Chapter 55 Spicy Hot Pot
I felt quite depressed when I returned to the house. My sixth sense told me that the person who escaped just now must be the real culprit behind the scene. He was the same person as the black shadow that was entangled by the baby spirit in the chicken farm . Both times, he was very close to me, but he always slipped away. But since he has appeared, I will catch him eventually.
Lin Yuxi checked Cheng Guaizi's body and found no wounds. I told him to look for more, and then turned around to search for clues. There was no decent furniture in the room, only a broken bed with a mosquito net hanging on it and an eight-immortal table with one leg broken. In addition, there was a pile of junk on the ground and his fortune-telling tool.
These rags were all picked up from the trash can, including women's worn-out shoes and some old clothes. The old man lived a very frugal life, and most of his clothes were rags he picked up. These were of no value, so I flipped through them casually and then opened his stall cloth. It was similar to ours, with patterns of the Eight Diagrams, Yin and Yang, and the Luoshu River Map. However, there was a pocket on his stall cloth, and I reached in and felt around, and took out a few coins and a business card.
We fortune tellers rarely leave business cards, because this is a one-time deal. We can tell your fate once and for all, and no one can get it back. Unlike those feng shui masters, they will help you put down a talisman today, and then find out if it doesn't work, and then they will put it down again for you tomorrow. They will do this many times and make a lot of money from you.
This is a woman's business card. Her title is manager of a certain clothing company, and her name is Xu Xiaofei. Such women are all arrogant, rich and beautiful. They don't take fortune tellers selling fortunes on the street seriously. If they want to find a fortune teller, they will go to a famous master like Yu Zhengyao. How did Cheng Guaizi hook up with such a woman?
Just as he was puzzled, he heard Lin Yuxi exclaim from behind: "Little rascal, look at his belly, why is it moving?"
I turned my head quickly and saw that she had turned the body upside down and unbuttoned her clothes. Her bare belly was shaking and bulging from time to time, but each time the bulge was in a different place. I was immediately shocked and ran over to pull her away. I stared at the strange situation and said, "There is a poison in his stomach. He was killed by a poisonous insect. The murderer is really sinister. He wanted Cheng Guaizi to die and then let the poisonous insect crawl out of his stomach to kill us!"
"Then let's run quickly." Lin Yuxi pulled me and tried to escape.
I held her and shook my head: "No, the insect has an hour's life span. If we don't take care of it, it will probably harm the neighbors after it comes out."
"What should we do then?" Lin Yuxi's beautiful eyes widened.
After thinking about it, I stood up and ran to the table, picked up the thermos and unplugged it. I found that there was still most of the hot water in the thermos, so I poured it all on the belly of the corpse. Then the belly trembled violently, and then slowly calmed down. Gu worms are cold in nature and are most afraid of hot things, but this is only a temporary solution. After a few minutes of cooling, the Gu worms will still come out. I looked up and saw a hand warmer on the bed. Cheng Guaizi is old, and he uses this thing to warm the bed in autumn.
So I took the hand warmer, plugged it in and placed it on my belly. This thing could provide continuous warmth, and as long as it could suppress the insect for an hour, then everything would be fine.
We dared not stay here for long, fearing that the murderer would report the crime and the police would block us here again. I found a rope and tied the hand warmer to my stomach before leaving. After leaving the old city, it was still early, just around nine o'clock, and Lin Yuxi and I took a taxi to the address on the business card. We couldn't let go of any clues now.
After arriving at the location, I found that the company was not far from Yonghe Street, just across a street, and there was an alley connecting them. I was a little disappointed. Maybe this white, rich and beautiful woman passed by Yonghe Street occasionally, saw the fortune-teller, and asked Cheng Guaizi to tell her fortune. But since I was already here, I should at least take a look before leaving. However, the building was dark, the people had gone off work long ago, and the business card showed the company address instead of the residential address. I came here in vain.
Lin Yuxi rubbed her stomach and said, there is a spicy hot pot vendor over there. She had hardly eaten anything all day, and now she saw that there was food for sale over there, so she couldn't help but feel hungry. When she saw the spicy hot pot, she suddenly remembered the joke on the Internet and told her that it was her treat today, and she could eat as much as she wanted.
The girl seemed to have seen this joke, and she glared and cursed: "Get lost, you little hooligan, do you believe I will kick you to death?"
We walked over and saw a girl eating in the store. She was very pretty. I recognized her immediately. She had once asked Cheng Guaizi to tell her fortune. Because she was beautiful, I looked at her several times and was impressed. When we entered the door, she also looked up at us, but when she saw Lin Yuxi's mole face, she frowned and looked disgusted.
Lin Yuxi pouted and walked in to find a corner to sit down. She had just ordered some spicy hot pot when another woman came in and greeted the beauty: "Manager Xu, you are eating here so late, are you working overtime tonight?"
"Yes. Don't call me manager outside from now on. Call me Xiaofei."
We were both stunned. It was really a case of searching for something without any effort, but finally we got it. This woman was Xu Xiaofei!
The two women sat together, talking a lot, mostly about clothes and shoes, which sounded boring. But they suddenly changed the topic and aroused our interest. Xu Xiaofei talked about Cheng Guaizi, who was very accurate in fortune-telling. He said that in the next few days, her luck would change and she would be able to marry into a wealthy family. The other woman asked who her boyfriend was, but she was always mysterious and refused to tell. Xu Xiaofei smiled but did not answer.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the wealthy family she was talking about seemed to be related to this case. Could it be that she fell in love with Su Chengda and secretly asked Cheng Guaizi to plan this murder case, taking the opportunity to get rid of Lin Yuxi, and then she could marry into the wealthy Su family? This sounds like a story that happened in a TV series, but what actually happened in reality was far beyond the limits of people's imagination, and was even more absurd and bloody than the TV series.
The two women finished eating first, paid the bill and went out. Lin Yuxi turned back and pouted at Xu Xiaofei in dissatisfaction. I hurriedly got up to pay the bill and pulled her out to chase after them.
"What are you doing? I'm not full yet. Tell me the truth, did you think that girl was pretty and wanted to chase her and take a few more glances at her?" Lin Yuxi looked at me with squinted eyes, appearing very angry.
"She is Xu Xiaofei..."
"So what? It's just that I asked Cheng Guaizi to tell my fortune. What's so strange about that?"
"Just follow me."
"No, I'm not full yet..."
I had to drag her away with all my might. I really don't understand what's so good about spicy hotpot. A girl had sex with her online friend 13 times for 6 yuan of spicy hotpot. Do women like spicy hotpot more than they like iPhones? If that's the case, I'll treat you to a 12 yuan one later...
We followed the two women quietly for a while, and then they separated and went their separate ways. Xu Xiaofei turned into the alley leading to Yonghe Street, and her high heels made a heart-stirring "clacking" sound on the asphalt road, so we didn't have to worry about losing her.
This alley is narrow and long, with no street lights, dark and quiet. It is now ten o'clock in the evening, and there is no one else except the three of us. This kind of night road is particularly dangerous. I really admire this woman's courage. After walking about thirty meters forward, the wind suddenly blew in the dead silent alley. It blew on my body and gave me goose bumps. I felt something was wrong. I hurriedly took out the moxa leaves I brought from Yu Zhengyao's bedroom, spit on them, gave one to Lin Yuxi, and each of them stuck it on their foreheads.
