Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 55: Case Closed
"Did you become familiar with each other later?" Jiang You continued to ask.
"No, we only met twice in a year. One time I went to his place for dinner and said hello, and the second time was also accidental. The following year it was Xiaojuan's birthday. I couldn't take her out that time. Xiaojuan wanted to eat the cake she had that time, so I went to his shop to find him. He asked the kitchen to make the cake. He asked me why Xiaojuan didn't come with me, and I said she was sick. He gave me a small box of medicinal herbs and said it was a birthday present."
"Medicinal herbs?"
"Yes, they are all elixirs. He discovered that Xiaojuan had health problems a year ago."
"You have no doubts?"
"Yes, I investigated him for a long time and found out that he had some connection with the mountain. I told Master Hu about this. More than a month later, Master Hu asked me to keep in touch with him." Huang Hu's voice became a little hoarse. "Every time Xiaojuan communicated with him, her health would become very poor. I need those medicinal herbs."
"Then I don't quite understand," Jiang You bent his right knee, "Thirteen years ago, you were able to bring him down. Ten years ago, in Yanjing, he seemed to know your whereabouts very well, but you couldn't even find out his identity. This doesn't feel right."
"The situation in Yanjing is complicated. Thirteen years ago, he was in the open and we were in the dark. Ten years ago, it was the other way around."
"In other words, he gradually came into contact with the Jinghu Society through you?"
"Yes."
"Has he met Mr. Hu?"
"No."
"How much do you know about Mr. Hu?"
"Not too many. I've heard some rumors. He came from a small mountain village and passed the exam. When he went to Yanjing to study at university, he helped people with feng shui and was appreciated and promoted by a nobleman. The nobleman moved up the ladder and he began to master more and more things, until now."
"How old is Mr. Hu?"
"I don't know, he looks to be in his forties, probably more than that."
"How did Zhuang Zekun sow discord between you and Sun Xiu?"
"He needs sacrifices. It is becoming increasingly difficult to create an accident and obtain a large amount of blood food."
"Of course, there are cameras everywhere you go. All accounts must be linked to your phone, and your phone number is linked to your ID card..." Jiang You echoed, "You can't curse people so freely online. You have to pay attention to your account personality."
"Sun Xiu tried to use scientific methods to collect faith and transfer it into His body."
“It’s quite interesting.”
"Then Master Hu won't need me, nor will he need the inner courtyard..." Huang Hu turned and looked at Jiang You, "It doesn't matter if I die, but what about Xiaojuan?"
"Zhuang Zekun analyzed it with you?"
"hint."
"Where's Guan Nuo?"
"It is also a hint. Sun Xiu did a lot of experiments, and finally he thought that idols are the closest to God. They will make fans fall into fanaticism and become irrational. These emotions can become His nourishment. By constantly creating new idols, He can continue to become stronger, and finally..." Huang Hu suddenly closed his mouth.
"Now that He is powerful, that so-called noble person will get what he wants, right?"
"right."
“This is a historical regression.”
Huang Hu didn't say anything.
"Are you planning to take another route, stealing incense? And Guan Nuo's investigation into his father's affairs will hinder you?"
Huang Hu nodded.
"Using Tangjiang as a testing ground, is this also what Zhuang Zekun is hinting at?"
"No, it was ordered by Master Hu. Master Hu said that whoever wins Tang Jiang for him will be the legitimate one."
Jiang You turned off the law enforcement recorder and said, "Zhuang Zekun's actions should have been tacitly approved by the top leaders. He has a good relationship with the people on the mountain now."
"Is that so?"
"Is that why I can withstand your investigation?" Jiang You stood up. "It's nice talking to you."
Huang Hu looked at Jiang You, "I, Xiaojuan, my sister..."
His vision gradually became blurred, and he seemed to see a light, and in the light, his sister was walking towards him.
He closed his eyes.
Pull the corners of your mouth slightly upward.
A chuckle seemed to come from the basement.
The body was completely weathered, and a small wooden sign fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Jiang You picked up the wooden sign and walked towards the stairs.
Tang Butian and Zhuang Zekun stood outside Yuanju.
"There are a lot of bones under the lake," Tang Butian pointed to the bottle in Sun Yu's hand, "The ghosts in here have the same spiritual power fluctuations as Sun Fang. They intercepted a suitable evil ghost in Tangjiang City, modified it, and used it to harm people. The case can be closed."
"I'm beginning to wonder if I did something wrong by letting you go down the mountain."
Tang Butian pursed her lips and said nothing.
"With such a big change, I have to go to Yanjing immediately," Zhuang Zekun turned around, "Don't trust Jiang You too much. I don't know how he interrupted the ceremony. He is not an ordinary person."
Sun Yu stood aside awkwardly.
Jiang You stepped over a fallen stone pillar and walked to the door of Yuanju.
The sky had cleared up, and a ray of sunlight came out from behind the clouds and fell on Tang Butian's face.
"What did you find out?" Zhuang Zekun asked him.
Jiang You handed the law enforcement recorder to Sun Yu, "There are quite a lot of them, take a look for yourself."
He yawned and said, "Chief, can you go back now? So many things happened and I got up early today."
"Okay." Tang Butian walked towards where the police car was parked.
Sun Yu hurried to catch up.
Zhuang Zekun looked at the three people in front of him, sighed, and walked in another direction.
Walking to the police car, Sun Yu consciously sat in the driver's seat.
He closed the door, and Tang Butian asked Jiang You, "You've lived here before. The altar under Yuanju, the things under the lake, you really don't know?"
"I really don't know. I'm not a spiritual energy recorder that scans automatically when nothing happens. I was sitting in the back," Jiang You denied. He opened the car door and got in. "I'm really exhausted. I'm tired mentally and physically."
They returned to the Special Operations Office of the Tangjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau.
After a series of process reports, it was already late at night.
Jiang You took a taxi to Qingshui Bay. After entering the community, he called Chen Nan's cell phone.
"Hello, okay, yes, I'm already asleep." Chen Nan sat up from the bed.
She put on her slippers, threw on a coat, walked out of the bedroom and went to the door.
She heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
The door opened and Jiang You walked in.
"I'm so hungry," he said.
"There is black chicken soup. You take a rest for a while. I will make you some noodles and beat an egg in it."
When she was about to go to the kitchen, Jiang You hugged her and said, "I'm so tired."
Chen Nan didn't say anything.
Jiang You hugged her quietly for a while, then let go of her hand and said, "Where's Jiang Mo? Was he not naughty today?"
"I'm asleep in the small room."
"I'll go see him."
"good."
Chen Nan walked into the kitchen.
Jiang You walked into the small room, walked to the bedside, and pulled the quilt off Jiang Mo. "Look at you now. You don't even have to walk. I just call you and food is delivered to your mouth. Aren't you very happy?"
Jiang Mo opened his eyes.
Jiang You sat on the bed and ruffled his hair. "It's all settled. No one will disturb you from playing games."
