Chapter 377 New Year’s Eve Treats (Thirteen)

Lin Fei opened his mouth, and the guard who had gasped realized that he had made a mistake and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Lin Shaoqing, it was me, not me."

Lin Fei did not stop at the point as before, but paused and said: "There are many cases of pretending to be a ghost, so you should know that trouble comes from your mouth!"

The voice was stern, obviously angry, and the officer quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake again.

After admitting his mistake again and again, Lin Fei still didn't stop. Instead, he turned around and asked the pale Tang Yuan: "Has Master Wen been to other places since he came here?"

Tangyuan came to his senses.

In the past, when they handled cases involving pretense, they had seen the sufferings suffered by those involved in such cases.

As an outsider, I would feel uncomfortable looking at the people involved in the case. Now if something like this really happened to me...

Tangyuan knew that such matters needed to be explained as soon as possible, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense or conceal it. She hurriedly said: "Master Wen came directly from the door to the mourning hall. I hugged her and cried for a while, and then led She went to kowtow in the mourning hall. I was the first one to do so, and Master Wen was the second. When she got up after the obeisance, Master Wen's mood changed, as if he was stunned. I saw something was wrong with her, so I called her She shouted, but Master Wen suddenly stretched out his hand and strangled his own neck. I was frightened and screamed, and you guys came over."

The narration from beginning to end is very detailed. Wen Mingtang has not been to other places since he came in, and he has only come into contact with one glutinous rice dumpling.

Lin Fei said "hmm" and said to Tangyuan: "Take me to the mourning hall." After saying that, he walked forward and followed Tangyuan.

It’s not like they don’t know the way to the mourning hall, Tangyuan’s house also has such a big place! But if Lin Fei followed him like this, it would be hard for others to say anything.

Ah Bing, who was originally beside Tang Yuan, was even squeezed behind Lin Fei, and the group of people followed Tang Yuan into the mourning hall one by one.

The mourning hall is such a big place, and things like white cloth, paper money, candles, and braziers are also common things in funerals.

The air was filled with the smell of burning incense candles. Everyone stood in the hall and looked around, but they didn't see anything special.

At this moment, several women walked in from outside.

When Tang Yuan saw the women, he called out "Auntie" and "Auntie" several times. In the past few days, all these things were helped by some warm-hearted neighbors.

Whenever I have free time during the day, I come over to check in and help.

Seeing the people coming from Dali Temple, several women also called out to the Lord a few times, bowed slightly, and after giving a random salute, they began to work diligently.

Some helped cut paper money, some helped burn paper and exchange incense and candles, and some raised brooms to help clean.

The burned paper scraps and the ashes of the incense candles were blown everywhere by the wind, so the room needed to be cleaned from time to time.

There were suddenly a few more women in the originally small room, and it suddenly became very crowded.

The officer looked at Lin Fei: "Lin Shaoqing, do you want to withdraw temporarily?"

I just looked around and didn't see anything special. Master Wen came over and didn't eat anything. It's true that he was tricked by someone. Maybe he met him outside. When the doctor comes, he will know.

Lin Fei turned around after hearing this. Looking at this action, everyone thought he was about to leave, so they turned around and prepared to walk out.

But at this moment, Lin Fei called to the woman who was cleaning the house with a broom and asked, "What happened in the past two days?" As he said that, he pointed to a place under the candlestick and looked vaguely at the side. Deeper stains, saying, "This place is dirty."

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly said "Oh" and said: "I didn't clean it thoroughly. A mouse came here yesterday. After the mouse died, I washed it several times with water, but it was not cleaned in the end."

Hearing this, Tangyuan couldn't help but be surprised: "Auntie, why don't I know this?"

"It happened during dinner last night." The woman said, pointing to Ah Bing who was sitting next to her, and said, "You two went to the kitchen to eat. I saw that mouse jumping up and down, jumping around randomly on the ground, as if It was like stealing wine and eating it. I originally wanted to call someone to stop the rat, but after the clinker jumped for a while, the rat died on its own, so I took it away and cleaned it up. At that time, I thought that I have been most afraid of rats since I was a child. I didn’t say anything so as not to scare you.”

It turns out that’s the reason! Tangyuan suddenly realized and said to the woman: "Thank you, Auntie!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Fei ask the women: "Were these candles just replaced this morning?" He was pointing to the pair of candles on the altar that had only been burned a little.

Tangyuan nodded and said: "The candle burned out this morning, so I put it on." As he said that, he pointed to the candle he bought on the plate beside him.

All the things I need to do my errands are bought from the street and placed here.

"Don't burn it, take it off!" Lin Fei said, turning to look at the candles on the plate and covering his nose with his sleeve, "These candles have been tampered with."

…

…

When Wen Mingtang woke up again, what he saw was the yellow vines above his head. He could vaguely hear footsteps and some scattered voices coming from outside a screen of flowers and trees.

Wen Mingtang turned his head and looked at the figure walking outside the screen.

"I didn't inhale much, just take a few patches of tranquilizing medicine and it'll be fine!" The voice was very unfamiliar, and his slow tone and movements made him sound like a doctor.

The next voice sounded very familiar, it was Ah Bing's voice.

"Tangyuan cried for several days, and she couldn't even sleep well. I took a few soothing pills for her in the past two days. Unexpectedly, she escaped this disaster by some combination of circumstances."

"You need to get more rest if you escape!" The doctor said, "Even if her father is alive, he wouldn't want to see her so distressed. The deceased is gone, and the living still need to look forward, do you understand?"

Abing responded in a low voice, "I understand, I will advise her."

The doctor added: "Pick out all the candles that have been smeared with medicine and throw them away. If not, if someone takes them and burns them again, and causes a surprise, I'm afraid it will spread to people outside again." Got it!"

The voice that answered this time was not Ah Bing's, but Lin Fei's.

"Thrown it away," the voice came from far away, and a tall figure came in with the voice. Wen Mingtang heard Lin Fei's voice and said, "I'm waiting to find out who did this. .”

As soon as these words came out, Ah Bing's voice rang out, with a hint of obviously suppressed anger in his tone: "The villain is so hateful! He didn't even spare the deceased! Fortunately, all the people who came here today are If the people from Dali Temple are the ones who believe most in ghosts and gods, I don’t know what big trouble they will cause!"

Playing tricks here really makes Lao Yuan inexplicably get the reputation of "making trouble" even if he dies, and shading the dead is simply hateful!

Similarly, if Master Wen, who has become a Taoist, is caught by others today, wouldn't he also be regarded as "catching evil spirits" and be arrested and whipped to exorcise evil spirits?

Compared to Ah Bing's anger, Lin Fei's voice was relatively calm, but his tone was lower than usual, and it could be heard that he was also suppressing his anger.

However, no matter how angry he was, reason prevailed. Lin Fei said: "I asked the aunt next door to buy the candles yesterday morning. After I bought them, they have been piled on the plate like this. The plate is placed on the side, coming in and out. Everyone can encounter it, and you can’t find anything from here.”
