Chapter 1099: Coming to the Residence
The whole city was covered in fog until the afternoon, and the humid air made it feel a little cold! The rain has not fallen, but there are still a lot of people at the temple fair. For the era of lack of entertainment, the temple fair is the most popular form of entertainment, whether you have money in your hand or not, you can come to play, anyway, you don't need to spend money to watch the excitement.
Ding Zheng looked at the time, he was a little restless, maybe it was because of the weather, maybe he was only one step away from the truth.
In order to prevent others from disturbing, Ding Zheng hung out a sign full of nine trigrams outside! Regardless of whether the hexagram is full or not, he is not really a hexagram anyway, if there is really a big wronged person to send money to Ding Zheng, Ding Zheng will not be able to calculate anything.
Ding Zheng also knew that today's things were very extreme, either it ended very smoothly, or it was a big battle! So he must be ready, he must bring everything he brought from Guangdong, of course, he must not leak any flaws, otherwise a Taoist priest with a gun, anyone will suspect it.
When Ding Zheng went out, the dense fog had already dissipated, but a light rain was falling in the sky, and the air was a little colder! Ding Zheng, who was wearing a robe, complained about the weather, and it was really unlucky to do things in this kind of weather. has been a Taoist priest for two days, and he is a little chattering!
No matter whether there is a sword mountain or a sea of fire ahead, he must go, if he doesn't go, everything in the past few days will be prepared in vain, and the two mayors will also die in vain! If they really shift their target to Liao Fan in the future, it will affect the entire national process in the future.
Although Ding Zheng is not a righteous person, what is it to give his life for what he wants to maintain!
The rain is pouring down, and the raindrops form droplets along the oil-paper umbrella and finally disappear to the ground! There is a feeling that the strong man is gone. This time, Ding Zheng did not use his fortune-telling signboard, so he went to the truth alone.
The captain of the guard had heard everything from the soldiers, and he knew that tonight was the last moment for them, either to get the truth and leave alive or to die in the house in front of him, and all he could do was that they couldn't fall until Ding Zheng left safely!
"Is it six o'clock tonight?" The captain of the guard asked.
"Yes, it's six o'clock!"
"We still have a little time, you are here to watch, I'll find some help!"
If things are really more tricky than they imagined, and the other party has already made arrangements, even if there are two more, it will be difficult for them to ensure Ding Zheng's safety.
The captain of the guards plans to go to Lin Kang'an, and he is the only one in Qingdao who can provide the best help!
When the captain of the guards went to find Lin Kang'an, Lin Kang'an was still working in the police station, if there was a line they had planted in the police station, the matter might be revealed, although there were less than three hours left in the end, but these three hours were enough for them to prepare.
After wandering outside the gate of the police station for about half an hour, the captain of the guard decided to give up looking for Lin Kangan! Moreover, there are too many people in this matter, and it is easy to startle the snake, which affects Ding Zheng's plan.
"Captain, where's our helper?"
When the captain of the guards returned, the soldiers questioned him.
"We can only rely on ourselves today, and be clever then!" The captain of the guards is worried about the fight, they don't know who the opponent is, and they don't know if the opponent will have an arrangement, everything can only rely on themselves.
The drizzle drenched their whole bodies, and the worst weather was the worst thing for people, and the breath they exhaled could be seen in the subtle mist. Compared to the scorching sun in Guangdong a few days ago, the temperature here is really a bit cold.
"Damn Ding Zheng, why hasn't he come yet!"
Although the rain did not get heavier, it became more and more dense, and the dim lights in the distance made it impossible to see whether there were people on the street! But this rain seems to have a tendency to get heavier and heavier.
The sky is getting darker and darker, if it was yesterday, the sun had not set at this time, but today it is dark and you can't see anyone! The captain of the guard was also very anxious, and in this weather situation, it would cost more than usual to protect someone.
After waiting for an hour, Ding Zheng, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella, appeared in the rain!
"You wait here, I'll go in with him!"
After saying that, the captain of the guards walked directly towards Ding Zheng!
"Didn't you stop coming with you?" Ding Zheng saw the captain of the guard coming over.
"My mission is to protect your safety, and it will not affect your investigation!"
Ding Zheng was helpless, he had no choice but to take the captain of the guard to the mansion of the former mayor's wife!
The knock on the door in the rain was particularly low, and the umbrella in Ding Zheng's hand was handed over to the captain of the guards, who came as an assistant, and of course the assistant had to hold an umbrella for him.
After a while, the door opened, and the former mayor's wife was wearing a white dress, of course, not a filial piety dress! It's just that the clothes are too white, and it's really unaccustomary to wear white clothes on such a dark afternoon.
"Mr. Lao came to help in such weather!"
The former mayor's wife was polite, as if she were welcoming distinguished guests.
"This is my assistant, I hope Madame doesn't mind!"
"Don't mind, please sit in the room for a while! I've got hot tea ready. ”
It's a bit hot inside compared to the cold weather outside! The steaming tea was particularly tempting, but Ding Zheng and the captain of the guards looked at each other and did not touch the tea.
"Madame, may I visit your house now?"
Ding Zheng came to see Feng Shui, so he naturally had to come step by step, of course, looking at the house was also to find a good way to retreat for himself in the event of an emergency, otherwise they would not be able to run if the door was closed.
"Feel free, sir!"
Ding Zheng took out the compass from his backpack, and he didn't want other things, but this thing was the guy he was eating, and he had to bring it, even if he couldn't read the compass, it didn't matter, at least the former mayor's wife didn't know that he couldn't read it.
Although the decoration of the house is half, but after all, this house is left by the former mayor, upstairs and downstairs There are two floors! The wooden staircase creaks when you step on it, and it looks like it will break off with a little more effort.
"Come over here and help!"
Ding Zheng beckoned the captain of the guards to come over and help him, this was looking for a way out for the two of them! Neither of them can be careless!
The situation on the first floor is very similar to that of a normal house, with a living room and a kitchen plus three rooms! The former mayor's and wife's rooms are upstairs, but most of the windows upstairs have been sealed!
Looking at the rusty nails, it was obvious that these windows had been sealed for a while, but they couldn't tell how long, because the sea breeze blowing in Qingdao was easy to rust these iron things and accelerate their aging.
"This must have been sealed a month ago, right?"
The captain of the guard believed that the windows were sealed after the mayor's death.
"Don't talk!" Ding Zheng was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he asked the captain of the guard to watch more and talk less, otherwise the two people who were not professional fortune tellers would be easy to expose.
The fortune teller looks at feng shui, and the two of them look at the structure of the house and the route they can escape in case of emergency! Anyway, they came in, and if things went well, they could go through the gate, and if things didn't go well, these sealed windows were their way of escape.
It took them some time to visit the room, but unfortunately the windows of the upstairs rooms except for the bedroom were sealed!
"Where's the kid?"
Coming down from upstairs, Ding Zheng didn't see the children, obviously the children were not here!
"I sent it to my friend's house, it's inconvenient for the children to know about today's events!"
"This building was built in the late Qing Dynasty, right?" Liao Fan asked.
"Yes, this building originally belonged to a rich man's family in the late Qing Dynasty, and then it went through several masters, and finally came to us!"
"The building is in a nice layout, but unfortunately most of the windows in the room are sealed! According to the words of our faction, the harmony of yin and yang and feng shui is excellent, but after this window is sealed, the sunlight and moonlight outside the window cannot enter, and it will become a murderous house, which is extremely unfavorable to the people who live in the room! ”
Anyway, if you find some shortcomings, you can make up nonsense, not only the window is wrong, but even the direction of the door is problematic. Let Ding Zheng say this, the captain of the guards felt that there was no need for this house to exist, and it was best to demolish it quickly.
"Based on my observations, the windows of this house must have been sealed later, right?"
The reason why the window was sealed must have something to do with the former mayor, otherwise the view of this house is very good! With such a nice view, the willingness to seal the windows was certainly not the work of the owner of the original house.
"My husband sealed it! It all started when we received those two threatening letters, and although my husband wouldn't give in, he was still afraid of them, because we live here, and they would know if they asked! ”
"Do you know who they are?"
The former mayor's wife did not speak, but got up and went to her bedroom! She must not have known who was threatening her, otherwise she would have reported the crime, but the other party must have known who they were.
Two letters related to this case had been kept in her bedroom, and she wanted to burn them! But in the end she held back and hid the two letters.
Now she just took out the two letters just to ask Ding Zheng to find a solution for him, she didn't want to be tortured by this matter anymore, she promised her deceased husband that he must raise the child well.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, the lights in the living room were dim, and the former mayor's wife was heavy, but the wooden staircase did not make a creaking sound, maybe she was too light!
Ding Zheng and the captain of the guards were inconvenient to follow a woman to her bedroom, so they had to wait downstairs and watch the footsteps of the former mayor's wife disappear at the staircase.
"Is there really an answer in those two letters?" The captain of the guard asked Ding Zheng.
"Maybe there is no answer to the murderer behind the scenes, but as long as there is an answer to why the former mayor died, as long as this answer is found, many things can be logical!" Ding Zheng wanted to know the specific contents of the two letters more than the captain of the guards, and they just needed to calm down at this time.
