Chapter 1098: Getting Close to the Truth
The former mayor's wife who returned home was still hesitant to find Ding Zheng, she didn't eat a day today, and faced the last photo of her deceased husband, washing her face with tears.
The children were safely brought back by her friend, and by that time it was already dark, and there was not a single light in the huge house.
"Do you want me to stay with you tonight?"
Apparently her friends were worried about her, and looking at her haggard face, she must have cried again today! They were all instigated to tell the fortunes, and her friends also felt a little guilty.
"No need, please help me take care of the children tomorrow!"
The children also saw that their mother seemed to be unhappy, and since they lost their father, although it was a bit of a joke, she was more sensible than before!
They don't know how to comfort their mother, but they are quiet and don't make trouble for their mother! Of course, Ding Zheng didn't know that one sentence had caused the whole family to collapse, but in order to detect the murderer behind the scenes, someone must make sacrifices!
For one night, the former mayor's wife tossed and turned, even when she fell asleep, she had nightmares, dreaming that her children were asking for food in winter, dreaming that her children were being bullied when they were begging for food on the street, and this series of nightmares made her heart more and more anxious.
Wake up in a nightmare and fall asleep in grief! The former mayor's wife, who had been tormented all night, decided to go to Ding Zheng, since he could calculate her life, he could have a way to prevent him from the next catastrophe.
The sky was cloudy, the air was full of moisture, as if it was going to rain today, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in morning mist, with only a rough outline.
When the children were still asleep, the former mayor's wife got up and quietly opened the door and went out alone!
The temple fair in the morning is not as noisy and busy as during the day, but there are already merchants who have begun to take a place and count their goods, obviously they made a lot of money yesterday, otherwise they would not be so active today.
The former mayor's wife wrapped her veil and walked through the main road of the temple fair by herself and came to the City God Temple! At this time, Ding Zheng was still sleeping, and he had been busy for so many days, so he just waited for news, so he fell asleep today.
The former mayor's wife knocked on the door several times, and Ding Zheng heard someone knocking on the door! Quickly dressed up and came out to see who was knocking on the door.
The air in the morning mist made him a little refreshed, and when he saw that the person who came was the person he was waiting for, Ding Zheng's heart blossomed even more, but he couldn't show it on his face, and he had to pretend to be a master.
"I don't know if it's a bit rude for Madame to visit so early, but why did Madame visit?" Ding Zheng tried to restore himself to the appearance of an immortal yesterday.
"Yesterday, Mr. made it difficult for me to sleep and eat, so I took the liberty of disturbing and wanted to ask the idler to calculate another hexagram, whether I could avoid this catastrophe, or if there was any good way to solve it."
It's so early today, so naturally it's important for her.
"Sir, you can make as much money as you want, as long as you can help me solve this difficulty, I am willing to give it!"
"Madam, this hexagram is calculated for free, and I calculate nine hexagrams for free every day, and today you are the first hexagram! Please sit inside for a while! ”
Since she has come today, and she is here by herself, Ding Zheng naturally wants to ask more deeply about the mayor's case, everything he has done is for this case.
"Yesterday, Madame had a calamity, but this calamity happened to your deceased husband! If Madame doesn't mind, can you tell us about what happened to your late husband? ”
Ding Zheng naturally knew the case very well, but he definitely didn't know about the more private things of their husband and wife before the crime, and these former mayor's wives definitely didn't tell anyone at the police station.
"The children we adopted were born to me and my first husband, and we were still living in enemy territory! Later, my husband took refuge in the Japanese, and I divorced him, and only later did I meet my second husband! ”
Ding Zheng looked clear, no wonder there were so many flaws in the previous information about her, the first was that she lived in an enemy-occupied area, and the second was that someone must have helped him deliberately hide something.
"My second husband knows about my past, and of course he also knows my family background, and it is for these reasons that he can become the mayor!"
The former mayor's wife began to tell about her past, and she really wanted to be with the former mayor, otherwise she would not have given him so many children. But since he became mayor, everything has changed, and his busy schedule has led him to go out early and come back late almost every day.
A woman's heart is most likely to change at this time, but the former mayor didn't see her change, until one day the two of them had a big fight, and since then the two of them have behaved very well in front of others, and they are really indifferent at home and almost don't say a word, and they don't even sit together when they eat.
How did all these changes make a woman who has been divorced once!
"Although the two of us talked about it later, the problem was not resolved, and we knew that one day our children were threatened!"
"Threats? Who would dare to threaten the mayor's children? ”
The former mayor's wife smiled helplessly: "They threatened me with the child!" At first, I thought my husband didn't know about it. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"After my husband's death, I found two letters while sorting out his clothes, one from an outsider and one from him!"
Ding Zheng guessed that the content of the second letter must be the last words left by the former mayor to his wife, and he was eager to know the content of these two letters, because the clues to the case must be inside.
"The first letter said that if we didn't do what they said, we would kill our children! My husband doesn't believe in evil and doesn't take them seriously at all! ”
"Who are they?" Ding asked.
"I don't know, but they all have guns!" The division commander's wife still feels scared when she thinks about it, although she has the right, but the open arrow is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent.
The person Ding Zheng wants to find is them, and this one they Ding Zheng is sure to be in the army! How dare ordinary robbers now attack a mayor who holds important powers, only those who have the right and weapons in the army dare to do so.
"It looks like your husband has provoked someone he shouldn't have messed with!"
"But we have never provoked anyone, it was they who asked us to assassinate Commander-in-Chief Liao, and we didn't agree!"
Assassinate Liao Fan!
Could it be that the purpose of these people is really to assassinate Liao Fan in the end, why don't they do it themselves, you must know that the probability of success in their own hands is higher than threatening a mayor to assassinate Liao Fan!
Obviously, there must be a more shady purpose behind this, Liao Fan is just one of their targets or deliberately disturbing everyone's sight.
"Naturally, my husband refused, and they threatened to kill our family!"
Ding Zheng was suddenly a little confused, since he was threatening them to do something to Liao Fan, why did he come directly to the mayor in the end? It stands to reason that the assassination of Liao Fan should have been carefully arranged, how did it become such a ridiculous child's play!
Ding Zheng already knew what the mayor's wife told next, but he became more and more confused, what was the plan and what was the final purpose, he felt that his mind was in a mess.
"It's really hard to get away with this, but I need to read your husband's two letters, and it's best for me to go to your house to see your family's feng shui, and then cast a spell."
Now there are three things that puzzle Ding Zheng! The first thing is the true content of the letter, the second thing is their purpose, and the third thing is how they determine when and where the mayor arrived at the location where the bomb was placed.
There must be something wanted in those two letters, and the answer to this case is among them! Ding Zheng is only one step away from unlocking the truth.
The two of them agreed that at six o'clock this afternoon, Ding Zheng will fight for the former mayor's house!
"She must have been hiding a lot of things, she just didn't tell us!"
At that time, the assassination must have been planned, and Ding Zheng could even guess that they might have arranged a plan to assassinate Liao Fan, but Ding Zheng didn't know why it was the former mayor who died in the end.
"I'll go with you tonight!" The soldier who followed Ding Zheng also heard everything, tonight was the night they had the most chance, and he was afraid that Ding Zheng would not be able to cope with it alone.
"No, it can be seen from this morning that she doesn't want the third person to know about it anymore!"
Obviously, to be able to come to Ding Zheng today, the former mayor's wife mustered up a lot of courage, otherwise it would be really not easy for her to carry such a big thing as a woman.
"But your safety, if they were really involved in that matter, I'm afraid you already know so much, and they will arrange for someone to get rid of you first!"
They weren't sure what kind of people the former mayor's wife belonged to, if they were really red-skinned and black-hearted, Ding Zheng would be tantamount to letting himself fall into the tiger's hole, and the possibility of coming out alive tonight was very small.
"It's just right to come, I still want to meet them, I want to see who has such a great ability to assassinate Brother Fan!"
It's the critical time in the end, if he doesn't go, he will definitely not be able to see what ghosts, snakes, and gods are behind the curtain, and if he wants to get the truth, he will have to pay some price.
"I'm going to see our captain!"
The soldiers knew that they could not dissuade Ding Zheng from doing this evening, so they had to report the matter to their captain.
"Oops! Let me warn you, boy, that you can't report the case to your captain, and you have to abide by the confidentiality rules, do you know? ”
"Of course I know about secrecy, but you're not my superior, and my captain is also a soldier!"
Ding Zheng didn't want the two of them to meddle in this matter, but the two of them were directly under the command of Liao Fan and Huai Yuanliang, and they were just ordered to protect him, and Ding Zheng didn't have any command rights over them.
No way, no matter whether they follow tonight or not, Ding Zheng also has to think of a good reason to prevent emergencies!
