Afraid

After Miss Tuesday shook the bed, she went to the door and locked it.Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou slowly took off the oxygen mask on her face.After that, she looked at the door of the ward again. There was a layer of frosted glass on the door, and some shaking figures could be seen outside the door.

The old lady Zhou showed a decent smile to Xu Dui and others. It can be seen that the actual power holder of the Zhou family always keeps the importance of her image in mind. She seems to be trying her best to present everything in the most decent way. one side.

She's a nice old lady.

Shang Qingyun had a deep understanding of this before. After all, he still remembered that the old lady asked him to investigate the evidence of her daughter-in-law's infidelity, and at the same time spoke for her daughter-in-law.It's not an exaggeration to describe that scene with the phrase "see you for a long time".

The old lady pointed to the chair beside the hospital bed, and Xu Shiyan, who was walking in the front, said politely, "Please sit down."

Xu Dui was kind and did not talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "Did Zhou Shuqiong take advantage of his position to mutilate children, was it your order?"

"I didn't! How could I let him do such an outrageous thing! Comrade policeman, listen to me, the child mutilation was done by Zhang Libing, and it has nothing to do with my son—"

Team Xu interrupted her: "Zhou Shuqiong has already confessed."

Granny Zhou: "..."

A look of 'hating iron can't make steel' flashed across her face for a moment, but she stopped it quickly and sighed: "Then, I don't know. Sigh, these children are really——I, as a mother If there is no education, I am sorry for the country!"

"As the actual helm of Zhou's charity organization, you have neglected the management of the charity organization for decades. I believe you should be very clear about the responsibilities you should bear." Team Xu said solemnly.

There was finally a crack in the calmness on Mrs. Zhou's face. She asked in disbelief: "I, I am already facing bankruptcy. Isn't this punishment big enough? What else do you want from me? Didn't you see those people at the door? The debt collectors already look like they want to eat me? Do you want to follow their example and spoil my old bones?"

After the old lady Zhou finished speaking, her eyes were red, she looked really pitiful and helpless.

However, Xu Shiyan was like the stern and selfless Bao Gong at the moment, and he didn't show any sympathy for her. He just said in a businesslike manner: "According to our investigation, you once hired a private detective to investigate your son and daughter-in-law. Isn't it just to investigate this matter? It means that after you knew about this matter, you didn't intervene to stop it." Captain Xu used this as a quotation, wanting to see the old lady's reaction.

Mrs. Zhou quickly waved her hand: "No, no! You made a mistake, I had someone find out the blood of my grandson. Oh, the private detective didn't tell me about this, and now that everyone else is dead, you don't want to Blood spurting!"

Team Xu: "Dead?"

"Ah." The old lady Zhou nodded affirmatively, and added: "The last time I saw him, he gave me a piece of information, and those documents were photos of Zhang Libing and Dr. Yuan meeting in private. I asked him to help me Go to the public hospital and send another copy of my son and grandson's hair for DNA testing, and the result, who would have thought that he had a car accident that day? What a crime!"

Hearing this, Shang Qingyun suddenly asked, "As far as we know, you once told him that if your grandson is not your own, you will be buried alive if the Zhou family cuts off the incense? Is this true?"

As soon as he spoke, the air in the entire ward seemed to freeze for a moment.

The old lady Zhou's face was pale enough to be visible to the naked eye, and the second lady of the Zhou family seemed to be shocked as well, frowning and looking at Shang Qingyun.Team Xu and Xiao Li cast appreciative glances at Shang Qingyun, as if to say, 'You did your homework well'!

After a while, Mrs. Zhou's lips trembled and she said, "That's, that's what I can't do!"

"So, this is a real situation? Who wants to take you to be buried alive?" Xu Shiyan asked seriously.

Mrs. Zhou rubbed her eye sockets, she looked especially pitiful.She looked at her daughter who was standing not far away, as if she was looking at an unknown abyss through this daughter, and she said: "The Zhou family has been in Zhoujia Village in the northern suburbs of the capital since 300 years ago. Only one boy survived. The ancestral records say that the boy was..."

According to legend, 300 years ago, there was a small village named Zhoujia Village in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital.Most of the people in this village live by collecting herbs and hunting.One day, a little boy went hunting with his father and met two foxes who were making foxes.

The boy's father was overjoyed, and immediately drew a bow and set an arrow, and shot a female fox with one arrow.Seeing the fox crying, the boy quickly grabbed his father and said, "Daddy, let it go! It's crying!"

As a hunter, the father naturally didn't take the child's words to heart, pushed the child away, and picked up the bow and arrow again.But he didn't expect that the child picked up the two conjoined foxes on the ground and ran away when he turned his head to take the bow and arrow.The father shouted angrily, "Stop the unfilial son!"

In the end, the father caught up with the son, and the uninjured male fox also took the opportunity to escape. The boy's father failed to catch up with the male fox and regretted going down the mountain.Since this day, poultry in Zhoujia Village has always been bitten to death for no reason at night.

The first family to suffer was the boy's family, and then the whole village suffered accidents one after another. People 300 years ago were still very superstitious. When encountering such a situation, they didn't know how to investigate. They just said that they offended the mountain god and needed to sacrifice.Because the boy's family was the first to have this situation, everyone in the village said that the sacrifice should come from his family.

In addition to eating, drinking, melons, fruits and incense candles, the sacrifices offered 300 years ago also included living sacrifices, boys and girls being the best.Under constant pressure from a village, Orion sacrificed his son as a boy sacrifice.

There was also a mountain temple in Beishan at that time, and the boy and a pig's head were tied with the same red silk and hung horizontally on the arched table.After the whole village burns incense and worships the mountain god, they leave.

Nine days after that No.40, an earthquake occurred in Beishan, the foundation of Zhoujia Village sank, the houses collapsed as a result, and countless villagers were smashed.When the aftermath of the earthquake was not over, people struggling desperately in misery saw one after another, amidst the smoke and dust, a boy riding a fox galloped towards him. Villagers lend a helping hand...

Later, the surviving villagers of Zhoujia Village dug holes and built a fox fairy temple.In order to thank the fox for saving their lives.However, the strange things still did not stop.

The boy's parents were rescued because of the boy's timely appearance. The family thought they could live a peaceful new life.Unexpectedly, the boy's father gradually went into a trance, until one day he personally killed his wife in front of the boy, and his sanity recovered.

At that moment, the newly built Zhoujia Village was filled with mournful cries from Orion all night long.

However, the body of Orion's wife disappeared the next morning.It wasn't until a few days later that someone went to the Fox Fairy Cave to pray and saw a rotten female corpse in the cave, which looked like Orion's wife, and they suddenly realized that although the fox saved them, he did not forget Orion's revenge for killing his wife... …

This story was later circulated in the Zhou family for 300 years, and was repeatedly used by the patriarchs of all walks of life to restrain the behavior of men and women in the clan, and finally formed the Zhou family's family motto, one of which is the requirement for women who marry into the Zhou family, namely: Ruo Duan Zhou family incense holders should be sacrificed with the ritual of living Tibetans, and those who avoid sacrifices will be punished by foxes.

Strictly speaking, the old lady of the Zhou family is not the one who broke the incense of the Zhou family, after all, she gave birth to her son Zhou Shuqiong.If this family motto is really scary, then the person who should be afraid is not the old lady Zhou, but Zhang Xibing who really ruined the incense of the Zhou family.

After listening to this story, Shang Qingyun somewhat understood why Mrs. Zhou always talked about the phrase 'If you cut off the incense of the Zhou family, you will be buried alive'.She probably used this to remind Zhang Tingbing that the woman who cut off the incense of the Zhou family would suffer retribution.

If this is the case, then Mrs. Zhou may have known about Zhang Tingbing and Yuan Fei for a long time, and she will find a private detective to investigate, just to show off to her daughter-in-law. Hurry up and have another one with his son?

Will it be so?
