Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World

Chapter 8: Cinderella's Courtyard (Part 7)

This night was too chaotic, and then Xiao Yong walked into the locked room like last night, and the barrier at the door disappeared. Zhang Kai and Fu Lili helped Wang Fengxia call in an ambulance. After a preliminary examination of Xiaojun’s unabnormal body, the medical staff indicated that it might be a sudden heart attack. .

Wang Fengxia had no objection to this, she endured her sorrow and prepared for the funeral.

The others in the compound went back to their rooms and silently remained silent on the matter.

Fu Xiangxiang himself couldn't remember when he returned to the room, only the progress of the plot (28/100) displayed on the arm screen showed that all this was not a dream.

Although Fu Xiangxiang intellectually knew that everything around him was nothing but a plot already written in the dungeon world and shouldn't be too distracted, he still couldn't help but want to find out the truth as soon as possible and end it all.

Early the next morning, Fu Xiangxiang called the factory to ask for leave.

The workshop director was very angry: I have never heard of anyone who asked for leave as soon as they started.

But the new female worker Fu Xiangxiang didn't care about the job at all and insisted on asking for leave.

The director gritted his teeth bitterly: Your salary will be cut in half this month!

Fu Xiangxiang, who didn't expect to receive this month's salary, said in a magnificent manner: You are free!

City Library.

After scouring a bunch of old newspapers and looking for a corner that was not noticed, Fu Xiangxiang began to search for information.

One person is too inefficient, Fu Xiangxiang thought for a while, and summoned Qin Shisan to help.

Qin Shisan, who had finished her retreat, looked refreshed and energetic.

"Looking for something? I do my best in Xia Zi. It's just—" Qin Shisan hesitated: "I don't know if the text here is consistent with the next era."

Fu Xiangxiang piled a stack of old newspapers in front of him: "Try it."

Qin Shisan looked down, and his face was surprised: "They are the same."

Fu Xiangxiang hooks lips: That is, the system always has to add some buffs to you to communicate without barriers.

After Qin Shisan was confident, he began to ask: "Dare to ask what the girl is looking for?"

Fu Xiangxiang thought for a while: "Look for criminal cases within the last year, oh no, within three years. Key words: female workers, mothers and children, murderous wives, etc."

Qin Shisan nodded and began to read the newspaper obediently.

He is really small, and it is naturally difficult to read the newspaper, but he is also a monk of Qi training level anyway, and he can still use small spells.

Fu Xiangxiang saw a little monk hovering in the air. In front of him were sheets of newspapers that were also hanging in the air, rustled by invisible hands.

Fu Xiangxiang found it interesting and couldn't help but look at it a few more times before turning his gaze back to the newspaper in his hand, looking it up one by one.

After a long while, Qin Shisan hesitated to speak: "I found a similar one, but... it was not a pure wife murder..."

Fu Xiangxiang took a look at the newspaper, and the huge headline read-"A family of three died suddenly on a rainy night, and domestic violence ended in tragedy"

Fu Xiangxiang glanced at it and made sure, that's it!

The newspaper's narrative is concise and rational, without too much description, but it can still make people feel the tragic case of this case easily.

[On May 29, xx90, the Chengnan District Police Station received a report. The reporter Sun Qiang (pseudonym) claimed that he was slashed by his wife with a sharp knife. When the police arrived at the scene, Sun Qiang was hit by a heavy object on the head and stopped breathing.

In addition, the bodies of Sun Qiang's wife Fan Lili (pseudonym) and his four-year-old son Fan Xiaoming (pseudonym) were also found at the scene of the crime.

According to police information, the knife injury suffered by the victim Sun Qiang came from a kitchen knife at home. There were a large number of fingerprints on it. After examination, the fingerprints were identical to those of his wife Fan Lili. His wife Fan Lili died of mechanical suffocation in the neck and committed suicide; his son Fan Xiaoming Before his death, he suffered severe violence, resulting in multiple traumas, broken ribs and torn liver.

After multiple investigations and evidence collection, the police determined that this was a human tragedy caused by domestic violence. After Sun Qiang drank a lot of alcohol, he used violence against Fan Xiaoming, causing him to be seriously injured and killed. In grief and anger, his wife Fan Lili chopped him to the wound with a kitchen knife and hit him to death with a heavy object on the head. Then he hanged himself in the room...

The police urge everyone to drink in moderation, to be friendly in the face of family members, to be rational in the face of conflicts, and to report to the police in time. I hope there will be no such thing in the world...]

Qin Shisan's expression was gloomy: "He Gu, a young boy, someone will do this to his own child!"

Fu Xiangxiang was also very uncomfortable after reading it: "This Sun Qiang, oh no, Sun Desheng is simply a scumbag. If you beat such a small child like that, if I were Fan Qing, I would have to cut him with a knife..."

She suddenly understood why Sister Zhao was full of sadness and regret when she talked about Fan Qing and Xiaoyong.

It is indeed a pity that just because he married such a man by mistake, he lost both his life and his child, which is really sad.

The screen of her arm flashed, reminding her that the progress of the plot has become (45/100).

Fu Xiangxiang touched his chin: "Strange."

Qin Shisan looked at her.

Fu Xiangxiang flipped his arm to show him his screen: "We seem to have found the truth of the matter, so why is the progress of the plot only 45%?"

Qin Shisan now has a general understanding of her mission in this world, and he twisted his eyebrows and thought: "There must be some doubts to be solved."

Fu Xiangxiang followed the temptation: "For example?"

Qin Shisan's eyes returned to the old newspaper, and his tone became serious: "The biggest doubt is-Fan Lili, that is, why Fan Qing became an evil spirit."

Fu Xiangxiang noticed his words and raised his eyebrows: "Evil spirit? I remember that when you saw Xiaoyong before, you said he was a "resent spirit". Is there a difference between the two?"

Qin Shisan smiled approvingly at her: "Girl Xiangxiang is really careful."

Then he explained: "Most ordinary people will turn into "ghosts" in everyone's mouth after death, and ghosts usually have no spiritual power and mana. They will dissipate or escape into reincarnation after unconsciously staying in the world for seven or forty-nine days."

Fu Xiangxiang murmured. As an atheist, she originally didn't believe in these supernatural events, but now in such a world, even her own existence is quite supernatural, and she can't help but not believe in other things.

"What's the matter with the ‘spirit’?"

Qin Shisan earnestly explained: "All things in heaven and earth have a spirit. After death, if a person has great resentment or hatred, he may turn into a resentful spirit or an evil spirit. The two are similar, but there are still differences. The obsession that originated from the deceased's life often lingers in the place of death for a long time, but the resentful spirit itself cannot directly attack humans. Xiaoyong is an example."

"And evil spirits have a certain attack ability in laws and the like, which stems from the hatred of the deceased. Evil spirits usually stay in the land of death, but their range of activities is larger than that of the resentful spirit, and they can also leave the land of death in a short period of time, such as They can leave the land of death to hunt down their enemies before they are alive."

Fu Xiangxiang: "Xiaoyong passed away innocently, so he became a resentful spirit; Fan Qing harbored hatred, so he became an evil spirit. This sounded reasonable."

Qin Shisan shook his head: "It's reasonable for Xiaoyong to become a resentful spirit. But Fan Qing-if Sun Desheng was killed by her, her great vengeance has been avenged, and the resentment has disappeared, since she has hanged herself, why would she become an evil spirit again? ?"

"Uh..." Fu Xiangxiang touched his chin: "Watson, you found a blind spot."

Qin Shisan was stunned: "Peanuts?"

Fu Xiangxiang coughed dryly: "That's not important. By the way, you just said that'evil spirits have the ability to attack within the law'. What does this'rule' mean?"

Qin Shisan’s attention immediately turned from "Peanuts": "Evil spirits cannot attack humans at will, but must follow certain rules, and this law is usually based on the resentful spirit's own abilities and post-mortem conditions. Fixed."

Fu Xiangxiang suddenly realized: "For example, in the courtyard where I live, the rule of evil spirits is that those who live in the courtyard must come back before nine o'clock every night. As long as we abide by this rule, the evil spirits can't do anything about us. She can directly attack those who obey."

Qin Shisan nodded: "Exactly!"

Fu Xiangxiang sighed, "But why is there such a rule?"

Qin Shisan: "Usually it is related to the evil spirit's experience before death. Maybe she has a certain obsession with nine o'clock."

Fu Xiangxiang gave him a thumbs-up: "We Xiao Thirteen know so much!"

Qin Shisan paused, then coughed lightly and continued: "There is one more thing I don't understand." He pointed to the name in the newspaper: "The pseudonym here should be based on his real name, right?"

Fu Xiangxiang nodded: "It should be. So Fan Qing's pseudonym is Fan Lili, and Sun Desheng's pseudonym is Sun Qiang."

Qin Shisan was puzzled: "Why didn't Sun Qiang's son take his father's name?"

Fu Xiangxiang looked at the three words "Fan Xiaoming" in the newspaper and fell into thinking.

No wonder Qin Shisan had such doubts. In modern society, it is normal for children to follow their father’s surname or their mother’s surname. No one finds it particularly strange. But Qin XIII, an ancient person, pays more attention to general ethics such as monarchs, fathers and sons, and sees that children do not follow their father’s surnames. There will inevitably be questions.

However, his question is not surprising.

The age of this copy is quite traditional, and the majority of children follow their father's surname, especially the first child. If Fan Qing's family is superior, Sun Desheng came to the family, or Sun Desheng himself is gentle and considerate and doesn't mind whose surname the child bears, that would be reasonable. But in fact, whether it is the small house where the two of them live, or Sun Desheng's habit of domestic violence after drinking, it shows that these two points are impossible.

Therefore, the greatest possibility is—

Fu Xiangxiang and Qin Shisan looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Xiaoyong is not Sun Desheng's child!"

Fu Xiangxiang sighed: "Even if he is not his own son, it is still a beast to treat such a child like this!"

Qin Shisan: "What the girl said is very true!"

Fu Xiangxiang's gaze stayed on the headline of the newspaper for a while, and when he raised his head again, his eyes flashed with scorching light: "There is still a big doubt."

Qin Shisan turned his head to look at her.

Fu Xiangxiang pondered, "The newspaper said that it was the police who called Sun Desheng before he died—"

"There are so many people living in the courtyard, and the soundproofing conditions are poor. How can Sun Desheng and Fan Qing make such a big noise, how can other people not hear it? But if anyone comes to take a look or persuade you to say something, it won’t become the whole family of three. In the tragic death situation, in the end it will be the turn of a seriously injured person to call the police himself."

Fu Xiangxiang pressed his finger on the word "Rainy Night" on the title, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Then the question is here, where did everyone else go? Especially it was raining that night."
