Bigshot, Your Wife Is With Her Tarot Cards Again!
Chapter 100 - The Truth from the Past
The woman’s face turned pale when Yun Qin exposed her thoughts. Then, Yun Qin said, “Don’t be nervous. I didn’t investigate you. I read your mind. Do you believe me now?”
After witnessing Yun Qin’s ability, the woman completely lost her initial fierce and arrogant demeanor. Instead, she sat on her chair in a daze.
“Your husband already treated you this way, why didn’t you leave this ‘dangerous village?” Yun Qin suddenly asked.
The woman raised her head to look at her and bit her dry lips.
The woman was a mother living in the countryside with her child alone. She usually had to worry about trivial matters in her life. Now that Yun Qin
asked, all the bitterness that she accumulated for many years poured out.
The woman’s name was Zhao Hua. She grew up in this village.
When she became an adult, she married a young man from the same village. Subsequently, the young man left the village for work. Zhao Hua’s parents died when she was young, and she had no other relatives. She had nowhere to go, so she could only settle down in this Coffin Village.
Although the days were tough, Zhao Hua’s husband would send some money to her every month. In addition, the village would distribute rations regularly, so they had enough food and clothing. When things got better, the two of them even had a baby.
However, her family background was not honorable so she was not well-received by the villagers. This was because her mother was abducted and sold to this village.
Zhao Hua’s father was an old bachelor in Coffin Village. He was lucky enough to get “assigned” a beautiful wife.
Why was he assigned? It was because in Coffin Village’s early years, apart from selling items used for funerals, they also sold living people.
Coffin Village was a huge transit station for human trafficking.
Apart from transporting coffins to the surrounding areas daily, Coffin Village also used coffins to transport people who were abducted.
Once a person was stuffed into a tightly packed coffin, there would be no sound at all, and no one would be able to discover them.
Moreover, ordinary people would superstitiously avoid unlucky things such as coffins.
Ever since a large human trafficking gang was arrested in a nearby town more than ten years ago, Coffin Village stopped its human trafficking business.
Afterward, the village chief took matters into his own hands and called on each family to sign a death contract to bury all the dirty business that the village was engaged in.
After so many years, as the older generation died of old age and illness, this secret could no longer resurface.
Coffin Village was still the same as before, selling items used for the dead to more than a dozen nearby villages and towns.
However, a few days ago, when Zhao Hua and a few women were washing clothes by the well, they suddenly saw a female corpse floating in the well. She was extremely beautiful, and her skin looked like porcelain. It seemed that she died recently.
One of the women immediately called for her husband. Then, the village chief came with a group of people.
After seeing the female corpse, the village chief’s expression changed drastically. He immediately ordered everyone present to not tell anyone. He even took Zhao Hua and her group of women away. After a long period of “convincing”, he forcefully sealed their mouths.
The official word was that the corpse was a woman who fell into the well not long ago. She was likely a tourist who accidentally fell in.
However, Zhao Hua did not believe it. As soon as the female corpse was fished out of the well, the plague hit all the livestock in the village. After that, a person would die every night.
She felt that perhaps the village resumed their old business of human trafficking. However, this time, they encountered a stubborn person and they threw her straight into the well.
All the strange things that happened in the past few days must be linked to that female corps in the well who came to seek revenge.
After listening to Zhao Hua, Yun Qin nodded and fell into deep thought.
If Coffin Village was really involved in human trafficking a few decades ago, and now an unknown female corpse surfaced in the well, it made sense why the villagers were extremely wary of outsiders. They were afraid that their dirty deeds would be exposed.
However, Yun Qin felt that there were still many things that did not make sense.
“Since you knew about the evil things they did in the past, why didn’t you call the police?”
Fear appeared in Zhao Hua’s eyes, she said, “Most of the people who knew about this matter are dead. They didn’t even tell their families before they died. The only reason I knew about this was that my mother told me. She told me to escape and stay far away from here.”
“But I don’t have any family elsewhere. Where can I escape to?”
Yun Qin narrowed her eyes and said softly, “So many people are under control?”
“You don’t know this, but the village chief’s son is a high-ranking official in the city. In the past, someone did try to send a petition to him but that person was stopped halfway there. When the village chief found out, he beat that person to death! It’s useless to call the police!”
Zhao Hua gritted her teeth and said. This was also the reason why she had been swallowing her anger for so many years.
A small village chief with so much power? It seems that Yun Qin would have to investigate this person thoroughly.
