Merchant of the Underworld

When I said this, Xia Qin immediately lowered her head in embarrassment: "Actually, the reason why my brother-in-law returned to his hometown in Shandong is because he felt that the gangsters here were already interested in my sister. Sooner or later, something would happen. He wanted to make a steamed bun After leaving the store, my sister and I went back to our hometown to continue farming for a living. But after he came back from his hometown in Shandong, his whole person changed and he would no longer hide away when things happened. Those gangsters didn't know and even came to his door. He provoked me and was chased across several streets by my brother-in-law with a knife. If the police hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid those gangsters would have been hacked to death."

A person's personality changes in an instant. In addition to being affected by a yin object, it may also be due to mental problems. Therefore, I am not sure whether he is controlled by a yin object for a while.

Xia Qin continued: "When my sister and I went to the police station to visit him, we found my brother-in-law sitting on a chair with an indifferent expression on his face, as if it was only natural to chop several people. There was not even a trace of fear in his eyes. I looked at his face and I was dumbfounded. Is this really that honest and honest brother-in-law? What happened these days? Why did my brother-in-law become like this?"

I looked at her and asked, "Did your sister notice anything strange?"

"Yes!" Xia Qin nodded without thinking: "My sister said that my brother-in-law got an old knife from nowhere, and he often talked to himself while sitting in the yard at midnight. Sharpen the knife..."

Sharpen a knife?

Li Mazi and I exchanged glances in a tacit understanding, and it seemed that this guy was the one to blame.

Xia Qin continued: "My brother-in-law regards that knife as a treasure. No one is allowed to touch it, not even my sister. In the past, my brother-in-law was very obedient to my sister, but now he talks coldly. My sister thinks it is wrong for him to do this, and she is afraid that he will I was possessed by an evil spirit, and because I was not familiar with this place, I could only ask me if there were any good Taoist priests nearby who wanted to perform a ritual for my brother-in-law. I am a teacher, so I don’t know much about this, so I had no choice but to discuss it with Mazi. "When she said this, she looked at me cautiously: "What do you think of this matter?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "It's best to go to your sister's place!"

"No problem." Xia Qin nodded.

We quickly drove to Macheng and found Sister Xia Qin’s steamed bun shop. Perhaps because something happened at home, the shop was not open. The door was locked and a lot of words were sprayed on the wall with red paint. , are all threatening words.

Xia Qin was startled when she saw such a battle. She rushed to the store door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Sister, are you in there? Are you okay?"

After a while, a pale woman slowly opened the store door. She looked extremely tired and smiled weakly at Xia Qin: "Are you here?"

"Sister! Are you okay? Why do you look so ugly? Where is your brother-in-law?" Xia Qin looked at Xia Se's condition nervously.

Xia Se sighed worriedly: "Your brother-in-law is not at home. He went out last night and he hasn't come back yet. He can't get through on his phone. I'm really worried that something will happen to him."

Xia Qin asked: "What's going on with the wall outside?"

Xia Se looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual before saying: "They are the group of people who were stabbed by your brother-in-law. They also found some gangsters and threatened to take revenge and regain face! I was too scared to open the door. They I smashed it outside for a long time, cursed a lot of unpleasant words, left after spraying these words, and said I would come back tomorrow. Xiaoqin, what do you think we should do? This is not an option if we continue like this, otherwise we should move away. If we go back to our hometown in Shandong, as long as your brother-in-law and I work hard to farm, we will definitely not starve to death."

Xia Qin frowned and said, "Sister, don't just think about escaping when something happens. There is no obstacle in this world that you can't pass."

Xia Se shook her head helplessly and finally noticed Li Mazi and me. She asked slightly nervously: "Who are they?"

Xia Qin hurriedly introduced: "These are two friends of mine. They are very good at handling that kind of thing. I invited them to come and see my brother-in-law." She specially emphasized the word 'that kind of thing', and her tone was particularly weird. , but Xia Se understood it immediately. She looked at me and Li Mazi gratefully and invited us to come in and sit down.

This steamed bun shop is very small, with only a small room at the back apart from the work area.

Although the room was small, it was cleanly cleaned. Xia Se looked at me and Li Mazi curiously, and quietly asked Xia Qin: "Didn't you say you had a boyfriend recently? Is he a tall one? ? He looks quite handsome."

After saying that, Xia Se cast a satisfied look at me.

Xia Qin hurriedly shook her head and explained: "It's not that one..."

Since it wasn't me, Xia Se's eyes quickly fell on Li Mazi, and then he showed a disappointed expression: "Are you crazy?"

Xia Qin's expression changed, and she hurriedly pulled her sister aside: "Don't worry about my affairs. Besides, now is not the time to talk about this. It's better to find my brother-in-law first."

Even so, Xia Se still showed an expression of dissatisfaction with Li Mazi. In fact, this is easy to understand. If I have a daughter in the future and bring home a son-in-law with a pockmarked face, I will definitely break her legs without hesitation!

Although the first impression was not good, Li Mazi was an invincible Xiaoqiang, how could he be defeated by such a trivial matter? He immediately adjusted his expression and walked up to Xia Se to inquire about the situation very enthusiastically: "When did my brother-in-law leave? Did he say anything before going out?"

The corner of Xia Se's mouth twitched slightly, and she replied with some discomfort: "After dinner last night, he took out the knife to sharpen it again. I saw that he looked strange, and I was afraid that something would happen again, so I asked him to sharpen it. Put away the knife and rest early. But he told me coldly not to mind my own business, and then went out. I asked him where he was going, but he didn't answer. By the time I chased him out, he had long disappeared."

I pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the knife?"

"Knife?" Xia Se was slightly startled: "My husband walked away with a knife on his back."

After hearing this, Xia Qin couldn't help but worry: "Sister, how could you let your brother-in-law take the knife out? What if he goes crazy and cuts someone again."

Xia Se said helplessly: "What can I do? He doesn't listen at all to what I say. How could he become like this? What happened? What should I do in the future?" , unexpectedly cried in grievance.

When Xia Qin saw her sister crying, she also shed tears. Li Mazi had to be there to comfort her.

I really didn’t want to waste any more time, so I cleared my throat and said, “When did your husband’s personality change start?”

When I asked about this, Xia Se stopped crying and said without thinking: "Since he returned to his hometown in Shandong half a month ago, our situation was not very optimistic at that time. There were always some unscrupulous people coming to our door." Looking for trouble, he discussed with me that he didn’t want to open a store here, but wanted to go back to his hometown. I knew his character and was really not suitable here, so I agreed. He said he would go back and clean up his old house first, and I didn’t think much about it, but When he comes back, his whole person changes. I ask him nothing but he doesn't say anything. He talks fiercely, which makes people scared."

Just as he said this, he heard a bang and the door was kicked open. A short but fierce-looking man appeared in front of us. He carried a one-meter-long saber behind his back, and his whole body exuded a dangerous smell.

Xia Se breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the visitor. He hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Where have you been? I didn't answer my calls. Don't you know I would be worried?"

It seems that this man is Xia Se's husband.
