President Shen Always Top Up Money

The disappearing golden peony

========================

Yuan Sanpang nodded repeatedly.

The team leader said that Sister Jin's mood hadn't calmed down, so Wu Fei asked him to send the list and brief information of all the actors in the town first.

Wu Fei found that it was very useful for him to choose to appear as a local prosecutor. To borrow Yuan Sanpang's words, it is as easy to use as Kogoro Mori's name appeared in the world of Conan, and the name of Sherlock Holmes appeared in the world of Sherlock Holmes.

If you want to ask something, you can directly find the corresponding person to ask; if you want to check anything, the staff will cooperate.

The list of actors was sent by Mayor Jin himself.

Wu Fei took a look and found that, as he had guessed, although there were many local actors, most of them were from the non-zhu tribe living in the local area like Lao Lu and Liu Cuihao.

Because the theater town pays the local people whose land has been occupied a rent that is enough for them to live on every month, there are very few Zhu people participating in the performance. Either they were asked by their family members to participate in acting to make money like Grandma Ning and her daughter, or the family was very difficult and had to earn an extra salary for acting.

Wu Fei asked Mayor Jin: "Why are there so few members of the Zhu clan participating in the show? Wouldn't it be good to earn more acting money?"

Mayor Jin said: "I also asked about this. They said that there is no way to give up the land. They are too poor to survive. I think the gods can understand. But if you are still acting here, you feel that you are too disrespectful to the gods. , so they don't want to."

At this time, Sister Jin finally managed to calm down. After Mayor Jin left, she was led to the room where Wu Fei and the others were staying.

Same as when he asked Zhang Zhen, Shen Xing first asked her if she found any abnormalities at the time of the incident, and then asked her about her usual relationship with her sister.

The younger sister’s answer is consistent with what Zhang Zhen and Mayor Jin said. She said that her elder sister has been very talented in dancing since she was a child, and she is also motivated, but except for her appearance, she is ordinary in every way, so Since she was a child, her sister has always taken care of her.

Having said that, my sister couldn't help crying again.

Shen Xing kept looking at her indifferently and calmly, unmoved, and just asked lightly: "Do you have anything else to say? Recall it carefully."

The younger sister looked up at him, flinched and said, "No, not anymore."

Her acting skills are indeed not very good, or she has no energy and strength to cover up at this time, even Wu Fei can see her flustered.

"Oh?" Shen Xingdao, "Is it really gone?"

"Like, something that frightens you."

At that moment, his temperament and tone of voice changed slightly. Wu Fei looked at Yuan Sanpang and Yuan Lao, they didn't seem to notice Shen Xing's change.

Wu Fei intuitively glanced at the communicator, which showed:

"Your contractor is currently using the identity [Fraud Master]."

Well, it really is the prosecutor disguised by the fraudster.

Under the questioning of the fraudster, Sister Jin finally couldn't bear it and collapsed.

She fell to the ground all of a sudden, tearfully said: "I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose... But since I entered the theater, every time I saw my sister perform a key role, she received so much applause and applause, I am I'm so envious..."

"Obviously we are all the same, so sometimes I can't help but think, if only I could replace my sister..."

"After coming here and starting to act with her as the mirror image of my sister, this feeling is even stronger. I heard that the temple here can make wishes. A week ago, I couldn't help but quietly placed a bouquet of flowers, writing With the wish of 'if only I could replace my sister', I mixed my flowers into the wishing bouquet..."

"In fact, I don't believe in this, I just want to have an outlet for catharsis. And I know that the flowers tributed in the temple will wither every day. The staff of the temple are afraid that the tourists will be angry, so they will take the withered flowers every morning. Replace it with fresh flowers."

"After I placed the flowers, I was afraid of being discovered by others, and I was always uneasy. The next day, just after dawn, I went to the temple before the staff went to the temple, and wanted to take my flowers before they came."

"But, but... I saw that all the bouquets withered as usual, only my bouquet remained fresh... The tradition here is that if the flowers you offer don't wither after a night, it means that the gods have promised granted your wish."

"I was very scared. I took my flowers quietly, and I didn't dare to tell others about it. My sister is so good to me. I am afraid that others will find that I am jealous of my sister and even want to replace her. I am also afraid of the truth. Something bad happened to my sister...I can only keep telling myself that these are all feudal superstitions with no basis, it's just a coincidence that the flowers didn't wither..."

"As a result, my sister still had an accident today, and she died so strangely in the temple..."

Speaking of this, Sister Jin broke down and sobbed again. Elder Yuan sighed, poured her another cup of hot water with the An Amulet in it, and asked the team leader to take her away and put her under special guard.

Wu Fei and the others called the flower seller to ask again. The flower seller admitted that because the temple is relatively dry, no matter what preservation method is used, the flowers will usually wither before the next morning.

Their wishing bouquets are expensive, and there are flower planting bases near the town, and the cost of flowers is low. Tourists who come here to make wishes generally just want to seek psychological comfort or seek auspiciousness, and don't really believe in gods, so they In order to cater to tourists, fresh flowers are always replaced in the early morning of the next day—the wishing bouquets are all packaged in the same specification, so tourists are not able to tell them apart.

After asking all the relevant personnel about the situation, it was almost five o'clock in the morning. Wu Fei and the others walked to the inn, planning to rest for a while. After all, the four of them are ordinary humans now, and their bodies cannot bear the burden if they do not rest for a long time.

Yuan Lao and Yuan Sanpang walked in front, Wu Fei and Shen Xing followed behind.

Shen Xing had already switched back to the identity of the prosecutor at this time, Wu Fei turned his head to look at him and said, "Brother Xing, you are really saying that it is like what that sister said, she begged the **** in the temple in a moment of confusion, and wished Did it come true to lead to such a result? All this was done by the **** in the temple? Then where is that **** now?"

Shen Xingdao: "I can't tell."

Wu Fei: "How to say?"

Shen Xingdao: "Currently there is no fingerprint or DNA detection equipment here, and we cannot accurately distinguish the elder sister from the younger sister by relying on the existing means. We are actually unable to completely determine who the deceased is."

Wu Fei said: "How is it possible? If she was lying just now, wouldn't she be able to tell the identity of the fraudster?"

Shen Jian gave him a meaningful look: "Time is limited, so there is no need to pursue too much. What is more important now is to find out the cause of death of the deceased."

Wu Fei nodded quickly: "Brother Xing, you are right."

When the four of them walked to the door of the inn, they saw a slender figure standing there. When they saw them coming, they greeted them, as if they were waiting for them.

As they got closer, Wu Fei recognized that this girl was Ning Fang.

I saw Ning Fang walking quickly in front of Yuan Sanpang, staring at him and said, "Did you enshrine the wishing bouquet in the temple that you want to take me away?"

The bouquet was enshrined by Wu Fei, Yuan Sanpang didn't realize it for a while, and said in a low voice, "...ah?"

Ning Fang didn't say anything else, but quickly explained: "Before the sun rises, you must get the bunch of flowers back, definitely! Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!"

Before they could ask any more questions after speaking, Ning Fang ran away into the distance. Jiang Hu warlock Yuan Lao was the oldest but most agile among the four, so he immediately chased after her.

But in order to make it easier for the actors to quickly move between different locations and get rid of unnecessary entanglements from tourists, the various alleys in the town were built like spider webs. Old Yuan was not as familiar with the roads as Ning Fang, and he quickly lost track of them.

Yuan Sanpang remembered that Ning Fang's eyes were still a little uneasy just now, and he suggested: "Why don't we go back to the captain and let them ask the mother and daughter of the Ning family? Isn't Lao Lu Ning Fang's father?" ? Would he know something?"

But at this moment, a scream was heard from Linfeng Inn, the scream was shrill, full of panic and fear.

People nearby were woken up, Wu Fei stood downstairs and saw the lights in each room of the inn come on one by one.

After a while, the staff who were guarding nearby also came.

Wu Fei and the others walked into the inn with the staff. The screams came from the second floor. As soon as they went up to the second floor, they saw a bloodstain on the ground, but the blood disappeared when they reached the stairs.

A young man was standing tremblingly at the door of the public bathroom on the second floor, not daring to move.

The staff asked him what happened, and the man trembled: "I just saw, saw, the golden peony that died in the temple at night, just crawled over the ground..."

Wu Fei and Shen Xing looked at each other, Shen Xing stepped forward and said, "Which room are you a guest? Why do you come out at this time."

Seeing the calm Shen Xing, the man seemed to have calmed down a little bit, but he still trembled and said, "I live in 205, and the toilet in my room is broken, so I came out to use the bathroom, but as soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw, I saw..."

Bloodstains meandered out of room 201. The staff went to knock on the door of room 201, but no one responded.

The man's scream woke up the nearby people. After the staff came, the people in the nearby rooms quietly opened the door to see what happened, but there was no response from 201.

The door was locked from the inside. The staff took the key from the innkeeper and opened the door. After a glance, he was stunned, as if he was frightened.

Shen Xing motioned to other staff members to evacuate the crowd, then pushed away the frightened staff members and walked in.

The guest in the room was lying motionless on the bed, having lost his vital signs, and the blood stains had soaked the entire bed...

More staff rushed over and began cordoning off the scene, evacuating the rest of the inn and doing other aftermath.

Wu Fei and the others were on the way to the temple. It was almost dawn at this time, Yuan Sanpang was worried, and still wanted to go to the temple to get the flowers.

Moreover, the temple was sealed off and guarded. How could Jin Mudan's body appear in the inn, and she was still afraid in the corridor. The scene the screaming man said was also very strange.

There were two staff members standing guard outside the temple all the time, Shen Xing asked them: "Has anyone approached here since we left?"

Both staff members shook their heads and said, "After you left, no one came close."

Shen Xing nodded: "We have something to confirm, please let us in again."

Old Yuan walked in front and opened the door first. The moment the door opened, Wu Fei and Yuan Sanpang were both stunned—only to see the corpse of Jin Mudan, which was originally placed on the statue and had never been moved by anyone, disappeared.

All the blood that had dripped on the statue and the ground also disappeared. But the smell of blood in the air of the temple is still very strong.

Under the light from the outside, the old and dull wooden statue also seemed to have a shiny luster.
