Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 222 Kingdom
Lu Ming agreed with Zhang Dingshan's judgment.

It must be so.Otherwise, how could the sniper attack on Mrs. Dong'an come in such a timely manner?

He Wei muttered, "What kind of cult is this, and the after-sales service is pretty good."

Lu Ming pouted.

It has been so many years since the matter of sacrificing the child in her womb to the gods, and she has been persevering, tirelessly following and monitoring the person involved, or tracking and monitoring Mrs. Dong'an for some other reasons, which can be regarded as a good job.

Zhang Dingshan tapped on the table lightly: "Okay. Based on the existing clues and speculations, I think that the focus of the next investigation should focus on this very likely, hidden behind-the-scenes power that is suspected to be a religious organization." .”

This force has been monitoring Lin Shiquan and his wife or Dong'an Po for more than ten years. More than ten years ago, he participated in—more likely presided over the ceremony of Lin Shiquan and his wife's sacrifice of their unborn child, and it is very likely that this led to The bad luck in Lin Shen's body, and poisoned Dong'an Po with Lewisite.

Moreover, there must be some kind of connection between this force and Dong'an Po.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mrs. Dong'an to explain the facts that Lin Shiquan and his wife believed in in one sentence.

Perhaps, the mystery of Lin Shen's "bad luck" can be solved by finding out the power hidden behind the scenes and suspected to be a religious organization.

"Agree."

"Agree."

Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang all expressed their opinions.Counting Zhang Dingshan, the four passed unanimously.

"At this stage, there are quite a few clues about this force."

No need to think about it, just now, He Wei can identify many clues worth investigating.For example, the source of Lewisite, such as the social relationship with Dong'anpo, or the social relationship between Lin Shiquan and his wife with this force at that time.

Lin Shiquan and his wife must have been connected with this force at the beginning.Otherwise, how could it be possible to sacrifice Lin Shen to some god with the participation of this force?
However, whether Lin Shiquan and his wife did this voluntarily or forcedly is unknown.

"Let's check Dong'an Po's background first."

With the cooperation of Lu Qingliang, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei personally operated, through visits, investigation of household registration information, etc., and within a day, they found out Dong'an Po's life experience.

It wasn't until now that the two of them discovered that, to Sanshui Village, Po Dong'an could be regarded as an outsider in a sense.

According to the memories of the elderly in Sanshui Village, decades ago, a woman in rags suddenly came to the closed and backward Sanshui Village.The woman claimed to have come as a refugee and was homeless, hoping to stay in the village.

At that time, the elders in the village made the decision and betrothed the woman to a bachelor in the village as his wife.Later, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl.This baby girl was later Dong'an Po.

Also according to the memories of the old people in the village, the woman at the time, the mother of Dong'an Po, although she claimed to have escaped, and was dressed in rags and weather-beaten, her behavior style was different from ordinary people, and she could vaguely see traces of a "rich family".

For example, the woman loves cleanliness very much. She washes her face, combs her hair and feet every day, and takes a bath and wipes her body whenever she has the opportunity.For example, the calluses on the hands and feet look like they have just been worn out, and it seems that they have not suffered or suffered in the past.Or, the woman is also very particular about eating.Although the family is poor and has little food, they can try their best to come up with some tricks to make meals easier to eat.

They are all Wowotou, but this woman's Wowotou can be made into shapes of little rabbits, chickens and piglets, and dotted with eyes with a little white flour.They are all coarse clothes, but the ones cut by this woman look much better than ordinary people's.

In Sanshui Village a few decades ago, this can be regarded as unique and unique.

The rest of the villagers at the same time had already exhausted all their strength in daily farming, so they didn't have the mind to engage in such vain things.

At that time, the villagers were envious of the bachelor who married a good wife.

Although these things about her made the villagers envious, they also made the villagers secretly guard against her.Especially the husband, who is even more afraid that the daughter-in-law he finally married will run away, so he watches closely every day.But after a long time, the woman has always been honest, showing no sign of running away.

Coupled with the fact that a child was born later, the people in the village are relieved.

The only pity is that she only gave birth to a daughter and no son.In the village at that time, it was regarded as an "extinct household".

But that bachelor couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law before, but now he has a daughter anyway, so it's not a disadvantage.

Later, Mrs. Dong'an grew up slowly, and for some reason, she was favored by the previous Mrs. Dong'an in the village at that time, and got the inheritance.When the previous Mrs. Dong'an died, she would become the new Mrs. Dong'an.

Also according to the recollection of the elders in the village, in the past, although the surrounding villages had always had a tradition of believing in Dong'an God, it was more of a custom than a belief.

Until the new Mrs. Dong'an took office, it was very lively. People "looked at things", normal things, looked at diseases, Feng Shui and so on. The reputation of her Dong'an Po is even more famous.He can be regarded as the number one person in ten miles and eight townships, and no one dares not to give face.

Until Lin Shiquan and his wife found her and spent a huge amount of money to build the statue and altar of Dong'an God, Dong'an Po's reputation finally reached its peak, and her life was considered to have reached its peak.But the good times didn't last long, and he died unexpectedly not long after. The inheritance of Dong'an God was slowly declining along with the split of "Dong'an Po" and the development of society.

When this information was placed in front of Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, He Wei quickly noticed the key point.

"Mother Dong'an, this person is not ordinary."

"Yes."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "I'm afraid, the reason why Mrs. Dong'an was able to get the inheritance of the previous Mrs. Dong'an is that she is behind the scenes. And, after getting the inheritance of Mrs. Dong'an, and having the identity of Mrs. Dong'an, how can the belief in the God of Dong'an be so great?" I am afraid that her great power is not only due to her talent."

Preaching also requires talent.At least for the cause of spreading the belief of Dong'an God, Dong'an Po is very talented.Not only that, after carefully reviewing the local belief of Dong'an God, other beliefs in the surrounding areas, the traditional missionary methods of its believers, and the missionary methods of Dong'an Po, one can clearly feel that some of Dong'an Po's missionary methods It is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to the rest.

For example, the missionaries of other beliefs, the missionary methods are nothing more than looking at things, seeing a doctor, looking at Feng Shui, etc., relying on real "curative effects" to spread word of mouth.Of course, this curative effect is sometimes ineffective, word of mouth is good and bad, and the spread is limited.

Also, the preachers of other faiths have always waited for customers to come to their door, never knowing to take the initiative to develop.In this way, the source of customers is limited and the influence is also limited.

But Dong'an Po is different.Not only does she have a lot of business, but she also has a faint tendency to intervene in "politics".For example, the principals in the village, the rich and powerful households in the village, etc., have all been developed into believers by her, and they usually do things like mediate disputes and balance interests in the name of "Dong'an God".

In this way, she became the link of the "politics" of the village.The bamboo building where she lives has become a place to discuss major events in the village.However, with the leadership of the rich and powerful households in the village, she became even more famous.

Even rich and powerful households say Dong'an Poling, so why doubt it?

Zhang Dingshan even suspects that if the social environment permits, Dong'an Po will be able to develop Sanshui Village and surrounding villages into a kingdom where politics and religion are united.

This kingdom is based on big and wealthy households, and Dong'an Po, the spokesperson of interests, can act as the king of this kingdom in the name of the gods.

This kind of method is really incomparable to those rustic country witches and gods.

Zhang Dingshan has sufficient reasons to suspect that Po Dong An's abilities come from her mother's precepts and deeds—at least partly.

After all, in a closed environment, it is really difficult to comprehend so many advanced methods by relying on one's own understanding alone.This is not just a matter of understanding, but also a matter of vision.

Without enough vision, without enough insight, no matter how high your comprehension is, you will not be able to comprehend these methods.

"Her mother may have come from the religious forces hidden behind the scenes. She fled to Sanshui Village with these 'advanced' religious concepts, and combined with the religious reality of Sanshui Village, she made an arrangement for her daughter to become the successor of Dong'anpo , and taught her own religious ideas to her daughter, so that she has these visions and insights. Afterwards, combined with her own talent, this Dong'an woman will 'dominate the world' and lay this foundation."

"But...it's a pity. It's been too long since the incident. There is really no way to investigate what happened more than 70 years ago."

Three years after Dong'an Po's mother came to Sanshui Village, she gave birth to Dong'an Po.It has been four years since Dong'an Po died in her 60s.Combining the two, the total is more than 70 years.

More than 70 years ago, the identity of the woman who fled to Sanshui Village, and which religious forces were involved behind her back, cannot be found out through this road.

"But at least we can be sure that if that religious force exists, it must have a history of more than 70 years. In this way, all religious forces that were born in recent years and whose history is not long enough can be completely eliminated."

"That's true."

"If that's the case, let's look it up from other clues."

The ones with the most investigation value are undoubtedly Lin Shiquan and his wife.After all, the couple died not long ago, and there are still many traces of social activities left.

But before, when investigating Lin Shen's social relationship, the couple had already been investigated for a round.In that round of investigation, apart from the strangeness of the deaths of the two, there was nothing worth noting.

"Check whether the two have religious beliefs, and Zhao Lifang's itinerary when she was pregnant. Let's split up."

"it is good."

With the cooperation of Lu Qingliang, He Wei used some data records to first delineate the approximate itinerary of Lin Shiquan and Zhao Lifang during the ten months when they were pregnant with Lin Shen 18 years ago.

But it is a pity that, also because too much time has passed, we can barely find out that when Zhao Lifang was two months pregnant, Lin Shiquan and his wife set off from Haiye City, where they usually live, to another city, and their whereabouts were unknown after that.Five months later, he returned to Haiye City from the third city.

During these five months, no one knew where the two of them had gone.There is no record in the transportation system.

This does not mean that the two deliberately covered up their itinerary.It's also possible that they were acting above board and then just because time passed, no one remembered anymore.

This thread was also broken.

Afterwards, news also came from Zhang Dingshan's side.

"Ignoring the fact that they frequently sought help from the master in the later stage, there is no clue to prove that Lin Shiquan and his wife have religious beliefs. There is also no evidence that they are involved with a certain religious force."

This means two possibilities.First, the beliefs of Lin Shiquan and his wife are very hidden and have not been known by any outsiders.Second, the behavior of Lin Shiquan and his wife to sacrifice Lin Shen was forced.

But on the whole, this thread can be regarded as broken.

In the video conference room, Lu Qingliang also reported some of the situations he had inquired recently.

"I communicated with some religious figures, experts in religious studies, experts in cult issues, etc., and they confirmed that there is no known existence on the current earth that has the ability to 'sacrifice unborn babies in exchange for certain benefits, and The act of sacrifice can lead to bad luck after the birth of the baby' religion, cult or belief."

Lu Ming sighed.He looked at He Wei: "Have you checked the source of Lewisite?"

He Wei frowned and shook her head: "Manufacturers and laboratories with the preparation, transportation, and storage qualifications for Lewisite have no record of theft. At the same time, the procedures for using Lewisite and reporting damages are complete, and there is nothing worth noting. place. I suspect that the Lewisite used by this force is most likely prepared by themselves."

"Prepare it yourself?"

Lu Ming felt a little heavy in his heart.

Even if Lin Shen and "supernatural forces" are not involved, an organization that has the ability to prepare Lewisite itself and has a record of using it is fully worthy of the attention of human society.

This organization already has the ability to carry out large-scale terrorist attacks.

——The Lewisite actually has a special detoxification method.If the corresponding drugs are used in the early stage of poisoning, the effects of poisoning can be minimized.But obviously, it is impossible for modern hospitals to store Lewisite antidotes on a large scale.Some chemical factories may have a large amount of corresponding drugs, but once a large-scale Lewisite poisoning incident occurs, it is impossible for these drugs to arrive on the scene in a short time.

It's always been about prevention.Once something happens, it will be extremely difficult to think about the aftermath.

Whether there is a special antidote is actually irrelevant, and it will not affect the overall situation.

Regardless of whether they have the intention to carry out large-scale terrorist attacks, as long as they have this ability, human society will do their best to fight against them.

Even, if necessary, Lin Shen's affairs can be put aside temporarily.After all, what happened to Lin Shen only affects himself.A large-scale terrorist attack may involve the lives and deaths of thousands of people.

Things have developed to the present, and it has turned into this situation, which no one could have imagined in advance.

Realizing that all available clues were cut off at this stage, several people in the video conference room fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Lu Ming sighed: "I can only try another method."
