Into the modern comprehension

Liang Dehong, who was bitten to death by an animal suspected of being a big rat, died of a disgraceful death.

Most of the Liang family kept silent about this, but the middle-aged third aunt who lost her son didn't want to let it go, and threatened to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. Liang Dehong's death must be because someone in the Liang family couldn't understand him and wanted to reject others. I don't want him to get an extra piece of family property.Anyway, without investigating this matter, the third aunt, as a biological mother, would never agree to Liang Dehong's burial.

Seeing that Sui Erqi was interested in this, Uncle Xiang accepted the commission, and the two went to the funeral home to take a look at Liang Dehong's body.Although the third concubine made a big fuss about Liang Dehong, the person who actually received them in the funeral home was not the third concubine, but a young man in his thirties, Zhu Bin, who was Liang Dehong's natal cousin.

The first time Sui Erqi saw Zhu Bin, he felt that his current situation was not good, his complexion was extremely bad, as if he had been tired for a long time.He seemed to fall asleep standing up at any time, and he didn't know why there were so many people in the Liang family, but a person with a foreign surname was here to deal with the problem.

Before coming here, Uncle Xiang had a general understanding of the situation of the Liang family from Zhou Gang, and it was a big family.Today's Liang family has four wives and seven children, three boys and four girls. The relationship among them is indeed complicated, and the third wife has only one son, Liang Dehong.Because Liang Dehong himself did not have much ability, he was not reused in the Liang family, so he could only live by some dividends.But even if he is not reused and is the son of the Liang family, he must be part of the Liang family's property.

Money is not everything.Now that Liang Dehong passed away, his family didn't feel much grief, and the third aunt wanted to find out the cause of his son's death. Among them, it was difficult to say whether family affection took the top priority or whether he wanted to share more money with the evidence he found. things.

Zhu Bin explained some things before and after Liang Dehong's death, "It made me laugh, now the matter of my cousin is used as a topic of discussion by everyone. The Liang family wants to bury my cousin quickly, but my aunt disagrees. She always She felt that her cousin's luck would not be that bad. There were so many people on board, how could he be bitten by a coincidence. So no matter how the Liang family objected, she still hoped that the police could do a set of inspections, but the laboratory had already produced After obtaining the proof of no toxicological reaction, the matter was delayed like this.

My cousin's body was just delivered to the funeral home yesterday, so I invite you to take a look today.When my cousin had an accident, I was also on the boat. It wasn't long before the reception started, and everyone was sober before drinking much.The time when the mouse appeared was really sudden. No one saw how it jumped down from the chandelier, but it really went straight to the cousin.It went right through the back collar of my cousin's shirt, and before we had time to react, we saw that the back of my cousin's shirt was stained red with blood.At that time, everyone was really frightened and stupid. They were calling for help and trying to catch the mouse, but the mouse directly tore the clothes of the cousin. After it got out, it vomited a large piece of meat on the ground. Scared everyone around and ran away.Later, we tried to catch the mouse, but we couldn't find it no matter what. "

Zhu Bin shook his body as he said this, as if he was still getting goosebumps disgusted by the touch of the mouse getting into his clothes.

"My aunt entrusted me to investigate this matter. I really want to know the cause and effect, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep peacefully. I dare not turn off the lights to sleep these days. I always feel that there will be mice crawling on the bed, under the quilt. Drilling around inside. The two masters, please help me to see, is it really a coincidence that my cousin is being targeted by a big mouse?"

Uncle Xiang unzipped the zipper that contained Liang Dehong's corpse. The corpse had already been dissected, so there was no dying expression left.Uncle Xiang turned the corpse sideways, and he could see a big hole on the left side of the back waist of the corpse. Only by seeing it with his own eyes can he know how hard the big rat's bite was.

"It doesn't look like it was bitten by a mouse! It's almost the same if it was bitten by a large dog! Are you sure you're not mistaken about what kind of thing's mouth it is?"

Zhu Bin didn't dare to look at Liang Dehong's wound, and he said with deep sorrow: "So we were all stupid at the time, the animal that appeared was not a dog or a wolf, it really looked like a mouse, but it was bigger than a normal mouse. There are many, about half the size of an arm, everyone has seen its head, it has a pair of red eyes, it is very fierce!"

Uncle Xiang imagined a mouse with red eyes, which was a little creepy, "Then, have you seen the color of this mouse's fur? Does it have other characteristics?"

But Zhu Bin shook his head, "The situation at that time was so chaotic, I couldn't remember anything except the red eyes. The people around me were the same. We asked later, but no one remembered the specific appearance of the mouse. .”

When Uncle Xiang and Zhu Bin were talking, Sui Erqi had already inspected the corpse roughly, and found some cyan marks on the wound on Liang Dehong's lower back, but they were already incomplete. "Mr. Zhu, was this a tattoo before?"

Obviously, this is not the first time Zhu Bin has heard this question, "There used to be a tattoo where my cousin was bitten, it was done more than a year ago, the police did a biopsy, and there is no special toxicological reaction here. Nothing strange happened after my cousin's tattoo, so the mouse's eyeing on my cousin wouldn't have something to do with the tattoo?"

Sui Erqi didn't give Zhu Bin an affirmative answer. He noticed an evil spirit on Liang Dehong's body, especially in the lower back. Breath, gray like Yin Qi.

Uncle Xiang came over to take a look, but he couldn't tell what the original pattern of the tattoo was. Based on the remaining part, he could roughly guess that it was an animal.

"Does Young Master Zhu know what animal Young Master Liang stabbed? It couldn't be a mouse, right? Young Master Zhu, don't underestimate the tattoo, it's very particular. If you really want to say what you can stab and what you can't, that's it. You can talk for three days and three nights, and you even have to contact the birth date and the five-element horoscope. You said that this mouse didn't bite, but it just bit off the part of Liang that rarely has tattoos, isn't it a sign of something wrong?"

Uncle Xiang actually doesn't understand the thoughts of young people. What's the meaning of this tattoo?

In the past, it was called tattoo punishment, also known as ink punishment. It can be traced back to one of the five punishments of the Zhou Dynasty. Tattoos or patterns are tattooed, but once tattooed, they will not be washed off for a lifetime, which will bring a lifetime of mental burden.Now it has become a trend, is it because you watch too many TV series?It is also because he is old and does not understand the trend.

Zhu Bin said with some hesitation, "My cousin went to a regular shop to have his tattoo done. At that time, several of his friends went there for fun. The other people who got tattooed with him were all alive and well. My cousin is a dog, so I'm a dog. I stabbed a dog, and he showed it to me. I don’t think there’s anything special about it. It looks like an ordinary dog ​​with a slightly fierce appearance. Can this really cause trouble? I know the contact information of the tattoo shop and the tattoo artist , shall we go over and check?"

Uncle Xiang glanced at Sui Erqi to see what he was thinking.

Sui Erqi nodded slightly, they were indeed going to the tattoo shop to have a look.The art of tattooing does not only come from punishment, it also has another source.

"In ancient times, witches used tattoo techniques to obtain the power of divine descent. There is such a memory in Sui Erqi's mind, it is said that in the past, in order to obtain the power of supernatural power, the great witch stabbed the statue of the god on his body, and then the god could attach to the witch's body.

However, with the passage of time, who can guarantee that if a pattern is tattooed, the one invited must be a god?
