No. 7 Fish House

"Who is your sister?"

Yang Mingzhen looked at the insane Taoist priest in front of him, and asked patiently, "When did she die?"

Jia Daoshi was taken back to the police station by Yang Mingzhen to assist in the investigation. He was a little embarrassed, holding the cup on the table tightly with both hands. Hearing Yang Mingzhen's question, he became emotional: "My sister died half a month ago. , I came to the police station to report the case, they called me a lunatic and kicked me out!"

Yang Mingzhen looked sideways at Cui Liang who was standing beside him, and asked coldly, "Did you drive him away?"

"I'm wronged, Captain, you went to Weishui half a month ago." Cui Liang mentioned this after Jia Daoshi, recalling what happened to him, "At that time, Wangcheng's team received a report, and a person died at No. 14 Yangxi Street. A woman named Jia Yue rushed to the scene and found that this woman committed suicide because she had obvious knife wounds on her wrist, and there were more than one wound, which means that she had scratched her wrist many times in an attempt to commit suicide..."

Jia Daoshi was very excited when he heard this: "It is impossible for my sister to commit suicide. She was killed by witchcraft."

Yang Mingzhen's face changed slightly: "What witchcraft?"

"A kind of witchcraft that can make people beautiful." Jia Daoshi looked at Yang Mingzhen and said very seriously, "This kind of witchcraft needs human blood, so my sister scratched her wrist many times."

Cui Liang interjected: "Since you know, why don't you go save your sister?"

Hearing this, Jia Daoshi scratched his hair with his hands in pain: "I knew it too late."

Yang Mingzhen immediately found out the photo that Jia Daoshi had given him before. In the photo, Yan Shuihua was wearing gloves on his left hand, only one was not, and it seemed to have scars on it.

If Jia Daoshi is telling the truth, then these photos are evidence of Yan Shuihua's death. She is also using the same method to transform herself from an ugly duckling into a beautiful white swan, but on the day she becomes a white swan, Her beauty is forever fixed.

"My sister was very cute when she was a child. After taking a lot of medicine for a serious illness at the age of 12, her whole appearance changed drastically. She became ugly, very inferior, and cried all day long... "Jia Daoshi fell into sad memories.

"There is a legend in our village, as long as you talk to yourself in the mirror for an hour every day, after a long time, you will see a brand new self in the mirror. You need to nourish this person with blood. When the time is right, you Your face will gradually become like hers, but at that time, your whole body will be like a mirror, and the organs in your body will be reversed, what originally grew on the left will grow on the right..."

"Mirror Man!" Cui Liang exclaimed, "No wonder the forensic doctor stripped Yan Shuihua's body and found that her heart had grown backwards. They thought it was just a different body structure."

Yang Mingzhen snorted coldly, pointed to the black and white photo of Yan Shuihua on the desktop and said, "It's not just that her heart is reversed, you should take a closer look at the moles on her face."

Cui Liang took the photo with his head down, and looked carefully. In the beginning, there was a mole on the left side of Yan Shuihua's chin. In the end, when she became a corpse, the mole ran to the right.

"How is this possible? It's too far-fetched." Cui Liang was surprised. "It's just a legend. How could it be true? I don't believe there is such a mirror that makes people beautiful. There are no more ugly girls."

Jia Daoshi said: "I didn't believe it at first. We knew this legend when we were very young, but no one in the village succeeded. In order to look beautiful, my sister bought many mirrors and put them in the room. She talked in front of the mirror every day. The neighbors all around thought she was crazy."

Speaking of this, Jia Daoshi was a little regretful: "I took her to the tea city overnight and rented a house at No. 14 Yangxi Street. I worked outside every day, and when I got home, I saw my sister talking to herself in the mirror... "

"I'm really fed up with those days. I just want to earn a little more money and rent a new house by myself. The house on Yangxi Street will be left to her."

"Suddenly one day, my sister came to my work place to find me, and she told me that she had become more beautiful. I was worried at that time, so I didn't pay much attention to her. I only took a cursory look, and she seemed to have become thinner. Before No matter how she diets to lose weight, her body just can’t lose weight, but she did lose weight that day. I thought to myself, maybe it’s because she’s not in a good spirit and eats less, so she lost weight, so I didn’t think much about it .”

Jia Daoshi sighed: "If at that time, I could have cared more about her and noticed the wound on her wrist... But I didn't, I only cared about myself and didn't care about her, obviously I was her only relative , but left her alone on Yangxi Street."

"Do you know where Yangxi Street is?" Jia Daoshi looked at Yang Mingzhen and asked.

"In the tea city, Yangxi Street is the dividing line between the rich and the poor. A small alley separates the poor from the rich. No. 14 where she lives is the poor area, only one alley away from the rich area. Her room Opposite is the largest firework hall in the tea city, and you should know how beautiful the women are there, police officer."

Yang Mingzhen nodded, of course he knew that the women in Longmen Hall were always stunners.

Because of her ugly face, Jia Yue's yearning for beauty is almost pathological.How much Mei has hit Jia Yue, I'm afraid only she knows.

Jia Daoshi continued, "That day when my friends and I went into the Longmen Hall to drink flowers and wine, I heard someone say that there is a beauty at the back door of the Longmen Hall for free. As long as you stand downstairs and praise her for her beauty, you can enter her room."

"Because of curiosity, I followed my friends to the back door of the Longmen hall. I looked up and saw that the direction was my sister's room, but I felt that woman was very strange. She was not my sister, why was she standing in my sister's room?" .I immediately ran to No. 14 and knocked on the door. The door opened, and a man in disheveled clothes came out from inside. At that moment, I was stunned."

The woman standing behind the man was Jia Yue. She smiled and said to Jia Daoshi: Brother, am I beautiful now?They all say I am beautiful.

Hearing these words, Jia Daoshi stretched out his hand and hit his sister for the first time: "You are so mean!"

"Despicable?" Jia Yue sneered, "Brother, when you left here, how did they humiliate me? You don't know anything, so why do you beat me and scold me! I'm beautiful now, and they all praise me, no Will humiliate me again, why do you still come to scold me!"

Jia Yue frantically pushed Jia Daoshi away, no matter how much he shouted, Jia Yue refused to open the door.

"I knocked on the door of her room for a long time, and finally alerted the police and took me away." Jia Daoshi said, "I never thought that that was the last time I saw Jia Yue. The words she left me were, brother You will see a more beautiful me."

"I did see the most beautiful of her. When I came out of the police station and broke down the door of her house, I saw a very beautiful corpse."

After listening to Jia Daoshi tell this story, Cui Liang and Yang Mingzhen felt a little confused, they stared at Jia Daoshi, is what this crazy man said true?

"I'm not crazy." Jia Daoshi looked at Yang Mingzhen's suspicious eyes and tried to explain, "After Jia Yue died, I was pretending to be crazy in order to investigate the truth of her death."

Yang Mingzhen was startled: "The truth?"

Isn't Jia Yue's death just a simple mirror witchcraft?

"This is the photo I took after my sister died." Jia Daoshi handed the photo to Yang Mingzhen.

The woman in the photo has a small oval face, willow brows and star eyes, red lips and bright teeth.

"This face looks familiar." Cui Liang exclaimed, and Yang Mingzhen immediately compared the photo of Jia Yue's corpse with the photo of Yan Shuihua's corpse.

"God! After the two of them died, their faces became so similar!"

Jia Daoshi said: "There are mirror legends in our village. That mirror is not an ordinary mirror. It is impossible for an ordinary mirror to make people beautiful. In this world, there is only one mirror that can achieve this effect, but now this one Mirrors can't exist at all!"

"If it appears, it will prove that my sister is not the only one who died next."

Jia Daoshi deliberately lowered his voice and said: "It turns out that after her death, Yan Shuihua who lives next door to my sister became the second scapegoat."

"Replacing the dead ghost?" Yang Mingzhen felt that this case once again exceeded his understanding of the world, changing his appearance, killing people in the mirror, but in the end it was just taking the place of the dead ghost?Is it another crime committed by a stranger?

If so, then he had to visit No. [-] Fish House again.
