Uncle catching ghosts

Chapter 10 Decoy

Widow Zhang's room was empty, and the setting sun shone in through the window, and a dozen flies could be vaguely seen flying like ghosts.

The village head's heavy breathing and the sound of the buzzing wings of the flies followed one after another. Standing in the corner of the room, he witnessed the sunlight stretching Jiang Manlu's figure to a long distance, and asked timidly, "Master Jiang?"

Jiang Manlu held a flickering flashlight in his hand and searched the room with his eyes. He found that Widow Zhang's room was more tidy than anyone else's.The dressing table and wardrobe are very old, but they have been polished very brightly. A lily plant is planted on the window sill, which is in full bloom and exudes a strong fragrance.

When the light of the flashlight swept across the room again, Jiang Manlu suddenly found that there was an upside-down spiritual tablet on the wardrobe. He tiptoed to take it down, and blew off a little dust on it.This coffin belonged to Widow Zhang's husband, Liu Qiang, but Jiang Manlu wondered why Widow Zhang didn't take care of it when it turned upside down and got dusty?

"Village chief, how is the relationship between Widow Zhang and his wife?" Jiang Manlu asked the village chief who was standing silently in the corner.

"It's not that good. There are quarrels every three days, and sometimes they get into big fights, which require the mediation of the villagers." The village chief replied.

"Then does Liu Qiang have any bad habits?" Jiang Manlu continued to ask.

"Oh, this man has all five poisons. He is good at eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking."

Jiang Manlu stopped asking him questions, and he continued to search, never letting go of any clues.He searched for all the places where he could hide things, but he just couldn't find what he wanted, "It doesn't make sense? I must have overlooked something."

Seeing him talking to himself, the village head looked at him with strange eyes, and tried to move his body to the window to bask in the sunlight.

Jiang Manlu opened the closet again and reached into the mezzanine. Sure enough, his hand suddenly touched something cold.Dazed for a moment, he quickly took it out. It was a spiritual tablet. Both of them were taken aback. Looking at the writing on it, Zhang Yuying's name was impressively written on it.

"This belongs to Widow Zhang's younger sister." The village chief said with wide-eyed horror.

Jiang Manlu was startled, and finally, his tense nerves relaxed, and everything became clear.

"Everything is clear." Jiang Manlu said, "Let's go, let's see if Liu Zhuang has found anyone."

The village head looked confused, "Master Jiang, you said you figured it out, but I haven't figured it out yet."

"You'll understand in a moment."

After leaving Widow Zhang's house, it was already night outside, Jiang Manlu looked up at the sky, and saw dense dark clouds in the sky, which was a bad omen.

"Go and tell me again, people in the village must not leave the village."

The village chief took a deep breath and sensed the danger in the dark night, so he responded and trotted away.

Jiangman walked towards Tian Liuzi's house with strides. The village was surprisingly quiet at this moment, not even a dog barking could be heard. Perhaps because of fear, every household turned off the lights and went to sleep.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a commotion, more than a dozen people came from the west entrance of the village with torches, cursing father and mother.

Jiang Manlu hurried up to meet him.It turned out to be Liu Zhuang's group. Liu Zhuang walked in the front with an excited face, swaggering.

"Brother Liu, have you been caught?" Jiang Man Road shouted from a long distance away.

"I caught it." Liu Zhuang responded, "I caught it in a cave outside the village."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Bring it up!"

When Liu Zhuang gave an order, several men pushed Widow Zhang up, only to see that Widow Zhang was tied tightly, her face was flushed and covered with sweat, and she looked pitiful under the light of the torch.

She turned her face, with a stubborn look, panting rapidly.

"Let's untie it." Jiang Manlu said.

Everyone looked shocked, "Master Jiang, we managed to catch her, what if she escapes?"

"Don't worry, she can't escape."

Only then did everyone untie Widow Zhang. Widow Zhang's body softened and she fell to the ground. Maybe it was because the rope was too tight. She hugged her arms in pain.

"Master Jiang, quickly burn her to death."

A young man jumped out and said.

Everyone in the village hated this "killer" stunner in front of them. In the past, Widow Zhang would have been their coveted object.

"Slow down, let's talk about it after we figure it out." Jiang Manlu said.

At this time, the village head also brought a few old men to this side. When he saw Widow Zhang, he became angry and wanted to beat her up. Fortunately, Jiang Manlu stopped him.

He said angrily: "Master Jiang, you can't protect her. This kind of person is a bastard. If you live with her, the whole village will suffer."

"Let's talk about it after we figure it out," Jiang Manlu said.

Jiang Manlu pulled the village head aside and said in a low voice, "We have to use her to lure that female ghost out."

The village chief was taken aback, "Then what can you do?"

Jiang Manlu whispered something in his ear, and the village chief agreed and nodded quickly.Afterwards, he ordered several people to fetch some dry firewood.

Liu Zhuang looked puzzled, and he asked: "Master Jiang, what is your intention?"

Jiang Manlu didn't answer him, and directed the villagers to build a wooden frame and surrounded it with dry firewood.

After everything was ready, the village head ordered Widow Zhang to be tied to a wooden frame.

Several men tried their best to support Widow Zhang. Widow Zhang was so frightened that she cried out heartbreakingly.

Jiang Manlu walked up to her, "If you want to prove your innocence, cooperate with us."

Widow Zhang was taken aback for a moment, "You don't need to prove my innocence, I killed the man, you can burn me to death." Then she laughed wildly.

This move horrified everyone.

"Is she sick?"

"I think it's crazy."

"She is the one who killed people, and she still wants to die, she deserves it!"

……

Soon, Widow Zhang was tied to a wooden frame by several men. She kept laughing wildly, and it seemed that she had made up her mind to show her ambition with death.

Jiang Manlu looked up at the sky again, and said, "Let's do it."

The village chief walked up to Widow Zhang with a torch and said loudly, "You are still going crazy when you are about to die?"

Widow Zhang said: "They are all damned people, you should burn me to death quickly, one life for two lives, it's worth it. Hahaha..."

"Hey, you want to die with all your heart, then I will help you."

After finishing speaking, the village chief immediately lit the firewood, and the raging fire immediately surrounded Widow Zhang, but at this moment, a gust of wind blew past.

"Don't hurt my sister."

A shrill voice sounded like it was about to pierce everyone's eardrums.As soon as the voice fell, a woman in red came floating up to the wooden platform, and with a wave of her hands, the raging fire was scattered everywhere.
