Chapter 175: The Second Case

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It didn’t take long before those who were sent to the villages to come back and report a case.

The new case took place in Zhijie village. A woman who returned to the village killed an entire family.

Wei Shilai said on the spot, “Go to Zhijie village immediately.”

The carriage was already prepared. After getting on the carriage, they quickly left town.

On the way, Zhu Zongyang was puzzled. He glanced at Liu Sanniang several times, wondering to himself if she could really predict the future.

He did not believe that anyone in the world had the ability to do that.

By noon, they arrived at the village. The constables and officers heading to the other villages had not returned yet, so there were not many people following Wei Shilai.

“The government is investigating a case. Those who are unrelated, please leave.”

Officer Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs.

The commoners immediately made way. They looked at the carriage and wondered why the officers had come over so quickly.

Wei Shilai and the others got out of the carriage. Liu Sanniang walked towards the house where the accident had happened. In her dream, she had already seen this place. Now that this scene was in front of her, she felt extremely uncomfortable. This time, it was even worse than the Huang family’s. Everyone in this family had been dismembered.

The adults and children died in extreme pain with twisted expressions on their faces. How much hatred did the murderer have towards them?

Officer Zhou’s eyes were red. “Sir, we’ve already checked. There’s no one alive except for the daughter of this family, Huang Jinzhi. She’s the murderer. When the villagers found her, she was holding a kitchen knife.”

......

Huang Jinzhi had already been tied up. In the courtyard, she was dumbstruck and trembling in fear.

Wei Shilai took a look at her and asked. “What happened to her?”

Officer Zhou replied quietly. “She doesn’t remember anything. Just like that person yesterday, she seemed to have lost her memory.”

She couldn’t remember what her name was or why she committed the murder.

Liu Sanniang had already walked to Huang Jinzhi and grabbed her hand. She released her power to envelop her. Huang Jinzhi trembled as if she wanted to struggle, but she could not break free.

Liu Sanniang still did not sense anything. She retracted her hand and stood up. She walked into the house and brushed her hands along the wall. Nothing, there was no memory in this house related to the murder.

Liu Sanniang could feel that this would continue to happen.

Wei Shilai’s expression was solemn. Officer Zhou brought the officers to ask the neighbors.

The first person to discover the tragedy was the Zhang family next door.

Madam Zhang said vividly, “I was so scared. When I got up to sweep the courtyard, I found a small hand. Oh my god, I was almost scared out of my wits. My old bones were about to fall apart.”

It was not hard to imagine how frightened she was to see a human hand in her courtyard so early in the morning.

Madam Zhang was not exaggerating at all.

When Officer Zhou asked why Huang Jinzhi wanted to kill her family, Madam Zhang thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure either. I’m just saying. Officer, you can judge for yourself. The Huang family moved here 20 years ago. This family doesn’t treat their daughter very well. Every time Huang Jinzhi returned home, if she didn’t bring back enough money, all the neighbors could hear her mother cursing her. However, they were her parents, brother, and sister-in-law. Her nephew was still so young. How could she be heartless?”

It was very common to favor boys over girls in that era.

However, it didn’t seem likely that Huang Jinzhi killed her family because she was not liked by her parents.

Madam Zhang sighed. “Poor family. No one survived the massacre…”

It was strange. Huang Jinzhi was a woman. How could she have the strength to kill everyone?

Officer Zhou frowned and asked again. “Didn’t you hear anything at night?”

The kitchen knife almost became blunt from dismembering the bodies, but the neighbors didn’t even hear a peep.

Madam Zhang shivered. “Officer, don’t scare us. We didn’t hear anything.”

She was afraid just thinking about it.

Seeing that he could not get anything out of her, Officer Zhou gave up.

In the Huang house, constables arrived one after another. They investigated the scene, but there was no clue.

Liu Sanniang stood in the courtyard, releasing her power to surround the house. She felt many memories that belonged to this family. She knew that this family valued boys over girls and was harsh on the Huang Jinzhi. They casually married her to a man in his forties for five taels of silver. Back then, Huang Jinzhi was not even twenty years old.

It was as if she was used to being beaten up. She would only come back during the holidays. Even if she came back, she still had to do a lot of work and even wash her sister-in-law’s clothes.

But Huang Jinzhi had no grudges. When she was mocked for being spineless, she only smiled and said, “This is what I should do for my parents.”

It was as if she owed them in her previous life.

Although people mocked her for being spineless, everyone wanted a daughter like her. She was capable and hardworking, and held no grudges. No one expected that Huang Jinzhi would chop up her family in the end.

She lived like this for twenty years and had never lost her temper, but all of a sudden, she took the lives of everyone in her family. People sighed and felt terrified. Those who usually treated their daughter badly also restrained themselves.

Everyone was talking about how Huang Jinzhi was just putting up with her family all this time.

However, Liu Sanniang knew that Huang Jinzhi was not putting up with her family. She really felt that it was her responsibility to treat her parents well. She felt that she owed it to her parents and would do everything her parents said.

Liu Sanniang retracted her power. The sound of scriptures came from outside. It was a little familiar. Liu Sanniang frowned and walked out of the door. She saw the monk, Wu Ju, sitting on the ground. The scriptures were being chanted by him.

The commoners around Wu Ju retreated and did not approach him. They looked at Wu Ju with reverence, as if he was a god that they could not blaspheme.

After chanting the Rebirth Mantra, Wu Ju opened his eyes and stood up. He nodded at Liu Sanniang. “We meet again!”

Wei Shilai nodded. “Master.”

After Wu Ju finished chanting the scriptures, the resentment in the Huang family’s house dissipated.

There were witnesses and evidence for this murder case, but there was no motive to kill.

Huang Jinzhi seemed to be scared silly. Her eyes were blank. When the officer pulled her up, he realized that she had lost control of her bladder, but she did not know it.

The dismembered body parts were also pulled into the car to be sent back to the mortuary, to be put together by the coroner.
