Chapter 233 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 18
"The sun's position is determined by the time of day, and the location of things is determined by the time of day. To determine the location of things, look at the sun's position from near or far."
Lu Yingniang remained calm and unperturbed, slowly reciting an ancient incantation.
In her heart, she cursed, "You young man, you do nothing all day long, why are you always staring at a country woman like me?"
If you're so capable, how come you didn't find the body?
snort!
She's not the same person she used to be; before, she was always nervous when facing the police.
But with this incredibly accurate fortune-telling experience as a foundation, she felt more confident and had even greater trust in the "Chaos Celestial Register".
Lu Yingniang is no longer the fake sorceress who used rhetoric to deceive believers; she now possesses genuine skills and has a distinguished background.
As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire, and true gods fear no ghosts at their door.
She was full of confidence and fearless.
This attitude infuriated the young policeman.
What kind of nonsense are they spouting? How dare they talk like that in front of the police?
Just as he was about to get angry, the old policeman coughed and stared sharply at Lu Yingniang's every move.
Where were you on July 20th?
Lu Yingniang was taken aback, and slowly said:
"Making talismans at home."
"Didn't go out?"
"no!"
"What about your man, Hu Ziqiang?!"
The older policeman pressed closer, his tone stern.
"He's in the field now."
Where was your man on July 20th?
"He's with me! We're both at home."
"Didn't go out?"
The old policeman was somewhat skeptical and pressed for more information.
"no!"
Lu Yingniang's tone became somewhat impatient.
Veteran policeman Feng Jinguo kept a close eye on Lu Yingniang's every move, even noticing her eyebrows clearly.
Unfortunately, he did not notice any signs that the woman in front of him was lying.
He began to wonder, could this whole thing really have been predicted by this woman?
How can this be?
The first time Liu Xiao'e reported something, Hu Ziqiang overheard some hooligans plotting something.
The second time Zhang Tingting dodged a knife from the assailant, they also thought it was just luck.
They do not agree with the rumors.
But the story got weirder and weirder, and then it was said that this woman sold one of her talismans for a sky-high price of one thousand dollars.
It was bought by a group of Taoist priests.
They immediately concluded that it was a charade staged by Lu Yingniang, a country witch doctor, and a group of shady Taoist priests, all to sell talismans at high prices.
Sure enough, when they arrived, they saw a long queue outside the fortune teller's house.
Surprisingly, markets spontaneously formed on both sides of the road.
Damn it, this old woman has some nerve!
Unfortunately, the old woman was very shrewd and insisted that what she was selling was not a talisman, but an artwork, a painting or calligraphy.
The pricing is entirely determined by the customer. If they are willing to pay a high price, is it any of your business?
What's even more infuriating is that the pilgrims queuing outside not only ignored the police's advice but also pointed their fingers at them and cursed.
Tell them to go cool off somewhere else and stop causing trouble here.
That infuriated them.
It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin – they don't appreciate a kind heart.
Last time, they really held a grudge against Lu Yingniang.
Unexpectedly, I heard Lu Yingniang's name again in the case of the missing high school girl.
This old woman really dares to meddle in everything.
On the way here, the master and apprentice were exchanging ideas.
Hu Ziqiang, the man who was certain it was this old woman, might have just witnessed a rape, murder, and body disposal case.
Hu Ziqiang not only failed to report the crime, but also used it as an excuse to defraud the victim's family of money.
Although Hu Ziqiang's actions cannot be punished by law, he and his wife are not subject to legal punishment.
But threatening her and giving her a moral condemnation is still acceptable.
But now, either they've made the wrong deduction, or this old woman has such a strong mentality that she hasn't revealed a single flaw.
Finally, the two found Hu Ziqiang, who had just returned from the fields.
Hu Ziqiang took his daughter to his private plot of land.
The couple quietly scattered half a handful of melon and watermelon seeds in the cornfield.
He and his daughter picked out the ripe melons and watermelons, taking about seven or eight and putting them in a basket.
The snack is incredibly delicious; it tastes much better than the melons you buy in the city.
Naturally ripened fruits not only taste better, but also have just the right amount of sweetness.
On the way back, she was carrying a half-eaten melon and eating it as she walked, her cheeks covered in juice and melon seeds.
Old policeman Feng Jinguo watched the happy scene between Hu Ziqiang and his daughter. The little girl was dressed elegantly and had a longevity lock around her neck.
His doubts deepened.
Turning around, I saw the house piled high with a dazzling array of gifts.
This swindler has managed to cheat people out of a lot of things.
You should know that your family's happy life is built on the suffering of others.
When Lu Yingniang saw her husband and daughter return, she went forward, took the basket, and handed a melon to the two policemen.
"Try the melons you grew yourself."
Feng Jinguo shook his head and refused.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance.
As everyone looked over, they saw a group of villagers surrounding a young man as he walked briskly towards them.
The man looked anxious and shouted as soon as he saw Lu Yingniang:
"Aunt Yingniang, please tell my fortune. My younger sister, Xiaocui, went to visit a classmate at Dahou Bridge yesterday and didn't come back all night."
I searched for her half the night before. Her classmate said she didn't come yesterday and no one knows where she is now.
I had a nightmare this morning and I'm really panicking. Can you tell me where my sister is?
Lu Yingniang frowned slightly, about to speak, but Feng Jinguo spoke first:
"Leave this to the police; don't engage in feudal superstition."
Lu Aijun ignored everything and knelt down in front of Lu Yingniang with a thud.
Lu Yingniang looked at the police helplessly, as if to say that this was not something she had provoked.
The young policeman looked furious and angrily grabbed Lu Aijun, who was lying on the ground.
"Get up and tell the police right now."
Lu Aijun shoved him away, tilted his head back, and cursed:
Are you crazy?! Get out of here!
After cursing, he quickly grabbed Lu Yingniang's leg and begged:
"Auntie---!"
"Get up first. Do you have any of Xiao Cui's personal belongings?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Lu Aijun was already prepared. He pulled his sister's red hair clip from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yingniang.
The young police officer took out a pen and notebook and urged the man to tell them the details.
The old policeman stared intently at Lu Yingniang, watching her every move.
This wasn't the first time Lu Yingniang had used "borrowing objects to find people." As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
She deftly counted the incantations and silently recited the mantra. Then she closed her eyes and saw 16-year-old Lu Aicui sitting on the bed with her hands and feet tied and her face covered in tears.
A corner of a desk was visible to the side, with a junior high school textbook placed diagonally on it.
When she tried to take a closer look, her eyes started to hurt again. She quickly opened them, took a breath, and said:
Xiao Cui was bound hand and foot on the bed, next to a desk.
There's a junior high school textbook on there, Aijun, think about it carefully..."
Lu Aijun first widened his eyes, his face full of anger, then gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
He thought quickly for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed:
"I know who it is! That beast, unworthy of being a teacher..."
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Lu Yingniang and shouted:
"Auntie, I need to go save my sister first. I'll thank you later!"
After he finished speaking, he got up and ran outside.
"Hey! Wait."
Lu Yingniang hurriedly got off the chair, and before she could call him, she shouted to the villagers in the courtyard:
"You guys go with Aijun, don't get taken advantage of!"
The two policemen exchanged a glance, and after realizing what was happening, they hurriedly gave chase.
Before leaving, he pointed at Lu Yingniang's nose and cursed:
"You old woman, you're ruining people!"
You casually remarked that you had accurately predicted someone's fate.
What if Lu Aijun contacts the wrong person and it results in someone's death?
Lu Yingniang, you old woman, you can't escape, and neither can those two policemen.
They all have to take responsibility.
