What are the short horror stories?
The Story Archives Bureau has a folk vice in Qingmu, known as the wife. To put it simply, a poor man treats his wife as someone else and gives birth to children. Women are rented out like commodities.
A ghost wife’s story, which is still being heard in our village, may well have been a homicide tragedy caused by a wife. When I was a kid, I heard about it many times, I was a forensic doctor, I was used to it, and I thought it was probably a murder that was so cleverly disguised as a ghost story.
In other words, there is a Zhang family in the west of the village. The man is a businessman who runs the leather business from the mountains to the outside city.
It was difficult for ordinary people to make a living in the midst of war and in the midst of civil strife.
Zhang’s parents died in the early years, and only one wife was married in the family, and there were no children after many years of marriage.
A year and a half, Zhang returned with a mule truck. When snow was sent down in the sky, and the wilds were clouded, and the mountains were dyed, and the heavens and the earth were white.
The mule car was carrying old Chang, moving slowly along the country’s small road, and as it passed through a hill, it appeared that it had run over a rock and was stuck to death.
Zhang’s heart is in a hurry, and the snow is so heavy that if we delay the trip, we’ll be in the open.
The old Zhang got out of the car and saw the car fall into the snow, and he pulled the snow out of the snow, to the end without a stone, and saw a pale hand holding the wheel.
Zhang is also a far-flung, knowledgeable person who sees this hand and does not panic in his heart.
He followed the hand to clean up the surrounding snow, under which the body of a young woman was found. The woman has a beautiful face, a geld skin and a radiant white.
Surely it was this woman who passed through the land and swooped into the snow, and became hungry, and died.
The old Zhang said, “The girl’s heart is in the dark. I will not expose her to the wilderness, so let her go.” I’m sorry.
And when the sound of the word fell, it was only the pale hand of the wheel, and it was loosed.
Zhang carried the woman’s body on a mule truck and returned home in the morning.
The wife had already appeared, and Zhang had informed her of the encounter with the woman, so that she could prepare the wine and meat and then sacrifice it. She brought her own tools to the rear of the hill, looking for a giraffe to bury her.
The wife came back with wine and found that the color of the woman’s face had gradually changed from white to red, that there was some heat in her chest, that there was a slight fanning in her nose, and that the air was wiping.
The wife is also a man of good will. She came back to life while she was busy pouring hot soup and looking after her.
The woman said to herself that she was from a certain village in a certain county, a village known as Guiying, 20 years ago, when she abandoned her parents, she left her family, lost her way to the wilderness and was saved.
Gui Ying has been living in Zhang’s house since then, without meaning to return. Gui Ying is a farmer, has a family, and the Zhang family is a new man. She’s unsatisfied. She smiles first, nobody gets upset. And she’s so fresh and euphemistic, she can’t hide it.
In the eyes of the master, he was happy, and Na Guiying was a concubine.
The concubine, the wife, refused. She and her husband have great affections, and the talent of Gui Ying is not comparable to that of a woman in her country. If she is concubine, her love will never last.
But the husband had decided so, and she was not afraid. Many years after the wife was married, she did not make up her family, and she did not oppose it, but she was always angry with Guiying.
Neither was Guiying grateful, nor did Guiying love old Zhang, nor was she pleased with the concubine.
At this point, Zhang hesitated, fearing that Gui Ying would be the daughter of a large family, the concubine would not be able to bear the dowry alone.
Guiying doesn’t even want a bride price, and he doesn’t tell his parents, so he’s married. The old Zhang had a bad feeling, but the days were long and he accepted them.
The following spring, Gui Ying’s abdomen rose to microflick, and after the medical treatment was extended, there was a welcome development. She was also treated by her husband and was pregnant. What a pleasure.
Both pregnant and domestic chores are handled by Guiying alone. The wife is well-established and is in the care of Gui Ying.
It’s been a year since winter and it’s still snowing. Gui Ying and Fat Chai are coming in soon.
Guiying got up early in the morning and went out to fetch water with a big belly, and there was a well to the west of the village, not far from the old Zhang family.
In those years, women in the countryside were not as expensive as they are now, and pregnant women suffered sudden abdominal pain during their labour, giving birth locally, and not in a few.
Gui Ying Ting is trying to get out of the house, but discovering that Fir’s wife has arrived at the door, in a dark tunnel: “How about I lift the water with my sister today in the snow, when the road is cold and the sister is heavy? I’m sorry.
What happened that morning was unknown to no one, except a few early risers in the countryside who witnessed: In the snow, the footprints from Zhang’s home to the wellhead are two; when they return, the footprints from Zhang’s home are one.
That same night, the wife gave birth to a male baby, because it was born between winter and that day, and it was named Winter.
Since then, no one has seen Guiying.
Nor did the villagers ask her, as if the man had never existed, but the only thing that changed was that the villagers preferred to go a long way and no more fetching water in the well in the west of the village.
It’s been another year, and it’s winter, and it’s the sun and the sun.
In the west of the village, there is a barley field, and the gold-coloured high ground is piled in the middle, and the village women are in the middle of the barbed-wire for the sun, or for needles or nothing.
This day, the boy child reaches the first year of his life, and his wife takes a small stool and takes a good time at the bar.
A one-year-old child has spoken in his teeth and has given a wife to make a winter journey.
Wolf! Wolf! @Ambassah: #Jan25 #Jan25
And when they were laughing, their wives cried out, and they fell on the ground in winter. She looks terrible! It is not yet within the reach of the rescue, and the wife quickly picked up the boy and dumped him in the well not far west of the village.
After that, he went crazy, cried at night and cried out, “A ghost! A ghost!”
A good family has been destroyed, and the young concubine is suddenly missing, and his hard-won son has been thrown to death by his own mother, and his wife has gone mad for no reason!
It is of the utmost urgency that the old Zhang should not lose his son, and that the surviving wife should return to normality.
A few days later, the village came to visit a master. The man was not a monk, wearing a monk’s garment, wearing a dojo crown, with his left hand in his right hand and with dust on his right hand. Bring a student who is deaf and dumb and demented. Proclaimed, near U.S., indistinguishable. Self-proclaimed: the sun can settle a case and the vagina can exorcise a demon.
“Master Zhang Bai-chul is a man who is crazy and afraid of ghosts, and who hopes that he will lift up his hand and exorcise my beloved wife.” I’m sorry.
The master had to say, “If you want to get rid of a ghost, if you want to do so, you will have to do it.”
Zhang: Zhang Chiu promised. I’m sorry.
A few days later, the village hall.
As you sit on both sides, Zhang and his wife kneel before the court, the mad devils of many days have tortured her to death.
When the master was on his feet, when he was on his way to the front door, he was so angry, his eyes were upside down, he drank, and he said, “I owe you money!” Kill and kill! It’s all the time! Women! Know your sins!
“The murder of your concubine is known! Tell me the truth! I’m sorry.
The wife was paralyzed and scared to death. The master, the deaf-mute-demented student, burned a talisman, sprayed it on his wife’s face and woke up.
What happened last winter to that day?
“At the end of the winter, I saw Gui Ying go out to fetch water, because she was pregnant and heavy, and she went out alone, in case something happened, and I said to Gui Ying, “How about I lift water with my sister today in the snow, when it’s cold, my sister’s body is heavy, and one person is afraid of being in trouble?”
“Cuiying is silent, noding is promised. We two pregnant women walk in the snow.
“When we went to the village’s western well, Gui Ying suddenly sat on the edge of the well, and the sun was not bright enough, and I saw her with her back to me, with her long hair and her waist, with a little comb to comb her head slowly, and her mouth was sung with a squealing sound that did not understand.
“She cried out to me, squeezing a fine tune: Sister! Do I look beautiful?
“She turned her head and looked at me, and I saw her eyes, ears and nostrils covered with tiny silver needles, two blood columns coming out of her eyes, and blood stains on both sides.
“She smiled at me, one mouth, and all the stitches of her teeth were filled with silver needles, and black blood spilled out of her mouth. She laughs and laughs, and she can’t tell.
“And I was corroborated on the earth, unable to speak.
And then Gui Ying crawled to the well, and said to me: Sister! I can’t leave you!
“Then she jumped into the well herself.
“I was so scared that I went back home, and I moved, and that night I gave birth to my son until winter…”
After his wife’s speech, he didn’t wait for the master to speak.
“I killed my wife. I’m responsible for all the weird things!” I’m sorry.
Zhang took the winter of the previous year, went down the hill, how the wheel was captured by ghosts, and how he brought the dead woman home to tell everyone.
This process is known to wives, but Zhang conceals some of the truth.
On that day, when the body of the woman was excavated from the snow in the hills, the Zhang became debauchery. When Zhang came back from the mountain and learned that his wife had saved her body, he was so excited that he had the intention to take her…
After hearing the statements of two men, the master said to his wife: “The concubine will not be seen.” How do you explain this winter when you fall in public? I’m sorry.
When I heard the words of my father and my son, my wife cried and said, “This winter, the sun is bright and the sun is burning, and I think of the ghosts, and I will not show up in the middle of the day.” So I took him out for the sun.
“My son has only reached the age of one year, and he has spoken his tongue, and I have made the winter a mother, and the winter has always been a mispronounced and made people laugh.
“As people laugh, I find that the face of winter is like a smile, and it looks at me in the shadows, and it’s so familiar and it doesn’t remember who it is, but it’s definitely not the look that a child of one year should have.
“I suddenly thought, this is Guiying’s look.
Then, when winter came to me suddenly, he whispered to me: Sister! I miss you so much!
“and that fine tone, every word is clear!
Ghost! Ghost! She’s back! I’m sorry.
When the masters had closed their eyes, as the old monks had entered into it, they began to say, “This is an old matter. It’s a day and a day! So she stayed in love with the world of the sun and refused to go to the vagina, so she grabbed your mule car with her hands. Zhang, you made her look good, she made her feel guilty, so she became a ghost and you took her home. You know that the ghosts of the shadows should not have been in the world of the sun, but you desire beauty, and she is a concubine and a wife, and you turn away from the heavens for days, and you drive your wife crazy and your son to death.
“O Zhang! Thus did you do wrong, and the way of poverty has been counted, and you shall be given a life of ten years.” I’m sorry.
Zhang Zhang Zheng Zao: “The little man is willing to be punished.” I’m sorry.
Maestro, “It’s clear, it’s all right. Your wife is the most innocent, and the poor will exorcise her. I’m sorry.
Zhang: How to drive the ghost? I’m sorry.
The master said, “The spirit of Guiying is the one that made your wife mad, and she is attached to the world of the sun because she will not leave. As long as the poor man is buried in Guiying’s grave and she goes overboard, your wife will be fine. The poor need Guiying’s bones. I’m sorry.
If Guiying’s bones are to be found, they have to jump into the well and find them with their hands. It’s a dangerous ghost. Don’t talk about digging for bodies in a well.
Zhang: Master! You’re too scared to do that! I’m sorry.
Maestro, “Don’t go down there, poor people have a plan.” I’m sorry.
A few days later at noon, the sun shines, and it’s the brightest day of the day. The village ‘ s western well is surrounded by a large number of popular villagers, who want to know how the masters can get bodies from the wells.
The master just sits dead, shuts his eyes and speaks. Then he struck with the dust, and made a bright sound, and said, “The time has come.” I’m sorry.
Only the deaf-deaf student who was next to him, grabbed the rope and jumped into the well.
The master gathered the villagers and explained to them, “The man is deaf and dumb, and six are clean and empty. No vision, no eyes, no nose, no tongue, no fragrance, no fragrance, no evil, no evil.
“The ghost’s bones are vicious, and if they are touched, they rot his heart, eat his stomach, hurt his liver, and break his lungs. Though Hua Qi is alive and flat Qi is reborn, he cannot be treated.
“You’re a fool, so you don’t break the law.
One fragrance is halfway through the day, and it is about to run out. It was only then that the demented student climbed out of the well, bare-handed, with bitter faces, neared the master, pedaled his hand to the master, and his eyebrow grew heavy.
If you’re done with the demented, ask the master carefully.
The master Shifu said: “The pedigrees are in the wells and have not seen any bones. I’m sorry.
It’s a big shock to everyone! There are two bones in the well, one Guiying and the other winter. There are no bones in the wells. Guiying Ben is a ghost. There are no bones.
The master went on to say, “I didn’t know that the path was so deep, that it was no longer dependent on the bones, and there were no bones, and it was difficult to drive away the ghosts. I’m sorry.
Zhang asks, “How is this good?” I’m sorry.
Maestro says, “There is no need to exorcise a ghost without bones, but there is some trouble in finding Guiying’s blood relatives, such as her parents’ brothers and sisters, and taking things from them, such as hair nails, as I do. I’m sorry.
The old man’s face was incongruous: “I dared not lie to the master, but I and Gui Ying became close to him because I was stingy and didn’t know about him. We were married in private.” I’m sorry.
Master, do you know where Guiying’s family lives, and whose parents’ names are they? I’m sorry.
Lao Zhang: Gui Ying says to herself that she is a village of a certain county and that her father has a certain name. I’m sorry.
Maestro, “You too! So let the poor go to Guiying’s house for you. For the long journey, we leave now, seven days later at noon, and I will return. I’m sorry.
Seven days later at noon, the weather is clear, the wind is smooth.
The villagers had seen the two students at the western entrance of the village as soon as possible. Zhang and the villagers are on their way.
And the master, the servant of dust and dust, found a stone, sitting on it, and drank of the water, and he was ashamed: “The evil spirit, the heavy of grief, was never seen by the poor.” I’m sorry.
What happened to the master outside?
The master finally found Gui Ying’s home, according to his address, and Gui Ying’s parents received him.
The master explained to them, and listened to the master’s account. Guiying’s father was in shock, saying, “I did not have a daughter named Guiying, but I am not yet 30 years old. How can I have a daughter?” I’m sorry.
The master also saw the confusion, the Zhang met Guiying in the middle of the snow, how Guiying fell in the winter and the sun, and when the well fell, all his eyes were pierced with silver needles.
When the master spoke of silver needles, she was suddenly interrupted by Guiying’s mother, who was shivering and speaking clearly!
Big Master! Please… did Zhang meet a ghost in a hill? I’m sorry.
“Yes, it is. I’m sorry.
“Is it the winter day?” I’m sorry.
“Yes. I’m sorry.
“Does a ghost have silver needles in her ears and nose? I’m sorry.
“Yes. I’m sorry.
Gui Ying’s mother screamed and tried to pass out.
“It’s all my fault! I killed the child, not only in his ears and nose, but also in his hands and his feet, his tongue, and the door full of silver needles.”
Here, Gui Ying’s father understood.
“Four years ago, my wife gave birth to another girl on the winter day, before she had given birth to three girls. I’m not good enough to be good So We and our wife took her on that day with a silver needle and threw her into a hill. I’m sorry.
While Gui Ying’s father did not say everything, the master understood at this time that the abuse of a girl’s baby was something he heard.
According to popular superstition, a woman who has a daughter is born with the spirit that gives birth to the woman. If a woman keeps having a daughter and does not want to have a daughter again, the baby girl will be tortured to death in an extremely cruel manner, then exposed to the wilderness and fed by wild dogs.
In this way, the next child is about to give birth to her daughter, who is afraid that she will be tortured and killed, so that she will not be born again.
Because the girl child is abused or is abused by her own biological parents, the parents are extremely angry and, in order to prevent the girl child from reoccupying, use silver needles to seal all the feelings of the baby ‘ s eyes, nose and nose so that she may never be born.
Zhang met Gui Ying, the girl who was tortured four years ago in the winter to the day.
The master should not stay long, and the master will be forced to leave.
It’s even more impossible to ask for their hair to drive away the ghost, because the ghost most hates her parents, who are blood relatives for Guiying!
And the master, in the midst of the villagers, said what he had seen and heard, and everyone was bragging.
The old Zhang lamented: “Cui-young said he abandoned his parents, and I thought she and her parents were dissatisfied.
Maestro says, “What’s Guiying? When she was born, she was killed by her parents. She says her name is Guiying, but she’s a ghost baby! I’m sorry.
Zhang hears the word “ghost baby” and feels cold in his back and wonders: “Ghost baby! Ghost baby! Is winter coming to him too? I’m sorry.
Maestro, this is exactly what I meant! Zhang, have you ever wondered why your wife was pregnant after you had been married for years? Do you ever wonder why last winter, when a ghost fell, was the time when a boy was born? Do you think that the poor pilgrims who went down that day to search for bones, not only did the females have no bones, but not even in winter. I’m sorry.
Zhang has understood, bowing down and weeping.
Master, “Gui Ying is a ghost baby, and last winter, when Gui Ying was put into a well, he was attached to your wife and became your child until you were born.” Gui Ying is not a human being. You’ve got no son. Your wife’s pregnant and she’s a ghost! I’m sorry.
Maestro: “But the ghost is so miserable that Leyang was tortured and killed by her parents, and she was sealed by her parents. Homeless, homeless, abandoned by parents, bullied by wild dogs.
“You’re the only one who loves her, and that’s why she was the first to love you, the first to be a beautiful woman to be your concubine, then to be a child of your wife, and now to be attached to your wife. I’m sorry.
Zhang is silent.
Maestro, “There is no way for a ghost to leave her in the world of the sun, even if she is miserable.” The ghost’s bitterness will not only harm your wife, but also enrage others and harm your neighbours. I’m sorry.
The people agreed with each other, saying, “It is true that, although the world is miserable, no one can harm her neighbour. I’m sorry.
People said, “How can we drive a ghost without bones and blood? I’m sorry.
Maestro says, “Now there’s no way to exorcise a ghost, there’s nothing but a town ghost!” I’m sorry.
A few months later, on the water well in the west of the village, the villagers raised funds to build a 13-storey Rufus tower.
According to the master: “The devils who cannot be driven away are only the ones who use the town of Buddha to keep them alive forever, and never return.”
The Japanese army then invaded China, and this small village became, unfortunately, a battleground in which all the villagers fled, including the Zhang family, and then the village was completely abandoned.
This is the end of the story.
I’ve heard this story many times since I was a kid. After being a forensic doctor, it may be for professional reasons, and I usually prefer to think about a lot of things by way of thinking.
It’s not as simple as it looks.
This ghost story! It’s probably a murder that cleverly disguised as a ghost story.
The story occurred in the country, not far from now, in Grandma’s village, and many villagers saw it with their own eyes, so I think many of the stories in this story are true and reliable.
So what’s reliable?
This relates to the principle of evidence-gathering.
Criminal cases are now being handled by the public security organs as part of the process of gathering evidence, which is supported by physical evidence, witness statements, survey and identification.
We have several principles for gathering evidence: it is usually objective evidence that is greater than subjective evidence; it is not.
What does that mean?
By way of example, Wang Xiaoming killed him, he had blood on his body and his blood prints on the scene. This is objective evidence, which is more credible than subjective evidence such as witness statements.
Are these subjective evidence useless? Of course not, subjective evidence needs to be mutually corroborated.
For example, when Zhang San looks at Wang Xiaoming in one way or another, Li sees Wang Xiaoming in another way and Wang Zhao Six in another way, and their accounts prove each other, the evidence is credible.
If only Zhang San had seen Wang Xiaoming kill and no one else had confirmed it, then the subjective evidence would be implausible and self-evident.
Let’s use the self-evident principle to comb this ghost story and see what we can find.
Let me summarize this ghost story: a baby girl is abused and abandoned by her parents, and then she’s turned into a beautiful girl who meets Zhang, who cares about the girl, who’s a concubine. The ghost killed Zhang’s son and tortured his crazy wife. The ghost was finally suppressed by the Master of the Sky.
This story warns you not to be distracted and the wild flowers by the roadside.
First year old Chang brought back a woman.
That’s the truth. A lot of people saw it. How did this woman get here? Or steal it? We don’t know. Women’s origins are what Chang always says. They’re isolated.
This woman can do pretty well, and old Zhang Na is the concubine.
This can be witnessed by villagers.
Gui Ying is pregnant.
This evidence is questionable. Because they’re pregnant by the doctor alone, alone.
But Gui Ying’s pregnancy is much more credible than her wife. As Gui Ying also worked outside the workplace after she became pregnant, and her abdomen rose after her pregnancy, the villagers saw her more frequently than they could easily fake. When a woman becomes pregnant, she becomes more visible to the outside world. Having a wife pregnant is an orphan.
Why is she pregnant? Isn’t it suspicious?
Gui Ying disappeared between winter and winter the following year.
This evidence is generally credible. Gui Ying ‘ s disappearance is credible, as the villagers have never seen her again.
And one key piece of evidence was witnessed: The footprints from the old Zhang family to the wellhead are two lines, from the wellhead to the old Zhang family.
There is also one evidence that cannot be forged and that villagers will no longer drink water from the village ‘ s western well.
Taken together, these two evidences can be inferred from the fact that someone crashed and that this person is likely to be the missing Gui Ying.
A boy was added to Zhang’s house in winter.
Why didn’t you say your wife had a baby boy? Without proof, her pregnancy is suspicious, let alone having children. So where did the baby boy come from? Doubt.
In the third winter and day of the year, the wife of the deceased fell and died and was thrown into a well.
It is true that many people witnessed the death of a male child by the wife of the child and her entry into the well.
The wife is crazy.
This evidence cannot be proved. Even if everyone had witnessed her go crazy, that did not mean that she was crazy, or that she could be acting crazy. Nor can you deny that she is crazy. Doubt.
The master judge the husband and wife in the courtyard.
The trial was a genuine and credible process; however, it was not credible that the author’s wife said that she saw Gui Ying at the well and that the boy had no credibility in speaking to her.
The master apprentices took bodies in the wells.
The recovery process was reliable, but the results were unreliable, and the absence of bodies in the wells was also confirmed by the apprentices. Not credible.
Maestro went to Gui Ying’s place of origin.
The story of the master who went to Guiying’s house was written by himself, and no one could prove it.
The village ‘ s western well was filled and a tower was built on it.
Credible, true.
When we finish this story, we remove the unreliable evidence and see what we got:
Zhang brought back a woman named Guiying a year in winter. Gui Ying is pretty and capable. She was a concubine, and she became pregnant the following year, when she disappeared from the winter to Guiying, most likely to be killed. On the same day, a boy was born in the Zhang family home. In the third winter, the wife fell in public and killed the boy. The wife is suspected to be insane. The master concluded that the wife had gone mad and finally built a tower.
When we comb it, it’s easy to find the problem: it’s a homicide.
There are two victims in the story: one is Guiying and the other is a boy.
Their killers are probably all wives, and in ghost stories, wives are the greatest victims, and the wives are not punished in any way.
It’s the same thing to pay back money and kill people. The case occurred in the territory of the Republic, not to mention the Republic, and even if it was clear, there would be no complete impunity for killing a person.
Isn’t that strange?
Now that we’ve discovered what’s hidden in the story, can we restore the truth about this murder?
It may not be easy because the ages are too long and the conditions are too limited to see only the claws from the ghost stories that flow. I tried to analyse the case back, but it was always too little evidence to be consistent.
Until the previous time, I occasionally saw an article about the wife. The last few pieces of the puzzle that were missing in this case were fully fixed.
I’ll start by saying what’s a wife. A wife is a common custom in the Qingmin nation. To put it simply, the poor man treats his wife like someone else and gives birth to children. Women are rented out like commodities. The novel of the writer, ” For the Mother of Slaves ” , is a vice of wifehood.
When I learned about “the wife” and the comb before, I found out that the hidden murder was probably like this:
Zhang and Zhang have had no children for many years after their marriage, and have been disobedient for three years. The old Zhang’s family was well established, and he thought of having a son for himself by means of his wife.
It is feared that the wife may be reluctant, as can be seen from the story, that the husband and wife have a good relationship and that she is a strong woman in the later act of the wife.
The first is that no woman is willing to let another woman share in her husband; the second is that the child born of the wife is not her own, and that when the child knows his or her life, the child will inevitably have a mustard in his or her heart, fearing that the child will grow up to be unfaithful to herself.
In order to avoid such fear, Zhang and his wife developed a plan:
First, a bride enters the family as a concubine, but a wife is only a means of giving birth to a child and has less status than a concubine.
Secondly, the wife is pregnant at the same time as the wife, of course the wife is pregnant and the wife is pregnant. After the birth of the child, the wife declared the child to be the birth of the wife. A wife is a tool, and a child born of her pregnancy is forced to resort to abortion or premature death.
In this way, the children of the wife become their own.
So Gui Ying went to Chang’s house as planned. But there was an accident. That’s how pretty Gui Ying can do it, and it’s so old-fashioned, and it’s getting worse.
Gui Ying became pregnant at the same time as his wife. Of course, Gui Ying was pregnant, and the wife was pregnant under false pretences, so she was left to hide.
As the beloved Gui Ying becomes more and more flattered, Chang even has the real idea of keeping Gui Ying as his concubine, something that he is determined not to tolerate. But she can’t show it now, because her and Zhang’s core interest is that of the children in Gui Ying’s womb, and all the grievances must be put to rest until the child is born.
In the winter and early of the following year, Gui Ying’s son, who had successfully given birth to a boy, and whose wife had been married for many days, had finally erupted and, at the mercy of extreme hatred, had been lured to the well to kill him.
As we can see, the killing was extremely impulsive and unwise, and the methods of killing were very low, leaving much clear evidence.
First, there are two tracks of killing in the snow, from the old Zhang’s home to the wellhead, from the wellhead to the old Zhang’s house, and it is clear that someone disappeared at the wellhead.
Secondly, it is likely that witnesses were encountered. Eyewitnesses may not have seen the act of wife-in-law pushing Guiying into the well, which was in fact an instant and witnessed as a small probability event.
But there is also a distance from the old Zhang home to the well, where they walk in the snow very slowly, and the chances of this process being witnessed are high. In combination with the footprints on the snow, there were two men who went back alone and who, after simple reasoning, knew that someone had been killed.
This can also be seen in the subsequent behaviour of the villagers, who preferred to go a long way away from using the water in the wells because they knew there was a dead man in the wells.
It is clear that the obstinate and low-level homicide is probably unknown, as it could not have been his work, given his later IQ.
And all the stories that have happened to Chang since then prove that Chang is paying for this shitty killing of his wife.
With Guiying’s death, the wife became sober. She is also deeply aware of the seriousness of this matter.
You owe me money! It has always been the same since time immemorial, and only because of the instability of the war, the killing of Guiying is known to all, and once the situation stabilizes, it will end in death.
So after the killing of Guiying, the wife spent every day in extreme panic.
I analyze her for four reasons of panic.
First, fear of prosecution by the wife’s family. This is the easiest solution, and the family that sells its wives is bound to be extremely poor and can be appeased with more money.
Two, fear the villagers to report. In fact, it is not necessary for the villagers to report the murder of the wife.
Three, fear of the Ghost of Guiying. People are superstitious, they do bad things, they’re afraid of ghosts knocking.
Fourth, the villagers are likely to have guessed that the male baby is not the child of the wife, after all, that the man in the treatment is the one who knows and that their mouths cannot be completely harsh.
What would a male child do when he grew up knowing that his own mother had been killed by his wife?
The boy who gave up his wife is the enemy of the future.
I think that’s the last thing she’s worried about.
The wife had been tortured for a year without interruption and was likely to be mentally abnormal.
By the third year of winter. Having seen the midday sun, she felt the sun was strong and the demons would not show up, so she took the boy to the sun. From the fact that she chose to be moderately positive, she had always had great fear.
Among the villagers, the baby boy was made to be called “Mother!” The baby boy was called “Wolf”.
It’s not standard to pronounce. The villagers listen to nothing.
But I’m afraid that’s not true, because there’s always great fear in her heart.
What’s a wolf? Wolves want to eat people. Did you know I killed his mother?
With such strong psychological hints, the more afraid she became, she eventually went mad in front of the villagers and publicly fell to death.
Imagine: If a boy’s baby is really a married child, which mother in the world would have to die of her own son?
If there is some doubt as to whether Guiying was killed for the first time by her wife, this time she fell to death in public and the killing was a real hammer.
This has put her in a very bad position. It can be assumed from the circumstances of the Master ‘ s subsequent interrogation of her in the courtyard that she has probably already provoked public outrage. It is also likely that the village chief has begun to study options for dealing with the delivery of wives, knowing that in the rural areas of the country where the Government has been temporarily absent, Zong Zheng can decide the fate of a person.
In the face of this imminent crisis, the wife is acting crazy, and of course she is.
Zhang is undoubtedly the most anxious at this time, when concubines die and only children die, and now wives are threatened with death.
What do we do? That’s how you let your wife die? Despite the repeated mistakes of the wife, the couple was emotional. He had to find a way to help the wife out of this crisis.
After careful consideration, Zhang had come up with an excellent way to help exonerate his wife.
A few days later, Chang found a master who seemed particularly unprofessional and even somewhat unmainstreamed in his clothes.
But maestro is not really a maestro, it doesn’t matter, because he just needs to be a good actor who can match the old scene.
Zhang has developed a plan that requires four people to accompany the show, Zhang, his wife, master and apprentice.
How does it work?
In fact, the idea at the center is simple: to pay back the debt! Murder for death! Everyone knows that, and everyone must abide by it.
But if it’s not a man, what if it’s a ghost? Obviously, killing ghosts doesn’t cost you your life.
All Chang had to do was prove that it was a ghost, not a man.
Okay! The first step of Zhang and Maestro’s operation: the trial of the court.
First, the master must first blow up his skills so that the sun can settle the case and the shadows can drive away the demons. In the heavens and the earth, there is nothing to do, and the first thing to do is to scare people with it.
Secondly, Master Zhang has clearly told him that if he wants to exorcise a ghost, he will have to do so. That’s what the villagers say: We don’t care if you’re crazy about your wife, let’s get this straight. Zhang’s approach was very clever, and he fully understood the villagers’ minds and used the master’s mouth to resolve their doubts.
Thirdly, the case is decided in the courtyard, and the family is invited to sit. The authority of this trial is increased by the prestige of the elders of the tribe, who are tantamount to being exploited without knowledge.
Four, then the performance began, and the first time the wife had told us what had happened by the well from winter to that day. The wife and Gui Ying went to the well together, but Gui Ying showed up at the well, so Gui Ying was a ghost and jumped herself. This explains why there are two tracks to go to the well in the snow and one question to come back.
Five, Zhang took the initiative to speak of previously unknown secrets: That is when Zhang knew that Guiying was a ghost, and he told everyone about the miracle of meeting Guiying in the snow that year, and admitted that he was only greedy, bringing Guiying home and lying to him about his wife.
The fact that Zhang has taken the initiative to admit that he is a good man and that he has spoken out about the strange encounters that were not known to everyone before undoubtedly increases the credibility of his story. It’s a smart move for Chang.
Six, explain why the boy died. Because the male baby was also changed by Gui Ying, it was the ghost, not the man, whose wife fell, and the male baby, who was also an innocent victim, all of whom were ghosted.
Following a collaborative performance by the husband and wife of Zhang and the master, both murders were explained with a plausible explanation and at least one account was given to the villagers.
And the master has finally decided that the greatest responsibility lies with Chang, Zhang’s greed and beauty, and that the devil is no one but a fool and a wife.
It’s a happy and easy ending for ordinary people, and it’s a story everywhere in Chau.
Master Zhang has been sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, and Zhang is willing to be punished. Zhang dared to do it.
Look! Two well-documented murders were turned into a haunted incident, after a sham from the old husband and wife and the master. The crime of giving up a wife has naturally disappeared and has become the biggest victim.
As long as the villagers believed in their statements about the haunted, the crisis would have subsided.
But it’s not over yet. There’s a big hole in Zhang’s explanation for the haunted.
That’s the body in the well.
It is not excluded that a small number of villagers are able to think on their own, and that sane people who find themselves in a state of deep thought.
Master, didn’t you say Guiying is a ghost? If the body of Guiying is recovered in the well and there is no silver needle on it, how do you explain it?
This is indeed a difficult issue, and in order to fill this gap, Chang and Maestro made a second step: the recovery of bodies in wells.
First, the master stressed that the recovery of the body must take place in midday, warning ordinary people that it would be extremely dangerous to touch the body of a woman: it would corrupt the heart, erode its stomach, hurt its liver and damage its lungs. Though Hua Qi is alive and flat Qi is reborn, he cannot be treated. It’s a way to scare off people who have ideas about stealing bodies.
Second, stress the importance of having the master’s apprentice recover. Because the master’s disciples were deaf and dumb, six were clean, so that they would not suffer from the venom. Those who think about the body holes in the well are smart people who think, at least not stupid people, and the master suggests that smart and smart people cannot be saved.
Third, when the master student came out of the well, he told everyone that there was no body in the well. The master’s move is brilliant, and the fact that there are no bones means not only that Gui Ying is a ghost, but also indirectly that the boy is a ghost.
The master organized the search for the bodies, in fact telling the villagers who suspected the old husband and wife of being haunted that the ghost was dangerous and could not easily be found, and telling the villagers that the well had been recovered and nothing had happened.
If you analyze rationally, you’ll find this body recovery more like a show. Because it is not possible to get down to the well to touch the body, it is a year-old body that the apprentice has been whiteized, and it is impossible to get all the bones out of the limbs, even if they touch them, or the clothes of the deceased.
In reality, we’ve also encountered bodies in wells, and we pump water with high-power pumps, and we’ve picked up all the mud from the bottom of the wells, so we can’t guarantee that we can find all the bones.
That is why Old Chang and Maestro did not choose to take the bones out of the well and destroy them, but rather threatened to prevent others from finding them because they knew they were not clean.
Using the active body recovery method, some of the doubts of the villagers remained.
But this is just a way to stop the villagers from recovering, the bodies in the well are still there, the holes are broken or there are still, and is there any way to make up for the real ones?
Of course, that’s the last operation of Chang and Maestro.
See you out there.
The master said he was going to visit Gui Ying’s family. However, upon his return, the master told the villagers that Guiying had been beaten with silver needles by his biological parents, which had indeed deterred people and could be corroborated by the testimony given by his wife in the temple, thus enhancing credibility.
The practice of female infanticide was not uncommon in the civil society at that time, and I am afraid that one or two of the villagers who looked at it at that time were among them. As the villagers are aware, the girl child, who is abused by her parents, is extremely angry and, because her body is sealed, does not return, that is to say, she cannot be reborn and will remain in the village forever, like the plague, so she may not be just an old family, but an entire village.
The master had skilfully turned the ghost into the public enemy of the entire village, which had to be suppressed, and the best way to do so was to build the Buddha Tower.
This was also the case in the White Deer Plain, where Bakachan built a tower on the broken kiln of the tart to keep the ghost alive.
So where’s the Buddha? It was the master’s decision, eventually built on the well west of the village.
The Buddha was built by the people of the village to protect the village, and no one would dare propose to demolish it. And everyone knows that the ruin of the Buddha will be recompensed.
All the evidence in this case was completely destroyed by a series of operations by Chang and Maestro. All the loopholes have been closed.
When the whole case is analysed, we will find out that Chang and Maestro have ably exploited the villagers’ minds and turned this man’s known homicide into a ghost story.
In a sense, Zhang, his wife, masters and apprentices indirectly completed a difficult and perfect crime.
Here, the deep analysis of this ghost story is over.
At this point, there may be other partners to ask, although your analysis of possible hidden homicides behind ghost stories is logical, do you have objective evidence?
You also said in the text that subjective evidence is unreliable, but it’s over 10,000 words in the whole analysis.
There is.
Don’t forget, the Buddha is still in the village!
If my reasoning is correct, there are two remains under the Buddha. It’s been almost a hundred years, but if we dig up the bones and use forensic anthropology, DNA technology, we can turn back the truth.
But now it is impossible to disassemble the tower to ascertain whether my reasoning is correct, because the Buddha in the west of the village is protected by the Department of Antiquities and is a relic. The demolition of the tower is the destruction of the artifacts!
Finally! Thanks for watching this story.
I think the funny thing about this story is that you’re gonna think it’s a ghost story at first, you’re gonna think it’s a reasoning story at the middle, and you’re gonna find it’s a real forensic case.
I don’t know.
Keep your eyes on the road.
