Chapter 373 The People of the Year 3
Before I even came out of Baihugou, I received a call from Ye Yang: "Li Po, I dug up the grave of old man Sun Ting."
"The corpse in the grave is missing a piece of human skin, and the skin on his back has been peeled off."
"Also, there are bone maggots in the old man's grave..."
Ye Yang roughly told what happened over there, but my face darkened. After I put down the phone, I said to myself: "Has the person who wants revenge also been reincarnated? That shouldn't be the case!"
Zhao Yuezhu asked curiously: "Li Po, what are you talking about?"
I said: "Bone-transforming maggots were found in Old Man Sun's grave. This shows that the Sun family wants to use the poisonous worms to peel off the human skin completely."
I pointed to my eyes: "If the bone maggots are inserted into the human body from the eyes, the person will become a human skin with no gaps except nine holes."
"The Sun family is the one who peels the skin. But what about the Sun family's tattoos?"
Zhao Yuezhu said: "Have you never thought that the Sun family also knows that you are the murderer?"
"Huh?" I suddenly turned my head to look at Zhao Yuezhu: "What did you say?"
Zhao Yuezhu was startled by me: "I mean, what if... what if Sun Ting knew that he was the murderer who killed and buried the body?"
"That's right!" I couldn't help but stamp my feet: "I made the road narrow!"
I said again: "All my inferences at the beginning were based on the fact that there are no loopholes in the iron laws of the underworld. Why didn't I think that someone could use the secret method of reincarnation?"
I simply sat down and said, "Let me rethink my thoughts. Can you help me think about whether there are any loopholes?"
I said:
At first, I thought that the murderer who committed the skinning case was reincarnated as a human being, and the souls of those who were skinned by them were waiting for him somewhere, looking for him to avenge his previous life.
This is a kind of habitual thinking of warlocks. It is not unusual for ghosts to wait somewhere for tens or even hundreds of years.
Moreover, if the cause and effect is not resolved, the ghost's enemies in the previous life may very well return to the place where they first made enemies under the pull of cause and effect.
This is the reason why in the story Sun Ting told, his grandfather repeatedly said that he was involved in disaster.
I am sure that when Sun Ting told us the story, he told part of the truth. Because we are all magicians, and if he made up the whole story, he would not be able to deceive us at all.
Therefore, I was also drawn into his story. My thoughts have always been stuck on the vendetta between humans and ghosts. But I never thought that in this business, humans are ghosts, and ghosts may also be humans.
What Zhao Yatou said just now reminded me. I should think about everything in reverse.
If Sun Ting was the murderer who skinned and killed people back then, and the ghosts he suppressed in Baihugou back then were the reincarnated people, many doubts would be clear.
Back then, although those victims were full of resentment, their resentment was not irresolvable. For example, Buddhist salvation or suppression by Taoism could resolve their resentment and send them to reincarnation.
Since Zhao Yatou had released them all in her previous life, why couldn't she be a good person and go to the end, resolve their grievances, and send them to the underworld?
If this assumption is true, then the person waiting to kill is not the resentful ghost of the past, but the murderer of the past.
The murderer is Sun Ting!
The earth souls in the underworld will be reincarnated at different times due to their sins during their lifetime. Some earth souls must wait until they have completed their punishment in the underworld before they can be reincarnated, so the more than 100 people who were killed that year will not appear at the same time.
Sixty years ago, Sun Ting waited for the reincarnation of the first batch of victims, so there was another skinning case. The number of people killed this time was far lower than the first time.
Sixty years later, Sun Ting had already waited for the second batch of victims, so he started killing again.
"You mean, Sun Ting lived for one hundred, thirty or forty years?" Zhao Yuezhu realized after asking: "No, you mean, Sun Ting is not a human at all, but an evil creature wearing human skin.
ghost?"
I nodded and said, "That's what I mean!"
Zhao Yuezhu said: "But he has a father and a grandfather!"
"Just because he has relatives doesn't mean he's not a ghost." I waved my hands and said, "The problem should be the coffin tattoo."
"The Sun family may be his disciples and grandsons, or they may be his family. They are using various methods to conceal Sun Ting's identity."
Qin Xin also said: "I think there is something unreasonable about your speculation."
"Since Sun Ting was the murderer of the skinning case, why did he have to stare at the same group of people for skinning? If he just wanted human skin, it shouldn't be difficult to find the target."
"The two skinning cases happened during troubled times, when human lives were like grass and ghosts were rampant. The government didn't even pay attention to any murder cases. Why did he insist on killing the same group of people?"
"One more thing..."
Qin Xin looked at my face and realized that I was not angry before continuing: "How can you conclude that Sun Ting is a ghost? Back then, he had entered the Two Realms Hall! There were so many masters in the Two Realms Hall, and no one could tell it.
