Chapter 14: Using the Tracking Talisman to Find Evidence

~7 min read 1,361 words

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it truly made sense.

After all, it is common knowledge that Shazhu is a Chef at the Rolling Mill, so he certainly cannot avoid dealing with live animals.

Yi Zhonghai, who roughly knew what had happened, also hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over for Zhao Gangzi, comforting the Second Uncle by saying, "Old Liu, I can understand how you feel."

"But we can't just wrong Shazhu, can we? I watched this child grow up; he would absolutely never do such a thing!"

But the Second Uncle was not buying it.

He pointed at the cesspit to the side and cursed, "Understand my ass! If you jump in right now and swim two laps, I won't pursue this any further. You decide!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Uncle's two sons also raised their manure forks and stared at Yi Zhonghai, which directly caused the First Uncle to lose face.

After all, the Second Uncle had been in the Siheyuan for so many years; he must have brains to hold his current position. Even if he couldn't find evidence, it definitely had something to do with Shazhu.

It might even be that this old black dog, Yi Zhonghai, was the one who instigated it!

"You!"

"Sigh, this is simply unreasonable!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his back teeth so hard that the neighbors nearby could even hear the grinding sound.

Xu Damao, who loved to watch the chaos, hid in the crowd and said with a smirk, "Forget it, Shazhu, with those crippled hands of yours, you can still kill a chicken? Besides, didn't the factory give you sick leave?

I think it's eight or nine out of ten that you did it, just confess!"

"Xu Damao, you better keep your mouth shut, does this have anything to do with you? Do you believe I'll beat you, you bastard!"

Shazhu's eyelids twitched wildly. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, this ball-less thing would dare to kick him while he was down. Even though he only had one hand left, it was more than enough to deal with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao wasn't afraid this time. Shazhu wanted to come over and beat him, but his right hand was still being clamped by Zhao Gangzi, so he could only glare.

"Zhao Gangzi, let go of me immediately! Do you know what this behavior is? It's framing and slandering! Pouring dirty water on me, He Yuzhu!"

"Don't think you can do whatever you want in the entire Siheyuan!"

Shazhu was already feeling guilty and just wanted this matter to pass quickly. After all, if Zhao Gangzi really discovered something, it would be disastrous.

"Gangzi, you must help me get revenge!" Seeing this, Liu Haizhong went to hug Zhao Gangzi's thigh.

Looking at the filthy Second Uncle, Zhao Gangzi felt his stomach churn and his urge to defecate vanished. He sidestepped, causing the Second Uncle to fall face-first into the dirt.

Besides, Zhao Gangzi wasn't doing this for Liu Haizhong; he simply couldn't stand Shazhu's behavior.

And he could earn some Hatred Value from Shazhu along the way.

Originally, Shazhu didn't have much hatred toward him, but he had been constantly harassing him these days. The Hatred Value provided by Shazhu alone was already higher than that of Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi had provided Zhao Gangzi with over nine thousand Hatred Value so far, while this blockhead Shazhu was more outstanding, providing a full fifteen thousand.

Converting that, it was equivalent to one hundred and fifty yuan!

If he had the coupons, it would be more than enough to buy a bicycle!

Looking at the stubborn Shazhu, Zhao Gangzi ignored him and quietly opened the System Panel, entering the Mall to see if there were any items he could use to stir up trouble.

The panel now showed nearly thirty thousand Hatred Value, enough to buy most things in the Mall.

"Tracking Talisman,

Can track anything within a ten-kilometer radius,

Price: one thousand Hatred Value!"

Zhao Gangzi gave an evil smile, crushed the Tracking Talisman in his palm, stood in the center of the crowd, and said loudly, "I already know where Shazhu's tools for the crime are!"

"They are right under the head of Shazhu's bed, found in the wooden box there."

"This... this..." Shazhu was already too shocked to speak.

What exactly is this Zhao Gangzi? How could he know such things?

Could it be that he knew I was going to mess with him and has been spying on me the whole time? This is too perverted!

"No, no, don't frame a good person! First Uncle, hurry up and speak for me!" Shazhu had no choice but to seek help from Yi Zhonghai.

But Yi Zhonghai clearly didn't know that Zhao Gangzi had guessed correctly; he thought Shazhu was just feigning weakness to slap Zhao Gangzi's face later, so he followed Shazhu's lead and said:

"Hmph, if it can't be found under the bed, what else do you have to say?"

"Then I will leave the Siheyuan, but what if it is found?" Zhao Gangzi laughed.

"Fine," Yi Zhonghai thought Zhao Gangzi was bluffing, so he continued: "If you really guessed right, I will go down and swim two laps."

The First Uncle pointed at the latrine with a hint of arrogance, clearly not seeing Shazhu winking at him. Liu Haizhong also thought Zhao Gangzi was bluffing; after all, there were no such things as cameras in this day and age, so even if it was Shazhu, how could he know where it was hidden?

"Guangfu, Guangtian, you two go check Shazhu's house!"

Zhao Gangzi signaled directly.

The two brothers didn't like Zhao Gangzi bossing them around, but since the Second Uncle had also spoken up and told them to go check, they dropped their manure forks and ran straight into the main room.

Seeing this, Shazhu panicked and shouted, "No, no! You are trespassing! By what right are you entering our house?"

"We have hundreds of yuan in our house; if it goes missing, it means you stole it!"

Seeing Shazhu acting so convincingly, the First Uncle nodded with satisfaction. Once these people failed to find anything, Zhao Gangzi would have to pack his bags.

And Jia Zhangshi, who lived across the way, pricked up her ears.

Shazhu actually had hundreds of yuan in his house; she would have to find a way to borrow it when Shazhu wasn't home...

Shazhu was jumping around in anxiety, and the Liu brothers were also somewhat hesitant.

As for the neighbors who loved to watch the chaos, they followed into Shazhu's house in a swarm. "Zhuzi, we are all going in together, so don't worry! We definitely won't steal anything from your house!"

"That's right! I want to see if this is really a ghost or if it's man-made!"

"It really is a luxury house in the Siheyuan! It's so damn big, it's a waste for Shazhu to live alone..."

A group of people crowded around Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian as they went in. Even Jia Zhangshi brought the young Daoist Saint along to see if there was anything in Shazhu's house they could borrow.

Not long after, Liu Guangtian ran out holding a wooden box.

Looking at Zhao Gangzi, he said excitedly, "Found it, there really is a box under Shazhu's bed!"

"Brother Gangzi, you are too amazing! You could even know something like this!"

"I told you Gangzi could see things normal people can't!" Second Uncle also scrambled up in one motion and snatched the wooden box away.

Afterwards, in front of everyone, he opened the wooden box directly; the moment it was opened, Shazhu understood he was finished, as Second Uncle would certainly not let him off.

Sure enough, inside the box sat half a bowl of chicken blood that hadn't dried yet, along with a stack of red paper and yellow paper printed with copper coin patterns.

Setting aside the matter of Shazhu plotting against Liu Haizhong, the act of privately hoarding yellow spirit money alone was enough to get someone taken away to sit in jail for a few years!
