Chapter 16: Ink Drums and Curtains Wisdom is unparalleled
There are about 200 suspects in the Zhengping Mansion poisoning case, bustling and squeezing under His Royal Highness, all of them in moldy clothes, described as withered, and their unkempt sideburns have turned gray-white, or brownish-green, showing how long they have been detained.
King Qin Guang sat high on the hall and shouted: "Today, I declare: If this person cracks this case, except for the real murderer, the rest will be sent to a good place, but if you can't solve this case, you will never be reincarnated! This person will also suffer all kinds of punishments in hell and will never be reborn! If you agree, you will immediately hand him over for interrogation." ”
The ghost sentenced His Highness, and all the ghost criminals heard the relationship between the past and the harm, some trembled, some muttered, and some wanted to retreat...... There was a commotion and an uproar.
Suddenly, the strong ghost shouted: "We are already hopeless ghosts, today the Jade Emperor sent an angel to examine the case, and did not torture him to extract a confession, why can't we believe him once, put him to death and come back to life?"
When all the ghost criminals heard this, they thought it was reasonable, and they all seemed to risk their lives, and echoed in unison: "I hope that the angel will try this case." ”
For a time, the crowd was passionate and regarded death as home.
Seeing that he couldn't help but be frightened, King Qin Guang sneered for a while, and said to Qingyin: "Okay! Since all the criminals have agreed, then I want to see how you try this case?"
After that, King Qin Guang instructed the Wei judge beside him: "You go and get the file quickly." ”
"His Royal Highness Qi Qi: This case has been tried more than ten times before and after, and there are more than 2,000 copies of the file, I don't know which year, month, and day to take?" Judge Wei asked tremblingly.
"Foolish things, fetch them all!" King Qin Guang was furious and kicked down Judge Wei, how far did the black gauze hat fall.
Judge Wei crawled to the ground and picked up the black gauze hat, panicking and wanting to leave.
"Wait!" Fang Qing faintly scolded Judge Wei, "I am an angel sent by the Jade Emperor, I knew that it was strange, so I didn't have to be so troublesome." You can go and get some inkstone for me, and prepare a pair of curtains. ”
When Judge Wei heard this, he looked at King Qin Guang with his eyes. King Qin Guang made a look, and Judge Wei tightened his black gauze hat and walked away.
Fang Qingyin had already paid attention to the drum erected by His Royal Highness the Ghost Judgment, so he walked straight to the drum frame and stood still, it turned out that the decoration of the ten halls of the Netherworld Mansion was like the yamen of the Yang Realm, and there were bells and drums on both sides of the hall to show the majesty of the court.
I saw Fang Qingyin squinting his eyes first, shaking his head, scribbling a few words on the drum surface with his fingers, and then turning in a circle around the drum frame, while singing a piece of nonsense in his mouth, just like a Taoist priest fasting and a fairy possessing his body.
After a few turns, Fang Qingyin suddenly stopped and said to the ghosts: "I have drawn a treasure talisman on the drum of rising grievances and chanted the mantra, and the real murderer can be taken down in a moment." ”
After that, Fang Qingyin instructed the four palace guards to carry the drum to the apse.
Fang Qingyin looked like a god under the ghost judgment of His Royal Highness, unfathomable, where did the ghost criminals understand?
Although King Qin Guang knew that he was playing tricks in the name of the Jade Emperor, he was really inexplicable about raising the drum of injustice and taking the inkstone curtain. Guan Yuan was even more foggy and confused.
After a while, Judge Wei came in with an inkstone curtain.
Fang Qingyin beckoned Guan Yuan to come closer, and Fu Er gave an order, and immediately ordered all the inkstone curtains to be brought to the apse.
Guan Yuan was still at a loss, took the inkstone, carried the curtain, and entered through the left door with Judge Wei, went to the apse to arrange properly, and then went back to the ghost judgment hall to pay respects.
After everything was done, Fang Qingyin announced in a solemn manner: "Fang was ordered by the Jade Emperor to come to investigate this case, and he will not use that torture to extract a confession."
Now, everyone entered through the left gate of the Ghost Judgment Hall one by one, obeyed Guan Yuan's instructions, and then came out of the right door of the Ghost Judgment Palace, and returned to the Ghost Judgment Hall to stand up. If you don't call it for two hours, you can not only find the real murderer, but also return your innocence. ”
Although the ghost criminals were confused, they were surprised and delighted when they heard that the real culprit could be found out immediately, and they obeyed the instructions one by one, entered from the left gate of the ghost judgment hall, and acted with Guan Yuan.
Since ancient times, most cases have been tried by severe torture, but how can there be such a trial?
King Qin Guang was puzzled in every way, and when he raised his eyes and saw that Fang Qingyin was calm and relaxed, he couldn't help asking, "Fang Qingyin, can you really find out the murderer like you?"
Fang Qingyin smiled indifferently: "There are countless methods of trying this case, and extorting confessions by torture will often wronged good people, which is really done by the mentally retarded." Without hurting the suspect's skin, you can solve the case, this is wisdom. ”
"Huh...... Good for your 'wisdom', this king wants to see how you solve the case. The corners of King Qin Guang's mouth twitched, very embarrassed.
He said evil in his heart: Let you be honest at this time, and you won't be able to solve the case then, I will let you suffer from hell and never be reborn!
The streamer flew by, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and all the ghost criminals walked out of the right door of the Ghost Judgment Hall one after another, and they all stood under the Ghost Judgment Highness.
King Qin Guang looked at all the ghost criminals with ghostly eyes up and down, left and right, but they all looked indifferent, no different from before, and couldn't help laughing: "Fang Qingyin, you sloppy skin, you dare to play this king! Today, I will make you suffer from the one hundred and thirty-eight hells, and you will not be able to live forever!"
When the demons heard the threat, they were all terrified, some trembled, some wept, and some wept...... In an instant, His Highness was in chaos.
At this time, Guan Yuanye was already standing beside Fang Qingyin, and said abruptly: "Brother, you are too conceited. You see......"
"Hahahaha......" Fang Qingyin was not panicked, but laughed loudly, laughing even more frightened, and they actually stopped crying, and for a while the ghost sentenced His Highness to be quiet and silent.
He said to King Qin Guang: "Don't scare our Qingyin, I'm afraid that if you don't want to! This case has been solved, and the murderer can be caught." ”
"You sloppy, don't talk nonsense! Find out the real culprit, everything will be over, otherwise, immediately hook your tongue, gouge out your eyes, and cut your belly!" King Qin Guang was so angry that he trembled, where can he be patient?
Fang Qingyin laughed again, and said to His Highness's ghosts: "Now, stretch out your hands, unfold your palms, and the murderer will appear immediately." ”
Those ghost criminals have suffered from hell for 500 years, and this time it really seems as if the truth is about to be revealed, so one by one they can't wait to stretch out their hands and spread their palms!
Fang Qingyin ordered Guan Yuan again: "Go and look at their palms, if there is a difference, it is the murderer." ”
Guan Yuan was overjoyed, walked in front of the ghosts, and checked the palms of the ghosts one by one.
King Qin Guang's ghostly eyes were suspicious.
Suddenly, Guan Yuan shouted in ecstasy in the group of ghosts: "Caught! Caught!
The ghosts and criminals were shocked and looked at each other in amazement.
When King Qin Guang heard this, he didn't believe it, and ordered the murderer to come up.
Guan Yuan pulled a thin ghost, pulled away the ghosts, and dragged them to the front of the hall.
King Qin Guang stepped down from the throne and stepped forward to watch, only to see that there was no peculiarity in the upper body and lower body of the thin ghost, and then looked at the palm, compared to his own own, only thin and fat, there was no difference.
"There is nothing strange about this ghost criminal, how can you conclude that he is the murderer?"
Fang Qingyin smiled and said, "You can go and see the hands of those ghost criminals again." ”
King Qin Guang was in urgent need of an answer, so he rushed to the ghosts in three steps and two steps, and observed those outstretched palms, but they were all stained with inkstone, pickled and dirty, but the thin ghost palms were very clean, without a trace of ink.
King Qin Guang suddenly seemed to have an understanding, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said politely: "Mr. Fang is really wise, please give me careful advice." ”
"You don't need Mr. Fang to teach, let me talk about it. "Guan Yuan has already understood the mystery of solving the case, and the other party Qingyin threw himself to the ground," Mr. Fang instructed the villain to first set up a big drum in the apse, paint the drum surface with inkstone, and then cover it with a large curtain, and finally let those suspects go in and touch the drum one by one......"
"What's the use of touching that drum?" King Qin Guang looked puzzled.
"There's a mystery in it. Guan Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Fang has long asked me to announce to those ghost criminals: if the murderer touches the drum surface, he will definitely make a sound." ”
"It's just an ordinary cowhide drum, how can it be so supernatural?" King Qin Guang said disdainfully.
"It's just an ordinary cowhide drum, of course. Fang Qingyin couldn't help but answer, "But this murderer is a thief with a weak heart, and he suspects that Fang Mou was really sent by God, and he has done the true law on that drum, so he looks at it as a divine drum, for fear that as soon as he touches that drum, it will really make a sound." Therefore, when they came to the drapery, and saw that there was no one around, they thought they were wise, and they did not touch the drum, and the drum naturally did not sound.
But how did the murderer know that I had another mystery? Since the other ghost criminals were not murderers, why should they be afraid to touch them, and their hands would naturally be stained with ink; if the murderer did not touch the drum, how could there be ink on his hands? This is the psychological way to solve the case. ”
King Qin Guang heard the details of the case, and was empowered, and threw himself to the ground, that is, he quickly ordered the palace guards to act on the murderer, and confessed to the poisoning of Zhengping Mansion from the beginning to the end.
The murderer is difficult to deny, and he confesses one by one.
After a while, the unjust case of 500 years was solved, and all the unjust souls wept with joy and knocked on their foreheads to thank them.
Two days later, all the unjust souls and more than a dozen ghost criminals in the tongue-pulling hell were reincarnated.
Guan Yuan was deeply impressed, and in order to fulfill his promise, he would not go to reincarnation, and was willing to worship Fang Qingyin as a teacher and serve left and right. Fang Qingyin refused to accept it, but Guan Yuan did not leave, so he had to stay by his side for the time being.
King Qin Guang wanted to play Fang Qingyin for a while, but he lost face, secretly angry and vomited blood, and wanted to rectify Fang Qingyin, so he gave him the case that Yang Shangfa paid a bone, and waited for an opportunity to find fault in the side compartment to take revenge.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qingyin benefited from the volume of "Writing Records of the Past Dynasties", which was really full of investigative methods, and let it be difficult to entangle bizarre cases such as "silver needles running through the top" and "mercury plugging the throat" in the yang realm, but it was only solved in a blink of an eye, and for a while his reputation for judging the case became famous, and it seemed to have the momentum of overshadowing the ten palaces of the king of Hades.
King Qin Guang became more and more resentful, but he was helpless, on the one hand, he talked about affection on the surface, and on the other hand, he secretly tricked up: he sent his henchman King Ming of the first hall to the fifth hall and asked King Senluo to rectify Fang Qingyin.
