Yao Xitong stood in the courtyard with a lantern, and a woman dressed as a "demon" stood not far from him with her hand pinching Xiao Bao'er. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Hearing the nonsense from the mouth of the "evil ghost", he said: "Kill the evil ghost, one of the thirty-six people of the ghost path, fall into the fourteenth layer of hell after death, die in hell in vain, wake up every day and see the moment of suicide, and never stop." ”

Xiao Bao'er could hear Yao Xitong's voice, but what she saw in front of her was the Blood Sea Knife Mountain, where countless suicides were tied to the Knife Mountain, watching the other self commit suicide countless times. She struggled and asked, "Where are we, Fur Jacket, where are the gardens?"

The evil ghost was a little surprised that Xiao Bao'er could still speak, so he only listened to him: "Childe knows a lot, and I hope that Childe will tell the slave family why they are in the fourteenth layer of hell?"

"You said that you are a murderer, why don't you tell me why you committed suicide?"

"Huh...... Hehe......" The demon chuckled again, "If you can't find the answer, this girl will come to the city of the dead to accompany me, maybe she will tell you in a dream why I want to kill myself!"

He Bo and Su Su soon returned to the backyard, and when they saw that Yao Xitong was alone in the courtyard, Su Su asked, "Where is the princess?"

"Taken away by a ghost. ”

Su Su was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where is the magpie?"

Yao Xitong frowned, and said after a while, "Eat first, you can't solve the problem if you're hungry." The haunted house was soon filled with a number of small dishes of all colors and flavors, and he said, "No banquet without wine, Su Su, go to the front yard to find the master and ask for a good bottle of wine." After Su Su was gone, he asked Uncle He, "How is the corpse being found?"

"Master, good at using knives. ”

He Bo is a first-class master, and the person who can be called a master by him should obviously not be an unknown person. Yao Xitong then asked, "So you are not a person on the list of impermanence?"

Impermanence list, blame the martial arts master ranking made by Mei Shiren.

Mei Shiren, hearing that his martial arts are superb, his whereabouts are erratic, and he claims to be the master of the Black and White Pavilion. Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the Black and White Pavilion is working hard, and the impermanence list is buying life. It means that the Black and White Pavilion is an assassination organization, and the price of human lives is clearly marked there, and whoever you want to kill can spend money to buy it; the Impermanence List is a master ranking, and the Black and White Pavilion is unable to kill the top ten people on the list, and as long as the martial arts master is in the top ten of the Impermanence List, it is equivalent to buying a life in the Black and White Pavilion.

The Bun Shop and the Black and White Pavilion are two of the most mysterious organizations on the rivers and lakes.

Yao Xitong has checked Mei Shiren for many years, and the information he found is very limited, and he only knows that the masters who can be called famous in the martial arts are ranked on the impermanence list. If a master can't find information on the Impermanence List, it only means that this person is from the Imperial Court, the Four Tyrants, or the Black and White Pavilion.

He Bo then replied, "There was no such person on the impermanence list last year, and the old slave guessed that he was from the Song Land. ”

"The cause of death?"

"Suffocation. ”

No wonder the principal said that his eyes were round and his face was hideous. ”

"Can Childe guess why this person is suffocating?"

Yao Xitong thought for a moment, put his hand on his neck, and asked, "Did I guess right?"

He Bo gave a thumbs up and praised, "Childe is smart, this man also died by suicide, he choked his neck so that his hyoid bone broke and blocked his breathing." The old slave thought that he had killed him, but it was not until he looked at the hands of the corpse and found that the bruises on the neck of the deceased matched the width of his hands, and it was determined that the deceased had died by suicide. A closed room, no one enters or leaves, but the perpetrator used drugs?"

Yao Xitong casually pointed out that there was a small hidden hole in the corner of the window, and the smoke was blown into the room through this hole.

Su Su walked into the room carrying a bottle of wine, "What is Uncle He talking about?

He Bo lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss Susu, that person committed suicide and strangled himself to death. Su Su patted his chest gently, "It's scary, there won't really be a ghost, right?" Seeing that the two of them were singing and talking happily, Yao Xitong asked: "Su Su, don't you worry about the princess at all when you look like you?"

"How can this be...... It was the son's confident appearance that made Su Su feel at ease. With a watertight answer and a compliment that left no trace, Yao Xitong suddenly felt that Su Su was very interesting, and even the case in his hand became interesting. He said: "There have been three murders in the backyard, the first one has been closed, and I believe that the case is the same as the judgment of the criminal officer, the thieves used the waterway in the backyard to steal into the hospital for money and murder." ”

"The latter two cases are not simple, and the guest who died two days ago is closely related to the second case. ”

Su Su raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The connection in Gongzi's mouth refers to ghosts? The ghost of the second murder killed the guest of the third murder?" Yao Xitong smiled slightly to agree, and seeing that Xiao Bao'er was not there, he said out loud what he thought in his heart, "There are no ghosts in the world, there are in people's hearts." I have to wonder, why does this ghost exist?"

"The main thing is to let us know a few facts, there were no ghosts here after the first murder, until there was a second murder, which means that ghosts are closely related to the second murder. What is the relationship? From the words of the principal and the servant, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is mainly concentrated in this room, and any attempt to enter the room or attempt to enter the room will be interrupted by the ghost. ”

"Why is this happening? Is there something in the room that the ghost doesn't want to touch?"

He Bo was confused, Yao Xitong first said that there are no ghosts in the world, but when analyzing the case, he talked about ghosts in everything. If everything is man-made, why does this person pretend to be a ghost and scary, why doesn't he take away the things in the room that he doesn't want to be touched? His question Yao Xitong did not answer in time, but asked Su Su, "What do you think of this problem?"

Su Su is a smart girl, and Xuan Ze uses her because of this. It's a pity that except for Xuanze, few men will listen to women's opinions, and always think that women's hair is more than knowledge. Yao Xitong took the initiative to let Su Su participate in the discussion of the case, which surprised her very much, and she only heard her say what she thought without concealing her excitement, "He can't take the things in the room, so he has to pretend to be a ghost to scare away the people who try to enter the room." ”

Yao Xitong asked again: "Is there anything here that can't be taken away?"

"Clues, or evidence. The principal said that the woman who eloped was poisoned and died, and the man who was with her knew that she was dead but asked the servant to go out and call for a doctor, which shows that the man did not want to believe that the woman was dead. I suspect that the woman was not poisoned, and the man has been looking for the cause of the woman's real death. It must be so, didn't Childe say that when the evil ghost left, you should find out who killed 'her'? The evil ghost is a man pretending, right?"

As soon as Su Su said this, Uncle He finally understood what was going on with the haunting in the backyard, and he asked worriedly: "Childe, if everything is as Miss Su Su said, can you find the murderer of the eloping woman?"

Yao Xitong smiled confidently, this case that sounded mysterious was not difficult to solve at all, and he had already figured out the reason from the principal's description of the case. The innkeeper believes that there have been two murders, and he thinks there is only one case. The body in the firewood room was not a separate case, and the guest would have died because he wanted to destroy the evidence of the second murder.

The whole thing has to start with the couple who eloped, if you are not mistaken, these two people are from the top rich family in Song Land.

Half of the wealth of the world is hidden in the Song Dynasty, and the wealth of the Song Dynasty is hidden in the four major families, and the local people use the four family names according to the surnames of the four families, such as the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, the Green Dragon, and the Xuanwu Quartet.

A few months ago, a message came from the bun shop: The daughter of the Zhu family regretted her marriage due to illness.

Yao Xitong has to read hundreds of pieces of information like this every day, and decides whether to dig deeper according to the importance of the information. The information of the Zhu family girl flashed in front of his eyes, and it was placed in the corner of his head that he didn't need to be remembered.

The main thing said that the elopement men and women were from wealthy families, which made him unconsciously think of the daughter of the Zhu family who regretted her marriage. And boldly assume that the eloped woman is the daughter of the Zhu family, so that the man who eloped with him must be Wu Jialang, and only such an assumption can explain all the doubts in the second murder.

The Zhu family, known as the Vermilion Bird in the Song Dynasty.

The martial arts family, the people of the Song Dynasty called Xuanwu.

The martial arts family is a big family, which can be traced back to a hundred years ago, when the martial arts were in their heyday, the Zhu family was nothing more than servants of the martial family. Decades ago, the thriving Zhu family was happy to have a daughter, who was born with a beautiful face and a very smart personality, and soon could go to the store to help her father take care of the business. At this time, the samurai family had long been an official in the court, and the entire family was supported by a unique secret recipe for making incense.

Although the only concubine of the Wu family is not a gentleman, he has no talent for business, and for some reason he fell in love with the capable daughter of the Zhu family, and married her home under pressure. After the daughter of the Zhu family married into the samurai family, she gave full play to her true character as a merchant girl and made a series of changes to the business philosophy and store management of the samurai family. Her actions touched the interests of many relatives who depended on the Wu family for food, and when her husband died, the Wu family drove the Zhu family girl out of the Wu family on the grounds that she had no heirs.

The story ends here and ends, the Zhu family got rid of slavery and began to run their own business, coincidentally the Zhu family also makes incense, and its quality far exceeds that of the martial arts. The new head of the family sent someone to the Zhu family to ask for the secret recipe of the martial family, saying that all the incense recipes of the Zhu family came from the martial family. The Zhu family didn't admit it, and it happened that a son entered the court as an official, and the martial family was weak, so he had to put the matter aside.

Decades have passed, and the Zhu and Wu families are still bitter rivals in the business of making incense, and whether the Zhu family's incense-making recipe comes from the Wu family has become a headless public case, and others can't say it clearly. But one thing is very certain, both Zhu and Wu have rules that they will never marry each other. The daughter of the Zhu family likes Wu Jialang, or the girl of the Wu family likes Zhu Jialang, which is simply devastating news for the two families.

The principal mentioned that the elopement girl was from a large family, and Yao Xitong did not associate the elopement girl with the Zhu family's daughter. Until I saw the things in the guest room, whether it was the bed cover or the furnishings on the table, they all belonged to the objects that were sent to the palace, and the people who could afford these things were naturally not ordinary people. The principal also said that the friend of the eloped man gave money to seal his mouth, and asked him not to publicize the suicide of the elopement woman, and they would handle everything themselves. Immediately afterwards, these people disappeared inexplicably, and when they heard this, Yao Xitong was completely sure that the elopement man was from the martial family.

The samurai family is a big family, born on the battlefield, and ranks in the court by virtue of military exploits. Some people in the clan are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and business and incense making start from that branch. The Song Di martial arts family is the only one of the four major families that has martial arts practitioners, and the most outstanding in this generation is the three masters of the Wu family. The three of them explained very well that the elopement man and his friends could disappear into thin air in the inn without alarming the principal and the stable.
