Chapter 32—Ten Years of White Bones (13)

There were also some people from Yangjia Village who had lost their relatives in the ancestral ancestral hall, and when they heard these words coming out of the mouth of a big official, the people who couldn't stand it had already exclaimed in surprise and fainted.

After waiting for so many years, I always hoped that maybe the missing person was still alive, but who thought that he had long been separated by yin and yang and went to Huangquan.

Su Yunkai stood with his hands behind his back, and his hands were clenched into fists at this time.

There was a panic in the lobby, and the fainting man was carried out, and someone asked loudly, "Why did you say that?" Have you seen the body? ”

"Nope." Su Yunkai shook his head and said, "There were not many people who disappeared in Yangjia Village before, but they appeared in large numbers twenty or ten years ago, and almost all of them disappeared were unmarried teenagers and girls. Later, those who reported their disappearance came to Yamen again to close the case, saying that they had found it, but without exception, they were all people who had already started a family, and those who were married had no follow-up. ”

Some people wondered, "What does this mean?" ”

Su Yunkai's tone became more and more heavy, "There is a prevalence in Mojia Village, and there is another one, you may also know." ”

One replied casually, "Yin marriage." ”

When the words fell, everyone exclaimed again, exclaiming in fear. Even Mingyue, who had been prepared for a long time, felt a chill in her bones, so cold that she shuddered again. Qin Fang, who was originally absent-minded, also listened carefully at some point, and when he heard this, his intestines were blue with regret, and he wanted to leave here, but it was dark outside, and there was no one to accompany him, so he really didn't have the courage to leave through this strange village alone. Secretly moved to Bai Shui's side, even if she was a bear, she felt extremely reliable.

Bai Shui noticed that he was close, frowned and whispered, his tone was not good, "What to do?" ”

Qin Fang whimpered, "I'm afraid." ”

“…… Bag. "Bai Shui still didn't shoot him away in the end, so let's take it as compensation for wronging him when he got the letter.

Su Yunkai spoke again, and he had already sighed first, "Yes, Yin marriage, the same tomb and cave...... Secret marriage. ”

At this time, an elder was already standing in astonishment, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord is saying that what the murderer was doing back then, yes, was to kill the boys and girls in the village, and go to marry the needy people outside?" His eyes widened in astonishment, and he said in disbelief, "Kill a living person to marry a yin marriage?!" ”

The hall was full of fear, fear, shock, and the atmosphere in the ancestral hall plummeted, so shocked that no one in the hall spoke. It took a long time for someone to shake and say, "Who is that person...... Who the hell is so ferocious. ”

Su Yunkai still didn't answer, but turned to the door, "Yang Qianli is here?" ”

Almost as soon as the words fell, Yang Qianli answered, although he had a clear conscience, but his face was full of uneasiness, for fear that the next step would be to be taken away by the officials--he had heard many officials taking people's bags in order to solve cases.

Su Yunkai asked, "Do you remember when you went up and down the mountain today, I asked you about hunting?" ”

Yang Qianli thought for a while and replied, "I remember." ”

"Who's the best hunter in the village?"

"Village Chief."

"What kind of powerful method?"

"I heard my father say that the village chief wears a hundred steps, as long as the arrow is fired, there is no one who does not fail, so he can always come back with a lot of prey, and he will also distribute it to those who can't hunt in the village."

Su Yunkai asked, "What are the 100 steps through Yang, did your father see it with his own eyes?" ”

Yang Qianli felt that he was asking strangely, and he didn't know why he was involved in this, but he still replied honestly, "No, the village chief always goes to dangerous places, and he doesn't want them to come with him for fear that the villagers will be injured, and he always goes to the most dangerous place by himself." ”

"And what kind of prey did he bring back?"

Yang Qianli didn't know this, and turned to look at an old man. The old man was Yang's father, and when he saw his son, he answered, "Generally pheasants, hares, and occasionally wild boars." Father Yang was older and had seen the world again, so he boldly asked, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Su Yun opened his eyes and looked at the person who had been silent on the side, only to feel that in just half an hour, his face had aged for twenty years, "Yang Fugui, you are the murderer." ”

Everyone was amazed and looked at him in unison.

"You are the one who killed Yang Baijia, killed the children in the village, and sold them outside to marry Yin in exchange for prey and silver."

Yang Fugui, who was holding the crutches, widened his eyes slightly, raised his head slowly, but his brows gradually gathered, "What are these words, my lord?" The people of Yangjia Village, almost all of them have the same surname, they are from my clan, and I am the head of a village, and I have been diligent and diligent for nearly 30 years. ”

Su Yunkai sneered, "If you want to quibble, I expected it." Since I expected it, then I am by no means without evidence. ”

He motioned to the officer, who stepped forward and placed a bow and arrow in the middle of the hall. The bow is still intact, the end of the arrow is rusty, and it looks like it has been left for a long time.

"This bow and arrow was taken out of Yang Fugui's house, and I also asked your wife before taking it, but you used it before, and she said yes. However, I showed ten qualified catchers in the yamen, and they all said that this kind of bow and arrow could not penetrate the boar's skin. In other words, the prey you said you hunted back then, but you didn't hunt it at all. I think you lied about hunting, but in fact you sent the children hidden in the cave outside, sold them for money, and then bought meat from the hunters to cover up your crime. ”

Yang Fugui sneered, "The more you say this, the more outrageous it becomes, after so many years, what's so strange about me changing my bow and arrow, and I'm going to be condemned for this alone?" The new official took office, and the credit for cracking the unsolved case was inevitably too hasty and too difficult to convince. ”

In the end, he is the village chief who is highly respected and treats the people of the village well, and there are people who speak for him for a while.

Su Yunkai had a cold light in his eyes and said, "Twenty years ago and ten years ago, the officials who served were put in prison by the imperial court on charges of corruption. But in addition to having prey to satisfy hunger, your family also has rice to eat from time to time, and money to cure illness, and the whole family of six, your father and mother are farmers, and your wife is weaving, which is no different from other villagers. But your food and shelter are completely different from others. ”

Yang Fugui stared at him and said, "My lord probably forgot that the grass people, as a township leader, can receive some rice and grain from the yamen every month, although it is not much, but they can occasionally afford to eat." ”

Su Yunkai took a file from the hand of the official behind him and almost threw it at his feet, "This is the confession that several officials confessed after being arrested, and it is recorded that the officials in office are so corrupt that they even swallowed the monthly salaries of the village chiefs of the thirty-nine villages under their jurisdiction, and you have no money to receive at all." Yang Fugui, you have lied again and again, and you can't hide the fact that you killed Yang Baijia and killed the young girl in the village! ”

Yang Fugui finally couldn't help but stand up, and said urgently on crutches, "My lord has no evidence, don't spew blood anymore!" ”

"I remember Yang Qianli said that Yang Baijia loves children very much, and is happy to play with them, and even when they are in danger, they will protect them regardless of danger. At the same time, people in the village have been missing for several years. Until Yang Baijia also disappeared, no one in the village disappeared anymore. So you think that Yang Baijia is deliberately close to the children and is the murderer, and according to my investigation, it was you who first identified Yang Baijia as the murderer and pushed him to the cusp and couldn't turn over! ”

"What's wrong with this? If he hadn't done it, why would no one in the village disappear as soon as he disappeared, which is too coincidental. ”

"That's because you're going to blame him." Su Yunkai has begun to close the net, to imprison him in the wasteland, can no longer escape back into the water, let him escape, "Since twenty years ago, people have disappeared one after another, seven men and nine women, a total of sixteen people, all of whom have disappeared with the surname Yang, but outsiders like Li Ta have not disappeared. It's not because you don't want to, but because people with foreign surnames are missing in the village, and if there is a disturbance, you, as the village head, can't suppress and hide it at all, so you only attack your own people. ”

Yang Fugui was sure that he had no evidence, and even the people in the village didn't believe that he was such a cruel murderer, and Su Yunkai's eyes were full of suspicion.

Su Yunkai was not in a hurry, and continued, "There were many natural disasters back then, but seven or eight villages in the area of Mojia Village did not suffer from floods because they were sheltered by mountains, and they were close to mountain roads, so they could go out to work, and their lives were richer than those of Yangjia Village, but they had a custom, that is, the prevalence of underworld marriages." But it is not easy to find a suitable yin marriage, so there are 'ghost matchmakers' who make a living by introducing corpses and making money from them, specializing in matchmaking for two unmarried and dead children, and after the matter is completed, they can also get a rich reward from it.

Not only Mingyue, but even Bai Shui felt creepy, Qin Fang was even more afraid, this is the ancestral shrine, the tablets are full, and the three of them only feel the wind gusting.

"As long as you compare the days of their disappearance with the time when the government received the report and the people in the town who were married to the yin marriage, it is not difficult to find that the time between the three of them is only five or six days...... There is no exception. ”

One case is a coincidence, but there is no exception, saying that it is a coincidence...... It's hard to believe.

Su Yunkai said sharply, "Yang Fugui, what the real ghost medium does is a normal marriage with yin, but what you do is to kill the children in the same village after learning which family needs children, and use the passage of the cave in the back mountain to sell them to them, so as to make huge profits and make a living from it." Until you were inadvertently bumped into by Yang Baijia, you killed him in order to keep your mouth shut, and blamed him for all the crimes. ”

No one in the hall was talking, and everyone was conflicting - did they believe him, or did they believe the village chief?

Yang Fugui stood only tired, then sat down and only said, "You have no evidence at all, these are just your conjectures." ”

Su Yun was happy and angry, this anger did not make him impatient, but made him more sober, such a murderer who refused to admit to death, only by clearly exposing the evidence can he have no room for quibble.

"You want proof? Okay, then I'll show you the proof! ”
