Chapter 10: Like a World Away

"Ridiculous!"

"It can't be!"

It was cell boss Sun Fu who broke the peace.

"This is a dry prison, and you can't even touch the water, so how could Li Dashan die of drowning?"

"Pretending to be you, this is a frame-up!"

"Speak with evidence!"

"Your Excellency, you must believe me, Sun Fu, our jailers really did not use any lynching or waterboarding against Li Dashan, nor did they let Li Dashan out. Although a few of us are usually a little confused, what I said before is true! This Li Dashan, we jailers are really cautious and cautious. ”

The cell boss Sun Fu thought that he was old and dizzy, and the autopsy could not find any results, so he casually made up a reason, planning to frame their brothers, and was so anxious that he loudly defended himself.

He didn't get angry.

The little old man, as if he had no temper, explained unhurriedly:

"Li Dashan did die of drowning. ”

"His belly is swollen like a ball, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose are overflowing with water stains, his body is slightly swollen, and he also found a few aquatic plants in Li Dashan's nose... Combined with the large pool of water stains left on the ground after Li Dashan's death, as well as Li Dashan's efforts to stretch out his head and breathe to death like an old turtle looking at the moon, all kinds of signs show that Li Dashan died of drowning. ”

"I'm just a bad old man, I have no grudges or grudges against Sun Cell, why bother framing me and falling into the well. ”

He continued: "As for why people who drowned in the water, their clothes were dry. ”

"Why is Li Dashan, who is detained alone and has never left the dry prison, to die if he falls into the water and drowns. ”

"These are the responsibilities of the headhunters, and I am only responsible for finding out what the real cause of death of the deceased was, old man. ”

The cell boss Sun Fu was so nervous that his body was shivering with cold, and he shouted loudly that he was wronged, and several of their jailers really didn't kill Li Dashan, and they definitely didn't take Li Dashan out of the prison!

Why did Li Dashan, who had been imprisoned in the cell, have symptoms of drowning, they really don't know anything!

However.

At this time, no one came forward to intercede on behalf of several jailers.

Because all the clues in front of him are indeed unfavorable to Sun Fu and others.

Subsequently, Sun Fu and several jailers were taken into custody, and a head arrester from the county government took several officials and hurried to Shangpan Village to investigate all clues related to Li Dashan's death.

......

But as soon as the talents from the Yamen arrived in Shangpan Village, before they had time to carry out an investigation, they were approached by Li Zheng on his own initiative.

It turned out that Li Cailiang's body was gone!

Li Cailiang's first seven years have not passed, the white silk, white lanterns, and memorial words in the house have not been removed, and the body has not been buried in a coffin, and the body of Li Cailiang, who was placed in the lobby of the house, has disappeared.

Li Zheng took Cun Yong to look for a day in the village and near the village, and he almost dug three feet into the ground, but he couldn't find the body of Li Cailiang who disappeared.

Things are starting to go in an uncontrollable weird direction.

This time, the head catcher who took the lead in going to Shangpan Village was Zheng Yuanhu, one of the three major head catchers in Chang County.

As one of the three major head catchers, Zheng Yuanhu's saber is also different from the standard saber of ordinary officials.

It was a tiger-headed thick-backed knife with a blade length of two feet and three inches, which was much heavier than an ordinary sword, not to mention that ordinary people could wield it freely, and it was difficult for ordinary men to wield it twice in their hands.

This Zheng Yuanhu is in Chang County, but he is a well-known hard qigong master, a tiger head knife, a tiger and a tiger black tiger boxing method, once alone pulled out the village to destroy people, rushed into the lair of the bandits in Sanjian Mountain, killed all fifteen bandits, and came back unscathed.

Fight to fame.

After Zheng Yuanhu learned that Li Cailiang's body was missing, he immediately ordered Li to lead the way and take him to Li Cailiang's house and Li Dashan's house to investigate.

Zheng Yuanhu is thoughtful, and he is not a reckless man, otherwise he would not be in the position of the three major catchers.

He already had a vague conjecture in his mind.

Li Dashan's bizarre drowning in a dry prison.

and Li Cailiang lost his body.

These two cases are too coincidental in terms of time.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

So he planned to start the investigation directly from the homes of these two people.

The disappearance of Li Cailiang's corpse, revealing the bizarre evil door, actually disappeared under the nose of the Li family who guarded the spirit, and some rumors had already spread in the village, and the people were panicked, although Li Zheng was afraid in his heart, but he didn't care about disobeying the official's words, it was to kill the head and go to prison, so he carried a lantern in his hand, and began to lead the way in front of him in the dim darkness of the night.

After nightfall, Shangpan Village is exceptionally calm and silent.

Except for one or two distant and approaching dogs barking and cats estrus, adding a bit of gloomy atmosphere to this cold night with the cold wind whistling, the lights of the whole village were extinguished, the doors and windows were closed, and the villagers had already rested.

Li Cailiang's home is not difficult to find.

One of the few households in the village that still has candles lit is Li Cailiang's family, and the loss of her husband's body has left Li's eyes swollen from crying and unable to sleep all night.

There are no useful clues in Li Cailiang's home, Li Cailiang's body, as Li Zheng said, the body disappeared, leaving no traces.

Such a big person's corpse, the dead are heavy, if you really come to steal the corpse, it is difficult for one person to move, it is impossible to do it so cleanly, without leaving a trace.

But all traces are clean.

It's as clean as... The dead man got up and went down to the ground on his own.

Zheng Yuanhu's face was solemn, and he took his six servants, as well as Li Zheng, and then went to Li Dashan's house.

Walking from Li Cailiang's house to Li Dashan's house, there was a distance in the middle, and before a few people arrived at Li Dashan's house, Li Zheng suddenly let out a startled voice.

"What?" Zheng Yuanhu's voice was as deep and heavy as a grinding plate.

Li Zheng was surprised and said, "Li Dashan's house actually has a lamp and candle on!"

Zheng Yuanhu's voice was deep: "I can't see it at night, isn't it normal for people's homes to have lights on?"

Who knows, Li Zheng hurriedly shook his head: "Li Dashan is a bad gambler, all the valuable things in the family have been lost by him, he has not yet married a family, and his parents have been angry with him and left early, he has lived alone so far, no relatives and friends, how can there be anyone in the family?"

"Huh?"

"Let's go, go over and take a look, maybe Li Dashan has other accomplices, maybe this accomplice who slipped through the net is hiding in his house now. Zheng Yuanhu's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look,

"Li Zheng, you are weak and boneless, and you are standing here, so as not to wait for the arrest of the prisoner to encounter strong resistance, which will affect you. ”

"The other brothers have joined me, and I want to see what has happened so many things lately, and who are playing tricks. ”

Cracking sound.

Zheng Yuanhu's whole body bones made a crisp sound like fried beans, he used the qi and blood in his body, activated the muscles and bones of his body, and carried the tiger head long knife in his hand.

The group walked towards Li Dashan's house, which was lit by the light of lights and candles a hundred steps away.
