The sun is scorching, the sound of cicadas has been closed, and autumn is approaching in a blink of an eye.

The eight doors were still as lively as usual, with prisoners coming back here and witnesses leaving there.

People enter and exit the eight doors every day, and the peaceful and prosperous times on the surface of the capital are because of the diligence of the eight doors to catch the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the dark night.

With virtuous ministers at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is naturally a scene of happiness for the people.

Fu Mingrui sorted out the file of Bai Zhankui's entire case in the study, and he read and wrote at the same time, as if the whole case had been staged again in his mind.

Since Bai Zhankui's daughter-in-law Yu Huanting jumped into the river with her son at the beginning of the year, the whole family has been completely shattered, the Bai family is living in pain every day, and the people of Baijia Village are also scolding Yu Huanting for being vicious, and she will die with her two children, which is to make the Bai family lose their children and grandchildren.

But then, something strange happened. Bai Zhankui's mother, Chen Jinhua, hanged herself.

Chen Jinhua's hanging was very weird, there was nothing under her feet, and her body was the same as Bai Zhankui, without any scars.

When a normal person hangs himself, he will move a chair to raise himself, and then kick off the chair and stool. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the hanged person will be scarred at the last moment.

And under Chen Jinhua's feet, there is nothing, and the beam of the house is sorghum, and there is a seven-foot man from the ground, how did Chen Jinhua go up?

The scene of that day was still vivid in front of Fu Mingrui's eyes.

Originally, this kind of hanging did not require them to go out through eight doors, and the county order of the head of the local town could solve it by itself. But because the scene was so weird, the county order reported eight doors.

Baijia Village Book and Fanggu Town in the eastern suburbs of the capital, the town belongs to the capital, and it is not far from the capital, so the county order was reported.

But when Fu Mingrui arrived at the scene, the scene had already been destroyed.

When the people in the village saw Chen Jinhua hanging, they were kind enough to get her down at the first moment, but they didn't know to do it, but they destroyed the scene.

At that time, Fu Mingrui lost his temper and pointed out that the villagers were ignorant!

Later, during the questioning, the villagers realized that the scene was abnormal.

There is no stool under Chen Jinhua's feet, and the doors and windows are closed, several suspicious points are pieced together, Fu Mingrui preliminarily deduced here that this may be a closed room murder case.

But what the common people deduced was another version, saying that it must be the evil daughter-in-law who came to ask for her life!

At that time, Fu Mingrui had not opened his eyes and was frightened, so he naturally didn't believe in these strange things. And within the scope of his business, he is more exposed to murder in secret rooms.

This was the Bai family's first case, but because the scene was destroyed at that time, and there were too few clues at hand, there was no progress.

Until, Bai Zhankui's father suddenly "hanged" in the same way!

This made the whole case instantly sensational in the entire Fanggu Town, and the rumors of the evil daughter-in-law asking for her life spread more and more divinely. During that time, almost the entire Fang Guzhen Town was discussing this case.

This time, the villagers remembered it for a long time, and they didn't go to get Bai Zhankui's father Bai Genfa down.

When Fu Mingrui arrived at the scene, the site was well protected, and there were no extra footprints on the ground, only Bai Wu had his own footprints.

Bai Wu's way of death, like Chen Jinhua, did not have a stool, hung sorghum, and did not have any other scars on his body.

There are no traces of struggle at the scene, indicating that Bai Zhankui did not struggle before his death, or this may not be the scene of the first crime, it is possible that Bai Zhankui was strangled outside, hung on the beam of the house, and then created this secret room.

Fu Mingrui thought of a variety of possibilities, and even the layout of the secret room he had already thought of, the only thing he couldn't figure out was that there were only the footprints of the deceased at the scene, so how did the murderer leave this secret room? Why didn't he leave any footprints? As long as he figured this out, the case was solved.

Then, on that day, that is, when he was hunting in the enclosure in the western suburbs of Duanmu Qingchen, he suddenly figured it out. If a person does not struggle before dying, it is possible that he has been drugged with sweat. Then the only one who can drug his family unknowingly like this is his family.

The family drugged the meal, and when Bai Wu was unconscious, they strangled him to death. Then comes the key.

He put on the shoes of the deceased, carried the deceased to the deceased's room, and hung the deceased on a rope sleeve prepared in advance. Then, he took care of the window, and then exited the room, outside, pulled the deadbolt with the prepared rope, and cut the rope with scissors, and everything became a perfect secret room. And in the deceased's room, there are only the footprints of the deceased himself.

Straighten out all the clues, and arrest people.

That day, the emperor happened to be in a hurry to order him to go to Ma Guanqun's Shangshu's house to solve the case of Ma Yunhua Butterfly, and that case happened to be another secret room case.

So that day, he was the one who asked Zhao Cheng to arrest him.

After Ma Guanqun's case, he opened a court to try the case of Chen Jinhua's hanging in the secret room.

In court, Bai Zhankui didn't say a word, just in a daze, neither denying nor admitting it. In this case, if the suspect has not denied it all the time, it is considered a tacit acquiescence.

During the day on the night of Bai Zhankui's death, Fu Mingrui interrogated him for the last time, and Bai Zhankui still looked the same, not admitting or denying it.

In Chen Jinhua's case, Bai Zhankui was convicted of killing his father and mother.

That night, Bai Zhankui committed suicide in his cell.

Fu Mingrui picked up the official seal of the case, but this official seal has not been stamped for a long time. What if he was wrong? What if the real culprit in this case was hidden in the shadows that he couldn't see?

[Things hidden in the dark are always more exciting than what you can see......] Lian Youyou's words sounded in his ears unconsciously, as if constantly reminding him that there may really be an invisible real murderer in this case.

Zhao Cheng entered with a pile of files in his hand, and gently put down Fu Mingrui's desk, but saw that in front of Fu Mingrui was Bai Zhankui's case, and the adults of their family seemed to have no reason for not stamping the official seal for a long time, but looking at the case file in a daze.

"My lord, why don't you cover the coffin?" Zhao Cheng said that the coffin was a joke about the final seal and sealing of the file, and once the file was stamped with the official seal of the case, the case would be over.

When Fu Mingrui heard Zhao Cheng's words, instead of stamping the seal, he put down the official seal: "What if there is a real murderer? This real murderer is just that we didn't see ......."

"What do you say, sir? If Bai Zhankui was wronged, why didn't he shout injustice?" Zhao Cheng also said his reasons, "You see that those who have entered our eight doors do not shout injustice, the real murderer is even more powerful than the other, but in the end, it is not that you have been treated one by one!"

"If it was really Bai Zhankui who killed him, wouldn't it be more perfect for him to put a stool under the deceased......? Isn't it a bit of a stretch?" After Fu Mingrui overturned all his judgments, he found that this case was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
