Chapter 191: The Truth Revealed (1)
Before leaving, Pei Wa left a firm sentence: "I'll tell you!" If my aunt doesn't come back tomorrow morning, I won't recognize you as a stepfather! You are a liar in my heart!! ”
When Pei Wa left, Chanjuan said, "Huo Gongzi, this ...... What's going on? Am I doing something wrong? ”
Huo Jingcheng didn't answer, but looked at the Chunhua girl on Jufeng's side, she looked at this side with frightened eyes, and whined in her throat.
Huo Jingcheng said politely: "Miss Chunhua, is it?" I'm sorry, Huo was offended. But don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I will keep Miss Chunhua first, and I will let you go back early in the morning. ”
"Jufeng, take her farther."
"Yes, Childe." Ju Feng took Chunhua into the distance as he said.
Huo Jingcheng turned his head sideways and gave Yao Duran a look, Yao Duran understood, so he came to Chanjuan's side and said softly: "Sister Chanjuan, don't be afraid, we don't mean anything else." You also know that we are investigating the case, and there are some things that need to be asked by my sister, but my sister happened to be absent, and we were anxious about the case, so we came back overnight. ”
Chanjuan's face softened a little, and said, "Just ask whatever you want." ”
Huo Jingcheng stared at her expression, and asked clearly.
In the dark night, several people hid in one of them to ask and answer, and many things were transferred in twos and pounds, and finally the clues were gradually revealed.
In the end, Huo Jingcheng and Yao Duran looked at each other, and both of them suddenly realized, and said in unison with surprise: "I see! ”
......
Early the next morning. The front of the owner's stone house was already overcrowded, and it was very lively.
The customs of this island, the newlyweds are the "first ceremony", and there is also a view. Other people have people to join in the excitement at this first ceremony, not to mention the first ceremony of the daughter and new son-in-law of the island owner's family.
The stone room was narrow, and everyone was standing outside with a bang, talking and laughing. At a large round table in front of the room, the owner of the island was sitting on the top seat with a spring breeze on his face. There are tea fruits and incense burners on the table, and the gods are worshiped every happy event. In addition, there were many bowls stacked on the table, and the woman who helped the service filled them with a bowl of wine, and the people who came to say goodbye came forward to ask for a bowl of wine to drink.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The island owner looked up and saw that Huo Jingcheng was already facing him under the attention of everyone. The owner of the island immediately stood up and stared at him with brilliant eyes, he was really tall and handsome, how to look at it and like it.
"Huo Gongzi! Is it really you? The owner of the island came up, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily: "Everyone said that it was Huo Gongzi, Huo Gongzi who investigated the case, I still can't believe it, when I see him today, it's really you!" ”
His surprise was beyond words, and Huo Jingcheng could only pretend that he was not visible, and bowed slowly.
The owner of the island looked at his side, but saw that there was only the woman who followed him, and he didn't see his own daughter at all.
"Huh? What about the small fish? ”
Huo Jingcheng said: "Lord Island, it's like this, Chen Yumeng didn't wake up, and Huo couldn't call her, so he came over first." Etiquette or something, I had to put it away, and wait for Chen Yu to come. At this moment, Huo Mou still solved the case of the ghost cave in front of the island owner and the islanders. ”
The island owner's eyes suddenly lit up: "Huo Gongzi, have you found out about that case?" ”
Huo Jingcheng bowed: "It's been found out, but I believe this result will be difficult for everyone to accept." So, before I tell the truth, it's better for you to be mentally prepared. ”
Yao Duran stood behind him, keeping his eyes and nose and nose and heart. At this time, he raised his head and looked at the crowd carefully, but saw that someone's face was suddenly pale, heh, yes, that's right.
When the islanders saw the ghost case, they all fell silent, staring at Huo Jingcheng with a pair of eyes.
The owner of the island said: "Since Xiaoyu hasn't woken up yet, let's solve the case by Huo Gongzi first, so that the islanders can rest assured as soon as possible." ”
"Okay." Huo Jingcheng paced slowly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, the ghost cave case is not the work of unjust ghosts, but someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost!" As we all know, the troupe has been here for ten days, and I believe you have heard their plays, so you might as well talk about it, how are they singing? ”
"I've only heard one play, and it seems to be a call for help."
"The one I've heard is called the Moon Worship Pavilion."
"Yes, yes, I've heard of the Moon Worship Pavilion, and I've also heard of their Hall of Eternal Life."
After the surrounding discussion was over, Huo Jingcheng said: "Islanders, then think about it carefully, what kind of famous ghosts are singing in the cave?" ”
"This ......"
"I can't seem to say that......"
Huo Jingcheng glanced around and said, "Everyone thinks that ghost singing is the ghost of the troupe singing. However, on the second night I went to your scenic spot, I also heard the ghost singing in the cave, but I didn't hear anything famous at all, what to save the wind and dust, the Palace of Eternal Life, how can there be such a tune? It's just a mess. ”
"If it is true that the soul of the troupe is not gone, and they repeatedly rehearse what they learned in the cave, then those ghosts should also be their best tricks in life, how can it be a random beating? Could it be that when they went to the underworld, they could remember that they sang opera when they were alive, but they couldn't remember what kind of drama they sang? ”
"That's right!"
"Yes, in the past two years, have any of you heard the tune of the opera in the cave?"
"It's really out of tune! Isn't it just a mess of musical instruments? ”
The corners of Huo Jingcheng's lips hooked, and he said loudly: "So, that ghost singing is simply someone pretending!" People who pretend to be ghosts can't beat operas at all, and they can't sing at all, they just knock a few times to scare people, so naturally there is no tune. ”
When the islanders heard this, they were more convinced than suspicious, and they were all silent, and there was no voice of doubt.
The island owner said: "Huo Gongzi, what ...... Why does the pretending man scare us like this? ”
Huo Jingcheng said: "In order to have an affair with his mistress without being discovered." ”
"Huh? Cheating? ”
"How can there be such a thing on our island? Cheating? ”
Huo Jingcheng said: "All the islanders, don't be impatient. You haven't been in that ghost cave because of fear, but Huo went there yesterday in order to investigate the case. The cave still contains bed quilts, musical instruments, charcoal fires, and other daily utensils. Among them, the three single beds were covered with dust, but only one of the combined large beds was clean, which shows that some people often went to the cave to spend the night, and the combined large beds proved that it was two people who went to spend the night together. Also, the quilt is not only clean, but also carries the scent of a woman. ”
The islanders listened in silence.
Huo Jingcheng continued: "Then these two people, I can only think of one man and one woman, is it possible, will they be two men or two women?" Having said that, I believe you also have a number in your hearts, yes, it is a couple of cheating men and women who often go to the cave for overnight trysts. ”
"Because the rules of your island are strict, and whoever is found to have done anything contrary to human morals must be tied to a stone and thrown into the sea. In this way, how can the cheating person not be careful? Therefore, they chose to cheat in the ghost cave, and pretended to be a ghost to scare people, so that people did not dare to approach the ghost cave, and their relationship would not be discovered. ”
At this point, the islanders naturally suddenly realized, all of them were silent, and their expressions were different.
Huo Jingcheng paced slowly and continued: "It wasn't until last year that Pei Si got drunk and broke into the ghost cave, that they discovered their adultery. And Pei Si's cause of death is very simple, what kind of unjust soul asks for his life? Isn't there still some charcoal fire left in the cave to keep warm? The cheater was worried that killing Pei Si by other methods would arouse suspicion, so he knocked Pei Si unconscious, put it next to the charcoal basin, and lit a charcoal fire again. In this way, Pei Si went from fainting to death, and died under the poison of charcoal smoke. This will make you think that a way to die with the troupe is for the troupe's soul to ask for your life, and you are even more frightened to dare not approach the ghost cave, and the cheater will hide the truth even more firmly. As for the son-in-law, in the same way, when he heard the ghost singing while drinking, he made a bet with his friends to go to the ghost cave, and naturally, he broke the adultery again, and was still killed by them in the same way. ”
After that, Huo Jingcheng came to the island owner and said, "Lord the island owner, you say, what Huo said is not reasonable?" ”
The island owner's face turned blue, and he hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying, "Reasonable is reasonable, but ......"
Huo Jingcheng interrupted him: "Lord Islander, don't say that your islanders won't do bad things. Perhaps, before you get to know your islanders, you should first understand the word 'people'. Human beings are complicated, there are no absolutes, there are no absolutes. ”
The owner of the island lowered his head a little when he heard this, and said slowly: "That...... Have you found out who are the two cheaters? ”
Huo Jingcheng turned around and ordered: "Bring it up!" ”
When the words fell, everyone looked at each other, only to see Mei Feng Jufeng walking with a woman.
The woman's face was pale and she was speechless, and she was escorted to the front of her.
Everyone looked at it and was all surprised.
"Chunhua?"
"Chunhua?"
"How is Chunhua?"
Huo Jingcheng said: "Yes, the cheating daughter is Chunhua!" As for the man's ......" He slowly walked towards the crowd, his eyes swept away, and he raised his hand and pointed: "It's you, Chen Yuan!" ”
The crowd let out a cry of surprise again.
When the island owner heard this, his face also changed: "Huo Gongzi, don't talk nonsense!" Today is the first wedding day between you and Xiaoyu, how can you accuse your wife and brother for no reason? ”
Chen Yuan said with a cold face: "Huo Gongzi! I have no grievances with you, why are you talking nonsense and slandering me? ”
Huo Jingcheng's eyes looked at him like an eagle: "Chen Yuan, then let me ask you, you married Cuilian as your wife the year before last, why did Cuilian have no children until this year?" ”
Chen Yuan's face turned blue and white for a while, he glared at Huo Jingcheng angrily, and said, "What does this have to do with you?" What does this case have to do with it? ”
Huo Jingcheng said: "Naturally, there is a relationship. Because you don't love Cuilian and married her, you didn't have sex with her at all! Naturally, she was childless. ”
As soon as Chen Yuan heard this, a white and handsome face was instantly burned red with anger: "Young Master Huo! What the hell are you talking nonsense?! ”
"Huo Gongzi is not talking nonsense!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone followed the prestige, only to see Cuilian behind the crowd slowly walking up. On closer inspection, her eyes were full of despair and despair.
