Chapter 8: The Crazy Daoist
"My lord, I can try to find that Cloud Daoist." Shui Qingxiang suggested to Liu Yingyi.
Her eyes are clear, she looks confident, and she looks like she has a bamboo in her chest.
"Oh? What clues do you have? Liu Yingyi's sad expression just now began to dissipate, and she looked at Shui Qingxiang with expectant eyes.
"Your Excellency, please see. The scene of the old bustard's death was carefully pretended by the murderer, and the murderer had to spend a lot of energy to break the body and hang it on the tree after the killing, so as to be able to humiliate the murderer, which shows that there is great hatred between the murderer and the deceased. ”
Liu Yingyi nodded slightly, and everyone in the yamen also listened carefully, obviously agreeing with Shui Qingxiang's analysis.
Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but feel funny when she saw everyone's expressions, and suddenly remembered the TV series of chasing Juan Fu in her previous life, and she was also so interested.
In a trance, it is already a matter of right and wrong, and when he came to this dynasty, he should give these reasoning little white science a score, in the tone of a certain magician in his previous life, 'The time has come to verify the miracle.' ’
"Since the murderer carefully arranged this posthumous scene after the death of the old bustard in Yichun Courtyard, where did the old Taoist priest who came with him go?" When Shui Qingxiang asked this, there was silence all around, and everyone seemed to be immersed in Shui Qingxiang's reasoning of the case, and they all wanted to know where the real murderer of this case was hiding.
"Where the hell did he go?" Liu Yingyi was the first to ask.
So far, Liu Yingyi is quite satisfied with Shui Qingxiang, but just now he found out that the other party is not good, he speaks a little with a big tongue, and he doesn't like to finish it in one breath, but likes to shake the burden like a show, which is very bad.
"If my guess is correct, this old Taoist is so familiar with the old bustard, the two of them have made an appointment to leave Dongzi County, and the old bustard has already encountered an accident, then the cloud chief will definitely not be safe and sound. The time of the deceased's death was about late last night, and he had to deal with two people, one of whom was also skilled in martial arts, and he had to carefully arrange the death scene after the deceased's death, so he would definitely not have time to deal with the second person. ”
"In such a short period of time, even if Yun Dao Chang did not die, he must have been extremely seriously injured, and he could not have run too far. Lord Liu, the distance from here to the city gate can be sent to search carefully, pay attention to whether there are newly buried wild graves, or small soil bags that have just been buried, and pay attention to whether the soil is ......very new."
As soon as Liu Yingyi heard this, he immediately understood Shui Qingxiang's intentions, and turned around and asked the officials beside him to search again along the route that Lao Bustard and Lao Dao might have taken before.
An hour later, the search yielded results.
"My lord, we found a wild grave on a path ahead. The grave was very new, as if it had been buried not long ago, as the water girl said. A catcher hurried back to report to the Liu County Order.
"Take me there."
Liu Yingyi immediately led everyone to follow the catcher, and Shui Qingxiang also followed.
Catching a quick trot to lead the way in front, I saw a small grave bag buried in loess not far from the broken corpse on a small road not far from the broken corpse.
As Haruka Tongshui said, the soil around this burial bag is new, at most it was just buried yesterday.
Liu Yingyi stood in front of the dirt bag, her eyebrows were slightly locked, a touch of lust crossed her eyes, and she said sharply: "Dig up this place!" ”
In this dynasty, most of the people buried in the outskirts of the wilderness were beggars without family members or people who died in other places, and this kind of people were generally full of anger, and after death, they were bound to become lonely ghosts, so the superstitious people generally did not touch this kind of wild grave, let alone dare to dig up the grave of such a person easily.
However, Shui Qingxiang's reasoning in front of everyone's eyes just now made everyone firmly believe that there must be some secret hidden under this wild grave, otherwise how could it be buried not far from the birch tree full of stumps and broken corpses so coincidentally, which made everyone's taboo a little less.
Since the county magistrate had spoken, a few catchers didn't dare to be sloppy, so they immediately went back and got tools, and dug up the wild grave next to each other.
I saw that there was really a corpse buried in the loess bag.
With messy gray hair, a pale face, and a navy blue robe, it was the Cloud Dao Chief.
This also confirmed Shui Qingxiang's previous guess that the murderer not only killed the old bustard, but also did not let go of the cloud chief who left with the old bustard.
It's just that the death of the old bustard in Yichun Courtyard is so miserable, compared to her, the death of the cloud road chief in front of her is too peaceful.
Shui Qingxiang stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look at Yun Dao Chief's corpse.
However, as soon as she squatted down, it was as if she saw Lao Dao's corpse move.
Shui Qingxiang rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong, but an even more unexpected scene appeared.
The "corpse", which had been lying motionless in the pit, suddenly opened its eyes.
"Wow, deceit...... Cheated corpse! A catcher suddenly turned white and shouted in panic.
Seeing this, the others instinctively took a step back.
If it weren't for the county magistrate at the scene, it is estimated that these people would have scattered in a hurry and ran away.
Liu Yingyi was also startled the moment he saw the "corpse" open his eyes, but fortunately, he was full of concentration, his face changed slightly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the person's every move in the pit.
I saw that Yun Daochang, who was lying in the pit with his eyes closed and his face pale just now, suddenly opened his eyes, and then sat up, and what was even more terrifying was that he turned his head and looked at Shui Qingxiang who was squatting next to the pit for a moment.
Although Shui Qingxiang has never believed in ghosts and gods, when a person who is obviously dead suddenly appears in front of you, and stares at you intently, no one can help but feel a chill on his back, his hairs stand up, and he is afraid.
Yun Daochang's face was dirty, his body was also sloppy, the beard on his chin was still stained with a little blood, and his eyes were empty, as if the depths of those eyes were a bottomless abyss.
At first, Shui Qingxiang thought that the old Taoist priest was staring at herself, but later she realized that he was actually not looking at herself at all, because in the next second, the old Taoist priest laughed like no one.
"Hahaha...... Retribution, retribution, what retribution! Qianlu glass lock, no one wants to get it, no one wants to get it...... Poof! The old Taoist priest immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and in an instant, his two eyes rolled up, and he fell forward with a plop.
Fortunately, the blood did not spit on Shui Qingxiang's body, but it did startle Shui Qingxiang, she didn't expect that someone who was obviously dead would come back to life.
Looking from this direction, Shui Qingxiang could clearly see that there was an obvious scar on the back of Yun Daochang's head.
Seeing this wound, Shui Qingxiang fell into deep thought.
An elderly catcher next to him stepped forward boldly, turned over the corpse of the old road, tried his snort with the back of his hand, and then said to Liu Yingyi: "Lord Liu, he ...... He's dead again! ”
"He's not dead, he's just fainted again, carry the man back and call the doctor."
Liu Yingyi thought that he could get a little clue from Yun Daochang, so he immediately sent someone to take him to the yamen for treatment.
But the man was saved, but he became a crazy fool, and the doctor said that he was too frightened and lost his mind.
Faced with this situation, Shui Qingxiang wanted to say that this old way was pretending to be crazy, but people couldn't wake up a person who deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid, and the case suddenly fell into a dead end.
"In just a few days, there were three murders in Dongzi County, and one was scared crazy, but the murderer was at large, which is really infuriating!" However, the head catcher in the yamen is still missing, and Liu Yingyi feels that his luck is too bad.
Shui Qingxiang, who was standing next to Liu Yingyi, blinked her eyes, and said to Liu Yingyi with a smile: "Don't have a headache, my lord, the case is not without a turnaround, do you remember the previous case files in Dongzi County that I mentioned to you?" ”
Liu Yingyi's eyes couldn't help but light up, he still remembered that when he looked through the county records of Dongzi County, he found that the three deceased had all come to Dongzi County in the same year.
And in that year, another big event happened.
