"Opportunity favors only those who are prepared." When Xia Xue was thinking about what to do next, she heard news from Qidun Village, Bohai County, that a fire broke out in the village last night, burning a villager to death, and the cause of death was suspicious, but it was impossible to determine whether it was a homicide. Xia Xue decided to take a look, maybe it was still a chance.

Xia Xue set off early in the morning, carrying only the mobile phone secretly retrieved from the top of the Buddha's head, a dagger tied to her calf, and other things, and she did not ride a horse. First, horses are too precious, except for martial arts training and special circumstances, Xia Xue basically does not ride; Second, Qidun Village is not very far, so Xia Xue decided to walk.

There was silence all around, except for the damp and gloomy early morning light. When Xia Xue walked to Qidun Village in Bohai County at the fastest speed, the sun had already come out.

At the entrance of the village, Xia Xue saw a puppy with a long body, short and curved legs, and a snow-colored coat circling around her. Its shaggy tail stood up straight like a feather in a hat, stiff and round, and its looped legs were so obedient that it often lifted one of its hind legs gracefully, and ran on three legs with brisk and swiftness, as if it disdained to use all four.

It seemed to be very happy to see Xia Xue, running and jumping around Xia Xue for a while, rolling on the ground with a cheerful scream, basking in the sun with a thoughtful expression, and playing with a piece of wood or a piece of hay for a while.

Xia Xue had something in her heart, and she didn't care about teasing the puppy, so she stopped to watch the puppy's performance for a while, and walked quickly to the village.

I saw that the village was full of green trees, and most of the houses were thatched houses, covered with moss. In front of the house and behind the house, there are some vegetables, mulberry hemp and the like, a pastoral scenery.

Xia Xue rushed to the scene of the burning of people, and there were many people surrounded in front of a ruined wall, and there were several officials from Yuxian County who were watching the scene, among which the leader was a tall official surnamed Dong.

Listen to the people around you say: "This house is the village Zhang Daojia, Zhang Dao usually repairs bridges and roads, fasting monks preach, is recognized as a good person, do not want to fly to the disaster, suffered from this natural disaster, it is really a sigh!" ”

Dong Yazhi walked into the scene of the crime and observed carefully, only to see that the house was originally a grass and wood structure, with a grass roof, beams and columns, and mud walls.

He walked over to the corpse again, and the corpse was lying on its back on the ground, its clothes long since turned to ashes, and the surface of its skin had been charred and blackened.

After looking at it for a while, Dong Yashi stood up and announced to Zhang Dao's sons and villagers: "After my inspection, this should have been accidentally burned to death, and it should not be a homicide!" A few of your family members will bury the deceased in a while, and this case will be closed, and I will go back to give Jiang Xian Ling his life. ”

"Wait! Let me see! Xia Xue walked out of the crowd, the ice was clear and jade, and she looked like a fairy. That Dong Ya and Li Zheng of Qidun Village and a few villagers, because when the big Buddha of Nanshan Temple spoke, they were also present, and they had seen this beautiful little fairy, and anyone who had seen Xia Xue's fairy appearance was basically unforgettable for life, because such a beautiful woman is rare in the world. Therefore, several of them all know Xia Xue, the famous "Nine Heavens Fairy".

"Ah, it turned out to be the Nine Heavens Fairy! What are your instructions? Dong Yashi hurriedly bowed down and saluted Xia Xue, because the ancients were superstitious and admired and awe-inspiring fairies.

Qidun Village and other onlookers also saluted Xia Xue, and some even knelt on the ground to make a five-body bow.

"Let me go in and have a look, I think it's a little weird."

The "Nine Heavens Fairy" wants to see, how dare she stop it, Dong Yashi hurriedly respectfully invited Xia Xue to enter the scene to watch.

Xia Xue has studied human body desolation, her mother is a doctor, and she has also told herself a lot about human anatomy. His father, who turned from a special forces officer to an Interpol, also told him some knowledge about solving crimes.

Therefore, Xia Xue is still very sure about solving some criminal cases. So he walked into the scene, squatted beside the deceased, put on an ordinary glove over the high-tech glove, and officially began to examine the body.

Xia Xue first flipped the corpse's arm, trying to judge the time of the deceased's death by the degree of hardening of the corpse, according to her own knowledge, under normal circumstances, the corpse will harden within 30 minutes - 2 hours after death; 9 hours - 12 hours complete hardening; Softens after 30 hours; It was restored after 70 hours.

It has been seven or eight hours since the fire started. The corpse had hardened, so it was a little stiff when the deceased's arm was flipped over. Xia Xue nodded: "Considering the high temperature conditions of the fire ground, it seems that it has been dead for more than seven or eight hours, and it seems that it is indeed a fire that broke out in the middle of the night last night!" ”

Then, Xia Xue wanted to pry open the deceased's mouth to check, so she pulled out the dagger, reached between the deceased's teeth, and gently pried it, and the deceased's mouth was opened. Xia Xue observed it carefully before nodding confidently.

After doing all this work, she took off the gloves from her hands, then returned to the outside of the house, and said lightly: "As far as I can see, the deceased was killed first, and then the body was cremated. ”

Li Zheng and the officials were so shocked that they almost jumped up: "What? Is it a vendetta? ”

Xia Xue asked Dong Yashi and Li Zheng to look at the deceased's pried open mouth, and explained: "Everyone, please see, the deceased's mouth is clean and there are no ashes, which means that it was burned after killing, because when the fire caught him, he was already dead, so his mouth was closed, and the ashes did not enter his mouth." If it is burned, then the ashes will naturally burrow into the mouth due to breathing and crying. Therefore, the dead are killed first, and then the body is cremated. ”

After listening to Xia Xue's explanation, everyone suddenly realized and nodded yes.

Dong Ya and Li Zheng, as well as a few bold officials and villagers, carefully checked the mouth of the deceased again, and sure enough, it was relatively clean, with only a small amount of ash entrance, and finally determined the fact that they killed people first and then set fire.

After this verdict, Zhang Dao's sons cried: "My lord, my mother died early, and my father did a good deed every day, but he was killed by thieves, please find out the murderer, so as to comfort my father's soul in heaven!" Your Excellency is going to be our master! ”

The officials glanced at Xia Xue and thought to themselves: "This person's life is at stake, how can he solve the case?" ”

Xia Xue smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Master Dong, I have a way to help identify the murderer. ”

She asked Li Zheng to call all the people in the village, and there were about 200 villagers except for children.

Dong Yashi is a little worried, more than 200 villagers, it is not easy to interrogate, although it has been determined that it is a homicide, who will this murderer be? Dong Yayi was also at a loss for a while.

"Zhang Dao died tragically, and his resentment is difficult to eliminate, and it is inevitable that he will come back to make trouble in the future, causing peace in the village." Xia Xue turned back to Li Zheng and said.

This kind of person who died unexpectedly and made a monster was widely spread among the villagers. It is a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and it is also a stunt of the village woman to scare the child, so everyone is convinced.

Li Zheng looked thin and dark, his eyes were sunken, and his expression was clumsy, he nodded again and again when he heard it, and said to Xia Xue with a sad face: "Lord fairy, how to solve it?" Why don't you find a few Taoist priests to come to the village? ”

Xia Xue shook her head and said, "No need, I have a way to keep me safe." You go and prepare some incense and candle offerings, and we will set up the incense table here, and then ask the villagers to pray one by one. Zhang Dao's soul can be transcended and transferred to reincarnation. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he ran to prepare. When it is small, the items are well prepared,

Xia Xue arranged the incense case by herself, and when everything was ready, she walked up to Dong Yashi and whispered to him.

Dong Yashi listened with a puzzled face, so he lectured the villagers: "In order to prevent the dead from making trouble, you will come one by one, and you will all pray in front of the incense table, and if you have anything in your heart to say to the deceased, pray a few words." Anyway, if others are far away, they can't hear it. When you speak, give your name first, so that the spirit of the deceased in heaven can know who you are. Especially those who have some festivals with Zhang Dao on weekdays, they must repent well, strive for the forgiveness of the deceased, and pray for the blessing of the village! ”

The prestige of Dong Yashi was really extraordinary, and these villagers were submissive, lined up a long snake formation, and began to worship one by one. Since the prayers were not long, after more than three hours, all the villagers finished praying.

Dong Yayi's eyes swept around, and said to Xia Xue: "The villagers have finished praying, and the fairy will tell me who the murderer is." ”

Xia Xue said unhurriedly: "Master Dong, wait a minute, there are mortal fairies below, and the spells are not as good as when you are in the fairy world." So I still need to ask the gods to do the law, and the gods will naturally guide me! Now please find some curtains to surround the incense table, I need to ask God to do it! During my practice, no one should disturb me, so please ask Lord Dong to help maintain order, keep quiet, and don't disturb the gods. ”

Dong Yashi was convinced of the "Nine Heavens Fairy" as if it were a god, and immediately asked Li Zheng to find the villagers to arrange it according to Xia Xue's instructions.

After arranging, Xia Xue mysteriously walked into the curtain that was being dressed, and after more than forty minutes, Xia Xue walked out. Then he said to Dong Yaservant: "I know who the murderer is, please ask Lord Dong to take down the man named Wang Erhu, he is the murderer of Zhang Dao." ”

Dong Yayi was stunned for a moment, but he respected Xia Xue like a god, and without the slightest doubt, he immediately ordered someone to take down a villager named Wang Erhu.

After the man named Wang Erhu was arrested, he did not resist in the slightest and quickly confessed his crime. This guy has a thin yellow face, a shaggy mustache, a pair of sunken and cold eyes, dark circles, tall and thin, and he is not a good stubble at first glance. It turned out that Wang Erhu liked to gamble, owed a lot of gambling debts, and was forced by the creditor to be red-eyed, and felt that Zhang Dao, who often did good deeds and relief people, must have money in his family, so he wanted to beat his idea. I saw Zhang Dao at home alone last night, so after he fell asleep, he sneaked into Zhang Dao's house to steal. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dao was awakened, and he found and caught, Wang Erhu and dog jumped off the wall and killed Zhang Dao with a short knife hidden in his body, in order to cover up his crime, so he set fire to destroy the corpse.

Dong Ya's heart was overjoyed, it seemed that this little fairy was indeed extraordinary: "I didn't expect to solve the case so quickly, thank you, Lord Fairy!" Then he began to give orders in high spirits: "Come on, escort this bold Diao people back to the county government and interrogate them carefully." Back to the Ya! ”

So, he pressed the murderer and returned triumphantly with the other officers.

In the eyes of the villagers with great admiration, Xia Xue also left Qidun Village. So the deeds of a "Nine Heavens Fairy" with profound mana soon spread, and the more it spread, the more it spread, the more mysterious it became, Xia Xue wanted this effect, and she didn't refute the rumors.

In fact, Xia Xue just used the recording and playback recording functions of her mobile phone to solve the case. At the beginning, she first turned on the recording function of her high-tech, thin, soft and foldable mobile phone and hid it under the incense case. Then let everyone sign up for prayer to the deceased one by one, and after praying, she asked Dong Yashi to surround the incense table with a cloth curtain, she stayed inside, took out her mobile phone, put the sound to the lowest, put it on her ears, and used the fast-forward function to play back the villagers' registration prayer recordings one by one, and finally found the murderer Wang Erhu.

In ancient times, people were superstitious and afraid of ghosts and gods, even the worst people were afraid of ghosts and gods. Since the place of prayer is far away from other people, there is no fear of being overheard. Wang Erhu first honestly reported his name, then lowered his voice and began to pray sincerely. In prayer, he begged Zhang Dao to forgive him, not to resent him, and begged Zhang Dao's unjust soul not to pester him. said that he went to his house to steal recently, and he didn't want to kill him, but he was in a hurry to make a mistake, and he would definitely burn more paper money to apologize for his sins in the future. Xia Xue listened to Wang Erhu's registration and prayer, and immediately locked Wang Erhu as the murderer and arson.
