Chapter 21: The Murder of a Fishing Village

The group of people who chased from the official road in the southeast shouted, it seemed that they wanted to dig up the clematis master and apprentice to death with a few hoes, Rao is wandering rivers and lakes and seen a lot of the world, and the old Taoist's legs were also a little weak, as for his two stupid apprentices, they were so scared that they couldn't even let out a fart.

Qin Lin took a step forward and stretched out his hands to stop him in vain: "Slow, even if it is a murderer, it must be tried clearly, as the saying goes, there is no proof of death, if you really want to kill them, the murder case you are talking about has become a confused account." ”

Feeling that what Qin Lin said made sense, this group of people hesitated, looking at them suspiciously, two young people dressed as laymen and three Taoist priests stayed together, not knowing what the way it came from.

One of them was stunned with a harpoon, twisted his neck, and said in a huffing voice: "This person is in the same group as the thief and the Taoist, don't be deceived by him, what's the matter with killing him?" Give my third aunt her life! ”

After that, the stunned young man held a harpoon, and he didn't know how important it was, so he hit Qin Lin's head.

"You die!"

It was like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and he was stunned, and he couldn't hold the harpoon in both hands, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Niu vigorously strode the meteor over, his face was a little ugly, and his roar shook everyone's ears.

Stunned, he said aggrievedly: "Uncle Niu, this kid sits at the same table with the thief Taoist, and he is not a good person." ”

Yes, yes, everyone was arguing nonsense, because of their preconceived opinions, they decided that the master and apprentice of the Clematis were murderers, hated the house and Wu, and even Qin Lin and Lu Yuanzhi became bad people.

Niu Dali snorted heavily in his nose, ignored the villagers, walked in front of Qin Lin, and knelt down and kowtowed with a pop, Qin Lin couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

The villagers were stunned, everyone knew that Niu Dali had just become the head of the Shangzhou Yazhuang class.

Although these three classes of officials are nominally untouchables, in fact, their children and grandchildren are not allowed to go to the imperial examination, and the power in their hands is really not small.

Stunned Qing, who had just picked up the harpoon from the ground, let go of his hand and knocked the harpoon off, this time he was not so lucky, and happened to hit the instep of his foot, so painful that he grinned and jumped straight on his foot.

"This Brother Qin is the little miracle doctor who cured my mother!" Niu Dali got up from the ground and shouted at the villagers: "He is the second disciple of Doctor Li, do you say, will he be a fellow murderer and robber?" ”

Li Shizhen has been practicing medicine in Qizhou for decades, and every time there is a plague, he will do his best to administer medicine and relief, which can really be described as a blessing, and the villagers heard Niu Dali say this, and the hostility was greatly reduced, but they still carefully surrounded the clematis master and apprentice, lest they take the opportunity to run away.

The stunned young man didn't dare to argue vigorously with the cow, so he could only lower his head and mutter: "Then you can't let the third aunt die in vain, I see these people sneaky ......"

Niu Dali glared at him fiercely, and hurriedly shrank his neck back.

Qin Lin shook his head and asked, "What the hell is going on, did you report to the official?" ”

The clematis also came over and put on an unfathomable look: "Poor Dao accidentally had a whim, pinched his fingers and counted that there should be such an unwarranted disaster, so he stayed here to deal with the calamity, and then traveled around the world after the stigma was cleared." But I don't know what the details of the murder are, and it's good to make a hexagram about the poor road, and calculate where the real murderer is. ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't look like a good person when he looks at you!" Niu Dali glared at Wei Lingxian viciously, and was so frightened that Lao Dao took two steps back, and then he pulled Qin Lin to the side with a solemn expression, and told the murder in detail:

This Chawan Village is a fishing village on the edge of the Qi River, around the beginning of the morning, the village tangerine leatherman passed by Ma's house, and accidentally found the hostess Ma Tang lying unconscious in the yard, with a pool of blood under his body.

When the people in the village asked, some people said that they saw three Taoist priests eating at Ma's house in the morning, and they were afraid that these three people had killed Ma Tang when they saw their wealth, and it didn't take long for Niu Bianmao to find a bloody seven-star sword in the room, and the villagers immediately thought that it was the Taoist priest who killed him, so twenty or thirty sturdy young men picked up the guy and chased after him.

Niu Dali was busy holding a banquet at home to celebrate his promotion, and when he heard about this, he was afraid that the villagers would be ignorant and ignorant, so he killed the murderer without permission and caused a big incident, so he hurriedly threw down the work at hand and rushed all the way, and finally stopped the villagers before they could do it.

"Brother Qin, you are a good hand at healing, but this life lawsuit ......" Niu rubbed his palms vigorously, hesitated for a long time before hesitating and said: "There are all the human and physical evidence, it seems that the person was killed by those three Taoist priests, anyway, you and they only have a one-sided friendship, I think, it is better to clear it as soon as possible." ”

Qin Lin shook his head, his specialty is exactly the opposite of what Niu Dali said, treating diseases is just commonplace, and the blind cat bumped into a dead mouse to meet the right Niu family's warm malaria, and engage in a life lawsuit, but it is a specialty.

"There are too many doubts in this case, if I don't go, I'm afraid that there will be an unjust case, and Modo said, take us to the scene to see."

Niu Dali was helpless, so he had to order Zhuangding to strictly guard the master and apprentice of the clematis, and at the same time send someone to Qizhou City to report to the official, and he led Qin Lin and others to the scene of the crime.

Suddenly involved in a major murder case, Lu Yuanzhi's small round face was a little excited, and his deliberately lowered voice was slightly hoarse: "Brother Qin, I don't think these three Taoist priests are like murderers. ”

Oh? Qin Lin raised his eyebrows.

Lu Yuanzhi smirked twice, "There are three masters and apprentices, and the two apprentices are stupid, needless to say, although the master is cunning, it is not as fierce as killing people, otherwise the two stupid apprentices who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures have been dumped by him a long time ago, no matter how I look at them, they don't seem to be carrying human lives on their backs." ”

Qin Lin nodded and said concisely, "Go on." ”

"Now that Wanli Ye is sitting in the Dragon Court, Zhang Xiangye is in charge, the world is peaceful, no matter how poor the countrymen are, there is a little broken silver, a few strings of official money, the master and apprentice of the clematis really kill people and rob money, how can they not even afford boiled eggs and fire......"

The more Lu Yuanzhi spoke, the more excited he became, his fat face was shiny, and he clenched his fist and waved it vigorously: "In my opinion, that cow flat hair is very problematic, he was the one who found the murder, and he was the one who found the murder weapon, could it be that he did the case!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Lin's evaluation for a long time, and Lu Yuanzhi asked a little worriedly: "Brother Qin, is what I said wrong?" ”

Qin Lin shook his head with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Fatty, remember one sentence, before carefully surveying the scene and collecting clues in an all-round way through interviews and investigations, all analysis and judgment are random guesses, it is possible to guess correctly, or it may be 108,000 miles away from the truth." ”

Lu Yuanzhi was silent when he heard this, and suddenly grinned: "Brother Qin said it so well, what I don't know is that you are the head of our Qizhou Yamen." ”

"Ah, that's what I said," Niu Dali slapped his thigh violently, and looked at Qin Lin with admiration: "I was thinking about where I heard these words just now, but Brother Lu reminded me that I was on duty in the state government the year before last, and I accompanied him for half a month to investigate the case from a Huo stall head in Dongchang, and what his old man said was similar to Brother Qin." ”

The conversation has come to Chawan Village.

This fishing village is backed by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is quiet and beautiful, but it is a pity that the murder that has just happened has cast a bloody shadow on its peace and tranquility, and everyone has a little panic on their faces.

When they saw the clematis master and apprentice surrounded by strong men, the villagers were angry, holding harpoons, hoes, and stones and shouting and shouting to kill, if it weren't for Qin Lin Lingniu's vigorous efforts to stop it, I was afraid that before the government could judge, the clematis master and apprentice would be smashed into meat pies.

At this time, Kong Qingzi and Yun Huazi were so frightened that they couldn't say a word, but the clematis had seen some ups and downs, and the duck was dead and hard:

"Qin donor, as the so-called 'the avenue is not good, Zhong Nier is in Chen Cai', the poor road is supported by the donor and not humiliated by the village fool in this calamity, it is really a fairy fate destined to ......"

Uh~ Zhong Ni is trapped in Chen Cai, your old man's tone is really big, and he compares himself to the old master Kong, the most holy Wenxuan king, Qin Lin had no choice but to increase his forehead with his hand, and he really admired the thickness of the face of the clematis, which was like the surging Yangtze River, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control......

But after arriving at the scene of the murder, Clematist's mouth couldn't get hard, he looked at the corpse lying on the ground in horror, and looked at the seven-star sword that was stained with a lot of blood and was obviously a magic weapon that Taoist priests often carried with him, and his trembling voice was full of crying:

"This, this sword is not mine, he, fuck, someone framed Dao Ye!"

The stunned Qing who took the lead when he was chasing after him, rounded the harpoon in his hand, snorted, and scolded: "Fart, this sword is not brought by your Taoist priest?" How could my third aunt have this sword at home? This morning, just the three of you Taoist priests passed through our Chawan Village, and the murder weapon is here, and there is no room for denial! ”

Clematis's face was like ashes, and he fell softly at the base of the wall, muttering in his mouth: "How come, how can there be a seven-star sword here?" It's not my sword......"

Someone saw the three of them having breakfast at this house, and found the corpse about half an hour later, and threw a bloody seven-star sword at the scene, this kind of sword is generally used by Taoist priests to make weapons, plus only three Taoist priests passed through Chawan Village today

-- It is simply flawless evidence, human and material evidence, one link after another, with these evidences, the master and apprentice of the clematis had to wait for the state government to be punished, and the criminal department approved the red, and the autumn queen opened the knife and beheaded him.

Qin Lin wrapped his palm with a handkerchief and gently picked up the sword to observe.

Seeing a half-sized young man messing with the murder weapon at the scene of the murder, some villagers wanted to say something, but Niu vigorously glared at him, and the villagers had to swallow the words back into their stomachs and let Qin Lin investigate the scene.

Qin Lin took the sword and seemed to want to poke the corpse, and after comparing it, his expression became strange, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What, there's something wrong with this sword?" Lu Yuanzhi rubbed his nose, in his eyes, this seven-star sword is very normal, the handle is inlaid with white jade, the copper gold-plated sword grid, the sword body is green and oily for some years, it looks cold and sharp, and the brand-new fish skin scabbard is thrown aside.
