Chapter 6: The Murderer

When the sun was setting, Li Canghai was waiting in the mountain temple early in the morning, and everyone gradually came.

"Boy, what else do you have to say now, kill to pay for your life, left and right, take it for me!" Huang Mang saw Li Canghai from a distance, and shouted angrily.

When several soldiers answered, they immediately surrounded him and tried to tie him up.

"General, it's not sunset yet, how do you know I have nothing to say?" Li Canghai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Huang Mang snorted and said coldly: "General Ben has already given you a day, this is because you yourself didn't grasp the opportunity, and you can't complain about others." ”

Li Canghai was very calm, not panicked at all, he said lightly: "Does the general have to break his word?" Before the sun sets, how will the general know that I have not found the murderer? ”

At this time, Di Huai happened to arrive, he came to Li Canghai's side and asked, "Did you really find evidence?" ”

Li Canghai nodded heavily: "Calling everyone to come is to find out the real murderer in front of everyone." ”

Di Huai was a little surprised, and didn't believe that he could really find the murderer in one day, but he didn't show it, but said to him calmly: "This matter is at stake in your life, don't be careless." ”

After speaking, Di Huai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's start." ”

The two ignored Huang Mang during their conversation, as if he didn't exist, which made Huang Mang very unhappy, and he snorted vigorously while holding the hilt of his sword.

Li Canghai sorted out his thoughts and said: "I believe everyone wants to know what is going on in this case, who is the murderer, and what grievances do you have with the deceased?" But before we can do that, there are a few things we need to be cleared up. ”

"First, the motive of the murderer. Second, the footprints of the deceased. Third, how the murderer got in and how he got out. If these three things are solved, all problems will be solved. ”

No one spoke, and the crowd looked at him and listened.

Li Canghai stretched out a finger and said, "Let's talk about the first point first, the motive of the murderer. Everyone thinks of me as a murderer, it's nothing more than me at the scene of the crime, but have you ever thought that when I first arrived in Xiaoyang Village, I didn't even know that there was a temple in this village, let alone know your customs. ”

"Oh, what are they doing here?" Huang Mang asked with a gloomy face.

Li Canghai ignored him, but looked at the village elder and asked, "Do all the women here have to go to the temple for one night before getting married, so as to ask for the blessings of the gods?" ”

The village elder was a little stunned, not knowing what this had to do with the murder, but he nodded honestly.

This is the crux of the whole case, you can imagine why the murderer chose the time when the deceased prayed for blessings? Because, at that time, there was only one bride in the entire mountain temple. Li Canghai said.

"What do you want to say? Isn't he exculpating himself? Huang Mang glared at a pair of bull's eyes, and was quite angry at Li Canghai's rudeness.

Li Canghai shook his head: "I'm not exonerating myself, I can know this custom, and I know that the deceased must be from the village." ”

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, you must not find the murderer and deliberately frame the villagers in this village!" The village elder was full of anger and shouted tremblingly.

Li Canghai glanced at Di Huai, Di Huai touched his chin to stop the village elder's words, and motioned for Li Canghai to continue.

Huang Mang, who was sitting on the side, seemed to feel that his face had been trampled on the ground, and he said with a drooping face: "You have been talking for a long time, but you have not said the murderer, if you dare to play me, I will kill you." ”

Li Canghai is the kind of person who is threatened, he snorted, didn't look at him, and then said: "The murderer's motive involves another matter, I'm afraid everyone won't believe it if I say it now, I'll talk about this later." Now, let's move on to the second point. ”

Li Canghai led everyone into the temple, pointed to the pool of blood on the ground and said, "The footprints of the deceased, this is the core of the whole case." I know that some villagers have rumors that the dead did not blink to death, but the footprints of the dead and resurrected. In fact, all of this was designed by the murderer. ”

"Oh? How so? Di Huai asked with a frown.

He had also investigated the footprints, but he was always confused about how the deceased left footprints in a pool of blood after death.

"It's very simple, the murderer used some props to make the corpse have a 'big move'." Li Canghai clapped his hands as he spoke.

Di Feng immediately ran in with a rope, he followed Li Canghai's previous arrangement, bypassed the rope from the idol and the beam, and then lay down on the dry pool of blood with his arms straight, threaded the rope from his left arm to his right arm, and then tied the end of the rope into a slipknot on the rope.

Li Canghai briefly recounted what had happened, and then he walked up to the statue and pulled the rope hard, Di Feng was immediately hung up from the pool of blood, and was removed from the pool of blood little by little.

Everyone stared at everything in front of them in amazement, as if it was hard to believe that this was the truth.

"As you said, the murderer retreated to the shrine in the shoes of the deceased, but where did the murderer go after that? Could it be that he will not be able to penetrate the wall? Di Huai frowned and asked.

"Of course, the murderer can't go through walls, but he can drill holes. Because, there is a secret passage under this altar. Li Canghai patted the Shentai and said.

Di Huai was taken aback, and he hurriedly beckoned the officials to go up to find the secret passage, however, several officials searched for a long time and did not find the entrance.

Everyone looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, their faces full of puzzlement.

"This secret passage is very hidden, and the information agency that opened the secret passage is not here, I said it right, dumb iron." After Li Canghai finished speaking, he pointed at the dumb man and said.

The mute man was terrified in his eyes, and shook his hands in astonishment, as if he was very afraid.

"Actually, you're not dumb, you can talk, right?" Li Canghai ignored his timid eyes and asked sharply.

Dumb Tie shook his hand desperately and looked at the village elder as if asking for help.

"It was you who sneaked into the mountain temple at night and then raped and killed the dead, right?" Li Canghai's eyes were sharp, and he pressed step by step.

When the village elder saw Li Canghai persecuting a mute child like this, he suddenly trembled with anger, and he said tremblingly: "My lord, please be the master of the dumb child, he is obviously intimidating the dumb child!" ”

Without waiting for Di Huai to speak, Li Canghai sneered, he suddenly took out a package from his arms, opened the package, and many letterheads suddenly appeared inside.

When the dumb iron saw those letterheads, his face suddenly turned pale.

Huang Mang was also a little curious, and asked, "What are these?" ”

"These are love letters, and they tell a moving story."

Huang Mang frowned, and said coldly: "Story? I want a murderer, but you want to tell me a story? ”

"These stories can be said to be the cause of the case, that is, the motives of the murderer. If you don't want to hear it, you can leave here. Li Canghai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You!" Huang Mang was about to go crazy when he pointed at Li Canghai.

"Captain Huang, the official is the chief judge of this case, I hope Captain Huang will not delay the official to solve the case." Di Huai said in a slightly heavier tone.

Huang Mang snorted unhappily, glared at Li Canghai fiercely, and said, "If you want to say it quickly, if you are wasting my time, this captain will definitely not spare you!" ”

For this kind of reckless man who bullies, Li Canghai has no good feelings.
