Chapter 19: Cursed Murder
"My lord, I wonder what you can find?" Li Canghai stepped forward to stop him and asked.
The official looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What did this official find, do I still have to report it to you?" ”
"My lord is serious, the grass people just care about the case, not to mention that the grass people still have some clues ......." Li Canghai hurriedly said.
Before he could finish speaking, the official raised his chin and interrupted him: "This case is strange and inexplicable, everyone is suspected of murder, no one is allowed to leave here until the official returns!" ”
The official called to the butler of the Di Mansion and told him to watch over the people and not allow any of them to leave. After that, he left in a hurry with the servants.
"The official rank is not high, but the official authority is not small, even Miss Ben is regarded as a murderer, it is simply unreasonable." Di Qing, whose face was a little good-looking, wrinkled her small Yao arm and whispered very unhappily.
Li Canghai put all his mind on the corpse, he didn't care about the arrogance of the official, what he really cared about was the cause of death of the deceased.
There are no wounds, and the body is stiff, as if the soul has been directly hooked by the evil spirit. And the posture of the corpse, why is it so similar to the statue of the Senluo Temple, is it really a demon seeking revenge?
When Li Canghai was meditating, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, he found that the person who came was actually a team of officials, and the person who led the team was wearing an official robe, but he was no longer the person before.
This person has a long beard and a slightly dark appearance, while the man has a white face and no beard.
"My lord, who are you?" The housekeeper was a little puzzled, this was clearly two groups of people from before.
The man frowned slightly, and said, "This official is Yin Liangxiu of Luoyang Mansion, can anyone in your family be killed?" ”
The housekeeper nodded hurriedly and replied, "It turns out that you are the Lord Liang that the master often says, who is here just now?" ”
"Huh? There are still officials here? Liang Xiu asked in surprise.
"Back to my lordship, there is indeed a group of officials and officials, after they checked the scene, they said that they went back to find a priest to come to the autopsy, don't you know?" The butler asked a little inexplicably.
Liang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "When the official received the report, he hurried here and did not notify the other officials. What's more, he has already come with his own officials, so why should he send his officials first? ”
Li Canghai, who was pondering, suddenly buzzed in his brain, and he cried out in a lost voice: "It's not good, I've been fooled!" ”
So saying, he snatched the door and chased after him.
Seeing this, Di Qing also followed closely.
Li Canghai chased and secretly scolded himself for being careless, from the discovery of the body to the arrival of the officials, it was only a few teas.
And the government is far away from the Di family, not to mention two pillars of incense, and it is late at night, how could they come so quickly?
After discovering the body, they immediately came to the Di family, this kind of thing was too coincidental, as if they had known that the Di family would report the crime.
What's more, in the middle of the night, how could he be dressed so neatly when he was just called up to deal with the case. Li Canghai scolded himself secretly, he couldn't even see such an obvious flaw, he was so stupid as his grandmother's house.
Li Canghai chased for two streets, but he didn't even see half a figure, and he didn't stop until Di Qing caught up and asked him what was going on.
"You mean, the previous group of people were impersonating?" After listening to Li Canghai, Di Qing's surprised mouth couldn't close.
Li Canghai's face was solemn, he rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "This group of people took such a big risk, they must have found what they wanted in the clan hall, let's go back and check what is missing, and then make plans." ”
When the two returned to Di's house, Di Ying had already woken up from a coma and was talking to Liang Xiu with an ugly face.
Seeing the two coming back, Di Ying hurriedly asked what happened.
Li Canghai told what had happened and what he had guessed in his heart, and Di Ying immediately got up and went to the clan hall to check, fortunately, the items placed in the clan hall were recorded, and in contrast, he could know if anything was missing.
"Rest assured, this official has ordered his subordinates to investigate in the city, and it is so bold to dare to pretend to be an official of the imperial court!" Liang Xiu's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be very angry.
Li Canghai shook his head undeniably, since they dared to pretend to be court officials, they must have been prepared, but now I am afraid that it will be difficult to find out their whereabouts.
However, at this point, he didn't want to say more, but asked, "Since your lord has arrived at the clan hall, what have you discovered?" ”
Liang Xiu touched his chin, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "This official really can't see any flaws, judging from the situation at the scene and the posture presented by the corpse, this is indeed like a curse." ”
Li Canghai didn't speak, he touched his nose and fell into deep thought.
Curse killing? He naturally wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing, but how could the servant's corpse be explained?
There are no wounds, and the body is stiff, which is not at all connected with conventional methods of killing. What's more, the posture of the corpse was very similar to the stone statue he had seen in the Senluo Temple.
Just thinking about it, Di Ying had already hurried in.
"It's clear, there are three ways of the Martial Emperor's holy decree missing, and a jade turtle belt." Di Ying was sweating profusely and panting.
"Second brother, what are you holding in your hand?" Di Qing saw that he was holding an object in his hand, and asked with some curiosity.
"This is the ancestor's Chaowa, which was originally put together with the jade turtle belt, and the last time it was taken by your niece to play, it was thrown in my room. Fortunately, I didn't put it in the ** hall, otherwise this thing would have been stolen by thieves! Di Yingmo held the somewhat blackened Chao Wat and sighed.
"This thing is put together with the lost thing?" Li Canghai asked suddenly.
Di Ying nodded and said, "These are all things used by the ancestors back then, and as future generations, they should do their best to protect them." ”
"Can there be a rubbing of the Three Divine Decrees?" Li Canghai took Chao Wat from Di Ying's hand, looked at it, and handed it to Di Qing.
"This is nature, and all the decrees are left in rubbing. Mage, is it true that our Di family suffered this curse because we offended our ancestors! Di Ying thought of those eight blood words, and she trembled with fright.
Liang Xiu spoke at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Di, how can there be any ghosts in this world, don't be frightened by a few blood words, according to this official, this is just a murderer who is suspicious." ”
Li Canghai also nodded and agreed: "Yes, if there is really a curse to kill people in this world, then what is the use of a sword?" What's more, Di Gong is a benevolent and righteous person, how can he scare his descendants? ”
"If it didn't disturb the peace of the ancestors, how could they die?" Di Ying was a very awe-inspiring person, how could he believe his statement so easily.
Li Canghai pondered for a moment, and said in an unusually firm tone: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”
The soldiers were divided into three routes, Liang Xiu was responsible for finding the people who were pretending to be government officials, Di Ying was responsible for pacifying the old and young in the family, and Li Canghai was responsible for conducting a detailed examination of the corpses.
No one could have imagined that so many things would happen on this seemingly ordinary night, and I am afraid that it can only be summed up by the word 'treacherous'.
Li Canghai never dreamed that the original simple 'ghost hunting' would become so complicated and weird.
