Chapter 748: Arrest the Suspect
The village was a dilapidated house, and half of the east wall collapsed, blocked by branches and straw, so that the house was not buried by the wind and snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Canghai naturally didn't believe that the corpse could walk, and the corpse suddenly disappeared, and there was only one explanation, that is, someone had secretly taken away the corpse.
If the two officials did not lie and did not hear any movement during the night, it is very likely that the corpse was Yizhuang that someone had made out of this broken wall.
But who would be interested in two corpses?
Unless, these two corpses have an extraordinary meaning to that person.
And at this moment, Zhou Chang led people to carry the body of the Dragon Temple to Yizhuang.
Liu Yang and the others looked panicked and followed closely.
"Childe, the body has been brought back." Zhou Chang said.
Li Canghai asked the body to be placed in front of Yizhuang and said to everyone: "Everyone, this corpse was found in the Dragon God Temple, I would like to ask you to identify it, whether you can recognize the identity of the deceased." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.
Liu Yang hesitated, leaned on crutches, and walked tremblingly to the corpse.
Just as he wanted to lift the coarse cloth covering the corpse's head, he was stopped by Li Canghai.
Li Canghai was worried that Liu Yang would not be able to bear such a tragic situation, so he reminded: "Uncle, this person was hit on the head by a stone statue and died, and his death was miserable, and he was already unrecognizable. ”
Liu Yang was stunned, he sighed, and stopped lifting the coarse cloth.
However, Liu Yang also noticed the white silk on the corpse.
Seeing the white silk, Liu Yang suddenly exclaimed.
"This ...... This white silk is related to the summer solstice! Don't...... Could it be that he is the summer solstice? Liu Yang exclaimed in disbelief.
At this time, a servant hurriedly ran over and said to Zhou Chang: "My lord, my subordinates have checked all the residents in the town, and no one is missing except for the summer solstice!" ”
"So, he's really the summer solstice? How so? Who was so vicious as to kill him in such a cruel way? Liu Yang exclaimed.
Not only Liu Yang, but all the people who came were stunned.
Li Canghai frowned, and now it was almost certain that the identity of the deceased was Lantern Chen's apprentice, Xia Zhi.
He raised his head, glanced at Luo Fu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Luo Teamzheng, what kind of enmity does Xia Zhi have with you, and you actually killed him?" ”
Luo Fu was tied up and said angrily: "Fart! I didn't kill anyone, you are framed! ”
Li Canghai glanced at him and said coldly: "Since you didn't kill anyone, let me ask you, where were you this morning?" ”
"I slept at home and didn't go anywhere!" Luo Fu said angrily.
"Oh? Someone clearly saw you leaving home and heading to the Dragon Temple! Li Canghai said lightly.
"You talk nonsense! It's freezing this day, what am I going to do in the Dragon Temple? The muscles on Luo Fu's face twitched involuntarily, and he yelled.
Li Canghai snorted and said, "You went to the Dragon Temple, naturally to kill the summer solstice." After a pause, Li Canghai continued: "If my guess is correct, Xia Zhi asked you to go to the Dragon Temple this morning, but you arrived one step ahead of him, you first took advantage of people's fear of cold, deliberately lit a bonfire under the god platform with stone statues, led Xia Solstice to warm up, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to knock down the stone statue and stone it to death." Am I not wrong? ”
When Luo Fu heard this, he was immediately furious.
"Nonsense! You're a bloody squirt! I've never been to the Dragon Temple, and I've never killed anyone! Luo Fu roared angrily.
"You said you didn't kill anyone? I would like to ask, why are there your shoe prints in front of the Dragon Temple? Li Canghai shouted coldly.
Luo Fu's face was a little ugly, he couldn't refute it, he had to admit that he had indeed been to the Dragon Temple, but he did not admit that he had killed someone.
"Okay, I'll admit I've been to the Dragon Temple. That's because I received a letter from Xia Solstice asking me to go to the Dragon Temple to talk to him. But by the time I went, he was dead, and I had nothing to do with it! Luo Fu shouted.
Zhou Chang snorted and said sharply: "Luo Fu, this official sees that you are an upright person, so he asked you to be the leader of this Fufeng Town, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing that people and gods are angry about!" Do you still want to deny it? ”
"My lord, I have been wronged! I didn't kill him, and when I went, he was really dead! Besides, I have no grievance with him, so why should I kill him? Luo Fu shouted anxiously.
Li Canghai stared at him and said coldly: "You killed him, naturally, to kill him." ”
"What's the mouth?" Luo Fu exclaimed.
"Last night, Xia Zhi came to Yizhuang to pay tribute to Lantern Chen, and said that he wanted revenge and something like that. The next day, he asked you to go to the Dragon Temple, and I have reason to suspect that the 'revenge' he spoke of was looking for you. In other words, you killed Lantern Chan and then made it appear that he had accidentally fallen to his death! This morning, he wanted to find a confront, but you were worried that the crime would be exposed, so you killed him, yes or no? Li Canghai shouted.
"Wronged! I was wronged! When the lantern Chen fell off the cliff, I stood with you, how could I kill him? Luo Fu shouted.
Li Canghai said coldly: "Lantern Chen died before he fell off the cliff, what we saw was just an illusion. This method, you think you can really hide it from me? ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other.
"Li Gongzi, what's going on? The lantern fell off the cliff, but we saw it with our own eyes, how can it be fake? Liu Yang asked incredulously.
"What you see with your own eyes may not be true. What's more, at that time, the kite was flying in mid-air, and it was in the blind spot. Which of you saw with your own eyes that the lantern on the kite was Chen? Li Canghai asked rhetorically.
Everyone looked at each other for a while and shook their heads.
At that time, they only vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure on the kite, but they didn't see it really, and everyone had a preconceived idea that the person on the kite was Lantern Chen, but no one saw the face of the figure.
"Li Gongzi, the more you talk about the old man, the more confused he becomes. If it weren't for the lantern on the kite, who would it be? Even if someone pretends to be a lantern, but if the kite falls, wouldn't the fake person also fall off the cliff and die? But no other bodies were found at the bottom of the cliff? Liu Yang asked suspiciously.
Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "I never said that someone on the kite faked the lantern Chen, in fact, the murderer used an extremely clever method to deceive all of us. The kite was flying down from the cliff, and we were below, and it was difficult to see that the murderer had strapped a paper dummy to the kite. ”
"What? Is there a dummy tied to the kite? This...... How is this possible? When Liu Yang heard this, he immediately exclaimed.
"It's hard to believe, but it's true, I found some kite skeletons and paper at the bottom of the cliff that would prove what I said was true." Li Canghai said in a deep voice. (To be continued.) )
