Chapter 17: The Truth.
After catching Cui Ziming, everyone gathered in the main hall of Chunyang Palace, Zheng Lin looked at Xiaoya and said.
In fact, these two murders date back to a thousand years ago, when a total of eight people were compiled with a hundred family names, a total of 443 surnames were recorded, and the surnames of eight of them were ranked first, and the surnames of these eight people were Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Cui. But on the day when the hundred family names were introduced, there was a change, and the Cui family was originally supposed to be ranked eighth, but it was replaced by the Wang family. At that time, Cui's name was Cui Wenli, a great general, after knowing this, he was furious and asked other people who compiled the surname of the hundred families, and after understanding, he learned that it was only because the royal surname at that time was Wang, and one of the princes ordered the surname Wang to be ranked first. After knowing the truth, Cui Wenli actually spent three years planning his murder plan, three years after the launch of the hundred family names, people gradually forgot about it, three years later, Cui Wenli was the first to kill Zhao, and, taking away his head, it became a headless case, and then he used the strokes of the first eight surnames to kill people in order not to let others discover this rule, so it became Zhao, Qian, Zhou, Zheng, Wu, Li, Sun, Wang, if my guess is right, Senior Brother Cui should be Cui Wenli's descendant, right? ”
Cui Ziming laughed and said: "It's nonsense, can you slander me just by your surname and then use the legend of a thousand years ago to talk about things?" Don't forget, Zhao Rui and Qian Chaosheng's cultivation and martial arts are above me, how can I kill them? ”
The corners of Zheng Lin's mouth showed a hint of curvature, and said: "Because, they didn't resist at all, it should be said that they didn't have time to resist, because you didn't kill them with a sword, but with wire, and the same was true of the murder case in the town school ten years ago, all of which were put into the neck of the deceased with wire, suffocated to death, and then cut off his head with a sword, so the head of the deceased could not be found at the scene." ”
"Then let me ask you, they all died in the secret room, everyone saw it, the windows are closed, the doors are locked, the windows have no signs of being pried, how can I kill them and go out and close the door?"
Cui Ziming still didn't seem to admit that he had killed someone, Zheng Lin glanced at Xiaoya again and said.
"It's very simple, because you are a member of the Baiye Clan, just like Cui Wenli a thousand years ago, the Baiye Clan, each clansman will be born with a birthmark of a leaf on his left arm, and this birthmark gives them a special ability, night vision! Even in the darkness of the night, you can see everything in front of you. You use this special ability to hang the wire on the beam in advance, and then tie it to the branch outside from the window, because you know exactly when the two will do their homework, so you hang the wire above their heads, and when they do their homework, you can put down the wire, trap their heads, and easily kill them outside, and then cut off their heads with your sword. In the final step, the latch is inserted through the window with a needle and thread to complete the murder in the closed room. ”
Cui Ziming clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful, what you said is just one-sided words, it's just speculation." ”
Zheng Lin suddenly grabbed Cui Ziming's left hand, lifted his sleeve, and sure enough, there was a birthmark with a special leaf on his arm, Zheng Lin said to Rui: "Uncle Yu Rui, please go and see if there are wire strangulation marks on the beams and window roofs of Zhao Rui and Qian Chaosheng's room, and there should also be trees outside their rooms, and... Small holes in windows and pinholes in door latches. ”
Yu Rui nodded, and left the hall, Cui Ziming hurriedly said: "Even if I can do what you just said, I can't do it in such a short time, and besides, I don't have a wire at all, you are slandering." ”
Zheng Lin walked up to Xiao Ya and said with a smile: "Of course you can't do so much alone, because you still have a helper, Sister Xiao Ya!" She should be your sister, the kitchen was renovated some time ago, and the remaining wire is gone, I think, it should be taken away by Sister Xiaoya, and she is also from the Baiye clan, Cui Hanya! When everyone saw the birthmark on Xiaoya's arm, they were surprised. ”
Li Wusheng frowned and said, "Xiaoya... So you..."
Cui Hanya walked up to Cui Ziming, knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have hidden it from you for so many years, yes, everything was done by us, this is the revenge of our Baiye clan!" No one can stop us, and now that we have been caught by you, if we want to kill or chop us, listen to it. ”
At this time, Yu Rui happened to come back and confirmed the facts that Zheng Lin said, and Zheng Lin sighed.
"In fact, your biggest failure is to believe in the nonsense of the revenge of the Baiye clan, the special ability of the Baiye clan is enough for you to do something, instead of committing crimes here, the compilation ranking of the hundred family names is really that important? Is it necessary to kill so many people for the sake of ranking just a thousand years ago? Elder Xiao! ”
Elder Xiao, who originally said that the murder was a headless soul asking for his life, walked out and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a child of destiny, even I have found it for you." ”
The reason why Zheng Lin found him was because of Xiao Ya, one night, Zheng Lin saw that Xiao Ya had secretly looked for Elder Xiao, and there was a conversation between them, so Zheng Lin was able to involve them all, which solved the truth of the murder.
Li Wusheng was puzzled: "Elder Xiao, what's going on?" ”
Suddenly, Elder Xiao lifted his sleeves, and his left arm actually had the same birthmark as the Cui brothers and sisters, and Elder Xiao smiled bitterly.
"How dare you disobey the orders of your ancestors! Ten years ago, I killed eight of my students, and then hid in the Chunyang Palace, without going down the mountain once, just to let my two children fulfill the ancestors' will ten years later, and each Baiye clan will kill eight people in their lives, Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang. As long as it's these eight surnames, it doesn't matter who you kill, but this time, you've finally found out. Master! The child is innocent, all the sins are in me, the old man begs you, let the two of them go, the old man is willing to pay for the crime with his life! ”
After saying that, Elder Xiao suddenly pulled out his sword, pierced his heart, and died on the spot.
"Daddy!"
Cui Ziming and Cui Hanya burst into tears, hugging Elder Xiao's corpse tightly, Elder Xiao's real name is Cui Fang, the teacher in the town ten years ago, who would have thought that he would actually kill his own students. When everyone was sorry, suddenly Cui Ziming pulled Cui Hanya out of the hall, everyone hurriedly chased out, on the edge of the cliff in the north of Lotus Peak, the brother and sister were cornered, and finally stopped, behind them, is the Huashan Abyss, bottomless, but it is said that there is a monster locked under the Huashan Abyss, but I don't know if it's true or not, Li Wangsheng looked at the brother and sister and shook his head.
"Don't be obsessed anymore, come back, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen, your father has atoned for your sins, son, don't be stupid anymore."
Cui Ziming wiped his tears, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Uncles and uncles, all of you are in the same door." Our brother and sister know that we have committed a terrible crime, and now that our father is dead, it is time for us to put an end to this farce! Senior Brother Zheng Lin, I will have a good time with you in the next life! ”
After speaking, the brother and sister jumped into the abyss, Li Wusheng shook his head and said, "The world says that heaven is good, but there is still a grudge left in the dynasty. That's it, let's all disperse, maybe this is the best destination for their Hundred Nights. ”
When everyone left, Li Wusheng looked at the cliff and sighed: "I hope that you two brothers and sisters will do more good deeds in the future and atone for your sins!" ”
At the bottom of the abyss cliff of Huashan, Cui Ziming and Cui Hanya looked at Master Xuanzhong in front of them suspiciously, and asked, "Why?" ”
Xuan Zhong smiled.
"Amitabha, Zheng Lin's little benefactor has already calculated that you will jump off the cliff here, so he discussed with Li Zhangmen to let me wait for you here, this place is the abyss of Huashan, behind you, there is a cold pool iron prison, the iron prison locks a monster, Li Zhangmen punished you to guard the monster here for a year, a year later, come to Shaolin Temple to find me, from then on you are no longer Cui Ziming and Cui Hanya, I hope you will know how to repay your kindness, do a lot of good, good and good."
After Xuan Zhong finished speaking, the person disappeared, and the two Cui Ziming brothers and sisters looked up at the air, not knowing what they were thinking.
