That night, because of the rumors that the house was haunted, the Gu family used Xiaohong's personal drugging of Mrs. Huo as a handle, and treated her both soft and hard, forcing her to go to Mrs. Huo's yard at night to find out. But I didn't want her whereabouts to be discovered by Jing Si, who was collecting swill with Lu Song at the time......"

“…… Jing Si followed Xiaohong all the way to the side courtyard. She originally wanted to pretend to be a ghost to intimidate Xiaohong and vent her grievances for Mrs. Huo, but who expected that Xiaohong was already a thief, and when she heard the strange footsteps, she really thought that Mrs. Huo's unjust soul came back to take revenge on her...... He was frightened into cardiac arrest on the spot and died of a sudden heart attack. ”

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, "Then how did you come up with the method of Jing Si killing Xiaohong?" After all, this fact is too unbelievable......" she paused and frowned, "I have never heard you talk about it before. There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

Song Zixun couldn't help but be amused by her appearance, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I didn't even know before, how can I tell you?" Yesterday, it was also by chance that I accidentally discovered the truth of the 'ghost footsteps'. ”

He patiently explained, "Yesterday afternoon, before summoning Huo Yuliang and Gu to the side hospital, I tried to think of myself as the deceased and wanted to simulate what happened on the night of the crime...... But I didn't want to walk in before I could walk in, but strange footsteps sounded in my ears - there was no one beside me at that time, and the few officials I brought with me were also doing further surveys in Mrs. Huo's yard. ”

But the footsteps grew clearer and clearer from far to near...... It's like you're right next to you. ”

"It's from the courtyard......" Du Rongzhi frowned and pondered.

"Not bad." Song Zixun smiled, "Although I don't know what the truth is, it is true that these two cracks can transmit sound to each other. In fact, this phenomenon does not only occur at night, but during the day, people come and go, and even if someone happens to hear it, they will not pay attention to it at all......"

Du Rongzhi nodded, and couldn't help sighing, "Although this case turned out to be man-made, how do you know that Mrs. Huo has a spirit in the sky and wants to punish those who do evil?" Otherwise, with only two small cracks, how could there be such a bizarre effect? ”

Song Zixun smiled noncommittally, "We don't know any of this......

Du Rongzhi thought for a moment and continued with his words, "Yesterday you discovered this secret, so when the Gu clan was quibbling to the death, you deliberately pretended to be helpless and simply blamed everything on Mrs. Huo's 'revenant' - it was up to her to prove whether the Gu clan was really guilty......

Song Zixun chuckled, "Actually, it's not pretending...... After all, it has been a year and a half, and it is even more difficult to find the human and physical evidence at that time. ”

"But how can you be sure that meditation will come?" Du Rongzhi couldn't help but ask, "Or maybe she appeared, but Gu Shi was not frightened by the footsteps...... Wouldn't that be a wasted effort? As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a faint smile on Song Zixun's face.

Du Rongzhi was stunned, "...... Do you still have a future? ”

"Naturally, you have to prepare for both." Song Zixun said with a smile, "Actually, before the Gu family went to the side courtyard, I had already arranged for two officials to hide in the house-" Facing Du Rongzhi's stunned gaze, Song Zixun said with a smug expression, "So even if Jing Si didn't come last night, or the Gu family was not moved at all...... I also have a way to get her to speak the truth. ”

Du Rongzhi was dumbfounded when she heard this, "You...... You're really ......" I couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

Although she had long known that Song Zixun was not as serious and rigorous as she saw outside, this pretending to be a ghost forced the murderer to comply...... How could he figure it out!

He was actually very happy, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Do you think I'm strategizing and planning things like a god...... More powerful than Second Brother Chen? ”

“……”

Du Rongzhi said lightly, "Where is the expectation of a god...... she glanced at him, "I guess you definitely didn't expect Lu Song to take the blame for Jing Si." ”

Song Zixun was stunned for a moment, and calmly admitted, "You're right...... That's the only thing I didn't expect. ”

He said solemnly, "I also did not expect that she would be as smart as a quiet thought, but she would rather admit the guilt of murder than let an innocent person take her to suffer." ”

"......'Every time you slaughter more dogs, your heart is a scholar.'" Du Rongzhi sighed faintly and said softly, "Although Huo Yuliang has a lot of money and reads poetry and books, he doesn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and kills his wife and children; Jing Si Lu Song was born in a humble background, but in order to repay the kindness of his master, he tried to endure humiliation and burden; The other is desperate to kill for the sake of his beloved...... It can be seen that whether this character is reserved and valuable is far from being determined by wealth and knowledge. ”

Song Zixun bowed slightly, "Although the practice of meditation is not advisable, she has a heart to protect the Lord, which is indeed admirable." ”

"Yes......" Du Rongzhi muttered in a low voice, "How unfortunate Mrs. Huo is, the man who is attached to her spoils his concubine and kills his wife, causing her and the child in her womb to die innocently...... But how lucky she is to have such a loyal girl as Jing Si, so that she will never be wronged under the Nine Springs......"

Somehow, her eyes were inexplicably a little red, but she seemed to be completely ignorant and unconscious, and only said with a stunned expression, "Today, there is a coincidence, which has made Mrs. Huo aggrieved; But what about the ownerless lonely soul who can't argue with a hundred mouths...... After a few years, will someone do justice for her and give her justice......

The thick, almost suffocating sadness and despair in her tone made Song Zixun's heart tighten suddenly, he frowned, leaned over and held Du Rongzhi's hand, "Rong Zhi, what's wrong with you?" What is the blind to death, the ownerless and lonely soul...... I don't understand what you're talking about......"

Du Rongzhi turned her head and looked at him blankly. The stunned gaze seemed to be looking at a stranger...... No, maybe not even a stranger - he could even clearly feel the chill hidden in his eyes.

This is not the first time.

I don't know when, I don't know why, her emotions will suddenly get out of control......

He wasn't sure if it was the root cause of the hysteria......

Du Rongzhi looked at him blankly for a while, and then came back to his senses.

"No...... It's nothing. She shook her head in a trance, lowering her eyes to block the emotions at the bottom of her eyes, "I just listened to their story just now, and suddenly I felt a little emotional......"

Song Zixun looked at her pale, almost transparent, stepped forward and hugged her sideways, "Rong Zhi, I don't like you to be so sentimental...... he paused, and said very seriously, "You must know that it is just someone else's life, and it has nothing to do with you and me." ”

Du Rongzhi obediently leaned into his arms and closed her eyes hard, "I understand......"
