Chapter 157 There is a case within a case

After Chen Mengsheng sent away Zhu Xiuhua's soul, his heart was extremely heavy, if he met an adult, he could still keep his soul by his side, so that the soul could see his grievances by Zhaoxue, but it was too cruel to let a child who didn't know anything go through another death, and the case of twenty-five years had a new discovery, as long as he could find out who buried Zhu Xiuhua's body, he could find the culprit behind the scenes......

Zhang Ao and Shangguan Yanran waited outside the door for a few minutes, and when they saw Chen Mengsheng open the door and came out, they were relieved, Shangguan Yanran saw Chen Mengsheng's face solemn, and knew that he had encountered an unjust case again, Zhang Ao asked impatiently: "Big brother...... Big brother, do I have any of this house...... I...... I'd better return it...... I'm scared of the dirt in the house."

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang, there is nothing dirty in this house, it's just people's hearts, alas, you don't have to be suspicious anymore, live in peace, I have to do something while the sky is still bright," Zhang Ao didn't understand what Chen Mengsheng was going to do in such a hurry, but with Chen Mengsheng's speech in the house just now, Zhang Ao vaguely knew that Chen Mengsheng had already extinguished the ghost in the house, Zhang Ao wanted to chase Chen Mengsheng out, but when he thought about it, he felt quite evil, forget it, or stay here in peace......

Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran went out of the ancient street and stopped a taxi that was still doing business all night, Chen Mengsheng got into the car without saying a word, Shangguan Yanran knew that Chen Mengsheng must have thought of something, so he didn't bother him

After returning to the hotel in Suzhou City, Shangguan Yanran said obediently: "I know that you will rush back in a hurry to investigate the case with me, okay, now that I have returned to the hotel, you should be more careful yourself, don't act recklessly."

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said with a smile: " I only know now that there was a death in Guan Hebao's old house, and the murderer still doesn't know that Hu Cheng's family should still have a child back then, and that child should be the little girl who died unjustly, Qin Hui'er used to mention the button, I want to take advantage of the night to find out what Hu Cheng did in it, the two children in the fire have been identified, but the other two skeletons are missing, who killed the person who buried Zhu Xiuhua in the west of the city, I can only have clues by secretly investigating Hu Cheng's family......"

The golden rooster is dawning, the old city of Suzhou is welcoming a new day, the cold dew in the morning wet Chen Mengsheng's clothes and pants hidden on the roof, Hu Cheng's house is a standard Jiangnan compound, with the front house in the courtyard, the main house is lined up one after another, Chen Mengsheng is lying on the roof, I don't know where to start, when the sky is bright, Hu Cheng's wife Xu came out of the main house to wash rice and boil porridge

The naughty fool should be the little guy who lives with Xu's sleepy face, got up to wash his face and brush his teeth in the patio, Xu finished boiling porridge, and ordered Messy to go to the side room to call Hu Cheng out for breakfast, and muttered a handful of soybeans and went into the side room

There was nothing wrong with this, but Chen Mengsheng watched Xu on the roof, and the breakfast he prepared was definitely more than three people, Hu Cheng could only start eating breakfast after Hu Cheng got up, Hu Cheng's grandfather and grandson finished eating breakfast, Xu confessed a few words of nonsense, and Hu Cheng took Hu Cheng to school to be obedient at school, and when Hu Cheng walked away, Xu made a pot of porridge in the stove pot and quietly walked into the small courtyard behind the patio, Xu looked nervous, groped around his waist, took out a key, and opened the courtyard door......

Xu entered the small courtyard, through a few wooden corridors, opened three or four doors before entering the last blue brick house, Xu put the kettle outside the hole in the door, sighed, turned around and walked, after a long time, stretched out from under the door of the house, a thin and swarthy hand, dry hands grabbed the thermos outside the door, swished back, Chen Mengsheng picked up the roof and looked stunned, sure enough, Hu Cheng is not kind, there is a big living person in the house, this is also a felony in the Southern Song Dynasty

Chen Mengsheng jumped into the patio, looked up, just wanted to knock on the door to ask, he smelled a disgusting stench, Chen Mengsheng frowned, raised his palm, split the wooden door, and flew out of the house, a large swarm of flies and gnats, Chen Mengsheng waved his hand again and again, and only then did he see the situation in the house clearly, and there was a ragged and unkempt person who was carrying a warm pot to eat

The people inside saw Chen Mengsheng suddenly open the door, frightened with his hands and pulled the hot rice porridge to drink, Chen Mengsheng was also stunned by the person in front of him, looking at the person's long hair, draped face, and tattered clothes, I don't know if it was a man or a woman, and when he was about to enter the house, he saw the person inside holding a kettle and placing it in the hole at the door, and the outsider curled up in the corner of the house to catch lice and fleas on his body to eat......

Chen Mengsheng drank loudly and said: "Who are you, how can you be locked up here, is it Hu Cheng and his wife who abuse you?"

Chen Mengsheng's repeated questioning made the person curled up in the room suddenly raised his head, revealing a row of charred black and disordered dog teeth, the man lifted his hair, which made Chen Mengsheng break out in a cold sweat, where is this human face, it is completely like a big cake, which makes people crumple and mess up, and has been trampled on a few times, from the forehead to the chin are sunken, the nose facing the sky is soft and collapsed in the center of the face, and the two eyes are only left with a thin slit, the eyebrows are long, and the upper eyelids can grow into this appearance, if you go out, you have to cause panic, no wonder you are locked in this room……

The man's snorting could barely hear a woman's voice, but she couldn't even say a word, Chen Mengsheng was tofu to this woman, she fell into the ash heap, she couldn't shoot or beat, there was no one else in the room except this woman, Chen Mengsheng looked at the woman in a daze, and didn't know what was going on with her

The woman may have drunk too much porridge, so she tore off her pants and put water in the room without any scruples, which made Chen Mengsheng faintly disgusted, and the woman was still scratching her own urine with her hand, "clucking...... Button...... Button...... Buttons, hurry up and play with me......" The woman smirked and drew circles, and her muffled voice already made Chen Mengsheng know

When the Xu family outside the door came to collect the kettle, he found that the door was wide open, and he scolded: "What a sin, what evil did we do in our previous life to give birth to such a wicked obstacle, why did you knock the door open again, how many times have you told you, you can't go out, there are many bad people outside who will laugh at your ......"

Chen Mengsheng saw that Xu was about to enter the house as he spoke, and jumped up to the door of the beam, Xu saw the crazy woman and quickly pulled her up, the woman was a little scared, and followed Xu to the dirty bed, Xu scolded and coaxed the woman to clean it a little

The woman suddenly grinned and said, "Button...... Button...... I want to play with me...... Mother...... What about the button-up man...... I'm not going to tie the buckle with a rope anymore, you let the buckle come back......"

Xu Shi shouted coldly: "I told you, why don't you remember, we don't have buttons here, if you talk nonsense, I'm going to beat you, you are my mother's button," Xu got up and took a stick from outside the door, came in, and whipped the woman who was crying, Chen Mengsheng shook his head, and took the opportunity to fall down and get out of the hut in a hurry

At six or seven o'clock in the morning, shops had already opened one after another on the ancient street, Guan Kun, the owner of the kidnapper restaurant on the street corner, came out with a limp and sleepy, opened the shop board, Guan Kun saw Chen Mengsheng and laughed: "Ah, why did the master come so early, come on, I am boiling noodles in the pot, and the master will make do with me to eat something, I have been looking for you for a few days."

Chen Mengsheng saw Guan Kun's face full of joy, he didn't want to be fake, so he followed Guan Kun into the kidnapping restaurant, Guan Kun brought out the newly brewed wine, and laughed: "I have rebrewed the wine with nectar dew according to the instructions of the master, this taste is really far better than before, the master, you sit down first, wait for me to go to the next noodles."

"No need, I originally wanted to ask about your third uncle, but now I have discovered something strange, have you ever heard of the children of Hu Cheng's family here," Chen Mengsheng now has no evidence to prove whether it was Guan Hebao who killed and set the fire, so he could only ask Hu Cheng around the corner

Guan Kun thought for a long time in a daze before he said: "I don't know about this, I heard the elders say that Hu Cheng couldn't even feed three children, and then he was instructed by Mo Jinkou to succeed a half-old boy, as for whether Hu Cheng gave birth to a child, I don't know, but two or three years ago, Hu Cheng's stepson died of a serious illness, and none of us here have ever seen that kid, so we didn't go to the funeral banquet."

Chen Mengsheng asked in surprise: "What Hu Cheng's stepson died two or three years ago, have you ever seen his body with your own eyes?"

Guan Kun took a breath and asked puzzledly: " The master and that kid know me, and the old neighbors I see every day on this street are not few, but I have never seen Hu Cheng's stepson, Hu Cheng's grandson is messing around, and I heard that it is the master who picked up the incense, and you can't tell outsiders that I told you about it, Hu Cheng's wife, the old woman who is a little confused, but she will cut people with a knife, I suspect that Hu Cheng's stepson, Bacheng, was killed by that crazy woman, otherwise with the financial resources of the Hu family, he would be cremated without inviting a mortuary and not looking at feng shui."

Chen Mengsheng contemplated and said: "Do you know where that stepson is buried?"

Guan Kunle said: "Look at the ashes you said are buried in the cemetery after the cremation, you don't want to go anywhere, master."

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said, "I have this intention, and I ask you to explain it."

"Then what, you get out of this street, take a taxi directly to the south, and you will arrive at the cemetery by three stops, and the people there don't know Boss Hu, you just ask them," Guan Kun pointed at the ancient street, Chen Mengsheng had already gone in the wind

When a person's fame is big, sometimes it is a tiring thing, Chen Mengsheng walked a few miles to the south, and after walking a few miles, he saw the dense stele forest in front of him, and went in to inquire about the tomb keeper, and he really knew Hu Cheng, and the tomb keeper also took Chen Mengsheng to the grave halfway up the mountain

Chen Mengsheng looked at the tombstone intently, and immediately knew that the unsolved case twenty-five years ago would finally see the light of day......
