Shen Daochang said that the murderer was a ghost, which made the faces of the people around him change, and they all looked at the city lord, but the city lord had a righteous face, and seemed to not believe what Shen Daochang said.

"What did the ghosts do? Does the Taoist have any evidence? This wound alone can't confirm the identity of the murderer. The lord said.

"My lord, I think the murderer's purpose should be to steal the Zihe car, this kind of thing is useless to ordinary people, only useful to ghosts." Shen Daochang said.

"What the ghosts say is that the strange power is chaotic, it is not credible, this official has read the sage book since he was a child, and the old master taught us this, saying that it is a ghost killing people, I don't believe it." The lord of the city said solemnly.

"Your Excellency is right, the murderer is not a ghost, but a human." Lin Tianyang said with a timely fist.

Hearing Lin Tianyang's words, Shen Daochang's face changed, he glanced at Lin Tianyang viciously, and asked without being yin or yang: "Since you said that it was not ghosts and ghosts who killed people, but people who killed people, what evidence do you have?" ”

"The evidence is the wound, you just said that the wound is smooth, it is a sharp weapon, this is true, you are right." Lin Tianyang said disdainfully, and then said to the city lord: "My lord, look at the wounds of the deceased. ”

Lin Tianyang showed the wound of a deceased person to the city lord and the others, and then said: "This wound is smooth, it is indeed made by a sharp blade, but the decay rate and atrophy rate of this wound are the same as ordinary wounds, if it is a ghost killing, the wound will definitely be infected by ghost qi, the decay rate of the wound will be accelerated, and it will turn black, and it will be accompanied by black gas lingering, there are no wounds of these three people, which shows that the murderer is not a ghost, but man-made." ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Tianyang asked the servant, "This big brother, am I right?" ”

The puppet nodded and said, "That's true, I've been doing it for fifteen years, and I've seen ghosts kill people, and I can be sure that this murderer is not a ghost, but a human." ”

Hearing this, Shen Daochang's face changed, and he said angrily: "You ordinary people, of course you can't see that this murderer is a ghost, since you don't believe me, then I don't care, you will ask me one day." ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Daochang walked out angrily.

"Lord of the City, you should send someone to follow him and see where he goes." Lin Tianyang said.

The city lord was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to the official beside the catcher: "You go and follow him, don't let him find out." ”

The official answered and went out.

Lin Tianyang clenched his fists to the city lord and said, "My lord, what I said just now is only half of what I said, there should be two murderers, one is a human, and the other is really a ghost." ”

Hearing Lin Tianyang's words, the city lord's face changed, and he looked at Lin Tianyang and said, "Are you playing this mansion?" ”

"Don't dare, please look here, my lord." Lin Tianyang said, and then showed the ghost handprints of the two corpses to everyone.

"We didn't move the third body, and we should have it." Lin Tianyang said.

Hearing this, he immediately went over to check, and sure enough, there was a pitch-black ghost handprint on the back of the corpse.

Seeing these ghost handprints, the city lord's face turned pale, and at this time he had to believe that there were really ghosts and monsters in this world.

"How can the words of a saint be false? The sage said that there are no ghosts in this world, which is impossible. The lord of the castle said to himself.

"My lord, the words of the saint are right, but you are wrong in your understanding." Chen Susu said.

"Did I understand it wrong? This is how the world understands, is it wrong for the world? The lord asked.

"Of course it's wrong, if we learn all the things of the saints, we will also become saints, but we are now an ordinary person, and we can't tell how far away from the saints is." Chen Susu said.

Hearing this, the city lord was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "According to what you said, what is the correct understanding?" ”

When Chen Susu heard this, he said: "The reason why saints are called saints is because they are all beyond everything, all things in the world and even all living beings are equal in the eyes of saints, and in their eyes there is no distinction between gods, immortals, people, and ghosts. Personally, I think that this god is just the mind, and since he has not forgotten his original intention, just like you now, he has kept his own heart and done things for the people wholeheartedly, which I think should be the meaning. ”

"As for adults not believing that there are no ghosts in this world, this is also normal, because adults have not seen it, and some can't accept it, if adults see it a few more times, they can get used to it."

Hearing Chen Susu's words, the city lord fell into deep thought, and Lin Tianyang leaned on Chen Susu's ear and asked, "Where did you get these words from?" ”

"I made it up." Chen Susu replied in a low voice.

Lin Tianyang nodded and stretched out his thumb to Chen Susu.

"That's right... The city lord suddenly said loudly, then bowed deeply to Chen Susu, and said, "I, Yang Changhe, have been taught!" ”

The city lord stood up and continued: "What you said is reasonable, what the sage said is right, it's just that our realm is not enough, and if we can't reach the realm of the saint, we can't understand the meaning of the saint. ”

"Your Excellency, you have come to your senses!" Chen Susu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your advice, otherwise, I'll continue to be confused." Yang Changhe said with a smile, and then clasped his fists with Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu and said, "Both, I ask you to stay and help me solve this case, not for me, but for the sake of these deceased people, their family masters, and the people of the city." ”

"The city lord is polite, we are here to solve the case." Chen Susu said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!" Yang Changhe saluted the two people as he spoke, and the head catcher and the servant next to him also saluted the two people together.

"My lord, you're welcome, you better go out and comfort those family members, in order not to leak the news, don't talk about the things here, just comfort them, tell them that they will tell them if there is progress." Chen Susu said.

"Okay, I'll go and appease them personally, if you have any needs, just tell Master Zhao and Ma Zhutou, and they will meet all your requirements." Yang Changhe said.

"Yes!" The master answered with the head catcher.

"Okay, let's go out and talk about it, the corpse gas here is a bit heavy, and it's not good for you for a long time." Lin Tianyang said.

"Okay, I'll go and appease those families first, prepare what you need first, I'll be back soon." Yang Changhe said.

When everyone went out of the room, Yang Changhe went to appease the family members, and Lin Tianyang and Chen Susu discussed with the master and the head catcher how to solve the case.

"Two mages, if you have any ideas, just say it, and let's do what we can do." Master Zhao said to Lin Tianyang.

"In this way, then it will be troublesome for Master Zhao to catch the head with the horse, you should hurry up and check how many pregnant women there are in the city, and after dinner, bring them all to the yamen, and for the sake of safety, invite a few Lang Zhong to come over." Lin Tianyang said.

Master Zhao and Ma Zhutou both nodded, called a few people next to them, gave a few orders, and let them do it.

"Find another family with pregnant women, let them cooperate with us, and we will give them a lure into the urn." Lin Tianyang said.

"You don't want me to go, do you?" Chen Susu asked.

"Of course it's you, it's the most suitable place for you to go, don't worry, brother, I will always protect you." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

Soon after, Yang Changhe and Yang City Lord came to join Lin Tianyang and them, and after listening to Lin Tianyang's strategy, Yang Changhe was also very satisfied, after all, there is no other good way now, relatively speaking, this is also a good way.

What everyone didn't expect was that before dinner, Daoist Shen came back again, saying that he had figured it out, as long as the government gave him a few hundred taels of silver, he could help catch the murderer.

But at this time, the official who followed him had come back to report, this Shen Daochang is usually a liar, cheating on eating and drinking, he went to the casino after leaving the yamen before, and soon lost a fine light and owed the casino more than 200 taels of silver, he came to the yamen this time to cheat money.

After knowing his purpose and nature, Yang Changhe immediately asked people to blast him out, and asked the officials to issue a notice to Shen Daochang's personality, so that everyone should not be deceived by him again.

After dinner, dozens of pregnant women were taken to the government and lived in the government, but there was also a pregnant woman from the family who did not come, the family's surname was Qian, and the head of the family was a very stubborn old man, who just didn't let his daughter-in-law go to live in the yamen, and scolded all the officials who came to invite him, and even Ma Zhutou was scolded away, and even the neighbors around him persuaded him, but he didn't listen.

The sky is getting darker and darker, especially today is the first new moon, there is no moonlight, it is the darkest night in a month, and there are several homicides, which makes this night even more strange.

Slowly, the lights in the city went out, and most of the people fell asleep, and only a few were still busy with what they hadn't done.

In a nice house, a man stood in the middle of the room, and across from him was a chair, an empty chair.

Suddenly, a black gas came out from under the chair, and this black gas condensed on the chair, and then a man dressed in black with a pale face slowly appeared.
