What can human hair do other than make wigs?

This has become a big question in Xing Ruyi's mind. Before he could ask Yin Yuan clearly, Chang Tai had already seen them and walked over to this side.

"It's freezing this day, why did you come here?"

Although Chang Tai said this to everyone, his eyes stayed on Xing Ruyi's body, and when he saw that she was wrapped quite tightly, he relaxed a little and pointed to the excavation site just now: "There are all the victims' corpses densely below, and it is estimated that they are seven or eight layers thick." It's the first layer that's being dug now, and the further back you go, the more smoky the smell becomes. You'd better find a well-ventilated place to stand, or you'll be uncomfortable later. ”

"What about Hui Niang's parents-in-law?"

There were many people in the courtyard, and in addition to the original guests, the people who heard the news in these ten miles and eight villages also came to see the excitement in the middle of the night. For a while, the firelight was connected, and it became more and more uncomfortable for people's eyes. Xing Ruyi squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, but he didn't see Hui Niang's pair of in-laws. Of course, even if she saw it, she might not be able to recognize it. In the middle of the night, even if there are more torches, people's faces will look a little blurry.

"When I was first arrested, there was a bit of a commotion, especially Huiniang's mother-in-law, who was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp." Chang Tai pointed to the people standing in the courtyard: "Do you see those people standing in the shadows?" They are all the original residents of this small courtyard. I just glanced at it, and there were many important criminals of the court who had disguised Qiao Zhuang, as well as some outlaws. I was worried that there would be another mess, so I asked the officials to bring those two people back first. ”

Repeat offenders at the court? Fugitive!

Xing Ruyi looked at the gang of people, shook his head, and felt more and more that Hui Niang's in-laws were bold enough to even dare to fight these people's ideas. It's also because Brother Chang had the foresight to let the officials take the two away from the scene in advance, otherwise with this excavation posture, no one would be able to smear the two of them. Dare to use killers under the noses of outlaws, those two are also human talents.

"And who are they? Is it possible for Big Brother Chang to bring them back together? Xing Ruyi swept at the group of residents with the corner of his eye.

"Brother Chang thought, but at this time, he can only pass in his mind. You stand far away, and you can't see the eyes of those people clearly, each with a fierce light, not to mention the murderous aura all over your body. At the moment, it's none of their business, and they don't want to cause more trouble, but once the officials set their eyes on them, you see, if not a river of blood in this small courtyard at that time, it will be full of devastation. This is not Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and those officials are just on errands to eat, and they catch a petty thief on weekdays, and when facing these people, they don't have the slightest combat effectiveness. Even if he reluctantly made a move, it was only another innocent life. ”

"Master Chang can see it." Li Mao came out of the crowd: "People, I have accompanied those big brothers to send them back to the yamen." According to Chang Daren's orders, men and women were separated, and they were all on death row, and the news was not leaked. It's just that even if you seal the tongues of those big brothers, I'm afraid you won't be able to seal the people in front of you. I estimate that before dawn, the news of the arrest of Huiniang's in-laws will be able to reach Yunzhai. If it is spread to Yunzhai, Hui Niang's Xianggong will not be able to know it. ”

"Why do you want to hide the news, is it because you are afraid that Yunsheng will escape?"

"I'm not afraid." Chang Tai took over: "Judging from the evidence we have so far, Yun Sheng is at most an insider. If he lied that he had left home when he was a teenager and that he didn't know anything about the family, we wouldn't have done the same. This Yunsheng is not stupid, if he hears the news and escapes tonight, he will be convicted of his crime, it is better to pretend not to know, and he can also give himself a statement that his family has kept in the dark. ”

"If this is to examine the corpse and analyze the cause of death or something, I can still make do with some help, as for this analysis of the murderer's motive for killing, the trajectory of psychological activities or something, or Brother Chang, you are more expert." Xing Ruyi took a few more steps forward: "With so many victims, even if it is left in the entire Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a sensational enough case, and these guests in front of us are very likely to become the next target of the murderer." As the victim and the party who needs to be protected by the yamen, I think Brother Chang should invite them all back openly and to assist in the investigation and investigation of the case.

Of course, for those relevant figures who refuse to cooperate, as an official government, they should not be reluctant, but at least until this case is understood, they must stay here and not move around at will. Besides, with so many corpses, it is impossible not to alarm them. I don't know much about the style of the government and the imperial court, but in such a serious case, if you apply for the transfer of troops, is it possible? ”

Hearing the word troop transfer, Chang Tai's eyes lit up. He quietly stretched out his thumb to Ruyi, turned to a servant next to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Mother, don't you want to wipe out those people?"

"That's not true, I just think that those people have finally come together, and if they are just let out, I don't know how many people will be harmed in the future. Even if you can't catch them all, at least catch one less one. Xing Ruyi pulled his clothes, turned his head to look at the fox, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Besides, the mother only mentioned one or two sentences. In the final analysis, the mother is just a flat-headed commoner, and as for the arrest of the criminal, it is up to the people in the government to make a decision. It's just that if we can get some benefits along the way, it won't be in vain that we came here tonight. ”

"That's right, so many court felons, if all of them are caught, Uncle Chang's contribution is indispensable. Even if the great merit is taken away by those who are officials above, the remaining small credit is enough for Uncle Chang to be promoted to one level. ”

"I don't care if I get promoted or not. It's just that what Ruyi just said is very reasonable. It is rare for so many court felons and outlaws to gather together, and if we watch them leave like this, it is difficult to explain to the people who have been hurt. ”

"After talking about it for a long time, I still don't know what the cause and effect of this case is? With so many victims, it must not have been killed for a day or two, didn't the villagers who lived nearby have not noticed it in the slightest, and they have not gone to the government to report the case? ”

"If you say that you are unaware, it is impossible, just ordinary people, who want to be idle and have nothing to do, and invite trouble for themselves. Just now, when I ordered the servants to take down Hui Niang's in-laws on the spot, I heard a child muttering beside me, saying that he had known that these two people were murderers. I asked him why? He said that more than a year ago, he had seen Hui Niang's in-laws throw a naked man into a pit at the back of the village to bury him. We've found the bodies, and there's more than one in this yard. ”

"There are witnesses, and they also know the murderer and the burial scene, and it is impossible for the child not to tell his father and mother such a thing. Brother Chang, didn't you ask his father and mother on the spot, why didn't you report to the official? ”

Before the child could finish speaking, his mother squeezed out of the crowd in a panic, saying that the child was frightened, talking nonsense, and taking people away. Tell me, is it still necessary for me to ask, Brother Chang? Chang Tai looked at Xing Ruyi helplessly: "It is said that wicked people are terrible, but if you think about it, these honest people who have witnessed their crimes but choose to deliberately conceal them are even more terrifying." Because they always feel that as long as they cover their eyes, plug their ears, and close their mouths, they can have peace in the world and stay away from these terrible truths. But in fact, they are aiding the abuse in their own way. If this evil had been exposed sooner, perhaps there would not have been this pile of bones in front of us. ”

As he spoke, the bones in the corpse pit had been excavated several layers, and even those who were still standing in the courtyard had fled outside the courtyard one by one.

The fox knew Ruyi's temperament, and when she encountered such a big case, she inevitably had to come to her to take a look.

"Know your temper, but be more careful when examining the body."

"I know, don't worry, even if I don't have ghost arts, I'm still going to be punished."

Xing Ruyi winked at the fox, then made another grimace, then turned around again, tightened the big on his body, and carefully walked through the corpses in the courtyard step by step, and walked to the corpse pit. The people in charge of exhuming the bodies were not from the government, but like villagers hired from the neighborhood, and although they all covered their mouths and noses with cotton cloths, their arms and calves were exposed because of their work.

These villagers look like they are poor people who rely on coolies to eat, otherwise who would want to do this kind of work of exhuming corpses in the middle of the night, but the corpse pit is not an ordinary pit, even if it is fully protected, there is still the possibility of being infected with corpse gas, not to mention that these villagers in front of them simply covered their mouths and noses, and exposed their arms and legs to the air.

As the human body sweats, the pores will also open, and these corpse qi will penetrate deep into the bodies of these villagers along the open pores, and within two days, they will be poisoned and cause new chaos.

"Stop! Stop, all of you! Xing Ruyi didn't bother to check on the corpses in the pit, but walked up to the villagers first and told them to stop what they were doing. The expressions of the villagers were a little numb, and some even didn't even look at Xing Ruyi, but only turned over the bones in the corpse pit. For them, if they dig up a single corpse, they can get more reward.

The punishment was like an opinion, and he was also anxious, not caring that there were still layers of rotting or rotting bones in the corpse pit, so he pulled up the corners of his skirt and jumped in.

"Stop! Stop! Do you know that this is not going to work? Xing Ruyi grabbed a villager's arm: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" This is the corpse pit, and the corpses here are all accumulated over the years of adulthood, and they are all poisonous. ”

Hearing the word "poisonous", the villagers' originally numb faces finally changed a little.
