"What about Niu Fugui and Niu's? has his own house, but why did he move to the Xie family's old house? Didn't they know it was a haunted house? ”

"What can you do? I didn't say it just now, no matter how terrible this ghost is, it is not as scary as the poor ghost comes. This Niu is rich and gambling, owes a lot of money to other people's gambling houses, and originally wanted to use his little daughter to pay off the debt, but Niu was stunned with a kitchen knife and scared the debt collector back. What is a gambling house? Can you do this loss-making business, can you spare the wealth of the cow? This Niu Fugui was forced to have no choice but to sell his family's house, and even the little tea left was used to pay off his debts.

If you don't have any money and you don't have a house, can't you find a place to live? The Xie family's house, although it is haunted, has not been inhabited for more than 100 years, and many places need to be repaired, but in the end, it is the yard of a large family, no matter how dilapidated, it is better than our house.

But he was also afraid, so he looked for the one closest to the outside, thinking that if something happened, people could escape in time. ”

"That's what you heard about that, too?"

"Isn't it?" The woman smiled embarrassedly: "This Niu Fugui owes the money to the gambling house, and he can't pay it back, so he can only sell the house and move to the ghost house to live, and our neighbors there know about it." Everyone is also curious, curious about what will happen to this Niu Fugui after living in the Xie family's ghost house? I was curious, and my eyes and ears watched and listened all the time, and I couldn't hide the movement of a big fart. But it's strange to say that after they moved in, it didn't stop well, and there was no more quarrelling. Who knows, if this doesn't happen, it will be a big one. ”

"I heard that the person who died in the Xie family's ghost house is not only Niu Fugui."

"I've heard about this, too. I heard that when the people in the yamen were cleaning up the scene, they also found other deceased. But it's not in this courtyard, and the ten ** are also beggars who went in to spend the night, and they were killed by evil ghosts. But it's not unusual, everyone just listens to it, and doesn't take it to heart. The woman said, and the detective craned her neck: "Oh, isn't that a regular catcher in the yamen?" I heard that after this Niu was arrested, he still stayed in the ghost house to investigate, and he didn't know what he had found. Look at his face, it's like he's possessed by a demon, pale and white. ”

Xing Ruyi looked up and saw that Chang Tai's face was a little abnormal. Zhou was also surrounded by a dark aura, and was about to open the ghost eyes to take a closer look, but Chang Tai had already seen her and walked over.

When he came to the front, he didn't speak, but directly took her hand and pulled her closer to the palace.

"Brother Chang?" Xing Ruyi hurriedly looked left and right in a panic, and after confirming that there was no fox breath, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Good manner, how can you hold my hand in front of so many people. I don't mind, but I'm afraid a certain fox will be jealous. ”

"I want you to help me see someone!" Chang Tai ignored Xing Ruyi's words, and instead led her to the side of the lobby.

In the unnoticed corner, there was a simple wooden stretcher, covered with a rough linen cloth, and under the linen cloth was like a corpse.

The sackcloth was lifted and there was a charred corpse. Based on the condition of the corpse, the following judgments can probably be made:

1. This is the body of a male, about 1.7 to 1.75 meters tall

Second, the age is around 30 years old, and the body is thin

3. The deceased was in a fist fighting posture, and there were signs of rupture of raw bones in the brain tissue in the cranial cavity, which is a common phenomenon caused by the heat of the long bone marrow and the brain tissue in the cranial cavity to produce water vapor, and it is also a general characteristic of the burned corpse.

4. The deceased did not show any signs of being hit by a heavy object before his death, but judging from the results of the respiratory examination, it should belong to posthumous cremation.

"Judging from the situation of the corpse, it should be cremated after death." Xing Ruyi simply came to a conclusion, got up, and glanced at the woman who was still kneeling in the lobby: "He is Niu Fugui, right?" That woman's father-in-law! ”

That's right, he is Niu Fugui, and the couple have been at odds all year round and often quarrel, but these days are surprisingly calm. Last night, one of the neighbors heard that there was an abnormality in the Xie family's old house, but he didn't pay attention to it because he was used to it. Until the dawn of the day, the Niu clan shouted for help, and when the neighbors arrived, a side room was already in ashes, and the cow's wealth was burned beyond recognition. Niu said that her husband was angry for a while, and after arguing with her for a few words, he rolled up the bed and went to sleep in the wing, but it was a fire in the wingroom that woke her up, so she immediately called for help, but it was still too late. Not only were the wings destroyed, but people also died. ”

"This Niu is lying!"

"Oh?" Chang Tai raised his eyebrows, but his expression became more and more tired.

Niu said that she had an argument with Niu Fugui for a few words, and Niu Fugui rolled up the bed and went to sleep in the wing, which is very likely to be false. When I was just outside the hall, I asked Niu Fugui and Niu's neighbor, and the neighbor also said that the couple did quarrel from time to time, but since they moved into the Xie family's old house, they have calmed down.

Although I don't know where the neighbor lives, I can infer from her words that her house is adjacent to Niu Fugui's house, which was sold for repayment because of gambling debts, and not far from the old house of the Xie family. The most obvious example is that the woman had hit a ghost for most of the day, and the place where the ghost hit happened to be in front of the main gate of the Xie family's old house, but her husband could hear her cry and came out to look for her in time.

According to the daily relationship between Niu Fugui and Niu's model, Niu's should swallow his anger, and once he quarrels, his neighbors must know about it. So there is no possibility, on the night of the crime, when they argued, the neighbors would not be able to hear. If you can't hear it, it can only mean that these two people have not had a big dispute, and it is not a big dispute, why did this Niu Fugui go to the wing room to sleep?

Also, Brother Chang also mentioned it just now, saying that a neighbor heard that there was a change in the Xie family's old house. Notice that he's talking about movement, not arguments. Xing Ruyi looked at Chang Tai's eyes: "There is another sentence, I think it is very strange." The neighbor said that he heard that there was an abnormality in the Xie family's old house, but he didn't pay attention to it because he was used to it, but he didn't pay attention to it because he heard the Niu couple arguing. So, what is the change that this Xie family's old mansion can make him accustomed to? Did you not pay attention to it, or was you afraid of the Xie family's old mansion, and you didn't dare to get up in the middle of the night to check! ”

"I'll ask Xiao Shengzi to ask again." Chang Tai said, getting up and walking outside.

Xing Ruyi only felt a cool breath coming, and the ghost eyes opened subconsciously, but saw Chang Tai carrying a woman on his back at some point.

The woman is dressed in a narrow sleeved short skirt and a long skirt, but her figure is the same as herself, which is not the standard of the current popular beauty in the Tang Dynasty, and she is relatively slender and thin. Her face was tightly attached to Chang Tai's back, and her slender hands were wrapped around Chang Tai's neck in a natural shape, but her legs were hanging down.

Xing Ruyi's eyebrows showed a little anger. This female ghost, dare to be arrogant in front of her, and dare to be bold to entangle Chang Tai, is this when she is a ghost trick all over the world, and when she is a ghost in the yang world, is it a joke?

With a flip of his right hand, he grabbed it directly towards the female ghost. The tentacles were wet, and when I looked at it again, the female ghost turned into a thin, wet piece of rice paper.

"What's wrong?" Chang Tai turned around and looked at Xing Ruyi puzzled: "Is there something to call me?" ”

"Nope!" Xing Ruyi crumpled the rice paper into a ball and hid it behind him, "It's just that Brother Chang, your spirit is not very good, and you are also a little absent-minded, so I want to ask you, has it been a long time since you rested?" Although this case is important, my body is even more important. In this huge Luoyang City, you are not the only one who can do errands, if you work so hard, the newly appointed Lord Xie may not pay you a few more salaries. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just that these days are busy, and I don't sleep very well. By the way, I was anxious just now, so there was a lot of abruptness, I hope you are happy, and I don't mind. ”

"What did Brother Chang say! Do you still think Ruyi is your sister? Xing Ruyi said, took a step back, and secretly used the ghost qi to absorb all the yin and evil qi that was still left on Chang Tai's body. Seeing that Chang Tai's face softened a little, he said again: "This Niu clan, what is Brother Chang going to do?" I just saw it when I was outside. The leader of the trouble, just those few people, it seems that someone organized it, but I don't know if the person behind the scenes is aimed at you or your upcoming Lord Xie. ”

"It's good for me, it's good for Master Xie, in short, they are all targeting our Jingshi Yamen. It's just that this Niu is very tight-mouthed, and she insists that she is wronged, and we can't find any other evidence to prove her at the scene. So, at the moment, there is some way to go. The result of the temporary detention may also cause some resentment and indignation, saying that our Jingshi Yamen is not conducive to handling the case. Although it cannot be ruled out that someone arranged behind the scenes and deliberately made trouble, the person in the palace would not be willing to hear this excuse. It doesn't matter if I don't catch it quickly, but the brothers in the government are all old and young, and if they are driven home, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a living. ”

"Someone is deliberately using this case to make things difficult for you?" Xing Ruyi heard another meaning from Chang Tai's words: "Is it Xie Xuan?" I heard that the original servants in the government office have also stepped down. It seems that this is not the meaning of your previous adult, but the meaning of this Lord Xie. You and your gang of fast catchers are also within his exclusion, but he can't find a better reason to drive you out, or he has a reason, but he wants you to be ugly and leave of your own accord. ”

"As a fast arrester, the case is not good, and I can't even catch the real murderer, even if it is not what Lord Xie meant, I Chang Tai also feel that I have no face to stay in the official mansion. You may think that what I Chang Tai said is a bit false, but Ruyi, I should catch fast not for those adults who hold the imperial court, but for the ordinary people outside the door. Although they are stupid, sometimes, they will not distinguish between right and wrong, but if there is no one who is willing to handle the case for them, many of their grievances can only be nested in their stomachs and rotten in coffins. Those high-ranking adults, whether they are talented or incompetent, how many are they willing to step down from the high hall and personally investigate and handle cases? ”

"Brother Chang!" Xing Ruyi seems to have never seen such Chang Tai, not as energetic as in the past, but a little depressed. What he just said was true, but it wasn't what he would have said before. "You tell Ruyi, did you encounter something?"

"No, it's just that I've been catching for a long time, and I'll feel tired." Chang Tai rubbed his forehead: "Niu's case, what can you do about it?" I don't want to drag this case on until tomorrow. ”

Xing Ruyi glanced at Niu Shi who was kneeling in the hall, pondered for a while, and said, "I have!" ”
