Chapter Twenty-Five: The Male Corpse in the River

Lady Liang wiped her tears and opened a thick wooden board on the ground, revealing a dark hole. She naturally walked into the dark cave, Di Renjie followed behind and went in, just about to lean out, Di Renjie's brain reflected very quickly, turned around and picked up a wooden stick across the ground before going down.

When going down the stairs, Mrs. Liang pointed to the wooden plank on it, how smart Di Renjie was, moved the wooden plank back to its original position without revealing any clues.

After going down, Di Renjie couldn't help but be taken aback. There is a slender road below, but one must bow one's head and move forward. It turned out to be a dark room, and the dark room was very dark and impermeable, and there was something as big as something in the middle, and it was flickering with ghost fire.

Di Renjie asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?" ”

"This is my lord's bed!" Mrs. Liang replied calmly.

Mrs. Liang was afraid that Di Renjie would feel weird, so she turned on the lamp, and the dark room immediately revealed the prototype. It turned out that there was a red lacquer coffin without a lid in the middle, the coffin was not small, occupying more than half of the dark room, and there was a wax oil lamp on the top of the coffin, which seemed to be lit often.

A red lacquered coffin stood in the middle of the dark room, and Di Renjie came to the front and looked inside. I saw that the coffin was covered with a thick futon, and on the futon lay a humanoid object, covered with blue-white muslin and woolen paper.

After Mrs. Liang stretched out her hand to lift the sheet and wool paper, the true shape of the corpse was slowly revealed, it was really a charred corpse, Di Renjie couldn't help but reach out and touch one arm of the corpse, there was no elasticity anymore, it was more like touching a piece of rotten wood.

"My lord, this is my dead husband. The two of us grew up together and became husband and wife, hoping to grow old with him, but fate is hard, he did leave me, if it wasn't for the young child, the slave family would have gone to him. Whining! ”

Di Renjie comforted Mrs. Liang and asked the reason: "Woman, what is the purpose of you placing Lord Zhao's body like this?" I don't understand, huh? ”

Mrs. Liang wiped away her tears, paused and said, "After my husband passes away, I don't want to live anymore." So, I ran to the high ground of the Zhangwu River and wanted to jump down for the rest of my life.

Suddenly, someone grabbed me, and when I looked back, I saw that it was a monk who walked on my feet. And he said unto me, Why are you so short-sighted?

I said, my husband is dead, and I don't want to live alone, I want to return to Jiuquan with my husband, so that I can meet him in the underworld. The monk said, if you don't die, you can also live and live with your husband.

The slave family was curious for a moment and asked the monk what his plan was.

The monk said to me, you can dig an underground dark room in a simple house, build a red-headed coffin, and set up a conjuring lamp in front of the coffin, and the soul of the husband will come to you. However, it is necessary to be honest in order to achieve the willingness.

So the slave family buried the old man's clothes and graves under the grave, and the body was placed in the dark room like this! ”

Di Renjie laughed secretly in his heart, there are all kinds of people in the world, and poor people must have something to hate. Maybe it's a way to comfort the souls of the dead! I comforted him with kind words.

Suddenly, Di Renjie saw how the face of the corpse was so fresh, although it couldn't be said to be bright, but it didn't look like it was burned.

"Well, madam, seeing that Lord Zhao's limbs are indeed scorched by fire, why is his face so fresh and shiny, I don't understand what he means anymore."

"Oh, I forgot, the slave family has passed down a skill since childhood, called the disguise technique, if the person who breaks the appearance, the slave family will make it easy to restore his true appearance." Mrs. Liang said.

What the? It turned out that this lady actually knew how to disguise, which surprised Di Renjie. You must know that the transfiguration technique is a kind of Jianghu technique that changes the appearance of the changer, and I heard my father say it in the early years, but I have never seen it, and it seems that today I have met a master. Then see that the master can't miss it, this spell must be mastered.

Di Renjie looked at the charred corpse, carefully examined every part, and maybe could see some doorways.

"Madame suspects that Lord Zhao was killed first and then burned, did you find any evidence?" Di Renjie asked.

"I haven't found it for the time being, but the slave family can communicate with the husband in front of the coffin late at night, and the slave family can feel the husband's unjust death through communication."

Di Renjie almost cried when he heard it, when did he still make such a joke.

"Woman, you can't just meditate, all cases must have sufficient evidence, and you can't talk about it without evidence! I'll check it out. With that, Di Renjie checked the corpse again. Keep scrutinizing in your heart. If the person is burned to death, he will be struggling, and any posture will appear, and due to the extreme pain at the time of death, there will be burns in the mouth and nose, and there will be a lot of smoke and dust.

Then the corpse will not be distorted after death, and even the shape will not change much. The deceased had long since lost his breath, and no smoke or dust had entered his mouth or nose. And the body in the coffin, although it is very carbonized, shows no signs of struggling. As for the inside of the mouth and nose of the deceased, it was not clear for the time being because the light in the darkroom was not so bright.

Just as the two of them were looking for clues in the dark room, they heard footsteps overhead. Oh no, it looks like someone is here. Di Renjie glanced at Mrs. Liang, blew out the oil lamp in one go, and the dark room entered darkness again.

After a while, the footsteps faded away, and it seemed that someone had indeed come to the house, and no one could guess what they were looking for.

Di Renjie felt a little uneasy, it seemed that our whereabouts might be detected by others. A question suddenly came to mind.

"Madame, I forgot one more thing, you said that your friend brought me here, so can that friend of yours come out and meet me?"

"This... My friend repeatedly told me not to divulge half a word, I'm sorry Master Di, the slave family was offended. ”

"It's okay, the melon that is twisted is not sweet. I think this is the end of tonight, and the Japanese officials will investigate this case in detail, but please don't worry, Madame, this case is extraordinary, it can't be solved in a day or two, I don't know what the woman wants? ”

Mrs. Liang was still very reasonable and completely agreed with Di Renjie's proposal.

The two left the dark room in the dark, Di Renjie came to the ground to take a look, and sure enough, there were traces of someone coming, and he obviously put a wooden stick across the ground, and at this moment the wooden stick had been displaced, proving that someone had touched it intentionally or unintentionally.

Returning to Mrs. Liang's residence and looking at the sleeping Huan'er, Di Renjie was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and hoped that the child would grow up and be an upright person like his father.

On the morning of the second day, Di Renjie woke up, after all, he tossed for half a night last night, so the time to get up was delayed a lot. When Di Renjie got up, he was about to start handling the case of finding Hainan. Suddenly I felt empty around me, by the way, where did that kid run away today?

"Shuqi? Shuqi?" Di Renjie shouted several times and no one spoke, why did this kid go early in the morning?

At this time, someone came to report, saying that Liu Zhukuai of Zhangwu County was waiting for the adults in the living room and had something important to see.

When Di Renjie came to the living room, he saw Liu Zhutou walking back and forth in a hurry. As he walked, he arched his hand and said: "Liu Zhutou is visiting at this time, I don't know what to do!" ”

When Liu Zhutou heard this, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw his fists clasped urgently, he said loudly: "My lord, something is wrong." We found an unnamed male corpse in the Zhangwu River in the county! ”

"What, nameless male corpse? There is such a thing, lead the way to the scene to see. After Di Renjie learned that the dead body was found in Zhangwuhe, he knew that the matter was extremely serious, and without waiting for Liu Zhutou to reply, he immediately walked outside the mansion.
