"It seems that Aunt Zhang is afraid to mention the matter of Yanagi Town or Yanagi Ghost." Xu Ang took a sip of water.

"Say, Brother Xu, what do you think?" Jiang Tian asked tentatively.

"It will take a little time to get the photo, before that, we can go to Z University of Science and Technology to see, the deceased is the dean of the School of Teacher Education of Z University of Science and Technology, and there may be some clues in Z University of Science and Technology. Now the question is, why did Li Jingqing commit suicide, and why was so many coins glued to his body? Xu Ang picked up the briefcase, "As for whether Dean Li's death has anything to do with Liu Sheng's ghost, we can not discuss this for now......

Heshan Higher Education Park, Z University of Science and Technology.

"It is worthy of being known as the most beautiful university in H City!" Jiang Tian looked at this university hidden in the mountains and sighed.

Heshan is a good scenic spot near the urban area of H City, not to mention the beautiful scenery, the air is fresh and sweet that the urban area does not have, and there are six colleges and universities located here, constituting a Heshan Higher Education Park.

Among them, Z University of Science and Technology is built on the mountain and hidden in the mountain, and is known as the most beautiful university in H City.

"yes." Xu Ang looked at the students coming and going, "I envy these students, they can study in such a good environment, they can climb the mountain on weekends, see the scenery, I heard that there is a tea mountain in the west......"

"It's a bit off, Brother Xu, we're here to investigate the case......"

"I know...... Well, let's go to the Institute of Teacher Education. ”

In the vice president's office, Wang Gaohang let out a long sigh, took off his glasses, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Lao Li, he is quite a stubborn person, but he is very enthusiastic about people, but it's a pity."

"Vice President Wang, did Dean Li behave abnormally before the accident? Also, what do you mean by stubbornness? ”

"No, yesterday I was talking and laughing in the office, talking about graduates, talking about scientific research projects, exactly the same as usual, but this morning I suddenly heard that I was burned to death, alas!" Li Gaohang's eyes turned red again, "Saying that he is stubborn is actually his shortcoming, others don't change, they don't know how to please, they always follow their own ideas, and they don't care about the leader's face." However, although he said so, he was very capable and carried out a series of reform measures, which made our teaching institute a key college in this engineering-based Z University of Science and Technology. ”

"Will anyone hold a grudge against him? I mean, I don't like the people in Dean Lee. ”

"I said, although Lao Li is a bit stubborn, but he is still very good, people ask him for help, and if they can help, they will help, never say anything, the leaders actually value him very much, and they said that they would give him a promotion...... No one will hate him, eh, didn't Lao Li commit suicide, could it be said that he was killed? Vice President Wang asked a little puzzled.

"No, we're just asking." Xu Ang said, "But you can also think that according to what you said, Dean Li has no signs of suicide at all, so why can't he suddenly think about it?" ”

"I heard Lao Li say that he and his wife have quarreled recently."

"Quarrel? Why? ”

"I don't know, it seems that Lao Li's wife suspects that there is someone outside him, you know, many women will be suspicious. However, Lao Li said that he was reconciled now and that there was nothing to do. ”

……

On the way back, Jiang Tian asked Xu Ang, "Do you think that Zhang Guo in that photo has anything to do with Li Jingqing's death?" The Li Jingqing we learned from Zhang Xian and Li Gao's mouth doesn't look like he's going to commit suicide, and now this photo has become a big suspicion. ”

Xu Ang nodded, "Judging from what we have so far, it really doesn't make sense that a person with a happy family and a smooth job would commit suicide in such a perverted way, although Li Jingqing and Zhang Xian have quarreled, it shouldn't have much to do with this case, isn't it ......" After a pause, Xu Ang frowned and said, "That photo was sent from Yanagi Town, could it really be ......?"

"Stop, stop!" Jiang Tian said angrily, "Brother Xu, how much do you know?" I can see that you're running away, and you don't want to check in the direction of the Yanagi ghost, why? ”

Xu Ang stopped the car, lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly spoke: "I don't want to mention those things about Liusheng Town, and I don't want to investigate in this direction, because it's just too unbelievable, but now it seems that Li Jingqing's death does have something to do with those things, including those coins......"

"Coins? The 231 coins on Li Jingqing's body? ”

Xu Ang nodded, "Xiao Tian, you should have noticed that those coins are all face up, right?" The curse of the Yanagi ghost is also related to the positive and negative sides. Xu Ang sighed, "Forget it, I'll tell you a case from twenty-seven years ago, it may be time." ”

Xu Ang opened the navigation, set the destination as Yanagi Town, started the car, and began to narrate:

In ancient times, there was a man named Liu Sheng, because he was hiding from the war, he took his family to a small county in northern Zhejiang and settled here. Because the Liu Sheng family has admired literature for generations, there are many people who have become officials because of the imperial examination, and they can be regarded as a scholarly family. So after the war, Liu Sheng picked up his books again and went to Beijing to take the exam, and he was admitted to the Jinshi, returned to his hometown, and became the county commander of a small county.

Liu Sheng is an honest official, two sleeves are clean, upright, and philanthropy, the county people are grateful to him, after Liu Sheng, the small county was renamed Liu Sheng County, and built a Liu Sheng Pagoda to commemorate Liu Sheng.

This should have been a good story, but strange to say, the direction of the story surprised everyone.

Many years later, a murder occurred in Yanagi County, where a man was killed at the foot of the Yanagi Pagoda and died a tragic death.

The man's limbs were cut off, and his body was placed in front of the incense burner under the Yanagi Tower, as if he were kneeling on the ground. In addition, the upper third of the man's head was cut open with a saw and buckled to the ground.

He found a copper coin embedded in the man's brain.

Under the upside-down skull, a blood letter was found, and the contents of it were very surprising.

It's a confession!

The approximate meaning written above is: The man is a talent in Liusheng County, and a girl who has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood, and has promised that the girl that the day she returns from the Beijing entrance examination is the period of proposing. But the world is unpredictable, one day drunk, Xiucai wanted to defile the girl when he met the girl, the girl struggled, and after Xiucai strangled her to death, he actually did an act of insulting the corpse. After waking up, Xiucai dismembered the girl in panic and scattered her body everywhere.

When the county magistrate saw this confession, he realized that the missing girl who had been searching for three months had already died in Huangquan.

The confession is drawn by Xiucai himself, and there are three words on the back: Liu Sheng Ghost.

After the local county residents learned the truth of the case, they clapped their hands and praised the "Yanagi Ghost" as the name of eliminating the harm.

The yamen never found out who this "willow ghost" was, and he didn't understand why he opened Xiucai's skull and put it in the copper coin.

The story isn't over yet.

A few months later, there were murders of Yanagi ghosts in the surrounding counties.

A Qingtian lord who was praised by the people was killed, and his death was consistent with Xiucai. The confession states that the official embezzled huge sums of money, shielded criminals, and disregarded human lives during his 10 years as an official.

A wealthy philanthropist was found lying dead in his soup kitchen. The confession shows that this person has repeatedly trafficked beggar girls and sold them to families in Beijing as child brides.

A military general with great achievements hanged at the city gate, and his limbs and skull were also cut off. The confession tells the world that the military generals beheaded many innocent people in war, and used their heads to pass off as the heads of enemy soldiers and mountain bandits to receive war exploits......

The murders were one after another, from Yanagi County to the surrounding counties and even various prefectures and counties, and the deceased were all cut off limbs, cut off their heads, put copper coins, and had a confession, as well as the "Yanagi Ghost" signed behind it.

No one has ever been able to track down who the "Yanagi Ghost" is, whether it is a human or a ghost, and how many more people it will kill......

But the people worshipped him as a god.

With the passage of time, the "Yanagi Ghost" may no longer commit crimes, or someone may imitate it to kill people later, but gradually, it will derive the "Yanagi Ghost Curse", "Whoever does evil, although no one notices, will have its retribution" The legend has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

……

"Brother Xu, I've heard everything you said, okay......" Jiang Tian said helplessly.

"I know." Xu Ang parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine, took a deep breath and said, "But twenty-seven years ago, Liu Sheng Ghost committed another crime!" ”
