After Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui thanked the shopkeeper, they left the wine shop and returned to the yamen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two of them didn't say a word along the way, and they really didn't know what to say, could it be that the speculation all along was wrong? Is it really a ghost killing? Could it be that a female ghost really conjured up the body on the night of the search?

"Master, I have something to say." Wang Fugui finally broke the silence with one sentence.

Chen Jinbao rubbed his eyes and said, "Say what you want to say." ”

"Master, let's not care if there are ghosts in this world, at least this case has left us so many clues, according to the ghosts, things that can be heard and not necessarily seen, and things that can be seen and not necessarily touched can leave us so many clues?"

Chen Jinbao rubbed his temples again and said, "It's okay to say that, but now another witness says that there are ghosts, and this time it's still something that I saw with my own eyes, how can I explain this?" ”

Wang Fugui scratched the back of his head angrily and said, "This ....... Will...... Ay..... Could it be a mistake? That's right, could you be mistaken, can you see the painting in the position where the young lady is lying? ”

Chen Jinbao shook his head dejectedly, and said: "This young lady is only fourteen years old, she is not deaf and blind, and even if it is in that position, you can also see two painting scrolls, and it is not unusual to hang paintings on the main seat of the hall, if that young lady knows what the painting is, it is very strange, but she has never mentioned it, what is wrong, how can she be wrong for no other reason, unless you can prove what caused her to be wrong." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Fugui scratched his head harder, and Chen Jinbao felt reminded by his words, and his master's words began to echo in his mind.

"Premise, premise is important."

"There must be a premise."

"Why did the body appear for no reason, because you didn't see the body at the time."

"What if the corpse is something you haven't noticed?"

........

When Chen Jinbao thought of this, he immediately lowered his head and covered his chin with one hand, his eyes began to roll, and suddenly he put his hand down, raised his head, and said to Wang Fugui, who was still scratching his ears and cheeks: "Fugui, let's go back." ”

When Wang Fugui heard this, he looked at Chen Jinbao with a puzzled face and asked, "Go back?" Master, where do you say you're going? ”

"Go back to the liquor store."

Wang Fugui was even more confused, and asked again: "Master, do we have anything we haven't asked?" ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and said, "That's true. ”

After saying that, the two turned around and quickened their pace and walked back, preparing to go to the wine store again.

"Master, can you tell me what you have in mind?" Wang Fugui asked.

Chen Jinbao replied: "What did I think of? I only thought of the words of my master, your master. ”

Wang Fugui was even more puzzled and asked, "Master, can you make it clearer?" ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and said: "The master said, the premise of this thing, his old man is indeed worthy of being called "God Catcher", let's recall what the wine shop lady said, she said that when the deceased walked to the painting, a female ghost rushed out of the painting and grabbed the neck of the deceased, the female ghost was disheveled, and there was a lot of hair, she was dressed in white clothes, and her face was faintly white, you think about it, many characteristics of this female ghost can be pretended by people, but there is only one characteristic that people can't pretend, what is that? ”

Wang Fugui thought for a while, showed a suddenly realized expression, and said, "Rush out of the painting!" ”

Chen Jinbao nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, this characteristic person can't pretend to be, let's not say whether Miss is talking nonsense, whether it's sick or not, the memory is a little confusing, at least the so-called female ghost murder is only unclear about this, and we haven't specifically asked about this." ”

Wang Fugui nodded after hearing this, it seems that there are more places where the so-called ghost killing can't be explained than people killing people.

When they arrived at the wine shop, the two went in directly, and as soon as the guy saw the two of them coming again, he stepped forward and asked, "The two officials just left, why did they come back?" ”

Chen Jinbao said: "Don't worry about this, I want to see your young lady again." ”

After saying that, the two walked directly to the room of the young lady of the wine shop, and there was a housekeeper on the way to greet them, and the two of them ignored them, and walked to the young lady's house with their heads down.

At this time, the shopkeeper and his wife were in the room, and the two maids were combing the young lady's hair.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he bowed down and asked, "I don't know what the so-called matter is that the lord has just left and come back?" ”

Chen Jinbao replied: "There are some things that still need to be asked by the young lady. ”

When the lady heard this, she continued, "Can the two adults wait for the little girl to freshen up before asking?" ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand to signal the lady to shut up, and then said to Chen Jinbao: "My lord, please take care of it, and the villain will go out with the others." ”

Chen Jinbao just wanted to say no, the shopkeeper took the lady and maid out of the door, and then closed the door again, leaving the young lady alone in the house, and it could be seen that the shopkeeper was grateful to Chen Jinbao from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the furniture in the house has been moved back, the calligraphy and paintings are also hung on the wall, and the young lady's illness has been cured, and now her hair is combed, her face has become ruddy, and the willow eyebrows and melon seeds face give people the feeling that she will be a big beauty in a few years.

Chen Jinbao stepped forward and said to the young lady: "Miss, we won't sit down, just ask a few words, I hope the young lady can help." ”

Miss nodded, and Chen Jinbao then asked: "Miss, you just said that the female ghost rushed out of the painting, can you tell me more about how she rushed out?" ”

The young lady listened to Chen Jinbao's words with a puzzled face, and asked, "How did you rush out?" That's how it came out. ”

Seeing this, Wang Fugui stepped forward and continued to ask: "To be specific, does it rush out of the painting like a fly, or does it jump out of the painting?" ”

The young lady was even more confused when she heard this, and then said: "What flew out and jumped out, it just rushed out, what do you want to ask?" ”

Miss's answer gave the two of them a headache, and they didn't know whether they were asking the wrong question or if Miss didn't understand.

Chen Jinbao then asked: "Then how did it rush out?" ”

The young lady also felt impatient, stretched out her hands, palms in the shape of claws, stood upright, ran two steps and said, "You see, this is how it rushed out." ”

Chen Jinbao and the two looked at the action that Miss did, and then looked at each other, and they found that what Miss said about rushing out was actually running out like a person.

Chen Jinbao then asked: "Miss, which part of its body did you see first come out of the painting?" It stands to reason that when the ghost came out of the painting, there should be a part of the body that came out first, and then all of it. ”

The young lady thought for a moment, and then said, "Well...... I was leaning on the window and looking at it, trying to lower my body as low as I could, and only my eyes were exposed, and my eyes could just see a scroll under the painting, and then the man walked over to the painting, and I remember that the hands came out first, and then the upper body. ”

Wang Fugui looked puzzled and then asked, "Then what?" What about the lower body? ”

The young lady thought for a moment and said, "I don't see this." ”

Chen Jinbao was also stunned, and then asked, "Does that female ghost not have a lower body?" Miss, look at me, like this. ”

Chen Jinbao said as he made the gesture that Miss made just now, and then asked: "Miss, according to what you just said, the female ghost came out straight with her upper body like this, so what about its lower body?" Its lower body should also come out of the painting, right? Does it mean that it doesn't have a lower body? ”

The young lady looked at Chen Jinbao's movements, touched the back of her head with her hand and thought about it, and said, "I really didn't see its lower body, I saw it stretching out its hands, rushing out with its upper body, and then grabbed the man's neck and pushed it back." ”

Chen Jinbao and Wang Fugui were stunned, they looked at each other for a while, they both felt that they had thought of something, but they had to sort out their thoughts a little.

The young lady looked at the two of them, and then said: "Two adults, that's all I know, I don't know if I can help you catch ghosts, oh and, if there is a shortage of people to catch ghosts, I can also help, I was so badly harmed by that ghost, this time I am not afraid of it at all, I can help you catch it together." ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and said, "Miss, you have helped us a lot now, and I can also tell you about this ghost, it is most likely not a ghost." ”

The young lady was a little confused, and then asked, "Isn't that a ghost?" ”

Chen Jinbao turned his head to look at Wang Fugui with a smile, Wang Fugui also nodded with a smile, and the young lady scratched the back of her head and looked at these two people with a puzzled expression.

Chen Jinbao continued: "Okay, Miss, thank you, that's all we have to ask." ”

After saying that, the two turned around and walked outside, and as soon as the door was pulled, the shopkeeper was standing outside, and there was a housekeeper holding a jar of wine next to him.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and bowed to Chen Jinbao and said: "My lord, you cured the little girl's illness and saved the villain's life. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper's fist-hugging man Ding held the wine and bowed his body to ninety degrees.

When Chen Jinbao saw this, he was gracious and asked Wang Fugui to take it, and then the two thanked the shopkeeper and left the wine shop and returned to the yamen.

On the way, Wang Fugui asked Chen Jinbao: "Master, this wine is really fragrant." ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and asked, "Do you know who this wine is going to give it to?" ”

Wang Fugui also smiled, and then said, "I know, to the master." ”

Chen Jinbao nodded and continued: "Smart, I just want to give it to the master, but the top priority now is to understand one thing." ”

Wang Fugui's face immediately became serious, and he said: "Master, the ghost that Miss Liquor Store saw didn't look like something rushed out of the painting at all, but it looked like it ran out directly." ”

Chen Jinbao touched his chin, and then said: "It's not like it, it's just running out, and it's very strange to run out, according to what the wine shop lady said, stretch out her hands and straighten her upper body, and when you come out, you will directly choke the neck of the deceased, then the height and size of this ghost should not be too strange, the strangest thing is that the painting is not much bigger, it is possible for a normal upper body to drill out from small to large, and it is impossible to rush out at once, and the appearance of that young lady is simply running out, I remember that there was indeed a handprint on the windowsill of the hall of the haunted house, and it was the second window on the left, which must have been left by the barmaid, and that window was facing the side of the main seat, and the painting hung on the main seat. ”

Wang Fugui nodded, and then said: "If that young lady didn't lie, then there is only one reason to explain this, that young lady she saw one thing wrong." ”

Chen Jinbao turned his head and smiled at Wang Fugui, and said, "Well, Fugui, who do you think the murderer will be?" ”

Wang Fugui replied: "Master, we should focus on investigating the person named Lu Dayou. ”

After speaking, the two of them hurried back to the yamen, and now everything is in place, and only one evidence is owed.

After returning to the yamen, Wang Fugui put the wine away, and after a while, a catcher ran to Chen Jinbao and said: "Boss, the little one has just come back from the house called Lu Dayou, the man is thirty-three years old, he is a farmer outside the south city, he is the only one in the family, when we went to search, the kid was moving, the brothers didn't find anything in his house, the little one asked him if he knew the deceased, he also said he did, the kid also said that he wanted to move to another place, the little one wanted to keep him, So he brought him directly to the yamen, and let two or three brothers watch him, and the little one was good at advocating for forgiveness. ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he immediately said: "You are not guilty, and you are likely to catch the real murderer." ”

As soon as he heard the stupidity, before he came back to his senses, a yacha ran over to Chen Jinbao and said: "Pai Tou, Lord Bo said that you found what you wanted, and he asked me to tell you that twenty years ago, there was indeed a woman who jumped into the river and committed suicide, the reason was that her husband was divorced by her husband because of his empathy, and then she jumped into the river, and her husband was also dragged into prison at that time, and finally died of illness in prison." Master Bo also said that he didn't know if such a long-term incident would help this case. ”

Chen Jinbao smiled and said, "You go back and tell Master Bo that Chen Jinbao thanks you for your help." ”

"Yes!"

The yacha replied, and turned to leave.

At this time, another yacha ran over and said to Chen Jinbao: "Pai tou, the master asked you to go over." ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he thought to himself, why did my grandfather let me go.

Chen Jinbao nodded to indicate that he understood, and the order of the yacha arrived, so he turned around and walked away.

At this time, the arrester who searched Lu Dayou quickly walked up to Chen Jinbao and asked, "Boss, what did you mean just now that the little one arrested the murderer?" That Lu Dayou is the murderer? ”

Chen Jinbao turned his head and said to Wang Fugui: "Fugui, you explain to him, I will go to the grandfather now." ”

After speaking, Chen Jinbao turned around and left, and the catcher who stayed behind asked Wang Fugui again: "Fugui, what does that mean, boss, I have made a great contribution?" ”

.........

Chen Jinbao went to find the county master alone, who knew that the county master was standing in the yard, Chen Jinbao stepped forward and hugged his fist at the county master and said, "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said, "Jinbao, can the suspicion of this official Xiaoyou be cleared away." ”

Chen Jinbao replied: "Back to the grandfather, Mr. Liu's suspicion has been cleared, and the murderer is someone else. ”

After hearing this, the county magistrate twisted his beard and asked, "Oh, that murderer is the one you caught back?" ”

Chen Jinbao said: "That's right, master, this person is the most suspicious. ”

When the county magistrate heard the music, he said: "Haha, this official knows that you have inherited Zheng Qing's name, and the official will immediately order someone to be promoted." ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Master, I can't be promoted to the hall now, because.... Because the lower officials still lack evidence. ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said, "Hmm! You have no evidence, so you just arrest people into the yamen? ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he knelt down on one knee and said: "It is indeed the lower official who is good at making claims, because that person is now nominally saying that he wants to move, but in fact he is going to run, and escorting him back to the yamen is the best way, please forgive the master!" ”

The county magistrate flicked his sleeves and said: "You have no evidence, so you brought people into the yamen, if this matter is spread out, wouldn't the official know the law and break the law, wouldn't you be unjust in enforcing the law?" Anyway, you can only ascend to the church. ”

As soon as Chen Jinbao heard this, he immediately persuaded: "Master, can you allow the officials some time to find the evidence?" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he continued: "It will take some time to prepare for the ascension, you go and find the evidence, this time may not work for ordinary people, but the official believes that you can definitely do it." ”

Chen Jinbao was about to cry, and then begged: "Master, this ......."

Before Chen Jinbao finished speaking, the county magistrate interrupted and said, "Needless to say, someone is coming." ”

As soon as the county magistrate shouted, two officials ran over, clasped their fists and shouted: "Master! ”

The county magistrate gave an order: "Order people to ascend!" ”

"Yes!"

Yacha responded, turned around and ran, the county magistrate asked Chen Jinbao to get up, and then said: "Jinbao, you go to find evidence." ”

Chen Jinbao responded with a melancholy face: "The lower official obeys the order." ”
