Chapter 19: The Death of Lao Chen
On the street in front of the yamen, a figure ran fast.
Fortunately, there are fewer pedestrians now, and you can walk and sway in the wind.
When Yi Fan arrived at the yamen on time, he couldn't help frowning.
Because, I didn't see Lao Chen in front of the yamen.
"It's so late, there's no reason why it hasn't arrived yet?"
As far as Yi Fan knows, Lao Chen is never late, he gets up earlier than the rooster every day, why didn't he come today?
A few minutes later, seeing that Lao Chen hadn't come yet, Yi Fan didn't wait any longer, maybe Lao Chen didn't come today!
Back in the patrol room, Yi Fan had no intention of working, thinking that Lao Chen had not come, and he was in his heart
There is always an inexplicable sense of unease.
...
It's time to get there.
Yi Fan is sorting out the case, and after many days of hard work, some cases left over from the history of this yamen have been basically resolved.
Now you just need to be comfortable in the patrol room, wait for someone to report the crime, and even be so leisurely that you can make yourself a cup of wolfberry.
"At this time, Xiao Ai and the others should go out of the city. ”
Yi Fan said.
He looked up in the direction of the city gate, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and there was always a sense of disparity.
The two catchers in the house glanced at each other and snickered: "You said that the head catcher looks like this, is it lovesick? Which girl does he have a crush on?"
"I think it's possible, after all, when you're old, you have to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"Why don't you introduce a few to the head catcher?"
"Haha!
The two of them spoke very quietly, but Yi Fan could hear them clearly.
Yi Fan turned around and said leisurely: "If you desert at work, you will be fined half a month." ”
Seeing this, the two arresters immediately begged for mercy, and at this moment a servant ran in.
"Easy to catch the head, go to the lobby, there is a murder case. The official said hurriedly.
Hearing the murder, Yi Fan couldn't help but be shocked.
For some reason, the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
The county hall hall.
A lean young man knelt on the ground.
His body trembled, his face was pale, his eyes were flustered, and he looked like he had been frightened.
Outside the lobby, it was full of people.
After all, it is a small county town, and there has been a murder, and it must have spread.
At this time, Yi Fan arrived.
When he saw this lean young man, his face couldn't help but change.
Because there are a few wisps of ghost energy floating on this young man's body.
"I'm afraid this murder is not simple!"
Yi Fan immediately decided that the murder was related to ghosts.
In the lobby,
When the county commander saw Yi Fan, he immediately said: "Yi Zhutou, you rush to the scene of the crime now, don't let others destroy the scene." ”
"The subordinates understand. Yi Fan bowed and said.
Immediately, he asked, "My lord, where is the place where this murder occurred?"
The county magistrate touched his beard and said heavily: "Chen Liangjia." ”
"Old Chen???" Yi Fan was suddenly shocked.
Chen Liang is Lao Chen's name, didn't he come today, it turned out to be...
Yi Fan immediately grabbed the door and left.
...
The old Chen family.
"Alas, how can a big living man disappear in such a dignified manner?"
"Oh, God doesn't open his eyes. ”
"What did Lao Chen do in his last life, first his daughter-in-law, and then him, it's really pitiful. ”
“...”
The front of Lao Chen's house was full of people, all of whom felt sorry for what happened to Lao Chen.
At this time, Yi Fan arrived.
"The little head catcher is coming, the little head catcher is coming!"
"Everyone, give way to the little catcher. A little beggar said loudly.
Because Yi Fan became a head catcher at a young age, everyone called him the little head catcher behind his back.
When everyone saw Yi Fan coming, they immediately dispersed and made way for him.
"Head catcher, you must catch the murderer who killed Lao Chen, and you can't let the murderer go unpunished. "There was an aunt who grabbed Yi Fan to death.
Yi Fan nodded: "Auntie, don't worry, ...... first Let me take a look at Lao Chen first. ”
After speaking, the aunt let go of her hand and let Yi Fan enter.
Walking into the compound, Yi Fan suddenly frowned, and said secretly: "What a heavy ghost." ”
Under the observation of Tianyantong, the house in front of him seemed to be shrouded in flame-like ghost qi, which was really weird, which was the concentration of ghost qi that only existed in a century-old Yin House.
Now that the sun has just risen, the sun is not so vicious, and such a huge ghost aura will be difficult to eliminate for a while.
Pushing open the door, a chilly air came to my face.
The two catches around Yi Fan were fast, obviously he didn't feel the cold, but he kept shivering.
Seeing this, Yi Fan immediately beckoned them out.
"You're waiting for me outside. Yi Fan said in a deep voice.
"Head catcher, be careful yourself. The two catchers quickly reminded that they also sensed that something was wrong.
Yi Fan nodded, and then walked in.
Inside the house, ordinary people couldn't see anything, but in Yi Fan's eyes, it was a miasma.
The ghost aura that filled the room gave him an unknown sense of familiarity.
It seems to be the ghost mother of that night.
"Old Chen...... Didn't I hurt you?"
Yi Fan continued to observe, several stools and chairs in the room overturned, a few messy footprints on the ground, and the windows were open.
He guessed that the person who reported the case today was probably a gentleman.
That's how it should be.
Liang Shangjun sneaked into Lao Chen's house early in the morning, and wanted to stop something, but found that Lao Chen died tragically at home, and the cold atmosphere here was so abundant, ordinary people couldn't bear it at all, and their hearts were suddenly frightened.
Extremely frightened, he chose to report the crime.
Yi Fan's understanding of Lao Chen.
Lao Chen's parents died very early, his daughter-in-law contracted a cold and left at the beginning of the year, and the rest of his relatives were all outside.
If he dies unexpectedly at home, no one will find out in a short time.
Fortunately, a thief stumbled in by mistake, otherwise there would have been another unsolved case.
However, this time it was done by ghosts, and the world did not believe in the existence of ghosts, so the county ordered them to judge it as an unsolved case again.
But no matter what, Lao Chen was victimized by that ghost thing, and Yi Fan couldn't ignore it.
He silently swore in his heart that he must find out the ghost and avenge Lao Chen.
Slightly
Yi Fan came to the edge of the bed.
Lao Chen lay here quietly, he didn't feel much pain before he died, his expression was very peaceful, but there were two tear stains on his face.
Why was his face so merciful when he died, as if he was a monk feeding a tiger with his body?
Lao Chen doesn't believe in religion or God, he shouldn't have died.
The cause and effect around him should have been borne by himself, but Lao Chen took his place and died.
Guilt and anger rush over my mind.
Yi Fan stood motionless in front of the bed like a piece of wood, quietly looking at Lao Chen's corpse.
He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, he felt extremely empty, he felt as if his life had been hollowed out, and the memories of his past existence had been erased.
The dead take away the memories of the living, which is the greatest torment for the living.
"Lao Chen, I used to think that as long as I could hold on to a piece of land and wait for the people I knew well on that land, my life should be satisfied.
You're really playing a big joke on me. I ......"
Yi Fan's voice choked, and he took several deep breaths to suppress his emotions.
"I really can't accept that you are dying like this, I can't accept it!"
Yi Fan couldn't tell whether his voice was shouting or sobbing.
"Look, Old Chen.
Karma is rewarded, I will pull it to you to be buried, you can watch.
If it is true that people become ghosts when they die, then you wait a minute, and I will let it apologize to you. ”
Yi Fan turned to leave, the ghost qi around him was dispersed by the courage on his body, his shadow was stretched long, and his gaze burned and burned.
