Chapter Twenty-Three: Like True Brothers, Kill First and Guard the Spirit
"It means that at the time of the crime, other people had been here. That person may be the real murderer! ”
"That's right." Sun Miao snapped his fingers, "If it is really someone else who committed the murder, and can not alarm the other people in the Song Mansion, and successfully disguise this place as a suicide and retreat, there are only two possibilities."
"Or, the perpetrator is a cultivator with great supernatural powers. Either...... The perpetrator was an acquaintance of the Song family. ”
Chu Yi shook his head: "Cultivators who kill people, whether they are righteous sects or evil cultivators, will not do that thankless thing. Even if you really want to kill this Song Yan, you don't have to go to such great lengths, it's impossible. ”
Regarding Chu Yi's conclusion, Sun Miao had reservations.
At first glance, it may sound right, but worldly wealth and status are indeed no different from dung for practitioners.
But are mortals really nothing of value? Like what...... What about the soul and the blood?
If it was really as Chu Yi said, I'm afraid that the matter of the Shen Mansion would not have happened.
But now what she said is exactly what she sees, so it is convenient to guide her in the direction of an acquaintance committing a crime, and there is no need to refute.
Sun Miao nodded: "Not bad." Then it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime, if this acquaintance does not want others to see that he is usually abnormal and arouse suspicion, what should he do most at this time? ”
Chu Yi frowned and pondered, and then looked at it incredulously: "Could it be ...... He still dared to come to the Song family to hang the dead? ”
"I think it's very likely, unless he kills someone, he plans to give up everything and go away from home, and then go incognito." Sun Miao smiled and pointed to the beam, "But if that's the case, why does he have to put so much effort into decorating this place like a suicide?" ”
Yes, don't you just hope that you won't be suspected and your current life will not be affected?
Chu Yi couldn't help but slap his hands and admire: "Mr. Sun's heart is as careful as a hair, and he is like watching fire, Chu Yi is much inferior." ”
Looking at the look of appreciation in her clear eyes, Sun Miao was a little embarrassed.
He knows the answer first, and then looks at the answer to solve the problem, can he not see the fire?
"I'll go to the mourning hall to see if there will be any surprises. I'm afraid you'll be scared of the grass and snakes, so why don't you hide in the shadows first? ”
"Okay."
The two separated, and Sun Miao walked to the mourning hall alone.
In broad daylight, there are so many people in the mourning hall, no matter whether the murderer or the ghost wants to come, they can't do anything, and it is still very safe.
In the matter of finding the murderer, Sun Miao did not spend much effort.
Because the man was so conspicuous that he couldn't even notice it.
Song Yuanwai fell ill, the old lady was taking care of him, Song Yan was an only son, and he had no children under his knees.
At this time, the one who sat there to guard Song Yan's spirit was actually the murderer himself, the poor scholar!
His blood-red eyes looked like he was crying at this time, and he was already thin, giving people a haggard feeling.
An image that was overly sad for the deceased and so sad that there were no tears to shed was played by him at this time.
"Alas, it's really thanks to Chongde's kid, if he hadn't helped him before, Yan'er's funeral wouldn't have been so thoughtful." Old Madam Song also came to the mourning hall at this time, and when she saw Sun Miao staring at the person guarding the spirit, she just introduced it.
Yes, thanks to him, you wouldn't have had to do a funeral if it weren't for him!
"Is he familiar with Song Gongzi?"
"Don't be familiar, Chongde is something we watched grow up with Yan'er, and the two are like brothers."
It's like a brother.
"Mrs. Song, you are mourning. Alas...... Song Gongzi is a talent, and he is righteous and squandered money on weekdays, and he is anxious for justice and righteousness. How young ......"
The people who came to mourn were all of three religions and nine streams, and their expressions were either regretful or sad, and they didn't look like they were acting on the spot.
Sun Miao opened Chu Yi in order to facilitate her contact with the murderer, otherwise she would lock up the real murderer as soon as she came up, which would inevitably arouse her suspicions.
In fact, this is Sun Miao's consideration, no matter how he behaves differently now, Chu Yi will not be surprised.
In other words, he has already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Oracle Division, and it is not bad this time.
Sun Miao walked up to the person who was kneeling in front of the spirit at this time, known as "Chongde", and sat down with his ass.
"Brother Chongde, it's so determined." Sun Miao said softly in a volume that only two people could hear.
The man's body was shocked, and a fine light flashed in his blood-red eyes, but he immediately calmed down again: "Tang doesn't seem to know Brother Tai." ”
It turns out that this guy's surname is Tang.
Sun Miao smiled slightly: "It's a good thing not to know, this Song Yan is very familiar with you, but he ended up like this, it's really pitiful." ”
"What are you talking about?" Tang Chongde was still unmoved.
But in Sun Miao's opinion, he pretended to be a little too much.
A person who has no ghost in his heart, when his brother was so slandered when he was at a funeral, he would have jumped up and beaten someone a long time ago.
"Okay, don't pretend, let's open the skylight and say something." Sun Miao didn't want to make any more detours, "I know that you killed Song Yan, so you should take the initiative to surrender, so as not to suffer more flesh and skin." ”
"Where did the madman babble!" Tang Chongde scolded loudly, and the surrounding mournful voices were silent, and people turned their heads to look at the two.
Sun Miao raised his face: "Although your design is good, you left your bloody handprint in the room, and also took away the pennant held by Song Yanzhong."
"I'll find out if what I'm saying is true or not. You'd better recruit it yourself, so as not to waste a lot of time. ”
After hearing this, Tang Chongde got up and grabbed Sun Miao's collar, and his strength was surprisingly great.
He was no longer the dead face, his eyes widened at this time, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he looked extremely excited...... Or rather, euphoria?
At this time, a dark green figure rushed over at high speed.
Bang bang!
After the two muffled sounds, the people around him hadn't seen what was happening, and Tang Chongde had already knelt.
Literally kneeling.
"This man is the murderer?"
"Yes, he is suspicious, and after a little temptation, he shows his feet."
When Chu Yi heard this, he lifted Tang Chongde and cut his hands: "What does Mr. Sun plan to do with him?" ”
Belch...... Listening to what she meant, it was as if she said that she would correct the Fa on the spot, and she would dare to kill people in public.
Shouldn't you go through the process? You're also half of the system.
"Let's send him to the county government and let them investigate and try him."
It is more troublesome to go to his house to collect evidence, but it is more worry-free to hand it over to the yamen.
When the time comes, he will go to the hall to ask about the case, and then let Mrs. Song take the person to listen to the sores on his face, and watch the murderer fall to the law with her own eyes, so as to resolve the resentment in his heart.
Sun Miao and Old Madam Song explained a little, and then went out with Chu Yi and the criminals.
They came all the way to the gate of the county office, and Sun Miao was the first time to come to the county government of the Da'an Dynasty.
There was also a drum at the door, and Sun Miao pulled out the drumstick to beat the drum.
Originally, the guards had to step forward to stop them, but as soon as they saw Chu Yi wearing the official uniform of the crime camp, they went.
Knock knock!
After three drums, another guard brought the three of them in.
Above the high hall, Sun Miao also met the highest local administrator for the first time, Anping County Commander.
