"It seems that this matter involves a big conspiracy, so pretending to be a ghost, seeking money and killing people, it must not be done by one person, this is a group of thieves." Ye Yuanzhou groaned, "It is said that some people went to the murderous house of the Zong family and died violently, including those who bought low and sold high for the Zong family's property back then.

I don't know if all the people involved in this matter are dead, and it's hard to tell whether this is someone avenging the Zong family, or someone who wants to kill people and kill people, and 'eat alone'. ”

"Indeed, what happened back then was not only a gang, but there must also be internal responses in the Zong family." Du Ruo frowned, "As you said, that human skin mask is expensive and exquisitely made, so it is not easy for people to see the flaws.

But the premise that all this can be established is that the person who is trying to disguise himself as Zong Youlin needs to have enough understanding of Zong Youlin's appearance.

I don't know how the human skin mask you mentioned was made, but if you guess, I guess it would have been necessary for the craftsman to at least secretly see the person being impersonated, right? ”

Ye Yuanzhou nodded, confirming her guess: "That's true." ”

"Zong Youlin took his wife to his father-in-law's house to pay homage to his birthday and provincial relatives, and when he went, he was naturally in a hurry, and it was impossible not to travel all the way without hurrying to visit the mountains and rivers.

And if he didn't know his identity, even if a stranger had a bad intention to make money and kill him, he wouldn't have bothered to make a human skin mask, let alone make such a fine human skin mask.

The only time for this was when he was at his father-in-law's house, because of his birthday greetings, and Zong Youlin's wife had not returned to his parents' house for a long time, the young couple naturally wanted to stay for a while.

And during this period of time, if someone wants to bring the craftsman in, secretly observe Zong Youlin's physiognomy features, and go back to make the human skin mask, all the conditions will be met.

We also inquired, the daughter-in-law of the Zong family married to Yuzhou, and the distance between her and her mother's family is far away, what kind of flash flood and what kind of refugee is it when the so-called return trip, is there really such a thing, and who can verify it?

If you want me to say, it is possible that there are no twists and turns at all, but the thieves joined forces to cooperate with the outside and harmed Zong Youlin halfway, and the so-called branches along the way are just to make the abnormal behavior of the fake 'Zong Youlin' after returning to the Zong family more credible. ”

"Reasonable!" Ye Yuanzhou agreed with Du Ruo's inference, but couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "But the old servant's account today also confirms the previous statement of Boss Tong, when the young couple of the Zong family went out to worship their relatives, they just hired a carriage, not even their own coachman, and they didn't bring any servants to serve with them."

The people of the Zong family were killed one by one back then, who are you talking about who can be in harmony with the thieves? ”

Du Ruo's expression looked a little strange, although Ye Yuanzhou was not as smart as her, he was not a dull person, and he could still see this level of observation.

"Do you already have the most suspicious candidate for the inner ghost?" He asked Du Ruo, "Then why don't you say it?" ”

"Because there is no proof of death." Du Ruo shook his head, and did not intend to make his thoughts clear, "Now the affairs of the Zong family, even if the master and wife of the Zong family are allowed to crawl out of the cemetery, they may not be able to explain clearly, and many things have nowhere to verify.

I'm just a judgment and speculation of my own, and it's better not to say it without evidence, after all, even if it's a dead person, the reputation can't be arbitrarily used to be manipulated and corrupted.

I just heard the old servant talk about the marriage between the young master and the young lady of the Zong family before, and I experienced an episode in the middle that Zong Youlin almost fell into a bad position, so I couldn't help but make some associations.

Let's just say anything, after all, the series of events in the murderous house back then can be regarded as settled, and there is no need to dwell on it now.

The problem now is that if things were like this back then, then the series of murders involved in this murder house are obviously a revenge, or murder.

No matter who is pretending to be a ghost behind their backs, either the purpose is to monopolize the property swindled from the Zong family, or they want to avenge the Zong family who died unjustly.

Now all the people who were implicated back then have died seventy-seven or eighty-eight, leaving nothing to live, and those who can still live safely and soundly are all inconsequential little characters.

In this case, either the people behind the scenes have revenge, or it is enough to cover up the truth of the events of the year, and there is no need to continue to take risks and kill people, this matter has returned to calm, and it is estimated that there will be no more storms. ”

"Yes, I originally thought that this incident had a bad impact, but after arriving in the local area, I also found that these people were just timid and afraid, and believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, so they felt that the house was unlucky, and avoided it from afar.

Or maybe you don't really have any reverence for ghosts and gods, but you just use it as an after-dinner conversation to have fun. ”

Ye Yuanzhou also felt this way, but it also made him feel a little puzzled: "Since this matter is not in Yuzhou at all, or it can't talk about Yuzhou, and even the boundaries of Tonghe County have not caused any bad effects of public resentment, why did the Holy Lord send us over?"

I really can't think of anything, what is there in this murderous mansion that is worth our secret investigation and disposal? ”

"yes, that's a bit interesting." Du Ruo rubbed his chin with his fingers, thoughtful.

"In that case, we ...... over there in the murderous mansion of the Zong family" Ye Yuanzhou hesitated a little, judging from the information they had learned, there was really nothing worth exploring about this murderous mansion, but if he didn't investigate, he didn't know how to go back to recover his life.

"There's nothing difficult to do, we're here, and we naturally have to take a look at the murderous house." Du Ruo also probably sorted out her thoughts at this time, and she smiled at Ye Yuanzhou, "Do you remember what feelings I had after I entered the palace with you before?" ”

Ye Yuanzhou recalled: "You said that although the emperor is in a high position in the palace, his eyes and ears are outside the high walls, and what he hears is what others want him to know, and what he sees is what others want him to see." ”

"Yes, I didn't know much about the situation of the murderous house when I got here, and my feelings became even stronger!" Du Ruo sighed, "So Your Majesty can solemnly hand over this matter to us to do, naturally because he thinks it is necessary to investigate this matter."

As for why he felt the need to investigate this matter, it was naturally because there were people around him who wanted him to think that this matter was very important and needed our help. ”
