Chapter 17: The Truth One

Although this case file seems ordinary, Lin Fengjin can be sure that the mastermind behind the scenes must have left some crucial flaws in the case file! That's why he didn't hesitate to come forward to destroy this thing!

So what you have to do is very simple, that is, carefully check the suspicions in it, and find out what the black hand behind the scenes wants to hide and annihilate!

The flame of the candle flickered dimly, and the records of the case file were very mixed, including the confessions of the surrounding neighbors, the introduction of rumors, the oral evidence of the officials after the evidence was collected at the scene, and the corpse grid left behind after the autopsy.

However, with Lin Fengjin's careful study, an extremely strange and dangerous story was gradually presented in front of him between the lines.

This story happened three years ago,

To be precise, it was April 13 three years ago, which happened to be the rainy season among the 24 solar terms.

The cold rain was about to fall into Cui Shijie's bones.

Cui Shijie is the owner of Cuijiazhuang, because he once served in the army, and then retired after becoming a captain, so his prestige is very high. Of course, the dark wounds left by the arrow sores and knife wounds left by the battle in front also made him often toss and turn in the cold and wet weather, and he almost didn't have time to close his eyes at night.

At this time, there was a Lang Zhong from Youfang who came here and gave Cui Shijie a few injections, which turned out to be extremely effective. But Lang Zhong told him that this kind of acupuncture at this time can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, if he continues to pierce for a few more days, it may relieve the symptoms, but it is also possible that the pain will be worse in the future.

Cui Shijie was deeply troubled by illness, and at this time, a glass of poisonous wine was placed in front of him, and he was willing to drink it, so how could he not gamble?

You Fanglang Zhong prescribed a patch of medicine. He instructed that if you take it for ten days in a row, you can cut off the root of the old problem, but you must not drink alcohol or get close to women during these ten days, Cui Shijie naturally agreed.

(There is also an annotation in the case file here, saying that the prescription prescribed by You Fang Lang has never been found.) )

But he drank this decoction every day, and he didn't think it at first, but then the more he drank this decoction, the more he craved for wine, and he gritted his teeth and persevered for eight days, and he was craving for wine at that time. But as if the thirsty traveler in the desert was almost dying of thirst, he finally broke the vows.

After getting drunk, the wine color was originally one, and immediately pulled the concubine next to him to the room, hearty, and immediately broke all the two taboos.

As a result, after the tenth day, after taking the decoction, the pain became even worse. Cui Shijie was in pain and wanted to die and wailed for days, but at this time, he sent out Lu to find the family of You Fang Lang, who was still practicing medicine in a few villages next door, to invite back You Fang Langzhong.

Na Lang Zhong came. Cui Shijie was speechless, so he could only take out a lot of money and beg Lang Zhong to save him, but Lang Zhong said that his illness at this time could no longer be treated by simple medicine. He had to use the power of ghosts and gods, so he asked him to build a temple outside the village!

The Cui family was originally a big family, and at this time, it was obedient to this Langzhong. Soon, the temple was built according to Na Langzhong's words. Lang Zhong said that he wanted Cui Shijie to send a blood woman to serve the god devoutly, and only after using divine power and medicinal power could it work.

Cui Shijie has three daughters under his knees, one is married, and the other two are in the boudoir, hearing that his father is seriously ill, he took the initiative to go to serve in the temple, hoping that the old father can get rid of the torture of illness.

However, these two daughters only went to the temple for three days, and when they went home to change their clothes, the cook was horrified to find that the second and third ladies actually ran into the kitchen in the middle of the night, walked very stiffly, and secretly ate raw meat!!

(On the case file, the place where the two daughters eat raw meat is circled with an ink pen, and the annotation next to it is: Rumors of the countryside are false, and they are suspected of being false.) )

Then strange dead people began to appear in the village, and the first to die were the second and third ladies who went to serve the god of Kui, and the two of them were found dead in the temple of the god of Kui. Next, on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, someone in the village will die violently, and their expressions before death are dull and sluggish.

(The remarks on the case file show that at this time, the You Fang Langzhong has disappeared, and it is a very strange kind of evaporation in the world, and even the dog in Cuijiazhuang is not alarmed.) )

When the people died for two months in a row, the people in Cuijiazhuang became afraid, and the strange things of the two young ladies eating raw meat before their deaths also began to circulate, and some people claimed that they were haunted by zombies, and Cui Shijie was tortured by illness at this time, and he couldn't stop it at all, so the villagers forcibly dug up the grave of the second daughter, ready to carry out the body for burning.

After they opened the coffin, they found that the coffin containing the two daughters was actually empty!

(There are also comments on the case file here: Foolish people! If the coffin is left, there are still some clues in this case)

The next thing is almost the same as Lin Feng's knowledge, but the people of Cuijiazhuang are continuing to die, no one can endure this torture, and the villagers have moved away, and at this time, the old man Cui suddenly went crazy and hacked to death two families who wanted to move out, but after killing people, he slowly came to his senses.

At this time, it is natural for Cui Shijie to be arrested and entered the yamen, and the case file records that he was imprisoned in the No. 3 cell of Bingku, but his mind has been tortured by illness at this time and almost collapsed, and what he has to do every day seems to be grinning and smirking, screaming when he is tortured, and only at three o'clock in the afternoon every day, when the yang energy is at its peak, it seems to have regained his senses.

However, after staying in the yamen for three days, the old man actually began to gnaw his fingers with relish, and when he found out, only his wrists were left in both hands, and if he hadn't tied them up in time, then he would have to gnaw off both of his hands together!

(The comment on the case file at this time is that the official Lao He said that Cui Shijie was more like a madman when he was sober, and it was better for him to be crazy.) ”

Then Cui Shijie on the fourth day, there was no time to be sober, he went completely crazy, and he died after half a month, because his immediate family members all died, and the rest of the Cuijiazhuang people fled one after another, and no one claimed the body, and was directly thrown into the mass grave in the west of the city.

After reading the case file, Lin Fengjin closed his eyes for a long time, and then opened them, he picked up the pen and first wrote the words "You Fang Langzhong" on the paper.

Needless to say, this person is the real murderer.

According to Lin Fengjin's inference, it is likely that he successfully gained Cui Shijie's trust by using a temporary method similar to anesthesia sealing, and then implemented his own plan. It's a pity that this guy slipped away very quickly, and the eyewitnesses' descriptions of him were all very popular things, and there was no clue left at all.

Secondly, Lin Fengjin wrote down the words "Ya Servant Lao He", although this person was only mentioned, but as the direct manager of Cui Shijie, Lin Fengjin believes that the bloody incident of Cui Shijie's finger gnawing and the violent death should have a certain connection with him, in fact, the mastermind behind the scenes can only implement some plans through him. However, according to Lin Fengjin's inference, according to the murderer's actions, this person should have been killed.

Then, Lin Fengjin wrote down the location of the mass grave in the west of the city, after all, this is the place where Cui Shijie was buried, although it is difficult to find it after three years, but if his body can be found, it is also an unexpected joy.

So, is this the end of the clue? Lin Fengjin frowned and thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and another name was written.

But after writing one more name, he seemed to be inspired, and when he re-rolled the paper, it seemed that he was still unsatisfied, and then added another name, and then blew out the lamp.

Life in Canggui County passed quickly, and a cadre of students was reluctant to give up the work of the clerk at hand, and then returned to the academy.

The outer disciples were still quite grateful to Lin Fengjin, because the resources allocated to the outer disciples were limited, and the case files that could be provided to them for transcription were also distributed to the people. Lin Fengjin didn't want to be embarrassed by his dog-like words, and secondly, he didn't look down on the small money that copied the case file, so the task assigned to his own family file was often given to his classmates.

And Lin Fengjin's attitude is also very kind, not putting on an arrogant appearance of "come to eat", but very respectful of people to ask if they are free first, and then come to ask for help, which cleverly maintains the self-esteem of poor scholars.

Of course, copying the case file is a small amount of money for Lin Fengjin, and for those scholars from poor families, it is a very considerable income, so these classmates really hope that Lin Fengjin will come to him for "help". Lin Fengjin is also a balance of interests, and everyone has asked for it, so he has done a very good job in terms of popularity.

After returning to Tianchang Academy, according to the custom, the performance of each scholar should be scored, in order to show justice, this score is given by the leading scholars, but the score given must be recognized by more than half of the scholars in the same industry.

Among them, Zheng Gong and Shen Gu got the excellent assessment, but surprisingly, Lin Fengjin also got an excellent one.

What's even more surprising is that this excellent class has barely passed the approval of half of the people!!This is really a surprise to everyone, including Tu Xuezheng. (To be continued......)
