Chapter 1: Ghost Kills
"Dead man, dead man......"
The terrible screams pierced the rainy night, and one person rushed out.
A bunch of workers at the gate of the yard were sheltering from the rain, and everyone stopped them in surprise and asked who, who was dead.
"Lin Ling, it's Lin Ling." The man broke free from everyone and ran out: "There is a ghost in the lotus pond who wants to kill her, report to the officer." ”
When these words were shouted, Ye Caitang had already run inside, Lin Ling was a good sister of her neighbor, what kind of joke did she make in the blue sky and curse people to death, and the others were stunned and hurriedly followed.
The lotus pond is not far from here, and there is a few people rushing over in the rain when they are out of the courtyard and the corridor.
Not only stopped, but also retreated, one by one, the rain was wet and slippery, and some people slipped and sat on the ground, but they forgot to get up, so they supported the ground with their hands and retreated.
"Ghost, ghost...... someone shouted in a shudder, pointing ahead, his face pale.
At the end of the corridor is an arch bridge, at the end of the arch bridge, is an octagonal pavilion, behind the octagonal pavilion, is the lotus pond, at this time the lotus leaves are dancing in the wind and rain.
On the octagonal pavilion, there was a soaking wet woman, it was Lin Ling, who was hired to work with them, she was the same age as Ye Caitang, thin and petite, at this time, with a black satin around her neck, the whole person was hung on the beam of the octagonal pavilion.
Her hands hung at her sides, her feet off the ground, hanging in the air, the black silk slowly tightening, as if someone was pulling a rope behind her.
And the weird thing is that there is no one behind her.
No one was clutching the silk.
The octagonal pavilion is so big, there are four supporting pillars on all sides, and then a flat top above, and the rest of the place is unobstructed, and absolutely no one can hide it.
And the black silk that strangled Lin Ling crossed into a knot around her neck, and the other two ends floated in the wind like this, as if they were alive.
Someone wanted to step forward, but was dragged by the person behind him.
"Ghost, there's a ghost, the hanged ghost is looking for a stand-in." The old man trembled and said, "Don't, don't go over......"
Ye Caitang didn't even pay attention to it, and rushed over without stopping.
She used to be a medical examiner, and she knew the process and outcome of every death.
Hanging, weak neck muscles, anterior position, inelastic noose, can kill a person in as fast as three minutes. And Lin Ling saw it from the moment she rushed in, and she hadn't moved.
Ye Caitang quickly hugged the swaying Lin Ling in the wind and rain, but she could only lift people slightly higher by herself, and she couldn't put people down no matter what. She turned her head and shouted, "What the hell, don't come and save ...... quickly"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Caitang only felt that Lin Ling shook violently in his hand, and the whole person fell, slammed on the ground with a bang, and dragged her down along the way.
Everyone was frightened, and they didn't dare to step forward now, and when they looked up, they saw that the black silk that strangled Lin Ling had already floated out with the wind and fell in the dense lotus leaves.
Ye Caitang didn't know this, she quickly got up, patted Lin Ling's face twice, leaned over and probed that she was no longer breathing, and immediately turned her face slightly to the side, clasped her hands, and pressed violently on her chest.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and several villagers only felt creepy when they looked at Ye Caitang's weird and crazy movements.
Two quarters of an hour passed, Lin Ling still didn't move, Ye Caitang's arm was already sore, she suddenly rested all her strength, and sat back.
can't be saved, Lin Ling, still dead.
and died in front of his own eyes.
Ye Caitang's face was bloodless washed by the rain, and she gasped for breath, she slowly looked up at the beam with an expressionless face.
Lin Ling did die strangely, but she never believed that there were ghosts in the world.
Who killed you?
Ye Caitang came to Liumen for the first time, and the official messenger came quickly, and several people who worked together were regarded as suspects and interrogated, but no one could say why.
When Ye Caitang was released, Lin Ling's mother also arrived, and in the morgue, she watched her daughter crying and collapsed on the ground.
Ye Caitang walked in, Aunt Lin looked up and saw her, shouted, got up and hugged her: "Why is this happening, Xiaoling is so gone......"
Ye Caitang was still drenched and embarrassed.
She shook her head slowly, not knowing what to say, and said for a while: "The government, I will definitely find out." ”
The corpse that just died is hiding the most information, and when she was in the Octagonal Pavilion, Ye Caitang's first aid was over, and before she could catch her breath, someone from the government came, and she was brought into the interrogation process as a suspect, and she didn't look at the corpse again.
Now that she saw the corpse, she reflexively stepped forward to take a look, but as soon as she took a step closer, she was stopped by the official standing aside.
"Don't come near." The official said with a straight face.
Ye Caitang hurriedly said: "I'm her sister, I want to see her." ”
"Nope." The official was not accommodating at all: "The identification of the body is correct, you can go back first to prepare for the future." Send another piece of clothing to change the deceased, and when the murderer is caught, someone will notify you. ”
They are all ordinary people, although Mother Lin is sad, she doesn't dare to say much in this kind of place. I glanced at my daughter again and hurried back to prepare.
Ye Caitang didn't want to leave, but she couldn't say a word here, so she had to walk out slowly, and when she walked to the patio, she saw the three words of six doors and suddenly stopped.
On the other side of the courtyard, there was the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and someone was walking inside.
"That's not right." Ye Caitang looked at the majestic gatehouse and muttered, "It's not right. ”
The official who led the way said impatiently: "What's wrong? ”
Although the dead people in the family are indeed sad, they have seen too many such things, and they will not feel too much.
Ye Caitang said: "Although the six doors are also a place to investigate the case, they are all difficult and mysterious serious cases, why is Lin Ling's case divided into six doors?" ”
Could it be that the government also thinks that her death is weird, and it is the work of ghosts and gods?
As a rural woman who has never dealt with the government in her life, Mother Lin can't tell the difference between them, they are all official mansions, and they are all official masters.
But Ye Caitang can tell the difference.
In the Imperial City of Daliang, the yamen manages general public security and criminal incidents, and even stealing chickens and dogs to quarrel with neighbors, you can go to the gate of the yamen to beat drums and voice grievances.
The six doors are the secret yamen, which belong to the criminal department, if it is placed in her time, it belongs to the serious crime team, unless they attribute Lin Ling's death to a strange case, it proves that they can put the blame on the ghosts and gods at any time.
But the official didn't plan to talk to her too much, seeing that she couldn't stand still, she directly started to pull it, where could Ye Caitang compete with this kind of power, he was pulled and staggered, and almost fell.
"Stop."
A voice shouted, and with that, a tall man walked in through the door.
