Chapter 29: Water Ghosts

Every criminal feels that he is forced to be helpless, but a crime is a crime, and even if Lu Waibei's family is rich, he cannot get any preferential treatment.

Even the case of Lu Waibei killing He Qiuning is not worthy of appearing in Six Doors alone.

Xia Yue said coldly: "Did you kill Lin Ling too?" ”

Lu Waibei shook his head again and again: "No, I didn't kill Lin Ling." I have no grievances with her, how could I kill her. ”

"But Lin Ling also died in the Octagonal Pavilion, the same way as He Ningqiu."

"That's what I learned." Lu Waibei finally admitted: "I thought, if He Ningqiu and Lin Ling died the same, you would definitely think that it was done by one person, and you would stare at the previous murderer and not suspect me." ”

This is the same as Ye Caitang guessed before, a typical imitation crime.

Xia Yue asked a few more words, and saw that Lu Waibei really didn't know anything about Lin Ling's death, so he asked him to take him down.

In fact, what he mainly investigated was the murder of Lin Ling, because that case was unusual. If it was just He Ningqiu, or a homeless man who was killed by Ding Lang, it would not be enough to enter the sight of the six doors.

Ye Caitang suddenly remembered what Xia Yue had said before.

"I remember that the adult once said that Lin Ling's case is not the first case, there are similar cases, what's going on?"

Before, Xia Yue also said that he would give her the file, but then there was something every night, and he forgot about it for a while.

Xia Yue responded and asked the master to go and get it, and soon, he got back a yellowed dossier.

Xia Yue said with his hands behind his back: "Seven years ago, there was a similar case in Liu Zong County. At that time, it was two families competing for a water source, one Wang family and one Zhou family. It's a lot of fun. One day during a violent storm, on an old tree in the center of the water source, a child of the Wang family was hanged from that tree. ”

Ye Caitang also opened the file, Xia Yue must have read this file many times, and what he said was basically the same as the record.

At that time, there were also more than a dozen villagers, and in full view of everyone, a piece of old clothes floated in the air, and no matter how much the children struggled, they could not break free. And behind the child, there is no one. ”

"The water source is the junction of two rivers, and there is a small piece of soil in the center of the river, after the people of Wangjia Village found out about this situation, they immediately rushed over regardless of the wind and rain, but it was too late, the child was strangled under everyone's noses, and the murderer did not even see a shadow."

That's basically the same as Lin Ling's death. It's no wonder that in the first place, Six Doors took over the case.

Ye Caitang said: "What about later? ”

Xia Yue said helplessly: "No matter where the deceased was found, it can be suspected that the other party is hating because of hatred." But now dozens of people are under their noses, and half of them are from the Wang family and half from the Zhou family, in this case, even if the people of the Wang family are suspicious, there is no way to say that the Zhou family did it. Of course, what the Zhou family said was also ugly, saying that the Wang family had done something immoral and had bad retribution, and it was a lot of trouble. ”

Seven years ago, Xia Yue was not a head catcher and did not participate in the case, but when he heard the older generation talk about it, he shook his head and sighed.

"The government also attaches great importance to it, but after checking for a long time, I haven't found anything, and in the Zhou family's village, I haven't found witchcraft." Xia Yue said: "This case has to be regarded as an unsolved case, and it will not be resolved." ”

Wang Tongyi patted his thigh and said, "My mother, this is a water ghost." ”

Everyone was startled and turned to look at him.

Wang Tong was a little stunned, and scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers: "Isn't it?" When it was a storm both times, and both times it was at the water's edge, isn't it a water ghost? ”

Ye Caitang nodded at him: "Brother Wang is right, but it may not be a water ghost, but this matter may have something to do with the wind and rain, and there are very favorable conditions for committing crimes in this kind of weather." ”

It can block the view to a certain extent and confuse the public.

Xia Yue nodded and said, "I wasn't there back then, and it involved a dispute between two families, and there was a large population. This case is actually much simpler, even if all the people involved in the case are not more than the people of one family. ”

And the case has just been released, and all the clues are still there, but they may be hiding somewhere secretly, and they have not been noticed by them for the time being.

After all, Ye Caitang is unmatched in the knowledge base reserve, she knocked on the file and said: "I think the water ghost is a train of thought, of course I don't mean the real water ghost, I'm talking about people similar to the water ghost, this murderer's water nature must be very good, I don't know what happened to the water source before, but the lotus pond of the Meng family's old mansion, now the lotus leaves are luxuriant, if someone hides underwater, and it is that kind of weather and environment, it can be done without being discovered." ”

Ye Caitang was glad that he was there at the time, and he was at the forefront.

So she can be sure that the environment at that time was indeed very chaotic, with strong winds and rains, lotus leaves swaying, and people dying in the pavilion.

Others didn't dare to approach, although she was close, but she was a first responder, and when it was determined that Lin Ling could not be saved, the time between Lin Ling's death was enough for a person to quietly slip away from the lotus pond.

Another blockade is a matter after the government comes, and it is enough for the murderer to escape. And because of the weather at that time, a person who was soaked in a soaking coat walking on the road would never arouse anyone's suspicion. Because everybody is like that.

A person who has a very good water nature, has a lot of strength in his hands, has been to Liu Zong County, has a grudge with the Meng family, or has a grudge with Lu Waibei, and will have some strange methods.

Ye Caitang knocked on the dossier and said seriously: "You say, does Kim Zhengli know water?" ”

It's no wonder that Ye Caitang has always been suspicious of Kim Jong-li, although he didn't profit from it, but his reputation and character really don't correspond to what he does, and a bad guy suddenly does good things, there must always be a reason for the change.

The capital is not a watery place, and no one knows whether Kim Jong-ri will be able to water.

Fortunately, Xia Yue's subordinates have many people who can be used.

"That's easy to do." Xia Yue said: "Just give it a try." ”

Poor Kim Jong-li, somehow, when passing by the small river ditch at the edge of the village on this day, the road that would not fall with his eyes closed suddenly slipped under his feet, and he slipped into the small river ditch so smoothly.

The edge of the water in the small ditch is only about shoulder to shoulder, but the center is a little deeper than a person, and a person who knows how to swim in it can stabilize his body by pulling twice in it. But people who don't know how to be watery must shout for help.

Xia Yue just wanted to test Kim Jong-li, of course he couldn't drown him, someone hid on the side of the road and watched, if he pulled a few times and shouted for help, he hurried to drag people up.

But Kim Jong-ri did not cry for help.

His subordinates came back and reported: "My lord, Kim Jong-ri knows how to water, and after a few flutters, he came up from the ditch." ”
