Chapter 21: Another Murder
Another homicide?
Li Zhai was helpless, he felt that he was about to become a broom star, and he could encounter a dead person or something wherever he went.
But if you want to ask Kong Yilong for help, you must solve his troubles first, otherwise he will not be able to do this head catcher in three days, let alone avenge the Shen family.
Li Zhai nodded and said no problem.
Next, he asks where the victim's body is.
Kong Yilong said: "The body of Master Liu Yunian is in the Liu family, and the bodies of the husband Wei Lao Wu and Liu Lian'er have been buried, and the body of the young master of the Qian family should be buried today......
"Let's go, let's go to Liu's house and have a look. ”
Kong Yilong said that his husband Wei Lao Wu and prostitute Liu Lian'er had been buried before he arrived.
The reason is also very simple, the two have been dead for too long, even if the case cannot be solved, the corpses will stink and cannot be stored in the county government all the time.
And the Qian family is wealthy, and it is impossible to hand over the young master's body to outsiders for disposal.
After a few days of waiting for the results of solving the case, they can only find a feng shui treasure and put people into the ground first.
There is a time set by the county magistrate, including Kong Yilong, and no one is unwilling to solve the case as soon as possible.
Therefore, after Li Zhai proposed to go to Liu's house to check the body, Du Weipeng, Hou San, Ma Yu and others all followed, without a trace of slackness.
The Liu family is also a famous family in Dongcheng, Changping County.
The high gatehouse, the bright gate, the upper and lower horse stones outside the steps, and the stone lions of the town house are naturally not lacking.
It's just that today's Liu family's white cloth hangs high, and the anger is full of depression.
At the gate, several family members wearing black cloth on their cuffs did not dare to stop Kong Yilong, who had only left in the morning, to come to the door again.
"Master Kong, how many poor masters, do you have a clue?"
The middle-aged woman who was kneeling in the mourning hall to guard the old man's spirit heard the footsteps, turned around and got up and rushed to Kong Yilongdao.
The neighborhood is rumoring that some demons and ghosts are asking for their lives, saying that Liu Yunian has done nothing less than immorality, as his wife, the Liu family hopes to catch the real murderer as soon as possible and return the Liu family to an innocence.
When she spoke, the concubines and children of Liu Yunian's concubines who wore linen and filial piety in the mourning hall also cast inquiring eyes.
"Not yet, but there should be news in three days at most.
In order to solve the case as soon as possible, we need to inspect the scene again, and that's okay, right?"
Kong Yilong Road.
When Li Zhai came, he had a bottom in his heart, saying that three days would not be used at all, because he could set up an altar to summon spirits tonight.
"No problem, ladies and gentlemen, please!"
With Liu's permission, Li Zhai, accompanied by Kong Yilong, walked directly to the coffin in the middle of the hall.
Liu Yunian died less than twelve hours ago, and relatives and friends came to mourn, so he would not cover the coffin.
Li Zhai could see at a glance that the white-faced and beardless old man Liu Yunian, who looked to be in his fifties, had many scratches on his neck and cheeks, and the fatal wound was the wound that cut his throat.
And he has a lot of muscle and skin tissue in his own fingernails.
In order to facilitate the solving of the case, although Liu Yunian was put on new clothes and buried, his nails were not cleaned.
In terms of the size of the nail and the depth of the scratch, self-harm is the most likely.
"Hmm~, there's no remnant of the sinister aura, isn't it?"
Li Zhai turned on his spiritual powers, stared at the corpse in the coffin and observed carefully, he found that there was no trace of external evil aura in the other party's body, so he couldn't help but move in his heart.
After Zhou Wenjun was strangled to death by Zheng Xiuxiu's ghost, his body was contaminated with a yin and evil aura that did not belong to him.
If Liu Yunian was really as rumored by the outside world, if he was possessed by an evil spirit and asked for his life, it would never be so peaceful.
Li Zhai believed that he was not mistaken.
Because he is now a fourth-level demon hunter, his spiritual eyes are much stronger than a few days ago, and it is impossible to miss the abnormalities of the other party's body.
"Brother Li Dao, what have you discovered?" Kong Yilong couldn't help but ask when he saw him retract his gaze.
"Let's go, go to the scene of the murder?"
Li Zhai smiled and said nothing, looked around at everyone present, and proposed to inspect the scene after knowing it.
Kong Yilong knew that he had something inconvenient to say in public, so he nodded and took him to the inner house of Liufu.
"Brother Li, this is the study where the Liu family reported the case and found Liu Yunian's death......"
After passing through the house, several people came to a study, Kong Yilong pushed open the door of the hidden room and introduced him to the Li house.
According to Liu and others, Liu Yunian has the habit of reading at night, and he has three wives and concubines, and he does not necessarily go to which wife's bedroom to rest.
The Liu family didn't care too much, and only asked the maid to send a bowl of lotus ear porridge.
At that time, the little maid went back and said that the master was fine, but after dawn, the three women all said that the master did not go to her, and then they found out that the situation was wrong.
"Really, what about the bowl of lotus ear porridge? Is there any leftover? Do you want to take it for inspection?"
Li Zhai asked while checking the situation in the house.
"Well, no. Kong Yilong and the others looked at each other, he didn't know why Li Zhai asked this question.
Isn't this a demon asking for his life? And there is more than one victim? Could he be suspicious of the Shen family?
"Her suspicion can't be ruled out," Li Zhai saw Kong Yilong's thoughts, and he said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going to take someone to check. ”
Kong Yilong agreed, and ordered Du Weipeng and Hou San to stay and obey Li Zhai's dispatch, while he took Ma Yu and Song Dalong straight to the front hall.
The chair next to the desk fell to the ground, a pool of dried blood was nearby, and the blue bricks on the ground showed signs of shoe soles rubbing against the feet.
Li Zhai asked Du Weipeng and learned that the explanation given by Qi Zuo was that Liu Yunian should have difficulty breathing and was delirious before his death, so he kicked hard and scratched his cheeks and neck.
"Immortal Li Chang, did you say that the evil ghost who asked for his life strangled his neck from behind, and Master Liu ......?"
Hou San leaned over and whispered, his little eyes were full of palpitations, for fear of angering the so-called evil ghosts.
"No, there are so many ghosts, don't scare yourself. ”
Li Zhai smiled and patted Hou San on the shoulder.
Since there was no more evidence in the house, Li Zhai beckoned Hou San and Du Weipeng to leave.
When passing by the front hall, they saw Liu, who was crying with Kong Yilong:
"Official, the conscience of heaven and earth, how could I murder the master, last night's soup pots and bowls and spoons were all cleaned by the subordinates, and they were also afraid that they would spoil ...... time"
"Liu, when did the head of this catch suspect you, it's just a routine inspection, you don't have to do this. ”
Kong Yilong said, with a burst of helplessness on his face.
Fortunately, seeing the three of Li Zhai coming, Kong Yilong hurriedly abandoned the Liu family and came to him.
"Brother Li, what do you think we should do now?"
"Leave first and go to Qian's house. ”
Li Zhai waved his hand and motioned Kong Yilong to be restless.
The group left Liu's house and headed towards the Qian family.
Crackling, before I reached the Qian family, there was a burst of firecrackers and suona on the street, and it was the Qian family's funeral procession that had already set off.
In the middle of the team, a mahogany coffin is placed in a sedan chair, and more than a dozen people work together to lift it, and there are suona gongs and drums, and paper money is flying all over the sky.
"Brother Li, we're a step too late, I'm afraid we won't be able to perform an autopsy. ”
At this time, it is a bit inappropriate to open the coffin again, because it is taboo for the coffin to land halfway or unstable repair, let alone let the other party stop opening the coffin.
Kong Yilong, who was standing on the side of the street and watching the Qian family's funeral procession, couldn't help frowning.
