65. The scholar is miserable
It is good to refine a town house talisman, Wang Qilin pasted it at the door of the house.
In this way, the manpower is freed, and there is no need to leave people to guard the tower, and there is no need to worry about being stolen by some demons and monsters.
The three of them rushed to the county government together, just in time to catch the head Dou Dachun on duty.
Knowing that Wang Qilin wanted to help him solve the scholarly murder case, this iron man almost shed tears like molten iron: "Lord Wang, you are really Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, if you can help me find out this case, then Dou will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life." ”
He once asked Shi Zhoushan for help, but Shi Zhoushan was helpless.
Wang Qilin hugged his fists and said: "Lord Dou is polite, Wang is embarrassed, he can only help each other, and he may not be able to do better than adults." Seeing that you are so urgent, is there a new murder?"
Dou Dachun shook his head: "No, but there are only two days left before the county master gives us the time to solve the case." ”
Wang Qilin hesitated for a moment: "Two days......?
"It's okay, it's okay," Dou Dachun gave him a look, "The brothers have already found a death row prisoner to discuss with him, and as soon as the two-day deadline is up, he will carry the black cauldron." ”
Xu Da and Xie Toad glanced at each other, and smiled slightly.
Wang Qilin understood the cattiness in it, and he frowned and disapproved of doing so.
Impunity for the guilty is the minimum justice.
Dou Dachun's ability to catch heads is not just by relying on the two taels of meat on his chest, he is a human essence, and when he saw Wang Qilin's expression, he understood what he meant, so he said in a low voice: "It's not that we don't check, but we are just looking for someone to carry the pot for the time being, one is to be with the above, and the other is to appease the people." ”
It is important to reassure the people, and it is said that the Confucian students in this county are busy packing their packages and preparing to run away.
Those who have horses in the family have already run away on horseback, and those who have cattle in the family have also run away in ox carts, but fortunately it is not winter, otherwise the scholars would have to run away even if they used dogs to pull the plows.
Wang Qilin nodded and asked him to recount the case.
Dou Dachun has nothing to say, anyway, four scholars have died in the county, all of them are terrible, the lightest head and body are separated, and the most serious one is divided into several pieces, his father and mother pushed open the door in the morning and saw that the old couple smoked on the spot.
Wang Qilin asked, "What is the approximate time of the death of the four scholars?"
Dou Dachun said: "This trick can't be broken, it's night anyway, because these four scholars were all found dead by their families in the morning." ”
Wang Qilin asked, "Why are they found out by their families in the morning? None of the four scholars have a family, or are they used to sleeping on their own?"
Dou Dachun smiled bitterly: "No, they studied for four nights. ”
Wang Qilin couldn't help but sigh softly: "It turned out that they were still four hard-working scholars, but it's a pity that my New Han Dynasty lost four pillars." ”
Xu laughed and said: "What kind of diligence and hard work? Scholars like to read at night, and during the day, they have to go around to have fun, drink and go for spring." ”
"You were like that then?" Wang Qilin teased.
Xu Da flicked his sleeves and said: "How can Uncle be like this? Uncle drinks and has fun during the day, and listens to music at night. ”
"Then when are you going to study?" Xie Toad asked.
Wang Qilin smiled disdainfully: "Just him, study, learn a fart!"
Hearing this conversation, Dou Dachun's black pot face showed a look of shock: "Who is Lord Xu?"
"That's right, it's Xiucai. ”
Dou Dachun's eyes suddenly burst out.
This rammed goods are taller than themselves, thicker than themselves, a pair of big hands are full of calluses, and they spray feces with a mouth, and they can see that it is an old rough embryo with the back eye, but it turned out to be a showman?
Xie Toad waved his sleeves helplessly and said, "Aren't we talking about the case?"
Wang Qilin said: "Yes, let's continue to talk." All four of them died silently, is there anything strange about the scene of the crime, the room where they died?"
Dou Dachun said: "Naturally, there is, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bother to listen to the intervention of the heavenly prison." ”
"These four cases have one thing in common, that is, because the weather is still cold, the doors and windows of the scholars' study are closed, and they are all plugged in from the inside. I checked, the doors and windows are fine, the roof is not porous, and there is no passage underground, but the person died. ”
Wang Qilin nodded, a murder case in a closed room.
Xie Toad asked in a deep voice, "What are the days of death of the four scholars?"
Dou Dachun folded his hands and said: "Starting from the fourth day of the first month of this month, the fourth day of the first month, the sixth day of the first month, the eighth day of the first month, and the tenth day of the first month, and today is the twelfth." ”
No wonder the county government is in a hurry, this demon killed the scholar obviously in an even number, and it is likely that another scholar will die tonight.
Xie Toad asked again: "The life and death of the four books are miserable, but they should still be different, you can describe them to me according to the way they were when they died." ”
Dou Dachun said: "The first scholar who died was called Zhao Hang, he was the lightest, and his head was cut off. The second scholar who died was called Hua Xiaoyi, and he died lightly, his stomach was opened, and his heart was gouged out of his liver. The third, the third, the third......"
When he got here, his eyes straightened.
"Why didn't you say it?"
Dou Dachun said in horror: "This Taoist master didn't mention it, I really didn't notice this, the life and death of these four books are getting worse and worse! The last one has simply become a human stick!"
Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad.
Xie Toad nodded solemnly and said, "Lao Dao has some guesses. ”
"The dead are all scholars, this is one of the weirdness, the scholar was killed exactly one day apart, this is the second weird, the scholar's death is getting worse and worse, this is the weird third, then ......"
Wang Qilin answered: "There is only one truth, let the Taoist tell it!"
Xie Toad said: "There should be a mountain spirit hidden in the county, and it is absorbing the talent of the scholar to cultivate!"
"You see, this demon has been killing one person every other day since the fourth day of the new year, do you think it deliberately chooses an even number of days to attack? No, it kills one person every other day, because every time it kills people and sucks away its talents, it spends a day cultivating and collecting them for its own use!"
Dou Dachunhu was suspicious: "If it sucks its talent and kills people, then why does it still cut off people's heads and divide their bodies? And the further it goes, the more ferocious it becomes?"
Xie Toad sneered: "This is the shrewdness of the demon, if it only sucks away popularity, then the scholar's face is as usual and there are no wounds, isn't it equivalent to telling others that it is the devil who is doing it?"
"The more it goes, the more ruthless it becomes, and it should be that after seeing blood, its temperament begins to become more and more arrogant and ferocious. ”
Dou Dachun couldn't help but applaud: "The Taoist chief sorted out this case in just a few words, it's really amazing." ”
Wang Qilin also applauded: "Master, this is a master!"
Xie Toad pinched the Fa Yin with one hand and sang: "Amitayus, the old way is just a few more years to live, a few more bowls of rice, and a few more bridges." ”
"You really gasped when you said you were fat," Wang Qilin couldn't help laughing, "We haven't even seen the scene yet, and you can deduce this case based on this bit of information?"
If he hadn't seen Shi Zhoushan's power, then he might have believed Xie Toad's inference.
But if this matter is really that simple, Shi Zhoushan can't help it?
He picked up the demon knife and said: "Lord Dou, please arrange for your subordinates to take us to the victim's house to have a look, and at the same time trouble you one more thing, please do an investigation of the people in the county to see if there are any victims who have died in a similar way." ”
Dou Dachun said: "No, if there is an unnatural death in the people's homes, our government will be notified." ”
Wang Qilin said: "Then go and check the homes of people who are not ordinary people." ”
