In the month of the year before last, there were nine cold days.

"The weather was fine at first, and I remember very well that the big man was sweating and the fat man was sweating and oily. Yang Dazui said in a deep voice, "Then we quickly got the news that you heard from the Heavenly Prison and found the traces of the Thousand Faces Langjun. ”

Thousand-faced Langjun is an existence that has made many mothers-in-law in Jixiang County frightened.

It is rumored that this person will change his face, and he will always become a pretty gentleman to attract everyone's ladies and famous ladies, he plays with the delicate bodies of the ladies and deceives everyone's famous property, so that everyone in the county who has a daughter to be treated in the boudoir is frightened.

"In fact, everything is just a rumor, Qianmian Langjun will not change his face, he is not a cultivator, he is a mask-hiding master, he is very good at makeup, and he can pinch his voice and change his voice, many girls in the city and countryside have lost their lives to him, this was our first important case that year. ”

The masking master is the mortuary, and it is a very evil job to take care of the appearance and tidy up the clothes of the deceased at the funeral.

They are indeed very good at makeup, and they can paint dead people's faces like living people, and they can also paint living people like dead people.

"In the end, with the help of your Heavenly Supervisor, and his own accidental slippage, we were caught. ”

"When he caught Qianmian Langjun, he was about to go to a rice shop to find the shopkeeper's proposal, so he was wearing a mink robe and rabbit skin boots, which was decent and comfortable. Our brothers were so angry at him that we took off his robes and boots and put him in a small prison......"

Hearing this, Wang Qilin suddenly thought of the corpse he saw in the small prison with red corpse spots on his body.

There are bright red corpse spots on the bodies of people who freeze to death!

He interrupted Yang's big mouth and said, "It's the twentieth day of the lunar month! You are the one who caught him on the twentieth day of the lunar month!"

Yang Dazui nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Wang heard the news that we arrested Qianmian Langjun at that time?"

Wang Qilin shook his head: "On the twentieth night of the lunar month, it was very cold! Even if the sun came out the next day, it was very cold, I remember that the dogs in our village all walked with their legs crossed, and our chickens were even more frozen and curled up in the grass and did not dare to go to the ground!"

Yang Dazui smiled bitterly: "That's right, it's cold in the sky, and we didn't expect that it would be so cold at night during the day!"

"Thousand-faced Langjun doesn't have a robe and shoes yet!"

Xu Da was speechless: ", this guy is freezing to death? ”

Yang Dazui argued: "No one expected that it would be so cold at night, and every time Li Laobangzi came out to play a shift at night, he saw the thousand-faced Langjun sitting at the door and smiling at him, it didn't look like it was cold." ”

"People are afraid of the cold when they are old," Xiao 14 added, "Li Lao Bangzi didn't know how cold it was that night, he thought that he was old and not cold." The next day, he told us about it, saying that he was so cold that he couldn't stretch out his hand, but the thousand-faced Langjun sat at the door in a single coat and smiled at him. ”

"But when we go to the small prison, we see that the people are already hard!"

Xie Toad sneered: "So what was the person who was smiling at Li Lao Bangzi at that time?"

Wang Qilin said: "Then what I encountered last night was the ghost of Qianmian Langjun, no wonder he can turn into the appearance of Li Laobangzi, it turns out that this is a skill he had before he was born." But at the time, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and neither did Hachimeow. ”

The cat blinked when she heard her name come out, and then shrank back when she heard what they were talking about.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin suddenly wondered, could it be that Ba Meow was drunk last night and delayed things?

He didn't continue to think about it, but first analyzed the facts of the case: "Qianmian Langjun froze to death, and then recently there was a merchant selling clothes, hats, shoes and socks in the yamen, will there be a connection between them?"

Xie Toad nodded: "I think there is." ”

Xu Dadao: "The seventh master said that there must be." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Where is this thousand-faced Langjun's family? Does he have any relatives alive?" ”

Yang asked confusedly, "Is it necessary?" Since the county government has his ghost, is it difficult to kill him?"

Wang Qilin asked rhetorically: "From the death of Qianmian Langjun to the present, have you ever encountered his ghost in the county office?"

Yang shook his head.

Wang Qilin said: "Isn't this over? I came to the county office for one night, but I happened to run into his ghost? There must be a reason for this, let me check his relatives." ”

He remembered the crying words of the seller last night: the villain wanted to buy a robe for his brother to protect him from the cold, but unfortunately he had frozen to death......

There is some relationship between the thousand-faced Langjun and the hawker.

Although Qianmian Langjun was frozen to death on the night he was arrested, Dou Dachun was vigorous in investigating the case, and he was interrogated on the same day after he caught him, so the county government has a record of this person's identity information.

Qianmian Langjun's name is Liu Da, he is from Liu Yu Village outside the county, and when he got the news, Wang Qilin took two catchers to Liu Yu Village.

The village is very close to the county seat, only less than five miles of land, the local area is mainly to grow vegetables, supply vegetables to the city, and the people live quite a prosperous life.

There was a catcher who was related to the clan elder, and they went directly to the clan elder to ask about Liu Da's news.

At the mention of Liu Da, the clan elder Liu Ge said ashamedly: "The family is unfortunate, my Liu family has such a wolf-hearted gangster, it is really a shame for the ancestors!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Where are you Liu, and do you have any relatives at home?"

Liu Ge said: "After Liu Da was arrested, his father had no shame to face his father and fellow villagers, and he committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam within two days. His mother lost two men in the family in a row, and fell ill all of a sudden, unfortunately, she died about ten days ago. He also has a younger brother named Liu Er, who left the village after Liu Er waited for his mother, and he didn't know where he went. ”

Wang Qilin chuckled in his heart.

Xie Toad's words came to his heart: cultivators would rather have their souls scattered than deal with them, what kind of deep hatred must this be?

The eldest brother died in the yamen, and the father and mother died in the case of the eldest brother, this is really a bloody feud!

In addition, the traitor did not kill the officials, but killed the families of the officials, why did he do this?

Do you want the officials to experience the pain of gradually losing their families?

At this point, the facts of the case gradually became clear.

Wang Qilin asked Liu Ge to take them to Liu's house, which is a brick house with two courtyards on the left and right, which is quite magnificent.

There was no one in Liu's house, so he went into the house to check and found no useful clues.

They went to Liu's ancestral grave again, Liu Dazuo's traitor department could not enter, there were only the graves of Liu Da and Liu's second father, these two graves lived next to each other, the graves were cleaned up, and there were freshly burned paper ashes in front.

Looking at the cleaned grave and the paper ashes in front of the grave, Wang Qilin asked, "Did Mr. Liu arrange the tomb sweeper?"

Liu Ge shook his head: "It's not me, it should be a friend of Liu Da and Liu Er, this Liu Da once left his hometown and made a lot of fox friends." These people are quite righteous, and people often come after Liu Da's death. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Do you know the identity of the person who came?"

Liu Ge shook his head again: "I don't know, I once asked, but the people who come every time are different, and I can't remember clearly, so I simply didn't ask later." ”

Wang Qilin was surprised: "The people who come are different? How many people can come at a time?"

Liu Ge said: "Every time there is a person, sometimes it is a young man, sometimes it is a man, it is indeed not a person, according to Liu Er, they are all friends that his brother used to make, and they rushed to visit him when they learned that his family was in trouble." ”

Wang Qilin had a guess in his heart: Could it be that Liu Da was wronged? He is not a thousand-faced Langjun at all, and there is another person in Qianmian Langjun!

On the way back, he told this speculation, Xu Dadao: "Can't it? If he wasn't a thousand-faced Langjun, why would he confess? Do you mean that it was a thousand-faced Langjun who came to visit the Liu family? But if he is a thousand-faced Langjun, then why does Liu Er say that he is a friend of Liu Da? Shouldn't he call someone to arrest him?"

Wang Qilin frowned and shook his head.

He also has a lot of doubts, and to solve these doubts, I'm afraid that he has to find the real Thousand Faces Langjun.

Of course, the premise is that there is a real thousand-faced gentleman.
