Yang Wenchang looked at Ye Feng and felt a lot of confusion, and he didn't know where to start for a while, so he asked, "What do you all know about this case?"

Ye Feng glanced at Xie Zhenliang and Tie Ruthless on the side, and said, "What we know about this case is all written in the case file. However, we heard that there have been two murders in Jingshi recently, which are quite similar to this case, and they were also handled by Lord Yang, and my father also specifically mentioned Lord Yang in his words in prison, so I think Lord Yang should have discovered about these cases. ”

Yang Wenchang smiled bitterly: "I thought that Lord Ye would not dare to touch this case, it turned out that his eyes were like electricity, and he had already seen some clues." Yes, I did find out about these cases. ”

Ye Feng felt refreshed: "Please also give advice." ”

Yang Wenchang thought for a moment and said, "The two murders you are talking about should be the murders of Zhao Si and Qian Jia, right?"

Ye Feng nodded, and Yang Wenchang said: "Let's talk about Zhao Si first, he is just a small landlord who has a little field on the outskirts of Beijing, hired a few tenants to grow land, and sent fresh vegetables and fruits to some high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, and his death should have been a small case." But the blame is that he died in the middle of the night by the ghost of a dead tenant who cut his throat in front of the two concubines. ”

Ye Feng and Tie Wuru had already listened to Xie Zhenliang talk about this case in the carriage before, but now that they heard it, they were still the same shock.

Yang Wenchang looked at the three people who were listening attentively, and continued: "I checked the cause of his death and the murder weapon at the scene, and there is no suspicion at all, and the two concubines don't seem to be lying, but if you want to say that a ghost kills people, who can believe this? Therefore, after careful investigation, I have the first suspicion, on the death of that tenant, why did Zhao Si suddenly take back the tenant's land and force the tenant to commit suicide?"

Yang Wenchang paused, and then said, "So I investigated and found that he had built a large compound on this recovered land. I took someone to check it out, and it had just been completed, and it was empty, and there was no one in it. ”

Tie ruthlessly groaned: "Could it be that he sees that this land has good feng shui, and wants to build a house and move in?"

Yang Wenchang said noncommittally: "Maybe, but this is just a piece of land, Zhao Si has other land, and it is completely possible to rearrange that tenant to farm, why do you have to force that tenant to feel cornered and commit suicide? This doesn't make sense at all." ”

Everyone nodded, which was really weird.

Yang Wenchang sighed: "Zhao Si's case has not yet been investigated, at this time, the well-known Drunken Immortal Building in Jingshi has another case of Qian Jia, which has made Jingshi boiling. ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "This case was told to me just now in the Drunken Immortal Building. ”

Yang Wenchang smiled bitterly again: "I can't imagine that even Ji Gongzi, the big boss behind the scenes of Drunken Immortal Building, has come forward, which shows how important this case is and how big the impact is." But this case is even more bizarre, because more than a dozen neighbors at the scene witnessed the ghost of Qian Jia's old mother and Qian Jia's suicide, which made me wonder if I had never believed in ghosts. ”

Yang Wenchang's speed of speech gradually became faster, showing that his heart was also excited: "However, after I checked the scene, I was even more surprised. Qian Jia's body was hanging from the beam, and I lifted up the wooden bench that he had kicked aside, and the surface of the bench was a foot away from his toes!"

Ye Feng's face changed, and he blurted out: "Mo Fei, is he ......?"

Yang Wenchang nodded: "I put the body down to inspect it, and found that there were actually two cord marks on his neck, one was lighter in color and handed over to the back of the ear, and the other was darker in color, and it was handed back flat and handed over to the back of the neck." This darker strip is clearly the real cause of Qian Jia's death, that's right, he didn't hang himself at all, but was strangled to death and then hung on the beam!"

Tie Wuru was only dumbfounded: "How can the old mother's ghost be explained? Could it be that the dozen or so witnesses are lying?"

Yang Wenchang shook his head: "Impossible, these dozen people are old and young, with different family backgrounds and identities, and there are even two respected old men, it is impossible to be bribed at the same time and lie to the murderer together." So, I couldn't figure out what they saw that night.

Xie Zhenliang suddenly said: "I once heard Zhang Fatzi say that he saw in a book that there is a drug in Miaojiang, Yunnan, which will make people hallucinate after taking it, could it be that everyone present that night took a similar drug?"

Yang Wenchang thought for a while, but still shook his head: "It's impossible, everyone's circumstances and experiences are different, where there will be more than a dozen people who have exactly the same hallucinations after taking drugs, which is completely illogical." ”

Xie Zhenliang thought about it, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

Yang Wenchang sighed: "Just when I was still having a headache for these two doubts, I didn't think that ten days later, Tian Cewei commanded Sun Dianchen to be beheaded by the ghost of his deceased wife in front of the banquet at home. At this time, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, and I was in chaos, so I couldn't get sick and handed over this case, I didn't expect that Lord Ye would be imprisoned for this, which was really not what I wanted. ”

Ye Feng nodded to show understanding, no matter who it is, encountering such bizarre cases one after another will be chaotic and cowering, which really can't blame Yang Wenchang. But the deceased in these two cases is just a small landlord and a runaway, and what is the connection between the commander of the forbidden army of the imperial court Sanpin who died later, it is really incomprehensible.

However, he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "Lord Yang was also an expert in the trial and prison back then, in addition to what was written in the case file, there must be something to be found about this case, right?"

Yang Wenchang looked at him and said a little mysteriously: "I have been hiding at home these days, and I have time to sort out all the clues, and I really found some suspicious points." ”

His face turned pale, and he continued: "First of all, it is the human head that Lord Ling Zun Ye sent to find in front of the grave of Sun Dianchen's deceased wife, Tan Clan. On the surface, the unjust soul cut off the head and enshrined it in front of the grave, indicating that there must have been grievances in her death back then, and it also confirms the so-called ghost killing people from the side, right?"

Tie nodded ruthlessly: "Yes, exactly. ”

Yang Wenchang retorted: "But when this human head was found, the flesh and blood were blurred and unrecognizable, and it could only be confirmed that it was Sun Dianchen's head through the fracture in the neck. If it was caused by the wild dogs and beasts in the grave, this head should have rolled aside, why was it still placed in front of Tan's grave after being eaten by wild beasts?"

Tie was ruthless and speechless, Ye Feng recalled what his father told in the edict prison, it was indeed the case, and he also felt very puzzled.

Yang Wenchang continued: "The second is the bloodstain on the table in front of Sun Dianchen. If his head had been cut off on the spot, the blood on the table would have been sprayed, it should have been splashed, but what I saw was not like this, although there was a lot of blood on the table, they were all dotted, more like someone deliberately spilled it. ”

Ye Feng only felt his heart beating: "You, you mean ......"

Yang Wenchang said in a deep voice: "I didn't say anything, after all, there are so many people who have seen the ghost behead Sun Dianchen on the spot, this is ironclad evidence, what I said is just some doubts." ”

Ye Feng's heart moved when he heard this, this actually means that even ghosts killing people can be true, what else is impossible?

Yang Wenchang took a deep breath and continued: "The last suspicion is that a golden basin containing soup was found at the scene, and according to the imperial court, this golden basin could not be used by Sun Dianchen's family, so I inquired about the servants of the Sun family and confirmed that this was sent by the Han Palace's mansion that night, and it is said that it was a famous dish specially rewarded by His Royal Highness the Han King to Sun Dianchen's birthday banquet, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea." ”

It is not uncommon to reward precious dishes at the family banquet of the vassals, and it is a supreme honor for the vassals. Everyone didn't understand what was suspicious about what Yang Wenchang said, and they all looked at him and waited for him to continue.

A somewhat strange expression appeared on Yang Wenchang's face, and he said slowly: "I asked the person in charge of serving in the banquet hall that night, and according to him, in order to show the grace of the King of Han that night, this pot of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Sun was shared and eaten by all the guests present, and each of them ate a bowl. And this time is just before the accident!"

A thought suddenly flashed in Ye Feng's mind, and he asked, "Have you checked the remaining soup in the golden basin?"

Yang Wenchang shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the golden basin has already been knocked over to the ground, and the soup has been spilled, so there is no way to check it." ”

What do you want to do with the dishes that King Han has rewarded?

Xie Zhenliang and Tie Wuru were shocked in their hearts, their faces changed greatly, and they blurted out to Yang Wenchang: "You mean, the King of Han ......"

Yang Wenchang said with a cunning look: "I didn't say anything, I just told some facts, as for the conclusion, I still need you to continue to investigate." ”

The conjecture that he had given up about this fact was so terrible and so important that for a moment the people in the room fell silent.

At this time, Yang Wenchang seemed to want to say something, and seemed to hesitate a little, but he still said it in a hurry: "There is still a doubt, I don't know if it is useful?"

Tie ruthlessly asked, "What suspicion?"

Yang Wenchang seemed to be a little embarrassed: "When we cleaned up the scene, we found a plate of chicken on the table, but there were two remaining fried kidney slices pressed under the chicken. ”

The three people present were stunned, and Tie Ruthless asked with a crying and laughing expression: "Why do you care about the dishes on the table, what does this mean?"

Yang Wenchang shook his head: "It's not interesting, I just think it's a little strange." ”

Tie Wuru still didn't understand: "What's strange, maybe I accidentally fell into it while picking up vegetables." ”

Yang Wenchang said: "If that's the case, the loin piece should fall on top of the chicken, and not be pressed underneath?"

Tie Wuru was speechless for a while, and said with some annoyance: "Then why do you say? What do these two pieces of waist have to do with the case?"

Yang Wenchang smiled bitterly: "Maybe it doesn't matter, I just think it's a little strange, just mention it by the way." ”

Ye Feng felt a little upset when he saw that the two of them were arguing over the two fried waist slices in a dish, so he interrupted them and asked, "I don't know where the corpse and evidence in Sun Dianchen's case are now, can we take a look?"

Yang Wenchang said: "All the evidence is kept in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and no one has come to check and retrieve it, I will arrange it, it is late today, you can check it tomorrow." ”

Ye Feng frowned: "You said that no one has come to check?

Yang Wenchang shook his head very resolutely and said: "No, since Lord Ling Zunye received the emperor's strict order to solve the case within a time limit, until he was dismissed and imprisoned by the emperor, he has neither come to investigate the corpse and evidence, nor even come to talk to me, which I also think is very strange." ”

Ye Feng didn't speak, he lowered his head and thought, his father was dismissed and imprisoned by the emperor because of his poor handling of the case, and now it seems that he can guide himself to find Yang Wenchang, but in fact, he is not without clues.

But why didn't he investigate the evidence, nor did he come to Yang Wenchang to learn about the clues, and did nothing, but it seemed that he deliberately didn't want to investigate this case from the beginning? Could it be that he found something in the first place, so he deliberately didn't want to touch this case?

Could it be that this case is really like what they just thought, there is a shady curtain hidden behind it that cannot be touched?

Ye Feng looked up at the few people who were silent in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly gasp.
