Lin Fanghe smiled: "Didn't you all see the corpse of that Taoist in Shicai, facing up on his back, disemboweling." After my initial investigation, the incision on the chest and abdomen was injured by a sharp blade. ”

"I see. Tang Yu's face was ashamed, and he couldn't stop nodding: "If it is really some so-called goblin or man-eating monster that uses sharp claws to pick it open and devour people's internal organs, then the wounds of the deceased will not be so smooth and regular?"

Moreover, there were no signs of scratches on other parts of his body. ”

Xiang Jincheng realized at this time, and couldn't help but join the argument: "I'll just talk about it, where do the monsters come from, it's not all people who are behind their backs." Looks like I guessed right......"

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Tang Yu asked.

"I originally wanted to pretend to be a businessman, make a private visit to Weifu, and wait for the opportunity to act when the clues of the case are found. Now that there is a major murder here, it is better to simply disclose your identity to stabilize people's hearts. Lin Fanghe's thinking is very clear.

"Then how do you find those murderers hiding in the shadows and mutilating the villagers?"

"A mountain will not come to you, if we want to climb to the top, we can walk over it ourselves. Lin Fanghe smiled: "In the same way, if you can't find him, don't force it, otherwise it will be a waste of energy." Let's wait and see what happens, and let him come to us—"

Tang Yu couldn't wait: "Is there such a way?"

"I should say yes. ”

"Tell me about it, sir?"

"Ghost hunting. ”

"Oh my God, here we do it again. Xiang Jincheng was so irritable that he said: "It has been made clear that the so-called ghost talk is purely absurd. If the people in our government are also pretending to be here and opening the altar, what is the difference between them and the old man who takes the blame for himself?"

Lin Fanghe was silent, and when he calmed down, he asked: "Xiang Zhukuai, let me ask, why do you say that those people who are currently difficult to determine their identities are playing tricks and killing the Taoist priests who set up accounts?"

"They, they have a grudge against the Taoists. ”

"Well, what is the basis? Where does the hatred come from? The Taoist priest came from the distant Qingzhou of Qilu, and he walked in all directions, wandering uncertainly, how did the two form a feud? Even if it was really a murderous revenge, as you said, how could these people know in advance that the people in the mountains were inviting this Taoist priest and not someone else? You must know that the haunting was a few months ago......

Xiang Jincheng was at a loss for words: "All this is probably a coincidence?"

Lin Fanghe sighed lightly and smiled: "Coincidences? How many coincidences do you have to superimpose to form the situation you depicted." The two families made a feud, and one party coincidentally chose this place to make waves for several months. Then the villagers thought of finding people and catching demons by coincidence, and coincidentally the people who were looking for the mage happened to meet this Taoist priest as soon as they went out. Is that what you mean?"

"I ......"

Xiang Jincheng opened his mouth.

Tang Yu's mouth was quick, and he said eagerly: "These people are deliberately hiding here, and it will never be as simple as getting rid of an enemy?"

"Well, that's what I just said. Xiang Jincheng became energetic again when he heard it, "The facts of the case are basically like this." It was that the two sides originally had a deep grudge, one side chased desperately, and the other side hid desperately, hiding and hiding, and finally came to this remote and isolated mountain village. These people thought that the Taoist priest was in the way and that it was endless, so they got rid of him. ”

Lin Fanghe was amused by Xiang Jincheng's stiffness. He glanced at Tang Yu, stroked his chin, and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I think Lao Xiang's statement is a bit far-fetched. ”

"What I said is not right, is it not right?" Xiang Jincheng didn't dare to exert his might at Lin Fanghe, the evil fire was difficult to come out, and poured all the unhappiness on this junior colleague: "Xiao Tang, you have only been a fast catcher for a few days, so you dare to make irresponsible remarks?"

Tang Yu was young in the end, and when he heard this, his face turned red: "What are you doing, are we discussing the case and talking about everything?" Old Xiang, in Yingtianfu, I have always respected you, can you be serious!"

"Just kidding, take it seriously. Xiang Jincheng was beaten and robbed, and he was bored.

Lin Fanghe's face was calm, he glanced at the two of them, and smiled faintly: "But Xiang Zhukuai has a sentence that is right, 'getting in the way'." -- Appearing in an inappropriate place at an inappropriate time and invisibly hindering the affairs of others may be one of the most important reasons why Taoists are killed. ”

"Look, I'm always right, right?"

Xiang Jincheng has no city government, he is a reckless person, and he does not hide it in his bones. Here, Lin Da boasted, and he himself floated up first: "How many years have I been a veteran police officer, starting from the street police station, walking up step by step, and solving countless major and important cases? You are like a neighbor who has lost chickens, ducks, geese, cats and dogs, and the leather shoes that have been dried have been worn away, and the clothes that have been blown away by the wind cannot be found, how much have I done for them? Even the vicious case of Lao Liu's family losing a donkey was investigated in less than half a day......

"You have indeed done a lot of specific work at the grassroots level over the years. ”

"That is, the medals and certificates alone occupy half of the wall, and there are many plaques and pennants given to me by ordinary people. Don't you believe I'll take you there that day?"

"Yes, I believe it, I believe it. Lin Fanghe walked to the door, turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked: "I don't know if you have considered the question I mentioned just now, if the other party really has a plan here, if it is said to be in the way, if it is in the way, the villagers living nearby should be more than the Taoist priests who come and go in a hurry, why don't they kill these people?"

"We haven't really thought about it. ”

The answer is actually very simple, it is hidden in Yang Laohan's casual words. Lin Fanghe's face was calm, and his eyes shot a sharp and cold light, "You also heard it just now, when I asked the old man what he planned to do next, he said, 'If you can't do it, you will move', I think this is the crux of everything." Those people who are hiding in the shadows have done their best to create an incident and cause such a big disturbance, and the purpose is nothing more than to expel the mountain people who have lived here for generations......"

Xiang Jincheng was unconvinced: "Then they killed all these people and it was over, and they threw them into any mountain stream, and they still needed to spend so much effort?"

"That's different. If someone is killed, Li Zheng or Chief A must report it to the government, and the higher authorities will send someone down to investigate. If the entire village were to be slaughtered for no reason, it would provoke a large number of elite officers and soldiers......"

"It seems that these people are deliberately hiding something. Tang Yu was shocked: "Then if they kill the Taoist priest who practiced the law, aren't they afraid that the government will track them down?"

Lin Fanghe glanced outside the house and replied lightly: "The Taoist priest is an outsider, belonging to the floating population, and the local yamen does not have his personal information, so it is more difficult to check." And the most fatal point is that these gangsters take advantage of people's widespread superstitious psychology, pretend to be ghosts, deliberately disguise themselves as a demon beast, and kill the Taoist after they scatter the villagers. In this way, it can deter the public and exert pressure. Second, even if someone really comes to handle the case in the future, the villagers will only treat it as a ghost asking for their lives and a goblin killing someone, so if there is no evidence for such investigation, the case will naturally be closed?"
