Chapter 906 Mystery Case
There is a family named Zhang in Huangshui County.
Zhang Tao is the eldest son, and his wife Li returns to her parents' home to visit her. When she comes back, Zhang Tao happens to have something to do, so she asks his younger brother to pick up his sister-in-law.
My younger brother Zhang Yuan responded to this matter and rode a donkey to pick up his sister-in-law.
After picking up my sister-in-law, my uncle and sister-in-law rushed home. On the way, they passed an ancient tomb. The ancient trees beside the tomb were lush and the branches and leaves were lush, which was extremely shaded.
After walking all the way, Li really couldn't bear it. He wanted convenience, so he got off the donkey and asked Zhang Yuan to be optimistic about the donkey. She entered the back of the tree.
When it was convenient, Li was worried about getting his clothes dirty, so he took off his long red skirt and hung it on the tree.
Unexpectedly, after she finished making the difference, Li looked back and saw that her skirt was gone.
Li asked Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan didn't know. The two of them had no choice but to think that it was the monkey on the mountain who took it away.
After returning home, Zhang Tao and Li fell asleep together. It was dawn and they didn't get up. The rest of the family felt strange and couldn't wake up no matter how they called the door.
The family hurriedly opened the door and suddenly found that the couple were lying on the bed with only their bodies left on the bed, and their heads disappeared.
The family looked around in a panic and found that the windows were closed properly.
"After suing the official, the government has no choice but to find out," the elder sighed: "The doors and windows are locked well. They are all sleeping in the inner room. None of the servants and family members who are sleeping outside notice that there are bad people coming to the house. Besides, they cut off their heads at the same time. Wouldn't they make any noise? Escape with two heads, wouldn't they leave blood?"
The county magistrate and the yamen runners had no clue, and even the county magistrate could only spread his hands.
Many people in the Zhang family didn't care about the family's shame, so they revealed that Zhang Yuan went to pick up his sister-in-law home yesterday, but his sister-in-law came back in underwear and her skirt disappeared.
Everyone felt that this must be because my brother-in-law wanted to have an affair with his sister-in-law, so they felt resentful and killed his brother and sister-in-law together.
This is the only clue at present, and the constables immediately arrested Zhang Yuan for interrogation.
Zhang Yuan was also wronged and had to tell me about the fact that he had thrown his skirt when he returned home. He really didn't know what the thrown skirt was taken away by some wild beast.
The constable arrested Zhang Yuan and asked him to identify the place where he threw his skirt yesterday.
After a group of people arrived at the cemetery, everyone searched in different places. Someone suddenly shouted that everyone would come to see it.
It turned out that there was a small hole next to the cemetery, and the surroundings were as smooth as a mirror, as if something often entered and left.
Someone went up and looked in. The red skirt was indeed inside. He picked it up and gave it to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan cried as soon as he saw it. This was his sister-in-law's skirt.
So everyone hurriedly went to dig. After digging for a while, they saw two heads lined up in the cave, empty inside and there was no coffin.
"The latter doubt is that the tomb hole is too small, only the size of a fist. How did these two heads be plugged into it by God without knowing it?"
The elder stood up and complained about a mystery.
Although the elders said it very seriously, it still made many gentry feel a little chilled behind their heads.
Any life incident in a haunted house will still have an impact even after a few years.
Even the longer this kind of thing takes, the deeper the impact will be.
The involvement with the burial of the dead people such as the tomb castle casts a strange shadow on the matter.
"I heard that the adults are big men in the capital. I wonder if I can give us a reassurance," asked with fists.
"Mr. Mao Sangong, you are a fool. After a few years, the Zhang family moved to the nearby county town. There was no evidence or physical evidence. The grave was dug and seen. How do you ask the adults to investigate?"
The elder told a strange case, and some people's heads were chilling.
After he asked Li Hongru in advance, he immediately attracted a lot of complaints.
Although Li Hongru asked about the people's sentiments and asked everyone if they had anything to help, it was impossible to investigate the mystery several years ago.
At that time, the case was closed without any end, and it was even more impossible to investigate now.
This is not to ask Li Hongru to check the people's sentiments, but to make Li Hongru unable to get out of the market.
When the leader comes to inspect, he has to say good things and not say anything wrong, but at least he can't find trouble.
The elder Mao Sangong's narration caused a group of people to complain, and they completely lost the mood to eat the temple fair and wedding banquet.
"I am old and I am afraid that I will die in the soil and will harm others!"
Mao Sangong muttered, and immediately asked the squire sitting next to him to get up and cover the old man's inauspicious mouth.
"Mr. Mao Sangong, you are an elder here. After you live a long life and enjoy your old age, you are the youngest. With so many ancestors watching you, you still dare to be naughty!"
Li Hongru joked, which made a bunch of people laugh at the old man.
If you care about the matter after death, compared with the elders who died in Mao Sangong, Mao Sangong, who is in his seventies, is indeed not enough to see it.
As my ancestors watched, no matter how naughty he was, he could only squat honestly.
The gloomy aura brought by the strange case was mostly reduced, and even the Sangong Mao blushed a little more.
"What the lord said is very true!"
The elder sat down with his fist in his arms, as if he had removed the heavy weight in his heart.
Although there are monsters and evil things in the world, more fear comes from oneself.
As long as you don’t scare yourself, many things will disappear.
For example, Yuan Tiangang met like this.
Just by changing the name by one word, the young man became clear and he could not have the same life as before.
But Li Hongru couldn't help but think about the case mentioned by Mao Sangong.
Ordinary people can only perceive all kinds of strange and difficult to solve in this kind of case, but completing such a thing is not too difficult for great practitioners.
For example, if he uses the earth escape technique, he can sneak into the room quietly and cut into other people's heads, and then carry his head away.
There is no need to open the doors and windows, and there will be no blood left. You can carry some small items and put your head in the tomb.
Or if someone cooperates, just use the Yin Fire Escape Technique, and this kind of thing can be accomplished in an instant.
But with his cultivation reaching this level, Li Hongru couldn't think of why the other party was in trouble with ordinary people.
Compared with the doubts of ordinary people, Li Hongru has another doubt.
He raised his glass to have a glass of wine and had to leave after a festive banquet.
"Sir, are you going to investigate this headless case?"
When his colleagues returned, Tan Zheng also asked in a low voice.
There are limited work in small places. Although the county magistrate is not capable enough, he is still stable and well-behaved, and there are few trivial matters left for the next one.
In several cases, this is indeed a legacy problem.
This kind of legacy problem is more in the big city, and it is not surprising that hundreds of unsolved cases have accumulated over the past decades.
And in Dali Temple, there are probably thousands of unbreakable strange case files.
Everyone is not surprised, and the court rarely pursues this.
When manpower is limited, any harshness is useless.
It was difficult for the court to care about the past, but there was no problem of diligence during his tenure.
When the prince ordered Li Hongru to be replaced by the prince, the prince's request was like this.
Because of this, Tan Zheng saw that Li Hongru had a look on his face and seemed to be constantly thinking, so he asked a question.
"I didn't respond to this matter in person, so it's natural to find out, and it's okay if I can't find out." Li Hongru smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, so just think you're trying to find something to do!"
This made Tan Zheng feel silenced and also remembered the Tai Chi style that Li Hongru played during the banquet.
Li Hongru kept asking the gentry and elders, and kept answering, it seemed that the officials and people were all together, so they comforted everyone's hearts to a smooth and smooth manner, but they did not respond to anything.
"I obviously feel..."
