God stick peeping the sky

The newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple became impatient: "Don't pretend to be a ghost here. You dare not come here when Young Master Liang is alive. Tell me, who are you? You said you killed Liang Enlun. How did the process go?"

The big man came back to his senses, dared to ask for a sip of water, sat down and sighed a few times, and began to confess. Yue Jiu prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone beside him, and he recorded what the suspect said, as if to the master This new position is starting to get used to.

Since ancient times, one person has achieved Taoism and ascended to heaven. In the past, Yue Xiaoyan was hanged in the Imperial Academy and had no real job, so Yue Jiu could only be a dog's leg; Qing, Yue Jiu has been promoted to Yue Xiaoyan's master.

The sober Shandong man began to calm down. This man looked simple and honest. Looking at the square face and thick eyebrows and big eyes, he did not look like a murderer: "My surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Youde. I am 32 years old this year. I and Zhou Zhifeng and Zhou Zhiyang bought some mountain products in Shandong this summer, hoping to take advantage of the rich people in the capital who like to eat some dates and hazelnuts as snacks, and earn some money to subsidize their families."

His eyes didn't flicker: "I used to keep my family on the ground, and I did a good job as a bodyguard in Shandong. I didn't want to come. It was Zhou Zhifeng and Zhou Zhiyang who said that they didn't make money. If the crops don't harvest in autumn, How do you celebrate the New Year? So I followed."

Yue Jiu lowered his head and recorded his first confession since he became a master, and recorded it very carefully.

Yue Xiaoyan interjected, "How old are Zhou Zhifeng and Zhou Zhiyang, and what do they do?"

Zhu Youde seemed to tilt his head and thought for a long time before slowly answering: "The two brothers served as soldiers in the capital before, but later they found it too hard to be a soldier, so they fled back to Shandong. Seeing that I have walking experience as an escort, that's why you want to work with me."

Yue Xiaoyan listened to him quietly, observed his every move, facial and body language, carefully discerning whether what he said was true or not.At present, it seems that this Zhu Youde is still telling the truth.

Zhu Youde continued to state the facts: "But who would have thought that after we arrived in Dadu, before we entered the city, we encountered heavy rain for several days, and all these mountain goods were damp, so they couldn't be sold, and we lost a lot of money. It was rented, and when people saw the situation, they directly asked to pay the freight and leave. After we paid the freight, we were penniless, and we have been wandering outside the suburbs of Beijing, thinking... I want to do some business without capital."

Don't want to trade for capital?In addition to contributing, it is robbery.

Zhu Youde stared at Yue Xiaoyan with two eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "We waited and waited and saw no one going to remote places, so we decided to give up. We don't even have a place to eat in Dadu, so we might as well go home Then, two days before I was leaving, it was raining, and I happened to meet Young Master Liang who was taking a boy out of the city to explore the mountains. I heard that he was going into the mountains, and he looked like a rich man. We were tempted and followed him all the time.”

"Later we followed all the way to the mountains. In the temple of Xiangshan, we pretended to meet him by chance. Then we said that it was raining and it was too cold. Everyone wanted to light up the fire to warm up. So during the time between the fires, we met him. Young Master Liang and the others chatted for a few words and became a little familiar, and then we ordered Meng Han Xiang, and tied up Young Master Liang and his entourage."

Yue Xiaoyan nodded: "Continue!"

Zhu Youde rubbed his nose: "I wanted to find some money on him, but I didn't want him to look like he was wearing gold and silver. He only had a silver note of 100 taels of silver and a jade pendant. Let's see that the sword on his body may be worth some money." , untie his sword."

Yue Jiu recorded it carefully, knowing that the next step was the key point, and guided: "After that, how did you do it?"

Zhu Youde squeezed his eyes vigorously: "I don't think so, at such a juncture, his entourage woke up in a daze, and began to struggle vigorously. That kid is too strong, his body is full of muscles, he looks like a Lianjiazi , We were afraid that he would break free and lose control after waking up, so we stabbed him to death with a sword."

Yue Jiu felt sorry for Liang Lei, who had always been loyal to Young Master Liang, and was highly skilled in martial arts. He was murdered by a traitor when he was only 23 or four years old. He couldn't help but glared at Zhu Youde fiercely and waited for him to continue.

Zhu Youde was also a little nervous when he saw this disgusting look, but he continued to talk: "When Liang Lei was killed, there was too much movement, and Young Master Liang also woke up. Seeing that Liang Lei was still breathing, he burst into tears. We kept yelling and cursing, we were worried that he would make too much noise, so we put a rope around his neck and strangled him to death."

"After killing all the people, we began to regret it. These two little lives seemed to have family backgrounds. How could we let it go? We discussed how to deal with the two remains."

Liang Enlun grew up in the family of Zhongming Dingshi, and Liang Lei followed him since he was a child, and his treatment was better than the young master of ordinary families.

What is a little silver to Duke Liang and Young Master Liang?But for these vicious people, killing people may only be for three melons and two dates, and they simply regard human life as nothing.

The world is impermanent, people's hearts are not ancient, and sometimes I really don't know what the bottom line of the wicked is.

Maybe once you start to do it and let go of the little moral burden in your heart, you will no longer be a human being.

Zhu Youde began to talk about how they handled the body. In a murder case, after someone is killed, the body is not easy to dispose of. Whether it is cremated and buried or thrown away, as long as it is moved, it will inevitably leave clues.

Therefore, in this kind of intentional homicide case, the remains are important evidence on file.

Zhu Youde swallowed his saliva and said: "We discussed for a long time, and felt that it was midsummer, and if we just dumped the corpse, it would decompose too quickly and the smell would be too strong; I thought about digging a hole and burying it on the spot, but the feng shui here is good, and the ancestral graves of many rich families It's all here, and the ground is being broken so often that things could be revealed very quickly."

Yue Jiu was so angry that his chest hurt. These beasts who murdered and set fires, after doing bad things, they must try to cover up the clues.

Zhu Youde said in one breath: "In the end, the three of us decided to divide the corpse first, then tie stones to each of them and bury them in the river calmly. The mountain stream is so fast that no one will go swimming. Maybe we will find out soon. No. We did what we said to do. We first dismembered the corpse in the temple, divided it into countless pieces, and then carried them into the river, dropped them with stones, and buried them at the bottom of the river. After that, we cleaned up the temple thoroughly. Then they separated and ran away pretending to be calm.”

After listening to him, Yue Xiaoyan asked him to speak more carefully: "Did you leave anything in the temple?"

Zhu Youde said, "Zhou Zhifeng is cruel by nature. He slept on Young Master Liang's leg bone all night, saying that he wanted to experience the difference between a bone born noble and a bone born cheap. Later, he wrapped the severed bone in a blood coat. Throwing it behind the statue, saying that we wanted to see if the Buddha could save him, we were jealous in our hearts, so we asked Zhou Zhifeng to deal with this matter, and ran away."

Yue Jiu bit his pen: "Zhu Youde, why did Mr. Liang go up the mountain in the rain?"

Zhu Youde thought hard for a long time, but still shook his head in a daze: "We asked him when we were warming up the fire, and he only said that he came to worship."

These days, they have thoroughly investigated all the clues. Before Liang Enlun's accident, Liang's family was singing and dancing peacefully, and Liang's mausoleum is not in Xiangshan Mountain.

The details are almost correct, Yue Xiaoyan feels that although there are still a lot of doubts in this case, it has almost surfaced: "Why did you come back and surrender?"

Zhu Youde was quite a big man from Shandong, and suddenly his eye circles were red: "I was honest since I was a child, I don't know why lard was deceived and did such bad things that day, and I was able to comfort myself at that time. People said that the murdered young prince was from Liang Guogong's mansion, and he distributed portraits everywhere, and I felt uncomfortable when I asked who had seen these two."

"Officer, there must be ghosts and spirits in this world, don't you know? I've been here for almost two months, as long as I close my eyes, I will see that little boy covered in blood coming to kill me. He wants revenge. I dare not sleep with my eyes closed at all, I am about to collapse in the past two months, and that is why I surrender myself.”

Zhu Youde was mysterious, trembling as if to prove that his statement was correct: "Don't tell me, I fell asleep right away when I entered this government office."

Yue Xiaoyan seemed casual, and his sitting posture was swaying: "Where are brothers Zhou Zhifeng and Zhou Zhiyang?"

Zhu Youde's trick is real: "We first fled to Shandong together, and then they saw that I respected ghosts and feared gods all day long, and they were also frightened by the guilt of tossing around, so one day they said that they ran away together when they went out to buy breakfast. I threw it down by myself, I dare not see Young Master Liang again, after so many days running around outside, I couldn't bear it any longer, I couldn't sleep for a quarter of an hour, so I turned myself in."

Yue Xiaoyan whispered a few words in the yamen servant's ear: "Let the painter come in."

Then he asked Zhu Youde carefully, "What do brothers Zhou Zhiyang and Zhou Zhifeng look like? Describe them carefully."

Yue Xiaoyan lightly exchanged glances with Yue Jiu, not to delay here for too long, the detailed issues will be retried later, he immediately stood up, ordered the yamen servants to take him down to the dungeon, and interrogated them several times carefully, the two of them rushed Started to go out to issue numbers and collect the network.

Yue Xiaoyan has been handling cases with his father for several years. He has rich experience, and the orders are issued step by step: first, Huaying Graphics began to arrest Zhou Zhiyang and Zhou Zhifeng. It is easy to know who did it.

The second is to immediately find a government servant who is good at swimming, and start to salvage the remaining remains along the mountain streams and rivers in the Xiangshan Mountains.No wonder nothing was salvaged that day. It turned out to be buried at the bottom of the water.

The third is to notify Liang Guogong's government, saying that there should be a breakthrough in the case now.

Normally speaking, Zhu Youde's confession was so detailed, and the thigh bones found in the temple also matched the confession, so it should be easy to find the body.

But who knows, after committing the crime, he never dared to pass the customs and return to his hometown. Zhou Zhifeng, who was wandering around in Tanggu, was caught, and the rest of the body was still not found.

Zhou Zhifeng denied it in every possible way, and refused to recruit him to death. Either he shouted his injustice, or he was silent. This person is a typical hob.

In the end, I couldn't bear the torture, so I grinned grinningly and said, "If you have evidence in your hands, you don't need to interrogate me like this. Don't try to pry my mouth open. If you have the ability, you can use the evidence to convict me directly! Or I Seeing your incompetence and laughing at you!"

When I went back to interrogate Zhu Youde repeatedly, Zhu Youde's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted, "It's absolutely impossible? I'm so honest from Shandong, I swore to Deng that what I said a few days ago was the truth! It is indeed buried at the bottom of the river, and it is mainly buried behind rocks, and the water cannot wash it away!"

Yue Xiaoyan hadn't been resting well recently, and had two big dark circles under his eyes. Now that the case had just leaked out, he was at an impasse again. Yue Jiu and a large pile of case files went home to handle the case, and went to another place to worry about.
