Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"In the legend of our Miao Village, there is a god named Ansu Po, who is in charge of life, old age, sickness and death in the world, and usually appears in the image of an old man with a human head and a horse body. People firmly believe that only under the guidance of Ansu Po, the soul of the deceased can be reborn in bliss , get rest in peace, so the exorcists usually wear shoes made of horseshoes, step by step to lead the poor people who died in a foreign land back to their homeland."

Suhua took out the shoes she usually wears to drive corpses out of the room. They were indeed made of horseshoes, specially trimmed into a round shape, and there was a solid round mark when stepping on the ground.

"Compared with common steeds, this kind of horse is shorter and thicker. It is a livestock used for plowing in Miao villages. It is often used to carry goods over mountains and ridges. Over time, its body grows into a shape that is more suitable for riding on hillsides. The form of crawling around. The believers in the Miao Village believe that this horse is a god bestowed by the gods for the people to live on, so they myth it as a heavenly horse. It is very rare that such clogs can be made from the hooves of a big sacred cow."

Jun Ziyou was not interested in the customs and customs of Miaojiang, and was afraid that Suhua would continue talking, so he interrupted, "Wait a minute, I just want to ask, did you pass the old banyan tree at the entrance of the neighboring village the night before yesterday?"

Su Hua and Su Jin looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Then did you appear at the Spring Sakura Inn last night?"

The answer is also no.

"That's strange, if it wasn't you, and the clogs weren't stolen, who could it be? It couldn't be that there was another group of corpse hunters in these villages, right?"

Xiao Beicheng wanted to say that women's mouths are deceitful ghosts, but he was so stupid as to believe the words of these two charming girls, Jun Ziyou really changed.

This kind of thought was mostly out of jealousy, but fortunately he was not overwhelmed, and soon found that Jun Ziyou's expression was not quite right, and then the man hurriedly dragged Xiao Beicheng away without asking any more questions, and ordered the driver Shen Temple directly back to his old house.

"This time, I was too eager for success. I naively thought that I could find the murderer just by following the clues. I was completely misled into a fork in the road. There are no shortcuts in the world. The most effective way to avoid detours is not to be confused by small profits. I How can you fall into this kind of trick at a young age..."

After returning, he went to the house of Xiao Chong, who was killed first, and explained to others on the way: "Speaking of which, Xiao Chong is not much older than me. He has been tyrannical in the village since he was a child. No matter male or female, as long as he is younger than him He dared to bully her, and even beat up Aunt Li's second girl in the street. I couldn't see it and helped her out, but he was beaten up with a black nose and a swollen face. If Qinghe hadn't come in time to help me beat me back, maybe I'm all disfigured."

As he spoke, he touched his face with lingering fear, and smacked his lips regretfully.

Every time he mentioned Su Qinghe, Xiao Beicheng felt uncomfortable, and always wanted to change the subject to ease his mood, but every time Junziyou didn't notice it, when he recalled the past, his face was still always There was that kind of melancholy expression that made people reluctant to interrupt him.

He said: "When Qinghe was young, he was willing to do anything for his friends. He was upright and upright. Everything he did was admirable. I used to think that I would be friends with him for a lifetime, and I would stay next to him until I died. The graves buried on the opposite side looked at each other from a distance, but unexpectedly, this relationship changed in the end."

He said dumbfounded again: "Prince, in fact, you already know who the culprit of Xiangye's serious injury is."

Concerned about his mood, Xiao Beicheng lowered his eyes and lied against his will, "I don't know."

"Duplicity. In fact, the prince knew what happened that night. You clearly disagreed with Qinghe, but you didn't make his actions public. You didn't want me to be caught in a dilemma. This kindness and consideration, I should thank you very much."

His smile made people feel distressed, Xiao Beicheng couldn't bear it when he saw it, "It's been so many years, why are you still bringing it up?"

"That's right, let's not mention it, let's talk about Xiao Big Eye. He has been doing a lot of evil since he was a child, so I gave him this nickname. You should know which big eye it is."

"Tsk, when literati scold people, their mouths are so poisonous."

"Hey, let's talk about each other. Maybe he did it himself. Since he was a child, he had a strange disease of epilepsy. He often fell down suddenly while walking on the road. His limbs twitched and his mouth was foaming. It looks scary enough. And Uncle Xiao is not a worry-free person. If Xiao Dayan gets sick while fighting with someone, he will find someone's house to blackmail a sum of money. So many times, people don't It's not that I'm afraid of Xiao Dayan, but I'm worried that he will be raped by his shameless father."

"What a scoundrel."

Xiao Beicheng couldn't help saying in his heart, "You deserve what you deserve".

"In addition, he is still very afraid of heights. When he chased me before, he would not dare to chase me as long as I climbed a tree. But when I was young, I was weaker than now, and I often fell down in one breath after climbing up. But I got dizzy when I came here, and I had to wait for my father to take me back. So I was quite surprised when I heard that he was hanged to death. Usually, he dare not even step on a stool. If he was hanged, there must be something Stepping up?"

Jun Ziyou didn't dare to jump to conclusions because he hadn't seen the situation before. Besides, the deceased had some quarrel with him, so he wasn't very active in doing things, so he only came to the door when it was absolutely necessary.

The Xiao family's father and son died for almost a year, and the house was dilapidated. Half of the old house had collapsed, and the thatched roof had been blown off by the strong wind, making it uninhabitable.

When they came, an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face was digging soil in the corner of the yard. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she quickly stuffed what she had taken out into her mouth, and crawled into it when she saw someone. In the grass shed where the livestock used to be kept.

Jun Ziyou and Xiao Beicheng looked at each other, feeling a little pitiful about what happened to the old lady.

"My lord, this should be Aunt Xiao. In the past, Xiao's father and son did evil, and she suffered a lot. She was often beaten and scolded by their father and son, and was isolated by the villagers. But she is kind-hearted and often helps passing beggars. My father used to always ask me to secretly give her some eggs. Now that Xiao's father and son are dead, no one in the village cares about her, a crazy old woman, life is really sad."

He took a step forward, wanting to check on Mrs. Xiao's situation, but unexpectedly she howled like crazy, shivering in a corner, spitting black foam mixed with mud, It looked pitiful.

Not wanting to provoke her any more, Xiao Beicheng pulled Junziyou back. It happened that Su Shi'an also heard the news at this time, and he understood the situation with a glance.

Gentleman You asked: "Aunt Xiao has only one person left now, and it is difficult to maintain her livelihood. Why is the government office not properly settled?"

Su Shi'an was also in a dilemma, "Sir, I don't know. As early as after Xiao's father and son were buried, I ordered people to send Mrs. Xiao to the nunnery on Hanshan Mountain. You also know that when a woman dies, her husband and children are hard to find. To make a living, a woman like Mrs. Xiao who cannot remarry and has no means of earning a living can only end up converting to Buddhism, and the government is also very embarrassing. But Mrs. Xiao has only been gone for a few days, and the madness has become more serious, hurting people and destroying people. The nunnery is not easy to take in food, she insisted on it again and again, so she had to be sent back, and now people in the government office deliver food to her on time every day, which is barely passable."

Hearing this, Jun Ziyou was even more sad, and it took a long time to calm down, and continued in a hoarse voice: "Tell me about the case."

"This case is actually nothing to talk about. It's just a simple patricide case. The person who killed Xiao Baichuan was his son Xiao Chong. After committing the crime, Xiao Chong couldn't bear the condemnation in his heart, so he hanged himself in fear of crime. Mrs. Xiao is the witness who witnessed everything. , It's a pity that she lost her mind later, and her testimony became inconsistent, so the case was closed."

"Patricide?"

If it was Xiao Baichuan who killed his son, Junziyou would still be able to believe it, but as he said just now, Xiao Chong not only suffers from epilepsy, but also has severe fear of heights. It is impossible for him to choose such a way of suicide.

"But I heard that it was Xiao Chong who hanged himself first, and Xiao Baichuan was overwhelmed with grief, so he followed him in a few days. Why is he now a son killing his father?"

"Sir, don't listen to the rumors in the village. In fact, Xiao Baichuan was seriously injured on the day of Xiao Chong's death. He was stabbed in the chest by Xiao Chong, and the injury was severe. But he was so desperate that he survived for a few days before he died. I also said a few words during the period, but the words couldn't be connected into sentences, and they couldn't be used as testimony. So, there is nothing to investigate in this case, and it is obvious that Xiao Chong killed his father."

So Jun Ziyou looked at Xiao Beicheng who was walking slowly outside the courtyard gate, smoking a cigarette a dozen steps away from him, and asked, "My lord, what do you think about this?"

Not only was Xiao Beicheng addicted to cigarettes and wanted to avoid Junziyou, but he was also observing the appearance of these dilapidated houses in Xiao's house, and said "hmm" casually, "It's nothing to see, both are murder cases."

“How come you see?”

"You'll know if you take a look. The windows of these rooms are all closed wooden structures. It was winter when the crime happened, and no matter how warm the room is, it's not enough to open the doors wide. If Mrs. Xiao didn't see through Without the supernatural power, it is only possible to witness all this on the spot. Do you think there will be a mother who will watch her son die in front of her eyes?"

Su Shi'an pondered for a while, "It seems...it makes sense."

"So there are only three possibilities. First, the investigators arranged false testimony for the insane Aunt Xiao in order to avoid trouble. Second, Aunt Xiao was the murderer who killed her husband and son. And this The third is that Xiao Baichuan killed his son, and in a fit of rage, Aunt Xiao killed her husband in order to avenge her son."

Indeed, these are the three most likely scenarios at present. No matter what the outcome is, Aunt Xiao is the key witness involved in the case. If you want to re-examine the case, you can only ask the details from her mouth.

But obviously, Aunt Xiao's current state is very difficult to cooperate with the inquiry.

Xiao Beicheng extinguished the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, walked up to the gentleman who was squatting beside him, and raised his chin with a half smile, making him look up at him slightly, his eyes full of waiting to see Fun for jokes.

Jun Ziyou knew him so well that he could even guess how many words he could utter when he opened his mouth. He quickly understood what he meant, his expression was a little distorted, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"Hey, my lord, don't you want to..."

"Wouldn't it be useless if you don't use your superb acting skills?"

The author has something to say: The appearance of the corpse sisters seems to have not provided any help to the case, but they will still occupy a key position in the future, let me give you a preview.
