Chapter 51 Possession
“There is no doubt that the murderer is 90% likely to be Wang Baoli!”
In the large room reserved by the village chief, Patrolman Li Shuang directly confirmed the answer.
“Is it reliable?” Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
The look on Li Shuang's face when he said the answer was too conclusive.
In normal times, that would be enough. Zhang Xuezhou can trust professionals.
But something went wrong in the trial of this case, involving the Rong family, and everyone had to come to 'catch the ghost'. This made Zhang Xuezhou not have that strong sense of trust in professionals, and he only felt that there was A lot of mistakes are possible.
“It must be reliable!” Li Shuang confirmed.
“What is the other 10% possible?” Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"There is still a 10% possibility that Wang Fuan lost his footing and fell into the water and drowned in the Longmen River." Li Shuang waved his hands and said: "But for such a big man, it is probably not possible!"
"Have you conducted an autopsy?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"Autopsy? How can you do an autopsy on a body that's swollen like that?" Li Shuang waved his hands and said: "Besides, as the parties, you yourself didn't go to confirm Wang Fu'an's body, let alone us. After all, our yamen has too many people. Limited, no one has the ability to do an autopsy, we may make mistakes The possibility is very high!"
"Then you might as well invite me to take a look," Rong Li said: "I have seen dead pigs in all these years..."
" , not a dead person!”
Li Shuang waved his hand, indicating that Rong Li’s autopsy was even more unreliable.
"They are all corpses, so what's the difference?" Rong Li said unhappily: "I can tell at a glance the bumps, bindings, and knife wounds!"
"Your kind is a normal corpse, Yamen The corpses examined for autopsy have generally been dead for many days, and there is a lot of filth in the corpses. If you're not careful, your body will explode, and the maggots on your body will stink for several days, and the kind that will rot until you have a pile of bones..."
"Forget it, I don't meet the requirements of the Yamen!"< br>
Rong Li persisted for a few seconds, and then gave up her persistence.
The talent of autopsy requires not only boldness and carefulness, but also many professional skills, which is indeed completely different from killing pigs.
"You just believe in my judgment." Li Shuang said helplessly: "There are too few things happening in this kind of village, and there is no possibility of other accidents. I guess Wang Baoli listened to Mu Taoist's words about water ghosts and took advantage of Wang Fuan's night. He had evil intentions while hunting for sheep!"
"Then go and catch him. What do you want us to do?" Rong Li said.
“I was stabbed by you!” Li Shuang waved his hands and said, “It’s not easy for me to arrest people now!”
“Then you go back to the Yamen and call for help,” Rong Li said.
"If I really want to go back to the Yamen to call for help, I will be punished by Mr. Bao. You will inevitably be involved, and you will still be punished for being involved in the counterfeit paintings of gods," Li Shuangdao said.
"The real culprit has been caught, why is there still something to do with us?" Rong Tianding said unwillingly: "I just sell a few paintings!"
"To put it mildly, you use the haunting incident to sell paintings It's deceiving people and making money. To put it more seriously, you are deceiving people and disrupting order. "Beheading is not an exaggeration." Li Shuang said with a smile: "You are lucky that Mr. Rong has some status in our city, so he did not fall to the point of direct execution!" Rong Li held it up, which made Rong Li's face slightly bright for a moment.
Although the Rong family only runs a pig-killing business, Rong Li can say that at least half of the people in Chengdu have eaten the pork they sell.
This allows everyone to look at the Buddha instead of the monk, and at least not go too far when doing things.
Now it is also a matter of tacit understanding.
They helped the Yamen settle the murder case, and the Yamen didn't say anything about it and just ignored Rong Tianding's selling of fake paintings.
As long as Rong Tianding does not add fuel to the fire when the ghost is haunted, the yamen can even turn a blind eye to Rong Tianding's future sales of fairy paintings.
Li Shuang and Rong Li communicated in a low voice, and finally felt confident.
"We can help, but we are just pig butchers and do not have the law enforcement power of the yamen. If we arrest Wang Baoli directly, we will probably provoke public anger," Rong Li said with a frown.
"Not only do we need to arrest Wang Baoli, we also need to quell this haunted incident." Li Shuang said with a headache: "How to make the villagers believe that there are no ghosts in Longmen Village. Wang Baoli did many things. It is difficult!"
"It's impossible for Wang Baoli to take away so many pigs and cows, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully: "How can you make the villagers believe such a thing?"
"I heard from Master that the person who took away the pigs and cows was a big shot," Li Shuang said: "When he was passing by, he took the villagers' pigs and cows and beat their teeth as sacrifices. Now he has sent a sum of money as compensation, and he will be responsible for it soon. The Yamen was sent to Longmen Village for disaster relief."
"This is really..."
Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a moment. What caused Longmen Village to panic and people in Chengdu to panic was actually just something a big shot did casually.
He was surprised at the great destruction of order by the big shots, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with this big shot.
Obviously they only needed to pay for it, but they chose to take it without telling them, causing panic in the surrounding area. In the end, they were involved, and they had to do the finishing work.
Clearing up is obviously very difficult.
Patrol Li Shuang failed to pretend to be a ghost. It is difficult for this kind of thing to happen again.
As Li Shuang said, you must have the ability to pretend to be a ghost, otherwise barking in the middle of the night will attract the big dogs in the village, and you may end up telling the truth in the dog's mouth.
Everyone deliberated for a while, and after some blind discussion to no avail, Zhang Xuezhou hesitated to ask.
"Do you think we can catch Wang Baoli as a ghost?"
On the one hand, we need to break the rumors of ghosts. We must catch a ghost or fool him to pass.
On the other hand, Wang Baoli must be captured.
It is extremely difficult for everyone to complete two things separately. Zhang Xuezhou proposed another possibility.
“As long as we confirm that Wang Baoli is possessed by a water ghost, we will definitely be able to capture him and get the villagers to cooperate!”
I thought that Mu Taoist had used ‘ghost possession’ to control him Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but imitate Wang Baoli's body and prepared to operate it on Wang Baoli.
It’s just that the Mu Taoists are really capable, but they are just fooling around with living people as ghosts.
When Zhang Xuezhou expressed his thoughts, Li Shuang pursed his lips and moved a little away from Zhang Xuezhou.
"The mind of a scholar is very fast!"
Li Shuang exclaimed in admiration.
The warriors think simply, and do not use their brains to do things that can be cut with a knife.
The literati have too many twists and turns.
Li Shuang only felt that the Rong family’s thoughts on studying were too complicated, far less simple than when they sold pigs before.
"Cousin, it's time for you to show off the power of fairy paintings," Zhang Xuezhou said.
“Cousin, if we continue like this, it’s easy to cause problems.” Rong Tian Dingchou said, “I feel like things are getting bigger and bigger!”
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t do it. Anyway, it’s not me who gets beaten.” Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands and said.
“Let’s go, let’s catch the water ghost!”
Being reminded by Zhang Xuezhou, Rong Tianding immediately lost his hesitation when he thought about the ten sticks he had in the Yamen.
"Let's hold a ceremony..."
Zhang Xuezhou came up with a crooked idea, which immediately made Rong Tianding nod his head.
Others can’t do things the way they do, but Rong Tianding can do it.
As a painter of fairy paintings, it is normal for Rong Tianding to be able to catch ghosts.
Although Rong Tianding is not as famous as Taoist Mu, everyone at least knows that he can draw paintings of gods and has a certain connection with gods.
As long as someone believes, things will be easy to handle.
Rong Tianding walked out with an excited expression, and Zhang Xuezhou followed him, preparing to strike.
"Old Jia, you really know how to enhance the Feng Shui of our Rong family!"
Seeing the two good pig-killing heirs turning into two little liars, Rong Li felt that this was all It was the scholar Jia Zhiyuan who taught him bad things.
“I shouldn’t have blindly chosen you back then. If I hadn’t chosen you, I would have found an honest man. The offspring of an honest man will definitely be honest and will follow me to kill pigs honestly...”< br>
Rong Li talked about Jia Zhiyuan as usual, and when Rong Tianding loudly greeted "folks" outside, Rong Li walked out gloomily.
