Chapter 8 Accident

"absurd!"

"This is impossible!"

The one who spoke up to break the calm was cell leader Sun Fu.

"This is a dry prison, and there is no access to water. How could Li Dashan die of falling into the water and drowning?"

"Wu Zuo, you are framing me!"

“Speak with evidence!”

"Sir, you must believe me, Sun Fu. We jailers really did not use any lynching or waterboarding on Li Dashan, nor did we let Li Dashan out. Although we are a bit messy at ordinary times, what I said before is true.

This sentence is true! This Li Dashan, we jailers are really cautious and cautious."

The cell leader, Sun Fu, thought that the prisoner was suffering from old age and the autopsy could not produce any results, so he made up some random excuse and planned to frame the brothers. He was so anxious that he defended himself loudly.

Wu Zuo was not angry or angry.

The little old man seemed to have no temper and explained slowly and unhurriedly:

"Li Dashan indeed died of falling into the water and drowning."

"His belly was as bulging as a ball, water stains overflowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and his body was slightly swollen. I also found a few water plants in Li Dashan's nose... Combined with the large puddle of water stains left on the ground after Li Dashan's death,

And Li Dashan looked like an old turtle trying hard to stretch his head to breathe while dying. All signs indicate that Li Dashan died of falling into the water and drowning."

"I'm just a bad old man. I have no grudge against Mr. Sun, so why should I frame him and add insult to injury?"

Wu Zuo continued: "As for why people who fall into the water and drown, their clothes are dry."

"And why did Li Dashan, who was imprisoned alone and had never left the dry prison, die like someone who fell into the water and drowned?"

"These are all the duties of the catchers. Old man, I am only responsible for verifying the real cause of death of the deceased."

Prison leader Sun Fu was so nervous that his body was shaking with cold, and he shouted loudly that he was wronged. They really did not kill Li Dashan, and they definitely did not take Li Dashan out of the prison!

Why did Li Dashan, who had been imprisoned in the cell, show symptoms of falling into the water and drowning? They really don’t know anything!

However.

At this time, no one stood up to intercede for the jailers.

Because all the clues in front of them are indeed detrimental to Sun Fu and others.

Subsequently, Sun Fu and several jailers were detained in prison, and the county government arrested several officials and rushed to Shangpan Village to investigate all clues related to Li Dashan's death.



But the people from the yamen had just arrived in Shangpan Village, and before they had time to start an investigation, Li Zheng took the initiative to come to the door.

Li Cailiang’s body is missing!

Li Cailiang's first seven days had not passed yet, the white silk ribbons, white lanterns, and memorial inscriptions had not been removed from the house, and the body had not yet been buried in a coffin. Li Cailiang's body, which was placed in the lobby of the house to keep vigil, disappeared.

Li Zheng and Cun Yong searched in and around the village for a day, only digging three feet into the ground, but they could not find the missing body of Li Cailiang.

Things started to take a weird and uncontrollable direction.

The head catcher who led the way to Shangpan Village this time was Zheng Yuanhu, one of the three top catchers in Chang County. This man was tall and strong, with a strong back and a strong waist. The bones of his ten fingers were thicker than ordinary people. It was obvious at a glance that he was a hard-working martial artist.

As one of the three major head catchers, Zheng Yuanhu's sword is also different from the standard sword of ordinary government officials.

It was a tiger-headed thick-backed sword with a blade length of two feet and three inches. It was much heavier than ordinary swords. It was difficult for ordinary men to swing it twice in their hands, let alone swing it freely.

This Zheng Yuanhu was a well-known master of hard qigong in Chang County. He had a tiger head sword and a powerful black tiger boxing technique. He once broke into a stronghold and destroyed people all by himself. He broke into the bandit's lair in Sanjian Mountain and killed all fifteen people.

The bandits came back unscathed.

Become famous in one battle.

After Zheng Yuanhu learned that Li Cailiang's body was missing, he immediately ordered Li Zheng to lead the way and take him to Li Cailiang's house and Li Dashan's house to investigate.

Zheng Yuanhu is thoughtful and thoughtful, and he is not a reckless man, otherwise he would not be in the position of one of the three major catchers.

He already had a vague suspicion in his mind.

The bizarre drowning case of Li Dashan in a dry prison.

The case of Li Cailiang's corpse dumping.

The timing of these two cases is too coincidental.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

So he planned to start investigating directly from the homes of these two people.

The disappearance of Li Cailiang's body revealed something strange and evil. It actually disappeared under the eyes of Mrs. Li who was guarding the body. Some rumors had already spread in the village, and people were panicked. Although Li Zheng was scared, he didn't care about going against the official's words.

He was going to be beheaded and thrown into jail, so he carried a lantern and began to lead the way in the dim night.

After dark, Shangpan Village is particularly peaceful and quiet.

Except for one or two dogs barking from far and near, and cats meowing in love, which added a bit of gloomy atmosphere to the cold and windy night, hundreds of lights in the entire village were extinguished, doors and windows were closed, and the villagers

They have already taken a rest.

Li Cailiang's home is not difficult to find.

Among the few households in the village that still had candle lights on, one of them was Li Cailiang's house. Her husband's body was missing. Li's eyes were swollen from crying and she couldn't sleep all night.

There are no useful clues in Li Cailiang's home. Li Cailiang's body is indeed as Li Zheng said. The body disappeared without leaving any traces.

The corpse was so big and heavy. If someone really came to steal the corpse, it would be difficult for one person to move it. It would be impossible to do it so cleanly without leaving any traces.

But all traces are very clean.

It's as clean as if...the dead man got up and walked down on his own.

Zheng Yuanhu looked solemn and took his six government officials and Li Zheng to head to Li Dashan's house.

There was some distance between Li Cailiang's house and Li Dashan's house. Before the few people reached Li Dashan's house, Li Zheng suddenly made a sound of surprise.

"What?" Zheng Yuanhu's voice was as deep and thick as a millstone.

Li Zheng was surprised and said: "There are actually lights on in Li Dashan's house!"

Zheng Yuanhu’s voice was deep: “Isn’t it normal for people’s homes to have lights on if they can’t be seen at night?”

Unexpectedly, Li Zheng shook his head quickly: "Li Dashan is a bad gambler. He has squandered all the valuables in the family. He has not yet gotten married, and his parents were so angry that he left early. He is still alone today."

Living without relatives or friends, how could there be anyone at home?"

"Um?"

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe Li Dashan has other accomplices. Maybe this accomplice who slipped through the net is hiding in his home now." Zheng Yuan's eyes flashed thoughtfully,

"Li Zheng, you are weak and just stand here to avoid strong resistance from arresting the prisoner later, which will affect you."

"Other brothers, follow me. I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost after so many things have happened recently."

Crackling.

The bones of Zheng Yuanhu's whole body made a crisp sound like fried beans. He circulated the qi and blood in his body and activated his muscles and bones. He held the tiger-headed long sword in his hand. He, the tallest and most powerful man, took the lead and walked at the front.

The group of people walked towards Li Dashan's house, which was lit with candlelight a hundred steps away.
