"Does the county government know that there are no ghosts here?"
"How do you know?"
"You said there would be no ghosts if there were no ghosts?"
…
Zhang Xuezhou remembered that everyone was still worried about how to catch ghosts last night, but in just one night, things unexpectedly changed dramatically.
He looked at the extra injured number in the room and couldn't believe for a moment that this was someone sent by the county government to cooperate with the work.
It's just that this official named Li Shuang was not strong enough and was almost hacked to death by Rong Li.
"That's it!" Patrolman Li Shuang spread his hands and said, "At least the information I received is to put an end to the haunting in Shilipo as soon as possible, and then investigate the death of Wang Fu'an!"
Li Shuang looked a little sad.
The incident of pretending to be a ghost and being beaten was exposed on the spot, and he did not investigate the cause of Wang Fuan's death.
In short, he is now paralyzed after being severely injured and unable to walk, so he can only recuperate from his injuries.
"So there's nothing wrong with us?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
Since the county government is sure that there are no ghosts in Shilipo, the basis for them to do this is not established.
Wang Fu'an was not harmed by ghosts, nor did they harm anyone with fake paintings, nor did they need to go to the county government to receive ten sticks.
"I have no say in this matter," Li Shuang said: "The instructions I received do not conflict with the county government's judgment!"
"What do you mean?" Rong Tianding asked: "If we leave now, will you catch me and beat me even if there is no ghost in Shilipo?"
"I think you're right." Li Shuang nodded and said, "If you can't help the county government settle this matter, you may be beaten 99% of the time!"
"Oh my God, I want to cry out for injustice. Who can help me redress my injustice? The county government has wronged a good person!"
Rong Tianding screamed several times with a sad face.
The information Li Shuang brought privately does not conflict with the county government's judgment.
If the county government's problems cannot be solved, the absence of ghosts will become ghosts.
This is not what they have the final say, but what the people say.
As long as people have ghosts in their hearts, even if there are no ghosts in Longmen Village, there will still be ghosts, which will always cause people to panic and even force the villagers to move away.
And what they have to do is to get rid of the ghost in their hearts.
"You can only cooperate with me to complete this matter," Li Shuang said reluctantly.
"Then if you keep screaming in the middle of the night, I'll be gentler this time?" Rong Li frowned.
"I can't do this anymore." Li Shuang said with a headache: "I have been stabbed by you now, and I can't even beat the dogs at the head of the village. If I bark a few times at night, I will probably be exposed and cause bigger problems.
"
The villagers may have been worried the first time and hid in their homes, afraid to visit, but once they got used to it, they would be more likely to visit the next time.
Li Shuang felt that there was a high probability that his mission would fail.
Moreover, he was physically injured and could not escape after being beaten.
"Then someone else comes here," Rong Li said.
"I am the one who can fight best in the county government," Li Shuang said helplessly: "The other guys are just strong and have never learned martial arts. They can't even beat a dog with a knife."
"Then there's no way I can pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night." Rong Li frowned and said, "No one would believe me if I pretend to be a ghost with a voice like my own!"
Everyone just felt that there were a lot of fake ghosts recently. Mu Taoist continued to pretend to be a yamen, which made people doubt their life for a while.
But their matter needs to be resolved, which does not conflict with the Yamen's efforts to quell the haunting.
"Don't you think the most important thing is to find the real murderer?" Jia Zhiyuan said quietly: "Even if we stage a big show of catching ghosts, if the murderer commits another attack, no matter how we play, it will be in vain!"
"That's right." Li Shuang nodded and said, "I originally wanted to finish the show, wait until you leave, and the villagers relax to investigate. Now I can only ask you to help me do some research!"
"We are not good at solving crimes," Rong Tianding waved his hand and refused.
"It is not difficult to solve the case." Li Shuang shook his head and said: "As long as it is confirmed that it is not caused by ghosts and gods, and the cause of the case is just some grudges, just ask Wang Fu'an who he usually has conflicts with, and you will probably know who the real murderer is!
"
"So simple?" Rong Tianding asked curiously.
"How complicated do you think it is?" Li Shuang said with a smile: "Is there anyone who traveled twenty or thirty miles to kill Wang Fu'an?"
"Maybe," Rong Tianding said, "I heard that some good men traveled thousands of miles to take heads..."
"It's not that mysterious." Li Shuang shook his head and said: "Wang Fu'an is just an ordinary person and cannot cause conflicts thousands of miles away. Moreover, the haunting in Shilipo has made people panic. How can any outsider come to Longmen Village!"
"That is to say?"
"Ninety percent of the time the perpetrator was a villager, and he must have had a conflict with Wang Fuan, so he used the name of a water ghost to kill him in the Longmen River!"
Li Shuang briefly explained the idea of solving the case, and after describing it step by step, everyone nodded for a while, and felt that what the other party said was reasonable.
When the county government knew the truth about the haunting, it undoubtedly saw the trump card, and it became easier to use reverse reasoning to solve the case.
"As long as you help the county government this time, you will not only be able to clear your name and escape punishment, but you will also be able to become famous by exorcising ghosts, and you will be able to sell that fairy painting business in the future." Li Shuang said: "This is not a loss for you.
!”
"I regret selling fairy paintings. I didn't make much money, and I got a lot of trouble!"
Rong Tianding cried out. He felt that he should be cautious in selling paintings in the future, and even try to change his career as early as possible.
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.
This time he had an opportunity to escape punishment, but he might not be so lucky next time.
But no matter what happens in the future, they must at least get through this current wave of difficulties.
For a while, everyone discussed, and then everyone went out to investigate.
After patrolling Li Shuang and making ghost noises at night, the haunted atmosphere in Longmen Village once again increased. Many people ran to the village chief, and many looked at Rong Li and others.
This allows everyone to infiltrate the villagers of Longmen Village without any problems.
"Then Wang Fu'an was an honest man, but it's a pity that he died too early!"
"If he doesn't do anything bad on weekdays, he won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. He may be killed by ghosts, but he may not be as honest as he seems!"
"I heard that Wang Fu'an chewed up the grass in Wang Baoli's house when he was chasing sheep!"
"The grass turns yellow after autumn, and sheep don't like to chew on dead grass. I'm afraid he let those sheep chew on it on purpose!"
"It must be intentional!"
"He is an honest person on the surface!"
"Not only Wang Baoli's family, but also our family was eaten up by his sheep. A large amount of vegetables were eaten by his sheep. My mother-in-law and his mother-in-law scolded each other for a long time, and then they pulled a large pile of thorns as a fence to stop his dozen or so sheep!"
…
It is not difficult to ask about relevant gossip in the village.
In just a short period of time, everyone has already found a candidate who conflicts with Wang Fu'an.
But how to get the other party to admit guilt is a difficult task.
Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Wang Baoli from a distance and felt that his appearance was ordinary and did not look like a murderer.
But Wang Baoli has indeed had a conflict with Wang Fu'an recently, and there is a greater possibility of harming people's lives.
