Volume 3: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter 95: The Mystery Unveiled
"So, Chu Hao, who came to report to me, is the murderer?" Song Yi is not a fool, Duan Ming's words have been very clear.
"That's right." Duan Ming looked at Chen Zheng: "Chen Zheng, now I will give you another chance, you must tell the truth."
"What, what truth?" Chen Zheng's body trembled slightly.
"I know you, you are not that brave." Duan Ming said with a smile: "Hundred Ghost Night Walk has just entered the city, how dare you guard the city gate alone?"
"I..." Chen Zheng's expression changed.
"Chen Zheng, do you still want to hide it?" Duan Ming suddenly shouted.
"I...I fainted..." Chen Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said, "However, I did see Baigui, and I also saw the female ghost!"
"What's going on? Tell me!" Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"I saw a hundred ghosts and a female ghost that day. I was frightened and fainted for some reason. When I woke up, Chu Hao was not around. I was afraid that I would panic." Chen Zheng said, "Later, Chu Hao came back and told me
, saying that he went to find Lieutenant Song to report about the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts."
"Then why didn't you tell the truth before?" Song Yi's face was extremely ugly.
"I'm afraid..." Chen Zheng said with a grimace: "Originally I wanted to say it, but Chu Hao told me that it was a serious crime. If he told me...especially after I heard that Xu Laizi was dead, I would not dare
Said."
"You, you!" Song Yi let out a long sigh.
"Actually, if I guess correctly, you were not fainted by fright, but drugged by Chu Hao." Duan Ming said solemnly: "After knocking you out, Chu Hao opened the city gate and
Put 'Hundred Ghosts' into the city."
"Since there are only two people guarding the city, Chu Hao will be the only one left when you fall into a coma. In this way, you can be unnoticed." Duan Ming said this and shook his head: "To be honest, I
At first, I thought Chu Hao and Song Duwei were on the same team, after all, it is easiest for only two people to achieve such a condition."
"Indeed." Song Yi nodded: "I must be very suspicious."
"But then I thought, if Captain Song and Chu Hao are on the same team, then why would Chu Hao bother so much? It only takes the two of you to make a game, it's easy." Duan Ming said: "Therefore,
, you two are not accomplices."
"But, if this is the case, why would Chu Hao commit fraud? Since Chen Zheng has seen Baigui, why not leave the next thing to Baigui?" Qingshan said.
"Of course not!" Duan Ming shook his head: "Yesterday you also saw that it is not convenient for people disguised as Hundred Ghosts to move, and it is even very slow. If Xu Laizi is allowed to escape, then this plan may go bankrupt.
"
"So, to be on the safe side, someone must kill Xu Laizi specifically."
"So, Chu Hao's goal is nothing else, but to kill Xu Laizi and hand over Xu Laizi's body to Baigui."
"And the reason why we wanted to take off Xu Laizi's head was just to cover up the truth."
"How do you say that?" Li Waner looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.
"After a person dies, the blood flow is blocked, and at a certain point, body spots will appear." Duan Ming explained: "But Chu Hao has to go on duty that night, and it is impossible to stay by Xu Laizi's side."
"Therefore, if Chu Hao wants to kill Xu Laizi without fail, he must first immobilize Xu Laizi. However, Xu Laizi does not have any strangulation injuries on his body, so I guess that Chu Hao will stun Xu Cripple first, and then wait until the time comes.
Go and kill him."
"This has several advantages. First, even if someone knows Xu Laizi and goes to find Xu Laizi and finds that Xu Laizi is 'asleep', they will not be suspicious. After all, the job of watchman requires traveling at night, so many people will
Rest during the day.”
"Secondly, this will not leave any traces, and there will be no traces of restraint on the body, so as to avoid being discovered by the police."
"But what if Xu Laizi wakes up in the middle?" Qingshan asked doubtfully.
"The probability is indeed there, but it is very low. The dose of drug used to stun Xu Laizi should be very large." Duan Ming said: "If there are no special circumstances, Xu Laizi will never wake up."
"In this way, when the Hundred Ghosts enter the city at night, Chu Hao comes to Xu Laizi's house and kills Xu Laizi with a special weapon. The result will be perfect and no one will feel anything unusual."
"Right? Chu Hao?" Duan Ming looked at Chu Hao and said in a deep voice.
"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Chu Hao shouted!
"Do you still want to quibble?" Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "What you just said, you didn't really do it flawlessly! I once asked Commander Xing and Princess Wan'er to take a boat to explore the source of the Moon Horse, and checked from the records,
There really isn’t any problem.”
"However, many residents living in the east of the city also feel that that day seems to be much earlier."
"The watchman in the east of the city should be able to prove what I said." At this point, Duan Ming looked at the people in the audience: "Don't you know Qiu Hai is coming?"
"I'm here!" A middle-aged man about fifty years old walked out of the crowd and said to Duan Ming: "Indeed, the Sun Moon Horse left a lot early, almost half a quarter of an hour, but I thought it was
Something went wrong, so I didn’t take it seriously.”
"But now that I think about it, I should have saved my life..." At this point, Qiu Hai's eyes fell on Chu Hao, his eyes full of anger.
"Look." Duan Ming said with a smile: "I guessed right. But as you said, these are just my guesses. There is no way to convict you."
"Especially since I couldn't figure it out before, why did you cut off Cripple Xu's head?"
"At first I thought Xu Laizi's body was fake, but after an autopsy, it was found that it was not, so why did you do such a laborious thing?" Duan Ming said.
"Later, Dugu Yuan of the Da Chu envoy died, and his head was also missing. This suspicion became even deeper."
"It wasn't until I bought the heads of Xu Laizi and Dugu Yuan in the ghost market, and after a careful autopsy, that I understood the reason."
"I guess you didn't expect that I would go to the ghost market, let alone that I could find the old woman who sold the heads, so for a little profit, I sold the two heads there."
"But yes, the previous officials were afraid to avoid it and did not dare to enter the alleys of Nancheng. Although the people of Mingjing Division are not afraid, they are outsiders after all, and it is probably difficult to discover the existence of the ghost market."
"Even if they discover the existence of the ghost market, they will probably target the glorious and majestic Treasure Pavilion instead of the simple hut next to it."
"Because of this, the heads of these two people fell back into my hands. After careful autopsy, I found that the faces of these two people were slightly swollen. They should have been exposed to triazolam." At this point, Duan Ming said
He glanced at Xing Qianqiu.
Xing Qianqiu nodded, walked to Chu Hao, reached out and pulled Chu Hao's clothes away.
A small cloth bag fell to the ground along Chu Hao's clothes.
Duan Ming opened the small bag and took a look, only to see pieces of blue pills inside.
"Let me tell you, how could you not carry such a good thing with you?" Duan Ming said with a smile: "Do you still want to defend? Do you need me to invite Dr. Song from Rende Hall to judge?"
Chu Hao gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Ming unwillingly...
