"Also three years ago, a bizarre disappearance case occurred in Jiangling City."
Hua Rujinlian moved slightly, looked around at everyone casually, sneered and shook his head:
"It's just that Jiangling City was too busy three years ago. When the Beijing Police came on patrol, the third son of the Dou family died of a sudden illness, and many women disappeared. Everyone's focus was not on Zhang Yuan and the wealthy businessman surnamed Cheng, but I was researching
During these two cases, it was discovered that Zhang Yuan and Cheng Yuanwai disappeared at almost the same time, and Cheng Yuanwai happened to pass through Maoyuan Village when he returned to Jiang'an County."
"Miss Hua said that I do have some memories."
Han Dong quickly replied: "Years ago, there was indeed a wealthy businessman from Jiang'an County who often stopped in Maoyuan Village on his way between the two counties, but then there was no news about him for some reason."
"So what? What does this person's disappearance have to do with my uncle?"
Zhang Xiu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction: "Is it possible that the corpse is not my uncle but that of a wealthy businessman named Cheng?"
"It's not impossible."
Hua Rujin smiled and said: "Who wouldn't be jealous of a rich businessman who has a lot of money? It's not difficult for him to kill people, steal money and then escape from his shell."
After finishing his words, he immediately turned to Ye Chengguan and said, "I sincerely ask the magistrate to bring the young lady of the Cheng family into the hall."
Ye Chengguan immediately waved, and soon the old beggar led Cheng Nini to the hall with heavy steps.
Zhang Xiu was shocked when he saw it, and immediately said angrily: "Miss Hua, what do you mean? You are just trying to prevent me from seeking justice for my uncle. Are you going to take away my uncle's body as well?"
Hua Rujin shook her head and sighed: "I still have the same question, how do you determine that the body is your uncle's?"
Zhang Xiu pursed his lips arrogantly again: "Then how do you determine that this corpse belongs to a wealthy businessman named Cheng?"
"Of course I have a way."
Hua Rujin laughed secretly in her heart: Isn't it appropriate to give yourself a chance?
"Everyone must be familiar with the method of shedding blood to identify relatives. You will know who this corpse belongs to once you try it."
Hua Rujin looked at Zhang Xiu coldly. From this test, she had already determined that there was something evil in this man's heart, and she was afraid that it was very similar to what she had inferred.
Although it had been proven in her time that there was no scientific basis for identifying relatives by dripping blood, but now it is similar to DNA testing.
What you are betting on now is nothing more than a psychological defense line.
She took advantage of the situation and tightened her grip on Cheng Nini, who looked confused, and calmly said to everyone:
"It is said that blood is thicker than water. Although the corpse is rotten, if there is a blood relationship, even if only the bones in the grave are left, it can be blended with one's own blood. It is not difficult to identify who this corpse is today.
Just take the remains of the deceased and drip in the blood of the loved ones. If it is a close relative, the blood will blend into the bones, otherwise it will just condense on the surface."
Hearing what she said was clear and logical, Ye Chengguan quickly ordered the officer: "Get the bones."
Although the idea of dripping blood to identify one's relatives is not unfamiliar, it is unheard of to drip one's bones to identify one's relatives.
I don’t know where this girl learned all these unorthodox things all day long.
But Cheng Nini became extremely uneasy at this time. She raised her eyes and stared at Hua Rujin, her heart filled with fear.
"Don't be afraid."
Hua Rujin patted her back gently.
After all, some things must be learned to face sooner or later.
Rather than letting this girl wait with a trace of fantasy, it would be better for her to accept the reality earlier.
After the officers brought a piece of bones and a knife, Hua Rujin took a closer look and saw that the bones were covered with microscopic holes of decay.
"Since Mr. Zhang has determined that this corpse belongs to your uncle, can you please invite Mr. Zhang and your brother to come first?"
Hua Rujin picked up the knife without hesitation and signaled.
That calm and calm posture frightened Zhang Xiu to murmur in his heart, and he could only shake his head pretending to be calm.
The child next to him had a look of fear on his face and clung to his shoulder.
"Then we have to let Nini try it first."
Hua Rujin turned to Cheng Nini with gentle eyes, and said with distressed relief: "Nini, please bear with me."
The old beggar probably knew something in his mind at this time. He couldn't bear to close his eyes and whispered in the little girl's ear: "Nini, you have to be mentally prepared, even though Grandpa Goupi doesn't want to see such a result.
.”
Cheng Nini's eyes were full of tears, and she endured the grief and cut her fingers to drop a drop of blood into the bones.
Not long after, the drop of blood was completely soaked into the bones.
Everyone looked dumbfounded.
"Zhang Xiu, it's time for you two brothers."
Ye Chenggui frowned slightly and urged in a stern voice.
He wanted to see if the blood of this brother could be completely integrated into the bones.
But Zhang Xiu had already been so frightened that his legs were weak, and he crouched on the ground and replied at a loss: "Sir, I will recruit you, I will recruit you all. Uncle Caomin is indeed still alive, and this headless corpse in the county government is indeed like Miss Hua.
What he said was someone other than Mr. Cheng."
When Cheng Nini heard this, she held the bones in her hands tightly and burst into tears.
Seeing the little girl crying with pear blossoms in the rain, Ye Chengwei's apricot eyes flickered, with anger filling his eye sockets, and he hit the desk with a heavy knock: "Who is this kid?"
"Yes, he is a little beggar on the roadside hired by the common people for five hundred coins."
Zhang Xiu replied hesitantly: "When Cheng Yuanwai passed by Maoyuan Village, it rained heavily and the road was difficult to travel at night, so he had to stay at his uncle's house. When his uncle saw that he was carrying a lot of gold and silver with him, he became jealous and killed him.
Later, in order to cover up others' eyes and ears, he cut off Mr. Cheng's head and fled back to his old house.
My uncle was worried that something had happened, so he asked the villagers to return to Maoyuan Village for inspection many days after the incident. Unexpectedly, the headless body was hidden by the Han brothers. The Han brothers also lied that his uncle was traveling, so we left the matter behind.
Covering it up, I never thought that I heard that the headless male corpse reappeared in the world a few days ago. My uncle had already squandered all the gold and silver he had robbed in the past few years, so he came up with the idea of letting ordinary people come to blackmail the Han family's money.
"
"Your uncles are really greedy and unconscionable."
The county magistrate Tang Haoran glared at Zhang Xiu angrily, and then he realized that his previous thoughts were too superficial.
No wonder the county magistrate has always refused to close the case.
While admiring him, his eyes suddenly showed deep concern, and he secretly glanced at the little girl from the Cheng family who was crying sadly.
But Ye Chengguan had no intention of relaxing in his heart at this time. He first looked at Lu Xiuyuan with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Immediately escort Zhang Xiu to the Zhang family's old house to arrest the criminal Zhang Yuan, recover the remains of the deceased, and bury him alive."
.”
After Lu Xiuyuan took the people away, he slowly stood up, walked towards Hua Rujin and Cheng Nini, and sighed softly: "I have heard a little bit about the Cheng family's mother and daughter. I will report the truth to the state government and ask Magistrate Wen to
Seek justice for their family."
"Thank you."
For some reason, Hua Rujin's trust in him has increased inexplicably now.
The number one scholar has only been in Jiangling City for a short period of time, but he has actually done a lot of things for the people. I don't worry that he will shirk his efforts to redress the injustice of Cheng Nini's family.
Although Ye Chenggui did not want to stand by and watch, he still had many concerns in his heart: "The old lady of the Cheng family and her youngest son have been deceased for many years. If Miss Hua wants to seek justice for her family, does she have conclusive evidence?"
Hua Rujin nodded hesitantly: "As long as Ni Ni's words are true, even if the old lady of the Cheng family is a withered bone in the grave, there will always be clues."
"Okay, I believe you."
Ye Chengguan showed a warm smile.
She quietly stared at the knife in her hand and the bones in Cheng Nini's hand, and suddenly asked: "Is the method you just used really effective?"
"It's just a lie."
Seeing his curious face, Hua Rujin didn't dare to hide it.
If the county government follows this example and causes a joke or trouble in the future, he will not be held responsible for it.
Holding the knife and thinking for a while, she saw the old beggar's big hand tightly protecting the bones in Cheng Nini's hand. She made a stroke, and blood dripped from the old beggar's knuckles into the bones, and they melted completely in an instant.
Go in.
"You see, it can also be melted."
Hua Rujin gestured casually.
Ye Chengguan suddenly realized: "That's it."
The old beggar had a bitter look on his face and stared at Hua Rujin full of resentment: "Disciple, why did you scratch my master's hand?"
"Oh, disciple, I'm afraid of pain."
Hua Rujin smiled calmly at him.
Then he turned his eyes seriously back to Ye Chengguan and begged: "Please also ask the magistrate to allow Nini to go and collect the remains of his father."
Ye Chengguan glanced at the blood stains on the hands of the old beggar and Cheng Nini, and quickly ordered Dou Yiheng: "Take them two to bandage the wounds and collect the body of Mr. Cheng."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside the hall: "The prefect is here."
