Near noon, Jiang Muyang answered the phone and hurriedly logged into his email after closing the call. When he read the content of the email, his face was full of disbelief.
At this time, no one else was in the office except him and Duan Mo. He printed out the email and slapped it on Duan Mo's desk: "Primary school girl, let me show you something good."
The email was sent by an old professor from the History Department of Liancheng University. Previously, Jiang Muyang showed him the Luo family genealogy in Kaoshan Village, the jade belt hook and several things found from Luo Genfa's house, and asked him about the age of these things and the Luo family.
The origin of a family.
The old professor said in the email that the Liao Dynasty was a dynasty founded by the Khitan people with a history of more than 200 years. There are different opinions on the origin of the Khitan people. This nation was once very powerful, but after nine generations of emperors, it gradually declined and was eventually eliminated.
Destroyed by gold.
After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan people disappeared from history, and their people gradually integrated into other ethnic groups.
The Jin Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established by the Jurchen people in the north and northeastern regions. It lasted for more than a hundred years. At its peak, it had a vast territory. It was the first dynasty in history to propose the "unification of China." However, due to internal political corruption in the later period, the people were in dire straits.
It fell under the attack from the north and south by the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia.
Unlike the Khitan people, the Jurchen people did not disappear due to the fall of the country. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchen people became residents under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the Hou Jin Dynasty rose again and finally established the Qing Dynasty. The current Manchus are
A direct descendant of the Jurchen tribe back then.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, surnames gradually transitioned to monosyllables, especially after the Qing emperor abdicated. In order to hide their identity, the Manchus often changed their surnames to Han surnames.
The old professor also sent a comparison table of Manchu and Chinese surnames with the email, in which there are many Manchu surnames changed to Luo, such as Aixinjue Luo, Luo Jia, Omuchuo, Luo Yue, Fucha, etc.
The clan members changed their surname to Luo.
Compared with the Jurchens, the surnames of the Khitan people are much simpler. Originally, the Khitan people had no surnames. After the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu and Xiao Xing became popular among the middle class and common people. Later, when the Liao Kingdom fell, the Khitan people changed their surnames to Han surnames.
The main surnames include Li, Mu, Han, Luo, Yi, Gai, etc.
The old professor also said that after identification, the jade belt hook can be identified as a jade from the Liao Dynasty. There is also a sign with Khitan characters engraved on it, but due to severe wear and tear, its content can no longer be identified.
Based on the analysis of the obtained data, it is unlikely that the Luo clan in Kaoshan Village are descendants of the Jurchens. Therefore, it is very likely that they are a branch of the Khitan clan who lived near Tianjian Mountain and took root here.
After reading this email, Duan Mo handed the A4 paper back to Jiang Muyang: "It's very dramatic!"
"I'm going to Lianda University right away to get the jade belt hook back." Jiang Muyang said as he walked out, "The army will be back soon, you tell him."
…
A new round of interrogation work was again put on the agenda, and the next morning, Luo Erdan was first taken to the interrogation room.
Previously, he only admitted that he was pretending to be deaf. Regarding the father-son relationship with Luo Genfa, even after seeing the paternity test, he still insisted that he had no knowledge of it, and even denied any involvement in the murder case.
From 9 a.m. to noon, rest for an hour before continuing until evening.
At the beginning, Luo Erdan behaved very calmly, and his answers to the questions he had answered were highly consistent with those before. He was like a primary school student with a good attitude, reciting familiar texts in front of the teacher.
It wasn't until Yan Yishuai took out the jade belt hook that the calm expression on his face finally cracked. He obviously didn't expect that this thing would be found.
Yan Yishuai is very experienced and skilled in interrogation, and of course he will not miss this opportunity.
He put the evidence bag back on the table: "Isn't there an old saying, if you don't want people to know, you have to do nothing about it. Zhou Zheng was hanged away by this thing, right?" Although it is a question, but
The tone is affirmative.
Luo Erdan turned his face away and avoided his gaze.
Yan Yishuai added: "What the court pays attention to is evidence. As long as the evidence is conclusive, it doesn't matter whether there is a confession, but the attitude of guilty plea can directly affect the sentencing. Now let you say it yourself, I am giving you a chance. If you don't want this chance,
There is no need for us to waste time here."
He leaned on the edge of the table, looked at Luo Erdan with a gloomy face for a while, and raised his chin: "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you lived before? There are all the children about your age in the village.
You're all over the place, but what about you? A deaf man living in a poor ravine who doesn't even have a wife."
Lu Dongming, who was sitting behind the interrogation table, laughed and continued: "Even if you marry a wife and have a son in the future, you will still live in the mountains guarding a dead man for the rest of your life. Not only you, but also your son and your grandson, it's worth it
?”
"That's right." Yan Yishuai nodded in agreement, "Besides, the tomb can no longer be defended. Why are you insisting on it? It's better to seek leniency and live an upright life when you go out."
Luo Erdan finally couldn't hold it any longer, lowered his head and wiped away his tears: "It's all my fault. I was too stupid to do this..."
Yan Yishuai stuffed him with a few tissues and patted him on the shoulder: "Tell me everything you know. We will tell our superiors later that you are very cooperative with our work."
Luo Erdan cried for a while, sniffed hard, and began to explain what happened. His description was a bit confusing, but the general idea was still clear.
The original reason has to be told when the group of tomb robbers entered the mountain for the first time last autumn.
Although Tianjian Mountain is located in a remote area, it was originally not noticed by people. However, in recent years, more and more people like to climb mountains, and some people have set their sights on it.
However, Tianjian Mountain is undeveloped and dangerous. After a traveler disappeared, almost no one took the risk again.
It was just autumn when the tomb robbers came. They disguised themselves as mountain climbers and went into the mountain. Kaoshan Village is the only way to Tianjian Mountain. Even if you don't go through the village, you will pass by the village entrance.
Earlier, Luo Genfa told the villagers that if they found outsiders, they must notify him in time, so he would know as soon as they arrived.
But this group of people were well dressed, with full mountaineering equipment and tents. He quietly followed them and found that they were not heading towards the hillside of the ancient tomb, so he relaxed his vigilance.
Who knows, they went around and around, and finally turned from the mountain to the location of the ancient tomb. By the time Luo Genfa realized it, he had already dug a hole. But because the tomb wall was too thick, he had to give up halfway, cover the hole again, and leave.
to Tianjian Mountain.
Luo Genfa knew that the group of thieves would definitely not give up, so he did not touch the entrance of the cave. He wanted to wait for them to come again and catch them all to avoid future troubles.
