Chapter 369 A Murder Case Caused by a Cold Melon
Lin Mengyi's popularity in the clan was not good, and he had even quarreled with several families in the clan because of his uneasy wife.
But now that death is the most important thing, no matter how bad Lin Mengyi was when he was alive, he was still a relative of the same clan.
Everyone only feels sad, and no one gloats.
The big family-style way of living in groups for warmth makes the relationship between the relatives very close.Someone entered the Lin Family Village, killed people and set fire to them, how could this be tolerated?
Why didn't they think that it might be an accidental fire?
It's very simple. The houses of people living by the sea are either stone houses or mud brick houses, which are not materials that are easy to catch fire.
Counting up to 100 years, only the bandits who were robbed in the clan set off a fire during the military troubles in the last years of the previous dynasty. There has never been a fire for no reason.
No one will stop until they dig around to find the culprit who set the fire.This is not the matter of Lin Guofu's family, it is the matter of their entire family in Linjiazhuang.
Reporting to officials is not good at reporting to officials, and people in the countryside do not have the habit of dealing with the government.After all, one has to pay the official errand after reporting to the official. In the countryside, spending an extra penny is a thousand calculations.
But things can't just be settled in such a muddle-headed way. Patriarch Lin is not only the patriarch, but also the head of the village here, so he is naturally fully responsible for this matter.
"Uncle patriarch, you have to be the master for us! The murderous thief not only stole our cold melon, but also set fire to my husband and family. How can I live with three children in the future? !Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow this!
At this moment, facing the tragic scene in front of him, Patriarch Lin did not criticize Lin Sun for his disrespect.
A neighbor who lived nearby brought his own coat and put it on Lin Sun, who was only wearing a small coat. A fire destroyed everything, and the days of Lin Guofu's family were miserable in the future.
Their people are not thriving.
Counting from Lin Guofu, all the brothers of the direct relatives have died.In Lin Mengyi's generation, there are no direct cousins, and some are distant cousins.
However, although there are no direct cousins, Lin Mengyi originally has three brothers.
It's a pity that Lin Qingyu's father, Lin Menglian, died early, and now the beloved Lin Mengyi is gone.
Of the three well-behaved sons, only one was left, the most unpleasant eldest son, Lin Mengzhong, and Lin Lushi passed out from crying.Lin Guofu, the head of the family, was not much better, crying hoarsely.
When a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, the world is miserable, and those who hear it are sad and those who hear it cry.
"Investigate! Meng Bo, don't sleep anymore, call all the young and strong, light the torches, and search the mountain thoroughly!" Patriarch Lin's eyes were also a little red, he gritted his teeth and patted Lin Mengbo's shoulder, and said painfully.
Lin Mengbo nodded, and soon notified all the young and middle-aged people in the clan about the blanket search.All of a sudden, there were sparks everywhere in Linjiazhuang.
In the second half of the night, everyone in Linjiazhuang did not sleep well.
It is already obvious why Lin Guofu's house caught fire. Someone deliberately set the fire on fire - because no one found the remains of the cold melon.It is clear at a glance what the cause of the incident is, and it all makes sense to seek wealth and kill for the treasure.
But who can set fire to Lin's house without anyone noticing, and still escape?
Lin Mengbo, who hadn't slept in the middle of the night, squatted on the ground in front of the ancestral hall with red eyes, staring at the ruined wall that had been burned black by the fire, and remained silent.
They searched all night, on the mountain, on the seashore, even the weed nests and dog holes, but found no trace of anyone.
Everyone has never learned how to solve crimes, how could they find out the culprit so easily!
There are too many suspects, the merchant who said he wanted to buy cold melons, all the poor people who knew that Lin Guofu's family had cold melons, and the relatives and friends who were jealous of Lin Guofu's family's cold melons were all possible.
In this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and strange things may happen.
The murderer was never found, but Lin Mengyi's funeral could not be delayed. The mourning hall was built, but it was not lively.
Because he died violently, and his body was still charred, he absolutely cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, nor can he make any big fuss.
If he cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, he will have no one to protect him under the Nine Springs.Lin Lu desperately grabbed Patriarch Lin and begged and cried, but Patriarch Lin didn't let go.
The souls of suicide, dystocia, premature death, etc. are not allowed to enter the ancestral graves. This is a generational rule, and no one can make an exception.Because it is related to the luck of the whole family and will affect the family's future.
Those who did not die well, if they had land in their families, their ashes were burned and buried in the ground as the guardian spirits of their own fields.If there is no land, they can only be buried at random in mass graves.
Lin Wanwan heard the news that Lin Mengyi was burned to death last night, so she also went to see the scene.In addition to her, all the servants in her family who participated in the firefighting had also seen the scene.
Xiao Yixun's servant, the bearded man Zhongyi, after seeing the corpse, told Lin Wanwan that the man was not burned to death, but died first and then burned.
Lin Wanwan asked him why he was so sure.
Zhong Yi calmly replied: "The person burned to death was in great pain and would struggle and convulse, but his corpse showed no signs of struggling at all."
Xiao Yixun also said indifferently: "There is no trace of resistance on the body. Your people were simply and neatly harvested in their sleep."
Lin Wanwan did not doubt the authenticity of what these two said, because what they said was very reasonable.She recalled what she saw last night. Lin Mengyi's corpse was indeed in a relaxed state, not too hideous.
When such an incident happened, Lin Wanwan even blamed herself a little bit. While she brought wealth to the tribe, she also brought them a crisis.If it wasn't for the fact that the cold melon was too valuable, Lin Mengyi wouldn't have been targeted and lost his life.
Without sufficient self-protection ability, the windfall cannot be grasped, and it will only become a reminder.
"Sun Hoyao, go to the county government office and ask Xiao Ming's mansion to send someone over." Lin Wanwan told Sun Hoyao that this kind of clueless hunting in the Lin Family Manor will be fruitless.
Professional things still need professional people to do them.Since Xiao Chong came to Yan County last year, he has been known as a god in solving cases.Now that something happened to the family of the people under his rule, who would you turn to if you don't look for him as a parent?
"Here!"
"Slow down." Xiao Yixun called to stop Sun Heyao, who was about to go out, and looked at Lin Wanwan, without much emotion in his gray-blue eyes, "Why are you going to the county government to ask for help? I know how to find someone."
Lin Wanwan asked in surprise, "You know?"
Xiao Yixun gave a "hmm" without explaining, and turned his head to look at the dumb girl who always followed her silently: "Go and catch her."
The mute girl bowed her knees and bowed, then backed out.
But now that death is the most important thing, no matter how bad Lin Mengyi was when he was alive, he was still a relative of the same clan.
