Chapter 38 No.30 Six Remains

The next day, Li Zhongchi drove to Jialan Lane to pick up Hua Ting and Ouyang Ji and went to the place where the incident happened. He was accompanied by a government servant named Zhou Yuncong...

In front of the dry well in the deserted courtyard, the blood on the ground had completely dried up, and it was as black as a puddle of ink sticking to the ground.

Li Zhongchi and Zhou Yun went down to the well to dig, put the sand and stones in the basket, and then Ouyang Ji pulled the rope up and dumped them.

After digging a foot deep, there was still no abnormality. Li Zhongchi raised his head and shouted at the mouth of the well, not intending to dig any further.

Ouyang Ji pulled up a basket of soil and was about to pour it out, Hua Ting reached out and quickly touched the soil in the basket, and the shock of overturning the sky came suddenly.

"Brother Li, please dig a little deeper..." Hua Ting shouted from the mouth of the well.

Liu Qinglan had earlier instructed Li Zhongchi and Li Zhongchi to obey Hua Ting and Ouyang Ji's orders, so Hua Ting asked them to continue digging, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only cooperate.

Suddenly, a piece of pale white stuff was mixed in the excavated soil. Li Zhongchi bent down to pick it up and looked at it carefully. It was a thin and long piece.

Zhou Yun came over to look at it, pointed to the thing in Li Zhongchi's hand, and said, "This seems to be a human rib..."

"should be."

As he spoke, Li Zhongchi dug out a few more shovels one after another, and even dug out a skull. The cracks on the skull were divergent, and it seemed that he had suffered a heavy blow.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the two of them dug deep.

Because of the discovery in the well, Ouyang Ji immediately drove back to the county government office to explain to Liu Qinglan, and Liu Qinglan sent several government officials to accompany Ouyang Ji back to the scene.

There were too many people, Li Zhongchi and Zhou Yuncong finally had a chance to rest, they came out of the well and sat under the eaves for a while.

Hua Ting set up a stove in the courtyard and made hot tea for the servants to drink. Seeing this, she brought two bowls of hot tea to Li Zhongchi and the two to quench their thirst.

Li Zhongchi took the hot tea and called Hua Ting, "I don't know something, I want to ask my lady."

Hua Ting stopped and said, "Brother Li, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

"On what grounds does the lady think that there must be a problem in the well?"

Ever since the bones were dug up, Li Zhongchi had become suspicious of the flowers that the two of them insisted on digging deeply.

Hua Ting had expected to be suspected, and said, "I wasn't so sure before, but I encountered a strange thing after I went home yesterday, and Brother Li must have heard of it...

Although the blood-clothed ghost is weird, if you think about it carefully, the other party is not harmful but just scary, but why should he be scary?Because it's fun?Obviously not, so what is he for? "

Li Zhongchi said, "Could it be that the bloody clothes left behind are clues, or that the owner of the bloody clothes treated Xue wrongly."

Hua Ting nodded and said, "As far as I can tell, this explanation is the closest to its purpose, so I think of Zhang Po's case.

Assuming that the other party killed Zhang Po because someone bought the murderer, then he could throw it into the well as a disguise after killing Zhang Po. Judging from the desolation of the place, it may not be discovered in a short time, but it is clear that the murderer did not do it.

In other words, the other party killed Zhang Po on purpose...

Maybe there is a grudge between the two, but the murderer's purpose is not just to kill Zhang Po, but to attract the attention of others. Combined with the particularity of the location of Zhang Po's body, it is not difficult to deduce that there may be a death in this dry well or There are hidden secrets. "

Hua Ting fooled her so much that she even believed it.

Li Zhongchi and Li Zhongchi had never looked at the case from such a tricky perspective as Yamen servants. After hearing Hua Ting's analysis, they were astonished. They would doubt Hua Ting again.

"Little lady is amazing!" Li Zhongchi praised, and Zhou Yun followed suit.

Hua Ting was to avoid arousing others' suspicion of her, and whether she was powerful or not was not in her consideration. Seeing that Li Zhongchi didn't ask any more questions, she went back to watch the stove to boil water.

Zhou Yun left from Waiting for Flowers, approached Li Zhongchi and said.

"If this little lady becomes a master, why don't our masters worry about being promoted?"

Li Zhongchi glanced at Zhou Yuncong, and whispered advice.

"Our master offended the people at the top. You can't go up by doing some meritorious deeds. You don't say these words so as not to add fuel to the fire."

Zhou Yuncong immediately shut up.

The Yamen officials dug for a day and a night, sorting out 35 skeletons, which shocked the entire Jiuqu County, and the most shocking thing was seeing the Huating of Dian'en.

"Didn't you say 36 lives? How come there are only 35 skeletons in this dry well, what else do you know?" Hua Ting chased after Ouyang Ji and asked.

Since the bones were dug out from the well, Ouyang Ji became extremely silent, no matter what Hua Ting asked.

But the more this was the case, the more eager Hua Ting was to know the reason. The 35 remains were all determined to be female after an inspection by the author. As a woman, Hua Ting could not ignore them.

Faced with Hua Ting's repeated questioning of Ouyang Ji, he hesitated to speak several times, but finally said nothing.

"Maybe you think it's too unreasonable for me to press you to make trouble, but those 35 women have been wronged for more than a few years. As an insider, why didn't you avenge them for them, and it was only now that I found out that their wrongs were brought to the light of day."

Ouyang Ji sat in a chair with his head down and said casually what Hua Ting said, but he was still indifferent, Hua Ting said disappointedly.

"I know you are a cold-hearted person, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Forget it, Hua Ting is not a saint. I can't live with someone like you under the same roof."

After finishing speaking, Hua Ting began to pack her belongings, tied a bundle on her back and left.

"Sister..." Ouyang Ji rushed over and hugged Hua Ting by the waist.

Hua Ting looked down at Ouyang Ji who was looking up at her with a sad face, and decisively broke away Ouyang Ji's hand that was holding her.

"No!" Ouyang Ji hugged Hua Ting again and clasped his arms tightly, tremblingly said, "Sister, don't go, I say, but you must promise not to tell anyone."

Hua Ting said coldly, "How can you solve the case if you hide the truth? I can't promise you."

"But this is related to Zicun's reputation. Could it be that my sister really has the heart?"

"Then I won't embarrass you."

As he said that, Hua Ting dragged Ouyang Ji out with all his might.

Although Ouyang Ji is strong but thin in stature, he blurted out anxiously when Hua Ting led him out of the house.

"The No.30 six skeletons should have been me..."

Hua heard the words and suddenly froze, stopped in disbelief and looked at Ouyang Ji, who was streaming down his face.

"What's going on, please tell me clearly."

Ouyang and Song Huating stepped back a few steps and fell into the chair, as if all the strength in their bodies had been sucked away.

"It was Qing Niang who saved me back then, otherwise, I would have died long ago...

It was also after that narrow escape that I began to collect evidence of various crimes, and investigated everywhere about the forces behind the Dian'en Pavilion, but the more I investigated, the more chilling I became. That force is too powerful, and it is not something grassroots people like me can shake. "

It has been like this since ancient times, people are like lambs to be slaughtered, and there is no other way to face power than to recognize their own powerlessness.

Hua Ting stepped forward to hug the trembling Ouyang Ji, and couldn't stop rubbing Ouyang Ji's back to comfort him.
