I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 41

At midnight, the city was full of wind and snow.

In the south of Weishui City, the lights are bright.

These quacks, who are not afraid of anything, are really frightened by the death of the five members of the Black Water Gang.

In addition, during this period of time, the Zhengqing Gang and the Blackwater Gang were vigilant against each other and opposed each other, and the atmosphere in the old street in the south of the city became tense.

Zhengqing gang, on the attic, Xie Qing closed his eyes and drooped his eyes, sitting on the floor, as if asleep.

It seems to be resting, and it seems to be waiting for someone.

A quack in the courtyard outside the house passed by, took a look, and clicked his tongue.

——The boss has been maintaining these attitudes every night for several days, and he doesn't know what he's doing.

But even if they had questions, these quacks didn't dare to ask more questions, and turned around and left.

It's just that what he didn't notice was that as soon as he left, there was a figure in black, black robe and black mask standing at the door.

quietly.

Yu Chen walked into the room.

Xie Qing finally opened his eyes.

The person he was waiting for has arrived!
"senior."

As if he breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Qing greeted respectfully, "What you explained back then has some clues."

Yu Chen nodded, sat down on a chair, and waited for the next sentence.

Xie Qing took out a stack of paper rolls from the drawer, and said, "I sent people to check the lists you gave back—it's strange, 15 years ago, these people were indeed in Weishui, but when you said After that case, these people died, disappeared, and went away, and almost a year after that case, there was not one left."

After listening, Yu Chen frowned slightly.

These lists are the witnesses who testified in the secret trial during the revolving door of the coroner's dead man.

Judging from the memory of Dead Man's Mouth, their testimony at that time all proved that Yu Chen's parents were the murderers in that massacre.

So Yu Chen wanted to get some news from them, such as who was behind the scenes who asked them to testify.

But I didn't expect that after 15 years, none of these guys remained.

Is it the mastermind behind the scenes, killing people?

But if this is the case, why can the dead mouth live for so many years?
Because he doesn't know the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes?

Or was it because he had experience as a yamen coroner?
No one knows.

But what is certain is that this road is broken.

Feeling a little lost, but Yu Chen didn't show any emotion on his face.

Xie Qing raised his head and glanced at the grimace mask tentatively, as if he only saw the cold iron stone, without any reaction, he hurriedly buried his head down, and continued:

"But you asked me to investigate the case 15 years ago, and I found something.

At that time, because the perpetrator was from the yamen, in order to protect the reputation of the yamen, the case was tried in secret and never made public.

But I still have some connections in the yamen these years, and after inquiring by various parties, I still heard some information, which is enough to piece together some fragments of the year. "

Immediately afterwards, Xie Qing shared the news he had heard.

Thus, a case buried in dust slowly unfolded in front of Yu Chen.

Let's say that 15 years ago, the county magistrate had just taken office, and there were two generals under him, one bright and the other dark.

The wise man arrested Yu Tiesheng as the head arrester, he hated evil as much as his enemy, was highly skilled in martial arts, upright and unselfish.No matter whether they are the sons of rich families or the heirs of officials, as long as they commit crimes, none of them can escape.

As for the dark one, it has always been a legend, no one knows who he is and what he looks like.

All I know is that the county magistrate had just taken office at that time, and Yu Yinming, the previous county magistrate, played tricks secretly, causing the Weishui River to be in a state of chaos.

But one day, overnight, blood flowed profusely, and those guys all went honest; so it was widely rumored that there was a guy who was doing some shameless things for the county magistrate at that time, called "scavenger".

And it is against this background that on a rainy night 15 years ago, a family of wealthy merchants in the Tianqiao area, the Chen family, was killed in a massacre. A family of twelve, including a dog, left no one alive!
At the scene of the crime, there were no other traces, only a pair of copper maces were left.

Finally, after investigation, it was found that this was the weapon used by the chief arresting house arrester Yu Tiesheng and his wife at that time.

Such a massacre of family destruction naturally shook the entire Weishui River.

The yamen immediately acted, autopsyed, arrested, interrogated, and brought to court!

In the whole process, within three days, the truth came out and the truth came out.

The former head of Weishui arrested Yu Tiesheng and his wife, and committed a massacre of family extermination. The evidence was solid and he was sentenced to beheading!
——Of course, these are all appearances, and they are all things that everyone in the yamen approves on the surface.

But in fact, Xie Qing found many doubts during the investigation.

One, motivation.

There must be a motive for killing, or murder for money, or murder, or hate out of love, even that kind of perverted murderer, but also slaughters the same kind to satisfy his twisted desire.

But Yu Tiesheng and Chen's family of thirteen, it can be said that there is no conflict, no interest entanglement and emotional disputes, and judging from the personality of Yu Tiesheng and his wife, they are not the kind of bloodthirsty lunatics.

Yu Tiesheng had no motive at all to destroy the Chen family.

On the contrary, Yu Tiesheng has a great kindness to the Chen family!
Because before the Chen family was exterminated, they were already involved in a case. After the death of their daughter, it was Yu Tiesheng who caught the murderer and let the Chen family's daughter die in peace.

Second, abnormal.

At that time, it was widely rumored in Weishui that Yu Tiesheng, who was arrested in chief, was a master of martial arts with superb martial arts, invulnerable to iron and stone.

And what about the Chen family?

Nothing but a little money.

Even ignoring the motive, Yu Tiesheng is crazy and wants to kill, so there is no need to use his and his wife's copper mace as the murder weapon - mace weapons are rare in the first place, and after committing a crime, it is naturally easier to be targeted.

Take another [-] steps back and say, even if he is really crazy, he will hold a copper mace and pull his wife to kill together!
It's also impossible to leave the murder weapon at the scene like a loser - after all, he is the chief arrester of Weishui and has solved countless cases. How could such a low-level mistake be made? !
"15 years ago, I was not in Weishui."

After telling everything he found, Xie Qing frowned slightly and expressed his opinion: "So I can only piece together the truth of that case based on the few words that have been handed down to the present—in a word, I don't think that Yu Tiezhuo is the real one. murderer."

After listening, it took a long time before Yu Chen let out a long breath.

Seeing this, Xie Qing's expression froze suddenly.

——Back then on Fanghua Mountain, when the senior in front of him killed the tiger, he also made the same action.

The dense white mist overflowed from under the grimace, like a ghost.

Therefore, it should be seen that the mood of this senior should not be calm.

Thinking of this, Xie Qing lowered his posture and added:

"In addition, I also found some other things. It is said that Yu Tiezhuo had a disciple at that time, who was also working in the arresting room.

This person was originally a wandering orphan, but was later adopted by Yu Tiechao.

He is also respectful to Yu Tiechu, and he even arranges the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Yu couple.He also has the key to the residence of Yu's couple. "

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes, "Continue"

"The following are all my conjectures. If I'm wrong, don't blame me, senior."

Xie Qing took a deep breath and said:
"I also know a lot of people who practice martial arts, let alone those who are good at fists and feet; as for those who dance with spears and sticks, they basically regard weapons as important as their lives.

And Yu Tiechu is such a top expert, I'm afraid it's even more so.So if he is not the murderer, then why did the bronze mace of him and his wife remain at the scene of the crime?I guess, the only way is... to set the blame on!Someone deliberately stole his weapon, and set it up at the scene of the crime!
But for Yu Tiezhuo, who is extremely gifted, it would be wishful thinking for ordinary people to break into his residence and steal the bronze mace. Only those who are close and familiar can make it possible!For example... disciples who take care of daily necessities? "

Having said this, it is impossible for Yu Chen not to understand what Xie Qing meant.

He nodded and asked concisely: "Who?"

"That disciple is the current chief arrester of Weishui—Xiao Zihua!"
