Chapter 845 Hou Zhen's Little Secret
Seeing Ouyang Shuangjie come in, Yin Chengji got up from the rattan chair and took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Ouyang, are you here?"

Ouyang Shuangjie smiled slightly: "Professor Yin, this is my colleague, Wang Xiaohu." He introduced Yin Chengji.

Yin Chengji glanced at Wang Xiaohu: "We've met before, he and you have been to my house."

Wang Xiaohu smiled and nodded, "Old Yin has a good memory."

Only then did Ouyang Shuangjie think of it, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yin Chengji invited them to sit down: "Old man, this memory is not as good as before."

The teacher's wife brought them tea and left the study.

Ouyang Shuangjie said: "Professor Yin called me here in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"

Yin Chengji said "hmm", "I heard that you went to see Hou Zhen?"

Ouyang Shuangjie was stunned for a moment: "Well, we are also investigating the case of Mr. Hou's son's death, what's the matter?"

Yin Chengji sighed: "I thought of something, and I don't know if it will help you, but I really don't know if I should say it."

Wang Xiaohu said: "Old Yin, just say what you have to say, don't worry, as for whether what you said is right or wrong, we will investigate first." Yin Chengji nodded slightly: "That's right, didn't you come here to ask Do you have a legend about me? It’s the one who eats people and lives forever.”

Ouyang Shuangjie and Wang Xiaohu nodded together, and Yin Chengji said: "I am engaged in folklore research. Of course, I also have something to do with Zhouyi and forecasting, but when it comes to the orthodox study of Taoism, Hou Zhen is more important than me. Strong, he knows much more than me. It’s just that he is very low-key and rarely publishes anything academic. Besides, he doesn’t seem to like talking about this kind of topic with others. I've known him since the early years, and I know his temper very well. It's just that I didn't expect that he would let his son do this job. I remember that he used to look down on people who used it as a means of livelihood."

It has to be said that Yin Chengji's words shocked Ouyang Shuangjie and Wang Xiaohu. Ouyang Shuangjie originally thought that Hou Zhen was an ordinary Chinese teacher, but he never thought that he had such a background.

But in the process of contacting him, he never mentioned it. He even sent a message that he didn't understand what Hou Xiaosong did.I really don't understand?It seems that Hou Xiaosong is simply a family tradition.

"I didn't think about this before. The matter you asked me, go ask him and maybe he can give you the answer. But he just died of his son, alas, he may not have the intention to deal with you. This man, at last There is nothing more sad than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person."

When Yin Chengji said this, he picked up his teacup and took a sip: "If I hadn't heard that you approached Hou Zhen, I really wouldn't have thought of it. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Ouyang Shuangjie said: "Professor Yin, how do you know that I went to see Hou Zhen?"

Yin Chengji replied: "When you and Hou Zhen were talking on the street that day, I happened to be passing by in a car. I thought you already knew that Hou Zhen had this ability. Later, when I saw the report of his son's death, I thought of him at that time. The look on my face when I was talking to you shouldn’t be like that, so I wondered if I should tell you, but then I actually forgot about it again. "

Leaving Yin Chengji's home, Wang Xiaohu asked Ouyang Shuangjie: "Ouyang, why did Hou Zhen deliberately hide this matter from the police?" Puzzling, since he is engaged in this research, but he doesn’t want too many people to know that Taoist research is not something shady. From this point of view, what he did is really strange, especially Hou Xiaosong’s death. He took the initiative to mention the matter of 'Chen Daguan' to me, but he acted like a person who didn't understand anything, and didn't make any comments on this matter."

When Ouyang Shuangjie said this, he was silent for a while: "By the way, Xiaohu, you can help me find out one thing. Where was Hou Zhen when Hou Xiaosong died."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes widened: "You don't suspect that he killed his own son, do you?"

Ouyang Shuangjie smiled wryly: "What if I say I doubt it?"

"Why?" Wang Xiaohu asked.

Ouyang Shuangjie sighed: "Hou Xiaosong is an adult, and he also has the ability to act independently. I haven't been able to give a good explanation to my question when he called Hou Zhen that night."

"But hasn't Hou Zhen already explained it?" Wang Xiaohu said.

Ouyang Shuangjie said lightly: "His explanation sounds like that at first, but when you think about it carefully, the things he said about Hou Xiaosong's 'encounters' with that 'Chen Daguan' several times are too bizarre and weird. At least for me, the story he told lacks any kind of credibility at all, and now combined with what Professor Yin said, isn’t his explanation too thin, and he should be able to say more things?”

Wang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, it really made sense.

"So you suspect that he is just making up a story. He knows that we have been stuck in the legend of 'Chen Daguan', so he deliberately took advantage of our curiosity and made up such a story. The purpose is to mislead us. Leading our detection to a misunderstanding."

Ouyang Shuangjie laughed, but Wang Xiaohu reacted very quickly this time.

"But Ouyang, I still don't believe that a father will attack his own son. Even if he is deliberately misleading, it doesn't mean that he was the one who murdered Hou Xiaosong that night, right?"

Ouyang Shuangjie put away his smile and looked serious: "When we rule out all the impossibilities, the most improbable thing left may be the truth of the case. Therefore, when handling a case, don't use ordinary people's thinking to make judgments." Think about it, to be able to stab Hou Xiaosong's chest at such a close distance, and Hou Xiaosong has no resistance at all, should this person be someone close to Hou Xiaosong, so that he will not be able to defend himself at all?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded, and Ouyang Shuangjie said again: "Let's go back and talk about the call Hou Zhen received. Is it possible that Hou Xiaosong accidentally discovered some secret of Hou Zhen's secret in that call, but he didn't dare to talk about it?" He confirmed that that person was his father, so he made a phone call to verify, and this is the real reason why Hou Zhen made up a lie for that call."

Wang Xiaohu gasped. He wondered if Ouyang Shuangjie thought of human nature too indifferently. Anyway, Hou Xiaosong was Hou Zhen's own son, and a father murdered his own son, and he still used such cruel methods. This is too sensational, right?
