Doctor entering the police gate

Chapter 15 Red Maple Ghost

"It's a female ghost named 'Togakure Hongye'." Huizi explained, "It is said that there was a couple living in Aizuwakamatsu, Oshu, who had no children for many years. Anxiously, they prayed to the Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, and soon after She really gave birth to a beautiful girl named Wu Ye. After a few years, Wu Ye grew up to be a rare beauty with both talent and color, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In order to avoid the pursuit of many nobles, Wu Ye Went to the capital with her parents, and changed her name to Hongye. Hongye captured the heart of the royal family Yuan Jingji with her beauty and piano skills, became Yuan Jingji's concubine, was quite doted on and conceived his child, at the same time, Jingji's wife is seriously ill."

"Could it be..." Li Hong reacted quickly.

"Yes." Keiko nodded slightly, "That's because of the sorcery performed by Hongye. Hongye is the daughter born of praying to the Demon King, and she is a banshee. Hongye's conspiracy was finally discovered by a monk, and the angry royal family ordered Drived Hongye to Huyin Mountain for exile. The exiled Hongye was dissatisfied and assembled people to rebel against the imperial court. Finally, the general sent by the imperial court chopped off her head, and her soul was sealed in Huyin Mountain. Some people said that there was Where there are red maple leaves, there is the soul of red leaves, because the red color of maple leaves is dyed by the blood of red leaves."

Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't quite understand the story, but they both frowned.

"Such a terrible case happened here, and I couldn't help but think of the story my mother told me." Huizi showed a sad face, "When I was young, I always chased my mother and asked, 'Why did Hongye do such a thing? What about it?' After all, Hongye is obviously an excellent woman..."

Are the red leaves really dyed with the blood of the maple ghost?

No, of course not.Yang Wenbin laughed at himself in his heart.

If it was dyed red by something, it must be the blood of the murdered woman and the crime of the murderer.

"It's the Maple Ghost, of course it's the Maple Ghost!" A lazy shout suddenly came from not far away.Several people looked over and found a man lying under the maple tree not far away, and they didn't know how long he had been lying there.He was wearing a baggy T-shirt and big shorts casually. His clothes seemed to be rolling in the mud, and he was dirty from top to bottom.His short light blond hair was also battered and messed up.

"Who is he?" Li Hong asked in a low voice.

Huizi shook his head and frowned, "I don't know, I've been wandering here for the past few days, are you a beggar?"

"Hey! I can hear the woman over there!" A voice came from under the maple tree, "Then what... I'm not a beggar, I'm a cat hunter!"

Several people looked at each other in surprise.Although the man's distance from here is not far, it is definitely not close. How did he hear Miss Huizi's voice from such a far away place?
"But I can't find it, it's so troublesome, if I find it, I can go home!" The strange man stood up from the ground, patted the dust and leaves on his body, and walked towards this side lazily yawning. , "But dead people are really interesting, isn't it Feng Gui? Right? It's called Feng Gui, right?"

No idea who the hell he was talking to.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It should be... um, um, that's the only way to go." The man put on a thoughtful look, and suddenly pointed to the pile of maple leaves and said, "Maple ghost! It's the murderer! That's right!"

Yan Junli couldn't stand it any longer, walked up and said sharply: "This is the scene of the crime, please don't make trouble for irrelevant people!"

But the man widened his eyes, "I'm not an irrelevant person! That... how do you say that word, let me think about it... Oh, yes, I am a witness! No, no, I also Didn't see it, it should be an 'ear-slapping witness'! I'm an ear-slapping witness!"

Yang Wenbin frowned, what's wrong with this man.

"Were you at the scene that night?" Li Hong couldn't help asking.

"No." The man replied firmly.

Li Hong was choked up, "Then why—"

"I heard it." The man folded his arms solemnly and said, "That night there was a woman crying. Right here, I heard a woman crying. Weeping softly, and whimpering The sound, floating in the night air, has been crying for a long time. Aren’t you guys talking about that... that, the story of the Red Leaf Ghost? That must be her! The Red Leaf Ghost is a murderer, close the case!"

Although no one paid attention to this person, he seemed to be very happy alone, clapped his hands, and left on his own.

"Hey, wait a minute—" Yang Wenbin couldn't stop this strange person even when he spoke.

"What a strange person." Li Hong muttered to himself, "Can this be used as a testimony?"

Yan Junli shook his head, not knowing whether he meant "don't know" or "can't".

"Then, if there is nothing else, I'll go back first." Huizi said at this moment, bowing to the three of them.

When Yan Junli was about to nod, he was interrupted by Yang Wenbin, "Wait a minute, Miss Huizi. Can I ask you a question? Does Miss Huizi know about a murder case that happened here 20 years ago?"

Huizi froze for a moment, his whole body tensed up, and said hastily after a few seconds, "No, I don't know. Then, I'm leaving."

Huizi took a quick step, her legs under the kimono were white and slender, and the clogs made a crisp sound when they were knocked on the pebbles.

"Miss Huizi is really a great beauty, isn't she right Captain Yan?" Li Hong sighed.

"Unfortunately, she is a liar." Yang Wenbin said coldly, "She must be lying when she said she didn't know."

"Could it be that you are prejudiced against beautiful women, Dr. Yang?" Yan Junli smiled unscrupulously.

Yang Wenbin turned his head and was about to refute him, but swallowed his words, because he found that blood was oozing from the shoulders of Yan Junli's clothes.

"What's the matter with your shoulder, didn't I tell you not to mess around?"

"Huh?" Yan Junli was taken aback, "I don't know, I'm not messed up—"

"Okay, let's go back to the hospital. Let's talk about the next thing." Yang Wenbin looked at Li Hong again, "Are you going back with us, or—"

Li Hong thought for a while, then waved his hands and said: "No, you guys go back first, I came here after a long time, I want to go around and have a couple of cups of tea with Miss Huizi or something."

Yang Wenbin didn't say anything else, nodded, and dragged Yan Junli into the taxi.
