Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 7 The Truth Comes Out
"How is it? Did I miss anything?" Li Canghai turned around and smiled at the stunned little carpenter.

"You... how could you?" The little carpenter said in disbelief.

"How could it be possible to succeed in one go? You have practiced here many times, otherwise you wouldn't have left such obvious marks on the wall. This is called 'Skynet is very sparse but not leaking'." Li Canghai said lightly. .

The little carpenter stared blankly at the door bolt. From pulling the door bolt into the bolt hole to retracting the ink thread, it took less than half a cup of tea, but it took him half a stick of incense to successfully untie the door bolt. The knot, which is the result of more than ten times he has connected it.

How could he know that Li Canghai was an elite in the police academy in his previous life, he had learned the escape technique, and he knew all kinds of knots like the back of his hand, which did not constitute any difficulty for him at all.

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said deeply: "From the moment you drank Huanglian bitter tea, I knew that you were hiding something very deep. Although you were very nervous and scared at the time, I could tell you at a glance. It's just pretending. People who are really nervous don't care too much about the taste, but you can taste the bitterness, which shows that your heart is far superior to others."

"This is the information about the suspicious person that Mr. Di found based on the characteristics I provided. I think this piece of information should be familiar to you, right?" Li Canghai took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, which recorded The little carpenter's life, the little carpenter's face became even uglier.

"Now, let's talk about the motive for the murder." Li Canghai said lightly.

"Your family fled here. When you were young, your parents died early and became an orphan. You were often bullied or insulted by your peers, which filled your heart with resentment. Fortunately, there are people who care about you. I love you and love you like a younger brother. You play together, laugh together, and even jokingly make a private decision for life, that person is Miss Jing, you love her very much, don’t you?"

The little carpenter was stunned, he bit his lip, clenched his hands, his body trembled a little.

"Brother Li, didn't you say that the murderer killed because of hatred? If he really loved the deceased, why would he kill her?" Di Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Canghai stared at the little carpenter intently, and said deeply: "Love gives birth to hatred. Because the deceased grew up with him, his feelings for the deceased have far surpassed the feelings between siblings, but deep love He kept his lifelong oath privately and believed that the deceased would marry him, but he never thought that the deceased would fall in love with someone else, which aroused the desire for revenge that had been buried in his heart for a long time, so he killed him with such cruel means. deceased."

"How do you know that they have privately decided to live forever?" Huang Mang asked sullenly.

Li Canghai suddenly grabbed the little carpenter's left hand, rolled down his sleeve, and said, "Because both his left hand and the deceased's left hand have a coil printed with ink string. If I guess correctly, this should be theirs. oath."

"So you discovered this a long time ago." The little carpenter suddenly smiled wryly. He touched the coil on his right wrist and said pitifully, "This is when Jing'er came to comfort me when I was eight years old. They stamp each other. She said that she will take care of me for the rest of my life and won't let people bully me again. "

A fierce light flashed in his eyes suddenly, and he roared in a low voice: "That's right, I killed her, she betrayed me first, she abandoned me! What I can't get, no one else can get it!"

Li Canghai didn't expect him to be so stubborn, raised his sword eyebrows, and suddenly gave the little carpenter a resounding slap.

The palm came so suddenly that everyone was stunned.

"You can still say these things now. Are you still human? Do you know what Jing'er prayed for when she came to the mountain temple? I didn't understand it at the time, but now I know. She prayed for the mountain god to bless you Ping An, bless you with happiness! Before she got married, she was still thinking about caring about you, but you did something so unbearable! I really feel worthless for Miss Jinger!"

Li Canghai punched him hard in the abdomen, and cursed at him furiously.

"No, it's impossible, she's praying for glory and wealth, how could she think of me?" The little carpenter spat out blood and smiled bitterly.

"Look what this is!"

Li Canghai's chest heaved and he wished he could kill this lunatic with one blow.

But he held back, took a small wooden figure from the altar and threw it to the carpenter, angrily said: "Do you know this?"

The little carpenter took the wooden figure in his hand and was stunned.

Li Canghai flicked his sleeves, snorted and said, "This is the wooden figure you gave to Jing'er, isn't it? Look at what is written on it?"

The little carpenter turned the wooden figure over, and suddenly saw a line of small characters engraved on the wooden figure: May the mountain god bless the little carpenter, be safe and happy.

"Jing'er is illiterate, but she has never forgotten you. Before she put on her wedding dress, she found a literate person in the village and asked someone to write these, and then she carved them on the wooden figurine stroke by stroke. Come on. Before she got married, she was praying for you, but you did such a crazy beast!"

The little carpenter stared blankly at the wooden figure in his hand, and was stunned for a moment.

After a while, he was suddenly paralyzed to the ground, crying out in frustration.It looks like it's on the verge of collapse.

Li Canghai sighed, without any excitement in his heart.

Although he successfully solved the case and cleared himself of the crime, the whole case made him feel a little heavy.

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear.

Because of love and hatred, the little carpenter did such a cruel thing, I'm afraid even he himself did not expect it.

All relationships in the world are nothing but good and evil, which makes Li Canghai more firm in his belief that he will fight to the end against the factors that destroy good things.

The murderer was punished, and the follow-up matter was carried out by the Yamen. Li Canghai was also happy to relax, lying on the grass and fell asleep.

He hasn't had much rest in the past two days, and has slept until dusk.

Li Canghai stretched, and suddenly found Di Feng sitting in front of him, looking straight at him.

Seeing him waking up, Di Feng happily said: "My lord, my lord is going to host a banquet for you, come with me!"

Before Li Canghai could react, he was directly dragged up by Di Feng, and then jumped into a carriage and left Xiaoyang Village.

Along the way, Di Feng chattered non-stop. It turned out that after the little carpenter obeyed the law, he confessed to a dark room in his room.

The yamen servant found a broad-backed machete and the head of the deceased in the dark room, and thus the "headless female corpse case" was completely over.

Di Huai was busy closing the case, so he escorted the murderer back to Jinshui County first, leaving Di Feng to lead him the way.

There was also a small episode during this period, Huang Mang wanted to bring the murderer back to deal with, but Di Huai insisted on refusing to pay the murderer on the grounds of the law, and the two parties finally broke up.

Li Canghai didn't have a good impression of Huang Mang at first, but thinking about it, he would not have any interaction with him in the future, and he didn't bother to recall the face of that reckless man.
