Chapter 97 Ghost Cave Murder Case
Jiangning Prefecture, Guangde County, Laiyan Town.
The name of Yan Town is derived from the great poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty, "The swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall in the old days flew into the homes of ordinary people."
The town is famous for it, attracting countless tourists and poets to visit, and also makes this ordinary water town prosperous.
As the sky was dawn, Laiyan Town was shrouded in a layer of mist. A servant rushed into Liu's house in an anxious look, shouting, "Go and report to Captain Liu, a big case has come out!"
The old family members of the Guanmen saw that he was sweating profusely and did not dare to neglect him, so they hurried into the inner hall to report.
The officer was strolling back and forth in the yard anxiously. Even though the cold weather was blowing, his vest could not help but burst into layers of fine cold sweat.
After a while, a short and fat man walked out in a public uniform while cursing: "Why are you quarreling? Why are you clamoring? It disturbs Qingmeng early in the morning. Zhang Xiaoliu, if you don't say anything, don't blame me for beating you hard!"
The officer Zhang Xiaoliu stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Boss Liu, Liu Touer! You can beat the young man anytime. It's really a big case. Now even the magistrate has rushed over, so it's impossible to delay!"
"Oh! What big case?"
With the help of his hometown, Captain Liu quickly put on his public uniform. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoliu was speaking solemnly, his face was also very solemn.
Captain Liu is named Liu Feifeng. He has been a local tyrant in Laiyan Town for nearly twenty years. He is a local tyrant. Guangde County has changed several magistrates, but he still remains motionless.
According to Liu Feifeng's private bragging, he was originally a famous detective of the Six Gates of the Capital. People in the Jianghu gave the nickname "Qianli Feiyan" and came here to work as a servant in Yan Town. It was a small temple that faced the Buddha.
Liu Feifeng is already in her forties, but he is born white and fat, and looks pretty young.
"It's dead!"
Zhang Xiaoliu's lips were trembling, and his face turned blue, whether it was because of nervousness or fear: "Someone found a corpse on the ghost cave, at least... at least ten people died!"
"What?"
Liu Feifeng exclaimed in surprise.
His scalp exploded suddenly, and the last trace of sleepiness disappeared.
Laiyan Town has been safe for many years, and there have been few incidents of injury and fighting, let alone death cases.
What's more, more than ten people died at once. This was a big case on the 23rd road of the Song Dynasty.
"Damn it!" Liu Feifeng cursed and said loudly: "Hurry, lead the way."
Half an hour later, Liu Feifeng rushed into the mountains and forests, and arrived at the very famous "ghost cave" in the local area.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, but the ghost cave was still quite dark, so more than a dozen torches were lit, making every corner of the cave bright.
In the cave were more than twenty officials and a middle-aged man in an official uniform with a long beard under his chin.
This person is Jie Chengye, the magistrate of Guangde. His face is now blue and purple, his body is trembling, and he looks shaking.
He had just arrived in Ren Guangde for three months, and such a horrific murder case occurred under his rule. How could Jie Chengye not be extremely shocked?
In front of Jie Chengye, a man in sackcloth was lying on his back, trembling all over and did not dare to look up.
Not to mention this man in Ma, who is not afraid of being present, including the magistrate Jie Chengye and more than 20 officials?
Even though there were bright torches around me and the flames were emitting hotly, everyone seemed to be unable to feel the slightest warmth, and their spine became cold.
It seemed as if in the ghost cave, there were really fierce ghosts wandering around, hiding in the dark, staring at them with malicious eyes.
Everything is because in the center of the cave, there is a sacrifice table, surrounded by scattered talisman paper and unburned paper money.
The most terrifying thing is that there are more than a dozen people lined up under the sacrificial table, with men and women kneeling on the ground, their heads lowered, and their bodies covered in blood, and they had already disappeared.
But under the swaying fire, their faces were blue and swollen, and they seemed to be changing rapidly, looking extremely strange and ferocious.
"Sir, there are no ghosts in this cave, right? Why don't we go out and wait first."
An official looked around and felt uncomfortable all over.
"Absurd! There are no ghosts in this world?" Jie Chengye shouted fiercely.
Although he was also afraid in his heart, he was even more worried about his future.
"Catcher Liu..."
Jie Chengye was about to ask, but suddenly he heard an official at the entrance of the cave shouting: "Captain Liu is here."
Jie Chengye looked at the entrance of the cave when he heard this. He saw Liu Feifeng strode into the sky, approaching him, bowing and saying, "Sir, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Jie Chengye waved his hand, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "I have just arrived, Captain Liu. The nature of this case is extremely bad. The murderer is so guilty. I'll ask Captain Liu for everything."
"Subordinates should do their best to help them solve their problems."
Liu Feifeng answered in a deep voice, looked around again, and when she saw more than a dozen people kneeling at the sacrificial table, her pupils couldn't help but shrink, she took a deep breath and said, "Who discovered that someone died here first?"
"It's the old man!"
The man in Mai was lying on the ground and said in a muffled voice.
"It's you? Who are you? Stand up and talk." Liu Feifeng stared at the man in mai.
"Thank you!"
The man in Mai stood up tremblingly, revealing a thin old face, and said, "The little old man is called Wushan. He is the herb collector in the town. He went into the mountain to collect herbs before dawn this morning. He accidentally saw a fire in the cave, as if... there was also the crying of a female ghost..."
Liu Feifeng interrupted, "This is a well-known ghost cave. Ordinary people avoid it. Since you heard the crying of the 'female ghost', why did you still walk in?"
The man in Mai said with a bitter face: "The little old man was afraid at first, but there is a herb that only exists in this hole. Moreover, it is not the first time that the little old man has come in. He has never encountered anything before. How could he think of... as soon as he comes in, he saw so many dead people."
Liu Feifeng pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Where did the rumors of ghost caves come out first? Humph! Mr. Liu has been a gangster in Yan Town for more than ten years. At first, he had never heard of any ghost cave. Now I think it's someone who deliberately made a ghost."
An official replied: "Catcher Liu, this cave has been said to be a ghost cave, which has happened in the past two years. It is said that many people have seen female ghosts appear and heard female ghosts crying. Therefore, in the past or two years, many people in the town will burn some dark money and talisman paper to sacrifice to the female ghosts in order to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters."
The official stalker wandered for a moment and said, "I also heard that the female ghost in this cave was a famous acrobatic team in the country and the country. Master Yuli, the headmaster of "Happy Yue", turned into a ghost because he was wronged."
"Liu has seen so many tricks of pretending to be a ghost."
