Chapter 36 The Headless Evil Ghost and the Doll (Two in One, Please Recommend and Vote!)

Although, Lin Yi, the Linshui Street policeman, felt that the three brothers of the Ji family deserved death, and he was even prepared to use lynching.

But now that a murder case has occurred in broad daylight, he will definitely not be able to applaud it.

After an investigation at Zhang San'er's house, a group of officials, officers and soldiers moved the bodies of the three brothers of the Ji family back to the arresting room.

And since this case happened on Linshui Street, it stands to reason that it should also fall into Lin Yi's hands.

But faced with the assignment from the county magistrate, Lin Yi seemed a little reluctant. He bluntly said that he was in a low position and was not capable enough to handle such a cruel murder, so it would be more appropriate to hand it over to the chief police officer.

But it doesn't matter if you don't mention it. If you mention it, it will involve a big thing.

The county magistrate patted his belly and told Lin Yi about Xiao Zihua's dismissal from office for investigation.

Immediately, all the officials outside Zhang Saner's house changed their expressions.

The dignified chief arrester of Weishui was dismissed from his post without any warning. It was impossible for the county magistrate to say this lightly.

Lin Yi had no choice but to take the case.

Following the others, he passed through the crowd of spectators and returned to the arresting room.

At the same time, Qinghong, who had rested in Huaqing Building for a long time, also recovered and was summoned to the arresting room.

Previously, she was brought back to the house by the three brothers of the Ji family. Naturally, she was the first witness. She should know what exactly happened in the Ji family house last night.

Qinghong didn't hide anything, and told exactly what happened last night.

As a result, Lin Yi and the arresters knew what kind of guy it was that took away and killed the three brothers of the Ji family.

——A man wearing black clothes and a mask on his face, with a hoarse voice and strong martial arts.

As for the rest, there is no further information.

Half an hour later, Qinghong returned, and the autopsy results of the three brothers of the Ji family came out.

First of all, the three of them had multiple fractures and muscle contusions. It seemed that they had suffered inhuman torture before their death.

In addition, what is even more frightening is that the heads of the three brothers of the Ji family were not cut off by any sharp blade, but by some huge force.

When they heard this, Lin Yi and all the officials took a deep breath.

Heartbroken.

As police officers, they had dealt with some murder cases, but this was the first time they had directly ripped off someone's head.

This shows the terrifying psychological quality of the ghost-faced man.

He was busy until late at night, but nothing was revealed. Lin Yi sighed tiredly, put away the case information and files, ended the day's affairs, and returned to Li Muju.

But as soon as he opened the door, there was a tall figure waiting for him in the dark corner of the room.

Lin Yi was startled at first, but when he looked carefully, his expression suddenly changed, and he knelt down and said in a respectful voice: "Teacher, why are you here?"

The tall figure turned his head, and the dim yellow oil lamp reflected his face - slovenly, with messy hair and a rough face.

If Yu Chen were here, he would definitely recognize him immediately. Isn't this the corpse mover who works with corpses all day long?

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's come and see you." The corpse mover slapped his head and asked bluntly, "You went out last night. What were you going to do at Ji's house?"

Lin Yi was stunned, and his whole body suddenly stiffened.

"If we guessed correctly, you want to kill them?"

The corpse mover sat down and asked: "Have you ever thought about it, once you take action, no matter whether they are the murderers of Zhang San'er or not, your life will be over.

If someone hadn't taken a step ahead of you and done what you wanted to do, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you here today, but in prison. "

Lin Yi lowered his head.

Suddenly, his heart was shaken, and a terrible guess sprouted in his mind.

Did the teacher know that he went out alone last night?

Could it be that he dealt with the three brothers of the Ji family before he took action?

Could it be that the grim-faced man who tore off the heads of the three brothers of the Ji family was his teacher? !

"Don't look at us like that."

As if he guessed what he was thinking, the corpse mover hit Lin Yi on the head violently, "The reason why we know you went out yesterday is because we heard that you were tricked by Xiao Zihua, and we were worried that you would do something stupid. That’s why I followed you all the way out.”

After a pause, the corpse mover took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yi,

"Although the three brothers of the Ji family deserve to die, if we were to take action, we wouldn't do it with such a big fanfare.

Didn't you notice? Whether it was the broken traces of the Ji family's door, the fact that the three strong men were subdued without any resistance, and the power to directly twist off an adult's head, it was enough to show that the murderer possessed a force that far exceeded theirs.

Under such circumstances, he could have killed these three scum in a more secretive and airtight manner - even if he wanted to, the Yamen would not be able to find their bodies at all.

But that guy didn't do that. He took the three brothers of the Ji family to Zhang Saner's house and asked them to kneel in front of the former victim and hold their own heads in their hands to apologize.

This kind of behavior is not a simple murder, nor is it a simple venting of anger, but has a deeper meaning. "

Lin Yi didn't understand, scratched his head and asked, "What's the meaning?"

"Punishment." The corpse mover took a deep breath: "——That guy is punishing those three scum, doing what the Yamen failed to do on behalf of the Yamen."

After a pause, the corpse mover grinned, showing an expression he had never shown before, like a blood-thirsty beast,

"Although I don't quite agree with this kind of lynching now, I have to say that the guy's method is full of... beauty.

Just like the scene of the newlyweds lifting the veil on their wedding night, the perpetrator kneels in front of the victim, holding his own head and crying and repenting... Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, it is full of ritual sense and beauty..."

After hearing this, Lin Yi shuddered all over and muttered: "Sure enough...only perverts can understand perverts..."

He will never forget what kind of terrible butcher this teacher who taught him martial arts was before he was recruited by the county magistrate and Yu Tiebo.

Snap!

Another slap.

The corpse mover slapped Lin Yi on the forehead and cursed: "What are you mumbling about? Brat! We are here today for no other reason than to tell you that you are not handling the case of the ghost-faced man. If you find anything, don't act alone."

At this point, the corpse mover's face became serious, and he said word by word, "——That guy is not someone you can handle."

Feeling the concern in his words, Lin Yi's heart warmed and he nodded heavily.

"By the way, don't think about Xiao Zihua's matter."

The corpse mover patted his head: "Whether that guy is corrupt or partial, he dares to get involved with the scum of the Black Water Gang. There will be no place for him in Weishui in the future."

After that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

Before leaving, Lin Yi seemed to hear him mumbling.

"Tsk, the end of the year is approaching, and the state patrol is not far away. Now a ghost-faced man of unknown origin suddenly appears... Troubled times, troubled times!"

Bang.

The door closed, and there was no sound.

Only Lin Yi was left standing in the room. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and looked out the window at the dark night.

He seemed to see the wronged souls of the Zhang couple, leaving hand in hand in the vast night.

He could rest in peace.

No words were spoken all night.

But there is no doubt that the seemingly peaceful Weishui County is not peaceful at all.

Whether it is the tragic death of the three brothers of the Ji family or the dismissal of Weishui Chief Constable Xiao Zihua, for people of every class in Weishui County, there is always something that makes them feel shocked.

And for the people, the former is naturally big news.

Although it is reasonable that such a tragic case should be kept secret by the government.

But the person who found the bodies of the three brothers of the Ji family was originally a vegetable farmer who lived in the market, and the only eyewitness Qinghong was a prostitute.

Neither of them was someone who could keep a secret.

In addition, there were also a few people in the police station who were not tight-lipped. Once they drank and got drunk, they started to blow.

This bizarre and strange case of beheading became the best topic of conversation.

So, in just one day, the tragic death of the three brothers of the Ji family and the dark masked man who looked like a ghost had spread all over the streets and alleys.

"Let me tell you! My second uncle in the police station got the first-hand information that the heads of the three bullies of the Ji family were not cut off, but twisted off by someone!"

"It is said that when the bodies of the three brothers of the Ji family were found, the portrait of Zhang was laughing! What? Scare you? The first person who found the bodies was the son of my father's brother-in-law's uncle!"

"I heard from my father's old lover in Huaqing Tower that a courtesan there saw the ghost-faced man with her own eyes and said that he had three heads, six hands, and his whole body was covered in thick black smoke. It was terrible!"

"..."

The whole Weishui City, streets and alleys, were discussing the case of the three brothers of the Ji family and the mysterious man mentioned by Qinghong in Huaqing Tower.

Finally, all the news was attributed to the storyteller, and several stories were made up to tell the audience.

"Let's talk about the three bullies of the Ji family who were arrogant and arrogant. They were tempted by beauty and forcibly defiled Zhang from Hanqiao Tea Shop. Not only that, they also turned the tables and made Zhang, who was strong-willed, hang herself to death! It was a heinous crime!"

"It's a pity that the three bullies had some connections. Not only were they not convicted of adultery, but they also spoke rudely in Zhang's mourning hall. They were simply inhuman!"

"Although Zhang San'er had a very good temper and was honest, how could he tolerate such an insult? He immediately fought with the three people!"

"But two fists can't beat four hands. How could the honest Zhang San'er be the opponent of these three ruffians? He was beaten to death and thrown into the Wei River. It was really miserable!"

"But even so, I don't know what kind of relationship they found in the government office, and He was only detained for one day, and then he was released, swaggering around, which made people hate and fear him! "

"Then, guess what happened?"

"Hey! God is watching what he does. If the government can't handle it, someone else can!"

"The night before, the three scum bullies called the prostitute home in Huaqing Building, but they didn't realize that retribution had come!"

"On a dark night with a strong wind, the head-removing ghosts wearing black clothes and wearing ghost masks broke into the door, and took the three bullies to Zhang's mourning hall like little chickens, forcing them to kneel in front of the poor Zhang's portrait, remove their heads, and write words of repentance in blood."

"——The three of us deserve to die!"

"Pah!"

After speaking, the wake-up stick was slapped, which was breathtaking!

As soon as this bizarre and strange plot came out, it immediately became popular, and many people who didn't pay attention to the case of the three brothers of the Ji family also heard about it.

Over time, the name "head-cutting ghost" spread in Weishui and became one of the mysterious legends of this poor town.

Only a small number of people were worried after hearing this story.

——Those who have seen Yu Chen's ghost face.

For example, Xie Qing and a group of Jianghu people from the Zhengqing Gang in the south of the city, when they heard the storyteller describe the appearance of the headless ghost, they immediately realized that this was the senior who killed the big insect?

Immediately, Xie Qing gathered all the Jianghu people who participated in the crusade against the big insect and ordered them to seal their mouths and not to leak a single word!

In addition, there was Li Er who slaughtered pigs at the Hanqiao market.

Although he did not have the hobby of listening to storytelling, there were so many people in the market, and they came and went, and naturally described the general outline of the whole case.

Immediately, Li Er, who had already "become a good man", was so scared that he trembled like a sieve, his face was pale, and he almost wet his pants!

——Black clothes and black face, ghost face mask? Isn't this the masked man who asked for money for Old Lady Sun before?

Chills on the spine, a moment of fear!

From then on, he was more humble and polite to everyone, and dared not to make the same mistake again!

He, Li Er, didn't want his head to be twisted off by the head-removing ghost!

These two days, the whole Weishui was in an uproar because of the case of the three brothers of the Ji family.

But Yu Chen, the instigator of everything, lived a peaceful life in Qingfeng Mausoleum.

If it weren't for the corpse mover who brought Zhang's corpse up to bury it with Zhang San'er this morning and told him that the city was in an uproar, Yu Chen probably didn't know that what he did that night had spread throughout Weishui, and he didn't know that he got the name of "head-removing ghost".

He thought very simply.

Killing someone and paying with his life is natural and right, this is right.

Anyone must bear the consequences for what he did.

Since the three brothers of the Ji family did something wrong, they must pay the price.

Probably because this grave-keeper was used to seeing all kinds of strange corpses, so after taking a person's life for the first time, Yu Chen didn't feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, his thoughts were clear and he felt refreshed.

In the afternoon, after the corpse movers left, Yu Chen went to burn incense on the graves of Zhang and his wife.

He stared at the tombstone for a long time.

But he was a little confused.

—— Logically speaking, Zhang, who hanged herself after being insulted in every way, should have a deeper grudge and a more unrepentant reason than Zhang Saner.

But when the three brothers of the Ji family were brought to Zhang's mourning hall that night, they did not see her ghost or her last wish.

Why is this?

Could it be that only the deceased who had just died can form a last wish in the Sutra of Deliverance?

After all, the last wishes he fulfilled these days seemed to have been completed by each deceased person who had died not long ago.

Yu Chen was puzzled.

But he could only guess, and the specific details remained to be verified.

When the incense and candles burned out, it was already dusk. Yu Chen returned to the earth house, had dinner, and took out a three-inch-tall straw doll from his arms.

——After returning to Qingfeng Mausoleum the night after killing the three brothers of the Ji family, Zhang Saner's eighth-grade ordinary wish was fulfilled, and the benefit given by the Sutra of Deliverance.

It is called a body-supporting doll.

When Yu Chen saw this rough and simple straw doll, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was the benefit of the eighth-grade ordinary wish, why was there only a scarecrow that looked tattered?

It was not until he learned about the so-called body-supporting doll from the Sutra of Deliverance that he took a breath of cold air!

This is not a prop for attacking, but a thing to save lives.

—— If you drip blood on this doll, the doll can bear a fatal injury for the person who dripped blood!

Whether it is being torn apart by five horses or having one's head fall to the ground, although it is only once, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be borne by this body-supporting doll!

If it is used well, it is equivalent to having an extra life!

After realizing it, Yu Chen carefully put away the straw doll, and was very satisfied.
