Holy Bone

Chapter 700 He Just Wants To Save People
When Boss Song was inquiring about Jin'an, several special guests came to visit the Song family. It was Wang Donglin, the head catcher, who came to the Song family with a few office servants.

Boss Song frowned, and then asked his servants to bring them over.

"I've seen Boss Song and Mrs. Song, and please feel sorry for Miss Song." The tall and strong Wang Butou greeted and looked at Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

He clasped his fists and said politely: "Presumably these two are the Daoist Master Chen and Daoist Jin'an of the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera mentioned in the market, right? Sure enough, the folk rumors are true. Daoist Chen is a fairy, and Daoist Jin'an is heroic and full of energy. At first glance, he looks like a martial artist." Master, Mr. Wang has long admired the names of the two Taoist priests."

The last sentence is not a polite remark. For a headhunter who lives in the yamen in the south of the city, any major or minor case in the south of the city must be reviewed and signed by several headhunters, and then reported to the county government for reexamination, and then reported to the government office in the government office. Mr. Yin will re-examine, and if it involves a homicide case or a serious case, it will be reported to the Beijing Criminal Prosecution Department for re-examination.

It is precisely because of these procedures that Wang Butou knew about the case of the Tian family for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has admired his name for a long time.

The old Taoist had soft ears, and when he heard someone praise him to his face, he straightened his Taoist robes, coughed dryly, and greeted Wang catcher with fists in a serious manner.

The old Taoist priest has a good appearance, and is usually quite wretched when he is old and unscrupulous, but once he becomes serious, he does have a fairy-tale, ethereal and fairy-like aura.

At this time, the chief housekeeper of the Song family brought Shi Zhiping, the third housekeeper.

The third housekeeper was brought here by Wuhuada, struggling desperately all the way.

"Master, the third housekeeper has been found. When we found him, he looked flustered, as if he was planning to escape from the Song family." The head housekeeper of the Song family truthfully reported the entire arrest process to Song Haichuan.

Before everyone could interrogate Shi Zhiping, the third housekeeper of the Song family beat him up when he saw Song Haichuan, and shouted: "Master, you must make the decision for me. I accidentally slipped and slipped on the mountain, and I lost my life." Dirty clothes, I just wanted to go back to my room and change into clean clothes, but the housekeeper led someone to break into the door, and somehow tied me up!"

"Okay, stop yelling. I'll take care of the housekeeper's affairs. Let me ask you, did you go to the ice cellar to get a lot of ice stones on March [-]st? You can answer after thinking about it. I have Mr. Warehouse here." account book." Song Haichuan held up the account book in his hand, his eyes flickered with a dangerous cold light, and he didn't intend to let anyone loosen it.

The third housekeeper, Shi Zhiping, first stared at the big housekeeper dissatisfied, and then nodded at Song Haichuan: "Returning to the master, there is indeed such a thing."

Song Haichuan: "Do you know that these ice stones are not easy to store, what do you do with these dozens of catties of ice stones at a time? Where did the flow go? Answer truthfully!"

The third housekeeper, Shi Zhiping, suddenly knelt down, bowed his head deeply, and pleaded guilty: "Master, I made my own decision, if you want to punish me, please punish me alone, don't punish Ding Huyuan and the others!"

"I passed by the martial arts field that day, and saw that Ding Huyuan and their bodies were bruised and in unbearable pain during their martial arts practice. At night, they would continue to watch the night to protect the peace of the Song family, so my heart softened, so I went to the ice cellar to get some blackened and discarded ice stones. Send it to Ding Nursing Hospital for them to reduce swelling and blood stasis."

At this time, a heavy-backed nurse stood up and testified for the third housekeeper, Shi Zhiping, that he had indeed brought many ice stones during the day on March [-]st to reduce swelling and blood stasis for these warriors.The brothers were very touched that day, and they were worried that the third housekeeper would be scolded by the master. The third housekeeper said that these ice stones were polluted and dirty, and were no longer suitable for freezing melons, fruits and raw meat. They would have to be discarded sooner or later. It was the discarded ice stones that they dared to use to apply ice to the contusion.

Regardless of what the third steward and Ding Huyuan said, it was recorded in the warehouse account books that the ice stones that the third steward took away that day were indeed polluted discarded ice.

Song Haichuan didn't blame San Steward and Ding Huyuan for this matter, but turned to look at Jin'an: "Daoist Jin'an, do you have any questions?"

Song Haichuan frowned faintly.

Jin An nodded to Song Haichuan, picked up the account book again, and walked to the Ding Huyuan: "According to the registration in the warehouse account book, the ice cubes that the three housekeepers took from the ice cellar that day totaled about [-] catties. Does the Nursing Court know how big a [-]-jin ice cube is? Are you sure that the ice cubes that the third housekeeper gave you to compress your wounds that day weighed about [-] jin?"

"This..." Ding Huyuan replied that the ice cubes brought to them by the third butler that day had been crushed, and there were quite a lot of people applying ice that day, so the exact amount could not be confirmed.

"However, if you think about it now, the ice stones that day should not weigh more than thirty catties..."

Jin An nodded, thanked Ding Huyuan for his answer, and then looked at the third steward Shi Zhiping: "Third steward, can you explain where the remaining ice stones are?"

The third housekeeper of the Song family called out his grievances on the spot: "Ding Huyuan, you have to speak with your conscience. When I saw my brothers were injured, I kindly brought you ice stones to ice them, but you said that I was greedy for those ice stones!"

The third housekeeper looked at Song Haichuan: "Master, I really didn't take any property of the Mo Song family. I really gave all the ice stones that day to Ding Huyuan and the others! Besides, those are dirty ice stones, I brought them It’s useless to store ice stones privately, and it’s not easy to store ice stones. They melt in a day and a half. You have to dig a few feet deep into the ground and seal them with good cotton to keep them warm. I don’t have the conditions to dig ice and store ice what!"

Jin An: "When did I say that the third housekeeper is greedy for ink and ice stones?"

The third housekeeper Shi Zhiping's expression froze, he stopped defending himself, lowered his head and kept kowtowing to call himself wronged, hiding the expression on his face.

"Ordinary people really don't have the conditions to store ice stones. Even if they sell them to restaurants, no one is willing to accept these polluted ice stones. They are afraid that the meat and vegetables will be frozen, but..."

Jin An stared at the third housekeeper who had been lowering his head to hide his expression: "But you can use it to blame others, secretly hide Miss Song and the maid Caixia at the pig butcher Tie Shuan's house, and then use those ice stones to block them." Let the latches fall by themselves, and lay hay on the ice to cover the first fire, to create the perfect chamber to kill!"

As soon as this remark came out, the guests at the funeral banquet were in an uproar. Is there really something else to hide about Song Zhizhi's death?

Jin An looked at the third housekeeper who had been lowering his head, and continued: "Actually, this case is not complicated. The complicated thing is that most southerners have never seen snow and ice stones, and their thinking is limited. It is difficult to kill people in ice stones." Think about it!"

Jin An told the few suspicious points he found in the pig butcher's house one by one, and everyone was amazed. Everyone showed expressions of surprise and astonishment. They never thought that they could create a secret room to kill people like this.

As Jin An said, this case is not complicated. Ice cubes will lose their support when they melt, and a lot of smoke will rise when the dry grass is wet and then burned, which is common sense. However, due to the limited geographical environment, it leads to People's thinking is limited, if Jin'an hadn't woken up, no one would have taken the initiative to think of these things.

"It turns out that using these ordinary life common sense can create a perfect secret room murder."

"It was Daoist Jin'an who observed carefully first, and later thought of killing people in the ice and stone chamber. Daoist Jin'an is not only well-informed, but also has a delicate mind and a flexible mind."

"That's right, Daoist Jin'an is really a man of genius. With so many details and clues in front of me, even if I scratch my head, I will never associate them with the murderer."

The guests present whispered to each other and praised Jin'an.

But among so many people, there are also some unconvinced voices: "You guys are too mythical about that little Taoist priest. It's too early to draw conclusions. So far, it's all the conjecture of Daoist Jin'an, and the third housekeeper hasn't said anything yet." .”

Catcher Wang Donglin closed his eyes and recalled the scene of the fire, then opened his eyes and looked at Jin'an with admiration: "Daoist Jin'an didn't tell lies, there are indeed these suspicious details in the house of the pig butcher who was reduced to ashes by the fire."

Just thinking about it, Wang Butou recalled many details of the scene. To be able to sit in the position of Bubou is not only good at martial arts, but also rich experience in handling cases, excellent memory, and patience.

"I'm ashamed to say it. Although I discovered these details that day, I didn't think too much about it. Daoist Jin'an woke me up today, and it was like enlightenment, which made the thinking of the case clear."

"The method mentioned by Daoist Jin'an can indeed create a perfect secret room murder. It seems that I, Wang, have indeed committed a great injustice case, and let innocent people bear the crime for the real murderer." face ashamed.

In terms of case handling, Catcher Wang has higher prestige than Jin'an, and with Catcher Wang's approval, Shi Zhiping's charges have been confirmed. You monster, don't spout blood here, the Song family treats me well, why should I want to kill Miss Song!"

"For the 3000 taels of ransom!" Jin An's eyes were cold.

"There is a way to steal. People in the green forest only seek money but not life, and do not rob scholars, women, children, and the elderly. Not only have you broken the rules of the green forest, but you are also so cruel and merciless. Ms. Song died, and blamed on innocent people."

The third housekeeper, Shi Zhiping, stared at Jin An's cold gaze, his heart trembled, he was terrified, and subconsciously avoided, not daring to look directly at him.

Although he didn't dare to look directly at Jin An, he was still resisting: "You keep saying that I kidnapped the young lady, set the blame on me and set fire to kill her, you, do you have evidence? Don't just stand here without evidence and spit blood on people! Moreover, Wu Zuo also examined the corpse, the butcher had no external injuries, was knocked unconscious, and was not restrained hands and feet, how could he be obediently waiting to die, let outsiders break into his house, and set up so many traps!"

"Master, you must make the decision for me! The pig butcher, Tie Shuan, often delivers meat to the Song family. He is greedy for the beauty of the lady, and he has planned for a long time to kidnap the lady. And that day, many people saw the pig butcher carrying pigs. The house sent pork and knocked the lady down. It must have been at that time that this guy missed our lady! This kind of country reckless man, born in a humble background, has nothing to do. He kills too many pigs and has a murderous spirit. Killing people is normal for people like them!" The third housekeeper, Shi Zhiping, squeezed out a few cracked eyes, crying and complaining to Song Haichuan.

"Shut up! People like you are worthy of calling Tie Shuan by his name!" Seeing that the other party was still slandering the butcher at this time, Jin An became furious, and interrupted the ugly performance of the third housekeeper with a cold drink.

"You keep saying you want evidence, okay, I'll convince you today!"

"Boss Song, you must have suspected that there is an inner ghost in the Song family, right? Otherwise, Boss Song would not immediately order all the entrances and exits to be sealed off as soon as he returned to the mansion, and no one is allowed to go out."

Jin An didn't come up with evidence right away, but asked Song Haichuan first.

Song Haichuan stared angrily at Shi Zhiping, the third housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground crying and crying for grievances. Thinking of his daughter's tragic death and being burned to death by the fire, his heart ached and he couldn't speak, so he asked the big housekeeper to answer for him.

The housekeeper of the Song family looked coldly at Shi Zhiping, who killed the young lady, and replied: "The day after the young lady disappeared, we saw that we received a blackmail letter from the kidnappers who threw it into the Song family. All the contacts and power. The master said that the young lady has just disappeared for a day, and the target is so big. It is impossible for the kidnappers to take people out of the city so quickly. The kidnappers and the young lady must still be in the city. The old man strongly suspects that the person who kidnapped the young lady is probably from within the Song family The ghost committed the crime, because the Song family is the fastest and most accurate person to know the whereabouts of the lady every day, so the master asked me not to startle the snake, but to secretly investigate everyone in the mansion, including the three housekeepers."

Shi Zhiping, the third housekeeper who knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Song Haichuan, heard this, his shoulders shook violently, and the kowtow paused slightly. Although he quickly covered it up and continued to kowtow, many people present noticed this. detail.

The big housekeeper continued to say: "On the day when I had just investigated the third housekeeper, I had some clues, and found that the lady was missing when she went out to buy rouge, someone saw the third housekeeper appearing near the rouge shop. The government reported this matter to the master, and as a result... Miss had an accident that day and was burned to death by a fire."

Speaking of Miss Song's murder, the butler's eyes were red and his face was sad.

"It seems that the real culprit is very cunning. He found out that he has been suspected, so he is eager to kill people and put the blame on others." Jin An looked stern.

"Boss Wang, I'm trying to deduce what happened that day, and I hope you can give me your advice if I make any mistakes..."

Jin An took a few steps and told the story: "There was a murderer who was wanted by the government. He committed crimes in Beidi. After being wanted by the court, he fled all the way to Jiangnan. But after he fled to Jiangnan, he didn't restrain himself. Quickly focus on the new target, use a false name to infiltrate the Song family, and after gaining the trust of the Song family, plan to kidnap the Song family and demand a huge ransom."

"That day, according to the original plan, the kidnapper successfully kidnapped Miss Song and the accompanying maid, Caixia. What he didn't expect was that Boss Song had been in the business world for many years and was calm when things happened. Ms. Song's whereabouts, and directly suspected that the Song family had an inner ghost. This wanted criminal who had sneaked into the Song family was confused in the face of Boss Song. Whether it's the life experience of the pig butcher, or the scene where the pig butcher knocked Miss Song down, many people know that such a person is the best scapegoat."

"That day, he took advantage of the fact that the pig butcher was out of the stall during the day and was not at home, so he began to secretly transfer Miss Song and the servant girl Caixia to the pig butcher's house, and secretly hid in the pig butcher's house until the pig butcher returned home."

"The pig butcher didn't know that a well-planned conspiracy had been eyeing him. He pushed the door into the house unsuspecting, and was stabbed with an ice needle from the back of his brain and passed out. That's why Wu Zuo There is no reason for the wound on the butcher's body, because the wound is under the scalp and only the size of the eye of a needle. If you don't firmly believe that the butcher is innocent, and carefully search for the skin inch by inch, it is easy to be overlooked by the needle eye wound after the ice needle melts .”

"It's just that the murderer didn't expect that the pig butcher had a strong physique and was not choked to death by the thick smoke he arranged in advance. When the ice needle melted and his body felt the pain of the fire, the pig butcher woke up from the coma and found that the house was on fire. The house was filled with thick smoke, making it difficult to see the direction and the location of the doors and windows. At this moment, he heard a cry for help. He walked towards the direction of the sound through the thick smoke, and found Miss Song and the maid Caixia who were bound hands and feet. "

"He wanted to save people and untie the ropes for the two of them, but the thick smoke in the house suffocated the three of them, and their movements were slow. The three of them missed the best time to escape. The butcher was shot in the back of the head, bleeding profusely. The beams and the collapsed roof buried three people. The three were burned to death in the fire. Because of the childhood shadow, the butcher, who had always wanted to save others, died before he died. He didn't give up on saving people, and kept Miss Song and the maid Caixia in his arms... In fact, the fire that burned his parents to death in his childhood has always been his psychological shadow. , Why was he the only one who survived the fire, so he didn't choose to escape this time, he was still thinking about saving people when he was dying, and tightly protected Miss Song and the maid Caixia, who were burned to pieces by the fire, and their skin was burned to pieces by the fire His clothes were sticking together, and every inch of his scalp was scorched and rotten from the fire. He never thought of running away alone, he just wanted to save people! He wanted to save his parents in that fire! He is not a murderer! He is not a murderer! The lone star of the gods who killed their parents!"

The house was quiet.

Silent.

Everyone was moved by the tragic life experience of the butcher.

At this time, everyone turned their heads to look at the yellow coffin containing the corpse of the butcher, thinking that this man was a man with a tragic fate. He died because of saving others. Not only was he not appreciated by the world, but he was called a murderer instead. Even the corpses were not collected, and they were hastily thrown into the mass graves and became lonely ghosts... Everyone looked unbearable, and some female relatives quietly wiped away tears.

"I know!" Song yelled sadly when she heard her daughter's tragic death, but she couldn't catch her breath, and passed out. The Song family was in a hurry to rescue Song, and Song cried loudly.

Song Haichuan felt that Mrs. Song couldn't bear the blow and fainted again. He called his servants to help Mrs. Song go back to her room to rest.

call!
Jin An raised his head and exhaled the air stagnated in his chest. When he lowered his head again, his face returned to a stern look.

Jin An: "Don't you want evidence, old man, tell me."

The sentimental old Taoist sighed at this time, regretting the unfortunate life of the pig butcher. Hearing Jin'an's words, he turned to the king and said: "Everyone's face is like palm prints. They are unique, and there is no disguise. Being able to hide it from the eyes of a physiognomy master, as an old Taoist, I could tell at the first glance that the face of the third housekeeper of the Song family is not his original face, and Catcher Wang knew it immediately."

"For a person who is proficient in killing people like this and can think of such meticulous details of the crime, my little brother and I guessed that the third steward must not be the first to commit a crime. He must be responsible for several murders. He must be on the most wanted list of the court. Portrait. Wang Butou took him back to the Yamen, and compared with the portrait of the wanted criminal, he was able to find out the true identity of the third steward."

As soon as the old Taoist finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd. The third butler broke the hemp rope, grabbed the courtyard guard's saber with a fierce face, and wanted to run away.

Butcher Wang is about to hunt him down, hey!

A stone flew out of the air, and he hit the back of the third housekeeper first. With a crackling sound, the bone was broken, and the third housekeeper's spine was broken by the stone. He lost his balance and knelt heavily on his knees.

Boom!
The third housekeeper was impartial, kneeling with his knees on the ground in front of the three coffins on the car, his hands on the ground, and his head on the ground, as if kowtowing to the dead to admit his mistake.

The third butler, Shi Zhiping, screamed in pain. He found that he couldn't stand up, his lower body was paralyzed, and he completely lost consciousness.

The yamen servants brought by Wang Butou immediately surrounded the third housekeeper and took control of the third housekeeper.

"Sure enough, I, Mr. Wang, read it right. Daoist Jin'an is also a hidden martial artist!" Seeing that the three stewards were under control, Wang catched his head and bowed his hands in admiration to Jin'an.

Jin An said a few polite words, then looked at Song Haichuan: "Boss Song, there is still one unresolved matter."

Song Haichuan respected Jin An very much at this time, stood up and said solemnly: "Teacher Jin An, tell me."

"Miss Song's coffin was bought by the third steward, too. Miss Song said she didn't like it." Song Haichuan was taken aback for a moment, then put on a serious expression the next moment.

"Come here, change the coffins for Miss and Caixia, then smash the coffin bought by that bastard surnamed Shi for me, and then take it outside the city and burn it, it will look bad luck!"

At this time, the few Taoist priests invited by the Song family also stood up and made suggestions: "Boss Song, just take advantage of today to continue burying Miss Song. Miss Song's case has come to light, and now a new coffin has been replaced. This is called a good thing. Today Burying Miss Song couldn't be more appropriate."

Song Haichuan made a final decision and agreed to the matter.

"Daoist Jin'an, you are a master of Taoism, and you can talk to the dead. I want to ask you one thing." Song Haichuan respectfully saluted Jin'an.

Jin An stretched out his hand to support Song Haichuan: "Boss Song's courtesy is too heavy, but it doesn't matter."

Only when this veteran merchant faced his daughter did he show a trace of tenderness on his face. Song Haichuan sighed and said, "Tie Shuan, the pig butcher, died to save my daughter, and he was implicated because of my Song family. It is my Song family. The family is sorry for him, Tie Shuan is not married, and my daughter is not married, I want to talk about a marriage for my daughter, so that it can be regarded as having a home for that poor child..."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Including Jinan.

This Boss Song was touched by the pig butcher's life experience, he sincerely regarded the pig butcher as a benefactor of the Song family, and was willing to marry his daughter to the pig butcher who came from a poor background.

Those people who were still waiting outside the Song family were astonished to see the Song family having funerals and happy events together today...
