And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 70 Family of Six

"Could it be the master's nephew who murdered the family and occupied the master's house?"

Gongsun Yue frowned.

"My lord, that's not the case. According to our investigation, when the six members of this family disappeared and died, their nephew was doing business in other places. He had been away from home for several months, and only received news of returning to Pingliang a year later."

The clerk who brought the documents shook his head and said.

"Then why did they die, and their bodies were hidden at the bottom of the well?"

Gongsun was more puzzled.

"This subordinate doesn't know."

Yacha also looked puzzled.

"You go down first."

Gongsun Yue said.

After the yamen servant left, Wuzuo came to the yamen again.

After Wu Zuo finished examining the bones and put away the tools, he went to Gongsun Yue, the county magistrate, and reported:
"My lord, I have already experienced these skeletons, and have not found trauma from these skeletons, but the corpses have been soaked in water for a long time, and the flesh and blood have rotted for too long, so I have not experienced much information. gone."

Seeing that he couldn't hear any useful clues, Gongsun Yue could only dismiss Wu Zuo: "Okay, you go down first."

Then he looked at Chen Yuan: "What is the Taoist priest thinking?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Investigating cases is not my specialty, and this matter requires the magistrate to spend his mind."

At this time, the team leader Hu Sifang was thoughtful, and said beside him: "My lord, Daoist, this subordinate has an immature idea."

Gongsun Yue looked at Hu Sifang: "Say it."

Hu Sifang said: "My lord, do you think it is possible that this family died accidentally in the well, and later the nephew of the owner who inherited their house and yard found their dead bodies, but they did not dare to spread them out, for fear of being wronged, it is reasonable to say I don’t know, so I hid these corpses at the bottom of the well?”

Gongsun Yue asked Hu Sifang: "What is the reason that all of their family died at the bottom of the well? Taking a step back, even if there is any danger at the bottom of the well, after two or three people died in a row at home, it is impossible for others to die." Do you want to go down?"

According to the document information brought by the yamen just now, after the owner of the family disappeared, the yamen sent people to search the whole house, but no body was found, so the owner and the family were sentenced to be missing.

Hu Sifang was speechless, unable to answer at all.

It is easy for him to catch the robbers, but it is really difficult for him to solve the case.

"Can you still find the owner's nephew?"

Gongsun Yue asked Hu Sifang.

"We have already checked. The nephew of the owner of this family is a merchant. Not long after inheriting this house, strange things happened frequently in this house. After living in it for less than a year, the house was sold. .”

"It is said that he later moved out of Pingliang County and went to live in Lujiang City, the prefecture."

A yamen servant came forward to report.

"Go and find out if there were any bandits who fled to Pingliang County in that year! In addition, send someone to Lujiang City, the prefecture, to bring the owner's nephew back to Pingliang County for questioning."

Gongsun Yue ordered Hu Sifang again.

As the county magistrate investigating the case, he just couldn't give up any possibility or clue.

Since the death of the family was too long, it had been ten years, and there were not many things that could be found. To be honest, the probability of solving such an old case where bones were suddenly discovered was really low.

But these six corpses were found in Chen Yuan's yard. Chen Yuan just solved a big problem for him. Yuan made an explanation.

"As ordered."

After Hu Sifang agreed, he left.

Chen Yuan said to Gongsun Yue: "Lord magistrate, this case is an old one. After such a long time, there are few clues, and the chances of finding out are slim. You can investigate the case, but let's put these bones in the ground first, after all. They've been trapped at the bottom of the well for so long."

Chen Yuan also knew that the chances of finding out an old case were slim, so he said more to Gongsun, the county magistrate.

Anyway, the skeleton has already been autopsied by Wu Zuo, so it is useless to keep it.

Hu Sifang nodded and said, "The Taoist priest is right."

While speaking, he ordered the Yamen to go to the coffin shop to order six coffins, put the six found bones into the coffins, and find a place outside the city to bury them one by one.

Investigating a case takes time, and it does not happen overnight. After finishing these things, Gongsun Yue left with the yamen.

While watching the excitement around the entrance of the yard, the neighbors and residents around saw that the magistrate took the yamen's servants and took away the six skeletons found at the bottom of the well in Chen Yuan's house. Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, they all dispersed. .

After listening for so long, they also understood roughly that the six skeletons were one of the previous owners of this house.

No one thought that Chen Yuan was the one who got involved in the lawsuit when the magistrate came to the door with a yamen servant.

In the end, only Chen Yuan, Chen Wenqing, and Wu Qingping's family remained in the yard.

"Erlang, you found so many skeletons at the bottom of the well in your yard. You also said that you encountered strange things at night. I think this house is unlucky. How about we move to another house?"

Brother Chen Wenqing was a little worried.

"It's okay, brother. The bones have been found. After they are buried, they may not appear again."

Chen Yuan declined with a smile.

He is used to living in this house, and he is not going to change places.

"But……"

Chen Wenqing looked worried, but could only hesitate to speak.

He originally wanted to say that if Chen Yuan was worried about money, he could definitely contribute to help Chen Yuan buy another house.

But soon he realized that Chen Yuan could turn stones into gold, and there was a white mouse at home that kept bringing back money from outside, so there was no shortage of money at all.

"Ah, okay."

Elder brother Chen Wenqing could only heave a long sigh in the end.

"Shu Lang, if you feel any difficulty, you must tell us."

Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping said beside her.

"Ok."

Chen Yuan laughed.

Then his elder brother Chen Wenqing and brother-in-law Wu Qingping also left.

Only Chen Yuan was left in the yard.

Chen Yuan looked at the corner of the house. He saw the ancient well where the six skeletons had just been hung. At the beginning, he planned to clean the ancient well and use the well water inside.

Now that he knew that there were six skeletons at the bottom of the well, he directly gave up the idea of ​​using the well water.

I always feel that there is something in my heart.

"It may take some time for the Yamen to find out the cause of death of these six skeletons, but I don't know if the mourning villain will appear at night?"

Chen Yuan felt a little uncertain.

But it's okay if they appear, Chen Yuan is already used to getting along with them.

Every few days, he would appear in the house late at night, waking up his master from his sleep, and Chen Yuan didn't feel afraid.

Lying sideways on the bed, watching the villain wearing filial piety and mourning, it feels like watching a big show and enjoying himself.

that night.

At the time of the last quarter moon, the crescent moon appears in the eastern sky like a curved hook, with the moon facing east.

Chen Yuan was wearing single clothes, stopped practicing, and woke up from his sleep.

Because he felt that someone in the room was watching him by the bed.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and took a look inside the room, only to see the moonlight shining through the window. In the dim moonlight room, there was a family of six kneeling respectfully before his bed.

There are six members of this family, old and young, male and female.

Chen Yuan turned over, sat up from the bed, put his legs on the edge of the bed, and half sat on the edge of the bed.

"You are the six skeletons found at the bottom of the well during the day?"

Chen Yuan looked at the six people in front of him and said.

He could feel that the six people in front of him had extremely heavy Yin energy, their figures were ethereal, and they were all ghosts.

"The old man Xu Weng and his family, thank the Taoist priest for his kindness in rebuilding."

Among the six members of the family, the oldest old man saluted Chen Yuan.
