Fix Smile Order Chapter 9: Something’s wrong
Under the threat of Tan Lingyin, Tang Tianyuan had no choice but to let her out. In order to avoid suspicion, the two returned to the inner house one after the other.
The next day, Tang Tianyuan ordered someone to post a notice that someone who lost the girl should come to the county government to claim it. Then, he called the person who guarded Tianmu Mountain yesterday to Tuisi Hall for questioning, and the master Tan Lingyin and the county magistrate Zhou Zhengdao listened in.
It took more than ten days from the arrest of the county magistrate until Tang Tianyuan took over. During this period, the closure order on Tianmu Mountain was not lifted. When they went to Tianmu Mountain yesterday to investigate, they were blocked by the guardian of the mountain, and the other party did not let go until Tang Tianyuan took off his beard.
So, under the circumstance of closing the mountain, someone openly ran into the Tianmu Mountain to throw the body, it is impossible that there is no movement at all.
There were two people on duty last night. They knew that there was a murder in Tianmu Mountain yesterday, and they were both afraid of being implicated. Today, the county magistrate frightened them again. Not coming.
One person kowtowed and said, "Sir, you're wronged! The little people were indeed on duty last night, but they withdrew at the hour of the hour. Before the hour of the hour, we did our best and found nothing unusual."
Tang Tianyuan sneered, "You mean, the mountain is only sealed during the day, not at night?"
"The demons and monsters all came out at night, and I can't seal them up..."
Another person also hurriedly echoed, "It's true! Because when the mountain was first closed, the brothers on duty at night always mysteriously disappeared, and there were several missing, so no one dared to work at night. At that time, the county The master told us that we only need to increase the value at three quarters of the ugly hour, and the value at the next hour of the climax, and leave the time at night to the gods, and everyone will not interfere with each other."
Tang Tianyuan was calm on the surface, but he was disdainful in his heart. Pretend to be a ghost. If someone in the mountains was mining and refining gold, they would always need food and drink. Most of the former magistrates deliberately set aside time to communicate with the people in the mountains. In the middle of the night, it is a haunted place, and no one is going to hang out, which is convenient for them.
He can think of this, so can Tan Lingyin and Zhou Zhengdao.
Tan Lingyin's gold mine was picked up when she visited Tianmu Mountain at night. At that time, she hadn't suspected that there was any gold mine or not, but she just thought the county magistrate was too ignorant. Although she often pretended to be a **** to cheat food and drink, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods herself, and when she visited Tianmu Mountain at night, she wanted to see what "ghosts" were in it, so that she could act for the heavens. Qingchen accompanied her to sneak into Tianmu Mountain that day, the mountain was very dark, and her eyes were not good, so Qingchen led a tour around the mountain, but she didn't see any ghosts.
It stands to reason that with Tan Lingyin's eyes, she may not be able to pick up gold nuggets at night, not to mention gold nuggets, but it was such a coincidence. She didn't know when, when a small pebble slipped into her shoe, she shook her feet, and the pebble got into the space between her toes, and she didn't panic for a while. Tan Lingyin was too lazy to take off her shoes and shake it, so she continued to walk, she became sleepy while walking, and later Qingchen carried her back. The next morning, when she put on her shoes, she found that it was not a pebble at all, but a gold mine.
Since then, she has made up a whole story based on a small gold mine.
Let's talk about it, Tang Tianyuan asked the two to go back after he understood. Here, the three magnates of the county government got together to discuss the case. The three of them tacitly agreed that they did not mention the contact in the middle of the night, but only discussed the murder case. Zhou Zhengdao said that the murderer must have entered the mountain to throw the body after Chen Shi, Tan Lingyin said that the murder scene should be not far from Tianmu Mountain, and Tang Tianyuan said that what you said was all nonsense.
As lunch approached, Zhao Xiaoliu hurried over to tell Tang Tianyuan that the girl's identity was confirmed. It was Qi Hui, a young lady from the Qi family's family in this county. The servants of the Qi family were already crying in the morgue. The member and his wife are rushing to the county office.
Tang Tianyuan didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly went to the torture room. At the door, Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin. She was holding a big bun in one hand, looking into the morgue while eating, her expression was very unbearable, but the movement of eating the bun did not slow down at all.
Cries were heard from the morgue, men and women.
"You really can eat it." Tang Tianyuan said.
Tan Lingyin swallowed the buns in her mouth, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all natural creations, troubles are all bodhi, and pure land is born from mud dung."
Such zen-like words spewed out of her mouth, and it was very divisive.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a group of people came in. Several men and women, surrounded by a middle-aged man and woman, came in a hurry. When the man saw Tang Tianyuan, he knew how to salute, while the woman left them behind and ran into the morgue, followed by a loud cry from the morgue.
When the man heard the cry, his expression also became sad.
This should be the parents of the deceased. Tang Tianyuan asked Qi to enter the morgue and meet his daughter.
Tan Lingyin touched her chin, looked at the howling men and women, and whispered beside Tang Tianyuan, "Something's wrong."
Tang Tianyuan replied in a low voice, "You see something wrong too? Tell me." He bent down slightly and brought his ears closer, so that he could easily hear her whisper.
"Look, the girl's parents are not short of food and clothing, how can a daughter dress like a village girl? This is unreasonable; since she is a young lady from a large family, she should be raised in a deep boudoir, with someone close at all times. Waiting, the murderer will generally not have the opportunity to commit crimes. Unless she runs away by herself."
"Oh?"
"So, she must have run away from marriage."
Tang Tianyuan disagreed, "You don't even know if she has a marriage contract, so it is too arbitrary to assert that she is running away from marriage."
"You don't understand," Tan Lingyin flicked Tang Tianyuan's shoulder. Because the two were too close, Tang Tianyuan didn't have time to escape. She continued, "Is there anything that has to be done at night? Unless she wants to leave that house for a long time. This escape marriage must be chosen after dinner and before the city gate is closed, so that the family finds her the next day. When she didn't see her, she had already been out of the city for one night, so she had run far. Also, she couldn't dress too well when she was escaping from marriage, it would be too conspicuous. "
Tang Tianyuan found that this Miao Miaosheng didn't have anything serious in his mind, he disdainfully said, "It's like you escaped marriage."
"Of course I didn't escape, how could I run away from marriage," Tan Lingyin said, pushing Tang Tianyuan impatiently, "Don't get so close to me."
"That's right, there is no other man in this world who would be so obsessed with entering into a marriage contract with you."
The two of them escaped marriage with one sentence on the left and the other with escaped marriage. When they said that their voices became louder later, when they were heard by the other members of Qi, they immediately became furious, "Don't ruin my daughter's name!"
Tan Lingyin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I said nonsense."
Tang Tianyuan stepped forward and said, "My condolences to the two of you. The inspection of the torture chamber has ended. Now you can bury Ling Qianjin to reassure your soul. This officer will investigate thoroughly as soon as possible, and we must find out the real murderer. I'll give you an explanation."
The two couples were about to kneel to thank them, and Tang Tianyuan quickly helped them up.
At this time, another person came in from outside, stumbled and pulled the eyes of everyone in the morgue to him.
Tan Lingyin saw that this person was ten years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was full of sweat when he ran in. He didn't care about anyone and rushed straight to the corpse in the room. When he saw the face of the corpse, his eyes were red in shock and his body was shaking.
Tan Lingyin scratched her chin and looked at the man in surprise. Isn't this the girl's fiancé? She turned her head to look at the county magistrate, and found that his face was inscrutable.
Well, when people don't know what to do, they can usually pretend to be an expert. Tan Lingyin nodded. This method has been tried and tested.
