Every criminal feels that he has no choice but to commit a crime. Even if the Lu Waibei family is rich, they will not receive any preferential treatment.

Even the case of Lu Waibei killing He Qiuning is not worthy of appearing alone in the Six Doors.

Xia Yue said coldly: "Did you also kill Lin Ling?"

Lu Waibei was agitated and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I didn't kill Lin Ling. I have no enmity with her, so how could I kill her."

"But Lin Ling also died in the Bajiao Pavilion, the same way as He Ningqiu."

"That's what I learned." Lu Waibei finally admitted: "I thought, if He Ningqiu and Lin Ling died the same way, you would definitely think that it was done by one person, and you would stare at the previous murderer and not doubt him.

mine."

This is the same as what Ye Caitang had guessed before, a typical imitation crime.

Xia Yue asked a few more questions and found that Lu Waibei knew nothing about Lin Ling's death, so he was taken away.

In fact, what he mainly investigated was the murder case of Lin Ling, because that case was unusual. If it was just He Ningqiu, or a homeless man killed by Ding Lang, it would not be enough to enter the sight of the six doors.

Ye Caitang suddenly remembered what Xia Yue said before.

"I remember your Excellency once said that Lin Ling's case is not the first. There are similar cases. What happened?"

Xia Yue had previously said that he would give her the dossier, but then he had something to do every night and forgot about it for a while.

Xia Yue responded and asked the master to get it right away. Soon, he came back with a yellowed file.

Xia Yue clasped his hands behind his back and said: "Seven years ago, a similar case occurred in Liuzong County. At that time, two families were fighting for a water source, one was the Wang family and the other was the Zhou family. There was a huge quarrel. One person

It was a stormy day, and a child of the Wang family was hanged on an old tree in the center of the water source."

Ye Caitang also opened the file. Xia Yue must have read this file many times, and what he said was basically the same as what was recorded.

"There were more than a dozen villagers there at that time. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a piece of old clothing was floating in the air. No matter how hard the child struggled, he could not break free. But there was no one behind the child."

"The water source is the junction of two rivers. There is a small piece of soil in the center of the river. After the people in Wangjia Village discovered this situation, they immediately rushed over despite the wind and rain, but it was too late. The child was strangled to death in front of everyone's eyes.

The murderer was not even seen."

That's basically the same situation as Lin Ling's death. No wonder Six Doors took over the case right away.

Ye Caitang said: "What happened next?"

Xia Yue said helplessly: "No matter where the deceased was found, we can all suspect that the other party was born out of hatred. But now under the eyes of dozens of people, half of them are from the Wang family and half from the Zhou family. In this case, even if

No matter how suspicious it is that it is someone from the Wang family, there is no way to say that it was the Zhou family. Of course, the Zhou family also said something ugly, saying that it was the Wang family who did something immoral and ruined the retribution and made a big fuss."

Seven years ago, Xia Yue was not a headhunter and did not participate in the case, but when he heard the elders talk about it, they shook their heads and sighed.

"The government also attaches great importance to it, but after a long investigation nothing was found, and no witchcraft was found in the Zhou family's village." Xia Yue said: "This case has to be treated as an unresolved case and left alone."

Wang Tongtong slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, this is a water ghost."

Everyone was startled and turned to look at him.

Wang Tong looked a little embarrassed and scratched the bridge of his nose with his finger: "Isn't it? Both times were during violent storms and both times were by the water. Isn't it a water ghost?"

Ye Caitang nodded at him: "Brother Wang is right, but it may not be a water ghost, but the matter may be related to the strong wind and heavy rain. This kind of weather has a very favorable condition for committing crimes."

It can block the line of sight to a certain extent and confuse the audience.

Xia Yue nodded and said: "I was not present back then, and it involved a dispute between two families with a large population. This case is actually much simpler. Even if all the people related to the case are included, they will not be more than the number of people in one family.

"

Moreover, the case has just been released, and all the clues and characters are still there, but they may be hiding somewhere secretly, and they have not been noticed yet.

After all, Ye Caitang was unmatched in terms of knowledge base. She typed the file and said: "I think water ghosts are an idea. Of course, I'm not talking about real water ghosts. I'm talking about people who are similar to water ghosts. The murderer's water nature

It must be very good. I don’t know what happened to the water source before, but the lotus leaves in the Meng family’s old house are now lush. If someone hides under the water, it can be done without being discovered in such weather and environment.

of."

Ye Caitang was glad that he was there at that time and was at the front.

So she can be sure that the environment at that time was indeed very chaotic, with strong winds and rain, lotus leaves swaying, and people dying in the pavilion.

No one else dared to get close. Although she was close, she was eager to save people. When it was determined that Lin Ling could not be saved, the time since Lin Ling's death was long enough for a person to quietly slip away from the lotus pond.

A further blockade will be done after the government arrives, which is enough time for the murderer to escape. And because of the weather at that time, a soaked person wearing a raincoat walking on the road will definitely not arouse anyone's suspicion. Because everyone is

That's right.

A person who is very good at water, has great strength in his hands, has been to Liu Zong County, had a grudge against the Meng family, or Lu Waibei, and is also capable of some strange tricks.

Ye Caitang tapped on the file and said seriously: "Do you think Kim Jong-li knows how to swim?"

No wonder Ye Caitang has always suspected Kim Jong-li. Although he has not benefited from this, his reputation and character really do not correspond to what he does. If a bad person suddenly does good things, there must be a reason for the change.

Beijing is not a place with a lot of water, and no one knows whether Kim Jong-li can handle water.

Fortunately, Xia Yue has many people who can be used.

"It's easy to do." Xia Yue said, "You'll know after you try it."

Poor Kim Jong-li, for some reason, when he was passing by the small river ditch by the village that day, the road that would not fall even with his eyes closed suddenly slipped under his feet, and he slid smoothly into the small ditch.

The edge of the water in the creek only reaches about your shoulders, but there is a person deep in the center. People who are good at water can stabilize themselves by paddling in it twice. However, people who are not good at water must call for help.

Xia Yue just wanted to test Kim Jong-li, but of course he couldn't drown him. Someone hid on the roadside and watched. If he pulled at him a few times and called for help, he would quickly pull him up.

But Kim Jong Ri didn't call for help.
