Ning Yujin thought for a while, then said with twitching lips: "Master Xu, the white ghost you are talking about cannot be the one with disheveled hair and white clothes, right?"
Xu Jinsong shook his head and said: "White ghosts are not ghosts in the ordinary sense, they are extremely crazy ghosts."
"Is there any other way to say this?" Ning Yujin supported her chin with both hands and blinked, signaling Xu Jinsong to continue.
"The allusion of the legendary white ghost can be traced back to the previous dynasty, when traitors were rampant and the people were in dire straits. In one of the small counties, in order to seize his brother's property, a man poisoned dozens of members of his brother's family. Later.
His sister-in-law escaped a little, and filed a complaint with the Yamen. Unexpectedly, the younger brother had already bribed the government. In the end, it was determined that his sister-in-law had committed adultery with an adulterer and murdered her husband, and she was sentenced to death."
"On the day of the execution, heavy snow fell on the execution ground. The woman walked in the prison car and cursed everyone resentfully, saying that she would come back for revenge. At that time, the snow fell on her body, covering her whole body
It turned white and looked like a snowman."
"Then what happened next?" When Ning Yujin heard this, she immediately thought of "The Injustice of Dou E". There seems to be endless injustices in this world, happening at any time and anywhere.
Xu Jinsong said: "The people involved in that case died one after another not long after. I heard that before they died, there was a white shadow always following them. They were all white from head to toe, like
Very bad for the woman in the prison car that day."
"Bai Ying..." Ning Yujin finally understood why Xu Jinsong mentioned this allusion.
Seeing Ning Yujin's thoughtful expression, Xu Jinsong quickly asked, "Does the third lady know something?"
Ning Yujin looked at Mo Jingxiao, paused, and then said to Xu Jinsong: "Actually, when we were at the crime scene, we also vaguely saw a white shadow floating by, but the speed was too fast, and we couldn't see it clearly.
, Ah Xiao said he is a peerless master."
"Is he a peerless master?" Xu Jinsong pondered for a moment, "I thought it was that drunkard talking nonsense."
"What's wrong?" Ning Yujin asked him.
He said: "It's like this. Every time a victim is found, Xu will ask people to go to the nearby area to investigate to see if anyone has seen anything. One time, a drunk man said he saw a white ghost. We were
I just thought he was drunk and talking nonsense, so I didn't pay much attention to him."
Because the drunk man was so drunk that he was in a daze and said something about ghosts and gods. Naturally, no one could believe it. Even he was not prepared to mention it just now.
But unexpectedly, Ning Yujin and the others actually saw it too!
Ning Yujin tilted her head and asked with some confusion: "There are so many ghosts in the world, why are they white ghosts?"
Xu Jinsong asked Ning Yujin: "Master Ning, does he know why the white ghost is called the white ghost?"
Ning Yujin opened her eyes wide and answered: "Isn't it because it's snowing and the snow covers all people, making them look all white, so they're called white ghosts?"
Xu Jinsong stretched out his index finger and shook it from side to side: "Actually, there is another very important reason."
"What reason?"
"It happened to be the dog days of summer when the woman died."
"Dog days of summer? It's the hottest day of the year. Is there heavy snow in the sky?" Ning Yujin was startled and had only one thought in her mind. Is this a lie?
The snow falling in June in "The Injustice of Dou E" is just a script. How can there be such a weird thing in reality?
What's more, they have also seen the "white ghost" that the drunkard calls him. Ah Xiao said that he is a person with high martial arts skills and is not a ghost.
Ning Yujin asked Xu Jinsong: "Then what? Does this white ghost have anything to do with those dead young women?"
"It's like this." Xu Jinsong explained, "In June last year, a handsome young man with jade trees in the wind came from Zhuzhou. He rented a painting boat and played the piano and enjoyed the scenery on the famous Huaihe River every day. I don't know.
How many women were charmed. Later, a young lady got on the young man's boat through some unknown method. As a result, after getting off the boat, she was coaxed into unconsciousness by several other young ladies and pushed into the river and drowned."
"For a man, those girls are too ruthless, aren't they?" Ning Yujin's eyebrows narrowed slightly. When she thought that Ning Yuyan, Ning Yuning, and Su Yuehua were in that situation because of men, she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart.
Sigh.
"This is not the first time this has happened in history." Xu Jinsong said, "It's just that the young lady died too tragically. There was hail in Zhuzhou City when she died. Everyone thought that she would return as a white ghost.
, so at that time this matter was almost widely known to everyone.”
"Snow in June and hail in June are not the same concept, right?" Ning Yujin said, "Hail mostly appears in late spring and summer accompanied by thunderstorms, so it is not impossible to have hail in June. It just happens.
, this white ghost’s statement is too far-fetched.”
Xu Jinsong nodded and said: "That's true, but I don't know who spread the rumor first at the time. In the end, it spread throughout the cities of various states and could not be suppressed."
"You were already here at that time. How did you deal with the final result?" Ning Yujin asked him.
Xu Jinsong sighed and said: "Because they are all big businessmen in Zhuzhou City, they united to block all the business of the father of the deceased. The father of the deceased had no choice but to give up the lawsuit for the sake of his three sons. In the end, they coordinated a private
It’s over.”
"Is this... the end?" Ning Yujin sighed helplessly, "It's true that money can make all the difference."
Because the family did not pursue the case, they could not even establish a case. Even if Xu Jinsong wanted to do anything for the dead woman, he was unable to do anything.
Mo Jingxiao asked at this time: "Where is that man?"
"That's right, where is that man?" Or their Ah Xiao will focus on the key points, Ning Yujin also looked at Xu Jinsong and asked.
Xu Jinsong said: "I don't know where it went. It came out of nowhere, and disappeared without a sound, as if it came out of thin air."
Ning Yujin stood up immediately and raised her eyebrows: "Could the truth of the matter be like this: Those rumors of white ghosts were spread by that man, and his purpose was to make the matter bigger so that he could avenge the woman.
But later, when he saw that he was nowhere to be found, he left quietly, and then waited for an opportunity to avenge the woman. The white ghost that the drunkard saw might be none other than the man back then. Every time he killed someone, he would send a note to the Yamen.
The action of telling the location is probably out of resentment for the Yamen’s inaction back then.”
"It wasn't that Xu didn't act at that time, it was just..."
Seeing that Xu Jinsong felt a little guilty, Ning Yujin quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't take it too seriously. You can't have the final say in the situation at that time. What's more, I just said casually that the truth of all things must be established.
On top of the evidence.”
As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Can you take me to the Yamen? I'm going to do an autopsy. The dead don't lie, there will definitely be some clues left on it."
"Autopsy?!" Xu Jinsong looked at Ning Yujin in disbelief. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Mr. Ning, are you going to do the autopsy?"
"Should I go or you?" Ning Yujin suddenly laughed, "If you knew how, Mr. Murong wouldn't let you come to me."
Xu Jinsong finally came to his senses - Zizhan asked him to ask Ning Yujin to do an autopsy?!
But can she, a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old woman, really do it?
