Chapter 360 A Group of Superstitious Brothers
Chapter 360 A Group of Superstitious Brothers
The Xilan people were not convinced and retorted sharply, "How can it not be a ghost? Then tell me how a corpse could appear out of thin air and how he was killed!"
Donglin Guoren said calmly, "Yeah, it's a ghost, go and have fun."
Xilan people: "What do you mean, do you think we are being unreasonable? You don't even want to argue with us?!"
Donglin people said indifferently, "Okay, okay, you are all right, a bunch of superstitious guys."
The Xilan people's defense was broken, and in the face of the Donglin people's indifferent response, their madness was like a punch on cotton.
No matter what they said, roared or yelled next, they didn't respond at all. Their attention was focused on the corpse and they were discussing the case with each other.
They feel so frustrated.
I have spread rumors many times before, but this is the first time that all the people are so difficult to deal with.
The Xilan people sat nearby and cried sadly. They were really fed up with the feeling of having to perform a one-man show and no one paying attention to them.
People who were not involved in the discussion of the case advised them, "Young men, you should not be superstitious. How can you be more superstitious than us old people at such a young age?"
"There are no ghosts in the world, only people who pretend to be ghosts."
"It's obvious that you don't like reading. Here, I'll give you this copy of 'Coroner'. Remember to turn off the lights and read it at night."
The Xilan people looked at the old man who was persuading them and burst into tears.
Not only was he despised and ignored, he was also treated as illiterate.
I will never come to Donglin Kingdom to spread rumors again.
This situation is thanks to "The Coroner".
At first, every time a case occurred, everyone would think it was caused by ghosts and gods and that it was impossible for humans to do it.
But every time the reasoning process is revealed, it is always surprising.
Some things that seem like they can only be done by ghosts and gods are actually man-made. It’s just that the knowledge involved is very broad, and the book also popularizes a lot of knowledge to the people.
For example, the crying sounds at night may be some kind of bird or insect, and another example is the reason for the formation of will-o'-the-wisp.
Some theoretical knowledge even makes people feel that it is made up after reading it, but some people practice it according to what is written in the book and find that it is indeed confirmed.
It turns out that behind every feudal superstition, part of it may be the wonders of nature, and the other part may be man-made.
The people of Donglin Kingdom are still investigating the case.
"The age is probably... I can't tell. Can anyone tell? Who can accurately calculate the time of death?"
"What was the cause of death?"
Before the police arrived, the people had already looked at the body from head to toe. Out of respect for the deceased and their own lack of professional knowledge, they did not perform the autopsy in public.
But not even a hair of the deceased was spared.
When the police arrived at the scene, the people were already trying to figure out where the person who dumped the body had thrown it from and where he had run off to.
The officers were a little surprised. After all, in the past, when there was a homicide, the people would have stayed away for fear of being affected.
Why are they still gathered together discussing something? Some are even standing very close to the corpse, covering their mouths and noses.
Judging from his expression, there was a lot of disgust and zero fear.
The officers still wanted to show off their power and asked the people to leave quickly and not to gather around the corpse and hinder their work.
As a result, the people looked at them calmly, with a hint of disdain in their eyes, and looked them up and down.
"Come on, sit over there."
Officer:?
They were confused as the people stuffed several pieces of paper into their mouths. Then they listened to the clues found from the body and their current reasoning.
The murderer probably dug the body out of a mass grave, and took advantage of the holidays when there were many people around to throw the body into the crowd, and then artificially covered it up to create the illusion that the body appeared out of thin air.
The purpose should be to cause panic and create rumors.
Those Xilan people who spread rumors have been controlled by several people, and were so beaten that they forgot to run away.
People: "The scheming kid keeps touching your belly. There is only one truth——"
Officer: Huh?
You have to touch my belly while investigating a case?
The people pointed out the direction in which the real murderer fled, and followed the direction to look for clues, and finally found Fourteen on the roof.
Fourteen stayed in the smelly cell, listening to the uncle's analysis of the reasoning for him. He kept his mouth open from the very beginning, with his eyes wide open and his mouth open the whole time, until the uncle finished his last sentence.
Looking at the shocked and disbelieving expression on Fourteen's face, he left in a good mood.
Cool!
A few more bodies.
The next day, the fifth prince of the thirteenth generation used money to redeem the fourteenth prince and all the Xilan people.
Thirteen looked at him with great contempt, "Your story has spread all over the capital. When did you become so rubbish? Can't you just run away even if you can't beat someone?"
He couldn't even use Qinggong, and was captured by ordinary civilians who had no power of arms. With this kind of strength, can he be a secret guard? Is he worthy of being paid?
Fourteen wanted to spit at him and swore to put raw meat in the meat buns he ate next time.
"If you hadn't punched me and injured me internally, I wouldn't have been able to walk."
Fourteen had a gloomy face. This time they had failed miserably. They did not even cause any panic, but were discovered and caught. It was really a loss of both the wife and the army.
Thirteen was too lazy to pay attention to him, thinking that he just didn't have the strength to pretend.
What a bad idea they came up with. Even a detective couldn't figure it out.
As a result, the people of Donglin State arrested him and brought him to justice.
The common people were so powerful that the police could see through the conspiracy at a glance.
Fourteen met Thirteen's contemptuous look and felt bitter.
Finally, I could only say bitterly: "Go back and report to the Fifth Prince. We have to change our plan. The people of Donglin are smarter than we thought."
"How smart can you be?"
Ning Shucheng sat in the study, questioning Fourteen expressionlessly, "How smart can a bunch of illiterate people be? This time, it's because of your incompetence that I was almost exposed to the Emperor of Donglin Kingdom."
Fourteen wanted to explain.
Ning Shucheng pointed at him, "You're still trying to make excuses!"
"Why didn't I realize before that you are the kind of person who would blame others for your failure? I really thought you were smart, but the people of others easily arrested you."
Fourteen: "Fifth Prince, please listen to my excuses... No, explain. The people of Donglin are really different now."
Ning Shucheng: "It's because you're not working hard enough!"
Fourteen: "Thirteen he..."
Ning Shucheng: "You are still shirking responsibility. You are really the worst secret guard I have ever led!"
Fourteen: "Fifth Prince, I am really not shirking my responsibility. Please listen to me."
Ning Shucheng: "You like to talk so much, right? Come on, come on, speak up, the fifth prince's seat is for you to sit."
Fourteen gave up struggling and stared at Ning Shucheng.
Ning Shucheng: "Why are you looking at me? Is there anything written on my face?"
Fourteen looked down at the ground.
Ning Shucheng: "What are you looking at the ground for? Is there anything written on it? Look at me!"
fourteen:……
If you weren't the master, I would have poisoned you to death long ago.
