Three-pot porridge and naan

"There is another possibility that he was not only drugged, but drunk and killed..."

"You mean Uncle Fang?" Yan Twelve looked at him.

"Yeah." Wandong nodded.

Yan Twelve: "Who is the second person to die?"

Wandong: "He's also from the village."

"After so many days, none of the villagers recognized anyone. You said that the one who died was a villager?" Yan Twelve raised his eyebrows.

"Brothers from the Xu family haven't returned yet?"

"Didn't the villagers say that the brothers of the Xu family are taller than this person?"

"The brothers of the Xu family are twins."

When Wandong suddenly said this, Yan Twelve pursed his lips, and his expression was a little stunned: "How did you find this out?"

"Guess."

"..."

Yan Twelve: "You mean they are twins, but they are not the same height?"

In the darkness, Wandong's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Probably so."

"Don't be a fool, have you already found out?" Yan Twelve expected that Wandong had already found out, saying that he felt like a cat scratching his heart, and he really wanted to know who the murderer was.

"Then wait until I finish dissecting them."

"..." Yan Twelve rolled his eyes.

An hour passed, and Yan Twelve sat on the roof for an hour, and he almost fell asleep. When he lowered his head, he saw that Wandong also sat down at some point, so he guessed that Wandong had finished the inspection.

He jumped off the roof: "What's the matter?"

Wandong sat on the ground holding a branch in his hand, not knowing what he was writing.

After a pause, Wandong said, "Apart from the village head and old man Wang who are good at medicine, who else in the village might be good at medicine?"

Yan Twelve frowned: "Did the villagers really do it?"

Yan Twelve couldn't believe it, it was just a villager who had some vengeance to do this?

Mei Wandong stood up and wiped off the dust on her robe: "You go back first, I'll go for a walk in the village."

Yan Twelve rolled his eyes again: "Don't encounter mountain ghosts if you are so mysterious."

Mountain ghost?

Wan Dong stopped walking and looked at him: "Do you also think there are ghosts in this mountain?"

"The skinning method is really not like what humans can do."

If it hadn't been scorched here, maybe anyone would be shocked by the skinning technique, which is terrifying and weird...

Probably because of the murderer who was eager to burn them.

Thinking about it carefully, they were so surprised that day that they forgot to examine those corpses carefully.

Because no one has that kind of technology, so it looks more like a ghost...

Yan Twelve was indeed sleepy, so he didn't say anything more to him, and walked back quickly.

When Yan Twelve woke up, it was already dawn, and he subconsciously looked at the opposite bed. He didn't know when Wandong would come back.

He went out lightly. At this moment, Ya Hong and the others outside the courtyard had also got up, and when they saw Yan Twelve coming out, they nodded and greeted him.

Yahong just went out for a walk and came back again. It turned out that there were people from the other village. They must have heard that the master and the police from the county had arrived, so they rushed to visit. They were all from the village on the other side of the mountain.

The village chief sneered when he saw it: "The news spread quickly."

These people went to see the master, and they also talked about the ghost screams in the mountains.

"Why? This ghost is no longer in our village, but moved to your village?" The village chief looked over in surprise.

Several people resentfully said, "We didn't make it up. If you don't believe me, go to our village and ask."

They were not far away, so how could the people in the next village not know about the murder in their village? The village chief guessed that these three people came here because they were afraid that the murderer would hide in their village.

So the village chief called Wandong and the other two police officers aside and said, "They mean that they are afraid that there will be a murderer in their village... want the government to go and investigate?"

There are three lives in their village, and people from other villages dare not come here to make trouble, unless they are afraid of accidents as a last resort.

Anyway, the master was really persuaded by the people in their village, and even took away a policeman.

Four days later, the master came back in the middle of the night, and he really caught someone back, because he was about to go down the mountain, so he went around to talk to the village chief.

"That's the man. When we went to his house, he killed his father-in-law and hid his corpse in the house, and he pretended to be a ghost at night to scare people!" The master put his hands on his hips, "Such a wicked person must have something to do with the blood corpse outside the temple .”

"You are wronged, my lord! You are wronged, the little one hasn't left the village gate for more than 20 days in a row!"

"Return to sophistry! You pretended to be a ghost and came to the next village, and you haven't left the village gate yet!" The policeman quickly kicked over, "Kill for life, just wait!"

The village chief: "My lord, it's not easy to go down the mountain so late, do you want to rest in a humble house for the night?"

The master saw that it was past Haishi, although he was eager to go down the mountain and he couldn't leave this ghost place early, but after thinking about it, he still felt unsafe, so he decided to stay for one night.

·

Early the next morning, Ya Hong's screams woke them up.

"Dead...dead!" Ya Hong yelled, then cried, and went to find his father.

At this time Wandong and the others got up and left the yard.

Yan Twelve looked at Wandong with a complicated expression: "Who is dead?"

Wandong waited for the village head to come out in a hurry, then winked at Yan Twelve and Mei Xiaobai, and followed.

There is a field behind the village head's house, and in the middle of the field there is a small wooden house for storing farm tools. Last night, the murderer from the next village was locked there.

Early in the morning, when Yahong and the police went to deliver water to people, they found that the person was dead.

Wandong walked over and stretched out his hand to check the man's breath, checked, and said calmly, "He died of poisoning."

Then he took out a pack of medicinal powder in the man's hand.

"...Here." The master sighed and exclaimed, "Why does he have the powder? Is this committing suicide in fear of crime?"

The two policemen immediately confessed their guilt: "My lord, it's because of your negligence that you didn't check the prisoner..."

The master was about to cry, and the credit he got was a dead fish.

·

If this person is the murderer, then the matter is very simple, Wandong sighed, walked over, took out the medicine bag, pursed his lips and smiled.

"He was poisoned to death."

When Wandong's voice came over, the others looked over one after another.

"If he committed suicide, the package of medicine in his hand, the note is too ugly... The paper is torn and scattered on the ground, it looks more like someone fed him." Wandong said Then the hair of the deceased was pushed back, and the imprint of the fingers on the neck of the deceased was exposed to everyone's sight.

"It was really poisoned to death!" The master walked over quickly and said angrily, "Who knows medicine and knows that the people we brought are hiding here, how did he get in!"

After the master said this, he even looked at the village head.

The village chief waved his hand violently: "My lord, I was in the same room with you last night! Don't you know if I got up or not!"

It was already midnight when the master and the others arrived last night, Wandong and the others had gone to bed early, if not, Wandong would definitely guard the prisoner or send Yan Twelve to guard the prisoner.

Yan Twelve came over and looked at Wandong: "So the murderer was really a doctor?"

"At least this man is very good at medicine." Wandong said, looking at the poisoned prisoner, "but he is too impatient, he shouldn't want to kill people so quickly, he really wants someone to help him to cover the crime, instead It's self-defeating."

When did Yan Twelve hear so much from Wandong in the past few days, he stood up in surprise and asked in a low voice, "So you know who the murderer is?"

"Lei Hong, go and call everyone in the village." Mei Wandong walked over with her chest in her arms and whispered to Lei Hong.

Lei Hong looked up at him in surprise, with doubts in his eyes.

"Don't miss any of them. If they don't come, let the arresters quickly bring them up."

"now?"

Mei Wandong's eyes were calm and gentle, and even her voice revealed kindness: "Well, now, I'll give you two quarters of an hour."

Lei Hong blushed and nodded, and ran away.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, even Lu Liehu, who lived the farthest, came, and everyone in the village came.

The old village head was stunned for a while: "Why are you here?"

Villagers: "Didn't the village chief ask Lei Hong to call us here?"

The village head looked at the elder son again, and Lei Hong scratched his head and explained, "It was Mr. Mei who asked me to call someone over."

The master and the village chief looked at Wandong together: "Young Master Mei? What's going on here?"

"Everyone, don't be impatient, my virtuous brother said he knows who the murderer is." Yan Twelve stood up and said expressionlessly.

Mei Xiaobai looked over suddenly: "?"

"..." Mei Wandong twitched the corners of her lips speechlessly, followed by coughing twice, this Yan Twelve just wanted to force him to quickly reveal who the murderer was.

The villagers also looked over quickly: "Mr. Mei knows who the murderer is?"

Mei Wandong sighed and gave Yan Twelve a wink, Yan Twelve only glanced at him, and quickly jumped onto the nearest big tree in a flash.

"Oh he can fly!"

Yan Twelve threw the big knife on his back under the tree with a blank expression: "It's the same sentence, if we want to leave this village, no one in this village can stop us. We stayed here entirely to find out the real murderer for you." Who is it, now please all of you cooperate with Mei Wandong."

"."

The corner of Wandong's mouth twitched, he gave Yan Twelve the wink to tell him to bring the three corpses from the ancestral hall, not to tell him to stand on a tree and say something so bold to scare the villagers in the mountains.

The villagers backed away a lot, Wandong walked over, his quiet eyes swept over them, until he stopped standing in front of one person.

The villagers looked over and saw that beautiful young man standing in front of the only scholar in their village.

"Liu Kai, I want to ask you where you were on the night of September 21th and [-]st." Mei Wandong's voice was as soft as the morning breeze, and his eyes were clear and free of impurities, but his question made me Liu Kai took several steps back.

"Mr. Mei, what does this mean?"

"Yes, what does Mr. Mei mean?"

This was not asked by Liu Kai, but by Orion who was the closest to Mei Wandong.

Mei Wandong smiled faintly: "I always have to ask, what do you think Liu Kai?"

There was no difference between his answer and no answer, but Liu Kai's eyes regained his composure, and he quickly smiled and said, "I'm at home."

"Are there witnesses?"

"I live alone, and I don't have any witnesses, but if I go out, I will definitely ask someone to accompany me, because..." Liu Kai smiled, "My eyesight is not good, and I damaged my eyes from reading in the early years, so I dare not walk around at night."

Village head: "I can testify to this."

Several hunters: "We can also testify that brother Kai has bad eyesight and cannot walk at night."

"Brother Kai fell while walking at night, and his leg bones were broken. He dare not walk at night." Lu Liehu also explained while tied up.

Wandong didn't speak, but walked around, stopped for about a cup of tea, the villagers all started talking, and Wandong didn't go back to continue asking questions.

The voices of the villagers talking became louder. They thought that Wandong had nothing to say, but they didn't expect Wandong to come back again...

Wandong's beautiful eyes stared at Liu Kai for a while, then he smiled and said, "That day, Ya Hong went to invite you to drink, Ya Hong came first, you came here alone, I remember you came It was already dark."

Liu Kai raised his eyes in surprise and looked at the tall and thin young man in front of him, saw some light flashing in his clear eyes, and also saw the half-smile on his lips.

Liu Kai lowered his head slightly: "Hehe, I touched it, my eyesight is not enough to not see the same household in the same village."

"If there is a shadow, you should not even dare to go out at night." Mei Xiaobai walked over with her chest in her arms.

The village chief also came out and explained: "No way, Brother Kai can still walk in the village at night, it's really not like he can't even go out."

Sure enough, many people in the village were very angry: "If you say that other people are suspected, I will believe it. Brother Kai, we don't believe it."

Wandong didn't pay much attention to their reactions, but continued to throw out a sentence: "Brother Kai's eyes have been cured a long time ago."

"?" The villagers looked over again.

Without waiting for them to speak, Wandong looked at Liu Kai: "You cured it yourself. You went to the county to study, not to read the Four Books and Five Classics, but to be an apprentice to an old doctor, memorizing medical books to learn how to perform surgery. But the old doctor wants to leave you at home to be his son. You refused, so you fled back and never went to the county again. But everyone in the village knows that you are studying, and you still run to the county every once in a while. , Let the villagers think that you are studying in the county, but in fact you did not go to the county, but spent a few days in the temple."

After Mei Wandong finished speaking, Yan Twelve jumped off the tree: "Mei Wandong, you already knew! What do you mean by not telling me?"

"Oh, I guess."

Yan Twelve's clenched fist almost hit this man's handsome face, so you can't say it!

The villagers had already widened their eyes after listening to the long passage, but when they heard him guessing, they immediately cursed.

Only Liu Kai, standing there silently, was already in a cold sweat.

"What are you talking nonsense without evidence?" The master yelled angrily, "Speak nonsense again and I will arrest you for disrupting the government's investigation!"

Mei Wandong smiled: "Master, don't be impatient."

Yan Twelve walked over and stood in front of the master. Under the pressure of his height, the master took several steps back and didn't even speak.

Mei Wandong took out a knife from her hand: "Liu Kai, this is yours, right?"

This is a knife as thin as a willow leaf.

Liu Kai slightly raised his head to look at him, and at that moment he stepped back several times, almost sitting on the ground.

"Is it yours?"

Liu Kai wanted to shake his head, hesitated for a moment, but shouted again in the next second: "No, it's not mine."

"It's yours." Mei Wandong, "This is the evidence of your skinning."

"What? Brother Kai kills and skins you!" After the villagers exclaimed, many people backed away, some women ran out with their children in their arms, and even a few hunters who had spoken before stopped talking and looked at Liu Kai with dumbstruck eyes. .

"Master, if you don't believe me, go to Liu's house to search now, there are still many such lancets."

As soon as Wandong finished speaking, the master took the arrester to Liu's house.

In just a quarter of an hour, the master came with a box and some medicinal materials.

"Mr. Mei, this man is indeed a doctor, and there are bottles and cans of medicine at home." The master put these things on the ground, "He has a box of this kind of knife!"

"Liu Kai, why did you drop the knife after you peeled the skin?" Mei Xiaobai asked.

Liu Kai paled: "You're talking nonsense, it's impossible!"

Mei Xiaobai: "So it's you!"

"No, not me!"

Mei Xiaobai: "Don't dare to speak hard, this kind of thin knife is the evidence of your skinning! You killed two people in a row in two heavy rains, and then the serious illness was a serious illness in the shower!"

Mei Wandong looked at Xiaobai, he didn't expect this little cousin to think so clearly now.

"No, I didn't!" Liu Kai stepped back, but was blocked by Mei Xiaobai.

Mei Xiaobai's voice was raised a lot: "You left the knife at the entrance of the ruined temple, and you still want to quibble?"

"I didn't! Impossible! I can't drop the knife!"

"This!"

"whispering sound……"

When Liu Kai finished saying this sentence, the villagers' discussions exploded again: "Brother Kai really killed someone..."

Liu Kai hugged his head: "I didn't, I didn't, how could I drop the knife, I couldn't drop the knife there!"

Mei Wandong sighed: "It's true, I took this knife from your box."

"...You." Liu Kaihong rushed over, "Why did you want to kill me!"

Mei Xiaobai stood in front of his cousin: "Then why did you kill someone?"

"Damn them, they killed my master!" Liu Kaihong yelled at Mei Xiaobai.

"Your master? Which master? The master who taught you medical skills?" Mei Xiaobai asked.

"It's Monk Lu." At this moment, the old voice of the village head came.

Liu Kai suddenly stopped talking.

"Monk Lu knew your father. You and Monk Lu should have a good relationship. I remember that you didn't go out for a few days when Monk Lu died." The village chief sighed, "Then what does this have to do with your killing people?"

"Both Fanglin and Yu's family were the murderers who killed him. They were the robbers who entered the temple and robbed him of his money. Only after they killed him did they have the money to ask you to buy the land, and you, an old fool, are willing to sell the money. The robber who robbed the murderer for money, if you hadn’t lured the wolf into the house, the monk would not have died, and you sold him the house and gave him the best land, and all the money you took was the monk’s money!” This is probably the first time the villagers Once I heard Liu Kai speak so loudly, "Do you understand?"

The village chief's eyes widened: "How do you know that Fang Lin and the Yu family are all robbers?!"

"Last Chinese New Year, they said it themselves when they were drinking and drunk. I was just skeptical before. After they said it, I became more determined to kill them! I will never forget that the house at home was built with money from monks. My parents are both The monk paid for the burial, yes, the monk did not do good things in the years before his death, but who did not receive his favor in the early years, but you, the past me, abandoned him because he became greedy and let him die In the ruined temple, he was killed by robbers and said he committed suicide! You and I are all accomplices!"

As Liu Kai spoke, tears streamed down his face.

Suddenly he said to Mei Wandong: "Young Master Mei, I killed all four of them, this case can be solved."

Yan Twelve: "Impossible, one of these four people was definitely not killed by you. And how to explain the ghost scream?"

Mei Wandong wanted to say, when did Yan Twelve react so quickly? In fact, Mei Wandong didn't want to solve this case anymore. Although he had solved so many cases, this case made him feel a little uncomfortable.

What Yan Twelve said was correct, one of the four people here was killed by someone else, and Liu Kai admitted so anxiously that he wanted to protect that person, just like that person burned the evidence to protect Liu Kai.

Mei Wandong turned to Yan Twelve and said, "Forget it, let's go, the sun is so bright today, let's go down the mountain."

His tone was lazy and he couldn't hear any emotion, but the expression on his eyebrows was much more complicated than before.

Mei Xiaobai jumped up happily when he heard that: "Cousin, I'll pack my things right away, wait for me for a while."

Yan Twelve was confused, and was about to ask another question, but Mei Wandong grabbed his collar and left. When he left, he glanced at several hunters standing aside, and one of them flinched once.

The man seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand.

·

When they were far away, Yan Twelve suddenly asked Mei Wandong: "Can you make that Liu Kai commit crimes and make meritorious service? You think, he is a doctor who is in need of saving people in troubled times. How about throwing him into the army camp as a military doctor? It can be used, he will always save people."

Mei Wandong held up three fingers.

"Three lives?" Yan Twelve scratched his head.

"Or give me three days to do it?"
