"There is no doubt that the murderer is 90% likely to be Wang Baoli!"
In the large room reserved by the village chief, Patrolman Li Shuang directly confirmed the answer.
"Is it reliable?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
The look on Li Shuang's face when he said the answer was too conclusive.
In normal times, that would be enough. Zhang Xuezhou can trust professionals.
However, the Yamen made a mistake in trying this case, involving the Rong family, and everyone had to come to 'catch the ghost'. This made Zhang Xuezhou less trusting of professionals, and he only felt that there was a lot of possibility of mistakes.
"It must be reliable!" Li Shuang confirmed.
"What's the other 10% possibility?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"There is still a 10% possibility that Wang Fuan lost his footing and fell into the Longmen River and drowned." Li Shuang waved his hands and said, "But for such a big man, this is probably not possible!"
"Have you conducted an autopsy?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"An autopsy? How can you do an autopsy on a body that's swollen like that?" Li Shuang waved his hands and said, "Besides, as the parties involved, you yourself didn't go to confirm Wang Fu'an's body, let alone us. After all, our yamen has limited manpower and no one is qualified to do an autopsy. With our talents, the possibility of us making mistakes is very high!”
"Then you might as well invite me to take a look," Rong Li said, "After all these years..."
"What you have seen over the years are dead pigs, not dead people!"
Li Shuang waved his hand, indicating that Rong Li's autopsy was even more unreliable.
"They are all corpses, so what's the difference?" Rong Li said unhappily: "I can see the wounds from the bumps, bindings and knife stabs at a glance!"
"Your kind is a normal corpse. The corpses that are examined by the yamen have generally been dead for many days. There is a lot of filth in the corpses. If you are not careful, the corpses will explode. The maggots on the body can stink for several days. There are also those rotten leftovers. A pile of bones..."
"Forget it, I don't meet the requirements of the Yamen!"
Rong Li persisted for a few seconds and then gave up.
The talent of autopsy requires not only boldness and carefulness, but also many professional skills, which is indeed completely different from killing pigs.
"You just believe in my judgment." Li Shuang said helplessly: "There are too few things happening in this kind of village, and there is no possibility of other accidents. I guess Wang Baoli listened to Mu Taoist's words about water ghosts and took advantage of Wang Fuan's night. I had evil intentions when I was looking for sheep!"
"Then go and catch him quickly. What do you want us to believe you for?" Rong Li said.
"I was stabbed by you!" Li Shuang waved his hands and said, "It's not easy for me to arrest people now!"
"Then you go back to the Yamen and ask for help," Rong Li said.
"If I really want to go back to the Yamen to call for help, I will be punished by Mr. Bao. You will inevitably be involved. You will still be punished for being involved in the counterfeit paintings of immortals," Li Shuang said.
"The real culprit has been caught, why is there still something to do with us?" Rong Tianding said unwillingly: "I just sold a few paintings!"
"At a very small scale, you are deceiving people and making money by selling paintings based on ghost stories. At a serious level, you are deceiving people and disrupting order. Beheading is not an exaggeration." Li Shuang said with a smile: "You are lucky to be in charge of Rong. He has a certain status in our Chengdu, so he didn’t fall to the point of direct execution!”
He threatened Rong Tianding, and then picked up Rong Li, making Rong Li's face slightly happy for a moment.
Although the Rong family only runs a pig-killing business, Rong Li can say that at least half of the people in Rongcheng have eaten the pork they sell.
This allows everyone to look at the Buddha instead of the monk, and at least not go too far when doing things.
Now it is also a matter of tacit understanding.
They helped the Yamen settle the murder case, and the Yamen didn't say anything about it and just ignored Rong Tianding's selling of fake paintings.
As long as Rong Tianding doesn't add fuel to the fire when he is haunted, the yamen can even turn a blind eye to Rong Tianding's future sales of fairy paintings.
Li Shuang and Rong Li communicated in a low voice, and finally felt confident.
"We can help, but we are just pig butchers. We don't have the power of the yamen to enforce the law. If we arrest Wang Baoli directly, we will only make people angry," Rong Li said with a frown.
"Not only do we need to arrest Wang Baoli, we also need to quell this haunted incident." Li Shuang said with a headache: "How to make the villagers believe that there are no ghosts in Longmen Village. Wang Baoli did many things. It is difficult!"
"It's impossible for Wang Baoli to take away so many pigs and cows, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully: "How can you make the villagers believe such a thing?"
"I heard from Master that the person who took away the pigs and cows was a big shot," Li Shuang said. "When he led people passing by, he took the villagers' pigs and cows and beat their teeth as sacrifices. Now he has sent a sum of money as compensation, and it will be sent to him by the Yamen soon." Disaster relief in Longmen Village."
"This is really..."
Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a moment.
What caused Longmen Village to panic and people in Chengdu to panic was actually just something a big shot did casually.
He was surprised at the great destruction of order by the big shots, and at the same time he was dissatisfied with this big shot.
It was clear that they only needed to pay for it, but they chose to take it without telling them, which caused panic in the surrounding area. In the end, it also involved them, making them have to clean up the mess.
The difficulty of mopping up is obviously very high.
Patrolman Li Shuang failed in pretending to be a ghost. It is difficult for this kind of thing to happen again.
As Li Shuang said, you must have the ability to pretend to be a ghost, otherwise barking in the middle of the night will attract the big dogs in the village, and you may end up telling the truth in the dog's mouth.
Everyone deliberated for a while, and after some blind discussion to no avail, Zhang Xuezhou hesitated to ask.
"Do you think we can catch Wang Baoli as a ghost?"
On the one hand, the ghost rumors need to be dispelled, and a ghost must be caught or fooled to pass.
On the other hand, Wang Baoli must be captured.
It is extremely difficult for everyone to complete two things separately. Zhang Xuezhou proposed another possibility.
"As long as we determine that Wang Baoli is possessed by a water ghost, we will definitely be able to catch him and get the villagers to cooperate!"
After thinking that Mu Taoist had used 'ghost possession' to control his own body, Zhang Xuezhou could not help but follow suit and prepared to operate it on Wang Baoli again.
It's just that the Mu Taoists are really capable, but they are just fooling around with living people as ghosts.
When Zhang Xuezhou expressed his thoughts, Li Shuang pursed his lips and moved a little away from Zhang Xuezhou.
"The minds of scholars move very quickly!"
Li Shuang sighed in praise.
Warriors think simply, and do not use their brains to do things that can be cut with a sword.
And the literati have too many twists and turns.
Li Shuang only felt that the Rong family's thoughts on studying were too complicated, far less simple than when they sold pigs before.
"Cousin, it's time for you to show off the power of fairy paintings," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Cousin, if we continue like this, problems will easily arise," Rong Tian Dingchou said, "I feel like things are getting bigger and bigger!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't do it, it's not me who gets beaten anyway," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.
"Let's go, let's catch water ghosts!"
After being reminded by Zhang Xuezhou, Rong Tianding suddenly lost his hesitation when he thought about the ten sticks he had in his yamen.
"Let's hold a legal ceremony..."
Zhang Xuezhou came up with a crooked idea, which immediately made Rong Tianding nod his head.
Others can't do things the way they do, but Rong Tianding can do it.
As a painter of fairy paintings, it is normal for Rong Tianding to be able to catch ghosts.
Although Rong Tianding is not as famous as Taoist Mu, everyone at least knows that he can draw paintings of gods and has a certain connection with gods.
As long as someone believes, things will be easy to handle.
Rong Tianding walked out with an excited expression, and Zhang Xuezhou followed him, preparing to strike.
"Old Jia, you really know how to enhance the Feng Shui of our Rong family!"
Seeing the two good pig-killing heirs turn into two little liars, Rong Li felt that this was all caused by the scholar Jia Zhiyuan.
"I shouldn't have blindly chosen you back then. If I hadn't chosen you, I would have found an honest man. The offspring of an honest man will definitely be honest and will follow me to kill pigs honestly..."
Rong Li talked about Jia Zhiyuan as usual, and when Rong Tianding loudly greeted "folks" outside, Rong Li walked out gloomily.
