Mu Wan's tengu became as big as a child. She dragged its forelimbs and examined the dagger-like fangs. Naturally, these wounds are full of holes. If it was really the mouth of a dog demon, there should be more than two traces of canine teeth.
"Now, we can only prove to the villagers that the Tan family did not die at the mouth of monsters. But how can we explain what they died of? In other words, the murder weapon."
Shi Wuqi put the closed fan to the corner of his lips and thought seriously.
"I still have some concerns."
Shanhai seemed to be still struggling with some issue, and everyone including Liangyue Jun looked at him and asked further.
"You see, they all suffered fatal injuries...especially the woman's throat, where blood would inevitably splatter. But strangely, there was a river of blood in the house, and there was no splattered blood at the same height as the person. "
Shi Wuqi nodded, thinking that he was doubting this.
No blood spurted out, does it mean that when the vital part was stabbed, the murder weapon was not pulled out immediately? What's more, there are only two rooms in the house. If you disturb one side, the person next to you will definitely react. If it were the same pair of sharp weapons, they would be pulled out and used immediately, causing blood to fly.
but no.
"The murder weapons must not be the same. The sizes of the holes are slightly different." Mu Wan was still staring at the corpse.
Could it be that the murder weapon that was used just disappeared? Or is there some complicated mechanism holding the murder weapon? For an ordinary family, it would be too much of a fight.
The small-looking tengu was still sitting on the table, scratching it with its hind legs. It looked at the anxious people, stood up again, and sniffed the holes in the corpses. Suddenly it seemed to smell something, jumped off the stage, and started to wander in the ice cellar. Mu Wan followed it closely, feeling that it had made some extraordinary discovery. Finally, at an inconspicuous corner, they saw huge gaps cut out of the giant ice blocks, and the edges of the entire turn were smoothed away.
Everyone immediately figured out what was going on.
The weapon that can evaporate is ice, right?
A dozen ice picks that had been sharpened in advance were wrapped in cotton cloth. They did not need to be taken out after they were inserted into the human body, so the wounds that should have spilled blood were blocked. As the warm blood slowly melted the ice, blood slowly poured out. After creating such a scene, and then blaming the blame on monsters, no one else will be able to investigate.
That's it.
Liang Yuejun nodded with satisfaction, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Then what?" he asked.
"What then? Of course you went to tell the villagers the truth?" Mu Wan thought this question was strange.
"Indeed. But how do you speak so that they can believe it?"
"What's so difficult about this? Just say no. Tell everyone that the Tan family was assassinated by traitors. And the biggest suspect is the rich man who provided the land deed transfer document. Then ask them who was there Late in the evening I saw a figure coming from near the ice cellar."
Shan Hai looked troubled, and he stopped Mu Wan.
"...It's not that simple."
"Really? Why do you say that too?"
"It's empty talk. Everything must be evidenced. We can indeed prove that these five people did not die from the dog demon, but we cannot explain why the child named Tan Ge and the most suspected dog demon Colleagues...especially now when her life or death is uncertain. Besides, without certified physical evidence, the rich man will definitely accuse us of slander, which will be difficult to handle."
Dai Luan picked up the dog, very surprised. She kept rubbing its hair. The tengu didn't seem to like it, but he didn't resist and let her hold it like a big rag doll. She rubbed the dog and rolled her eyes as if she had a bad idea.
"Why don't you just pick up the corpse and scare them so that they can recruit it as expected?"
"Okay, there is a future."
After Shi Wuqi finished speaking, Miss Qi clapped her hands. But Liang Yuejun frowned:
"Isn't this... not very decent?"
"Why do you even think about maintaining the integrity of a gentleman when dealing with such a person?"
Shi Wuqi and Mu Wan looked at him with caring eyes, as if he was deliberately making everyone laugh.
Except no one really laughed out loud.
"Yes. And who said that only the murder weapon can be considered as physical evidence? If the missing corner of the ice can't explain the problem, a piece of paper with fingerprints will always be convincing, right? What's more..."
Before Mu Wan finished speaking, Shi Wuqi suddenly walked past her and came directly to Liang Yuejun. He put his arm around his shoulders. Liang Yuejun turned his face sideways, a little confused.
"Liangyue-kun...it's not that I doubt you, but I do care a little. This body...can't be fake, right?"
Everyone in the ice cellar turned their heads, as if they were electrocuted, and their eyes quickly shifted between the two people.
Mr. Liangyue's expression did not change.
"How can I see it?"
"I've been feeling strange since daytime today, but I can't put my finger on it. It wasn't until I saw this corpse that I felt something strange. I put my hands on the broken bones of several members of the Tan family, but I couldn't detect their memories of life. Or, they The family is full of monsters; either, these are not their real remains.”
Shan Hai suddenly came back to his senses and considered these words carefully. It is not unreasonable to say that Tan Ge's family members are all monsters. If she was still alive, why would the dog demon take her and take care of her? But this is just a guess, and the most likely thing is the second half of the sentence. Although he didn't want to doubt Mr. Liang Yue... maybe it wasn't him who was the one who changed things, but someone else, but no matter what, he had reason to believe in Shi Wuqi's judgment.
"Well, your surname is Shi and your given name is Wuqi, right?" Liang Yuejun looked at him carefully.
"Perhaps you are not familiar with this name...but do you know the name of Lord Bai Skeleton?"
Liang Yuejun opened his eyes slightly.
"Oh - it's you. So, I was careless."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Mu Wan strode up to him with displeasure in his tone. This sounds like a big problem. It's not intentional, and I can't find a second explanation.
"Well……"
Liangyue-kun, who had been calm and calm before, suddenly became hesitant. He curled his hair and glanced at the master and apprentice in the distance, whose faces also changed. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he took a deep breath.
"To be honest, my pursuit has reached this point. In fact, I have gone further than you - I went directly to the mountains to find traces of the dog demon. Miss Tan Ge, she is indeed alive now."
"Then, why don't you bring her back and explain it to people? She is the most important witness!" Mu Wan was a little anxious.
Liang Yuejun shook his head.
"Since ancient times, people's prejudice against monsters has been difficult to eradicate. The rich man incited people and blamed monsters for this time. He did spend a lot of effort for that piece of land. Five lives is a lot less in this village. But it’s not much compared to the war. Speaking of which... Miss Tange also told me that she was taken care of and did not want to come back to contact people and testify for her family. "
"WTF?"
Mu Wan and Dai Luan almost spoke in unison, and Shan Hai was also very surprised. After all, how can a child have no feelings for his family? Or, does she want to use some extreme method to directly take revenge on those murderers? It's not impossible. Thinking of this, Shanhai recalled the face of Maomata again, and suddenly felt dizzy.
Liang Yuejun sighed deeply, very heavily.
He told them the complete truth he had found out.
It turned out that someone did come to their house that afternoon when Tan Ge went to the field with his parents. The two old men had inconvenient legs and feet, so it was the silly aunt who opened the door. Afterwards, the man put medicine in their soup pot, causing them to sleep deeply at night. Originally, passers-by didn't notice anyone going to their house, but the local dog kept barking.
Late at night, the assassin returned to the place and sneaked in from the backyard. Originally, the distance between the canine teeth could be made more detailed, but Tange's father was not too affected by the effects of the medicine and sobered up. It's just that the assassin was much stronger than him and stabbed him in both eyes deftly. Just as Miss Tan Ge fled the house, the local dog finally rushed in, bit his leg severely, and started fighting with the gangster.
And that native dog is not an ordinary dog. It is a monster with an immortal bond and is pregnant. It had fought with other terrible monsters and lost half of its life. It fled all the way here and fell at the entrance of the village. Without its children, it will run out of energy. At this time, Tan's mother happened to find it and took it back.
It was indeed a lie to say that it ran away. It cannot yet transform into a human form, and its head is still that of a fluffy dog. But this change was enough to scare the third-rate killer. Taking advantage of his panic, she immediately took Miss Tan Ge and fled to the mountains.
She has no children and regards Miss Tan as her biological daughter. She also knows how tempting a human being is to those monsters lurking in the deep mountains and wild forests. So she slowly infused the girl with demonic power, causing her to exude a weak, similar kind of demonic energy. Although there are still dangers in being recognized, it largely eliminates some of the trouble. When other monsters asked her, she would say, "This is my child, a monster, a monster that looks like a human being."
The rich man was so angry that he couldn't catch the girl, but there was nothing he could do. After the frightened assassin came back to life, he directed all suspicions to the monsters in the mountains - especially the dog monsters. Previously, they just thought there were many wolves on the mountain, but now, Miss Tan really can't go back.
That evil spirit is still regretting not drafting another document to sell his daughter.
"So, it's the dog demon who thinks humans are dangerous and won't let the benefactor's children get close to him anymore?" Dai Luan asked.
"Or maybe she's planning something else... I'm not sure. I'm afraid that someone in the village will notice the evil spirit in her and think she's another monster pretending to be another monster. But how can I explain this to the villagers?"
Liang Yuejun looked at the mountains and seas and nodded.
"No matter what I say, the dog demon is unwilling to come forward with the child to explain - naturally, if he really comes back, he will be criticized. But without such proof, no matter how I comfort him, people will not believe what I say. ”
In a sad atmosphere, Shi Wuqi was thoughtful.
"The story is good. So... what does this have to do with the fake corpse?"
