Although these people died, their relatives and friends were still alive. Their deaths completely turned the boat people against the Yueyang government.
After that, these boat people kept their names anonymous and no longer showed their real names to others. They either left for other places or returned to Dongting Lake to continue to be bandits. This was equivalent to repeating what happened in the last years of the Zhu Dynasty. After the founding of the Republic of China, the case investigation bureau was disbanded. The feud between these boat people and the government was finally settled.
However, at this time, the boat people were no longer willing to live together. Most of them dispersed to different areas incognito and were determined not to leave any records. If someone recognized them, they would continue to move to strange places and wander around without a fixed residence. Of course, Not managed either. 33
Nowadays, the boat people whose records can be found are all those who have not been implicated in the payment case. Even if they are not implicated, they are still worried about it and absolutely refuse to have any contact with the government. They often live in scattered places and keep their heads down. Be a human being.
Looking at the entire case, the case investigation bureau arrested the boat people without any evidence, and even tricked them into exposing each other, which ultimately led to such a tragedy. It can be said that even if the case investigation bureau has a little They are eager to find out the truth. They probably also know that the boat people are innocent. All this is just to find a scapegoat for the theft of wages.
This case is not even an unjust, false or wrongful one. It is a definite unjust case. It is even a defamation lawsuit caused by the addiction of people's hearts and the corruption of people's morals. Every boat citizen in it is innocent. They should have a stable life, but they are being tortured. The terrible words of people, the turbulent public opinion, and the stupidity of the government are clearly destroying lives.
After Luo Hengsen talked about these past events, he continued: "After the previous dynasty abdicated, the Criminal Investigation Bureau was also removed from office due to its notorious reputation. Since then, all the files of the Criminal Investigation Bureau have been accepted by the Public Security Department."
He paused and continued: "When we are reviewing, if we encounter an unjust, false or wrongful case that is too outrageous, we will usually directly re-examine, define innocence, or re-characterize it. This unsolved case has never been determined. It’s entirely due to lack of evidence.”
"What evidence? Is it groundless if it's not obvious?"
After listening to Luo Hengsen's words, Yue Guanchao understood why Zhu Fushun and Ma Yang were so humble and would rather go fishing than go ashore. It turned out that there was such a hidden secret. If these two people didn't mention this, they probably didn't want to recall these disgusting things. thing.
Luo Hengsen nodded to him in acquiescence: "It is indeed unfounded, but if the official silver was not robbed by them, where did it go?"
He continued with suspicion in his eyes: "It's not that Guanyin was not found when the case investigation bureau originally investigated the case. However, Guanyin did disappear from the vicinity. This means that Guanyin's escort ship did disappear near Chiba Island. It's all good. How could the official banknote disappear out of thin air? If we don’t understand this, who can say that it has nothing to do with the Dongting boat people?”
"Since there are many doubts and there is a lack of evidence of their innocence, we can only leave it unresolved. The Dongting boat people who were hanged are indeed innocent. However, the case of the disappearance of official silver is indeed related to Chiba Island, but we don't know who the real murderer is. who."
Listening to his explanation, Yue Guanchao's doubts eased a little: "Then I understand. The blood debts that the Golden Rat talks about as blood repayment mostly refer to what the people did when the money was stolen. It is probably the descendants of the boat people who came to take revenge. Well, forty years have passed, if those people really have descendants, they are now in their prime, and it is normal to seek revenge from Yueyang City."
Yue Qingshan sighed: "I guess the Dongting Water Bandits and the Golden Rats exchanged some conditions before joining forces with each other to do such a big thing in Yueyang City."
"But, if these people are so vicious, why do they listen to the old Taoist priest?"
Song Siyuan recalled those people's words and became curious about the role of the old Taoist priest.
"It's to repay the favor." Taoist Master Jin stood behind everyone and slowly walked to the stage.
Luo Hengsen's eyes lit up: "By the way, when these boat people were hanged, they were accused of robbing official money. Whoever collects the corpses is an accomplice. Many people are taboo about this reputation, so no one comes to collect the corpses. It's Jin Dao Master Chang Hehua collected the corpses as a monk, which prevented them from dying on the streets. As for their children, they were adopted by Taoist Master Jin and others until their families came to pick them up."
"Aren't you also a child of boat people?"
Yue Guanchao's face was full of surprise. This Taoist Master Jin really didn't show his face.
"That's not true. When I was in the orphanage, the case had already passed nearly 20 years ago." Luo Hengsen paused and sighed: "Maybe it's because of this that these people are open to the old Taoist network and take advantage of it. Repaying it for a thousand generations is no less than a gift of childbirth.”
"Then, these people probably have some tricks up their sleeves. They killed sixty people this time, and I don't know how many more they will kill next time. Detective Luo, how many corpses did you find?" Song Siyuan asked Luo Hengsen.
Without saying a word, he turned around and pressed all the light switches in the morgue. As the lights flickered and swayed, the dark room was illuminated bit by bit. In the dark place where they could not see, there were all golden-haired people. Drowned corpses, these corpses were placed on the corpse cabinets and beds, almost filling the huge morgue.
While everyone was stunned, they also had a deeper fear of the water bandit camp's madness.
Luo Hengsen said cautiously: "There are about a hundred corpses here, which is exactly the sum of the hanged boat people. If my prediction is correct, they will kill thousands more people. Then Yueyang City will not only suffer from these people." Yes,
The Dragon King Temple incident is probably just the beginning. No one can predict how many more people they will kill. "
"If you want to find out the truth as soon as possible, you must first find the Golden Rat Club. They are the masterminds of the murder. As for the Water Bandit Camp, they are just the people behind the scenes hiding in the shadows."
Luo Hengsen seemed to be very troubled by this case, and his words were full of worry.
"How about we cooperate?"
Luo Hengsen asked tentatively.
Yue Qingshan shook his head at the young man: "Forget it, we are looking for the Golden Rat Club to understand the grievances of the world, you are looking for the Golden Rat Club just to investigate the case, we are not the same people and can't go together, how can you investigate and control us? No, no matter how we investigate, it’s not your responsibility.”
"Okay, then let's each investigate our own affairs."
Luo Hengsen knew that these Jianghu people would not get involved in these matters, so he simply took them out of the Public Security Department.
Yue Guanchao and the others ate pig's feet rice noodles on the street to get rid of bad luck, and then returned to Qingtong Inn. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw Zhu Fushun and his wife waiting here.
"Brother Fushun, are you here so early?"
Yue Guanchao thought it would take them several days to find something.
"You came just in time. We did find something. It's not convenient to talk here."
Yue Guanchao took them to the guest room, and Zhu Fushun took out the things in the bag: "This is my grandfather's calligraphy and painting post. It mentioned that there is something under this Yugou Island."
Some people died, but not completely...
