Chapter 116 Reasoning Identity
Then, Cui Er said with a painful face: "I have no choice! In desperation, I pleaded guilty in the hall the next day!"

Jiang Youzhi never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this, and Cui Er who saw this incident cried out: "I'm dead, but I can't hurt my family!"

Jiang Youzhi quickly helped him up and said: "Don't worry, I will uphold justice for you in this matter, but I want to see who that ghost is!"

Seeing this, Cui Er knelt down and said earnestly, "Master! You must save me!"

Afterwards, the remaining two also told the whole story. The experiences of the three of them were very similar. After meeting the host, the host died strangely in their own home that night. Throwing the body to cover up, or directly reporting to the police, were all threatened by the terrifying ghost, and then they confessed to the crime and were sentenced to beheaded.

Jiang Youzhi comforted the three of them. In order not to startle the snake, the three of them stayed in the prison for the time being.

When she and Pei Xun got out of the prison, Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but wondered: "Strange thing, strange thing!"

Jiang Youzhi thought for a long time, but still had no idea: "The five people who died were all surnamed Huang, from the capital Jingdu. They all went to the county to do business. There must be some connection between these five people, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? , The murders that happened within a few days, the dead are so similar, it can't be a coincidence."

Pei Xun said at this time: "Maybe these five people know each other, or even belong to the same clan."

Jiang Youzhi immediately said pleasantly: "Yes, it is very possible, since that is the case, the five of them walked separately, did not stay in the store, did not go to the inn, it must be intentional, maybe they did not want to be discovered by some people, so they chose The soldiers are divided into five groups, and they stay with different families."

Pei Xun nodded: "It makes sense."

But another question came to Jiang Youzhi's mind: "But what is the real relationship between these five people? What are their identities? What is the reason for coming here?"

Pei Xun said, "We can guess about this matter."

Jiang Youzhi was a little puzzled and said, "Guess?"

Pei Xun said: "When we did the autopsy that day, we found that the five deceased were all wearing silk clothes. This kind of silk is produced by white silkworms and belongs to the middle and lower classes, while ordinary people usually wear clothes made of linen. Then the range of their identities has been narrowed down quite a bit, so in Kyoto, are there those people who prefer to wear clothes made of silk?"

After Jiang Youzhi thought for a moment, he said: "People who wear silk clothes generally include businessmen, owners of restaurants, wine shops, silver houses, money houses, silk and satin houses, tea houses, masters in Beijing's yamen, accountants, The deacon, the bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau, the housekeeper of the rich and noble family, the head deacon of the official family, the personal servant of the master...these are almost all of them."

Pei Xun asked again: "Then what do you think these five people should be?"

Jiang Youzhi said: "According to the dresses of those two people, first of all, they will not be people in the yamen. No matter whether they are officials at all levels or all kinds of yamen servants in the yamen in the middle of the capital, their clothes are strictly regulated by grades. They do not conform to any of them. At the first level, it is even more impossible for businessmen and bosses everywhere, as well as the bodyguards of the Escort Bureau. Businessmen and bosses usually have servants accompanying them, so how can they act alone, and it is even more impossible for the bodyguards of the Escort Bureau to escort the goods alone? Well, from this point of view, these five people are all surnamed Huang, and it is impossible for them to come to do business. They are like the chief servants of the official family. In many noble houses in Beijing, there are not many such servants with the same surname. Condition."

Pei Xun nodded after hearing this: "They are ordered by one person to come to the Helian area to handle the same matter in secret, and this matter is very urgent and important, and in order not to be discovered by the enemy, they divide different routes. Look, it all makes sense."

"But who did they come to see in Helian? What's their purpose?" Jiang Youzhi heard.

Pei Xun immediately said to Ah Chang who was behind him: "A Chang, I will immediately sort out the list of people who are officials in Beijing but whose families are in Helian. People who are closely connected are also sorted out."

Ah Chang replied immediately: "Yes!"

When she returned to the back hall of the county government office, Pei Xun heard her senior brother lose his temper and yell in pain. She couldn't help but said: "Senior brother, if you are like this, if the old man sees you, There must be some scolding."

Poinsettia said indifferently: "Master, he's very busy, so he doesn't have time to take care of me."

Jiang Youzhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother, do you know Deng Xiuquan?"

Poinsettia raised her eyebrows, said with a disapproving expression: "I still understand, but I'm just defeated by my brother's subordinates."

With a flattering expression, Jiang Youzhi took out the pen and paper prepared in advance, pushed it in front of Poinsettia and said, "My wise and martial brother, can you draw a portrait of this defeated general and ask my younger sister to have a look."

Poinsettia is extremely unflattering, his tail is almost up to the sky at this moment, and he said triumphantly: "Look at what he is doing, he looks vulgar, just look at senior brother."

Jiang Youzhi rolled his eyes to the sky, frowned, pouted at the paper on the table, his eyes were full of threats.

Poinsettia had no choice but to sigh, and picked up the pen resignedly: "Draw a picture!"

After the painting was finished, Jiang Youzhi held the portrait and looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't see why. She was anxious, and while shaking the man in black who was still in a coma, she put the paper in front of him and asked loudly: "Brother , you open your eyes to see if this person hurt you, take a look!"

Poinsettia said from the side: "Junior Sister, don't embarrass a half-dead person, at least you have to find a living person to watch, and if you shake him to death in a while, you just wait and run away."

Jiang Youzhi curled her lips helplessly, but in the next second, the word "living person" suddenly crossed her mind, and she suddenly stood up: "Living person! By the way! Brother, you are really smart!"

After finishing speaking, he ran out like a gust of wind, leaving Poinsettia alone feeling baffled.

When Jiang Youzhi rushed to the prison, he saw Cui Ersan and the others, and when they saw that it was Jiang Youzhi, the three of them were very excited: "Master Daoist, why are you here?"

Because the three of them were supposed to be beheaded at noon today, but Jiang Youzhi said that he wanted to avenge their grievances, so the three of them were really not beheaded, and now they trust and appreciate her very much.

Jiang Youzhi said quickly: "I came here to show you something." After saying that, she took out the piece of paper from her sleeve, spread it out, and asked the three of them to look at it.

The three of them were shocked when they saw the person, and one of them was trembling with fear!
