Chapter 51 Possession
"There is no doubt, the murderer is [-]% likely to be Wang Baoli!"

In the large room reserved by the village head, Li Shuang, the police officer, directly affirmed the answer.

"Is it reliable?" Zhang Xuezhou doubted.

Li Shuang's expression when he said the answer was too convincing.

It's fine as usual, Zhang Xuezhou can trust professionals.

But something happened in the Yamen's trial of the case, involving the Rong family, so that everyone had to come to 'catch ghosts', which made Zhang Xuezhou's trust in professionals less strong, and he felt that there was a lot of possibility of mistakes.

"It must be reliable!" Li Shuang confirmed.

"What is the [-]% possibility?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"There is still a [-]% possibility that Wang Fu'an slipped and fell into the water and drowned in the Longmen River." Li Shuang waved his hands and said, "But he is such a big man, it is estimated that there is no such possibility!"

"Have you done 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, you didn't bother to confirm Wang Fuan's body, let alone us. talent, we have a high possibility of making mistakes!"

"Then why don't you invite me to take a look?" Rong Li said, "I've been here for so many 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 is even more unreliable.

"They're all corpses, so what's the difference?" Rong Li said unwillingly, "I can see the wounds stabbed by the tied knives at a glance!"

"Your kind of corpse is a normal corpse. Those corpses in the yamen's autopsy usually have been dead for many days. There is a lot of filth in the corpse, and the corpse will explode if you are not careful. The maggots can stink for several days. A pile of bones..."

"Forget it, I don't meet the requirements of the Yamen!"

Rong Li persisted for a few seconds, then gave up her insistence.

The skill of autopsy requires not only boldness and carefulness, but also a lot of professional skills, which is completely different from killing pigs.

"You just believe my judgment." Li Shuang said helplessly, "There are too few incidents in this kind of village, and there is no possibility of other accidents. When I was looking for sheep, I was moved by evil intentions!"

"Then hurry up and catch him, what do you want us to believe you for?" Rong Li said.

"I was stabbed by you!" Li Shuang waved his hands again and again, "It's not easy for me to arrest people now!"

"Then go back to the yamen and call for help," Rong Li said.

"If I really want to go back to the yamen to call someone, I'll be punished by Mr. Bao, and you will inevitably be involved, and you will still be punished for being involved in the fake fairy painting," Li Shuang said.

"The real culprits have been arrested, why are we still involved?" Rong Tianding said unwillingly, "I'm just selling a few paintings!"

"On a small scale, you are defrauding people and money by using ghosts to sell paintings. On a serious scale, you are beguiling the people and disrupting order, and beheading is not an exaggeration." Li Shuang said with a smile: "You are lucky to be the head of the family." He has some status in Rongcheng, so he has not fallen to the point of direct execution!"

He intimidated Rong Tianding, and held Rong Li up again, making Rong Li's face slightly full for a while.

Although the Rong family is only in the business of slaughtering pigs, Rong Li can say that at least half of the people in Rongcheng have eaten the pork they sell.

This allows everyone not to look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, at least not to go too far.

Now it is also a matter of tacit agreement.

They helped the yamen settle the murder case, and the yamen didn't say anything, just let Rong Tianding sell the fake paintings.

As long as Rong Tianding doesn't add fuel to the flames when he is haunted, the Yamen can even turn a blind eye to Rong Tianding's sale of fairy paintings in the future.

Li Shuang and Rong Li exchanged in low voices, and they had a general understanding of the situation.

"We can do our best, but we are just butchers. We don't have the law enforcement power of the yamen. I'm afraid that arresting Wang Baoli directly will cause public outrage," Rong Li said with a frown.

"Not only do we need to arrest Wang Baoli, but we also need to put an end to this haunting." Li Shuang said with a headache, "How to convince the villagers that there are no ghosts in Longmen Village is the most difficult thing that Wang Baoli did!"

"It's impossible for Wang Baoli to take away so many pigs and cows, right?" Zhang Xuezhou asked suspiciously, "How do you make the villagers believe such things?"

"I heard from my master that the person who took away the pigs and cows was a big man." Li Shuangdao said, "When he led people passing by, he took the villagers' pigs and cows as a tooth sacrifice. Now he has sent a sum of money as compensation, and it will be delivered by the yamen soon." Disaster relief in Longmen Village."

"This is really..."

Zhang Xuezhou was speechless for a while.

What caused panic in Longmen Village and panic in Rongcheng was actually just a random thing done by a certain big shot.

At one moment, he was amazed by the great damage to order by the big shots, and at the same time he felt dissatisfied with this big shot.

Obviously, they only need to pay for the purchase, but they chose to take it without telling them, which caused panic around them, and finally involved them, making them have to do the finishing touches.

The difficulty of sweeping the tail is obviously very high.

The arrest of Li Shuang pretending to be a ghost failed, and this kind of thing is very difficult to repeat.

As Li Shuang said, one 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 the dogs will tell the truth if they fail.

Everyone discussed for a while, and Zhang Xuezhou hesitated to ask after some blind discussion to no avail.

"You said we should catch Wang Baoli as a ghost?"

On the one hand, to dispel the rumors of ghosts, one must catch a ghost or fool around.

On the other hand, Wang Baoli must be arrested.

It is extremely difficult for everyone to work separately to complete the two tasks. Zhang Xuezhou proposed another possibility.

"As long as we believe that Wang Baoli is possessed by a water ghost, we will definitely be able to catch him and get the villagers to cooperate!"

Considering that Taoist Mu used 'ghost possession' to manipulate his own body, Zhang Xuezhou inevitably followed suit and planned to operate on Wang Baoli once.

It's just that Taoist Mu is really capable, while they are messing 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.

"Scholars' brains are fast!"

Li Shuang sighed in admiration.

Warriors think simple, and they don't use their brains to cut things with knives.

And the literati have too many twists and turns.

Li Shuang only felt that the minds of these members of the Rong family were too complicated when they were studying, and they were far less simple than when they were selling pigs.

"Cousin, it's time for you to show off the power of fairy painting," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Cousin, it's easy to go wrong if we go on like this." Rong Tian Ding said sadly: "I feel that things seem to be getting bigger and bigger!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't do it, anyway, it's not me who was beaten," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand.

"Go, go, catch the water ghost!"

Reminded by Zhang Xuezhou, Rong Tianding lost his hesitation when he thought of the ten sticks he had in the Yamen.

"Let's do a ritual..."

Zhang Xuezhou came up with a crooked idea, and immediately made Rong Tianding nod repeatedly.

What other people can't do, Rong Tianding can do it.

As a painter of fairy paintings, Rong Tianding's ability to catch ghosts is normal.

Although Rong Tianding is not as famous as Taoist Mu, everyone at least knows that he can paint fairy paintings and has a certain relationship with gods.

As long as someone believes in it, things will be fine.

Rong Tianding walked out with a look of excitement, followed by Zhang Xuezhou, ready to fight.

"Old Jia, you are really good at promoting the Feng Shui of our Rong family!"

Seeing the two well-behaved pig-killing heirs turn into two little liars, Rong Li felt that this was all taught by the scholar Jia Zhiyuan.

"I shouldn't have chosen you blindly back then. If I didn't choose you, I would have found an honest man. The cubs born by an honest man must be honest, and they would follow me to kill pigs honestly..."

Rong Li talked about Jia Zhiyuan as usual, and waited until Rong Tianding greeted "folks" loudly before Rong Li walked out depressed.
