Chapter 195: Case From Eight Years Ago
Liang Bing has been dead for more than a month, but the murderer didn't know what special medicine was used on his body. When it was sealed in the wall, his body did not rot and there was no smell of corpse stench.
But after the walls were torn down, the bodies began to rot, and the room began to be filled with a strong corpse smell. In addition, the windows of this wing were closed tightly, and the unpleasant smell was even more intolerable.
Wei Feng asked Jin Yiwei to carry a door panel, found a piece of cloth to cover Liang Bing's body, and then carried it outside.
Ning Chuyi had already seen that the method used to kill Liang Bing was the same as the case eight years ago.
And that case is also related to the Liang family.
When the two Liang Zhuang brothers saw Liang Bing's tragic situation, they also recalled the memories of that year.
The two brothers knelt in front of Ning Chuyi, "Please find the murderer and let the murderer of my father and third brother pay with blood."
Liangzhuang's wife and sister-in-law stared at their husbands in confusion. Why was the father-in-law involved in the death of the third brother?
Before the two married into the Liang family, their father-in-law was already gone, so the cause of his death was not clear.
Liang Zhuang's father, Liang Yu, was the head of the former Ministry of Civil Service Examination Department.
Eight years ago, he went to Lin'an County on business and was killed on his way back to Beijing.
When his body was discovered, just like Liang Bing, eleven long nails were driven into his body.
The murderer has never been found.
The local government had no choice but to submit the case to the higher authorities.
But no matter whether it is Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment, they have been investigating for many years, but they still have no clue.
The case then became an unsolved case.
Not long ago, Jin Yiwei took over.
Unexpectedly, before the murderer of Liang Yu was caught, his youngest son Liang Bing was killed by the same method.
Ling Chu couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that the murderer had great hatred for the Liang family, so he would use such a cruel method to kill the Liang family father and son.
Liang Bing's puppet soul stood aside, already confused.
Eight years ago, he had not yet had his coming-of-age ceremony. With his father as the backbone of the family and two older brothers above him, as the youngest son in the family, he has always lived as he pleased.
Although he was studying in college at that time, he didn't study very hard. He spent every day thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun with his classmates and friends.
That year, my father went to Lin'an County on business and was killed on his way back to Beijing.
When the bad news came back to the house, his mother fainted immediately.
The eldest brother and the second brother hurried to Lin'an County to deal with his father's affairs, leaving him to take care of his mother at home.
Not long after his father's body was brought back, the eldest and second brothers hurriedly buried him.
At that time, he was only concerned with sadness and grief, and he didn't even know that his father was killed in such a cruel way.
He died in the same way as his father. Could it be that the person who killed him was the murderer of his father?
Liang Bing knelt in front of Ling Chu and begged, "Please help me catch the murderer!"
Ling Chu did not nod, "I have helped your family find your body. The investigation and arrest of the murderer will be the responsibility of Jin Yiwei."
She is just a Taoist nun, she can't really take away all Jin Yiwei's work.
"But don't worry, I will try my best to help Jin Yiwei find the murderer."
Although helpless, Liang Bing also knew that this case could only be investigated by Jin Yiwei.
Over there, the Liangzhuang brothers were still pleading with Ning Chuyi to track down the murderer.
"Jinyiwei is already investigating your father's case. But it has been more than a month since Liang Bing was killed, and the murderer has already escaped.
Now that the clues have been cut off, it is not easy to catch the murderer. "
The Liangzhuang brothers were helpless, but there was no better way. Their father's case had not been cleared up for so many years.
I don’t know when the murderer will be caught.
Ling Chu happened to come over and said casually, "I roughly know the appearance of the murderer."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her.
Liang Zhuang frowned, "Taoist nun knows the murderer? Who is it? If I catch him, I will definitely make him pay with his blood."
Ling Chu shook his head, "I don't know the murderer."
"But didn't you just say that you knew the face of the murderer?"
"Yes, I just made a hexagram, so I know it."
Ning Chuyi glanced at her thoughtfully, "I wonder if Miss Ling can draw the murderer's face?"
"Of course you can." Ling Chu also wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible and add merit to his own life.
Wei Feng was overjoyed. Without waiting for Ning Chuyi's instructions, he had already gone to find pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
It took two quarters of an hour, Ling Chu drew two portraits based on Liang Bing's description.
Liang Zhuang was shocked when he saw the person on the rice paper, "Why is it a girl? This person... is that He Xiuxiu? But how could she, a weak woman with no strength, kill my third brother?"
Although the Liang family knew that the girl Liang Bing liked was named He Xiuxiu, they had never met her.
"This is indeed He Xiuxiu, but she was not the only one who killed Liang Bing."
Ling Chu handed over another portrait, "This is He Xiuying, He Xiuxiu's eldest sister."
Liang Bing still found it a bit unbelievable. Liang Bing had not liked reading since he was a child, but he liked boxing and kicking.
Although he has not seriously studied martial arts with a master, he can defeat two ordinary men.
How could the He sisters kill him? Could it be that they were actually good at martial arts?
"Liang Bing smelled of alcohol. He was probably drunk and then killed."
Ling Chu glanced at Ning Chuyi and his guess was accurate.
Liang Bing liked He Xiuxiu, but she never agreed to the marriage.
More than a month ago, Liang Bing came to see her. When he mentioned the marriage again, he didn't expect He Xiuxiu to finally agree to the marriage.
Liang Bing was so happy at that time.
When He Xiuxiu proposed to cook a table of delicious dishes for him to taste her cooking skills, he was even more happy.
Liang Bing was full of joy, waiting to go back, and then let his mother find a matchmaker to discuss the marriage.
But he didn't know that He Xiuxiu didn't really want to marry him, but just wanted to take advantage of his happiness, get him drunk, and then kill him.
Thinking of the severe pain of being nailed by those long nails, Liang Bing hated it.
At this moment, he had no joy for He Xiuxiu. He just wanted to find her and ask her what deep hatred she had with the Liang family that she wanted to kill them in such a cruel way.
Ning Chuyi asked Wei Feng to take the two portraits and find the painter to make rubbings, intending to post them on the city wall to arrest He Xiuxiu and her sister.
With such a realistic portrait, it is only a matter of time to find the murderer.
While Ning Chuyi was thanking her, Ling Chu asked him to help investigate the prince of Zhao.
She couldn't just wait for the Zhao family to propose to cancel the engagement. If she found any evidence against Zhao Jingming, she wouldn't mind using it to threaten him to cancel the engagement.
Investigating the prince of Zhao was just a small matter for the Jinyiwei, so Ning Chuyi would naturally not object.
