Chapter 083

"Old man, to be honest, we lived in this house and found some clues. It seems that the Chen family was murdered by someone." Lin Hong said.

"Oh?" The man looked at Lin Hong, "Tell me in detail."

Lin Hong didn't avoid his gaze, "I thought it was Chen Guanren's enemy who did it." After Lin Hong finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. What if this "enemy" is the person in front of him... It's a trivial matter if he doesn't get the answer he wants , Killing and silencing is a big deal...

The man laughed after hearing this, "You're a 'dandy', he's just trying to trick me!"

Lin Hong observed the words and expressions, and knew that he had nothing to do with this person, so he grinned like a canine, with a look of ignorance, "The three tiles and two alleys I walked through are not less than when the old man was young, right?"

The man raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "I'm curious which family's noble son you are, so capable."

Lin Hong made a bow with a smile, "A family of merchants dare not be honored." (Note 1)

"That is also the son of a rich family." The man smiled, "Which family do you think is an enemy, you might as well tell me."

"I want to hear about the past between Chen Guanren and Feng Shui Li's family." Lin Hong strikes while the iron is hot.

The man was silent for a while, "I was rightly asked by you as soon as I came here."

"Appreciate further details."

The man looked at Chen's mansion, "I still remember that night, when I came back from hunting, I was riding a horse drunk in the capital. Chen Chizheng shot a passerby with his bow, and the old man Li was killed on the spot."

"..." Lin Hong suddenly felt that he was ashamed of the man's "Young and frivolous like you" just now...

Listening to the man's words, Wan Guchuan thought that this old Li family who was shot dead by Chen Bingchun should be Li Tiancheng's father.

"At that time, the court was full of smog, and such a big event was suppressed by him." The man stroked his beard and fell into memory.

Lin Hong thought in his heart, the revenge of killing his father, the murderer is still at large, this hatred is big enough...

"Chen Bingchun didn't know how to restrain himself. Later, he robbed a few girls on the mountain... a few... I'm old, I can't remember, he played too much, too much..." The man drew his voice, as if Regret seems to be accusing.

"Several girls died, and only the girl from the Li family survived. It's a pity that she was poisoned and dumb, and her legs were broken. She is useless, alas..."

Li Qingshuang!So, so her legs, her voice... It turned out that Chen Bingchun did it!

After Lin Hong listened to it, he felt that the man's poem had already revealed Chen Bingchun's evil deeds.

"Laughing and throwing a longbow to a flying bird, and riding a horse on Chang'an Road drunk" should be the one who shot and killed the old man of the Li family.

And "everyone in the world is a cow, but I am the only one who rides on the hub of the sun" means that he despises human life.

"Did he get away with such a heinous crime?" Lin Hong couldn't listen anymore.

The man smiled contemptuously, "Yes. I've had enough too, so I broke up with him. Afterwards, he read a copy of me in the court... That factional dispute killed a lot of people... "

Killing his father and bullying his daughter, but he retreated completely. He was proud of the officialdom and business, Lin Hong suddenly felt that if he were Li Tiancheng, he would do everything possible to kill him.

Lin Hong thought of those twelve maidservants again, probably because of revenge?There are also Mrs. Chen, Miss Chen... and Chi Yu.

"Does the old man know that Li Tiancheng showed him the Feng Shui of this house?" Lin Hong asked.

"I know." The man said, "I originally thought that Li Tiancheng was going to tamper with Fengshui, but I didn't expect that the house was built, but it was a good Fengshui with no loopholes, which really puzzled me."

"Why doesn't Chen Bingchun know about things that the old man knows even in the capital?" Lin Hong couldn't figure it out. Since there was such a big hatred, why did Chen Bingchun ask Li Tiancheng to show him Feng Shui, not afraid that Li Tiancheng would harm him?

The man said: "He doesn't care who he killed at all - as long as it's not a royal relative, he won't ask. Anyway, there are plenty of people in the court who have settled for him."

Therefore, Chen Bingchun was so arrogant that he didn't care who he killed, and he didn't know that he and the Li family had become enemies, so he agreed with Li Tian to choose a site for him to build a house.

"How? Has the young master solved the case?" the man asked him.

Lin Hong shrugged, "It's too difficult, I'd better continue being a dude."

The man laughed, and looked at the plaque again, "It doesn't matter to me if I have any kindness or hatred. When I pass by here, I think of my old friend, so come and have a look."

Lin Hong felt that this must be a big shot.

"'Youth can be geometric, and youth can be geometric. The beard and cyanotic hair can be seen as bo.'" (Note 2) The man got in the car and left.

Lin Hong watched the carriage go away slowly, feeling that the matter was very clear.

"Where's that lord?! Where's that lord?!" The pawn shop owner hurried over, out of breath from exhaustion.

Lin Hong looked at him, pointed to the direction where the man left just now, "Let's go."

"Ah!?" The owner of the pawn shop was startled, but immediately disappointed again, "I heard that an adult from the capital was asking about the Chen family, I thought he was going to buy it! Damn! I was so happy."

"Really?" Lin Hong tilted his head, "He didn't mean that."

"Did he say anything?" asked the pawnbroker.

Lin Hong spread his hands, "I didn't say anything. When we came back, we saw a car butt. I didn't know he was an adult from the capital until you told me."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't buy it." The owner of the pawn shop wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked at Lin Hong with a smile on his face again. "How are you guys living? Is there anything else you need?"

"It's good. I don't need anything. Everything I need has been delivered." Lin Hong said with a pun.

The owner of the pawn shop didn't seem to understand what he meant, and smiled happily, "That's good, that's good!"

"It's really good." Lin Hong said sincerely.

"If you have any needs, just ask me, and if you have any questions, just ask me!" The pawnshop owner said enthusiastically.

"It's time to work." Lin Hong echoed.

The pawn shop made a bow, "If you guys are fine, I'll take my leave first."

"Go slowly," Lin Hong looked at his back, smiled, and added a title: "Boss Li."

The pawn shop owner stopped and looked back.

The alley was too dark, Lin Hong couldn't see his expression clearly...

Lin Hong didn't get any response, and the owner of the pawn shop turned and left.

"Why did you call him Boss Li!" Duan Yu was shocked, "He doesn't seem to have mentioned his last name—do you suspect it's him?"

"Yes." Lin Hong said, "I think he was the person who was hiding in the Chen family before. We have also said that the person hiding in the Chen family must be Li Qingshuang's relatives."

"Why him?" Duan Yu scratched his head.

"He has been misleading us." Wan Guchuan, who had been thinking, said.

"I think so too." Lin Hong agreed.

"How?" Duan Yu frowned.

Lin Hongdao: "First, when we wanted to stay, he knew that as long as we stayed, he would know the past of the Chen family no matter what, so he told us directly, and kept making us believe that it was God's punishment. This, I mentioned earlier been."

"Secondly, he told us the number of servants in the Chen family. We also deduced that he destroyed the record book before—the reason is that he wanted to cover up his involvement in the servants."

"Thirdly, the house deed is in his hands, not because he didn't know it when he first arrived, but because he was afraid that some evidence that he hadn't cleaned up would be missed, so he bought the house and cleaned it up."

"Fourth, Li Qingshuang has never had a hard life, presumably his relationship with Li Qingshuang has a long history, and he has enough motivation."

"But but! If he was from the Li family, would everyone not recognize him?" Duan Yu tried hard to find a flaw.

Wan Guchuan said: "He can infiltrate the Chen family without being discovered, that means he has his own way of disguising himself."

"Then...then we have no way of guessing whether he is Li Qingshuang's father or husband! Although there is an age difference, we can't rule out that, so why call him 'Boss Li'." Duan Yu said.

Lin Hong answered him, "Li Qingshuang's son's surname is Li. If the owner of the pawn shop is her husband, is it wrong for me to call him 'Boss Li'? If he is Li Tiancheng, it is even more correct to be called 'Boss Li'?"

"Li Qingshuang's son may take his mother's surname!" Duan Yu said confidently.

Lin Hong said: "If the son takes the mother's surname, the relationship between husband and wife should not be very harmonious. They will avenge her family and then hide their names and pretend to be someone else?"

Duan Yu could not refute.

"Besides, I think it is more likely that he is Li Tiancheng." Lin Hong said, "Because there is still a layer of revenge for killing his father."

"It makes sense." Duan Yu yielded.

"Miss Chen is not human." Wan Guchuan said suddenly.

"Why are you still swearing?" Lin Hong looked at him in disbelief.

Wan Guchuan: "..."

"I mean, she is not alive, she is already dead." Wan Guchuan said.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

Lin Hong: "..."

Wan Guchuan: "..."

Lin Hong rubbed his ears and asked Wan Guchuan, "How do you say?"

Wan Guchuan said: "When we mentioned to the pawnbroker that there was a woman in the house, he didn't take any action, probably because he didn't believe it—how could a person who had been killed by him appear?"

"At that time, he probably thought we were lying to him. He didn't know how much we knew, so he simply told us everything. Moreover, a crazy person made the theory of Feng Shui even more mysterious."

"It makes sense!" Lin Hong woke up.Poor Ms. Chen pretended to be crazy but she couldn't escape...

"There is another explanation," Wan Guchuan said, "on the second day of the rat swarm, the pawnshop owner mentioned that the neighbors heard rats screaming. Without knowing it, he can justify himself; and we happened to meet in real life, and he led us away."

Lin Hong thought about it, and it was true.People in the world of complaining ghosts are all in the world of complaining ghosts without knowing it. If this is not the world of complaining ghosts, then they would not have encountered the rat tide back then. The owner of the pawnshop mentioned that when the neighbor heard the rats , They will only be at a loss. At this time, the pawnshop owner can frighten them with extravagant hype, and the theory of Feng Shui is even more mysterious.

Lin Hong said: "Does this mean that this world of grieving ghosts was not created by the pawnshop owner?" According to previous experience, most of the grieving ghosts are self-aware in their own world—except for the monk Xuanguang who is too devoted and Huangquanlu. that time.

"It's not his." Wan Guchuan said, "It's Miss Chen's."

Duan Yu: "! Ah..."

Lin Hong covered his mouth.

Duan Yu: "...

"No wonder, she disappeared and reappeared out of thin air—there is no place to hide people so deeply, she also has to eat and go to the toilet!" Lin Hong said.

Lin Hong thought of the figure that only he could see in the night, and the person who was spying on them at the window... "No wonder I always feel that the Chen family hides Li Tiancheng's ghost—that's what she imagined! A The person who came back from the dead hides in the Chen family like a ghost, and only she can see it. So the 'person' in the courtyard is just a phantom! And this 'person' back then is the current pawnshop owner!"

Lin Hong also remembered that Ms. Chen kicked over Li Qingshuang's soup—was she trying to save them?including that note...

Wan Guchuan nodded, "The person hiding in the Chen family is more likely to be the 'hanged' Li Tiancheng. He faked his death to confuse the public, sneaked into the Chen family's Feng Shui to kill people, and made the world think it was a punishment from God."

Lin Hong agrees.

Duan Yu whispered: "It may also be Li Qingshuang's husband."

No one cares about him.

Things have been pieced together.

Li Tiancheng hated Chen Bingchun deeply because of his hatred of killing his father and bullying his daughter. However, Chen Bingchun's power in the court failed to avenge him.

Later, he happened to meet Chen Bingchun and transferred him to Ren Xicheng, and also recruited Fengshui masters to choose a site to build a house.This is his perfect opportunity for revenge, so the Feng Shui master, who has been closed all the year round, volunteered to build an impeccable house with his life's knowledge, allowing Chen Bingchun to live in it with peace of mind, and clearing himself of the suspicion and "scourge" Said to have done enough foreshadowing.

With the help of Li Qingshuang, he hanged himself and feigned death in the name of people accusing him of "love vanity" and "chasing fame and fortune".

Afterwards, he infiltrated the servants of the Chen family pretending to be ghosts, cooperating with Li Qingshuang and committing murders.

Then he turned into a pawnshop owner to make a living, secretly supported Li Qingshuang, and bought the house.

"Li Tiancheng came here just now, probably because he was afraid that this visitor from the capital would reveal something." Lin Hong said.

"Then what should we do next?" Duan Yu asked.

Lin Hong suddenly remembered the note given by Miss Chen, and said, "Wait for him."

The author has something to say:

Note 1: expensive: high-ranking officials and dignitaries

Fu: Wealthy family, here refers to the family of merchants, Lin Hong's family is in business, not expensive but rich.

Note 2: Zhao Mengjian's "Youth Can Geometry"
