Chapter 4 confirmed the murderer/culprit 第4章确认真凶 Pockmarked Li is 43-year-old this year, in home second, because on the face was covered with the person with a pockmarked face, was called Pockmarked Li, the real name had forgotten by everyone, because of appearance strange ugly, in addition idles about, in the family/home said to him many marriages, no families are willing to betroth the unmarried girl to Pockmarked Li. 李二麻子今年四十有三,在家中排行第二,因为脸上长满了麻子,被人称为李二麻子,真名已经被大家遗忘了,因为长相奇丑,再加上游手好闲,家里给他说了多门亲事,没有哪户人家愿意把闺女许配给李二麻子。 After the Pockmarked Li parents passed away, no one managed him, Pockmarked Li handled affairs unscrupulously. 李二麻子的爹娘去世后,就没有人管他了,李二麻子行事更加肆无忌惮。 He eats to the full in any case, entire family is not hungry, works does not have so many scruples, is hooligan rascal who on Wang Family town becomes famous. 反正他一人吃饱,全家不饿,做事也就没有那么多顾忌,是王家镇上出了名的泼皮无赖。 Wang Family town over 90% common people are surnamed Wang, the female family members who Pockmarked Li does not dare to provoke the Wang Family clansman, then reached the orphan widowed mother of a different surname the evil clutches, young pretty Xiaofeng a lot by mistreatment of Pockmarked Li. 王家镇九成以上的百姓都姓王,李二麻子不敢招惹王家族人的女眷,便把魔爪伸向了异姓的孤儿寡母,年轻貌美的小凤没少遭李二麻子的欺负。 Pockmarked Li has the intention but not the guts, in addition the restraint of Wang Family clansman, Pockmarked Li does not dare to act sloppily. 李二麻子有贼心没贼胆,再加上王家族人的约束,李二麻子也不敢胡来。 After Xiaofeng is missing, the bailiff looks for Pockmarked Li to ask several words, Wang Changsheng asks Xiaofeng matter, this caused the illness of Pockmarked Li. 小凤失踪后,捕快找李二麻子问过几次话,王长生一开口询问小凤的事情,这才引起了李二麻子的不适。 „When do you see Xiaofeng for the last time are? Recently in your family did do you have strange matter happen? Except for peeping Xiaofeng takes a bath, your has do you have also handled the excessive matter to Xiaofeng?” “你最后一次见到小凤是什么时候？最近你家里有没有奇怪的事情发生？除了偷看小凤洗澡,你还有没有对小凤做过过分的事情？” The Wang Changsheng first even/including raises three issues, the vision is fixing the eyes on Pockmarked Li. 王长生一连抛出三个问题,目光紧盯着李二麻子。 The people have three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, generally, after the person dies, three immortal souls and seven mortal forms will dissipate slowly, Xiaofeng her mother starved to death, the corpse also burnt down, turns into the probability of ghost to be very low, in comparison, missing Xiaofeng turns into the ghost probability to be bigger. 人有三魂七魄,一般情况下,人死后,三魂七魄会慢慢消散,小凤她娘是被饿死的,尸体也烧掉了,变成鬼的几率很低,相比之下,失踪的小凤变成鬼物的几率更大。 People before dying , if there is resentment, the corpse loses in the gloomy abundant place, after dying, has very big probability to become the ghost. 人在死前若是有怨气,尸体又丢在阴气充沛的地方,死后有很大的几率变成鬼。 Xiaofeng young pretty, if were humiliated by the man lethal, definitely has the resentment, turns into the ghost probability to be very big. 小凤年轻貌美,如果被男人凌辱致死,肯定存有怨气,变成鬼物的几率很大。 Wang Changsheng has not guessed that the wrong words, the Xiaofeng affirmation has been murdered, this has not gone back to give her mother to prepare food to eat, causing her mother to starve to death. 王长生没有猜错的话,小凤肯定已经遇害了,这才没有回去给她娘做饭吃,导致她娘饿死。 „A month ago! Noon passed by her tofu booth, bought a legume flower to eat, as for my family/home, no strange matter happened, I peeped she to take a bath, has not handled other things, she was missing with me are not related.” “一个多月前吧！晌午路过她的豆腐摊,买了一点豆花吃,至于我的家里,没什么奇怪的事情发生,我就偷看过她洗澡,没做过其他事情,她失踪跟我没关系。” „Was you killed Xiaofeng, corpse conceals where?” Wang Changsheng complexion one cold, shouted loudly. “是不是你杀了小凤,把尸体藏在哪里了？”王长生脸色一冷,大声喝道。 Pockmarked Li listened to this saying, like like ants on a heated pan same irritable, argued: „By heaven and earth and my conscience! My Pockmarked Li does not dare to kill the chicken, my where dares to kill people, you cannot throw toward me on this filthy water.” 李二麻子听了这话,如同热锅上的蚂蚁一样的急躁,辩解道:“天地良心啊！我李二麻子连鸡都不敢杀,我哪里敢杀人,你们可不能把这个脏水往我身上泼。” „Snort, you also dare to lie, previous time you midnight run up to the Xiaofeng home, Xiaofeng yells, perhaps was spoiled by you, definitely was you killed Xiaofeng, said quickly, so as to avoid suffered the physical suffering.” Saying of Wang Tianhu devils. “哼,你还敢撒谎,上次你半夜跑到小凤家里,要不是小凤大声喊叫,恐怕就被你糟蹋了,肯定是你杀害了小凤,快说,免得遭受皮肉之苦。”王天虎凶神恶煞的说道。 Pockmarked Li hears word, complexion one white, refuted: „Black fatty, you cannot act sloppily, my Pockmarked Li kills the chicken not to dare, where I dare to kill people, my time got drunk, Xiaofeng this girl has had keen eyesight the top, perhaps she followed that pretty boy also perhaps, why buckled evil reputation above me.” 李二麻子闻言,脸色一白,反驳道:“黑胖子,你可不能胡来,我李二麻子连杀鸡都不敢,我哪敢杀人,我那次是喝醉了,小凤这个丫头眼高过顶,兴许她跟那个小白脸跑了也说不定,凭什么把屎盆子扣在我头上。” Like Pockmarked Li this bullying the weak and fearing the strong hooligan rascal, most fears in the government authorities the person. 像李二麻子这种欺软怕硬的泼皮无赖,最怕官府中人。 If he were really put in the prison, will definitely be confessed under torture. 他要是真的被抓进大牢里,肯定会被屈打成招。 „Pretty boy? Who is this person? Talks clearly.” “小白脸？这个人是谁？说清楚。” Pockmarked Li curls the lip, said: „A month ago, the Surname Zhao son of the influential passed by this place, that little child long/grows fair and clear, like the woman, does not know that what candied date that boy ate to Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng late at night with him in the alley affectionate, but was bumped into by me, snort/hum, the woman who is not concerned about face, installs aloof from worldly affairs before the father, knows with the opposite party for several days, embraces in the small lane, hasn't shut out the father not to have money?” 李二麻子撇了撇嘴,道:“一个月前,有一位赵姓的公子哥路过此地,那小子长得白白净净的,像个娘们一样,不知道那小子给小凤吃了什么蜜枣,小凤半夜三更跟他在小巷里卿卿我我,不过被我撞见了,哼,不要脸的女人,在老子面前装清高,才跟对方认识几天,就在小巷子里搂搂抱抱,还不是嫌弃老子没钱么？” „Does anyone of you know this Young Master Zhao origin? Has seen this person?” Wang Changsheng looks to Wang Qingyun, the sinking sound asks. “你们谁知道这个赵公子的来历？或者见过此人？”王长生望向王青云,沉声问道。 Wang Tianhu thinks, some indefinite saying: „Young Master Zhao? Is he belt/bring writing books child?” 王天虎想了想,有些不确定的说道:“赵公子？他是不是带着书童？” „I am not clear, but that pretty boy really has the book child, young gold/metal, the servant serves personal, no wonder Xiaofeng that girl will have a liking for that pretty boy.” “那我不清楚,不过那个小白脸确实有个书童,年少多金,还有佣人贴身伺候,难怪小凤那丫头会看上那个小白脸。” „A month ago, several taking the civil service exam Scholar pass through our Wang Family town, Surname Zhao Scholar, because that Young Master Zhao is generous, I am quite profound to his impression, but I remember they leave, without leading female family members!” The Wang Tianhu doubts said. “一个月前,有几名赶考的书生经过我们王家镇,其中就有一位赵姓的书生,因为那个赵公子出手阔绰,我对他的印象比较深刻,不过我记得他们离开的时候,没有带着女眷啊！”王天虎疑惑道。 „You determined they leave hasn't led the female family members? Does the population have the error?” “你确定他们离开的时候没带着女眷？人数有误差么？” Wang Tianhu thinks, the nod said: „I determined, the inn that they live is in the grandchild family/home opens, except for the Young Master Zhao belt/bring writing books child, other Scholar is all alones, altogether six people, they altogether stayed for three days, they leave was in the morning, is seen by grandchild exactly, being nothing more or less, was six people, on do you have as for their road took Xiaofeng, grandchild was not clear.” 王天虎想了想,点头说道:“我确定,他们住的客栈是孙儿家里开的,除了赵公子带着书童,其他书生都是孤身一人,一共六人,他们一共住了三天,他们离开的时候是早上,恰好被孙儿看到了,不多不少,就是六人,至于他们路上有没有带上小凤,孙儿就不清楚了。” „They proceed to the capital to take the civil service exam, why will delay in the town/subdues for three days?” Wang Changsheng raised the question in heart. “他们赴京赶考,为何会在镇上耽搁三天？”王长生提出了心中的疑问。 „Probably that Young Master Zhao random impressions cold, I help him invite the doctor, that Young Master Zhao is listless, lacks the strength to truss up a chicken, if Xiaofeng were killed, he should not be a murderer, he does not have the motive.” The Wang Tianhu objective analysis said. “好像是那位赵公子偶感风寒,还是我帮他请来大夫,那位赵公子病恹恹,手无缚鸡之力,如果小凤被人杀害了,他应该不是凶手,他没有作案动机。”王天虎客观的分析道。 „Right, I remembered a matter, my family Wangcai was battered to death with the stone, the unluckiness of real his mother.” Pockmarked Li added. “对了,我想起一件事,我家旺财被人用石头砸死了,真他娘的晦气。”李二麻子补充道。 „Is your family Wangcai the black dog? Unusual what for these days had?” Wang Changsheng eye pupil one bright, pursues asks. “你家旺财是不是黑狗？这几天有什么反常么？”王长生眼眸一亮,追问道。 „How you know that Wangcai is a black dog?” Pockmarked Li is somewhat surprised, thinks, said: „Wangcai is my father raises, raised for more than ten years, the tooth was about to fall out or off entirely, could not nip the person, I have not tied up it, but does not know recently what's the matter, it kept calling to the midnight, I angrily, tied up it in the firewood room, this morning discovered, it was battered to death by the stone, does not know that which fellow lacking virtue midnight ran up to my family, was battered to death Wangcai.” “你怎么知道旺财是条黑狗？”李二麻子有些惊讶,想了想,说道:“旺财是我爹养的,养了十多年了,牙齿都快掉光了,咬不了人,我也就没拴住它,不过最近不知道怎么回事,一到半夜它就叫个不停,我一气之下,就把它拴在柴房,今天早上发现,它被石头砸死了,不知道哪个缺德的家伙半夜跑到我家里,把旺财砸死了。” Listened to this saying, Wang Changsheng to determine, Xiaofeng had died, and turned into ghost to injure someone, 听了这话,王长生可以确定,小凤已经死了,并且变成鬼物害人, The dog to the Yang livestock, 12 twelve Earthly Branches five lines of correspondence is the eleventh of the twelve Earthly Branches earth, defending the earth is Yang earth, ghost is Yin, the dog restrains ghost inborn, the taoist priest often uses the black dog blood to exorcise governs the demon, Xiaofeng turns into ghost, wants to look for Pockmarked Li to revenge, but she approaches in the Pockmarked Li family/home, was discovered by the black dog, the black dog barked wildly. 狗是至阳之畜,对应的十二地支五行是戌土,戍土是阳土,鬼物属阴,狗天生克制鬼物,道士经常使用黑狗血驱邪治魔,小凤变成鬼物,想找李二麻子报仇,不过她一靠近李二麻子的家里,就被黑狗发现了,黑狗才狂吠不已。 Wang Changsheng has not guessed that the wrong words, Xiaofeng will definitely come out to injure Pockmarked Li tonight. 王长生没猜错的话,小凤今晚肯定会出来加害李二麻子。 Pockmarked Li is not a fool, saw that so many Wang Family clan elder gather , the association has the recent homicide case, somewhat anxious asking: „It is not that killer will kill Wangcai! Did he stare at me?” 李二麻子也不是笨蛋,看到这么多王家族老聚集在一起,又联想起最近的命案,有些紧张的问道:“不会是那个杀人魔杀死旺财的吧！他难道盯上我了？” Wang Changsheng shakes the head, said: „It is not, the county administration discovered a female corpse, the preliminary suspicion is Xiaofeng, asks you to come, wants to confirm that you are a murderer, now ascertained, that Young Master Zhao has big motive, you can go back, right, this matter do not publicize outward.” 王长生摇了摇头,说道:“不是,县衙发现了一具女尸,初步怀疑是小凤,找你来,是想确认你是不是凶手而已,现在问清楚了,那位赵公子有很大的作案动机,你可以回去了,对了,这件事不要对外宣扬。” Pockmarked Li always thought that some are not right, but he cannot discover the flaw in Wang Changsheng words, has not thought, turned around to leave. 李二麻子总觉得有些不对劲,可是他又找不出王长生话里的破绽,也就没有多想,转身离开了。 Kills Pockmarked Li unable to think, the killer is not a person, but is ghost. 打死李二麻子也想不到,杀人魔不是人,而是鬼物。 „Qiuxian, goes to outside to defend, cannot the miscellaneous personnel close to the ancestral temple, I have the words to with everyone confess.” Wang Changsheng told. “秋贤,去外面守着,不许闲杂人等靠近祠堂,我有话要跟大家交代。”王长生吩咐道。 „Yes, Ninth Great Uncle.” Wang Qiuxian complied with one, followed Pockmarked Li. “是,九叔公。”王秋贤应了一声,跟着李二麻子走了出去。 „Ninth Uncle, is that demoness really Xiaofeng?” Wang Qingyun asked in a low voice, in the eye full worries about the color. “九叔,那只女鬼真的是小凤么？”王青云低声问道,眼中满是担忧之色。 Wang Changsheng nods, said: „Un, I have not guessed that wrong words, she will definitely come out to injure someone tonight, informs, after the darkness, all clansmen can not go out alone, in family/home not young, tonight moves to the young many main family to live in one in the evening, families must live in eight people at least, the food and drink rubbish must in the same place . Moreover, finding the way to make this Pockmarked Li the little darling sleep tonight at home, resting more dies is better.” 王长生点头,说道:“嗯,我没猜错的话,她今晚肯定会出来害人,通知下去,天黑之后,所有族人不得独自外出,家里没有青壮的,今晚搬到青壮多的本家住一晚上,一户人家起码要住八人,吃喝拉撒都要在一起,另外,想办法让这个李二麻子今晚乖乖在家里睡大觉,睡得越死越好。” „Makes Pockmarked Li sleep like a log tonight, grandchild can accomplish, guarantees him to rest to the tomorrow's dawn does not wake.” Wang Tianhu pats the chest to guarantee saying that is confident. “让李二麻子今晚睡得死死的,孙儿可以办到,担保他睡到明天天亮都醒不过来。”王天虎拍着胸膛保证道,信心满满。 „Heard the Ninth Uncle words? Goes back to inform the clansman, according to the instruction of Ninth Uncle does strictly, declared to the outside takes strict precautions against the killer, words that Ninth Uncle spoke a moment ago, cannot leak out, if who leaks out, delayed Ninth Uncle to catch the ghost, punished mercilessly.” Wang Qingyun looks to other Wang Family clan elder, said with deep veneration. “都听到九叔的话了么？都回去通知族人,严格按照九叔的吩咐去做,对外宣称是严防杀人魔,刚才九叔说的话,一句也不许泄露出去,要是谁泄露出去,耽误了九叔抓鬼,严惩不贷。”王青云望向其他王家族老,肃然说道。 ‚Yes, three uncle.’ Wang Family clan elder full mouth complies, successively leaves. ‘是,三伯。’王家族老纷纷满口答应下来,陆续离开。 (本章完)
