The ghost is not gone
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in a remote town east of Qingzhou Prefecture, there was a rich man named Zhao Decai. Although he has a lot of wealth, he is not benevolent to the rich, and often oppresses the people, and the people in the town dare not speak out against him.
In the evening of that day, Zhao Decai came back from drinking in the county seat, and was drunkenly lying on a rattan chair in the courtyard, humming a little song, which was very comfortable.
At this time, he saw a young maid ring passing in front of him, and an evil thought suddenly surged in his heart. This girl's name is Xiaolian, which was just bought by Zhao Decai half a year ago, and she looks very smart. Zhao Decai stared at Xiaolian with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xiaolian was furious by Zhao Decai's eyes, she lowered her head, quickened her pace and wanted to leave. But Zhao Decai suddenly stood up from the rattan chair and grabbed her wrist. Xiaolian was so frightened that she lost her face and struggled to break free of Zhao Decai's hand, but where was her strength comparable to that of a big man?
Zhao Decai smiled and dragged Xiaolian into the house. Xiaolian knew what would happen next, she cried and begged for mercy, but Zhao Decai was like crazy and didn't listen to her pleas at all.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the corner of the wall, and immediately after, a terrible scream sounded. Zhao Decai only felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw a bloody knife wound bubbling out. His eyes widened, he looked ahead in disbelief, and slowly fell to the ground.
Xiaolian was also stunned by this sudden scene, she saw Zhao Decai fall to the ground, blood still gushing out of her chest, she screamed in fright and fainted.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in bed, and the room was already full of people. It turned out that the news of Zhao Decai's murder had spread throughout the town, and people in the town rushed to check the situation.
Xiaolian, as the only witness at the scene, naturally became the object of suspicion. Especially Zhao Decai's wife, she insisted that Xiaolian was in revenge for Zhao Decai's oppression.
Xiaolian couldn't argue, so she could only cry over and over again to express her grievances. Under the coercion and temptation of Mrs. Zhao, Xiaolian was forced to confess her crime of killing Zhao Decai.
Just when Xiaolian was about to be escorted to the official mansion, a young catcher quickly stood up. His name is Li Fei, and he is a well-known detective in the county. After carefully examining the situation at the scene, he found something strange.
First of all, although Zhao Decai oppressed the people, he was a figure with a head and a face after all, and he was athletic, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get close. Secondly, the fatal knife was very neat, and it was clearly the work of a professional killer. The most important thing is that Xiaolian, a weak woman, how could she kill Zhao Decai in front of everyone and retreat?
Li Fei felt that there must be something strange in this, and he decided to investigate the clues of this matter himself. After some investigation and covert visits, he finally found an important suspect - Zhao Decai's personal servant Zhang San.
Zhang San was originally a nobody on the rivers and lakes, but later took refuge in Zhao Decai and became his personal servant. Zhao Decai trusted Zhang San very much, almost to the point of obeying his words. And Zhang San also relied on Zhao Decai's power to make a fortune in the town, bullying men and women.
Li Fei investigated and learned that there was an unclear relationship between Zhang San and Xiaolian. He suspected that Zhang San teamed up with outsiders to kill Zhao Decai in order to get Xiaolian. But when he found Zhang San, he found that Zhang San had been killed at home.
Li Fei realized that there were more complex forces behind this case. He decided to continue the in-depth investigation and clear the innocent Xiaolian's grievances.
After some arduous investigation, Li Fei finally found the real murderer - a mysterious killer organization named the Man in Black. It turned out that Zhao Decai had offended this organization during his lifetime, and in order to retaliate against Zhao Decai, they sent killers to kill him.
And Zhang San, as Zhao Decai's personal servant, naturally became their target. In order to cover up the truth, the man in black deliberately laid a puzzle and blamed Xiaolian for the crime.
After Li Fei made the truth public, everyone felt sorry for Xiaolian's grievances. Mrs. Zhao also knew that she had wrongly blamed Xiaolian, and she personally apologized to Xiaolian and released her.
Xiaolian left the Zhao family with tears in her eyes and started her life again. And Li Fei also became famous because he successfully solved this bizarre murder case and became a famous detective in Qingzhou Mansion.
Although the case is over, it has left a profound lesson for the townspeople. They realized that wealth and power were no excuse for oppressing the people, and that only justice and justice could convince people.
Since then, the people of the town have become more united and friendly, helping each other, and jointly creating a harmonious and beautiful home. And Xiaolian also won the respect and love of everyone with her diligence and kindness, and lived a happy life.
In the days that followed, Li Fei continued to uphold the belief in fairness and justice, and solved cases for the people. His deeds spread throughout Qingzhou Mansion and became a hero in people's hearts.
And the Zhao family, who was once a party to the disaster, also gradually declined after Zhao Decai's death. Mrs. Zhao learned from the pain, began to repent and reformed, and used the remaining family wealth to do many good deeds, hoping to make up for her husband's mistakes during his lifetime.
This bizarre murder finally came to a successful conclusion. But the revelation it leaves is profound: there is no absolute power and wealth in this world that allows people to do whatever they want. Only by sticking to the goodness and justice of the heart can we win the respect and trust of others. The ghost is not gone
Just when people thought that everything had settled and Xiaolian had started a new life, another bizarre thing happened in the town.
Late one night, there was a sudden terrible cry from the town, a sharp and mournful voice, as if it had come from underground. People were awakened by the cry and went out of their homes to check on the situation. found that the cry came from the Zhao family's old house.
The Zhao family's old mansion has been vacant since Zhao Decai's death, and no one dares to enter it. At this moment, the door of the old mansion is closed, but the windows are shining with a faint green light, which looks extremely strange.
Everyone talked about it, some people said that Zhao Decai's unjust soul came back to make trouble, and some people said that Xiaolian's grievances were unresolved. At this moment, Li Fei rushed to hear the news. When he saw the scene in front of him, his brows tightened, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
Li Fei decided to personally enter the Zhao family's old mansion to investigate the situation. He pushed open the door and walked inside. A cold wind rushed towards him, and he couldn't help but shiver.
It was pitch black inside the old house, and only the faint green light wandered around. Li Fei took out the fire fold and lit the candle, and looked around by the faint candlelight. He found that the furniture in the old mansion was covered with thick dust, and it was clear that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
He walked in step by step, and suddenly, a terrible cry sounded again, and then a gust of wind blew, and the candle was instantly extinguished. Li Fei only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and he subconsciously pulled out the saber at his waist and looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from the corner of the wall. Li Fei quickly chased after him, only to find that the black shadow had disappeared without a trace. He felt a pang in his heart, and realized that there was something strange in this old mansion.
He decides to follow the clues and solve the mystery for the townspeople. After some careful searching, Li Fei finally found a yellowed ledger in a secret room in the old mansion. The ledger records Zhao Decai's transactions with the Men in Black organization during his lifetime, as well as how he used his power to oppress the people and accumulate unscrupulous crimes.
Li Fei realized that this ledger was evidence of Zhao Decai's crime. He took the ledger back to the county seat and handed it over to the government. After investigation and verification, the government confirmed Zhao Decai's crime and confiscated all his family property for relief and the construction of a school.
And Zhao Decai's grievances were also calmed down because the evidence of the crime was revealed. The townspeople never heard the terrible cry again, and the old house returned to its former tranquility.
When Xiaolian learned all this, she was full of emotion. She thanked Li Fei for clearing her grievances, and was also relieved that Zhao Decai's crime had been duly punished. She decided to create a happy life with her own hands and pass on this kindness and justice.
Li Fei has also been admired and praised by people for successfully solving this mystery. He continued to uphold the belief of fairness and justice, solved cases for the people, and became a famous detective in Qingzhou Mansion.
This bizarre murder case was finally solved satisfactorily. But the revelation it leaves is profound: there is no absolute power and wealth in this world that allows people to do whatever they want. Only by sticking to the goodness and justice of the heart can we win the respect and trust of others. And those who have committed crimes will eventually be punished.
