The officer immediately stopped his hand and said respectfully: "Master Xia."

Ye Caitang stood firm and raised his head, only to see that this man was dressed obviously different from the yamen servant. He was tall and majestic, looked talented, young and impressive. The yamen servant called Mr. Xia so respectfully, which showed that his status was not low.

Xia Yue looked at Ye Caitang: "Are you a family member of the victim Lin Ling?"

"Yes." Ye Caitang said immediately: "I am her sister."

Although they have different fathers and different mothers, they are like sisters. The most important thing is that Lin's mother is in a state of collapse and has no intention of dealing with anything.

Xia Yue nodded: "I am Xia Yue, the head catcher of the Six Gates. Come with me. I have a few questions to ask you."

Ye Caitang comforted Lin's mother and went back to prepare for Lin Ling's funeral, and followed Xia Yue to a study.

Unfortunately, there was no place for her to sit in the study. Xia Yue closed the door and had no intention of pouring her a cup of tea. He said directly: "I want to ask you, is there anything different about Lin Ling from ordinary people?"

Ye Caitang was confused by this question: "What's the difference?"

Xia Yue said with a straight face: "I'm asking you, are you asking me?"

"Oh." Ye Caitang thought carefully: "No, it's quite normal. Which aspect are you specifically referring to?"

Xia Yue pondered for a moment and said: "For example, have you ever heard that she encountered any strange events, such as encountering ghosts and evil spirits?"

Ye Caitang's heart skipped a beat: "Is Lin Ling's death related to being sneaky?"

Xia Yue's face darkened: "You don't need to know too much, just say what you have to say."

Saying this is an acquiescence. No wonder Lin Ling was sent to the sixth door.

Ye Caitang said bravely: "Sir, I was present when Lin Ling died. It's indeed a bit strange, but if you ask me this, is there any hidden secret?"

Xia Yue's face darkened.

Before Xia Yue could get angry, Ye Caitang added: "First, I understand that the case must be kept confidential. No matter what the cause of death is, I will never say a word to anyone until the government has investigated clearly."

"Second, if I know the cause and effect, I will have a clear direction and it will be easier to remember abnormal situations."

Xia Yue met many family members of the victims, but most of them were so frightened that they couldn't even speak properly after entering the sixth door. There has never been anyone like Ye Caitang who could explain things to him in a clear and logical manner first and second.

.

The key is that what she said makes perfect sense, especially the second point.

Xia Yue said slowly: "The deceased Lin Ling was hanged by ghosts."

Although Ye Caitang had already prepared himself mentally and made various guesses, he was still stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How is it possible?"

Xia Yue asked back: "Since you were at the scene, didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

"No." Ye Caitang said resolutely: "It's impossible. Although I don't understand it, I don't believe that ghosts kill people."

This time Xia Yue didn't say anything more, but said: "You don't need to believe it or not. Whatever I ask you, you just need to tell the truth."

Ye Caitang slowly shook his head: "No, everything is normal in Lin Ling."

Xia Yue just looked at Ye Caitang.

Ye Caitang had no choice but to think about it again and confirmed: "No, I don't have yin and yang eyes, I haven't seen ghosts, I haven't encountered evil spirits, I don't worship random things at home, and I haven't learned any witchcraft or magic."

She was a little speechless about Liumen at this time. A yamen that claimed to specialize in solving major cases did not investigate the case after the victim died, and asked her if she had seen ghosts. If this was in their police station, this would definitely be the case.

The one who was complained about and wrote a review.

"Okay, I understand." Xia Yue opened the door: "You can go."

"Wait, wait." Ye Caitang said quickly: "Master Xia, can you let me see the body of the deceased?"

"no."

Ye Caitang explained: "My father is a liar, and I understand it. I'm not blindly looking at it."

Xia Yue glanced at her with obvious surprise, but still said: "No."

"Sir, please let me take a look." Ye Caitang scratched the door frame and said, "Just take a look. I don't believe she was killed by a ghost. Wherever there is a ghost in the world, it must be a human being."

Then Ye Caitang was kicked out.

Ye Caitang went home, changed his clothes, sat in the room for a while, looked at the darkening sky, stood up resolutely, and walked forward quickly.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this thing was indeed weird.

The Meng family is a big, down-and-out family in the capital. The abandoned old house occupies a large area and was once glorious. It was recently sold. The buyer hired many people to do some rough cleaning first.

Lin Ling has been working there these days, and most of the other workers are from the village. She is also one of them.

The people who cleaned the lotus pond and corridor with Lin Ling were all from the same village, and I had never heard of any major conflicts.

Moreover, murder is a very private matter, because if you are caught, your head will be lost, so there may be many victims of the murder, and the murderer is often the same, but if there is more than one person, there will be mutual suspicion.

Unless they have very serious common interests, it is rare for groups to commit crimes.

If it was true that those five people wanted to kill Lin Ling for some reason, it would be more feasible to create an incident in which she accidentally fell into the water and was killed, instead of this kind of ghost murder that would be taken more seriously.

The case had just been released in the afternoon, when all the evidence traces were the freshest and clearest. She couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't put her hope in the six doors. If they couldn't find it out, a ghost would come to kill someone and just ask someone to do a ritual.

What about closing the case?

Judging from Xia Yue's attitude, he is vague and secretive. The most important thing in the capital is maintaining stability. What can't the six doors do?

But Lin Ling's body was inside the six-door Yamen, and she knew she had no way to get in. The only place she could go now was the crime scene.

I hope the heavy rain in the afternoon will not wash away all traces.

Ye Caitang touched his purse, found a grocery store and bought a dagger to take with him. He also bought a lantern and put in a few candles.

She sighed. It was really inconvenient in this day and age, but there was nothing we could do about it.

Moreover, she is still poor and has no choice.

When we arrived at the Meng family's old house, it was already dark.

She opened the door and went in. No one was there.

The door, which was ajar, let out a long, tooth-piercing creak and was pushed open.

Among the messy and broken rubble, Ye Caitang slowly walked in carrying a lantern.

Enter through the main gate, pass through the second gate, pass through a small garden, and walk through the corridor to the lotus pond.

It has been uninhabited for a long time, and no matter how beautiful the garden is, it has become deserted, overgrown with weeds and hanging vines, but the rockery is still there, showing its teeth and claws in the dim moonlight and lantern candlelight, like a monster.

Just as Ye Caitang was about to turn around the rockery, suddenly the courtyard door opened again, and a burst of footsteps came from outside.

In the quiet night, this sound is particularly obvious.

Ye Caitang was startled and quickly blew out the candle and hid next to the rockery.

There is no one to guard this house at night. It is so abandoned and there is nothing of value. Even if it is being cleaned recently, the workers leave early and come back late. No one dares to come at night.
