Hidden in the court

Chapter 186: Corpse Fraud Case

To their surprise, they got something that could allow them to enter the city. Originally, the three of them were planning to enter the city.

But it is precisely the identity of this fake monk that makes them suspicious. Are there people chasing Wang?

"By the way, big brother, you just said that the county magistrate is also in a state of panic, but have other people been killed in the past few days?"

The dead fake monk was from the Wang family, which makes people suspect that the murderer also attacked other members of the Wang family.

But the next words from the leader made them feel a little bit at a loss.

"That's not the case. It's just that two wealthy families in the county are getting married. Now something has happened, so they are arguing with each other."

"Oh, that's what it means. I'd like to hear more about it."

The captain just took a look and sighed, then began to explain to them.

"It's nothing serious. It's just a marriage between two wealthy families in this county. The girl's family probably didn't want to see the body, so they said it was their daughter's death. The other family wanted to see the body, whether alive or dead, but the girl's family refused to let them see it. It's probably not dead. But the county has been looking for it all morning. They haven't found it yet. The other family is not happy. They agreed to get married, but the bride is dead and they can't see the body. Who can they complain to? Right now, the two families are arguing in the county government office."

"Oh I got it."

Maybe we were too sensitive, and I guess the person was not dead, but was hidden by the girl's family. But it was nice to hear some gossip along the way.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the county government office, they heard the sound of beating boards, mixed with faint wailing.

Hearing the noise, the captain hurried in.

"County Magistrate Yang, what on earth is going on?"

I had only been away for a while when County Magistrate Yang's old illness came back.

When everyone looked again, they saw two old men kneeling in the hall. They seemed to be two wealthy families in the county. However, one of them was being beaten with a stick.

Magistrate Yang did not answer his question, but asked sternly: "Master Zhang, do you remember now how your daughter died?"

"Sir... stop hitting me. I just remembered that my daughter... is... a reborn corpse!"

The beaten Mr. Zhang also begged for mercy repeatedly and answered with a conflicted look on his face.

Ji Mingshang exclaimed, "Wow!" How come this county magistrate has also used the memory recovery technique, and it looks like the effect is quite good.

"Nonsense! You are not telling the truth in court. Come on, keep beating me!"

Ji Mingshang and others had the same idea as him. It was too ridiculous to pretend to be dead.

Mr. Zhang collapsed on the ground, waving his hands repeatedly: "Master Yang, this is true. You can ask everyone in the Zhang family, many of them saw it with their own eyes. That night, my daughter's body suddenly sat up. We were all shocked and ran away. When we came back later, the body was gone! It's because it's not good to fake a corpse that we dare not announce it to the public. Now you all want the body, and we really can't find it!"

Mr. Zhang was so anxious that tears came to his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It was at this time that County Magistrate Yang noticed the captain and Ji Mingshang and the other two who followed in.

"Wudutou, are these people suspects?"

Seeing that the county magistrate was about to strike the gavel again, Wu Dutou immediately stopped him and told him the whole story again.

When County Magistrate Yang saw the clothes and temperament of the three people, his aura suddenly became less impressive.

"I actually have some clues about the beheading case this morning..."

After hearing this, the head of Wudu was stunned. You have a clue but you have been walking for a long time without telling me. So you are waiting for the county magistrate here!

Ji Mingshang smiled slightly and took out a few soybeans from his pocket.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Ji Mingshang was quite satisfied. Suddenly, his expression changed again, and he said quickly: "This soybean is not mine, I took it out from the clothes of the dead man!"

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. Because the gavel in County Magistrate Yang's hand finally stopped in mid-air and did not fall. God knows how anxious he was just now. He couldn't figure out why the county magistrate liked to hit the gavel so much. It would be bad if he used some memory recovery magic on him.

You know, he is nothing now.

Wu Dutou immediately sent people to take soybeans to the village and ask every household.

As for the two masters kneeling in the hall, since they have told the truth, let them go back. At most, the county can help them find their daughter's body.

After giving the evidence, the three people did not stay for long. Since it was a misunderstanding and now they had something to enter the city, if not now, when would they enter the city?
