The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

Qian Qing was silent for a long while, then frowned: "I still find it incredible."

Xiangquan sighed: "You are really too careless. As I said before, because the environment is the same and the characters are similar, the folk songs are somewhat similar to the current situation. We might as well use the folk songs to analyze the current situation, but it will be more vivid. Let me ask you, in the folk songs How many characters appeared?"

Qianqing seemed to be a student, thinking: "Seven. Five brothers, a rich man and a daughter. Now we are talking about the mute, what are you talking about?"

Xiangquan said with a smile: "This case is the most bizarre and coincidental case I have ever seen. It is extremely intricate. I was able to solve the case mainly because of the folk song. In this case, the folk song is the biggest misleading, but It's also the best clue."

Qian Qing frowned: "I don't understand, please speak clearly."

"The rich man corresponds to the mother-in-law who fell off the cliff. In the whole village, only the mother-in-law knows about wealth."

Ganqing interrupted all of a sudden: "Is there any real treasure in this village? In the mountains?"

"Yes, we will talk about this later. Secondly, Feng Jiuniang corresponds to the money-grubbing boss. The rich man's daughter corresponds to a monster, and the doctor's second child corresponds to a dumb son."

Qianqing shook his head: "You also said that it is a coincidence that the folk song corresponds to what happened in Wu Village today. It is only because the characters are similar and the environment is similar, but the two do not correspond exactly. There is one thing I have always kept in mind, that'girl eats What happened to the wooden stakes?"

Xiangquan raised his eyebrows, Qianqing continued: "Maybe it has nothing to do with today's matter, but I'm just curious..."

Xiangquan smiled: "This is actually the most interesting point. I have also guessed for a long time. Now that I know the girl's 'disease', I can also make some guesses. After all, the legend is exaggerated. The so-called 'eat' does not mean 'eat'." It’s very likely that it was sucked or swallowed. I heard rats in the house, so I thought it might be teeth grinding.”

Afraid of waking up the sleeping mute, Gan Qing laughed a few words in a low voice after hearing this, and said mockingly: "You think I'm a three-year-old kid? Grinding teeth, people only 'grind their teeth' in their dreams at night, and they're not rats. you really……"

Qian Qing didn't say the second half of the sentence "You are really fooling me".And Xiangquan said patiently: "The girl's habits are not exactly the same as people's. I speculate that she just has a toothache and can't explain it. She has to use this method to relieve it, like a beast, until her mouth is full of blood."

Qianqing felt more and more funny: "Does she eat candy? Or is it like a child changing teeth, with discomfort in her mouth?"

Gan Qing's words were meant to be ridiculed, but Xiang Quan nodded with interest: "The girl was about four or five years old when she entered the mountain. After moving to the mountain for 15 years, five brothers entered the mountain. How old was she at that time?"

As if he was doing arithmetic, Ganqing rolled his eyes: "Nineteen or twenty, not the age to change teeth—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze and covered his side face.

Xiangquan smiled, pointed to Qianqing's mouth and said: "Everyone is different, but after the age of nineteen or twenty, some people's teeth will still grow. Wisdom teeth, there have been rumors in ancient times, wisdom teeth Some people have the appearance of wisdom. Some people grow it around the age of 20, some people grow it in their 20s and 50s, and some people don’t grow it all their lives. Some people will suffer from pain when their wisdom teeth erupt.”

Ganqing was old enough to know about this, so he kept silent and just nodded slightly.

Xiangquan cleared his throat: "Perhaps you think the one-to-one correspondence is really a coincidence, but it is not a complete coincidence. The rich man and the girl are the source of the matter, and the whole incident has two sources: money and family affection. Feng Jiuniang and the mute are Two things, respectively, are two tragedies derived from this source. The girl is sick and needs someone to take care of her, so the second child and the mute both play the role of 'caregiver'. This 'caregiver' needs to bring broth to the monster The purpose is simple, it is mixed with pinellia, which is intended to prevent the monster from making a roar that arouses suspicion and arouses the anger of the people. Secondly, it can also be mixed with psychedelic drugs to clean up dung and other residues. This ancient house The construction is also very strange, the latrine is next to the hall, so it is very convenient to dump the excrement."

Ganqing was stunned for a moment: "I saw this layout for the first time, and it was very strange at the time, so I went to check it out, and the latrine was very smelly..."

Xiangquan glanced at him mockingly: "You are really careless. If the ancient house has been unoccupied for a long time, where does the stench of the toilet come from? It can be easily judged that there is a universe hidden in the ancient house. And the mute It was only after I opened the coffin that I learned a little bit about the death. The wound was peculiar, and when I thought of the ancient house and the broth, I felt that there was some monster hidden in the secret room. It might be a wolf or something, but it was very weak, not like a beast in the mountains. Swallow people directly into their stomachs."

"Look, my guess makes sense—"

Xiang Quan shook his head, and continued: "It's super shallow. Wolf, it doesn't make sense. There is a wild animal hidden in the house, and it is fed every day without letting others know. The child died, and this 'wolf' was not exposed to everyone's sight. Then I am sure that this is not an ordinary beast. Secondly, it disappeared without a trace, leaving almost no clues. Why is this ?Because someone took over the deceased and took on the role of 'caregiver'. Moreover, this 'caregiver' moved extremely fast and cleaned up the mess in the shortest possible time."

Gan Qing thought about it: "You said 'moving extremely fast'..."

"To avoid confusion, we call the dead dumb children the 'dead'. The dead are dead, and you are the first to find out. Heihei, Shuiyun, Wubai, Feng Jiuniang are all after you, so, you What was the scene when it was discovered? You didn't see the attacker, right? And the door to the secret room in the ancient house was also closed. Everything is safe and the bedroom is clean. In other words, someone other than you has cleaned up the mess. "

Ganqing said unwillingly: "I also think that someone has cleaned up the mess! I also said that there are villains in the village, so everyone should go to sleep in the hall."

Xiang Quan laughed and said: "The same starting point, what you guessed is another possibility of error."

Feeling very angry, he could only swallow his anger: "I am not as powerful as you, and I never thought that there is such a monster that looks like a human but is not human hidden in that ancient house."

"Indeed. When I deduced this, I didn't guess what was in the ancient house. The guess of the 'werewolf' came from the portrait of the girl I saw on the day Feng Jiuniang escaped. After that, everything became more and more complicated. Clear. But what concerns me more is who is the 'caregiver' and why should he 'take care'. Until now, I think of the thing that you saw the mute ghost that day. I guess, that will not Could it be a ghost, what you see, is a real person - a person who looks the same as the deceased. The only explanation is twins. But I don't have any proof, so I put this question on hold. Until later, I asked you about the dumb I didn't know much about my life experience until I heard about it."

Qianqing was shocked: "Birth experience? It's those old sesame seeds and rotten millet—"

"Yes, in your eyes, that's an unimportant thing. The mute has a dead brother and sister. At this moment, I am convinced of the twins' thoughts. I am more sure of the identity of the 'werewolf'."

Qian Qing stared wide-eyed, but said nothing.

Xiang Quan smiled lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, the werewolf is a grown man, and he's... Mute's elder brother."
