《Horror Stories of Tang Dynasty Ⅱ》E37
Episode 37
When Cao Weng returned home, he heard that his beloved son Duobao had died suddenly. His heart was as sharp as a knife and he urgently asked for the reason.Seeing the remains of my beloved son, I wanted to see him one last time.When Su Wuming saw this, he asked Mrs. Cao and Weng Cao to stay away temporarily and wanted to examine the body carefully.Everyone looked solemn and were shocked to see the ghost face pattern painted on Duobao's face. Su Wuming concluded that it was not the image of Fang Xiang.Lao Fei agreed, pointing out that Fang correspondingly had four eyes, but this painting only has two pupils.Su Wuming pondered for a moment and speculated that this was a painting of the head.Mentioning the funeral rituals of the Tang Dynasty, it mentioned the customs of summoning spirits, cutting clothes to commemorate them, and placing them on the coffin after bathing and changing clothes.Cao Weng was filled with grief and anger, and asked angrily who could have done this to kill his own son.
Lu Lingfeng carefully examined the surrounding environment, frowned, and asked those present who found the body first.With a trembling voice, Sai Sai said it was her because she and her uncle Duobao had agreed to go sandboarding outside the city the night before, but she never thought that this farewell would be forever.Pei Xijun was even more shocked when she saw this scene. She originally planned to let Duobao continue to lead them to explore this land, but unexpectedly, tragedy struck so unexpectedly.At night, as Duobao's mother, she was filled with anger and felt indignant and helpless at what her stepdaughter Pei Xijun said at this time.
Cao Weng knew that the people around him had complicated thoughts and had their own agendas, and their coveting of family property made him even more chilling.After a detailed autopsy, Su Wuming confirmed that Duobao died of suffocation. This discovery made everyone present fall into deep thought.Li Chi's conspiracy was exposed. He had attempted to kill Cao Weng, but fortunately, Cao Weng's daughter discovered and stopped him in time.Cao Weng was deeply gratified by his daughter's loyalty, but he was also saddened by the disputes within the family.
Pei Xijun was immersed in deep self-blame. She regretted that if Duobao had accompanied them yesterday, this tragedy might have been avoided.Ding Mao and Li Chi were already in prison. Faced with Cao Weng's questioning, they chose to confess.Cao Weng decided to make a will to calm the disputes within the family. However, this move was opposed by his eldest daughter, and the conflicts within the family further intensified.
Based on the clues, Lu Lingfeng deduced that the killer must be someone within the family. Fearing that Duobao's ghost would be entangled, he covered his head with cloth in an attempt to suppress his soul.He personally went to prison to interrogate Li Chi. Li Chi's confession was consistent with the testimony of his wife, further confirming the complexity of the case.Saisai, this innocent girl, begged Lu Lingfeng to seek justice for her uncle. She firmly believed that Duobao was not greedy for inheritance, but was eager to introduce the beauty of Dunhuang to more people.
After reading Duobao's books, Su Wuming felt deeply his deep feelings for his hometown.Cherry carefully inspected the body and surprisingly found traces of cigarette smoke on Duobao's body. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Fan Songling.Cao Weng was distraught and wanted to take his son to the ancestral grave, but was hindered.Cao Xiaoxiao has a kind heart and recalls his younger brother's innocence and cuteness, which contrasts with the indifference and calculation of his eldest and second sister.Cao Rong flatly denied killing his brother and raised the issue that the husband and wife were each other's witnesses, causing everyone to think deeply about the validity of the evidence.
When Su Wuming summoned Fan Songling, Xue Huan felt disgusted when he saw that he behaved delicately, wore makeup and powder, and showed deliberateness in his old demeanor.Lu Lingfeng was suspicious and questioned how Fan Songling knew the cause of death.Fan Songling wanted to escape, but was stopped by Lu Lingfeng, who claimed that he was forced to commit the murder because of his wife's fate.
