《Record of cleansing》E8
A case of burying a corpse in the bottom of a well (III)
Qin An, the master of the Qin family, was upset by the eighth concubine's case, and the syphilis was even worse.Qin Guan discovered that the girl in Qin'an's yard had gone to the pharmacy to get musk to treat her dizziness, but Qin An did not have this condition.After Yan Chi's investigation, he suspected that the murderer was probably the missing Liu Chun, but Qin Wan believed that Liu Chun might have been blamed and he must be found as soon as possible.Ghost fire appeared in the purple bamboo forest of Qin Mansion. Yan Chi happened to send someone to search the purple bamboo forest and found that the banned dry well in the forest. The demon-suppressing stone used to seal the well had been removed. Then, they found a male corpse underground, which was confirmed to be Liu Chun.
The cause of Liu Chun's death is the same as that of the Eighth Auntie. Both were strangled by the murderer from behind, and the method of strangling the killing was completely the same.Yan Chi speculated that the murderer might have lured Liu Chun to hide here on his own initiative, and then strangled him to kill him while he was unprepared and threw him into a well.Yan Chi decided to dig a well, and indeed dug out a head and some remaining bones from it.At this time, Mrs. Qin rushed over and said that the skull was Aunt Yang who committed suicide by jumping into a well eight years ago.
Yan Chi and Qin Wan found traces of fake ghost fire at the scene. It was speculated that someone guided them to Zizhulin. The cause of Yang's death was not as simple as Mrs. Qin said.Qin Guan instructed Yan Chi and Xu He to restore the corpse. It was found that the deceased Yang was about 20 to 30 years old when he died. He died because he fell from a high place and had a child.Bai Feng investigated in the Qin Mansion and learned that all the servants who served Yang had been sent to the old lady Qin, Yan Chi decided to find other servants to continue the investigation.
