Castle peak is faint and clear, and the water is long, so the country falls.
I didn't expect the piano rope to be tied, and the Millennium dream came back to the capital of song dynasty.

First, the story background
The book to be told today has something to do with this poem-The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.
The first page tells us the time when the story happened-Tomb-Sweeping Day in the third year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, 1 12 1 year. Anyone familiar with history and the Water Margin knows that this year can be said to be the smoke of four winds: in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Fang La Uprising broke out, when the government troops were losing ground; In Liao country, which borders Song country in the north, the Jurchen nationality rose to establish the Jin Dynasty, and successively conquered Dading House in Zhongjing and Datong House in Xijing, Liao country.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is not peaceful among the people this year-
At noon, a seemingly ordinary passenger ship sailing on the Bianhe River was about to hit Hongqiao because it had no time to lower the mast. Passers-by and boatmen on the bridge were in a hurry when they suddenly saw a smoke coming from the ship and covered it. When the smoke dispersed, the boat was gone! Even weirder, after the fog cleared, a white Taoist priest and two children unexpectedly appeared. These three people walk on the water like gods!
The three of them walked farther and farther, leaving only a silver thread with eight big words written on it: "Heaven and earth are bright, Tao Junsheng."
Subsequently, the missing passenger ship was found, but there were 24 poisoned bodies on it.
This bizarre case leads to the protagonist of this book-Zhao Buyou, one of the five wonders of Bianjing.
But the weirdness of this case doesn't stop there:
According to Gu Erqi, the only survivor, two of the 24 bodies did not belong to this passenger ship. What about the original people?
And Nagu 27 recently died of poison, the same poison as those 24 people!
Lang Fan, Zhao Buyou's good friend and "sword" of "East Water Eight Sons", died on that boat. ...
At the same time, every corner of this Bianjing city seems to be alive, and many bizarre events have taken place at the same time, not only Zhao Buyou, but also four other people in the "Bianjing Five Musts". ...
Song Qiyu and Zhang Mei, "Zi Kui" and "Ce Zi" in "East Water Eight Sons", mysteriously disappeared;
On the inclined bank of the Bian River, Qian Kang, the owner of the antique shop, waited anxiously with a sachet in his hand. In that sachet, there are a pair of human ears.
The "metamorphosis case" in Michelle Temple two months ago and the bizarre murder case in Fan Lou one month ago are actually related to the passenger ship murder today!
Second, "the world is like a chess game."
As the core case throughout the book, "Mei Chuan Case" naturally has a huge layout and complicated relationship.
Ladies and gentlemen, please read carefully-
?
(1) wood chip sprout case
This is a "frame-up" caused by different concepts.
The case was solved by Zhao Buyou. It seems complicated, but it is not worth mentioning after all.
"Eight sons of Dongshui" should have been brothers and sisters, and * * * should have contributed to the world, but because of different ideas, they gradually embarked on the opposite situation. It's hateful and pathetic.
Among them, "Zi Kui" Song Qiyu's ambiguous feelings about the "lotus view" that he has never met before are an indispensable part of this "frame-up".
Although I won the first prize, Song was not happy, but rather lonely-"Although I am famous all over the world, I can't clear my name for Miss Lian Guan ..."
(two) the situation of fire items and sachets
This is a "kidnapping case" mixed with affection and love.
A sudden kidnapping case, a sachet that was replaced from a distance, revealed the love and hate between several seemingly harmonious families and generations.
What is visible is the hypocrisy between people;
What is invisible is a demon named "love" hidden deep in my heart.
Yin, because she hated her husband, pushed her husband into the river and drowned;
Because I didn't understand my mother Yin when I was 7 years old, I wanted to starve my brother to death to punish my mother.
I hurt the killer's mouth because I didn't want to be robbed of my happiness. ...
Also in the dark, someone chose redemption and got the salvation of life-
Although he didn't have a good face for Bo Ge for many years, he didn't persuade him kindly, but after Bo Ge killed Peng Zuer and was sentenced to prison, Yin still expressed his deep love for him: "Remember, this home is also your home!"
Although he hated his mother and wanted to starve his younger brother, his crying and helplessness made him feel pity and chose to let his younger brother live.
Peng Zui, who was tortured by the killer, was stabbed to death by Bo Ge because he killed his beloved girl by mistake. ...
Peng's sweetheart, on the other hand, uttered a sigh of "why bother" to her body.
I am already a dead man, but you woke me up. I woke up and you left. ...

(3) The Golden Fan Lou Case.
This is a case of planting blood to avenge my sweetheart.
Compared with the other four cases, the technique of this case is not difficult to guess, but the most difficult thing to guess is the despair of love.
Gather feelings for Dong Qian;
Dong Qian's love for the late Qin Dynasty since childhood, the words "unless you don't marry" are like a moonlight, which brings warmth and hope to the late Qin Dynasty struggling in the dark.
Hou Lun, who framed Dong Qian and others, got deeper and deeper in the mire of hatred, and finally embarked on a dead end, jumping into the cold and dark Bian River and committing suicide.
All human sufferings are essentially anger at their own incompetence.

(4) Water products and transformation cases
This is a wrong love story.
In the story, He Huan would rather give up his status as the grandson of a rich and prominent prime minister than marry Archie, which is very touching.
Although nature played a trick on people and experienced several times of separation and combination, fortunately, lovers finally got married and they finally lived happily together.
That "Confession" is the witness of this love-
I miss you as drunk as I miss you, and the bamboo shadow is indiscriminate. Mo Feng didn't understand or hate, so he cut a window.
The appointment is undecided, the trust is hard to rely on, and the memory is empty. What is this heart like? A butterfly in a dream, a lone star on the sea.

⑤ Mei Chuan case.
As the last case in this book, it is like a string of beads, which connects all the cases in the first four cases in series, making people feel that these cases seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are all the trunk or branches of the same case, just like an endless chess game. Everyone is just a chess piece, although the division of labor is different, but they all go to the same ending in the dark.
And the people behind the layout, but not this person, this voice, this shadow, but can feel the meticulous and biting mind, creepy. ...
Three. abstract
The first story ends with Zhang Zeduan's Drunk muxi, leaving many suspense to be continued-
(1) What is the identity of "Purple Clothes" mentioned in the book? What are the origins of the men who came to kill Purple Clothes?
(2) Who changed the words "Heaven and earth are bright, Tao Jun is holy" written by the Taoist priest in white on the silver wire into "Heaven and earth are bright, and Tao Jun deceives the holy"?
(3) What is the truth behind Gu Erqi's suicide?
(4) What is the origin of the mysterious man who assassinated Zhao Buyou and his family alone?
⑤ Who is the headless body in the Fan Lou case?
6. Who directed the man who killed Dante in the "reform case"?
⑦ What is the meaning of the eight words "Where is the righteousness, I have to do it" written to Zhao Buyou?
What is the "secret" that Zhang Zeduan noticed?
There is also a small bug:
In the third chapter of Eight Cases, I mentioned Li Qingzhao's poem The Pride of the Fisherman. The story of this book took place in 1 12 1, and this poem was written in 1 130.

The situation behind the game will be more dangerous. If you want to know what will happen next, you should also watch Qingming 2, which will help us clear the fog and find the hidden truth.
To ask which ancient case was strange, look at the Qingming Shanghe case!
