Not to mention Wu Shaoying, an outsider, even the Mizhi County Commander and Qi Zhushu and others were also stunned, worried that the so-called Yulin Wei envoy who came to mention the person the day before was pretending to be taken away and killed by the officials and soldiers who committed the crime, and he would be blamed by the real Yulin Wei envoy.

The Yulin guard envoy didn't say anything, only inquired about the details of the prisoner's delivery. Mizhi County Order and Qi Master Book took out the official document delivered by the previous envoy, whether it was the text or the official seal, it was no different from the official document sent by Yulinwei in the past, only the handwriting was slightly different. Even the messenger who came today admitted that the seal looked exactly like the real thing. When asked for the name of the person who came, it was indeed the military attache in charge of military justice in Yulin Weizhong.

But the problem is that among the envoy's entourage today is this military attaché, and he does look a little like the envoy in front of him, but he is definitely not the same person!

That is, the previous messenger was a fake!

When Niu Shi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure that the one who came in front is fake?

Wu Shaoying said: "The later one is indeed true. Although the military attache in charge of military justice has not been seen by the county government, among the people who accompanied him, there was another one from Xi'an Mansion, who was the judge of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Division, surnamed Zheng, and the county commander and the chief bookkeeper had worked together in Xi'an Mansion, so it was impossible to be fake. ”

Niu sighed: "That's right, if the one in front of me is true, he won't kill anyone." ”

Wu Shaoying said to Mr. Qin with a solemn face: "Teacher, this matter is very strange, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems. The false envoy who came in front of him was as tall and strong as the person in charge of military law in Yulin Weizhong, with the same dark complexion, the same big beard, and even his accent was very similar! No one in the county government had ever seen that military attaché, but several of the adults had talismans in their hands, and they described the figures and physiognomy of several leading figures in Yulin Wei. The messenger is everywhere identical to the characteristics described in the amulet. And when those officers and soldiers were brought to him, they were also called adults, and their faces were ashamed, and they were obviously very familiar. If the messenger wants to take them back to the guard to be punished, no one will object. Because of this, the people of the county government will not suspect the identity of the person who came over at all!"

What does this mean? It shows that even if the false envoy is not the military attache in charge of military justice, he is definitely a member of Yulin Weizhong, and he is familiar with those officers and soldiers. When he came to mention people, the officers and soldiers did not suspect him at all, so they followed him, and then died an unknown death. If the envoy can produce an official document that is almost exactly the same as the real document, and the official seal on it is also genuine, it shows that he is well prepared. And where did this document come from? If it weren't for the fact that this envoy came to Mizhi County later, no one might have discovered that the previous document was fake, right?

Wu Shaoying sighed: "This is really unguardable. Although the county magistrates were not blamed by the Yulin Weilai, they were also uncomfortable in their hearts. Looking back, the students were also not suspicious yesterday, and every move, word and deed of Guy was so natural. Even if he generously compensated the teacher for the group of officers and soldiers, the students thought that he had the intention to protect them, and wanted to spend the money to settle the case, and when he brought the people back to the guard, he would naturally be punished lightly. I didn't expect that the false messenger was going to take the opportunity to kill people! I was afraid that those officers and soldiers would also be fooled, thinking that he was really here to save people, so he would be easily killed. What's even more terrifying is that the murderer not only killed them, buried their bodies in the wilderness, but also destroyed their faces, and the cruelty of the methods is really terrifying!"

Disfigured?

Qin Hanzhen hid outside the door and eavesdropped, attracted by this word, and didn't pay attention for a while, kicked the threshold, and made a soft "bang" sound. Old Mr. Qin immediately turned his head to look: "Who is outside?"

Qin Hanzhen stuck out his tongue, didn't hide it anymore, lifted the curtain and walked in: "Grandfather, grandmother, cousin, that murderer killed people and ruined the faces of the deceased, he definitely didn't want people to know their true identities." ”

"You girl, why are you hiding outside and eavesdropping?!" Niu looked at his granddaughter with disgust, beckoned her to come over, hugged her, and touched her face and hands, "It's so cold, you don't want to die? Before your health is well, you are blowing the wind outside! Those dead people's things are strange and scary, what do you hear them doing? Or go back to the house to warm up!"

"I don't want to. Qin Hanzhen said seriously, "What's so terrible about a dead person? Where in the world will there be no dead people? What's more, I just listened to it, and I didn't see it with my own eyes." ”

When Niu heard this, he couldn't help but think of his own son's eldest daughter-in-law. Isn't it? Where in the world there are no deaths? My own family alone has died more than one this year, and my father-in-law has also died. Although Sister Sang'er is young, she has already experienced the loss of her relatives, and even witnessed the suicide of her biological mother, no wonder she is so calm. Niu's heart couldn't help but feel sour, and he hugged his granddaughter tightly and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Mr. Qin also guessed his wife's thoughts, sighed, smiled and said to his granddaughter: "If you want to listen, just listen, if you are afraid, hold your grandmother." Qin Hanzhen agreed.

Wu Shaoying's eyes darkened, and she soon smiled again: "Sister Sang, you just said that the murderer ruined the faces of several officers and soldiers, because you didn't want people to know their identities, but we already know the identities of these officers and soldiers, they are soldiers stationed in Jinji Beach, so your statement is not right." ”

Qin Han really thought about it, so he said: "That is, their faces can't be seen? Otherwise, people are all dead and buried, and under normal circumstances, they will not be discovered so quickly, why does the murderer disfigure the deceased?"

Niu said: "What is there about their faces that people can't see? I don't know how many people in the county government have seen it, even our family, as well as the people in the nursing home of your cousin Wu's family, have also seen it." ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "That is, you can't let some people see it." Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the murderer would want to destroy the face of the corpse. They all know each other, they are probably acquaintances, maybe they are still comrades, it is too much to kill people, and there must be a necessary reason for destroying corpses, right?"

Wu Shaoying was silent.

Mr. Qin asked him: "Shaoying, you just said that the real envoy of Yulin Wei was accompanied by two officials with unusual status, one was the military attache in charge of military law in Yulin Weizhong, and the other was the judge of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Division. With the official positions and ranks of these two adults, they are willing to accompany them, what is the identity of the envoy who is the leader?"

Wu Shaoying said: "The student only knows his surname Li, but he doesn't know his official rank. The county magistrate and the chief secretary of Qi had asked Zheng Judge in private, but Zheng Judge did not say it explicitly, only said that he was from the capital, and he had an important errand, so the local government just had to cooperate with this Lord Li, and there was no need to ask more. ”

Old Mr. Qin thought for a while: "Those officials and soldiers revealed in prison before, saying that they couldn't see the light in the first place, and they had been hiding in Linxian, if they hadn't met He Ziyu, in order to covet the twenty taels of silver, they wouldn't have come to Mizhi to run away." They also feared punishment if they were discovered, and they might even lose their lives. In retrospect, they should have hidden an important secret. The previous false messenger should have been their accomplice, pretending to be someone from the guard to rescue them, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill them. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to kill your mouth? They have already rescued their accomplices, aren't they? If even these few people are going to be killed, what about the other people who have escaped? What about the He brothers and sisters?"

Old Mr. Qin and Wu Shaoying glanced at each other, and they both had some bad premonitions.

Wu Shaoying got up and said, "The student will go and inquire about some news, and if there is any whereabouts of the second grandmother, come and report it to the teacher." ”

Mr. Qin said: "You can ask the people from the county government to help you inquire, and you don't have to take risks yourself." Although you have a few capable people, you can't compare with people in the public family, and you are not as convenient as people in the military. This case is full of suspicions, and there are even people in Yulin Weizhong who are faintly involved behind the scenes, and they may involve secret affairs in the army, which is not something that you can get involved in. You must not get involved in it out of curiosity and get into trouble. ”

Wu Shaoying solemnly saluted him: "Rest assured, the teacher knows how to measure." ”

Old Mr. Qin nodded, then stood up: "You come to the study with me, I have something else to tell you." With that, he walked out of the main house. Wu Shaoying hurriedly saluted Niu and retired, and followed.

Niu muttered in a low voice: "What is the old man going to do? Is there anything I can't hear, I have to go to the study to say?"

Qin Hanzhen looked up at Niu: "Grandmother, I'll inquire for you, okay?"

Niu Shi lightly slapped her palm: "Bad girl, are you going to eavesdropping?" One year old, two years younger, almost eight years old, not a child anymore, and still messing around like this. Is this kind of thing you can do? You're everyone's lady, the daughter of a scholarly family, don't learn those sneaky tricks. I'll spare you once today, and I won't let you go next time!"

Qin Hanzhen smiled dryly: "Oh." ”

Mr. Qin and Wu Shaoying went to the small study in the west ear room, I don't know what to do, the latter came out with a roll of paper after a full hour, said goodbye to the Niu family outside the door, and left the Qin family's mansion and rode back to the county seat on a fast horse.

Wu Shaoying did not go home, but went directly to the county office. The Master Li who came from the capital, as well as Zheng Jieshi and others who accompanied him, are currently temporarily staying in the county Yayin Hotel, waiting for the results of the investigation into the deaths of several officers and soldiers.

Wu Shaoying first went to find the master of Qi, and then under the leadership of the master of Qi, he saw the county commander and the master Li, and presented a roll of paper from Mr. Qin, which was unfolded on the table, and it was actually the portraits of those officers and soldiers.

Wu Shaoying said: "Lord Li, Lord County Commander, this is the portrait of several deceased people painted by the student teacher. The student's mentor was the one who was the victim of the carjacking by them, so he had come to the county office every day to inquire about the progress of the case, and he had also seen the deceased. The student's teacher said that if the previous messenger had only killed the mouth, there would be no need to destroy the faces of the dead after killing and burying the corpses, and he still did this, obviously not wanting people to recognize their appearances. Although I don't know what secrets are hidden in their appearances, the teacher painted the faces of these people into portraits for the adults to use as a reference, which may help solve the case. ”

The county magistrate smiled when he heard this, and said while looking at those portraits: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Qin is not only erudite, but also knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and today is really an eye-opener." These portraits are really lifelike!"

Lord Li's face was not very good. He stared at the portraits, his face gloomy, and he turned around and called a name: "Zhou Gen, come here to recognize it, are these people familiar?"

An entourage behind him stepped forward to look at a few portraits, and his face was shocked: "My lord, these ...... Aren't they the defenders we met in Changle Fort? Why did you become a Jinji Beach again?!"
