Now, when the case reached the stage of searching for the whereabouts of the family's body, Zhong Shiqing immediately called Wen Zhidong, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Song Yu, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to discuss together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Judging from the clothes and daily necessities found on the ground, everyone thought that it was unlikely that they had been swept away by the river.

So, where did the corpses go?

After receiving the report, the imperial court immediately sent people to the scene to investigate. However, since the place where the crime occurred was a remote area, and there were no people in the surrounding area for dozens of miles, it was only when it was close to dark that a person looked over from a hill far away from there, and he immediately went to the local government office to report the case, and by the time the local government sent someone to see it, it was already late at night.

The court learned about it the next morning.

When the court arrived, all they saw were carriages, clothes, and some daily necessities. However, they immediately launched a search and investigation.

During that month, they visited all the neighborhoods in the area, and the residents said that they had found no trace of the bodies.

They searched the area, sparing no corners, but found no new graves or burial sites.

What they didn't know was that Li Yuan had braved the rain to drag the bodies of his parents and subordinates deep into the grass, and had planted a few broad-leaved grasses above the cemetery and a peach on one side. When the rain stopped, the blood along the road was washed away. Since Li Yuan did not pile the earth above the cemetery above the ground, and planted plants on it, these plants and these newly turned mud had no traces of new burials after the baptism of this rain, so even if they passed by here, they would not find anything unusual.

Because of this, the clue of this case was cut off, so it was known as a strange case at the time.

In fact, it is not complicated, but because people don't know the truth, they think about it mysteriously.

"Lord Song, Lord Wen, what do you think?" Zhong Shiqing asked.

The three of them are the top officials of the three divisions, and how this case should be investigated and convicted must be decided by the three of them through discussion.

Song Yu, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, silently looked at the confession written by Kong Wuli on the table, and said: "Guo Mao's main purpose is to kill the Buxun family, so he will leave after killing." And the small number of high-ranking officials in the capital who are not in harmony with Bu Xun, or even want to die in Bu Xun, will not intervene in this matter at this time. Local residents...... It is not excluded that some people have good hearts and want to let them settle down. However, they should also be able to see that this is a murder case, which must be reported to the government first, and then handled by the government, so it is unlikely that they were buried without permission before the people from the government arrived at the scene, so ......" Song Yu scratched his head and said, "Who it will be and how to dispose of these corpses, I don't have a clue for a while." ”

"Could it be that someone threw them into the river after finding their bodies?" Wenzhi Dongdao.

The two then looked at Wen Zhidong.

"Isn't that an analysis?" Wen Zhidong asked.

Zhong Shiqing said: "If they were thrown into the river, judging from the water potential of the Dawang River when it flooded, it would definitely take them downstream, but the people downstream did not see the corpses during that time. ”

Wen Zhidong hurriedly said: "Maybe they were eaten by crocodiles in the river or other things that dare to eat people?" ”

It is not impossible that the water of the Dawang River is so deep and there are many kinds of creatures in the river.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Soon, Song Yu, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, spoke: "Even if there are really crocodiles or other biting things that bite them, after all, there are more than a dozen corpses in total, it is impossible for them to swallow all of them into their stomachs, right?" ”

Also.

The three remained silent.

After about two quarters of an hour, Zhong Shiqing said: "I think it is better to send someone to search carefully in that area to see if I can find some clues." ”

Wen Zhidong objected and said: "If it was okay to check it at the time, now that two years have passed, even the clothes and supplies have been weathered, where can I find anything?" ”

Song Yu said: "Not necessarily, if the body was buried underground at that time, the bones should still be there." ”

Zhong Shiqing also nodded and said: "Well, don't forget that there was a downpour after the crime, and it rained for several hours, this time period is an excellent time to bury them, and there will be no blood stains after the burial, and even the traces of new soil will be washed away by the rain." ”

After some discussion among the three of them, they finally unanimously decided to send someone to the site to dig up the ground within a radius of dozens of miles.

So, Zhong Shiqing immediately presented the decision of the three to the emperor by folding it, and asked the emperor to make it clear.

Because they knew that the prince was also concerned about this matter, Zhong Shiqing sent someone to inform the prince of this decision.

When the prince learned about it, he immediately sent someone to invite Li Yuan to the Osmanthus Building to discuss secretly.

Osmanthus House is a teahouse not far from the East Palace, Li Yuan once came, so he came soon after receiving the message.

Since it was an urgent meeting from the prince, Li Yuan didn't have to think much to understand that it must be related to the murder of his parents, so he was also very nervous when he came.

However, he was not particularly afraid, nor did he flinch.

He had expected that as the case unfolded, the truth would be revealed step by step, and at this point, he had to stand up bravely. Then stand up bravely, there will be gains and losses, to get a satisfactory result, how can you not pay?

After taking his seat, the prince said to him: "The third division has decided to send people to the scene of the incident to conduct an in-depth investigation, including digging three feet into the ground. ”

"Then I guess they'll be digging up my parents' grave soon." Li Yuandao.

"How far is that place you're talking about from the place where it happened?" The prince looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"About five miles." Li Yuan replied, looking back at the crown prince.

Looking at the prince, his heart was a lot settled, and he knew that the prince's wisdom was like the sea, and he could help him come up with ideas.

"Draw that direction." The prince said.

Li Yuan immediately raised his pen and drew the specific location.

The prince said: "Now, you are faced with two choices - either you take the initiative to reveal your identity now, so that they can find your parents' graves as quickly as possible." Either I'll have someone accommodating and avoid the excavation work in that direction. Choose the former, and your identity will be revealed immediately. If you choose the latter, your identity will not be revealed for the time being, but I am afraid that the case will have to be closed later. ”
