Chapter 248: Tricks

A flash of doubt flashed in Gu Yifeng's eyes, glanced at Uncle Chai beside him, and then asked, "Since you said that you only found out that your brother was missing this morning, then why did you report the case at noon?" What have you been doing this early morning? ”

The man kneeling in the hall looked up at Gu Yifeng and choked up, "Lord Hui, the reason why the grass people didn't come to report the case early in the morning is because the grass people's mother fainted after learning that her brother was missing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to what the man said, Uncle Chai on the side leaned over and said in Gu Yifeng's ear, "My lord, do you think this case is also the work of monsters?" ”

Gu Yifeng turned his head to look at Uncle Chai, then looked at the man kneeling in the hall, and pondered, "Then can you tell this official that on the night before your brother disappeared, did your brother show anything abnormal?" ”

The man thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, the night before the disappearance of the grass people's younger brother, the grass people's younger brother did not show anything abnormal. ”

"Oh?" Gu Yifeng responded in a low voice, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly, "Take me to the place where your brother disappeared." ”

The man kneeling on the ground obviously didn't expect Gu Yifeng to go to the house to inspect it in person, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.

"Yes, sir."

In this way, Gu Yifeng came to the man's house with a few catchers, as the man said, there is indeed an eighty-year-old mother in his family, the yard of the house is not big, but there is still a group of chickens and ducks fed, and a vegetable garden is also cultivated next to it, presumably for convenience.

Gu Yifeng glanced at Uncle Chai behind him, and said solemnly, "Uncle Chai, you take a few people to check around, and the rest of the people and the official will enter the house to check." ”

"Yes, sir." Uncle Chai replied respectfully, and hurriedly took a few people to check around the wooden house, while Gu Yifeng took a few people to the missing person's house.

This room is not big, more than sixty square meters, there is only one bed in the room, a bed of bedding and pillows, and a long table is placed by the window, and there are some books on the table, Gu Yifeng walked to the desk, glanced at the books on the table, tears couldn't help flashing a gleam, and then picked up one of the books and flipped through a few pages.

His eyes kept scanning the room, and suddenly, Gu Yifeng found a gray piece of linen on the right side of the bed, he walked over slowly, squatted down, reached out and picked up the piece of linen on the ground and looked at it, and then put the gray piece of linen into the cuffs, and then stood up from the ground and put the book in his hand on the desk.

When he turned around and was about to leave, he was suddenly attracted by a puddle of black and astringent things in the corner, Gu Yifeng stepped on his steps, walked to the corner, squatted down, picked up the shirt in his left hand with his right hand, reached out and touched the black and astringent thing, took it to his nose and smelled it, and felt a fishy smell.

Gu Yifeng hurriedly asked the catcher behind him to wrap up the black and astringent soil, and said to the catcher behind him, "You hurry up and take this thing to the catcher, let him turn into water, and see what it is." ”

"Yes, sir." The catcher who took the thing replied solemnly, then turned and strode out.

After a while, Uncle Chai walked in with someone, leaned over and didn't know what he said in Gu Yifeng's ear, only to see Gu Yifeng's originally not very good-looking face, even more gloomy, the two couples who were arrested and intercepted outside the house, seeing that Gu Yifeng and the others had not come out yet, they were very anxious, and their eyes looked towards the curtain from time to time.

A moment later, Gu Yifeng and Uncle Chai and the catcher behind him walked out of the house, and the two couples who were intercepted outside the door saw Gu Yifeng come out and wanted to step forward to inquire about the case, but they didn't want to be quickly intercepted by several catchers.

Uncle Chai took Gu Yifeng and a few catchers to the backyard of the house, only to see that the backyard of the wooden house was also reclaimed a piece of land, and next to it was a thatched house.

"My lord, that black thing was found under that big tree."

Gu Yifeng hurriedly walked under the big tree, found that there was indeed a black and astringent thing on the root of the tree, squatted down, reached out and touched the black and astringent place on the root, and sniffed it before taking it to the wings of his nose, which was the same as the smell he had just smelled in the house, and got up and said.

"Go back to the yamen and listen to the results from the master."

"Yes, sir." Uncle Chai replied solemnly, and then the group returned to the yamen, and the two husbands and wives who sued also returned to the yamen together.

He listened to Gu Yifeng's words and mixed the soil in the water, and when the water was clear, he saw that the water in the cup actually contained reddish-brown blood, which made him frown suddenly, and hurriedly asked the catcher who came over with the things to tell Gu Yifeng the result.

After Gu Yifeng, who had just returned to the yamen, learned the result from where he was doing, his face was not very good, and his face was always black and oppressive until he was promoted to the court.

At this time, there were more and more ordinary people watching from the outside of the yamen, and the two couples kneeling on the ground were still crying vigorously, Gu Yifeng picked up the startling wood on the table and slapped it on the table with a "pop".

"Silence."

The two couples who were kneeling on the ground stopped crying and looked up at Gu Yifeng.

"This matter has already had a certain result in the hearts of Lord Ben, you husband and wife are currently going back and waiting for the two of you, and the results will come out in three days, and the official will let the two of you go to court." Gu Yifeng said calmly.

The two couples kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, "Lord Xie, Lord Xie." ”

"Quit." Gu Yifeng picked up the startling wood on the table and patted the desk, then stood up and walked into the back hall.

As soon as he returned to the back hall, Uncle Chai picked up the teapot from the table, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of him, and said respectfully, "My lord, please drink tea." ”

Gu Yifeng picked up the cup of hot tea on the table and took a sip, then put down the teacup, looked up at him and said, "Uncle Chai, I need you to help me do something now, you can't reveal this matter to anyone, you must investigate it secretly, can you do it." ”

Uncle Chai nodded and said respectfully, "My lord, please rest assured, I will not reveal the slightest bit of news." ”

Gu Yifeng heard his assurance, and beckoned to him, "You come over to my Uncle Chai, I'll tell you, what should you do." ”

Uncle Chai stepped forward and bent down his head, just listening to him quietly, and after a while, Uncle Chai straightened up and said solemnly, "My lord, then I'll arrange it." ”

"Hmm." Gu Yifeng replied in a low voice and said solemnly, "Remember to be careful." ”

"Yes, sir." Uncle Chai replied seriously, and then turned around and walked out. (To be continued.) )
