“... My lord, according to your wishes..."

Song Ci said: "This case does not rule out the possibility of throwing it here, but, but the greater possibility is that the deceased was lured here, and then, taking the opportunity to kill him, there is no other possibility."

Moreover, Xiaoxiang's husband is a rough man, he went up the mountain to chop wood, it is very likely that it was a premeditation, a premeditation to frame him, and his purpose is to blame the murderer on this person, so that the real murderer can feel at ease.

Looking into the distance, Song Ci said: "It is impossible to come here at night, because the mountain road is too difficult to walk, and it is easy to fall, now there are only two possibilities, one is that when the sky is not dark, the murderer will bring the deceased to the top of the mountain."

"Moreover, they did not go east and west, but probably came up from the north, where there were few people and mountains and forests, and it was difficult for others to find them.

Everyone nodded and continued to listen to Song Ci's explanation.

"At the same time, it is impossible for a woman to follow a stranger to this mountain, it may be an acquaintance, and an acquaintance who is very close to her tricks her to the top of the mountain, and then kills her.

"However, it is possible that this person is familiar with Xiaoxiang Fujun, and at the same time knows that he is going up the mountain to chop wood, and the deceased happened to die on his way, do you think it will be a coincidence?"

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Listening to the adult's analysis, we feel like we have cleared the clouds and mist, and we can see a clear and clear sky all of a sudden."

"Yes, yes, the adult deserves to be an adult, if I, Lu Sheng, have been following the adult for a long time, I may have to learn to solve cases in the future, hehe, I will become a master of solving cases by then."

Song Ci walked to the north again, looking at the cliff below, although the road was difficult to walk, but they were all young people, naturally they could not be compared with the old people.

At her feet, Qin Xiaoyue exclaimed, she found that there was a rope on the ground, which fell directly to the bottom, after half a year of wind and rain, the rope had rotted and could not be used at all.

"My lord, look, did this hemp rope help the murderer and the deceased to go ashore at that time?"

Song Ci squatted down and looked at it, but he didn't dare to guarantee it at the moment, "This problem, it may be, it may not be, if it is used by Xiaoxiang Fujun, but it is also possible that the murderer is also using it after learning about it." ”

"This rope, as long as it has been used by the murderer, then Song's inference just now may be overturned, with hemp rope, it is entirely possible that he killed people and then carried them to the top of the mountain. However, this may not be very large. ”

Ren You said: "Why? Can you explain?"

"This, people are dead, you can throw it away anywhere at the bottom of the mountain, there is really no need to take it to the top of the mountain, but it is not excluded that some people are not too troublesome for the sake of insurance.

"It's just that, if it's really the murderer, then why didn't he get the rope away? Do you want to use this thing to go down the mountain?"

In Song Ci's mind, there was another clear line.

Everyone came to the bottom of the mountain, walking on the way back, Qin Xiaoyue said, "My lord, what should we do now?" Is it going to the Yamen? Or go to Xu's mansion?"

"Of course, if you go to the Xu Mansion and go to the Yamen with our current identity, sooner or later we will be kicked out, and there is even the possibility of being arrested and put in prison."

After walking for a while, he finally came to his destination, and at this moment, a black carriage drove over and stopped outside the gate, and a man and a woman got out of the car, and they seemed to know that it was Xu's master.

The two came to the door and took out the key to open the door, and then before the door was closed, Song Ci immediately stepped forward and said, "Two of you, can you wait, Song has something to ask you."

The man said, "Who are you?" I don't know you, what are you looking for me?"

"This.... It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go in and talk about it, and besides, Song has no malicious intentions, he just wants to ask a few questions casually. ”

The couple looked at each other, thought about it for a moment, and then made a way and walked in.

Inside, Song Ci looked around, it was relatively luxurious, there was everything, there were rockery fountains, and there were many birds, like the life of a wealthy family.

The two instructed Song Ci and the others to sit aside, and then said: "I don't know what this son has to say, I don't have time to accompany you now, if you are fine, then please do it now."

"This.... Have you not already returned to the house? What else is there to be in a hurry? Could it be that Song has disturbed you?"

Looking closely at the face of this woman, Song Ci saw that her face was very bad, and she didn't know if she was frightened or she was sick at the moment.

She went into the house and built a few cups of tea and put them on the stone bench, which was more polite, not like a villain, but I don't know if it was already covering up.

"Both, in fact, we want to ask about the murder that happened in your family half a year ago, I don't know, would you like to talk about it?"

Xu Yuan's face became even more ugly, he remembered the sad thing, his heart was depressed, and he picked up the wine from the side and drank it dry.

Seeing that he was silent, Song Ci hurriedly diverted the topic, "Gongzi Xu, your house is good, you know that you are not an ordinary person at a glance, I don't know, why don't you hire some maids, or subordinates?"

The female dependent opened her mouth at this moment, "The maid and the subordinate used to have, but during the time of the accident, they were all fired, and now there is no one." ”

"Expulsion? Why is that? Could it be that he did something wrong?"

“.... Sort of!" Xu Yuan continued: "Since then, there have only been three of us in my family, but not long after, one of my concubines was killed,.. Not to mention, it's really infuriating. ”

Song Ci comforted: "Don't be too sad, people will eventually die, whoever has this day, no one can escape, death is everyone's only way."

Qin Xiaoyue also comforted: "Gongzi Xu, you might as well talk about this matter carefully, our family members feel that this matter is wronged, perhaps, her death was caused by another person."

My lord? The faces of these two people changed drastically, and they suddenly turned black, which was very scary, as if they had been smeared with a layer of black things, and Song Ci saw this scene in his eyes.

They stabilized their minds a little and said, "My lord? I don't know who Your Excellency is?"

Song Ci said: "Song Ci, the criminal officer of the Criminal Department, learned about the case when he came to Pomegranate County yesterday and felt that he was wronged, so he planned to come and take a look, and by the way, solve the case."

They were obviously a little panicked, but they quickly recovered and exclaimed: "You are the Song Ci who has only been in office for a few months, but has solved many big cases?" Oh my God, why are you here?"

"What is the blue sky is not the blue sky, Song Mou eats the imperial grain, so he naturally has to be worthy of this errand, and he can't expect Song Mou to become a corrupt official!"

They shook their heads one after another, and then said: "Song Tixing misunderstood, our couple was just surprised, I didn't expect that such a big official as you would come to this Pomegranate County, I really can't see it."

"The poorer and more remote the place, the easier it is to breed corruption, it's not a big deal, two, just tell me what happened in the days when the deceased died?"

"Strange? Doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary? In those days, she often went out, and she didn't know what to do, she always went out early in the morning and came back in the middle of the night. ”

"Then you didn't ask? Or is it tracking? You don't feel anything about your concubine's sneaky behavior?"

"This.... No, she hides well every time she goes out, and I have no way to track it at all, Lord Song, who do you think the murderer of this matter will be? Could it be that she committed suicide herself?"

Song Ci denied: "There is no such possibility, why should a person commit suicide?" And it's still on the mountain? Is she so confused? I don't think that's possible.

"Gongzi Xu, what Song wants to ask you now is, do you have any enemies? Or maybe you've offended someone lately?"

He thought for a while, "Lord Song, we have always been honest and have never offended anyone, who do you say will kill her?" Is it a vendetta, or is it a robbery?"

It's just surprising, I didn't expect such a big official as you to come to this pomegranate county, I really can't see it.

"The poorer and more remote the place, the easier it is to breed corruption, it's not a big deal, two, just tell me what happened in the days when the deceased died?"

"Strange? Doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary? In those days, she often went out, and she didn't know what to do, she always went out early in the morning and came back in the middle of the night. ”

"Then you didn't ask? Or is it tracking? You don't feel anything about your concubine's sneaky behavior?"

"This.... No, she is well concealed every time she goes out, and I have no way to track it at all, Lord Song, who do you say the murderer of this incident will be? Could it be that she committed suicide herself?"

Song Ci denied: "There is no such possibility, why should a person commit suicide?" And it's still on the mountain? Is she so confused? I don't think that's possible.

"Gongzi Xu, what Song wants to ask you now is, do you have any enemies? Or maybe you've offended someone lately?"

He thought for a while, "Lord Song, we have always been honest and have never offended anyone, who do you say will kill her?" Is it a vendetta, or is it a robbery?"
