"This... Actually, it was not an accident that I went to the pond on the next day, it was because this was Feng San who was very happy after winning the money the day before, and said that he would give me fish to eat for free, but unfortunately, I found him dead as soon as I came to the shore, and there was also this murderer Lu Sheng.

Song Ci said: "Then why don't you go and have a look?"

"This... It's not Song Moshi's joke, I'm afraid that the murderer is Lu Sheng, what if he kills me after I pass? Do you say?"

Song Ci nodded, this is also one of the ways to protect myself, in the face of absolute security, it is best not for me to act rashly.

"That Huang Mazi, why didn't you go to the Yamen to report to the official, but went to the deceased Feng San's house to find his parents?"

.“ This one... Song Xiangshi, in fact, is like this, this place is still several miles away from the Yamen, and only a few hundred meters away from the deceased's house, so it is troublesome, so just.

Song Ci understood, it seems that this matter should have nothing to do with Huang Mazi, and it has nothing to do with Lu Sheng, but it is not 100% sure that they are not murderers.

"Huang Mazi, since this is the case, do you know how this Lu was in his life? Have you been in touch?"

"This... In fact, they are all villagers, and we usually have no contact with each other, this person has few words, he is unwilling to communicate with others, and his life is not easy, as for the rest, I don't know. ”

Song Ci understood, and instructed Wen Cheng to return the silver in full.

"Huang Mazi, gambling can't make you rich overnight, Song is willing to say a few more words today, don't gamble in the future, it's too late to quit in time, at the same time, Song tells you that this gambling hall will be served by a nest one day sooner or later."

"Thank you for telling me, I must remember it in the future." Taking the money, he departed.

Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, what should we do now?" Do you still need to investigate?"

Song Ci glanced at the sky, "It's not too early, let's go open the store first, and wait for tomorrow morning to make plans." ”

The four of them walked in Hexi County, and soon an inn appeared in front of them, Wencheng Wenwu went to open two rooms, shouted some food, handed over the silver, and lived in.

Inside the house, Song Ci said: "This case, I'm afraid it's not simple, especially among the few people we asked, Song didn't dare to guarantee that everyone was telling the truth, and it was possible that the murderer was not between them."

Qin Xiaoyue said, "My lord, what should we do now?" Will you continue to ask tomorrow morning, or will you look for other clues? Or are we working directly from the corpse?"

"Yes, my lord, you see how crazy this Guo Chengjun is, we must suppress his sharpness, otherwise, this county will not be made into a miasma?"

"It's been a miasma for a long time, maybe there have been many people who have been wronged before us, my lord, we must not let him go.

Song Ci also has this intention, as a criminal officer, how can he not ask? How can I be worthy of the emperor? Also, court officials who are aggressive with themselves?

"Wencheng Wenwu and Xiaoyue, early tomorrow morning, we will first go to the scene of the crime to investigate, and then go to the house of the deceased Feng San to see his parents, it is not easy for them to be the second elder, we must stop them from burying the body.

"Yes, sir." They all nodded.

The four of them had eaten their food and quickly turned off the lights and went to bed, when suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, the sound was very small and difficult to hear.

Outside the house, a man in black walked over, he carefully pierced the window paper with his hand, and then picked up a hollow bamboo and blew it in, and suddenly spit out white smoke, more and more white smoke, which has already filled the house.

In the house, Wen Cheng and the others sensed something, suddenly got up and covered their nostrils, quickly came to the door and opened the door to see that a man in black was disappearing in front of them.

"Damn, we're gassed, we're weak, open the windows and doors, and wake up the adults.

Song Ci also woke up in this noise, he was weak at the moment, as if all the ribs around him were broken, he was not a martial artist, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Song Ci said: "Wencheng Wenwu, you... Why do I feel weak?" Wen Chengdao: "My lord, we have been poisoned, someone came to our house to release poison, if you inhale too much in the lungs, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up early in the morning."

Wenwu came to the window and saw that the man in black had already walked along the street and went outside the county seat, not knowing where to go, without strength, they couldn't chase it at all.

Outside the house, Qin Xiaoyue also rushed over, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Just now I heard a commotion. ”

Wen Cheng said: "Miss Qin, we were poisoned just now, it is obvious that their target is an adult, and we have already attracted attention."

"Noticed? Could that be the one Guo Chengjun did? You know, he knows that the adult is the master, and if he loses, I'm afraid he won't be able to fall behind. ”

Song Ci said: "Song doesn't know about this matter, I still underestimate the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Wencheng and Wenwu today, I'm afraid Song would have lost his life."

"My lord, don't say that, protecting you is the willingness of our two brothers, and it is also a holy order, it is our duty.

Qin Xiaoyue looked worried, she was worried that something would happen to Song Ci, and by then the case would not be solved?

"My lord, since this is the case, then let's not separate tonight, but gather together directly here, I believe that the black hand will never dare to come again at this moment."

Everyone nodded, thinking that it was the same.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, everyone got up from the bed, and Song Ci said with a smile: "After Song absorbed the poison last night, he slept very soundly all night, and slept directly until dawn.

Wen Cheng said: "My lord, this medicine can't be absorbed more, if I hadn't opened the window for ventilation last night, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned and died, my lord can't be careless."

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Brother Wencheng, do you really think adults don't know? He just deliberately sighed for a moment, you really took the adults for fools?"

Wen Cheng was embarrassed, and Wen Wu was also puzzled, they didn't understand and sighed, why do they use poison?

Everyone left the house and walked down the street Song Ci said: "We are going to go to the pond now to check the situation, if it is a murder, it will definitely leave evidence, but if it is a drowning death, then it will not be like this."

"My lord, how do you determine if it was murder or drowning?"

"This, Song depends on the situation, and it may not be said now."

After walking for a while, they soon came to the edge of the pond, where the water had fallen yesterday, and at some point it had been lit with incense, and coins had been burned, perhaps the parents of the deceased, or the murderer, or the friends of the deceased.

"Wencheng Wenwu, the two of you are immediately on alert, no one is allowed to come near this pond, Song doesn't want to be disturbed.

"It's my lord!"

Song Ci came to the place where the body of the deceased Feng San was parked that day, where a large area of reeds had been trampled down, and the marks under his feet were already chaotic and could not be seen.

"My lord, there were many people here yesterday, I'm afraid it's not easy to work from the footprints, maybe it has been destroyed a long time ago."

Song Ci said: "I also have this intention, but Miss Xiaoyue, do you believe that this place is not necessarily a falling point?"

"Ah..... No? Why is that?"
