Song Ci looked at it with dead eyes, there was nothing unusual here, and at the same time, it was definitely not the scene of the crime, and at the same time, why were the soldiers' clothes missing?

So is it possible that there is a reason that the upstream strangled people to death, and then they flowed here? Then he was seen by the people passing by, and he went to find Wencheng Wenwu to report to the official.

But there was a delay in the middle of the way, shouldn't the corpse continue to swim downstream until it flowed into a wider lake?

"Wencheng Wenwu, you told Song, did the bodies of these soldiers all be found in one place?"

They snorted, "Yes, my lord, that's where we found them, when a weed stopped their corpses and prevented them from swimming downstream. ”

Song Ci understood, understood more.

"Wencheng Wenwu, since this is the case, then Song ordered you to find the soldiers' clothes, they lost their lives to help Song, how could Song not ask? After the case was solved, Song gave them a thick burial. ”

"Yes, my lord." They walked out.

Song Ci looked at the river, and suddenly took off his clothes and prepared to enter the water.

Xiaoxiang Xiaoyue hurriedly stopped, "My lord, this river is very deep,.... What are you going to do here?"

"Yes, my lord, look, even seven or eight people can be drowned, how can you be sure that you will be fine?"

Song Ci was silent, he had already decided that there was something wrong with this matter, and in order to find out the truth, he was willing to go down to the river at this moment to give it a try.

"Xiaoxiang Xiaoyue, don't stop Song, besides, there are so many people here, even if Song has something, they won't ignore it, right?"

They hummed and instructed the soldiers below to prepare to save people, and Song Ci went down to the lake, which was very piercing, so it can be seen that there must be other problems in this matter.

Entering the river, Song Ci walked slowly forward, and after a while, he had already reached the very middle, but this place did not drown his neck, only under his armpits, this depth could not pose a danger.

On the shore, Qin Xiaoyue, Xiaoxiang and the others also understood, they knew what was going on, and at this moment, like Song Ci, they all had a little doubt in their minds.

Song Ci walked around the other side of the river, and after making sure that the water was not deep, he also got up from the river at this moment, wrung out his wet clothes a little, and was furious at the moment.

"Xiaoxiang Xiaoyue, you know Song's suspicions at the moment, remember, just know about this matter, don't break it for the time being."

They hummed, and then looked at the big river a hundred meters away, and soon, Wen Cheng Wenwu and others ran over from the side and smashed a few pieces of clothes to the ground, "My lord, we just looked for a big circle, and finally found these clothes, you see they are on the ground."

Song Ci squatted down and pinched it, but also opened his mouth, "Wencheng Wenwu, where did you find it?" These clothes are the same clothes used by the soldiers. ”

"It's my lord, it's in the jungle a hundred meters away, and the murderer is very well hidden, but why didn't they burn these clothes?"

That's a good question, it's very good.

"Wencheng Wenwu, you guys take all the clothes back to the inn, I don't think it will be long before the truth of this case will be revealed, and Song must let this magistrate be beheaded."

The last sentence, he said almost deliberately, anyway, some people understand, and some people don't.

Wencheng Wenwu left, and Song Ci continued to lead people to walk on the river in front of him, which was very wide, 100 meters wide, and the length was even more invisible.

In such an environment, how easy is it to find the body of the deceased? Coupled with the fact that the water was very deep, it was impossible for him to let the soldiers take this risk.

On the 100-meter-wide river, from time to time, people who make a living from fishing pass by rowing boats, and they keep casting large nets in the hope of getting a good harvest.

Song Ci instructed his subordinates to call Yu Yuren over, and the next moment he said, "Old man, I don't know how your fishing business is?" How many taels of silver can you sell for a month?"

The old man smiled: "This adult must want to cross the river, hehe, the old man doesn't want money, it's just that since you came to this Meizhou County, I don't know why our county magistrate didn't come to greet you?"

Song Ci said: "Old man, I can't tell you that I and your county master are not all the way, don't you plan to walk alone, but old man, you still come out to fish when you are old, if something happens again, I'm afraid you will be in danger."

The old man said: "You can rest assured about this, the old man, although I am old, it does not mean that the old man I will not know anything, at the same time, I am a good swimmer, if the adults don't believe it, the old man can also give you a show."

Song Ci said with a smile: "It's still not necessary, besides, the weather is cold, if you catch a cold, then Song has to give money for medicine, you can't do it, by the way, old man, do you fish here every day?"

"The old man is seventy-six years old, and he can't do anything else, and he can earn two dollars a month by fishing, although he can't eat enough, but he can't starve to death, and in general it's still very good."

Song Ci nodded, and then finally talked about the topic, "Old man, since you fish every day, have you found some corpses in the river?" Like homicide or suicide? Especially yesterday. ”

The old man didn't think about it, and immediately said: "My lord, on this point, old man, let me tell you the truth, I have been fishing here for so many years, and I have never caught a corpse, not to mention whether it is the old man I have bad eyes, it is that there are very few homicides in my county, otherwise how can our people love Lord Zhixian so much?"

Song Ci asked again: "Is that because you didn't see it, in fact, there are corpses in the river, maybe they have floated farther away."

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the flowing water in front of him, "Where do you look at that person, after the river flows into the river, the surface of the water stops, if it is a corpse thrown down for several days, the old man does not dare to guarantee it, but if it is thrown down on the same day, hehe, as long as the person is still in the river, then it will not escape the old man's eyes." ”

Song Ci understood, and now there are only two truths about the matter, one is that it was not the corpse that was thrown into the river at all, and the other is that the corpse was not thrown into the river.

So, now that he is extremely unwilling to see a scene is about to appear, Song Ci is very sad, he even regrets coming here, but since he has already come, how can he not ask?

Song Ci said: "Old man, Song asked you how many miles from the mouth of the ya] to the mass grave?" I would like to know to visit an old friend. ”

The old man said: "My lord, you went out of the yamen and walked straight south for thirty miles, no wonder you want to take a boat, I didn't expect you to go a little wrong."

Walking south, wasn't it the direction where the official took the carriage that day? But it cannot be ruled out that they have already sent the bodies elsewhere, and if they are sent to mass graves, then Wencheng Wenwu is lying.

If not, then things will be much easier, and there will definitely be a new grave bag in the jungle by the river.

Song Ci knew it thoroughly, thanked the old man at this moment, and then returned the same way. "Xiaoyue, you go back to the inn immediately, and tell Wencheng Wenwu to continue to go to the mass grave to check, and at the same time ask them to check carefully, do you know?"

"Well, my lord, I understand what you mean, I'll do it."

"At the same time, Xiaoxiang, you immediately led people to search in these jungles, and these officials seem to have given me a guide to the river, which means that there must be a discovery in these forests.

"Especially the freshly filled soil, you can't miss the slightest clue, even if we look for it for a few days and nights, then we must find it, don't you?"

Everyone spoke in unison, and immediately dispersed, only Song Ci was still standing here, he looked at the disappearing back in the forest in a daze, looking forward to not being what he thought in his heart.

It's a pity that the evidence has proved that this matter has a lot to do with them, and Song Ci doesn't want to believe it, and he doesn't want to believe it.

At the same time, Qin Xiaoyue's back quickly disappeared and headed towards the inn.

In the yamen, He Di looked at Ma Shushi and said, "Shushi, has this Song Ci been led into that river by us?" Hehe, he must not have imagined that it would be like this, don't you say give him seven days, what if you give him seven months?"

"He Song Ci has solved countless cases in his life, he must not have imagined that it would be such a result, at this moment, it is estimated that he still thinks that he is invincible in the world? It's ridiculous, it's just that I haven't met this official and me, otherwise, he will still be ruined. ”

Ma Shushi said: "Yes, my lord, fortunately, we still have a hand, otherwise, hehe, isn't this Song Ci still going to be found by him?"

"Actually, this official also has a lot of responsibility, and he didn't write the file well, which made the other party get the handle, but it's no big deal, anyway, he Song Ci will return empty-handed sooner or later, it's not a big deal."

"By the way, the history of the book, how many officials can do it?"

"Go back to my lord, I've gone back to my hometown to visit relatives, I guess I won't be able to come back for a while, you say, will they be with..."

"This... There shouldn't be any big problems, think about it, the hometown of these officials is hundreds of miles away, how can he Song Ci find it? At the same time, it has already started yesterday, even if it is "flying, it may not be able to catch up." ”

On the inn's side, Qin Xiaoyue told the matter, and Wen Cheng and Wenwu picked seven or eight people from among the soldiers, and then went to the mass grave.

Qin Xiaoyue herself wanted to follow, but she was blocked at this moment, so she had to return honestly and go to Song Ci's side.

Calling the rest of the soldiers together, Qin Xiaoyue soon came to Song Ci's side.

"Miss Xiaoyue, you came just in time, Song Mou needs a lot of people at this moment, come to someone, immediately go to the forest to see if there is a corpse, if you are suspicious, if there is a situation, come and report it immediately."

"Yes." Hundreds of people rushed in at the same time, Song Ci sighed, fortunately there were many people this time, otherwise, I am afraid that things will be delayed.
