"But the woods that lead to the place where we found the body?"

"Boss...... You...... How did you guess that? ”

Dahu was going to continue to explain, but Shen Mu suddenly reported the correct answer, and when he came to his mouth, he was instantly stuck.

"This question is actually very simple, before the two big brothers didn't speak, you rushed to speak, indicating that the place where this tunnel leads must be you and me.

And in the past two days, the only suspicious place we have been to is the woods where the body was found.

Not to mention, when I was cooking just now, I found that the amount of ingredients prepared in the kitchen of this Mei family Zhuangzi was suspicious.

This makes me have to suspect that the masked man in black we found in the woods that day is related to this Mei family Zhuangzi.

Taiping County is not big, there is only one road leading to the forest to the county seat, if these black-clothed people have appeared in the county seat, Fang Zhutou and Uncle Liu can't have no news at all,

Then there is only one possibility left, these black-clothed people hide in this Zhuangzi on weekdays, so that people can't notice it, and they go to the woods that day through the tunnel.

They were originally going to kill someone, and then came back from the tunnel gods unconsciously, but they didn't expect that they would end up buried in the woods. ”

"Boss, Brother Mu, why didn't I think of this?" After listening to Shen Mu's explanation, Dahu opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

"That's because I'm worried about my father's affairs now, and I can't help but think a little more about anything suspicious.

Of course, these things I speculated, Uncle Xia and Fang Zhutou had already thought of them. ”

Speaking of this, he deliberately looked at Xia and Fang: "Is it Uncle Xia and Fang Zhutou?" ”

Shen Mu knew that in the small group of investigating the case, although he had the endorsement of the brocade guard hundreds, in fact, he did not have an advantage in terms of officialdom status and age experience.

But he must maintain a certain right to speak, establish his prestige in this small group, and let his words be listened to and believed, so that the case will be investigated at his pace.

Therefore, he can't be silent when he should speak, and he has to show off his intelligence when it's time to show off his intelligence.

But at the same time, he also knows how to stop in moderation and save the faces of the two people in this small group who are superior to him, so that this small group can operate well.

Sure enough, when Inspector Xia heard this, he immediately snorted and said, "What the virtuous nephew said just now is very true, after the old man saw that tunnel appear...... I also had some doubts, but I couldn't be sure, but now after listening to the words of the virtuous nephew, I further came to the same conclusion. ”

Xia Patrol looked at Shen Mu at this time, and he was already looking at it with the mood of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, naturally the better Shen Mu is, the better, and he will not feel that the other party's words and deeds have stolen his own limelight.

As for Fang Catcher, in fact, he is more bold, he can be the head catcher of Taiping County, it is really because he has a few strokes under his hands, and he once caught a burglar who killed people, and he became famous all of a sudden.

In addition, he is a side branch of the Fang family of the big clan in this county, although he has already come out of the five suits, but in this era of strong clan concepts, although this catcher is a small official who is not a miscellaneous servant, but the Fang family has also come forward to some extent.

This is why Fang has been the head catcher for so many years, and he has been sitting firmly in the position of head catcher.

In the past few days, so many things have happened in Taiping County, Fang Zhutou is actually very worried, if he can't solve the case as soon as possible, the county commander is under great pressure, and he will be given a deadline to solve the case, what should he do?

In the past, there were trivial things on the street, all of which were within the county, and as long as he mobilized all his forces, it was not difficult to find out.

But now the death of the Tsing Yi Jinyi Guard in the woods, as well as the black-clothed masked man whose identity is a mystery, and the dead Mei Gongzi, these people are all foreign demons.

But they also went to Taiping County to make trouble, which made him, a local monk, really have no clue about handling the case.

Now, as soon as this Shen family kid participated, he discovered so much in one day.

This made him a little grateful for the genius stroke of Lord Jinyi Wei Liang Baihu who stuffed the Shen family kid in, and how could he be jealous of the Shen family's boy's words.

He wished that the Shen family's kid was extremely smart, and he could help him find out these cases as soon as possible, and then send away all the demons and immortals who should be sent away, so that Taiping County could return to the peace and tranquility of the past.

So, he waved his hand and said: "Shen Jiaxian's nephew, your brain is spinning fast, your Uncle Fang's brain is slower, you can say anything you think of in the future, we can discuss it together, and we can figure out this case as soon as possible, so that we can give an explanation to the county magistrate and the people of the county." ”

He saw that Xia Inspector had always called Shen Mu, the son of a ruffian, a virtuous nephew, and he was no longer reserved at this time, and he also called out with his virtuous nephew and nephew.

Shen Mu saw that what Xia and Fang said seemed to be sincere, and he really didn't mind that he should take the lead in everything, so he continued to turn the topic to the tunnel.

"What else did you find down there, besides this tunnel leading to the woods?"

"Lord Hui, Fang Tou, Shen Gongzi, we also found a few black clothes and three knives in the tunnel."

The little man who had gone down the tunnel before unfolded the things in his hand for Shen Mu and them to see clearly.

"These clothes are very similar to those of the dead men in black."

Xia Inspector reached out and touched the material of the clothes.

"What Uncle Xia said is that this knife is also the same as the saber of the black-clothed man next to the corpse of the eldest brother in Jinyiwei." Shen Mu also said.

On that day, he checked the swords on the three people who fought against Tsing Yi Jinyi, and remembered the style of the knife deeply, it was indeed the same style.

I just don't know if this style of knife is very popular in Daming?

"There's a word on it on this knife." Compared to a few pieces of clothing, Fang Zhutou had his eyes on those knives from the beginning.

After taking it in his hand and looking at it carefully for a while, he immediately found that the knife was actually engraved with words on the handle.

"C-word thirteen!"

"T-zero two!"

"Gengzi two-five!"

He read it out.

The numbers on the three knives are different, could it be that this is a batch of forged knives.

Shen Mu has limited information now, and he is not familiar with this kind of knife weapon of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't speak rashly, but wanted to hear the opinions of the Xia Patrol Inspector first.

Hearing this, Xia Inspector put down the clothes in his hand, and also took the knives and looked them up and down.

At that time, Shen Mu felt that the quality of the knives used by the man in black was not good, but it was also a knife that he was accustomed to seeing the exquisite craftsmanship of later generations, and all kinds of knives that were sharpened like clay and looked exquisite on the assembly line, so he naturally looked down on such knives. In fact, judging from the forging level of this era, the craftsmanship and quality of these knives are still good.

"Fang Zhutou, do you think these knives are very similar to the sabers commonly used by the guards and soldiers?" After inspecting Xia for a moment, his expression was solemn.

"My subordinates feel like it." Fang Zhutou's face was not good-looking at the moment.
