Chapter 21: A Bunch Without Eggs
Now it is the midsummer season, although there is a lot of work in the farmland, but it can't bear the hot day, most of the people in the village will hide at home to enjoy the cool, Lei Dazhuang didn't take long to bring back a person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A bare-chested little kid.
"Lord, this little bastard knows where that family is."
"Sister Tongni." Chen Fang stretched out his hand and slapped Lei Dazhuang on the back of the head, and scolded: "Am I the boss, tell me about Mao." ”
"Ah, who are you talking to?" Lei Dazhuang said ignorantly.
"Hey!" Chen Fang raised his hand, shocked Lei Dazhuang's head shrank, and hurriedly walked in front of Tang Yun with the child, and respectfully arched his hand: "My lord, this little Wang, the little guy knows where that family is." ”
"Poof, ahem, that, lead the way." Tang Yun couldn't help but smile and said with a straight face.
Lei Dazhuang responded with a "yes", greeted his brothers, and walked in front of Tang Yun with the child to lead the way.
Pengjiawan said that it is not big, it is not small, the whole village is about 50 households, from a distance, there are many houses, and the housing is relatively concentrated, but the child did not take everyone to the center of the village, but bypassed a fruit forest, and crossed two small river embankments, and walked to a relatively remote boundary.
After walking for about a few minutes, the little kid who led the way in front suddenly stopped, pointed to the front and said, "Master Guancha, that is the home of Peng Laoshi." ”
In fact, there is no need for him to introduce, the scene in front of him has already explained everything.
A scorched black ruined wall, the whole house has burned down, from the charred ground is not difficult to see the size of the fire at that time, at this moment the summer wind blows, raising ashes, the air can still smell a trace of fire, at a glance can feel the burst of heat, as if the fire has not burned out.
The surroundings of the house were very messy, and a few catchers were picking at the flowers with their sabers, as if they were looking for clues, but more like they were doing perfunctory work. I believe that these people are the people in Tang Yun's mouth, led by the big catcher and Lei Hubao, who went out in advance to investigate.
In addition to a few catchers, there is also a group of lively villagers, who are not afraid of the scorching sun above their heads, gathering around the ruins, talking to each other, and most of their words are afraid.
On the opposite side of the villagers, there are two old straw mats, and half a human figure can be faintly seen from the side, and it is believed that under the straw mats are the pair of bitter mandarin ducks that were burned to death.
The village of Pengjiawan is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, his eyes are very sharp, and he saw Tang Yun dressed in an official uniform from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him and bowed down to greet him.
The murder case was in front of him, Tang Yun didn't care about saying anything more to him, and after tapping his head in response, he approached the scene of the crime.
"Thunder catcher, did you find anything?" At the same time as Tang Yun asked, a nine-foot body, bearded sideburns, a pair of copper bell giant eyes, and even a terrifying appearance walked over quickly, and hummed: "My lord, it is messy at the moment, and I haven't found too many clues, but according to the confessions of the village and the villagers, this family's water walking should be caused by an accident." ”
"How?" Tang Yun said.
"According to the village and a group of villagers, yesterday was the day of the Pengjiawan Festival, as in previous years, both men and women, the big guys have drunk a lot of wine, the bitter master Peng Laoshi is greedy for drinks on weekdays, and yesterday was even more reckless drunk, I believe that it is because of this that he got up at night to pee and knocked down the candle flame, coupled with the recent hot weather, the wood is dry and dry, resulting in a tragedy."
It is common to get up to drink water and pee at night when drunk, listening to Lei Hubao say this, the people present nodded their heads to indicate that it makes sense, although Tang Yun has been in office for some days, but there is not much ability to investigate the case, many times it is based on the rich experience of the fast catchers to make the judgment, this will listen to Lei Hubao's conclusive words, and there will be no too many doubts, and they are preparing to ask the villagers for a confession according to the routine to facilitate the record, but at this time, a discordant voice reached the ears of everyone.
"Fart, this is murder and arson!"
Murder and arson are a vicious case in any era, Chen Fang's sudden words caused an uproar in an instant, and they all looked up in the direction where the sound came, but everyone was surprised to find that Chen Fang had uncovered the two old mats and squatted in front of the two corpses when everyone was not paying attention.
"Who are you, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Lei Hubao was very dissatisfied with Chen Fang's statement of overturning his judgment, but just as he frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction, the eldest nephew Lei Dazhuang embarrassedly whispered into his ear and explained: "Uncle, this is our adult's newly hired man, a very bull-nosed guy." ”
"Serving?" After Lei Hubao snorted coldly to himself, he turned to Chen and asked in a loud voice: "Then what did this master see was not an accident, but a murder and arson?" ”
"That's right, Brother Chen, do you have any reliable evidence?" Tang Yun also asked curiously, but there was no contempt in his words, all he was just worried, there was a murder under his rule, it was not a trivial matter, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the death of a person was a manifestation of the official's immorality, and it should be recorded in the official assessment.
"I said you might not believe it, so why don't you all come and take a look." Chen Fang did not explain the reason, but motioned for everyone to come and observe the condition of the corpse.
Whether it was dissatisfaction or questioning, Chen Fang's words successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, Tang Yun, Xiaohong, and a group of arresters surrounded one after another, staring wide-eyed to find clues or evidence of murder and arson from the deceased.
But when they saw the corpse in front of them clearly, everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.
Two charred corpses were placed side by side on the two broken door panels, and the hair, skin, and flesh were no longer visible, and the only thing that could be seen was the carbonized appearance and the outline of the human form. The two bodies were burned to the same extent, but what was surprising was that the two bodies were in different shapes, one of them lying on the ground, his limbs straight, looking very serene, very serene.
Compared with the first one, the appearance of the other body is much worse, the whole humanoid is curled into a ball, the waist and limbs are twisted in an exaggerated posture, a pair of charred hands are curved and outlined like eagle claws, the abdomen is charred and cracked, and the internal organs that have been roasted and baked out of oil can be faintly seen.
In addition to the cracks, the deceased's two black holes are even more straight to meet everyone's sight, even if it is the hot midsummer, everyone's back can still feel a cool air from behind, disgusting, terrifying.
"...... Uproar"
I don't know which one was the first to be unbearable and vomited, in this special time, under a special environment, the sudden vomiting will be like nail fungus.
One is contagious.
After seeing the current situation of the corpse clearly, almost everyone couldn't hold back the nerve line in their hearts, and ran to the side to vomit, and the voices came and went, playing a unique symphony.
Nine out of ten caught and vomited quickly, Tang Yun and Xiaohong, a pair of masters and servants, did not let much, they had already vomited, but as women, they were not the worst, Lei Dazhuang, a muscular hunk who vomited more fiercely than them, with a very loud voice, was a street aunt who had suffered a disgusting thing, and she didn't show her strength at all.
Of course, there are also people who are relatively calm, and the best of them is the well-informed Lei Tiger Leopard, whose face is ugly, but very calm. The second is the little catcher who stabbed Lei Dazhuang, his face was just pale, and he calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
"A bunch of useless eggs." Chen Fang muttered quietly.
