The morning in Bazhong was light and cool, and Huo Xin took the servants to the place where the body was found.

Yesterday it was a barren place, but now it is only bare land.

They went their separate ways in the early morning, and about an hour after looking for it, one of the officials found a broken piece of silver under a stone, which was not very heavy, but it was enough for a man to eat and drink in an inn.

After the official informed Huo Xin of this incident, he hurriedly searched nearby, and finally found another broken silver, but except for these two broken silver, the others were never found.

Huo Xin took the broken silver, frowned slightly, and then immediately led people to the post house.

After showing the broken silver to Su Wuming, Su Wuming was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that in that kind of place, no one should throw broken silver, but now that the broken silver has really been found, then there is only one explanation, those broken silver was hidden by someone, there may have been a lot of it before, but it was taken away later.

Linked to what happened in the last two days, it is not difficult to speculate that Zhang Yu hid money in that place, and went to that place to get money every night, and the night he was killed, it seemed that he was going to get money.

But who took Zhang Yu's money later?

Is it Wu Pi? The relationship between the two is good, and the only person who knows that Zhang Yu is rich is that Wu Pi, right?

Thinking of this, Su Wuming looked at Huo Xin and asked, "What has been investigated about that Wu Pi?" ”

"We investigated, he and Zhang Yu visited the Qinglou a few days ago, and then he never came back, and as for the night Zhang Yu was killed, he still insisted that he was drinking at home."

"Let's ask again, I think the money that Zhang Yu hid in that place was given by Wu Pi, if he doesn't answer honestly, he will be tortured."

Su Wuming frowned slightly, his eyes full of murderous aura.

After Huo Xin received the order, he went to the county office.

Entering the county jail, Huo Xin sent someone to pull Wu Pi over, at first Huo Xin was kind to ask, but he couldn't ask anything, and finally he was angry, so he ordered the jailer to take out the torture tools.

After using two things on Wu Pi, Wu Pi immediately confessed everything he knew, a scoundrel like him couldn't stand the punishment the most, and Su Wuming also guessed that it would be like this, so he signaled Huo Xin to be punished.

Wu Pi couldn't stand the punishment and confessed everything.

"On the night Zhang Yu was killed, the little one was indeed drinking at home, but the little one was not alone, but the wine he drank with Zhang Yu, but the villain really didn't kill anyone, and the reason why the villain invited him to drink was just to find out where his money was hidden."

"How do you know he's hiding money?"

"Back to the adult's words, it's like this, this Zhang Yu didn't know where he got a lot of money one day, and then he invited me to visit the Qinglou, when the two of us had a very happy time, but then he never invited me again, I knew that he killed pigs, it was impossible to have so much money, so I inquired in many ways, and later found out this, but he has always refused to tell me where he hid the money, even the night he was killed, he didn't tell me."

"Then how did you find the money that Zhang Yu was hiding?"

"My lord knows it, in fact, this is the case, the next day I heard that Zhang Yu was killed, and the place where he was killed was in that wild grass, at that time, I thought, what did Zhang Yu do in that place in the middle of the night? Could it be that I hid the money in that place, after thinking so in my heart, I quietly went to that place, and when no one was around, I searched the place carefully, and finally let me find the money that Zhang Yu hid, although most of it had been spent, but the rest was enough for me to spend a few months. ”

After Wu Pi said this, Huo Xin thought about it for a while, and felt that it was impossible for Wu Pi to deceive people, and if this was the case, then the murderer would be someone else, but who would that person be?

After telling Su Wuming about these news, Su Wuming pondered for a while and felt that the murderer was killing people in that place, there were two situations, one was that he knew that Zhang Yu had hidden money in that place and had been waiting there for Zhang Yu to take the bait, and the other was that the murderer followed Zhang Yu and then killed him while he was unprepared.

Judging from the fact that the money was taken away by Wu Pi, the most likely is the second type, where the murderer followed Zhang Yu.

And since the murderer followed Zhang Yu, then the murderer must have felt that he killed Zhang Yu a long time ago, judging from the murderer's means of killing Zhang Yu, the two seem to have a deep hatred like the sea.

What kind of person is it that hates Zhang Yu so much?

Su Wuming looked at Huo Xin and asked his own questions, but Zhang Yu was quite helpless at this time, he basically asked all the people who had a gap with Zhang Yu, but the result was not ideal, those people seemed to have alibi proof, of course, it was late at that time, they said to rest at home, which no one could say.

These people have alibi certificates, and they don't have alibi certificates, and there is really nothing they can do about them.

After Huo Xin went back, he had to continue to investigate Zhang Yu's situation.

And on the night when Huo Xin was investigating, another murder occurred in Bazhong County.

The man who was killed was an innkeeper, a very young innkeeper who was said to have inherited the inn not long ago.

The innkeeper did not die in his own home, but in the streets.

The innkeeper's surname is Hu Mingming, the place where he lives is some distance from the inn, after the inn closes, he goes home alone, and at this time, he was killed, the body is miserable, similar to Zhang Yu's, he was stabbed dozens of times, and several intestines were poked out, but what makes people feel strange is that it did not ruin his face.

The next day, when the people of Bazhong County came out of their homes and walked on the street to see the corpses, they couldn't help but feel sick and wanted to vomit, their pale faces, bright red blood, and black crawling with flies, so disgusting that they didn't want to eat for several days.

Soon, some people reported the case to the county government, and when Huo Xin heard that there was another murder, he couldn't help but be surprised, he couldn't believe that it was true, and he felt that he was really unfortunate that at this juncture, there were murders one after another.

But even so, Huo Xin had no choice but to take people to the scene of the murder.

The scene of the murder was a street, and when they went, many people surrounded them, but no one dared to approach, and when Huo Xin saw the corpse, he couldn't help but vomit, almost vomiting out his bile.

Several officials disposed of the corpse, and then examined it by the servant, and after doing this, the servant made a report, saying that it was similar to the death of Zhang Yu.

Huo Xin frowned slightly, and immediately sent someone to inform the family of the deceased.

There was only one lady in the deceased Hu Ming's family, and when that lady came, her clothes were still quite charming, because it was too hot in summer, and she didn't wear a lot, and she walked on the street, attracting the attention of men on the street.

After Mrs. Hu saw that her husband was killed, she suddenly began to cry, but the corpse was simply terrifying, so even if she was crying, she didn't dare to pounce forward.

Mrs. Hu cried a lot, but Huo Xin sent someone to call her not to hear her cry here, Huo Xin looked at Mrs. Hu and said, "Your husband didn't go home last night, so you didn't feel suspicious?" ”

Mrs. Hu stopped crying and said: "My lord, my husband is an inn, if it closes late, he will rest in the inn, and it is very rare to go home at night, the husband did not go home, and the woman really didn't feel suspicious, but when the official went to the house to report the news, the woman still felt that this was unlikely, my husband was kind to others, how could he be killed, he had no enemies at all!" ”

After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, she cried again, Huo Xin frowned slightly: "In the past few days, has your husband had any conflicts with anyone?" ”

"No, there is absolutely no thing, my husband runs an inn, and he pays attention to smiling and welcoming people, how can he have conflicts with others."

"Then what's wrong with your husband?"

"No, what can my husband be abnormal!"

Huo Xin frowned slightly, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Can Hu Ming know Zhang Yu, the butcher in the north of the city?" ”

Mrs. Hu was slightly stunned, she naturally heard about Zhang Yu's killing, at this time, she nodded again and again: "I know, I know you since I was a child." ”

"Have the two of them been dating in the past few days?"

"In the past, the pork in our inn was bought from Zhang Yu's family, but later my husband felt that Zhang Yu's pork was short of two catties, so he decided not to buy their pork, and Zhang Yu had a big fight with my husband because of this incident, and I hated to scold the eight generations of my ancestors at that time."

Mrs. Hu's words made Huo Xin have some more surprising understanding, for example, the two deceased were actually small before, and there were conflicts, but now both of them have been killed, and they were killed by the murderer so violently, what is the murderer's motive for killing?

Huo Xin couldn't understand this, so after asking Mrs. Hu a few times, he ordered Mrs. Hu to take the body away, when Mrs. Hu left, a servant found that the corner of Mrs. Hu's mouth showed a smile, and felt very suspicious, so he told Huo Xin, Huo Xin frowned slightly, and secretly ordered: "You send someone to investigate this Mrs. Hu, Hu Ming rarely goes home at night, and it may be difficult for a woman like him to stay alone in an empty room." ”

The official received the order and hurriedly found someone to secretly investigate Mrs. Hu with him, and at this time, Huo Xin walked to the post house against the heat and entered the post house, although Huo Xin was a little hesitant, afraid that the murder that happened again would make Su Wuming very angry, but he still told Su Wuming about the murder that happened again, as well as the clues he investigated.
