Throughout the night, Su Wuming was struggling, whether he should listen to Wen Wan'er and Nangong Yan's Jianyi, and help Nangong Yin and Hua Rou Girl match, and he entered his dream in this entanglement.

When he woke up the next day, Su Wuming was very sleepy, feeling sleepy and weak, Wen Wan'er asked the accompanying doctor to come to diagnose, and after the doctor saw it, he said: "The adult is damp into the body, I'm afraid I have to rest for a few days, the old man will show you a few doses of medicine, and it will be fine after eating." ”

The condition was not very serious, so the imperial doctor prescribed a list, and then ordered someone to grab the medicine.

Su Wuming originally wanted to leave Bazhong today, but in the current situation, he was afraid that he couldn't.

Although Su Wuming wanted to do his best to investigate Du Ru's disappearance, compared to that incident, his own life was the most important thing.

After the medicine was bought, Wen Wan'er boiled up herself, and at this time, Huo Xin hurriedly ran over, as soon as he saw Su Wuming sick, he forgot the purpose of this trip for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, although Su Wuming's expression was poor, but his head was still quite sober, and said: "Master Huo, this official is only afraid that he will be bothering this place for a few days." ”

"It's the lower official's poor care that made Master Su sick, it's the lower official's sin!"

After Huo Xin said this, Su Wuming suddenly asked, "Lord Huo came in a hurry just now, but what's the matter?" "Originally, Huo Xin should have come to see him off today, but the send-off shouldn't be in such a hurry.

Being asked by Su Wuming, Huo Xin suddenly remembered, so he hurriedly said: "Master Su, something is wrong, Bazhong...... There was a homicide in Bazhong County. ”

"Homicide?" Su Wuming frowned slightly, in fact, there are murders in every place, which is not surprising, but the occurrence of murders must be sinful, no matter what, Su Wuming feels that he must take it seriously.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Back to Lord Su's words, it's like this, early this morning, someone came to the county government to report the case, saying that their man had not returned home last night, so he searched everywhere the next day, and found the body of her man in a deserted suburb in the north of the city."

"Has the body ever been sent for an inquest now?"

"Sent, I said that there were thirty-four knife wounds on the corpse, five of which were fatal, oops, the lower official went to the scene to take a look, it was miserable!"

Su Wuming was slightly stunned, judging from the injuries on the corpse, this was a very bad homicide, but now he was inconvenienced, and he couldn't go to the scene to take a look.

"How is Lord Huo going to investigate?"

This can stump Huo Xin, originally the death case in the place under his jurisdiction is very dangerous in the inspection of political achievements, he saw that Su Wuming was there, so he wanted to ask Su Wuming to help investigate, but now in this situation, he is afraid that he will not be able to say if he wants to ask Su Wuming to investigate.

Huo Xin's forehead sweated, and he said, "The lower officials must try their best to investigate, and they must find out the murderer, but it's just ...... It's just that Xia Guan is not good at dealing with this kind of thing, so he has to listen to Lord Su's opinion. ”

Listening to Huo Xin say this, it can be seen that he is not a very capable person, but fortunately, he is willing to tell the truth, Su Wuming nodded: "Now that this official is in this situation, I am afraid that I can't go to the scene to investigate, you can tell me about the investigation situation, and the official will analyze it." ”

Huo Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The deceased person is a man named Zhang Yu, who killed pigs in the north of the city, he is a butcher, and he usually likes to drink two sips, according to his family, the night when Zhang Yu did not come back, he went out to drink, but who he drank with, but the family did not know." ”

"So what is this Zhang Yu's usual personality, and who can he have enmity with?"

"This Zhang Yu, because he killed pigs, his temper is very short-tempered, whoever provokes him, he wants to fight with people, and often has conflicts with people, once because the price of pigs is unreasonable, he got up with people, and the customer was broken bones, so usually, when he saw that he was selling meat, no one dared to buy it."

"As for who he has a grudge with, that's a lot, and the neighbors around him hate him."

After Huo Xin finished speaking, Su Wuming fell into deep thought, but soon, he ordered: "Since this is the case, then you should go and investigate first, who Zhang Yu drank with last night, and after the investigation is clear, then investigate those who have a grudge against Zhang Yu one by one, this, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”

This matter, for Huo Xin, seemed to be impossible to start, but in front of Su Wuming, he categorically did not dare to say no, and after responding again and again, he got up and retired.

After Huo Xin left, Wen Wan'er brought the cold medicine to Su Wuming, although it was very bitter, Su Wuming still drank it in one go, and after drinking, Nangong Yan asked, "Su Lang, do you feel better?" ”

Su Wuming smiled bitterly in his heart, if it weren't for the words of the two of you last night, he wouldn't have suffered this crime, but Su Wuming was very strange, why was he so entangled, didn't he always have no thoughts about Miss Hua Rou? Although Nangong Yin's ability is not as good as his own, he can be regarded as a leader in the court, and he is also a good man, and the two of them are quite suitable together?

But why are you entangled?

Could it be that I invisibly fell in love with Miss Hua Rou?

A woman like Miss Hua Rou, any man will like it after seeing it, but for Su Wuming, he really doesn't want to hurt his two wives.

Su Wuming was a little stunned, knowing that Nangong Yan had touched him, he reacted, and then hurriedly said, "Okay, I don't feel so groggy anymore." ”

Seeing this, Wen Wan'er hurriedly pulled Nangong Yan up: "Xianggong needs to recuperate, let's not disturb him, and Xianggong still needs to think about the case." ”

After Nangong Yan was pulled away, the whole room quieted down, and the sunlight shone in through the window lattice, warm, hot, but it was also quiet, Su Wuming let out a long sigh, and then suddenly felt a little sleepy.

After Huo Xin left the post house, his forehead was covered with sweat, he felt that this murder case was too inopportune, and Su Wuming's illness was too inopportune, if he couldn't investigate this murder case clearly, then his position as a county commander would be unstable.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Huo Xin hurriedly returned to the county office and instructed Su Wuming to arrange the matter, Bazhong County was not very big in the Tang Dynasty, and it shouldn't be a difficult thing to investigate who was drinking with Zhang Yu last night.

Bazhong County is not big, and there are only a few inns and taverns, and if you make an exclusionary inquiry, you will definitely be able to ask clearly.

And after Huo Xin gave such an order, he found a catcher again and went with him to the place where the corpse was released.

The place where the corpse was issued was very barren, overgrown with weeds, and there were no people around, the corpse was among the weeds at that time, Huo Xin carefully checked around where the corpse was found, the sweat on his body flowed, and several catchers wanted to persuade him to go back to rest, but he vetoed it.

Now in front of Su Wuming, he must do his best to find the murderer.

After searching the vicinity of the corpse several times, it was found that there was no blood around except for the small area where the corpse was parked, that is, the body of the deceased was not brought here after being killed, but was suddenly attacked and killed by the murderer when the deceased walked here.

It's just that this one is so desolate, what are the dead doing here?

Huo Xin wiped the sweat from his face, looked around, his eyes were full of weeds, and further on, there was a city wall, a dead end, and there was nothing in that place, a normal person would definitely not come to this place at night?

Unless the deceased came here and was invited to do so, is the one who made him an appointment a murderer?

If Zhang Yu was invited here by the murderer, then the person who drank with him was not the murderer?

Perhaps, it was the person who drank with him, after drinking, brought him here, and then took advantage of his surprise to kill him, the murderer stabbed Zhang Yu's body so much, how much he hated him!

After opening up his mind like this, Huo Xin found that he was not as stupid as he imagined, and many things could be thought of when he thought about it like this, and when he realized this, he suddenly felt very excited, because he knew very well that if he could solve this case alone, he would definitely be able to leave a good impression on Su Wuming, so that after Su Wuming returned to Beijing, he would have to be promoted.

Because of this, Huo Xin was full of confidence for a while.

"Let's go and have a look at the deceased's house."

Huo Xin felt that maybe in Zhang Yu's home, it was not necessary to be able to find some clues.

Zhang Yu's home is in the north of the city, is a small yard, which lives Zhang Yu's mother-in-law and his old father, his old father is also a butcher, killing pigs, a few years ago because of his age, he passed on this family business to Zhang Yu, although Zhang Yu's father is old, but he is also a violent temper, but now his son has been killed, and has not left an heir, which can make him sad, crying and sorrowful, thinking about the bloodline of the Zhang family, so it was cut off, and he is already over sixty years old, I don't know if I can gain anything.

When Huo Xin and the others came to Zhang Yu's house, they could smell the smell of blood from a distance, and the sound of crying never stopped, there was a pile of pork in a corner of the yard, which was crawling with flies at this time, and the people who came to this house had no intention of caring about the pork, and it was difficult to say whether anyone could buy it.

When the people in the family saw Huo Xin coming, they suddenly rushed over and knelt down, crying and asking Huo Xin to find out the murderer quickly and avenge the pillars of their family.

And Huo Xin, why don't you want to catch the murderer?
