Xing'er smiled slightly, put down the insole, went into the bedroom to make a bed for Yang Tashan, brought water to wash him, served him to bed, and then went to sleep outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the following days, the arresters and minzhuang who had been discharged for investigation came back one after another, and the news brought back was that those people had returned to their hometowns safely and were not missing. In the end, only three or four from the distant counties and townships of northern Shaanxi have not returned.

Cheng Ziqin's face has become more and more ugly, if the remaining three or four bring back the same news, then this clue will be interrupted, Yang Tashan really doesn't know where to start, do you want to issue a national search notice? This kind of search for people is no better than the national sea fishing, which requires mobilization from top to bottom, each with its own responsibility for investigation and search, and the search for the source of the corpse does not exist, and this kind of case is not yet the turn of the whole country to search for people.

The maggots raised by Yang Tashan have grown healthily, and some of them have turned into pupa. He has to make observations every day, waiting for the flies to break out of the chrysalis to see what flies are coming out, and then judge the more accurate time of death according to the growth of the flies.

These days, there is no big deal, and I either sit in the yamen class room all day long, or I patrol the streets with a waist knife. Some public security cases that occurred could be resolved by the patrols and arresters of each group, and at most the team leader would come forward, and there was no need for Cheng Ziqin and Yang Tashan, the two arresters, to come forward to deal with them.

After a few days, the maggots raised by Yang Tashan finally feathered into adults, and after observation, it was determined that there were two kinds of flies, namely the mercerized green fly and the red-headed fly, and the exact time of death was deduced about five days before the discovery of the corpse.

Yang Tashan told Cheng Ziqin the news, although this result has no practical significance at present, but once the suspect is found, this time will play a key role.

A few days later, the people who were sent to investigate the village of Crooked Huai in Huanxian County at the foot of the Great Wall finally brought back good news, they found that a peasant woman named Wu in the village had not returned after going out to escape the famine.

After preliminary investigation, the father of the Wu family had starved to death in the famine, and his mother and her husband Zhao Shun went out to flee the famine, and finally only her husband returned, claiming that on the way to escape with his wife and mother-in-law, his mother-in-law starved to death, and the husband and wife later separated, he fled alone, and finally returned to the village alone, and his wife has not returned to the village until now. They have notified the village Lizheng and sent Minzhuang to monitor Zhao Shun and his relatives, and they are not allowed to go out at will and wait for the investigation.

When I got the news, it was already evening, and Cheng Ziqin's surname was anxious, so she decided to set off immediately to investigate.

Cheng Ziqin was originally going to leave Yang Tashan, the deputy head catcher, to watch the house, but Yang Tashan's detection ability left a deep impression on Cheng Ziqin, and this time the source of the corpse was found, and it also benefited from Yang Tashan's accurate restoration of the head of the deceased who was at a height [***], which found an important clue that the deceased was a desert escape, otherwise, let alone solving the case, it was not even clear who the deceased was. Therefore, if Yang Tashan did not follow him to investigate, Cheng Ziqin always felt that he had no bottom in his heart, so he decided to take Yang Tashan with him, and the affairs of the Yamen Capture were temporarily taken care of by the first group leader Tie Ta Luo Yi.

Cheng Ziqin was going to take a few catchers to follow, but Yang Tashan said that there were many people and they were slow to act, and solving cases was the same as fighting, and the soldiers were fast, and besides, both of them had martial arts, so there was no need to bring so many people. Just two of you can go.

Cheng Ziqin listened to Yang Tashan's words, his face was slightly red, and he nodded in agreement.

Yang Tashan hurriedly ran home and told Xing'er about it, this trip will take more than ten days, plus the investigation, I am afraid it will take more than half a month to come back. Xing'er hurriedly prepared a bag for Yang Tashan, that is, a few changes of clothes, and the travel expenses for this tolerance were paid from the monthly money of the fast class, so there was no need to prepare to be entangled, and only brought a few hundred pieces of money to stick to herself.

Yang Tashan carried the forensic evidence investigation box, said goodbye to Xing'er, and came to the yamen.

At this time, it was already evening, and the two of them each rode an official horse of the Yamen, rode out of the northern city, and headed north.

The two of them quickly whipped up their horses and ran thirty or forty miles, the sun had already set on the mountain, and when the last afterglow disappeared from the top of the mountain, the stars jumped out of the slowly darkening sky one after another, and looked curiously at the two horses galloping on the official road.

On the way, Cheng Ziqin didn't say a word, just rode his horse and galloped. Yang Tashan didn't speak, and followed behind as a stuffy gourd.

At the second watch, they rode their horses to Qingshaling, where the mountains are steep, the roads are narrow, and there are many curves, so they have no way to continue to gallop, so they can only ride their horses slowly.

At this time, the crescent moon hung obliquely on the horizon, illuminating the ground hazy, Yang Tashan couldn't help but say: "Cheng Catcher, such a good moonlight, let's just hurry, it's really a bit of a bad scenery." ”

Cheng Ziqin glanced back at him, with some grievances in his expression, snorted softly, did not speak, and still rode forward.

Yang Tashan said again: "Cheng catcher, in a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, maybe the two of us haven't rushed back to Qingyang Mansion, will we be homesick after the Mid-Autumn Festival on the road?" ”

Cheng Ziqin snorted again, but still didn't speak.

Yang Tashan suddenly remembered that Cheng Ziqin's parents were both dead and he was alone in Qingyang Mansion, how could there be any relatives to miss, and what family to think about. I couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Ziqin was a little strange, and looked back at him: "What kind of sigh?" ”

"Cheng Zhutou, your parents are dead, I ...... My parents are also far away, and this Mid-Autumn Festival night is probably also a general helplessness. ”

Cheng Ziqin glared at him fiercely again, beat the horse and galloped forward.

Yang Tashan was a little inexplicable, how could he be angry when he was so good. hurriedly rode a horse to catch up, to go with her, but Cheng Ziqin seemed to be very angry, and galloped with all his strength, and in this hazy night, he almost stepped on the air and fell down the mountain several times.

Yang Tashan was very anxious, and shouted urgently in the back: "Cheng catches the head!" Be careful, become a catcher ......! ”

Cheng Ziqin reined in the horse violently, and said hatefully: "If you don't shout a word about Cheng Zhutou, will you die?" Hum! With a flick of the reins, he galloped up the hill again.

Yang Tashan was stunned for a moment, then remembered what the two of them said at Cheng Ziqin's house, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Ziqin! Slow down and be careful of falling! ”

Hearing this, Cheng Ziqin's body shook slightly in the dark, and then slowed down the horse's hooves. Yang Tashan chased after him and said anxiously: "Ziqin, it's so dark, you run around the horse, what if the horse falls down the mountain when it is empty?" ”

"Forget it! No one hurts anyway! After Cheng Ziqin said this, she realized that some girls were coquettish, and she couldn't help blushing.

Yang Tashan smiled: "How can no one hurt?" I'm so distressed. ”

Cheng Ziqin's body trembled slightly, felt that her cheeks were hot, turned her head and looked at Yang Tashan deeply, and said softly: "You will feel sorry for me?" ”

"Why don't you feel distressed?" Yang Tashan looked loyal, "You are our head catcher, we don't feel sorry for you, who is distressed?" ”

Chengziqin was angry, twisted his face, shook the reins and galloped away. No matter what Yang Tashan called in the back, he just ignored it and rushed to the top of the mountain, and then he grabbed the reins.

Yang stepped on the mountain and came up immediately, and saw her beautiful silhouette on the mountain in the cold moonlight from a distance, the evening breeze blowing, the clothes and belts fluttering, indescribably handsome, and praised in his heart, and rode a horse to her side, not daring to speak, and quietly accompanied her.

Cheng Ziqin looked at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, and then said: "There are still several hours to go to the market town in front, and we are afraid that we can only sleep in Qingshaling." ”

Yang Tashan said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, it's hot now, and I don't feel bored on top of this!" He looked around, saw a small forest not far away, and said, "Let's go to the grove to rest, we can block the wind, so as not to injure our bodies by the wind and cold." ”

Cheng Ziqin nodded, rode his horse to the grove first, turned over and dismounted, tied the horse's reins, took a package from the horse's back and unfolded it on the ground, took out two rope woven hammocks, threw one to Yang Tashan, took one and found two suitable trees to tie.

Yang Tashan smiled: "It turns out that you have already prepared a hammock, I said how do you walk at night." ”

Cheng Ziqin said lukewarmly: "If you want to be a fast catcher, don't be afraid of hard work." After tying it up, he rolled over and got into the hammock: "Okay, go to sleep." ”

Yang Tashan has never slept in a hammock, seeing that she is sleeping peacefully, it looks very comfortable, I don't feel a little envious, I followed her example to tie the two ends of the hammock on two trees, and rolled on the hammock very chic as soon as I turned over, but I didn't expect to not grasp the balance well, and I used too much force, and I fell down from the other side and fell heavily on the grass.

Cheng Ziqin couldn't help but laugh: "Haven't you slept in a hammock?" ”

Yang Tashan climbed up and said with a sneer: "No ......" was unconvinced, was his martial arts practiced in vain? I couldn't even get a hammock, so I grabbed the end of the hammock with both hands and flew up to it.

But sleeping in a hammock requires skill, but it is not a martial arts can sleep well, this time the balance is still not mastered, the hammock turned over, turned him under the hammock, he grasped it firmly with both hands, hooked the hammock with both feet, although it did not fall, but hung under the hammock like an ape, and now I don't know whether he slept in the bed or the bed slept on him.

Cheng Ziqin rolled in the hammock with laughter. Yang Tashan had no choice but to let go of his hand and fall on the grass, got up, and saw that Cheng Ziqin was fine no matter how he tossed in the hammock, he was a little ashamed, and said: "Why does this hammock only listen to you and not listen to me?" Why don't I sleep with you? ”
