After Tong Zhen finished his analysis, Li Mu, who was standing on the side, interjected: "This is impossible, because most of these monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and other religious people are somewhat involved with the Heaven and Earth Society.

In order to prevent these people from propagating the ideas of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was very sensitive to the movements of such people, and set up a special ministry responsible for educating the ideological and cognitive views of such people, and in addition, the imperial court was also extremely concerned about the whereabouts of such people.

The imperial court has a clear stipulation that all monks, nuns, Taoists, and such personnel who stop in a certain place for more than a day must go to the local yamen for the record, and the yamen in various places are worried that there will be monks, nuns, Taoists, and people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty in the middle, so the supervision of this aspect is relatively strong

So even if the nun you are talking about has just entered the county, as long as she has been in the county for more than a day, then I should have her information here, unless she has been in the county for less than a day. ”

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Liu Hua and the three of them all fell into silence, and Tong Zhen said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Could it be that the deceased was killed just half a day after coming to Yunhe County?" Isn't that incredible? ”

Liu Hua pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Li Mu next to him: "You are in charge of taking care of the household registration, may I ask, in your impression, in recent years or recently, has there been a nun around thirty years old who has come to stay in Canal County." ”

"I have only been in charge of this household registration house for about two years, and during my tenure, no head of a family has come here to register the records of monks and nuns' stays, and all the records before I took office are on this register, since there is no person you are looking for on it, it means that the person you are looking for may not be a nun." Li Mu explained softly.

Just when Li Mu's words fell, Huang Tianxiao, who was holding the register and flipping through it randomly, seemed to have discovered something? He took the register in his hand and looked at it under the lantern, and then said in shock: "Li Mu, why is there a page missing from the back of this register?" ”

"What? Impossible" Li Mu walked to Huang Tianxiao suspiciously, and then looked down at the register in his hand, it didn't matter, he really found a trace of residual burn marks next to the last page of the register, the burn marks were very shallow, almost the same as the packaging line, if it wasn't for Huang Tianxiao's carefulness, I'm afraid no one would find this.

Liu Hua carefully looked at this household registration room, and found that the sealing of the house was very strong, and the four windows were sealed with green bricks.

After observing the structure of the house, Liu Hua said in a deep voice: "Li Mu, apart from you who have the key to this household registration house, do other people have a key?" In addition, has anyone come to the household registration house recently to store files? ”

"I am the only one who has the key to the household registration house, and no one else has it. As for the people who come here to store the archives? Li Mu recalled carefully, and then told Liu Hua: "At noon yesterday, Zhang Zhutou from the county government came to save the file. ”

"Zhang Zhutou? Zhang? What kind of file does he have? Liu Hua asked.

"It seems to be the file of all the outsiders in the county." After answering this sentence, Li Mu added: "Recently, there have been people from the Heaven and Earth Society in this county, so the county commander asked Zhang Zhutou to sort out the outsiders in this county, are there any people from the Heaven and Earth Society?" Therefore, Zhang Zhutou often comes to the household registration room to sort out the files recently. ”

"Every time Zhang Jun came to the household registration room to sort out the files, did you supervise the whole process?" Liu Hua stared at Li Mu tightly.

After hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he hesitated and said: "I supervised the whole process before, but in the later stage, I saw that nothing happened, and Zhang Zhutou was not an outsider, so I slacked off a little."

In the last two cases, including yesterday, I didn't go inside to supervise, but waited outside, do you mean to say that the missing page in this register was torn off by Zhang Catcher? ”

"If he didn't do it? That's what you did. After saying this, Liu Hua instructed Huang Tianxiao: "You immediately organize people to find Zhang Jun, although it is not yet certain that he is the murderer, but this person is suspected of committing a major crime." After speaking, Liu Hua and the three of them left the household registration room.

That night, all the catchers in the Yamen of Canal County were dispatched, and under the leadership of their old boss Huang Tianxiao, they almost turned over the county, and those residents in the city, after seeing the actions of the catchers, were quietly discussing, guessing whether something had happened in Canal County?

Because Huang Tianxiao was busy looking for Zhang Jun at night, Liu Hua and Tong Zhen helped take care of Huang Tianxiao's father at Huang Tianxiao's house, and after Huang Tianxiao's father fell asleep, Liu Hua and the two lived directly in Huang Tianxiao's house.

After a night of nothing, the next morning, Huang Tianxiao returned home, and after seeing Liu Hua and Tong Zhen, he said with a depressed face: "I took the brothers to toss all night, but I didn't find any trace of Zhang Jun at all.

Strange, where did this guy go? I searched his home, his friend's house, the residence of some of the people with whom he had a close personal relationship, and even the county's green building.

But this Zhang Jun seems to have disappeared out of thin air, there is no clue at all, the deputy chief catches the head, do you think Zhang Jun will be the murderer? After succeeding, he absconded in fear of sin. ”

"Oh? Disappeared into thin air? This matter is a bit strange, if Zhang Jun is the murderer, why did he send someone to report the case to the chief arrester yesterday morning? But if he wasn't the murderer, why didn't he show up until now, it's too unreasonable. Liu Hua rubbed his forehead with a headache.

At this time, Tong Zhen looked at Huang Tianxiao: "Tianxiao, how much do you know about this Zhang Jun?" How is he a person? ”

After hearing this, Huang Tianxiao recalled for a while, and then told Tong Zhen: "Zhang Jun is the distant nephew of Zhang Wanggu, the county commander, and he is twenty-four years old this year.

Although Zhang Jun is a little young and vigorous, eager for quick success, but in all fairness, he still has some talents, when handling cases, he can handle all the cases he takes over very beautifully, this person can be called a talent.

A few days after he came, he happened to have an accident at my house, and then I didn't go back to the county office, so I don't know him too well, but personally, I have a good impression of him, and I think he is a seedling worth cultivating. ”

Just as Huang Tianxiao introduced Liu Hua and the others here, a catcher hurriedly ran in from outside, and after meeting, the catcher said directly: "Huang Tou'er, we have found Zhang Jun." ”

"Oh? Is it? Where is he from now? After Huang Tianxiao heard this, he couldn't wait to ask.

Hearing Huang Tianxiao's inquiry, the catcher said hurriedly: "The inferior people were found in a mass grave in the northern suburbs of the county, but what we found was a corpse, because he hanged himself there. ”
