At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Hua and the others rushed to the canal county office, and after meeting with the local county order, Tong Zhen first briefly explained the case, and then he asked the county order for approval to transfer the files of the monks and nuns hired by the residents in the county to check it.

The name of the canal county commander is Zhang Wanggu, who is over fifty years old this year, his body is as fat as a water tank, and his two mustaches are very neatly repaired, his eyes are always squinted together, and he always has a smiling expression on his face.

After listening to Tong Zhen's words, Zhang Wanggu sighed with a sad face: "I have already heard the report of Zhang Jun, the acting head arrester of the county government, in this case, alas...... I can't imagine that there are still such villains now, and the other party is still committing murder in this county.

This morning, the county heard that Zhang Jun had sent someone to report the case to the chief arrester, and I thought that the chief arrester would come tomorrow, but I did not expect that the chief arrester and the deputy chief arrester acted so quickly, and in less than a day, the scene was investigated.

This Zhang Jun is really getting more and more presumptuous, after leaving me in the morning, he has not seen his figure, the chief catcher and the deputy chief catcher came here to help investigate the case, and he, the acting catcher, did not come forward to assist, it was really dereliction of duty. ”

I don't know what the road is for? Liu Hua's impression of this Zhang Wanggu was not very good, and after a perfunctory hello, Liu Hua asked Tong Zhen to come forward to be in charge of the entertainment, while he sat aside and observed the surroundings.

When observing, Liu Hua found that Huang Tianxiao didn't seem to be interested in this Zhang Wanggu, at this time, Tong Zhen sat on the top and greeted Zhang Wanggu, while Huang Tianxiao was bored on the other side to show himself palmistry.

Huang Tianxiao, who was looking down and busy showing himself palmistry, felt Liu Hua's gaze, looked up at him, looked at Gu Nu, and then shook his head with disdain, seeing this, Liu Hua smiled lightly, and then nodded in agreement.

When Tong Zhen and Zhang Wanggu were about to greet each other, Zhang Wanggu said to Huang Tianxiao: "Huang Zhutou, you work hard, lead Mr. Tong and Vice President Liu to the household registration room to check the registration book, all the households in this county that hire monks and nuns have files there." ”

After hearing this, Huang Tianxiao nodded, and then led Liu Hua and the others outside. Looking at the figures of the three of them leaving, a hint of strangeness flashed in Zhang Wanggu's smiling eyes, but then his expression returned to normal.

After coming to the household registration room, Huang Tianxiao said hello to Li Mu, who was in charge of taking care of the household registration room in front of the door, Li Mu was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed very sloppily, and his appearance was relatively vicissitudes.

After greeting Li Mu, Huang Tianxiao asked a little strangely, "Lao Li, what's wrong with you?" I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard? Still looking preoccupied, is there something going on at home? ”

"I'm tired of catching my head and worrying, I don't have anything to do, alas...... It's just that the condition of the cheap one is getting worse and worse. After the words fell, Li Mu looked at Huang Tianxiao, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "I have heard about the affairs of Huang Zhutou's family, and I hope that Huang Zhutou will come out of the shadows as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Li Mu's words of persuasion, a trace of sadness flashed on Huang Tianxiao's face, and after seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Liu Hua was stunned for a moment. The atmosphere around him was a little depressing, and he could only say: "Tianxiao, the past is over, don't be sad, don't forget that we still have business." ”

After being reminded by Liu Hua like this, Huang Tianxiao remembered the task of this trip, and after calming down his emotions, he explained his intention to Li Mu, and after hearing the purpose of the three people, Li Mu found a key, and then led the three of them into the household registration room.

Looking at the rows of cabinets in front of them, Liu Hua and the three of them didn't know where to start, at this time, Li Mu led the three of them to the row of cabinets on the far left side of the room, and then found a thick register:

"These are registers of outsiders in the homes of residents of the county, and this register records the residence records of all foreign monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and other religious personnel in the county within 50 years."

After speaking, Li Mu handed the register in his hand to Huang Tianxiao: "Huang Zhutou, here you go, you take a look at it, in order to prevent accidents in these files, I must supervise on the side."

This is the rule of the household registration house, not for some people, and please don't blame the three of you, of course, if you have any doubts, you can also ask me directly. ”

After taking the register, Huang Tianxiao nodded to Li Mu: "I know the rules of the road, don't worry, we won't embarrass you, just stand next to you." ”

When the words fell, Huang Tianxiao handed the register in his hand to Tong Zhen, glanced at the roster, Tong Zhen held the roster, and beckoned Liu Hua and Huang Tianxiao to go under the lantern next to him to check the roster, just like that, the three of them carefully looked at the information on the roster by the light.

With the passage of time, the roster in Tong Zhen's hand became thinner and thinner, and when he turned the last page, Tong Zhen couldn't help frowning: "According to the information recorded in the roster, in the past fifty years, a total of sixty-two nuns have stopped in Canal County.

Over the years, 41 nuns have left Canal County, and three of the remaining 21 nuns have passed away in the local area. As a result, there are still nineteen nuns left in Canal County.

According to the identity information on the nuns, seven of the nineteen nuns were over 60 years old, and the youngest of the remaining nuns was in their fifties. Their ages don't match the ages of the deceased.

Vice President Catcher, there won't be any mistakes in the age you gave to the corpse, right? Could it be that you didn't look closely? Is this possible? The age of the deceased was not around thirty, but in his fifties? ”

"There will definitely be no mistakes in my identification, the age of the deceased is definitely around 30 years old." After answering this sentence firmly, seeing that Tong Zhen's face was still a little confused, Liu Hua had to add:

"Think about it, what does the skin of a fifty-year-old look like? What does a thirty-year-old's skin look like? Do you think the body we found was in your fifties? ”

"Not really." After answering this, Tong Zhen showed a relieved expression on his face, but then he frowned again: "Then this is strange, if the deceased is really a nun, why is there no file here?" Don't? The deceased had just come to the county before his death? Killed before you could register? ”
