The village chief Dou Ming stepped forward and knocked on the door, a woman in her twenties opened the door, and suddenly saw that there were people standing in front of the door, she almost fell down in fright, but fortunately, the village chief was in front of her, she asked tremblingly: "Grandpa Ming, what's wrong?" Why are there so many officials coming to the door? ”

Village Chief Dou Ming comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, these officials said that they came to your house to have a look, and asked you to say a few words to your father, don't be afraid, there is Grandpa Ming, why don't you go in and prepare, and ask your father to come out to greet you." ”

Dou Ming turned back to Duan Fei and said, "My lord, the Dou family was originally quite wealthy, but they all ruined that beast, and there is nothing in his house to entertain your adults...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

"It's okay, we're here to work, not to eat and drink, can we go in?" Duan Fei asked.

There are few rules in the small mountain village, Dou called inside, and then he leaned out of the way, and invited Duan Fei and them into the house, the house is not big, there is not much but it is very tidy, Dou took two benches out, and invited the adults to sit at the dinner table, Duan Fei's eyes scanned the room, but the corner of his eyes did not leave Dou, only to see Dou's eyes red and swollen and haggard, although she was calm, but some inadvertent small movements of her hands, feet and eyes showed that she was very nervous.

The thatched house is divided into two entrances, there is a small door on the left and right of the living room, and there is a violent coughing sound behind the small door on the right, Dou explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, my father had a cold last night, and he is seriously ill in bed now, so he can't get up, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "This official is a little familiar with medical skills, just for the old man to see." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the back room, and Dou opened his mouth anxiously and shouted, "Your Excellency......"

Duan Fei didn't hear it, opened the curtain and walked in, Su Rong glanced at Dou Shi, shook her head and sighed secretly, and followed Duan Fei in, she really knew a little bit of medical skills, Duan Fei went in just to take the opportunity to investigate the case.

An old man is sick in bed, there are many mosquitoes in this solar term, so there is a cloth tent hanging in front of the bed, seeing someone come in, the tent moved, and heard some cloth rubbing sound in his ears, the old man in the tent said urgently: "The little puppet feels cold, and it is not in the way, so I dare not bother the adult." ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Although the wind cold is not a serious illness, if it is not treated in time, it will kill people, this official will show you, it will not be troublesome." ”

He lifted the curtain and looked inside, only to see a person covering his head and face with his clothes, lying sideways inward, Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said, "Isn't the old man's head and face injured, don't you dare to let the official see it?" ”

The person lying on his side trembled, and the Shangyuan County Order, who followed up with his nose covered, shouted when he saw this: "Bold Dou Yuan! Why don't you turn around soon? Do you really have scars on your face and dare not see people? ”

The village chief also persuaded: "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?" There's no wind in the house, so you might as well turn around and show the adults. ”

The person on the bed finally turned over slowly, he automatically lifted the cloth covering his face, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I fell last night, fainted in the house, and only suffered from the cold, and my face was also bruised, I didn't want to scare the adult......"

The left side of Dou Yuan's face was swollen like a swollen steamed bun, and there was a clear mark on it, like an enlarged fist......

"Nonsense, this is clearly a fist mark, it was Dou Fa who beat you, you strangled him to death in a fit of anger, and then threw his body into the cold when he was in the river!" Shangyuan County Commander shouted, and then looked at Duan Fei as if he was invited, clenched his fists and asked, "My lord, do you want the official to take him down immediately?" ”

The words of Shangyuan County Order made Dou Yuan tremble, two lines of muddy old tears rolled down from his wrinkled face, and Dou Shi also shook at the same time, if it wasn't for Su Rong reaching out to hold it in time, she would have fallen to the ground softly.

Dou Ming was taken aback and blurted out, "Dou Fa is dead? Do you suspect that Dou Yuan killed him? How is this possible? It must be a mistake, Dou Fa has been gone for almost half a year, and he hasn't come back! ”

Duan Fei glanced at Shangyuan County Ling with some dissatisfaction, and said indifferently: "Now that the case has not been clarified, let's talk about the arrest later." ”

The Shangyuan County Commander smiled a little puzzled, but Peng Xing asked suspiciously: "Lord Duan, isn't the case obvious now?" Why haven't the suspects been arrested? ”

Duan Fei looked around, it seemed that only Su Rong understood what he meant, he nodded at Shi Bin, Yang Sen and a few of them, and said, "There are still some doubts in this case, you guys talk about it, and you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”

Shi Bin, Guo Wei, Hong Bang, Jiang Jun and Yang Sen have all decided to be Duan Fei's long-term followers and follow him forever.

The first person who raised his hand with his eyes lit up was Jiang Jun, and he said excitedly: "I thought about it a little, the murder weapon, we haven't found the murder weapon yet!" ”

Hong Bang followed and said: "The deceased was strangled to death, Dou Laohan and Dou are old and frail, it seems impossible to do it, did they get Dou Fa drunk first or gave him sweat medicine?" Or is the murderer someone else? ”

Duan Fei nodded approvingly, Shi Bin and Guo Wei, who had been following Duan Fei, did not say anything, what should have been said was said by Hong Bang and Jiang Jun, and they also understood what Duan Fei meant, and intended to give the opportunity to this new kid.

I saw Yang Sen's eyes roll, turned his head and walked out of the room, Hong Bang and Guo Wei also walked around looking for clues, Duan Fei nodded approvingly, and then smiled and said to the others: "What they said is not wrong, although it can be confirmed that Dou Fa was strangled at home, but it is not clear how the murderer strangled Dou Fa, nor how many murderers there were, it is not clear how the body was transported to the river and thrown into the river, and it is not clear why Dou Fa returned home but no one knows...... These suspicions can indeed be obtained through interrogation or even execution, but the official likes to find out directly, and there is no need for the suspect to confess, let alone the execution, such a case is an irrefutable and irrefutable case! ”

Peng Xing exclaimed: "The adults are smart, no wonder they have to be reused at a young age, and the lower officials are so admired that they throw themselves to the ground, Su County Order, you are in charge of the governance of one party, and you have to learn more from Lord Duan." ”

Su Xian Ling said sweatingly: "Lord Duan is indeed clever, and the lower officials are dull, please give me advice!" ”

At this time, Dou Yuan turned over and fell to the ground, and shouted with his neck stalked: "I didn't kill anyone, my daughter-in-law didn't kill anyone, Dou Fa never went home at all, he himself was messing around outside, he was killed if he was killed, you officials don't have a good thing, you should not care, but you shouldn't run to the door and talk nonsense, you say that Dou Fa was killed at home, what evidence is there?" ”
