Because he sensed that someone was coming, Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo turned their heads together, and saw that it was Wang Yu and two Yazhong officers who had arrived, and there was also a person dressed as a civilian who he didn't know.

At this time, Wang Yu also saw the two of them, so he quickened his pace, and came to Zong Jiyuan in a blink of an eye, and said with some disgust,

"Why didn't you call me when you came out to handle the case, Master, are you still thinking of me as your special subordinate?"

"Where do you get all this fuss?"

Seeing that he didn't look at the occasion so much, Zong Jiyuan was really angry and funny and stunned him and said,

"Seriously, how did you get here? Is there something in the yazhong that your lord asked you to come to us to deal with? ”

"That's a good guess,"

Wang Yu showed a "you are so interested" expression, and pointed to the person who came with him,

"It was the adults who asked me to come. Ji Yuan, Diao Zhutou, do you see the person standing behind and waiting? ”

"As soon as you came along, we saw it,"

Zong Jiyuan said a little impatiently,

"What's wrong? Who is that person and what are you here for? Can't you just answer my question properly? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll answer it well,"

Seeing that she was really a little anxious, Wang Yu said with a smile,

"That person is Zhang Sheng, the head of the patrol camp in the county seat, who went to the county government to report the case just now, saying that Feng Jiu, the husband who was in charge of the first half of the night watch last night, was missing, and there was no trace of him in the shed or at home. Lord He wondered if it would have something to do with the corpse found here, so he asked me and my two brothers to bring him over to identify it. ”

"I see......"

Zong Jiyuan listened, nodded and said,

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and let that Zhang Sheng go over there to identify it."

"Okay!"

With a promise, Wang Yu turned back to the two messengers who came with him and said,

"Trouble the two brothers, go with him to have a look."

The two servants agreed and led Zhang Sheng in the direction of the victim who was still in place.

Wang Yu was still struggling with the question just now,

"Hey, Ji Yuan, why didn't you call me when you came out to handle the case today?"

"I didn't ask you, but you asked me instead,"

Seeing that he was still endless, Zong Jiyuan glanced at him and said,

"On weekdays, you always go around and around in front of me, but today I have a case, why can't I see your shadow again?"

"Didn't I sleep too well last night, and I woke up a little late today,"

Wang Yu was a little embarrassed to be asked, scratched his head and said,

"Who would have thought that there would be a case so early in the morning? I was going to have breakfast, but I heard that none of you came out to handle the case. ”

"Okay, it's obvious that you're lazy, but you still have to make excuses, go over and see how that Zhang Sheng recognizes people."

Zong Jiyuan interrupted his chatter.

Wang Yu was no longer entangled in this matter, and agreed to ask, but before he could take a step, that Zhang Sheng had already walked back with a grim face accompanied by two errand officers.

"Master Huiguan, it is indeed Feng Jiu who died, but he ......"

While speaking, Zhang Sheng didn't know whether he was sad or scared, and he couldn't talk anymore.

When Diao Saburo heard this, the first thing he thought of was that he was really told by Zong Jiyuan, and immediately turned to her and said,

"Ji Yuan, you are so interested, you guessed again, the deceased is really a husband."

"yes, but how could he die here,"

Zong Jiyuan didn't show any complacency because of this, because she was more concerned about another very important issue, so she glanced at Zhang Sheng and said,

"Zhang Sheng, you mean, Feng Jiu should have been in the middle of the night last night, is that so?"

"That's right,"

Zhang Sheng's voice trembled a little,

"Last night, after he followed another husband to the third watch, he handed over the shift with the person in charge of the midnight watch, and then he left without much delay. We all thought that he must have gone home, but it wasn't until dawn this morning that people from his family came to inquire that they knew that Feng Jiu had not returned overnight, and the little one went to the county yamen to report the case, who knew that he would ......"

"Oh? So, until the third watch last night, he was still on the watch in the county? ”

Zong Jiyuan's eyebrows raised and asked.

Zhang Sheng nodded hurriedly and replied with absolute certainty,

"That's right, that's right, the brothers we stayed in the shed together, and the other one who was on duty with him, can testify."

"Let me ask you, then, if you patrol the camp any convenient way to go out of the city at night?"

Zong Jiyuan asked again.

Zhang Sheng immediately shook his head again,

"How can it be, to put it bluntly, we are just ordinary people, how can we have that kind of privilege."

"Oh......, okay, thank you for your hard work, let's go and rest for a while."

Nodding slightly, Zong Jiyuan's lips had already collapsed.

Of course, Diao Saburo also understood what was not quite right, and when he saw Zhang Sheng retreating, he said in a low voice,

"Ji Yuan, this is wrong, how did Feng Jiu get out of the city?"

"I'm thinking about that too,"

Zong Jiyuan is secluded and authentic,

"How did Feng Jiu come out of the county town in the middle of the night, and then he was killed in this place again......

"Could it be that he was killed in the city, and when the city gates were opened at dawn, his body was moved here again, is it possible?"

Wang Yu, who was standing on the side, was also thinking and speculating with the two of them at this time.

Zong Jiyuan glanced at him, shook his head, and said,

"Probably not, although I can't be sure, but judging from the shape of Feng Jiu's body when it was stiff, as well as the bloodstains around the scene, this is where he was killed, not to mention, inferring from the time, if the body is moved here after the opening of the city, then the murderer can only leave the city when the city gate is just opened. You know, there were a lot of people going out of the city and entering the city at that time, how could he hide people's eyes and ears and transport such a large corpse out without attracting the attention of others? ”

"This ......"

Wang Yu thought about it after hearing it, and immediately said,

"Could it be that Feng Jiu and the murderer went out of the city at dawn and then were killed?"

"That's even more impossible,"

Zong Jiyuan interrupted his assumptions and said,

"The time of the murder was obviously last night, at least more than two hours ago."

After speaking, Zong Jiyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, walked to Feng Jiu's corpse in a few steps, and carefully observed the surroundings for a while, his brows furrowed again while his eyes flickered, and he stood for a moment before nodding to Diao Sanlang and said,

"Let's go back."

The officers placed the victim's body on the flatbed cart that came with them, and Diao Saburo told Zhang Sheng to go back first to listen to the news and see that everything was almost handled, and then everyone went back to the county government together.
