Conviction and evidence are things to be considered later, and Zhao Shuang is most worried about Fu Ning's safety now.

"There are a lot of beggars in the River Temple, so many people want to go out of the city or hide in the county seat, it will not be a small target, Daddy Zhao sent people to inquire about the officers at the city gate, whether they have seen suspicious vehicles out of the city, and at the same time sent people to search the city."

The servants rushed to the county government one after another, and Lord Zhao dispatched troops and began to search the whole city.

Zhao Shuang took Yuan Xi to the porridge to see what was in the porridge.

Twice a day, after dozens of pots of porridge in the morning, Zhao Shuang did not find any traces of intoxicated grass and hooked vines, and dozens of pots in the afternoon were also not found.

Lord Zhao closed the city gates, and searched for a day, but did not find a single beggar or homeless person who had been taken captive.

In the Blue Maple Inn, Lin Chu's uncle and nephew stared wide-eyed.

In the past few days, Zhao Shuang sent Rou Niang to invite the two of them to tea every afternoon, and the two were forced to go due to Rou Niang's obscenity.

But Rou Niang didn't come to invite today, the two of them should be relieved, but they found that they were very disappointed, drinking the tea in the inn, and the bird faded out of their mouths, compared with the tea made by Yuan Xi, it was difficult to swallow.

Lin Chu suggested: "Why don't we have something good to eat tonight?" Lanfeng Restaurant's sweet and sour fish fillet, or Yuji restaurant's gnocchi soup, or Qianjia noodle restaurant? ”

"Fu Ning usually doesn't go to Lanfeng Restaurant to cook at night, let's go eat the ramen of the Qian family noodle restaurant." Lin Wenyi said, already remembering that the thin ramen noodles were poured with red braised pork and marinade, and his saliva was overflowing.

Lin Chu said: "Although the ramen is delicious, I think Fu Ning's afternoon tea dim sum is better. ”

Lin Wenyi nodded when he heard this, and the uncle and nephew glanced at each other, the matter of coming to Lanfeng County has not been completed, but the uncle and nephew were conquered by the food first.

After tossing for a day, nothing was found, and the next morning, the drum in front of the county yamen was pounding.

Zhao Moshen didn't eat breakfast, so he hurried to the county office.

Zhao Shuang thought about it and followed.

It was Mr. Shang's family who beat the drum, and the messenger brought the person to the hall, and after Lord Zhao asked, this person said amazingly: "My lord, please call the shots for the little one, the villain's cousin Shang Tangzi is going to be buried today, and I wait for a family member to open the cover this morning and find that my cousin is actually ...... There is no skin, only flesh and bones remain......"

Mr. Shang Shang Tangzi died in the Blue Maple Inn a few days ago, and he has not solved the case yet, and he has also joined the army of unsolved cases on Lord Zhao's table.

Because the autopsy has already been experienced, although the weather is cold now, the body will decompose if left for a long time, so the family has been asked to claim it back two days ago.

The body was left at home for two days, and now the merchant has come to report that Mr. Shang's skin is gone!

Zhao Mo hurriedly recruited the servant and took the messenger to Shangtangzi's house.

Zhao Shuang naturally followed.

At this time, the merchants were in a mess, in addition to the overwhelmed merchant family members, there were also neighbors who came to help or watch the excitement.

Zhao Moshen first asked the official to clear the scene, and then took the servant to go in for an autopsy.

Zhao Shuang followed Zhao Moshen and was about to enter the house.

"Frost, you don't want to go in such a scene." The girl's interests and hobbies are getting more and more special, the last time I went to Lu's house to see the corpse, now I even have to see the skinned corpse. Zhao Moshen is not worried that it is fake.

Zhao Shuang said disapprerovitously: "It's okay, I'm not afraid, let's see if I can help Daddy Zhao find out." ”

In this case, Zhao Moshen didn't have time to persuade his daughter, so he entered the house.

Zhao Shuang followed into the house.

When he untied the cover, it was a corpse with only flesh and bones.

Zhao Moshen, who saw such a scene for the first time, was so shocked that he hurriedly covered his daughter's eyes, but he found that her face did not change, and she stared directly at the corpse.

On the one hand, Zhao Moshen was ashamed, he was not as calm as his daughter, and on the other hand, he was a little anxious, his daughter was not afraid, and she was still staring, is it really good for her to become like this?

After some inspection, he said, "My lord, Shang Tangzi's skin has been completely peeled off, and it should be the one that was peeled last night." ”

Zhao Moshen nodded, and then began to pass on the merchants to come in one by one to ask.

The first to be passed in was Shang Tangzi's wife, a woman who was a little small.

"My lord," Shang's wife cried before she could say anything, looking like a pear blossom with rain, her waist twisted around, and she was indescribably incongruous, "My husband died so miserably, you want to find out the real murderer and avenge my husband!" ”

Zhao Mo said in a deep voice: "Did you keep a vigil in the mourning hall last night?" ”

Shang's wife was shy and timid, and said sadly: "The slave family naturally guards her husband's spirit in the mourning hall. ”

Lord Zhao: "Since you have been in the mourning hall, can you see who moved Shang Tangzi's body?" Who else is in the mourning hall? ”

Shang's wife said sadly: "My lord, although the slave family keeps vigil at night, but the slave family has cried and fainted twice because of excessive grief, when the slave family is sober, I have never seen anyone touch the body of my husband, if you see it, how can the slave family let him treat my husband's body like this, woo woo woo ......"

"Tell me, who else was keeping a vigil in the mourning hall last night?"

Shang's wife whimpered for a while, and after seeing that she couldn't get sympathy, she had no choice but to say: "Several nephews of the slave family are guarding the spirit in the mourning hall. ”

Zhao Moshen questioned the nephews who were guarding the spirits one by one and found that although these people were all in the mourning hall, because they were sleepy in the middle of the night, they all fell asleep, so no one had ever seen anyone touch the corpse.

There are few useful findings in the merchant survey.

Back at the county office, Zhao Moshen, who was at a loss, suddenly found that his daughter's face was extremely melancholy, so he asked, "What's wrong with Shuang'er?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Zhao Shuang blurted out: "I'm worried about Fu Ning, I don't know if he's still alive?" ”

Zhao Moshen: Did the "......" girl really fall in love with a beggar? How are you going to live this day? What's the point of being an official?

Seeing Zhao Moshen's expression like eating a fly, Zhao Shuang hurriedly said: "Daddy Zhao, I found that the person who peeled the skin for Mr. Shang was not ordinary, the technique was very skilled, and the skin and flesh were perfectly peeled. Therefore, I think there is such a gang in Lanfeng County that makes profits by skinning people, and those missing beggars are likely to be captured and skinned. ”

Zhao Mo Shen was terrified when he heard it: "Skinning gang? Could it be that Meng County ...... them?"

He couldn't go on, this speculation was too unbelievable, and when he thought about it, it was reasonable.

If human skins can make a profit and kill good people for no reason, it will inevitably attract the attention of the government, but beggars and homeless people are different, these people often do not have a household registration, and some are also in their place of origin, and these people suddenly disappear and are often not easy to find.
