Li Mo looked at the people around him who were shocked by his words, but he didn't intend to stop there, he then shouted to everyone.

"The man kept saying that he heard the person who fell into the water calling for help, but I want to tell everyone that it is impossible for a drowning person to shout, and even wave for help......"

"For the drowning man can only stand in the water, he will not lie flat on the surface of the water, nor can he lean his body, but his head will float on the water, and his mouth will sometimes be outside the water, and sometimes in the water, and he will not be able to roar at all......"

"The reason why they can't yell is because they have to be able to breathe before they can speak, and as soon as they speak, the water will rush into their mouths, and there is no time to breathe in between, so how can they talk about calling for help!"

Li Moyi's words came from his childhood experience of choking on water in the fish pond, people who have not personally experienced drowning can't understand it at all, many people think that the drowning person will definitely shout for help, and even wave his hands, but unfortunately, these drowning people can't do it at all.

Li Moyi's words really made the silent crowd hotly discuss again, everyone in the audience was chattering, and many people were shouting, impossible, how could this be......

The master of the priest has been pressed by Li Mo since he began to speak, especially Li Moyi's rebellious words, which angered him even more, and at this time, he pointed at Li Moyi angrily with one hand and reprimanded loudly.

"These are just your words and nonsense, who knows if it's true or not!"

The words of the unexpectedly senior official immediately attracted a lot of echoes, and everyone doubted Li Moyi's theory just now.

Li Moyi never expected them to accept it, but Li Moyi had a way for them to accept it, because he decided to do something more daring......

"Lord Priest, dare to ask if you know water?"

Not knowing Li Mo's intentions, the priest subconsciously replied honestly: "I won't ......"

Li Mo smiled and said: "Since it won't, it's easy to do, what is the situation of the drowning person, everyone will know it at a glance......"

As soon as Li Mo's words fell, the person had already flashed behind him, he was extremely fast, and there was a faint afterimage behind him.

The master of the priest was just an ordinary man, and when Li Mo grabbed his belt with one hand and threw him into the water......

"Poof!!"

The water exploded, rippling in circles, and everyone present was stunned!!

This shabby man, a madman who came out of nowhere, actually threw the priest of the governor's mansion into the ditch where the murder had just occurred, and the priest could not swim......

"Save ...... Save ......"

The priest came out of the water, and as soon as he opened his mouth to cry for help, the river poured into his mouth, and he could only cough for a while, and then tread the water desperately, and his hands fluttered under the water.

It was really like Li Moyi's words, looking up at the sky like a stunned duck, with tears in his eyes and a panicked face, but he couldn't open his mouth to call for help......

Everyone was so stunned by this verification process that it took a while for the guards to react, and they hurriedly jumped down and scooped up the priest......

……

……

At this moment, everyone was staring at Li Moyi like a monster, and even those guards who were rampant on weekdays did not dare to approach Li Moyi.

The secretary gasped for breath, and it took a long time to recover, and he pointed at Li Mo and scolded: "Okay, you bold thief, you dare to attack Lord Ben, and you won't escort me back to the county!" ”

At this time, those guards mustered up their courage, picked up the water and fire sticks in their hands, and surrounded Li Mo.

Although Lu Buwei was a tribute student, he was also shocked by Li Moyi's rebellious words, and he also stayed away from Li Moyi.

But Li Moyi did all this, his purpose was to avenge his wife, how could he stand idly by......

Lu Buwei is a tribute student, he intervened at this time, and he was a victim again, and now after Li Moyi's explanation, everyone already knows that this is definitely not an accident, but a murder case!

However, Li Moyi was as indifferent as Mount Tai, and just smiled at the priest and said: "The priest, I don't know much about the law, but as the secretary, I dealt with it perfunctorily, and almost misjudged the unjust case, so that the beloved died in vain, and the real murderer escaped. ”

Hearing this, the priest was completely depressed.

Although Li Moyi is very good at analyzing clues, he really doesn't know much about the law, so that he himself is a little unsure why the priest is completely cowardly.

It's just that I vaguely remember that the law is very strict these years, and in addition, it really hurts to hit the board, Li Mo has personally experienced that ordinary people eat more than half of the twenty boards, and it is difficult to walk.

For an example like Lord Priest, if you seriously investigate it, the matter will get bigger, and I am afraid that the Governor will not hesitate to be ruthless to him, and he will naturally be afraid!

As soon as Li Mo saw that the official was stunned, he was secretly happy in his heart, but on the other hand, this grudge was settled, and this grudge was not ordinary......

The official could only swallow his anger at this time, and said to Li Mo: "Fortunately, this friend kindly reminded me that the company almost misjudged this case, and dared to ask my friend for his name, and he will repay him a lot in the future." ”

The words of the master of the priest were yin and yang, and Li Moyi could clearly feel the coldness in his words, but since Li Moyi dared to offend him, he had already been mentally prepared, so he was naturally not afraid.

The so-called line does not change the name and sits without changing the surname, and Li Mo does not shy away from reporting his name.

"My name is ...... Yi Xian, a person from Anqiu Town......"

The priest nodded in thanks, and secretly wrote down the name, and then the tribute student Lu Buwei said: "Since the murder case is still suspicious, then we can only ask Mrs. Zun's body back to the mortuary to be parked, so that the governor's mansion will allocate personnel to strictly investigate and visit, and I will definitely return you a fair one." ”

Lu Buwei was already sad and indignant at the death of his wife, and he didn't have a good impression of the perfunctory minister, so he just arched his hand at this time, and didn't say anything more.

The priest didn't want to be bored, so he instructed a few guards to carry the corpse back.

Only then did the crowd disperse.

Lu Buwei immediately came over to thank Li Moyi.

Li Mo took the opportunity to say to Lu Buwei: "Mr. Lu can remember today's events, if he can go to high school one day, don't forget his heart, let these ignorant servants harm the township......"

Lu Buwei is in his thirties, he is an old gongsheng, his family background is gradually declining, and others don't look up to him, but now Li Moyi not only helped him a lot, but also said these words of encouragement, he is also humbly taught.

"Xiaosheng must be remembered in his heart, but I don't know where Brother Yi's family lives? I can't trust these guards anymore, and when I investigate the case in the future, I want to ask Brother Yi to refer to it in detail, and ask Brother Yi to help me again! ”

Before telling his name, Li Mo said that his name was Yi Xian, but he didn't want Lu Gongsheng to secretly write it down.

As for what Lu Gongsheng just said, Li Moyi also expected it, because these guards just wanted to settle the case hastily and mix up merits, Lu Buwei naturally couldn't believe them, and Li Moyi's performance just now was so eye-catching, he completely became a trustworthy person, Lu Buwei was worried that this case would become an unsolved case, and if the murderer couldn't catch him, his deceased wife would not be at peace for a day, so he asked Li Moyi to come.

Li Moyi is naturally willing to help.

But that's not how things are done, if Li Mo agrees to come down one by one and helps for free, this is really a loss-making deal, and it is difficult for anyone else to accept, Li Mo immediately replied.

"Although I am also a case changer in Anqiu Town, I am busy with official business, so I really can't get out of the way, and this case has been asked by another county magistrate, so there should be no problem, Brother Lu should wait for the result with peace of mind......

When the little fat man next to him heard this, he realized that he had mistaken Li Moyi, and he always thought that this was a big wrongdoer, but he knew that he was more shrewd and calculating than A Tie'er!

"Who are you fooling about! What a busy official business!! I can't pull away, open your one-ball ball, isn't it just a little guard in Anqiu Town, the guards have been on vacation these days, what kind of nonsense to others! The little fat man muttered in his heart, and secretly rolled his eyes at Li Mo.

However, Lu Buwei believed Li Moyi's words.

Because although Li Moyi is dressed simply, he can't look like a real person, and Li Moyi's bearing is really extraordinary, far from being very accessible, and he is a capable person!

Thinking of the style of the minister, Lu Buwei was really anxious, he was a county school tribute student, it can be said that half a foot has stepped into the officialdom, and he is also very clear about the cats and cats in the officialdom.

Although this case has been confirmed as a murder, it is not a matter of three days or two days to find the murderer.

If the people in the governor's mansion use the excuse to delay, the wife's body will be parked in the mortuary, how can they be buried in the ground, and how can they find the real murderer for their wife as soon as possible......

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei hurriedly handed over a look to his family, and the servant next to him immediately took out a silver bag from his arms and reached out to grope in it.

Lu Buwei directly snatched the silver bag with one hand and stuffed it into Li Moyi's hand.

"Since Mr. is an errand guard in Anqiu Town next door, I also know that Mr. is busy with official business, but his deceased wife is not blind, and there is no way for his husband to ask for help, and I ask Mr. to make decisions for me, these Xu Yinzi are a little careful, and I have the right to compensate Mr., and I ask Mr. to help my Lu family seek justice!"

Lu Buwei has already said this, if Li Mo repeatedly handles it, this play will not be able to be performed again, and the money has already arrived.

Li Mo immediately sighed and said to Lu Buwei.

"Brother Lu is deeply affectionate, and Yi is also admired, okay, Yi will also sacrifice his life to accompany a gentleman today!"

Lu Buwei naturally knew that the case would be investigated by the local governor's mansion, and Li Moyi was a guard in Anqiu Town next door, so he could only investigate secretly with him, and he would be somewhat suppressed, especially Li Moyi, who had just offended the official, and the pressure and even danger he faced would not be less.

"Mr. rest assured, he is also a tribute student in the next size, he has studied for many years, although he has not reached high school, he has also made a lot of contacts, although Mr. is assured to investigate the case, he will not let Mr. suffer the slightest grievance!"

With Lu Buwei's guarantee, Li Moyi was also a lot more relieved.

After agreeing to it, Lu Buwei will ask Li Mo to go home with him and live in Lu's house, which is also convenient for investigating the case in the future.

The house left by Xu Wuzhi was too small, only enough to accommodate two people, and now that he had a new place to live, Li Moyi was naturally happy, but he still walked over to the little fat man, touched a few small ingots of silver from the silver bag, and stuffed them into the little fat man's hands.

"Little fat man, you go back and ask my sister to help watch Mother Xu, when I'm not there, you have to take good care of it, you know! Come, I'll tell you how my house goes......"

Soon, after a few words, the little fat man nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei hurriedly asked his family to clean up briefly, and was about to go home.

Li Moyi took the opportunity to tell the little fat man: "Go back and tell Ah Tie'er, let him help me find out that person, only when I find that person, this case can be regarded as a bit eyebrow-raising, remember!" ”

As soon as Li Mo remembered the expulsion order that Ah Tie'er had given him earlier, he took out a larger silver ingot from the silver bag and secretly stuffed it into the little fat man's hand.

The little fat man is not a stupid person, he has just witnessed the whole process, and naturally knows that the "person" Li Moyi said is the person who misled Liu Zhuang for help, even if that person is not a murderer, he is also an eyewitness, and his importance is undoubted.

The little fat man glanced Li Mo up and down, this man was only in his twenties, he looked good, and he only had a coarse cloth robe on his body, but for some reason, the little fat man always felt that this person was unusual!

However, the little fat man was full of disdain on the surface, dug his nostrils and said: "Just you, the wronged man, and a begging guard, go to the Lu family to eat and drink with confidence, look at the entire territory around here, there is no one we can't find, within two days, we will definitely find that person out for you!" ”

The little fat man said so, and while grabbing his back, he walked away.

However, Li Mo looked at this back, and for no reason felt that this little fat man might also be a character.

……

……

Lu Buwei saw that Li Mo had explained clearly, so he invited Li Moyi back to Lu's house.

took Li Mo to meet the old lady in the family again, and told everything again, and the old lady also respected Li Moyi as a distinguished guest.

The Lu family has a manor in the southwest of the county, although it is a little dilapidated, but it can still be seen how majestic and noble it was at its peak, which shows that the Lu family still has a family background.

The reason why Li Moyi agreed to come to the Lu family was naturally not to come here to eat and drink like the little fat man said, but to investigate this case, he had to do a background check, whether it was impulsive murder or love and vendetta.

The first thing to understand is naturally the situation in the deceased's family, and there must be no one who knows his wife better than Lu Buwei.

After Lu Buwei's hospitality, Li Moyi finally began to get into the main topic of the investigation......

……

……

Previously, Lu Buwei said that his wife grew up near the water and played a little water, Li Mo felt very surprised, because there were many rules in these years, and women had female commandments, unless poor families or grass people, women would not go into the water.

Moreover, the Lu family seems to be a scholarly family, and they are very good at paying attention to each other these days, and Lu Gongsheng's wife should not be an ordinary family.

Thinking about it like this, Lu Gongsheng's wife is a beautiful girl, and she actually knows water, and Li Mo can't be interested if he thinks about it.

……

……

Lu Buwei is still immersed in the pain of losing his wife, and when he talks about his wife, he will inevitably choke up, Li Moyi also understands and has always maintained enough patience.

"My wife is the daughter of the Zhang clan in Tanghe County, this Zhang family has been assisting the upper to resist the Japanese bandits, and it is also a well-known big family in Tanghe Fangyuan, but it is subject to the impurity of the family in previous years, and has not been able to be recognized and accepted by the superiors.......

As soon as Lu Buwei said this, Li Moyi was stunned.

Peasant uprisings seemed to be a common occurrence in these years, so the superiors were always vigilant against the civil forces, and it was not difficult to understand that the Zhang family could not get further recognition from the superiors, so they wanted to achieve this goal by marrying the Lu family.

But Li Mo couldn't help but hear some doubts in his words, and immediately asked Lu Gongsheng: "It turns out that Mrs. Zun was born in the Zhang family who fought against bandits, so it's no wonder that she has a little meeting with water, so let me ask more, has Mrs. Zun ever practiced martial arts?" ”

Lu Buwei heard Li Mo's question, and couldn't help but have some changes on his face, but he quickly nodded and said: "Mr. guess is not bad, my lady does understand martial arts, and she is also a trick of fate, I am not afraid of Mr. jokes, I move with her quietly, but it is also in tune, this kind of thing is also incomprehensible to others......"

When Lu Buwei said this, he was a little emotional, and seeing that he was about to shed a few tears, Li Mo saw that he was emotional, so he hurriedly asked him.

"I asked directly, what kind of enemy does Mrs. Zun have? Although your Lu Mansion is also in the southwest of Anqiu Town, it is not close to Jiuweigou, and that place is a secluded place, how could Mrs. Zun go there? ”

Lu Buwei wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Let Mr. see ...... smile"

"Although my lady knows martial arts, but this matter is actually only known to me, she is a person who loves to laugh, whether it is at home or in the neighborhood, there is no one who does not praise her kindness, and she has no grudges with others, and rarely goes out on weekdays......"

After a pause, Lu Buwei seemed to think of something, and continued: "Last night I was in the study to warm the book, and I slept in the study, and the lady slept in the inner house, I really don't know why she ran to Jiuweigou......

"So...... Did someone lure Madame Zun out? Did anyone in the Lu Mansion notice anything last night? ”

If Zhang was still in the Lu Mansion last night, but died in Jiuweigou this morning, and she was hiding martial arts, both the motive for harming people and the nature of the case became more complicated......

Li Moyi asked this, it also has a purpose and pertinence, the Zhang family was born in a famous anti-bandit family, and his skills should be good, if he is forcibly knocked unconscious and tied up, he will definitely make a disturbance, and besides, even if Lu Gongsheng did not have the same room with her, but as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, it stands to reason that there should be a girl waiting for her outside the bedroom of the Zhang family......

"After the incident in the morning, the old man in the family questioned the family and his subordinates, and there was nothing unusual last night...... I just don't know why my lady sneaked out......"

Li Moyi couldn't help frowning and pondering, if Lu Gongsheng's words were true, then ...... Zhang should have sneaked out by himself, and only in this way could he be silent and not cause any movement.

The case has become a bit tricky......

Why did Zhang, who usually stays at home, sneak out alone last night?

Li Moyi also had no clue, so he had to say to Lu Buwei, "I want to go to Mrs. Zun's room to check, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Lu Buwei should also be afraid of seeing things and remembering people, so he didn't dare to enter that room again, so he said to Li Moyi: "I'll let the girl in the room take her husband in to have a look." ”

Lu Buwei went out and shouted, and a little girl walked in, but she was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, her face was not bad, and her figure was long, but she was too thin and thin, with a washboard body, with a big head, and a bean sprout.

The girl in the room may have a good relationship with the Zhang family, her eyes are red, and she should have cried because of the death of her master.

Li Moyi asked about Zhang's daily habits along the way, and the girl in the room also answered all questions.

After listening to a few questions, Li Moyi couldn't help but feel that this Zhang family's life was really simple and ordinary, except for occasionally going to the street to buy and following the grandmother to the temple to burn incense, he almost didn't leave home.

Li Moyi couldn't ask for any valuable information, so he had to give up.

……

……

After entering Zhang's room, Li Mo began to search for all kinds of traces, but unfortunately he found nothing abnormal.

The room furnishings of Lu Buwei and his wife are extremely simple, but some ingenious arrangements can still be seen, and I think that Lu Buwei and this wife should get along very well.

Li Mo searched the windowsill and other places again, but still couldn't find anything suspicious, so he asked the girl in the room, "When did you sleep last night?" Do you know when your master went out? ”

The girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and she replied to Li Moyi: "Slave maid these days...... My body was a little uncomfortable, I drank the medicinal soup after dinner last night, and I slept in a daze, I really don't know when Master Zhang disappeared......"

As soon as Li Mo saw that her body was weak and her face was pale, she thought that this girl should be telling the truth, so she didn't ask any more.

……

……

Zhang is a woman who knows martial arts, and her skills are more agile and agile than ordinary people, and it should not be difficult to get out of the Lu Mansion silently, and it is normal for the girl in the room not to notice it.

And there was no trace left in the room, so how should the investigation proceed?

Li Mo couldn't help but sit down, his fingers tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, and he fell into deep thought, the girl in the room just hung her head and waited aside, and the room suddenly fell silent.

There is still a faint fragrance in the air, but it is gone, which makes people feel sorry.

As soon as Li Mo calmed down, he began to analyze.

Zhang's outing obviously had some purpose, she took the initiative to avoid the people at home, and she must have made sufficient preparations.

And it was raining lightly last night, so she would definitely prepare rain gear such as a hat, but these ordinary things did not provide much useful information.

What else is needed?

Li Moyi couldn't help but turn his gaze to his shoes......

Not bad.

Although Zhang knows martial arts, but after all, she is a woman, whether it is pretending to be or for other reasons, she maintains a dignified demeanor, and must wear embroidered shoes, and when she goes out on a rainy day, it is very inconvenient to wear embroidered shoes, and she can't go far, she must know this truth if she knows martial arts......

In other words, Zhang must have changed his shoes before going out.

When it rains at night, the soles of shoes are usually attached to the soil, and through the characteristics of the soil, it should be possible to guess where Zhang has been......

Li Mo couldn't help jumping up from his seat, and after walking to the bedside, he found a pair of embroidered shoes, which were placed under the couch.

Li Mo took out the embroidered shoes as if he had obtained a treasure, but the girl in the room next to him looked at him with a strange expression.

Women's shoes and feet are very secret things in these years, and the girl who has a room doesn't know any clues to investigate the case, she only sees Li Moyi so happy, and she already regards Li Moyi as a pervert in her heart.

Li Mo carefully looked through the soles of his shoes, and sure enough, he found that there was some soil sticking to them, and he rubbed them lightly with his fingers, and the black soil actually emitted a foul smell, as well as a faint urea gas......

"It's cow dung!"

Li Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Earlier, Li Moyi had confirmed Zhang's itinerary with the girl in the room yesterday, due to the rain yesterday, Zhang's embroidered in the room first, and said that he was tired in the afternoon, so he went back to the room to take a nap, just in time to let the girl go to boil the medicinal soup.

In this way, Zhang created an illusion of taking a nap in the room, and even opened the room girl, and secretly went out alone, and the soles of his shoes would be stuck with cow dung!

Zhang's outing this time, will it be related to going out at night?

Li Mo couldn't help but secretly wonder if there was such a possibility, what happened to Zhang's going out in the afternoon, causing her to sneak out at night?

Li Mo felt that he was one step closer to the truth, and excitedly said to the girl in the room: "Is there a cow in the Lu Mansion?" ”

This question was a little too sudden, and the girl in the room stood still stupidly, and it took a while for her to make two oh oh oh sounds, and lead the way ahead.

……

……

Lu Buwei should be a little relieved, he was pacing back and forth outside the room, wanting to enter the room but not daring, seeing that Li Mo came out, he heard that he was going to the bullpen, so he followed.

Listening to Li Moyi's analysis that his wife had been to the cattle pen, Lu Buwei couldn't help but wonder: "My lady doesn't like this smelly place, it's enough to wronged her if she embroiders and makes a female celebrity all day long, I have never seen her feed those cows, how could she go to the cattle pen?" ”

Before the conjecture was verified, Li Moyi was not easy to draw conclusions, and was silent and did not answer.

……

After arriving at the cattle pen, Li Moyi began to search for traces.

The Lu family's Niu family is not too small, and there are six old cows locked up in it.

It's a pity that it has just rained, and the footprints on the ground have been washed away, and Li Mo can only carpet everywhere.

……

……
