Gao Can was sweating profusely and came over to report: "My lord, we have searched all over the place, but we still haven't found it." ”

The county magistrate who accompanied him said carefully: "My lord, since you can't find the burial place, is it possible that you are not dead?" ”

The previous case was decided by him, not only sent back, but also alarmed the criminal department, if it is confirmed that he broke the wrong case, next year's assessment will definitely be in vain. If you add this old case, if you get it, you won't be able to get through it this year, I'm afraid it will be sorted out directly.

Lou Yan was unmoved, and ordered: "Check again." ”

Seeing him like this, the county commander couldn't help muttering in his heart.

This Lou Langzhong, as rumored, went his own way, and with just a fan, he decided that the missing person in recent years had also been killed. There are so many people who come to play in Lingshan every year, who hasn't lost something? Maybe the fan, but the missing person accidentally lost it?

Lou Yan stood on the hillside, thinking silently.

Now is the season of play, there are a lot of tourists in Lingshan, and the murderer is dragging the corpse, and it is impossible to go far.

So, the burial site should be very close......

He raised his head and saw the peach trees all over the mountains, and his heart moved.

"Gao Can!"

"The subordinates are here."

"There are all peach farmers nearby?"

"Yes."

"Have any new peach trees been planted recently?"

"This ......," Gao Can understood, "my subordinates will look for it immediately!" ”

With a goal, Gao Can quickly came back and said: "The peach trees on the southern slope are newly planted. ”

"Let's go."

The peach trees on the southern slope are very well kept.

The peach blossoms are blooming brilliantly and blooming.

Just standing in the peach forest, I always feel that there is an indescribable smell at the end of my nose.

Lou Yan turned his head and asked, "When was this peach forest planted?" ”

The county commander hurriedly ordered people to find the lieutenant.

After a while, the lieutenant came over to report: "Lord Hui, this peach forest has been planted for several years, and the earliest is about seven or eight years ago, and these trees were only planted this year. ”

Lou Yan nodded and instructed Gao Can: "Dig!" These peach trees, dug to the location of the roots. ”

Gao Can said loudly.

The county magistrate laughed dryly: "Don't you think that the missing people in previous years were buried here, right?" How is this possible? ”

Lou Yan said: "There is a smell here. ”

The county commander was stunned: "What the adults said is ...... Flowers? ”

Lou Yan shook his head.

"It's a stench, and it's hidden in the scent of these flowers."

The prefectural order was not believed at all.

The flowers are blooming so luxuriantly, you can't smell anything else except the fragrance of flowers!

This Lord Lou is too stubborn, right? I couldn't find a place to bury the body, so I made up some stench. Where? How could he not smell it.

The first peach tree was dug up, and the bottom was empty.

Then the second, the third......

The expression on the prefectural commander's face gradually turned to disdain.

The hairy boy is unreliable. said that he had no evidence to arbitrarily decide the case, didn't he just rely on conjecture and mobilize the public?

This is a good peach forest, how difficult it is to take care of, and it will take a month to be dug up by him.

Okay, dig it! Think he's just a county magistrate, can he be bullied casually? Although his official position is not high, he also has a master of the same year, is it good?

There was no result, so I went to the capital to file a complaint......

After digging five or six trees in a row, nothing was found, Gao Can wiped his sweat and came over to ask for instructions: "My lord, do you want to dig it?" ”

This peach forest is too big, more than a dozen errands, three in a group, when do you have to dig it?

Lou Yan looked at the file, and then asked the chief: "Which trees were planted the year before last?" ”

The chief thought about it for a while, and then judged the size of the tree and delineated the approximate range.

Lou Yan ordered people to break a branch from each of these trees and smell them one by one.

The prefectural order wanted to laugh when he saw it.

What is he doing here? The fragrance of flowers is already so strong, can you still smell the smell of corpses?

It's inexplicable.

Over there, Lou Yan repeatedly confirmed and found three: "Dig these three trees." ”

"Yes!"

Gao Can firmly believed in it and took the servants to work.

The first one, still not.

Second ......

"There's something!" The officer went down with a shovel, hit a hard object, looked at it, and shouted, "It looks like a bone!" ”

The county commander's face froze.

No way? Is there really a corpse?

Everyone surrounded them, and Gao Can personally picked up the floating soil, and sure enough, it was a hand that had already exposed white bones!

The county order looked up, and the three peach trees were close to each other, and the one where the body was found was exactly in the middle.

So, did he really recognize the smell of corpses from the scent of flowers?

What a nose this!

However, finding the bones is just the beginning.

The officers dug up the first skeleton and found that there was still one underneath, so they had to dig out all three trees and dig them down little by little.

As the world under the peach tree gradually revealed its terrifying true face, everyone's faces became more and more blue.

Three corpses, with overlapping heads and feet, buried deep under a tree.

Gao Can squatted down and carefully examined the features: "The bones are thick and heavy, and it is preliminarily determined to be a man, and the age is not very large, it is very likely to be a young man." ”

Scholar, a young man, disappeared in Lingshan.

This shocking case really exists.

Lou Yan said in a deep voice: "Keep digging!" ”

……

At the beginning, Yu Shenzhi didn't think too seriously about things.

Eighteen-year-old boy, strong and healthy, even if he doesn't find it for a while, what can happen?

Maybe it was a moment of playfulness and was delayed in the valley.

When the servants of the Yu family went down to look for it, they didn't find any traces, and he finally got anxious.

"Will he go somewhere else?" Ji Yun asked.

Yu Shenzhi shook his head: "Although the second child is a little lacking in heart, he will not be so ignorant." We're all here, and he'll say a word when he walks away. ”

Chi Yun comforted: "Maybe it's just lost, after all, it's not familiar here." ”

Yu Shenzhi nodded and instructed the little servant: "Go and call people, call as many as possible, and find the second son." ”

"Yes."

Chi Yu was already panicked, and explained upside down: "I didn't expect this, I wanted to pick it up myself, but the second son ...... him"

"Alright." Chi Yun drank lightly, "It's useless to say this now, let's find someone first." ”

She took out her handkerchief, tightened her cuffs, and prepared to look for it together.

Chi Yu was afraid that the account would be settled on her head, so she hurriedly said: "I, I'll go too!" ”

Ji Yun looked at her twice and did not object.

The matter was provoked by Chi Yu, so it would be good for her to suffer a little.

Don't look at what Chi Yu said nicely, she hinted at this matter, and Yu Muzhi went down to pick it up.

Yu Min persuaded: "The two sisters are still waiting for news here, right?" It's all shrubs underneath, and it's hard to walk. ”

Chi Yun said: "More people, one more effort." This matter started because of the sister, and we should do our best. ”

"But ......"

Chi Yun cut off her words: "Miss Yu Si is waiting here, and the helper will arrive later, so I can show the way." ”

"Hey......"

Chi Yun turned his head and asked Yu Shenzhi, "Is it okay?" ”

Yu Shenzhi did not refuse: "You two follow me." ”

"Hmm."

Going down the path, Chi Yun remembered what Lou Yan said. Someone in Lingshan was killed recently, shouldn't Yu Muzhi be so unlucky?
