Chapter 328: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Day

More than half a month has passed since Wang Quan's case, but there is no clue.

Guo Min'an sent a lot of people to visit and inquire around, but Wang Quan did not have any enemies before his death, he has been serving in the Wei family as an errand boy, as early as the time when Wei Ye gained a firm foothold in the capital, he entered the Wei family as an errand, and later moved back to Qizhou City with the Wei family, and brought his family back to Qizhou together.

Over the years, the Wei family has never treated him harshly, and his family life is not bad, and later, he earned a lot of silver, but the Ning family is a cautious person, and Wang Quan's father and mother are all honest people, and the family's life is mediocre.

So the investigation of the matter to this day is actually equivalent to a stalemate.

Guo Minan has always locked Xia Guinian in the government prison, but more than half a month has passed, and he has no evidence to prove that Wang Quan's death was committed by Xia Guinian, or that it is inseparable from Wangxing Casino.

And the name he saw in the account book of the gambling house that day, more than half a month passed, and he did not put pressure on him, as if he didn't know about it at all.

But is it possible?

Guo Min couldn't be clearer in his heart.

Xu Jingshan let go of people like Xia Guinian, running such a gambling shop in Qizhou, how could he not let go of his eyes and stare at it, I am afraid that since the first day of the gambling shop, he has already obtained the letter, but for his identity, status and future, he has not shown up, and he will not show up.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing.

Bai An took someone to Wang's house that day, and he clearly remembered that when the official below replied, he said that the king was completely blind, disfigured, and his right arm was also cut off.

This shouldn't be - more than half a month has passed, Guo Minan still doesn't understand, why? The murderer punished the murderer, but after the killing, he ruined Wang Quan's face and cut off his arm.

In the past half of his life, he has experienced so many cases, and in the murder cases, there are those who intend to disfigure people's appearance, but they are unwilling to let people recognize who the deceased is.

But this case ......

There were beads of sweat on the tip of Guo Min'an's nose, a thin layer, and even the sideburns were stolen with cold sweat.

He was distracted for a long time, and the feeling he had before swept over again.

It was a dense net, densely packed, that surrounded him on all sides, bound him to death, bound in it, and no matter how hard he tried to break free, it was to no avail.

Later, in this huge net, more and more people came into the network......

As the prefect of one side, he tried his best to keep the peace of this side, but he couldn't.

There was a creak, and the carved door in the back hall was pushed open from the outside.

Now that the sky is gradually getting dark, Guo Min'an did not leave because he had been in a trance-like monk since the afternoon, and it was not until this time that someone pushed the door in, and he suddenly realized that it was so late.

The moment the door was pushed open, the moonlight outside the house leaked to the ground, taking advantage of the moonlight, he raised his eyes and saw that it was Bai An and Zheng Ze who were slowly coming with solemn faces, and when they saw him, they respectfully clasped their fists and saluted.

Guo Minan raised his hand and pressed it on his sideburns and temples, and with a slight rotation of his wrist, he rubbed two handfuls: "You haven't left yet?" ”

Zheng Ze and Bai An looked at each other once, both pursed their lips and said nothing, but Zheng Ze opened his mouth in a sullen voice: "The adults locked themselves in the back hall in the afternoon, and they refused to see anyone, and they didn't eat dinner at night...... Let's go back and rest first, shall we? ”

He spoke with a sense of temptation, but more of a concern.

In the end, it is a confidant who has followed him for many years, and it is different from others after all.

He didn't show up this afternoon, and no one in the government didn't know that he locked himself in the back hall and didn't come out all afternoon, but at this time, where did those villains who tended to be inflammatory, and Su Ri followed him to curry favor?

Even Cao Lu never appeared.

In the end, the people who are really worried about him are the people closest to him.

Guo Minan swallowed his saliva, squinted his eyes, and waved his hand to tell the two of them to sit down and talk.

Zheng Ze and Bai An's worries in their eyes were not fake, they looked at each other for a while, and then sat down on the official hat chair lined up on the right hand.

Guo Min'an saw the two of them sit down, so he sighed and said: "I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." Wang Quan's murder has been going on for more than half a month, and there are no clues at all, which is too strange. We've been following me for so many years, and this is the first time we've encountered such a tricky case, right? ”

Who's to say it wasn't, if it weren't for the tricky word, they wouldn't be so worried about adults.

Bai An cleared his throat: "But the more this is the case, the more it proves that behind Wang Quan's murder, there is a shocking conspiracy, otherwise how can there be no clues at all." ”

Zheng Zebai glanced at him, took his toes for him, and signaled him not to talk nonsense, before turning his head to look at Guo Min'an again: "My lord, in fact, the lower officials are thinking about one thing." ”

Guo Min'an just didn't see the small movements of the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked back: "What's the matter?" ”

"Wang Quan's disfigurement, and his right arm." Zheng Ze said in a deep voice, with a solemn expression, "Xia Guan has followed the adult for so many years, and there is nothing that the Xia Guan does not know about the cases that the adult has handled in the past." Do you remember? Thirteen years ago, the adult served as the commander of Xunyang County, and there were a series of murders in the county, and when the deceased was found, they were all disfigured, but later the matter was found out, and we know that it was to conceal the identity of the deceased, because the perpetrators were their own families. Ten years ago, it was still a homicide in Xunyang County......"

"Needless to say, I've thought about it all."

Guo Minan waved his hand and interrupted Zheng Ze's words.

When he was in Xunyang County, there were several major murder cases one after another, and the deceased was also disfigured, in the end, the truth was ascertained, in fact, it was all acquaintances who committed the crime, to put it bluntly, I was afraid that the identity of the deceased would be recognized, and those who knew each other around them, or often had dealings, would naturally be the first to be summoned to the government for questioning, and they would also be included in the list of suspicions by the government.

But this time, Wang Quan's case is different.

Obviously, Zheng Ze had already thought of this difference.

Guo Min'an interrupted him, he closed his voice, paused for a while, and then opened his mouth again: "But the strangest thing is not here, and what the lower official wants to say is not this." Xia Guan discussed with Bai An half a day later, this matter is strange, if the murderer didn't want people to know Wang Quan's true identity, then why did he bury Wang Quan in the corner of Wang's backyard after the killing? ”

He said as he looked at Bai An again.

That look, Bai An immediately understood, and hurriedly took his words: "Yes, my lord, the case of the Wei family before, when it was investigated, it was inevitable that Wang Quan's disappearance was involved, and the murderer killed someone, according to common sense, if Wang Quan's appearance was ruined and Wang Quan's right arm was cut off, then he should be extremely unwilling to let people find his body, let alone let people recognize his identity, then he should bury the body in a place that is inaccessible, why did he bury it in the corner of the backyard of his own house?" Once the body is found, the government will definitely let the Wang family identify it as soon as possible, plus Wang Quan has been missing for many days, thinking about it, the body should also be Wang Quan's. ”

This is what Guo Minan can't figure out the most!

What does the murderer want to do?

Bai An's voice fell, and seeing that Guo Min'an didn't squeak for a long time, he hesitated for a long time, and called out to his lord in a dull voice.

Guo Min'an's eyebrows were indifferent, and his eyes sank: "Just say, I'm listening." ”

"There is one more thing, Xia Guan has been thinking about it for several days, and in the second half of today, he also specially asked Ning's ......" He rolled twice in his throat, and when he saw Guo Min'an looking sideways, he continued to speak, "Let's not talk about burying the body in the backyard of the Wang family, just talk about the disfigurement, I probably don't want people to recognize that it is Wang Quan, but why did he cut off Wang Quan's right arm?" Xia Guan has been thinking that Wang Quan's body is not likely to have any birthmarks, which are different or can be recognized at a glance, so the murderer chose to cut off his right arm after killing him, and Xia Guan also got confirmation from Ning——"

He dragged out the last note, while speaking, he raised his right arm, pulled the cuffs up, revealing a small arm, and gestured on his own arm while talking, roughly comparing a position with Guo Min'an: "According to Ning's words, Wang Quan's right arm is a birthmark, and when you don't look closely, you don't feel it, and when you look closely, it looks like a petal, she married Wang Quan and found that birthmark, and she used to joke about this, saying that he was five big and three thick people, with such a delicate birthmark on his arm, It's funny. ”

Some thoughts flashed in Guo Min'an's mind, and he was stunned there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Disfigured, severed arms, and then killed only to bury the body in the deceased's own backyard......

Is it to be unrecognizable, or is it to be recognized?

It won't be the former—

"The murderer deliberately buried the body in the corner of the backyard of the Wang family!" Guo Minan opened his mouth categorically, "He did it on purpose, in order to let the Wang family be able to identify the body at the first time, and it belonged to Wang Quan." The person who was killed, the body shape, and the details of the body must be the same as Wang Quan, so similar that even Wang Quan's father and his daughter-in-law can't tell the difference, but only the face and the birthmark on the right arm - these two things can't be imitated, so they can only be destroyed! ”

Zheng Ze and Bai An glanced at each other, and both of them were shocked: "What do adults mean, that corpse is not Wang Quan at all?" ”

Guo Minan said: "Otherwise, how else can we explain all the weirdness that happened? ”

There is indeed no other better explanation, if the corpse is not Wang Quan's at all, but only used by the murderer to confuse all of them with falsehood, then all this can be explained.

Why did he bury the body in the Wang family, but he wanted to disfigure his face and cut off his right arm.

Because from the very beginning, the existence of that corpse was only to help Wang Quan escape, and since then it has disappeared from everyone's sight.

But who could this person be, and who was that corpse?

Guo Min'an was so excited for a while that he almost didn't fall up in one breath, choked himself, and coughed violently twice, causing Zheng Ze and Bai An to call the adults worriedly, he raised his hand and signaled that it was okay: "Bai An, early tomorrow morning, take someone to visit the city first, and after the autopsy, didn't you say that the corpse died no more than ten days?" To check, whether there is anyone missing in the city before and after the incident, those who have reported the case, and those who have not reported the case, must be investigated clearly, and if there is no report, they should be interrogated well, because what is not reported. If you can't find it out in the city, go outside the city to investigate, the suburbs of Qizhou are adjacent to three small counties, four big towns, all have to visit, all have to investigate, whether anyone can claim the body, we must find out! ”

Everything they are investigating now is still just speculation, only when the corpse appears as a second person to claim it, all these speculations can come true, otherwise everything is empty talk.

And only after confirming that the body is not Wang Quan's can we investigate the rest of the matter.

If the corpse is not Wang Quan, then everything is very likely to have nothing to do with Wangxing Gambling House, Xia Guinian is wronged, and most likely, he helped Wang Quan escape from everyone's sight, so that Yu Pei's clues to the case were interrupted...... No, it doesn't matter whether those clues are interrupted or not, the most important thing is that as soon as Wang Quan's murder came out, everyone's attention was diverted.

Originally, the adults had ordered to strictly investigate the people who entered and left the city these days to see if there were any suspicious deeds, and they all knew that this was to touch the details of the businessman from Waifu, but as soon as Wang Quan's murder case came out, this case was also put aside for the time being.

"My lord, could it have something to do with Liu Ziwang? Or is it his old patron? Bai An's eyes rolled twice, "The businessman from Waifu introduced by his old patron, that is, the person who discovered the secret of the county lord's mother Yupei, has not shown up until now, you asked Liu Ziwang, Liu Ziwang said that he had never seen that person's face, let alone who his surname was, as for the so-called old patron, he said his name and explained where he lived, but we also stared at it for a while, there was nothing unusual, where he lived, there were no strangers in and out, Later, Wang Quan's case became more and more clueless, so you called for all the people to be withdrawn, and followed Wang Quan's case......"

When he said this, he paused, Zheng Ze smacked his tongue, and quickly took the words: "Stealing the sky and changing the day? ”

But the monk can't run the temple, and the people haven't left Qizhou City until now, and they live in peace, and they are not afraid of the yamen coming to the door at all.

Guo Minan subconsciously shook his head: "In this way, tomorrow I will take someone to start the investigation, and then ask Wang Quan's father and mother and his daughter-in-law to go to the morgue to identify the body." Zheng Ze, early tomorrow morning, bring Liu Ziwang, the old customer, back to the mansion, I want to ask! ”
