Lin Tao saw that someone sent the missing Miss Liang to Dali Temple, and was secretly happy that this matter was so smooth, and before a stick of incense had been burned, someone reported to the official that the dried corpse was found.

Lin Tao hurriedly rushed to the scene of the crime with seven or eight arresters, and found that the dried corpse was stuck in a dog hole, if it weren't for the beggars looking for something to eat in the alley, I'm afraid no one would find this corpse.

"Lord Lin, this scene is a little weird!"

Fang Yuan squatted down and looked at the dried corpse in the dog cave, it was obvious that the corpse wanted to crawl out of it, if this was the case, it would have been discovered by the people in the house a long time ago, and it would not be lying here, turning into a dry corpse little by little.

Lin Tao naturally saw that this was not the first scene of the murder, as if someone was using the dried corpse to guide them to investigate the owner of this house, and his eyes fell on the wall.

"Where is this?"

"Liu Zhai." Fang Yuan stood up and replied, "The name of the head of the house is Liu Guang, he used to open a restaurant, and after his only daughter died of a serious illness more than ten years ago, he sold the restaurant to others. ”

"Let's see."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he took Fang Yuan to the gate of Liu's house, the red paint on the wooden door was already mottled, and it could be seen that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

Fang Yuan slapped on the wooden door, and it was a long time before a middle-aged woman came out to open the door, looking at the two catchers outside the door, she couldn't help but be stunned, and lowered her voice and said, "Two officials, is there something wrong?" ”

"You've found a dead body in the back of the alley, so let's find out." Lin Tao said, "Is it convenient for us to go in?" ”

Fang ...... Convenient, convenient! The woman hurriedly opened the door and let the two of them enter Liu's house, "I am the cook of this house, the old lady is old, it may be a little inconvenient, if you have anything to ask, just ask me." ”

"You're staying here at night?" Lin Tao looked around the yard and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner chopping wood, and asked.

"Yes." The cook nodded and said, "The old lady is old and has difficulty moving, so I live here with my family and Xiaocui, so that the old lady doesn't need to take care of anything at night, and that is my man." ”

When the man chopping wood heard the cook's words, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Tao and the others, and continued to chop the firewood in his hand without making a sound.

"Have you heard any strange noises these nights?" Fang Yuan asked.

"There are no weird sounds." The cook thought for a while and shook her head, "I will only rest after serving the old lady in the evening, and I didn't hear any strange sounds." ”

"Let's take a look at the approaching alley." Lin Tao couldn't ask anything, so he changed the topic.

The cook hurriedly led the two to the backyard, Liu's house is not big, just a three-in, three-out house, and soon arrived at the garden, the area is not very large, and it can be regarded as exquisite, but no one takes care of it, and many flowers have withered.

As soon as Lin Tao and Fang Yuan entered the courtyard, they saw the dog cave at a glance, and there was half a dried corpse, the two of them quickly stepped forward and found that there were no traces of scratching around, it was obvious that this was not the first scene of the murder, someone put the dried corpse here.

"This ...... What's going on? The cook lady was so frightened that she sat on the ground in fright, her face was pale and trembling, obviously the first time she saw a dry corpse, "How can there be such a corpse in the courtyard?!" It's impossible! ”
