Lu Fang was very worried now.

Yesterday, someone suddenly came to Suiyuan Wangfu, saying that Pei Xia was injured in Peiling County, and it happened that someone from the palace was visiting relatives there, so he took someone to the palace to recuperate from his injuries, and sent her back after a few days when the injury was healed.

The prison department looked confused, what is the situation? Didn't Pei Xia go to Laoshu Village to secretly investigate the case, how could he meet the people of Suiyuan Palace?

There's a big problem here!

King Suiyuan was enshrined and came to Qiuzhou, and his henchmen were all brought from the capital by himself, how many people can have relatives to visit in this place? is not a henchman of King Suiyuan, but a random subordinate of the palace. A random person who goes to visit relatives can recognize Pei Xia, doesn't that mean that everyone in the palace knows Pei Xia?!

Otherwise, someone from the palace lied, and the people from the palace didn't happen to meet Pei Xia in Peiling County, but they went with Pei Xia at all. This is even more problematic! A dignified prince would lend someone to a little governor of the Criminal Prison Division who didn't even have a grade!

I think of the rumors that there was a rumor in the government that Pei Xia was recommended by King Suiyuan......

Lu Fang wiped his sweat and carefully recalled whether he had offended this girl. At first, I thought that at most Pei Xia had solved the case, but King Suiyuan saw that she was good, and casually mentioned it to the prefect of Wang, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is not simple!

The people who sent away the Suiyuan Palace, and now the problem comes. Pei Xia was injured, and the cadres from the prison department were colleagues, how could they ignore it? Of course, it is not like everyone to rush to the palace together, and it is necessary to send someone to express their concern on behalf of everyone.

Master Cao pretended to cough a few times, saying that there were a few suspicious points in the case that was sorted out last time, and he decided to go to the county below in person, Kong Xian hurriedly said that he went to Liu Wu's uncle's house last time, and felt that someone in his family did not tell the truth, and he planned to go a few more times in the past two days, and he must find out the truth.

The two of them slipped away quickly, and when Lu Fang reacted, only him and the prison department were left staring wide-eyed.

You can't send an errand officer! Not to mention what Pei Xia would think, it would be troublesome for King Suiyuan to misunderstand that the Criminal Prison Division was despising him.

No way, Lu Fang had to prepare some light gifts to Suiyuan Wangfu, thinking that at most a housekeeper would receive him, but he didn't expect that Suiyuan King would personally meet him in the front hall, and asked them about the recent situation of the Criminal Prison Division.

Since Du Xiao was imprisoned, the remaining people in the Qiuzhou Criminal Prison Department have been working hard, and they have never been able to drill into the camp, so they do not have the twists and turns of other officials. In Lu Fang's eyes, the prince is the prince, who has ever thought about whether he is favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

At the moment, this prince wanted to pull himself to ask questions for some reason, Lu Fang dealt with it with one hundred and twenty points of caution, and he was extremely curious about what the relationship between Pei Xia and this prince was.

Fortunately, the prince seemed to be just asking, and did not embarrass him, and after sitting with him for a while, he asked the housekeeper to take him to see Pei Xia.

"So how did you meet the people of the palace?" Inside, Lu Fang asked. In fact, he wanted to ask Pei Xia about the relationship with King Suiyuan, but the housekeeper and the little girl in Pei Xia's house stood outside the door and watched them, which made Lu Fang feel like he was being watched all the time, so he didn't dare to ask directly.

"That's just the case." Pei Xia said vaguely, after all, Mu Changan's departure from the fiefdom was confidential, and she couldn't tell the truth.

Listening to Pei Xia say so vaguely, Lu Fang thought more and more that there was something greasy in it!

Lu Fang is not good to ask, Pei Xia knows that he has misunderstood, but this matter cannot be explained, it will only get darker and darker, the two of them are like this, you look at me and I look at you, trying to make eye contact, but Pei Xia and Lu Fang did not have a tacit understanding in this regard, and they looked at each other for a long time without coming up with a result.

Forget it, misunderstanding is misunderstanding. Pei Xia waved his hand tiredly: "Don't talk about this, I have a major discovery in Laoshu Village." ”

Speaking of the case, Lu Fang was much more comfortable, he listened carefully to Pei Xia's account of her investigation, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

"These people are too frustrated, and no one in the whole village has come forward to save the mother and son."

Pei Xia was also very indignant: "It's hateful that according to the law, these people will not all be punished, obviously they are also accomplices!" Yun Sheng's case has to be notified to Peiling County as soon as possible, I pretended to be a ghost to bluff the woman named Amei, I was worried that she would tell others about it, in case someone became suspicious and went to look at Yun Sheng's grave to see the clues. ”

"I know, I'll go find Master Cao when I go back."

"One more thing." Pei Xia frowned, "I found a total of seven corpses on the mountain, one in the wooden house was the fugitive Fan Xi, and there was a pit outside the house, and there were six corpses in the pit, all of which belonged to teenagers. "That pit should have been covered with a wooden plank, there was some mud camouflage on it, as the days went by, the soil became thicker and thicker, and weeds grew a lot, if Pei Xia hadn't gone out to chase people and stepped on it, it might not be so easy to find.

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard that the bones of the fugitive Fan Xi had been found. He is a local, and Fan Xi's escape from prison caused panic, and families with children warned their children not to run around, so as not to let Fan Xi catch and eat. He was only six or seven years old at the time, and he was talked about by his family several times, but there was no news of Fan Xi later, and he never heard of any child's accident again, and everyone gradually forgot about it. Now that he suddenly heard Pei Xia mention it, he didn't react for a while, and he searched in his mind for a while before he remembered such a person.

Because of his distraction, Lu Fang didn't notice the second half of Pei Xia's sentence for a while, and it took a while before he suddenly came back to his senses: "Why are there six bodies?" The case file of Peiling County records that the villagers have reported six disappearances, plus Yun Sheng's son, it should be seven! ”

"That's it, I suspect that Yunsheng's son is not dead at all."

If Yunsheng's son hadn't died, then everything would have made sense. It is very likely that he was abducted by Fan Xi back then, but for some reason Fan Xi did not kill him, but kept him by his side until Fan Xi died.

Because they had lived in that mountain forest for many years, the person Pei Xia and they met would be so familiar with the terrain there, and they could come and go freely even in the dense fog. And this can also explain why that person went to the grave of Yun Sheng, and even the motive for killing Liu Wu is also known.

"Do you see the man?" Lu Fang asked.

Pei Xia shook his head. The man covered his face with a cloth, and when he saw that he might not be able to beat her, he turned around and ran. Pei Xia didn't dare to chase deeply, this person was so familiar with this place, and Wei Jiu was poisoned and unconscious, if he chased it out and was thrown off by him through the fog and terrain, that person was likely to come back and kill Wei Jiu.

"I didn't see him, but I stabbed him in the arm...... And the man was running in a strange position, as if he had a disability in his right leg. Pei Xia recalled the footsteps they had heard when they followed the man before, and affirmed, "Yes, either he has been injured recently, or he has a disability. ”

"You know that at best this can only be used to find the suspect, not to use it as evidence against him." Lu Fang sighed, it was just a little bit, if he could catch someone on the spot, it would be much easier.

Pei Xia also knew this, it was indeed a pity in retrospect, but she still wouldn't chase too far if she did it again, she just had to look for it after someone ran away, she couldn't risk Wei Jiu's life.

"Since that person hasn't bothered with the people of Laoshu Village all these years, there is no reason to suddenly kill people again, not to mention Liu Wu, who has long been out of Laoshu Village. It is very likely that Liu Wu met him before he died, and you can follow this clue to check. ”

"Got it." Lu Fang got up, "I'll bring the bones back first, I'll go back and tell our brothers and the people on Zhao Zhutou's side to help keep an eye on the clues you said." ”

"I'll go with you!" Pei Xia was about to stand up as he spoke.

"Farewell ancestor!" Lu Fang hurriedly pressed the person down, "You take care of your injuries, and come back after you recover." ”

"I'm fine." Pei Xia's fever has subsided, but his sprained foot is still a little painful, as long as he doesn't keep walking, it's not too much of a hindrance.

"Spare me." Lu Fang wanted to say that King Suiyuan pulled him to ask him a lot just now, although he didn't say it explicitly, what he meant in that sentence was that he valued Pei Xia very much, and asked them not to tire people too hard, if he would pull Pei Xia back to work, then King Suiyuan would not be able to kill him. Considering the two big Buddhas at the door, Lu Fang's slanderous words were not spoken, but the bitter gourd face was enough for Pei Xia to guess what was going on.

It must be Mu Changan who said something! Pei Xia was annoyed in his heart, sat down indignantly, and suddenly reacted to what was wrong with him? Mu Chang is willing to speak for himself, doesn't this mean that he trusts himself more, which is a good thing......

Pei Xia deeply reflected on herself, feeling that she was like being evil today, what kind of comparison with Mu Chang'an, he Mu Chang'an was so naïve, should she follow the naivety? It's all to blame for Mu Chang'an! Phew, why is it him again, it must be because he has been with Yun'er for a long time and is infected by the little girl.

There was no need to embarrass Lu Fang, Pei Xia didn't mention to Lu Fang about going together, and only advised: "At that time, the time was urgent, I didn't have time to subdivide those bones, I only roughly wrapped them separately, and after you brought them back, you have to carefully sort and piece them together." ”

"Okay, I know." Lu Fang hesitated for a moment, and then thought about the seven corpses! There are seven of them! Just thinking about the trouble of the autopsy, tears were about to flow, and King Suiyuan or something had to lean back a little. He begged Pei Xia with a bitter face and whispered: "You have to come back early when you are sick, Kong Xian's unreliable one will squeeze me, and I will point to you to help me in the entire prison department......

"Y-I don't want to leave now?" Pei Xia was helpless.

"Not now." Lu Fang waved his hand and followed the housekeeper to retrieve the bones, leaving only a bleak back.
