Chapter 19 is another cloud of doubt

Li You stood in place, lost in thought.

Although I can't figure out the cause of Zhao Wu's death, judging from the situation at the scene, Zhao Wu definitely did not commit suicide, so this is a case, not an accident. Since it is a case, the murderer must have a motive to kill, and determining the motive for killing is equivalent to finding a way to solve the case.

Thinking of this, Li You looked at the few people standing next to the water tank. "A few of them should be the relatives of the king's shopkeeper, right?"

Hearing this, a young man in his twenties immediately stood up. "Grass people Wang Baoren, I've seen adults."

Li You looked Wang Baoren up and down, and saw that although this person was young, he was not only neither humble nor arrogant, but also showed a calm posture, Li You couldn't help but be a little surprised. "You are the son of the king's treasurer?"

"Yes." Wang Baoren raised his head slightly and looked at Li You. Li You looked surprised again. It is rumored that the son of the king's shopkeeper is a spoiled loser, but now his behavior and conversation are completely inconsistent with the rumors. The three of them become tigers, and people's words are terrifying. "Wang Baoren, when did you find out that Zhao Wu was dead?"

"That's the way it is, my lord." Wang Baoren paused slightly, and then began to tell Li You about the whole process. After my father's death, the grass people and their family were at a loss for a while. At this moment, Zhao Ye arrived in time with Feng Guang and Feng Liang, and when the grass people saw Zhao Ye as if they had seen a savior, they entrusted Zhao Ye with full authority to deal with his father's white affairs. ”

"Feng Guang, Feng Liang?" Li You suddenly remembered the situation when Zhao Wu was captured in the illusion. It was indeed three people at the time, could it be that the other two were these two people? Because all his energy was on Zhao Wu at that time, Li You didn't bother to ask the names of the two, but he still remembered their general appearance.

"These two are Zhao Wu's brothers-in-law, and they usually help people do white things, and Zhao Wu will take the two of them." Liu Zhong hurriedly helped explain. Li You became more and more sure of his judgment after hearing this, but seeing Liu Zhong's eagerness, he immediately stared at him coldly, and Liu Zhong hurriedly lowered his head. Shopkeeper Wang is also a native of Shengtang County, and he has been doing business for many years, and he has a close personal relationship with Liu Zhongding.

"Well, Wang Shouren, go on." Li You turned to Wang Shouren again.

"Yes, sir. After Zhao Ye came, he assigned tasks to everyone, and everyone had the backbone, so they all stabilized their minds and began to get busy. "Wang Shouren has always been calm and measured, not flustered." Busy in the evening, the villain and his relatives were grateful for Zhao Ye's hard work, so they kept Zhao Ye to stay for dinner, Zhao Ye was bold by nature, and naturally did not refuse. During the banquet, everyone drank some wine, and before they knew it, they all drank too much. ”

"Drinking too much?" Li You looked suspicious. The shopkeeper Wang has just passed away, and Wang Baoren, who is his son, can't drink, and besides, he will be busy with the funeral and other matters tomorrow morning, and he has to prepare for the funeral. Wrong! This Wang Baoren must have something to hide.

"My lord, the grass people didn't want to drink, but Zhao Ye was quite interested, not only took the initiative to ask, but also toasted frequently, the grass people really couldn't help it." Wang Shouren should have seen Li You's suspicions, and hurriedly explained to Li You. "If you don't believe me, you can ask these relatives of mine."

"Yes, my lord." "It's true!" When several relatives heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

At this time, Zhao Wu was dead, and there was no way to confront him, so Li You had to give up for the time being, but he was a little suspicious of Wang Baoren. "And then?"

"We were all drunk in the guest room, and when we woke up the next day to find that Zhao Ye was missing, I thought that Zhao Ye went back by himself, so I didn't take it seriously. Who knows, hey! Wang Baoren said this, his face was painful. Zhao Ye actually suffered such a misfortune! Auntie, Wang Baoren is sorry for you! When Wang Baoren said this, he knelt down to Zhao Fengshi, and Zhao Fengshi was once again aroused by sadness, and cried again.

"Auntie, Zhao Ye died in the little nephew's house, although the murderer has not yet been caught, the little nephew still feels guilty, the little nephew has discussed it with his family, and he will definitely compensate for it, and ask his aunt for forgiveness." When Wang Baoren said this, he buckled his head to Zhao Fengshi again, and Zhao Fengshi hurriedly stepped forward to help. When the people around saw this, they all gave Wang Baoren a thumbs up and praised Wang Baoren's benevolence and righteousness.

Li You took in Wang Baoren's performance, and his suspicions about him were even better. Today's performance is far from the rumors. If the rumors are true, is it because Wang Baoren suddenly changed his temperament after his father's death, or did he deliberately pretend to be a loser? "Wang Baoren, who was the first to discover Zhao Wu's dead body?"

"It's the grass people." After Wang Baoren bowed to Zhao Fengshi again, he turned to Li You. When the grass people woke up, they hurried out of the guest room and into the courtyard, where they found the note on the water tank. So, the grass people hurriedly came to check and found that Zhao Ye was lying in this water tank, although he looked peaceful, but he had no breath. ”

After Li You heard this, he showed a sneer at Wang Baoren, which made Wang Bao's eyes flash a few times, although he immediately lowered his head, he still couldn't escape Li You's eyes. At this time, Li You was already sure that this Wang Baoren must have something to hide. As for what was hidden, Li You was still unsure. But since you confess to drinking at your father's vigil, I have a way of holding you in my hands.

Thinking of this, Li You was about to have a seizure, but Liu Zhong suddenly took over the conversation. After that, Wang Baoren reported the case to his subordinates. When his subordinates arrived at the scene at about eight o'clock, they checked the corpse and found that although the corpse mortis appeared, it had not yet spread to the whole body, so they deduced that they had just died for four or five hours..."When Liu Zhong said this, he saw Li You frowning tightly and staring at himself with an annoyed face, so he said that his heart became more and more empty, and finally stopped.

This Liu Zhong! Because of Liu Zhong's agitation, half of the prestige created by Li You suddenly disappeared, and Li You had no choice but to give up. However, since he has held Wang Shouren's handle, he is not afraid that he will not confess truthfully.

Thinking of this, Li You raised his eyes and looked at Wang Baoren. "Go down, if there is still a need, the official will summon again, you must be with the summons!" "The grass people obey!" Wang Baoren bowed his head and retreated.

"Zhao Feng's." "The women are here." Li You turned to Zhao Fengshi, and Zhao Fengshi hurriedly answered. "This official still has a lot of things that need to be confirmed with you, but this is not the place to speak, so you can go back to the county government with this official." "The women obey!"

"Liu Zhong!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Inform the autopsy that the official will know the cause of Zhao Wu's death within today!"

"Subordinates obey."

………

Li You sat in front of the bookcase and looked at Zhao Fengshi who was standing above the lobby.

Zhao Wu's death is too strange. Digging the door panel with his fingernails should have been extremely painful, but it seemed like a relief to Zhao Wu, otherwise he would not have been so peaceful when he died. From this point of view, during this time, Zhao Wu must have had something unusual to encounter.

"Zhao Feng, Zhao Wu has had any abnormal behavior during this time?"

"Hey, Master Mingjian, Zhao Wu may have been ghosted." Zhao Fengshi looked at Li You with a look of remorse, which made Li You feel shocked. Since the Gaotao tomb came out, Li You has a new understanding of the world and is more sensitive to evil things.

"What do you mean by that?" Li You hurriedly asked. Zhao Feng gave a detailed explanation to Li You about Zhao Wu's performance during this period of time, as well as the scratches on the door panel a few days ago. When Li You heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious. Could it be that this Zhao Wu really died at the hands of demons?

"It's not!" At this moment, Wang Miao, who was standing next to the bookcase, suddenly spoke. Li You immediately looked at Wang Miao in surprise, but saw Wang Miao looking up at the front, his eyes were as clear as water, and he seemed to be able to perceive everything in this world. "It wasn't killed by demons!" Wang Miao's tone was resolute, not at all like the tone of an ordinary child.

"Really?" Li You immediately became interested and focused all his attention on Wang Miao. "It wasn't killed by demons!" Wang Miao still looked ahead and repeated what he had just said again.

"Who killed that?" Li You hurriedly asked, but Wang Miao didn't answer anymore. "Who was killed?" Li You raised his voice. Wang Miao turned his head to look at Li You, his eyes returned to normal, and his face was ignorant. "Childe, you ask me? I don't know. Wang Miao regained her childlike tone again.

I see! Li You immediately understood the truth. According to the situation just now, the beast can judge whether a human being has been killed by demons, but it can't tell whether it is caused by man, let alone help it find the murderer. Ay! Li You sighed secretly. I don't know if the ability of the divine beast was originally like this, or if something happened after staying in Wang Miao's body. However, it is better than nothing, and it is still very helpful for the completion of the mission in the future.

Thinking of this, Li You turned to Zhao Feng again. "Zhao Fengshi, where is the edamame you said now?" "I guess I'm at home." Zhao Fengshi frowned, trying to remember. "For the past two days, the women don't seem to have seen him..."

Not good!

Li You suddenly chuckled in his heart, could it be that the murderer had already killed people?

………

Lately, Edamame has always felt someone whispering in his ear.

"What are you doing?" Edamame asked, but the other party didn't answer. Edamame didn't bother to pay any more attention.

Edamame is seven or eight years old, about one meter two, thin and small, but he seems to have endless energy, and he either goes to the house to uncover the tiles all day long, or goes down to the river to catch fish, or climbs trees and digs birds, in short, he is a troublemaker who does not care for his uncle and aunt.

On this day, Edamame was playing at the door, and suddenly saw a snow-white rabbit hiding in the grass on the side of the road to graze.

Slippery! The rabbit was frightened and fled far away. However, perhaps too hungry, the rabbit squatted on the ground and continued to graze. Edamame got excited again and tiptoed to follow. When he got closer, Edamame pounced. Slippery! The rabbit scurried out again, but stopped not far away.

"Hmph, you dare to fool me! When I catch you, I'll have to eat you. Annoyed, Edamame spread his legs and chased after him. The rabbit spread its legs and fled north. This person was a rabbit, chasing and chasing, and unconsciously, he ran to the edge of the county.

Edamame ran out of breath, and every time he tried to catch the rabbit, for some reason, the rabbit swooped out again, and stood arrogantly in front of him, straightening up and teasing himself.

"Ahh I'm! Edamame got really angry, grabbed a stick from the side of the road, spread his legs again, and chased after him. The rabbit seems to be frightened and begins to flee as if it is dead, which makes Edamame more and more aggressive.

"I'm scared, it's too late!" Edamame shouted loudly as he waved the stick in his hand. "When I catch up with you, see if I don't kill you."

Edamame spread his legs, getting closer and closer to the rabbit, getting closer and closer, and finally came to the rabbit, waved the stick, and smashed it down with all his might.

Boom!

A puff of white smoke rose, and Edamame only felt his breath suffocated, and then fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark. Edamame sat up from the ground and looked around in horror, only to realize that he was already in the middle of nowhere.

"Woo woo woo woo " Edamame was scared and cried loudly.

"Edamame doesn't cry, don't cry...", a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Edamame raised his head and looked around. Mom? "Well, come with Mommy, come with Mom..." The voice was long, soft, like a pair of hands, attracting Edamame to stand up and walk forward.

"Mom!" Edamame shouted as he walked. "Good boy, come with Mom..." Edamame walked forward step by step in the direction from which the voice came, and the whole person seemed to be sleepwalking, his eyes were dull, and he lost his due look.

Edamame didn't know how long he walked, and suddenly, the sound in his ears disappeared, and Edamame came to his senses again and looked around in panic. Not far ahead, dots of fluorescent fluorescent light floated in the air, like a swarm of fireflies. Edamame's child's heart actually forgot about the danger and stared at these fluorescents curiously.

"Fireflies? Hehe. Edamame muttered to himself.

Oh! Oh!

A howl sounded, and the fluorescent light on the opposite side quickly approached the edamame.

"Ahh Wolf! ”

Edamame panicked and turned his head and ran, but how could a seven or eight-year-old kid outrun the wolves!

Moments later, a wolf the size of a calf chased after Edamame, opened its bloody mouth, and bit down on Edamame's neck.

"Ahh

A scream resounded throughout the wilderness!
