Chapter 23: Absurd Closure

The news spread so fast.

Before the time came, in the cornfield of Zhou Dede's house, located in the northwest of Zhoujia Village, there were already many people smacking their lips and sticking out their tongues to watch the excitement.

Zhou Dede's wife led the children to cry to death.

From time to time, a few messengers came from the Dharma security office.

The leader looked like an old green horse with several hairs on his body, and three attendants ran behind the horse, all wearing uniforms and carrying large knives at their waists, powerful and aggressive.

"Get out of the way! Obstruction of official business will be punished according to law. ”

People hurriedly made a way.

It's a pity that the corn oranges, without the protection of the owner, were trampled unevenly and in a mess.

The head of the security guard, who was not tall but quick, turned over and dismounted, and always walked in the front, came to the tomb, first walked around it, and then stood on the edge of the pit and looked down.

The remaining three retinues, one leading the horses on the road, and the other two were responsible for maintaining order.

The head of security saw a man's feet and half of his legs exposed from the loess.

"Don't cry! a dead man can't cry. Which one is the one who is in charge? ”

"My lord, I'm in charge. Zhou Dede's wife Qijuan came over crying.

"Oh, why are you still crying if you don't let me cry? If I cry if I am infected, how can I ask questions? ”

The head of the security guard was a person with a very low tear point, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was first choked, and then he lowered his head to prevent others from seeing his teary eyes, but he was discovered by a little girl, "Dad, that person is scared and crying." How can a murderer have tears?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" said the father, "these people are from the government. It's good guys. ”

The head of the security guard felt that all the tears flowed back, and his vision was much clearer, so he raised his head and said, "Take the matter, reply to me, what is the relationship between this person and you?"

"My lord, he is my husband. ”

"If you only see your feet and half a leg, you can be so sure? If you recognize the wrong man, you will leave a laughing stock. ”

"No, it won't. for I saw his head. ”

The security chief thought that he had been negligent just now and did not see the deceased's head, so he looked carefully at the tomb again, and it was indeed the deceased's entire upper body buried in the soil, and the body was in a semi-upside-down shape underneath.

"How did you see that your head was buried in the ground?"

"My lord, my husband's head is over there. Qijuan said, raising her hand and pointing at the place where Zhou Dede's head landed.

"You woman, I don't want to make it clear, I was born here to delay the time of handling the case. ”

The head of the security guard said angrily, and went over to lift the pile of corn oranges that Qijuan was referring to.

Under the corn stalks, a man with wide-open eyes and bloody head turned up, discarded in a pool of blood, and a swarm of flies buzzed up.

"Damn! This is not an ordinary murder case, it is a major murder case. The leader covered his nose and got up and shouted to his subordinates, "Withdraw!" ”

Lingzhi came with his son.

Zhou Mengyuan and Qin'er also came, and the two of them walked very closely, almost shoulder to shoulder.

Zhou Mengyuan wore an old blackened wheat straw hat, calm and calm, and played with a few copper coins he took from the tomb last night with one hand.

Qin'er looked around as if nothing had happened, and saw Lingzhi, "Brother Mengyuan, Sister Lingzhi is also here, over there." ”

The two went over and exchanged a few pleasantries, and everyone stood together.

Zhou Mengyuan peeked at Ganoderma lucidum several times, and saw that there was almost no gray hair in his hair, and he felt that his bearing was outstanding and full of temptation.

Obviously, there have been contacts for many years, but at this time, in front of Qin'er, Zhou Mengyuan was so weak that he didn't dare to talk to Lingzhi. Glancing at the scene and watching the lively people, Zhou Mengyuan quietly asked Qin'er if she was afraid, and Qin'er shook her head and said she was not afraid.

"Since you're not afraid, let's stay a little longer. Zhou Mengyuan whispered, "Look at the results, it's good to have a countermeasure." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the familiar voice of the bird called in the bottom of my heart.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The patrol room is here. ”

Zhou Mengyuan motioned for Qin'er to step back.

Yes, the one who took the lead was the birdman who guarded the county order that he saw at the Famen Temple incense party.

Compared with the two cases, the aura is very different.

The soldiers in the patrol room shook the big knives in their hands and ordered people to stay away, and then stay away.

The birdman summoned Qijuan and carefully interrogated the cause of the incident and the time when Zhou Dede left home.

There was someone next to him who made a record, and the recorder also drew a few pictures of the crime scene.

seems to be a very professional and serious case, but in Zhou Mengyuan's mind, what they did was just to deal with the scene and coax the people, and they didn't have the slightest worry in their hearts.

After asking, the recorder also put away the four treasures of the study.

Zhou Mengyuan pulled down the brim of his straw hat and carefully looked at the pair of leopard eyes under the birdman's official hat, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he seemed to look very similar to another person.

Who is the other person?

For a short period of time, it is not possible to match the numbers.

The birdman walked to the most crowded place more than ten steps away from the tomb, and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, the death of the tomb robber Zhou Dede was killed by his accomplices. If the murderer is at the scene, hurry up and turn himself in, this head arrester can save you from death, if you are obsessed, you are caught by the official, the torture is exhausted, and then beheaded. I hope that everyone present will actively collect clues, provide accurately, and be rewarded with rewards. ”

With that, with a wave of his arm, he led his men out of the cornfield quickly, rode on a big horse, and returned to the county seat in a puff of smoke.

"Your nonsense! My husband was not a grave robber! he was killed while tending to corn. The case handler did a hasty matter, and took the court for nothing. Stop!"

Poor Qijuan cried and ran a few steps before falling.

Zhou Mengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin'er, "Let's go." This is the ability of the Tangtang County Ya Patrol and Arrest Office to handle cases. Suddenly remembering the heartache of being washed in blood at home, I didn't feel sorry at all for killing Zhou Dede.

Then I suddenly remembered that it was Dou Ya'er who said that she heard a bird's chirping sound on the roof, and her eyes lit up.

- The birdman actually has the same leopard eyes as Qi Hengxing!

In the study of Zhuge County Order.

Zhuge finished writing a picture, while self-absorbed, ready to stamp the seal.

The birdman came in, took a look, "Fortune from all directions, all the best", and clapped his hands again and again and praised: "Good and good! The artistic conception is good, and the words are better!"

This official has been busy with official business, and he has not smelled the scent of ink for many days. Why don't you get acquainted with the big spending?"

Zhuge carefully stamped the seal, although he spoke, his eyes kept staring at the words, and he had not yet come out of his self-absorption.

"How dare I show my two brushes in front of adults? Let me first report to you about the murder case in Zhoujia Village. ”

"Oh. Zhuge said, "If you don't say it, I'll forget it." Come on, come on, sit down and say, sit down and say. Hurry up, come and make tea. ”

The two of them sat down, and the birdman's beak was attached to Zhuge and whispered a few words.

Zhuge shook his head and said, "I can't go again in the future." That house, for the time being, let it be empty, and then live in it when I return to my hometown. By that time, things would be cold, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. ”

"Didn't that kid mistakenly think that someone from another country did it and won't pursue it anymore?"

"The devil knows what he thinks. For such a big thing, he can't give up, but maybe because he doesn't have all the strength. ”

"The little one understands. Be careful in the future. ”

The scholar quickly brought the teapot, poured the tea, and stood aside.

In a few simple words, Birdman finished reporting everything related to the case.

The county lord picked up the tea bowl and put it to his mouth, shook his head from side to side and blew lightly, didn't drink it, put it down gently, and said, "In your judgment, can this case be solved within 100 days?"

"It's hard to say. However, I have already given us a good round in advance. ”

"How's the circle?"

The birdman said with a sense of accomplishment: "I announced loudly in front of many people that the deceased Zhou Dede was a tomb robber and was killed by his accomplices. ”

Zhuge nodded knowingly, "It's handled very well! If the family of the deceased insists on urging the case, we will contact them and force them to give up automatically." ”

The two of them laughed, Zhuge Feiliang suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves and said: "Scholar, serve in front of the desk, my master wants to write a few improvised wild grass, and leave a name for a hundred generations!"
