Chapter 588: The Daoist disappeared and the county was embarrassed

After reading this file, Yang Jing was also a little puzzled, this file only said that Ma Yingwu was missing, but did not mention his death, how could it be regarded as a murder?

Generally speaking, the forensic police are either incidents or cases, caused by some accidents, or injuries caused by themselves, although there are also forensic identifications, but they will be characterized as incidents, and only when there are criminal circumstances can it be called a case.

And the case is naturally divided into ordinary brawls, injuries or homicides.

In this dossier, it is only mentioned that the Taoist priests clashed with Ma Yingwu's Han army, and then the Taoist priests fled, but Ma Yingwu was missing.

It is really inappropriate to classify Ma Yingwu as a murder without determining whether he died.

Faced with Yang Jing's question, Hu Weifeng, the county Cheng, also seemed to have expected it, and explained to Yang Jing unhurriedly.

"This Ma Yingwu is also a skillful, three or five people can't deal with him, but he drank too much in Suyuezhai, so he sent an order, and the leaders of the Han army saw that Ma Yingwu was beaten to a bad appearance, so they fought with those Taoist priests, this you come and go, when the Taoist priests fled, the commander of the battalion Ma Yingwu disappeared, only ... There is only one palm left..."

"There's only one palm left? This broken palm can still live, how can it be determined to be a murder? Besides, such a big living person, either hide it in Suyuezhai, or let the Taoist priests take it away, can't it be so plain?" Yang Jing couldn't help frowning.

"Who said it wasn't, the military masters chased those Taoists into the mountain, dozens of pairs of eyes saw it really clearly, those Taoist priests couldn't escape for their lives, where could they take Ma Yingwu..."

"In this way, it is time to stay in Suyuezhai, could it be that there is some dead corner cellar and dark well in it?"

Hu Weifeng stroked his sparse beard and said to Yang Jing: "This official has also taken a lot of cases, so he naturally knows the joints, and he has already let people dig Su Yuezhai three feet into the ground, and the military masters have also searched inside and out, and the girls and ladies inside are all interrogated one by one, and the people who talk about Ma Yingwu have not found half a drop of blood!"

Yang Jing was also silent when he heard this, and Hu Weifeng sighed: "This Ma Yingwu is the son of Lord Caizhou's Soldiers and Horses, if this case drags on any longer, this official will be bleak..."

When Yang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, and couldn't help but suggest to Hu Weifeng: "It's not that Yang is talkative, this case is very important, and the county lord is afraid that he can't bear it alone, so why didn't he report it to the Langshan County Ya?"

Hu Weifeng also smiled bitterly, and said frankly to Yang Jing: "It's not that the official doesn't report, but... It's that the county magistrate doesn't allow the official to go back..."

Yang Jing couldn't help but suddenly realize that it was not Hu Weifeng who loved face, but that Langshan Zhixian was also a master who was afraid of things, and refused to take over this mess, and Caizhou wanted to blame him, so Hu Weifeng carried it alone.

"This official is easy not to ask for people, I think Yang Xian's nephew is indeed a capable person, if he can really solve this case, talk about the business of the county, and the official also has some connections in Caizhou, so he will do a favor with his nephew, so that you can also gain a firm foothold in Caizhou, so good?"

As soon as Hu Weifeng said this, Yang Jing had no choice but to respond: "This case is simple to say, but it is really weird, and Yang is not easy to pack tickets, let's give it a try for the time being..."

As if he had found a place to rely on, Hu Weifeng immediately nodded yes, and then asked Yang Jing, "How is the virtuous nephew going to investigate the law?"

Yang Jing pondered for a moment, and then said to Hu Weifeng: "Let's interrogate the arrested Taoist first." ”

Hu Weifeng was not verbose, and personally took Yang Jing to the firewood room at the back, but he saw a middle-aged official guarding the door, with a sloppy beard, disheveled, holding a water and fire stick, and dozing off early in the morning.

"You lazy bastard! If you run away from this person, the official will pick your skin!" Hu Weifeng ran over from afar, and a big-eared scraper fanned the official to a bloody point, and the official's ears were buzzing, and his mouth was full of blood.

"It's... It's the villain's dereliction of duty... Yesterday, the little one was on duty, and I was really sleepy... My lord, please spare this time..."

"You blame the official for the lack of manpower, you hard work old man!" Hu Weifeng blew his beard, and he was about to fight again, but Yang Jing hurriedly stopped: "It's still important to investigate the case..."

Hu Weifeng said angrily: "Don't hurry up and open the door!"

The servant glanced at Yang Jing gratefully, and then he shuddered and took off the key on his waist, opened the door lock, and then pushed the door open, but saw that the firewood room was empty, only the rope on the beam of the house was left!

"It's... This..."

"What about people!" Hu Weifeng pushed away the servants and ran into the firewood room, where could you see half a human hair in the cramped firewood room!

"You're not enough to succeed and more than you can lose!" I'll kill you!" Hu Weifeng picked up his foot, slapped the official to the ground, and kicked it with his foot, the official screamed, but he didn't dare to resist.

Hu Weifeng was a weak body, kicked and beat for a while, and even fell to the ground, just muttering to himself: "It's over, I'm an official... It's done..."

Yang Jing walked into the firewood room and saw that the rope was about the thickness of a thumb, and there were some blood stains on it, but the ground was very clean, although it was a solid mud floor, but a lot of overlapping footprints could still be seen, which showed that the rope was only helping the man's hands, and did not really hang him.

"My lord, apart from this official brother, is there a military master guarding outside?" Yang Jing couldn't help asking, and Hu Weifeng was also angry, and said to Yang Jing.

"This official also felt that this person was the key to solving the case, and he told those military masters in the daytime, hoping that they could leave people under their hands and take good care of this people, but the military master said that he didn't bring many people to Daocheng this time, and now they are all going into the mountains to search for Taoists, and there are no idle manpower..."

"Although this official is a county official, there is only a patrol shop here in Daocheng, and there are few people, one of them went back to Langshan County to report the news, and he just came back last night, so he let him sleep, and one stayed in Suyuezhai..."

Yang Jing nodded and looked around, there was also a window in this firewood room, but the window was the size of a watermelon, and it was all dust, and there was no trace of opening.

The firewood room is a wooden door that is open, and the door hinge is also made of wood, squeaking, looking old, but there is no sign of strong breakage, and the door is locked from the outside, there is no doubt about this.

The firewood house has a tiled roof, and it is impossible to get out of the roof, and it seems that this person is somewhat similar to the way Ma Yingwu disappeared, as if they all disappeared out of thin air.

Yang Jing remembered that he had played the trick of the ram and Yale Tyren in Huai Shi Town, and immediately searched in the firewood room, and even opened the firewood to see it, but unfortunately there was no place to hide people in the firewood room.

It should be impossible for this firewood room to open the door from the inside, and the only explanation that makes sense can only be that the people outside opened the door lock and rescued the people.

"Did this poor brother leave last night?"

The official was beaten by Hu Weifeng, the corners of his eyes were cracked, and the blood flowed half of his face, and he didn't dare to wipe it.

"Back to this brother's words, this person has three urgency, my fifth child has a problem with getting up at night, but he didn't dare to run too far at night, all in... I relieved my hand on the spot... And the keys are all on me, and I really haven't opened the lock..."

Seeing that this official dared to say this, Hu Weifeng saved up enough strength again, kicked him over, and scolded him.

"Into your mother's rotten nonsense, is it difficult for that person to become an immortal!" This county is a civil official, but when he is angry, he is also scolded like a shrew on the street, and his words are unbearable, Yang Jing hurriedly persuaded.

"Master Hu, the matter has come to this point, even if you beat him to death, it will not help, it is better to figure out the reason first..."

Hu Weifeng saw that Yang Jing was not in a hurry and his aura was calm, so he spared the servant, and Yang Jing saw that Hu Weifeng stopped, so he continued to ask.

"Forgive me for offending, dare to ask the big brother who sent the man if he took a nap for a moment last night?"

When the official heard Yang Jing's question, his face suddenly turned pale, and the corners of his handkerchief continued to tremble.

Hu Weifeng also saw this, and his anger came up again, but this time he didn't bother to fight, he just sighed, and sighed a little angrily: "It's okay to sleep in Pingsuli, and now the official will sleep for you to death!"

The official came to his senses, crawled to Hu Weifeng's feet, and cried and begged him: "The county master save me!"

Hu Weifeng kicked the official away, and snorted coldly: "This official is difficult to protect himself, where can I save you, you give me a good life, you don't let me have a good life, you don't want to be better, get away with the Taoist, the case can't be solved, blame it from above, you need to be the first to suffer!"

The official immediately sat down on the ground, his eyes glazed, and his mouth was just muttering something about the old and the young.

Yang Jing didn't believe that the Taoist was really a flying immortal, and now it seems that someone must have taken advantage of the sleepiness of this servant to untie the key on his waist, open the door and rescue the Taoist, and then put the key back intact.

But the old wooden door hinge of the door of the firewood room, the door squeaks when the door is opened and closed, if this official just stands and dozes off, it is estimated that he will definitely wake up, so this official is afraid that he will slip back to the room to sleep.

As for the guards guarding themselves and letting the Taoist go, it should be unlikely.

These Taoists all fled from the north, and should not have much to do with this official, who is timid and afraid, according to him, he is old and young, and will definitely not deliberately let go of that Taoist for the sake of personal relations or money.

Moreover, although this Hu Weifeng punched and kicked, he never suspected that it was this official who let go of the Taoist, which shows that he also has enough understanding of this official, not that he feels that the official is loyal to his duties, but that this official does not have the courage.

Although Hu Weifeng is a county official, he can't be scolded and beaten for no reason, although this official is a lowly person, but in the end he is a gentleman, he can't have no resentment at all, he can only say that this official is too afraid of things.

is such a person, where would he have the courage to let that Taoist go without permission.

In this way, this Taoist person is just like Yang Jing thought, someone deliberately let him go, could it be that those Taoist people went and returned, and came back to save their companions? But now that the sergeants under Ma Yingwu are searching the mountain, how can they come back to save people?

Yang Jing pondered, but an extremely bold idea welled up in his heart!

If it is really as Yang Jing thinks, then all the problems will be solved, but new problems will follow, and Yang Jing has to make the next step.

"Lord Hu, where is the barracks of this horse commander?

Hu Weifeng was worried earlier that Yang Jing was a meticulous work from the south, but now that the case has been pushed into a dead end, Yang Jing is going to visit the barracks, and the county suddenly became alert.

"What are you going to do to see the barracks for no reason!"

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Lord Hu is not manpower here, the victim of this case is Commander Ma, those military masters are the bitter masters, if you want to continue the investigation, you naturally have to go to the barracks to move the rescuers, of course, if Lord Hu gives up this case, it will be as if Yang has not said this." ”

Hu Weifeng heard Yang Jing say this, and he was also a little embarrassed, and smiled at Yang Jing with an embarrassed smile: "It's the official who is abrupt, this case naturally needs to be investigated, and the official will take Yang Xian's nephew over to take a look!"
