Chapter 30: The Seventeenth Corpse

In the courtyard of the Yang family's house, Lin Ming was talking with the head catcher of the county government, and when he saw Pei Wuyi entering with a group of people, he stepped forward to greet him.

Pei Wuxian glanced around, "The officials have stopped searching, could it be that they have found it?" ”

Only then did Yu Qingfeng notice that there were only four or five officials in the front yard, all of them standing honestly, and there was no search action, and these people all had solemn faces.

Sure enough, it was too late.

Lin Ming's eyebrows were tightly locked, his face was bitter, and a sigh was an affirmative answer.

"It turns out that Miss Yu asked me to find the seventeenth corpse. Alas, in the backyard. ”

Pei Wuyi didn't dare to look back at the Fang couple, and said in a dumb voice, "Lead the way." ”

A few people had just raised their feet when they heard an angry roar outside the gate.

"Let me in! I am responsible for this case, and I personally led people to search for the Yang family, and you came to search for it with great fanfare, which is not to give me face. If you don't give me face, you don't give face to Master Fang! Get out of the way, let me in! ”

Listen to the voice and momentum, old acquaintance.

A few people were looking for prestige, it was Shen Yuxia, and he even brought Shen Moli with him.

"Let them in." Pei Wuyi ordered the guards to let him go.

Shen Yuxia violently pushed away the guards who were blocking him, and walked in with his arms dangling.

"Shen Zhutou hasn't gone back to recover yet? That's right, it must be Lord Fang's intention, let you stay and report the news in time, and he will deal with it in time. Presumably, the prefect does not have much confidence that the original verdict can be upheld in this case. ”

When Yu Qingfeng saw Shen Yuxia, her wrist hurt, and her teeth itched with hatred.

Now that he is here, since he has come to this moment, since his master is unable to protect himself, then a dog leg who is about to become a lost dog does not need to be used to beating him!

Yu Qingfeng pretended to be suddenly enlightened again, with an exaggerated expression, but he was also polite and smiling.

"Oh, I understand, the prefect has no confidence, he is worried that the case has really been overturned, he has beheaded the wrong person, and Dali Temple is accountable, so he definitely needs a dog who bears most of the blame for him, and it is better to have a mad dog that ran over and barked and bitten indiscriminately, offending Dali Temple. No, I sent you. ”

"Dead girl, you dare to speak disrespectfully and offend the prefect?"

Shen Yuxia's eyes shot a hungry wolf-like gaze in the night, and he was about to pounce again.

"Shen Zhutou misunderstood, the world can be learned, I didn't offend the prefect."

Yu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, doesn't this Shen Yuxia understand the words? She offended him.

Shen Yuxia's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he wanted to tear Yu Qingfeng's hand to pieces immediately.

Pei Wuxian coughed lightly, blocking between Shen Yuxia and Yu Qingfeng.

"You have a mouth." Pei Wuxian whispered blame Yu Qingfeng.

Yu Qingfeng shrugged her shoulders and responded in a low voice: "No way, it's an old problem, if you don't vomit or be unhappy, you will suffocate to death." ”

Pei Wuyi smiled helplessly, but still whispered in a low voice, "Sooner or later, I will be killed by your unpleasant mouth." ”

Yu Qingfeng's heart suddenly warmed. That's right, that's the taste, Pei Wuyi, the male protagonist, has been pinched by himself.

Pei Wuxian faced Shen Yuxia politely.

"Shen Zhutou, this official said before that when the case is concluded, he will definitely deal with the rude offender. The case will be closed tonight, and the official will do what he says, and he has already prepared the instruments of punishment. So, you've come just in time. ”

The corners of Shen Yuxia's mouth twitched, swallowed his saliva, looked left and right, and changed the topic.

"Master Pei, this Yang family is up and down, the county government searched it as soon as the case happened, and I also took someone to search it, so as to ensure that nothing is missed. After half a month, Master Pei took a lot of trouble to bring people here, could it be that he just wanted to go through the motions? ”

Pei Wuxian was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Yuxia again, and instead said to Lin Ming: "Go to the backyard and take Shen Zhutou to see what he missed." ”

Lin Ming glared at Shen Yuxia fiercely, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Yu Qingfeng deliberately lagged a few steps behind, parallel to the Fang couple.

The couple is still full of doubts, and they still can't figure out why they are in the Yang family, and how the murder case is related to Fang Yingqiu's disappearance.

They hadn't thought about the worst yet, and they didn't know what kind of terrible scene they were about to face.

"Mrs. Fang......" Yu Qingfeng opened her mouth with difficulty, wanting to say something, but she choked up, not knowing what to say.

The wife raised her confused eyes and looked at Yu Qingfeng, and she was a little afraid of Yu Qingfeng, a sharp-toothed girl, waiting for her next step tremblingly.

Yu Qingfeng's lips twitched, and her nose was sour. In the end, he ran away, trotted a few steps, and caught up with Pei Wuyi.

The backyard of the Yang family is quite large, and it is the workshop where the winemaking workshop still maintains the tragic situation when the murder case occurred, and it is a mess.

"Shen Zhutou, you see, this backyard is different from when you came to search?" Lin Ming asked coldly.

Shen Yuxia quickly glanced around and replied impatiently, "It's no different." ”

Lin Ming walked to the stone well in the corner, pointed to the well and the black stone slab next to it and asked, "What about here?" ”

Ishii!

Yu Qingfeng's heart seemed to be clenched with her fists, and it hurt.

Shouldn't it be a secret room? She asked Lin Ming to search before, to find hidden in the house, or in the underground secret room, wine cellar and the like.

How can it be a well? Could it be that the entrance to the secret room is a stone well?

Shen Yuxia tilted his head and thought about it, and said vaguely: "Maybe, maybe it's a little different." But so what? Could it be that Lord Lin found the physical evidence left by the criminal Liang Lei in the well? ”

"Physical evidence? Hum. ”

Lin Ming glared at Shen Yuxia angrily, gritted his back molars, and pointed to the stone slab next to the stone well and the sundries piled up in front of the door of the house not far away.

"The slate was originally covered on the stone well and weighed dozens of catties, but there were many abrasion marks on the top and bottom of the black slate, indicating that someone often moved."

"So what?" Shen Yuxia habitually retorted.

"If it's a well, why cover the wellhead with slates? If the well is dry and you are worried that children will fall, why do you often move it so that the stone slab rubs against the stone well and leaves marks? ”

Shen Yuxia disagreed, and waved his hand impatiently, "What does this have to do with the case?" ”

"There are also these sundries next to the stone well, there are also friction hemp ropes, wooden barrels, and contact slates, what can Shen Zhutou think of?"

Lin Ming grabbed the hemp rope on the side and threw it in front of Shen Yuxia.

Shen Yuxia kicked away the rope that fell under his feet, extremely disdainful.

"Why does Lord Lin always care about these details that have nothing to do with the facts of the case? Dali Temple's style of handling cases is like this? Or are you adults unwilling to return in vain, and you have to find out a little bit of detail to make a big fuss? ”

"The minutiae? Okay, then I'll ask Shen Zhutou to enter this house and see what we found in the stone wellβ€”the details. ”

Lin Ming pushed open the wooden door of the house next to the stone well, and the candlelight inside instantly projected out. Light and shadow swaying on the ground, indicating that someone was moving in the room.

Shen Yuxia subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, Shen Zhutou is not an unjust ghost, but a county official's work to conduct an autopsy." Lin Ming motioned for Shen Yuxia to go in with his eyes.

"What are you kidding? What ghosts will I fear? I have a clear conscience, what am I afraid of? ”

Shen Yuxia took two steps towards the open wooden door, and suddenly stopped again, "What did you say?" Autopsy? What kind of autopsy? ”

"The seventeenth corpse."

Lin Ming made a gesture of "please" and motioned for Shen Yuxia to face the corpse and face the evidence of his rash mistake.

Shen Yuxia couldn't believe it, and strode into the house.

Everyone only heard a heavy and stunned scream, and then Shen Yuxia, who made an exclamation sound, jumped out quickly.

Yu Qingfeng's heart sank again. How tragic is the corpse, even Shen Yuxia, the head catcher, is scared like this?

"This, who is this corpse? There are sixteen members of the Yang family, no more, no less, and there are also sixteen corpses, and their faces and identities are all verified......

Shen Yuxia was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by retching.

Lin Ming didn't know who the seventeenth corpse was, so he walked to Yu Qingfeng, took out an object from his arms, and stuffed it into Yu Qingfeng's hand.

"Miss Yu, I did what I said and found ...... Dense...... It's a secret room, and I'll leave it to you. ”

Yu Qingfeng lowered her head sadly and looked at the thing in her hand.

It was a shiny bead, the size of an egg, glowing faintly in the night.
