Since taking over the mantle of his ancestors, Xu Chengzuo has been diligent and conscientious in his duties, whether it is the requirements of the county government position or the constraints of his ancestors on his work, he has never neglected half a point.

Because of his small reputation, in addition to the cases in Annan County that need to be checked, Xu Qizuo often goes to other surrounding counties to help solve cases.

In order to help the county government catch the real culprit as soon as possible, and also for the people to live in peace.

Xu Yanzuo can be said to be so devoted to the work of investigating the case that he has not yet married after the age of 30.

No matter what difficulties and life encounters, Xu Yanzuo has never slackened his faith and persistence in this job for more than 30 years.

Available today.

Fan Ye's words pierced his heart and made him shake his firmness a little.

Indeed, it has been more than 30 days since the incident occurred.

The case itself is particularly bizarre, and if it were to be taken as an ordinary person, it would be natural to assume that the three deceased were all physically deprived of food due to being in a state of displacement for a long time.

In such a situation, sudden death is also a matter of course.

In most cases, the case is hastily closed.

After taking over the case, Xu Chengzuo rummaged through the codex left by his ancestors in his family, as well as allusions in various books, and found that this kind of sudden death without external injuries and no reason did exist.

But never in three people at once.

Moreover, these three people are still related to a certain extent, and the place of death is also in the same place.

The three deceased, a man, a woman and a young child, were not identical in terms of physical fitness and structure.

Combined with clues from all sides, Xu Yanzuo finally decided that the case was her murder.

And the arrested suspect was the only one who had contact with the family.

If it's not him, who else could it be?!

With the conclusion of the case, Lord Xia quickly sent someone to arrest the murder suspect.

But in the past month, no matter how Lord Xia interrogated the suspect, he insisted that he was innocent.

During this period, Lord Xia also tried to use criminal law, but the pain of flesh and skin still did not make him show the slightest sign of relenting.

Lord Xia is a person who is honest and honest, not a cool and corrupt official.

Seeing that the suspect was so resolute and unyielding, he also sensed that something was wrong.

In order not to wronged any innocent person, he had no choice but to delay the case again and again.

In fact, Shangfeng, who is in charge of Annan County, had already inquired about the case seven days ago, and urged Xia Daren to close the case quickly in his words, so as not to affect the solving rate of the homicide case in Annan County.

Seeing that Lord Xia was so worried, Xu Yanzuo also repeatedly examined the corpse in this mortuary every day.

Unfortunately, there are no more clues.

Fan Ye's refutation just now made Xu Yanzuo have to start self-doubting.

Did you solve the case by yourself and rummage through the corpses every day, resulting in inadvertently losing or erasing the subtle and important clues?!

Fan Ye didn't admit that he had choked on a word, and the other party quieted down.

Seeing that Xu Qizuo had lost his previous anger, he naturally stopped talking.

"Uncle He, you said earlier that these three corpses had no wounds and were not poisoned."

Su Qingtian tugged at Fan Ye's sleeve to signal him to get out of the way, then walked up to He Gu and Xu Qizuo and asked, "Are there any other clues besides these?" Any small unusual situation can be talked about. ”

He Gu shook his head without thinking about it.

"The work of the corpse investigation has been repeated many times, and I have told you everything I can know."

"Regarding the names and origins of the three people, Lord Xia has also been arranging for people to investigate, but unfortunately no one has intersected with them, and the three of them came from afar, and there is no object on them that can prove their identity, which is also an important reason for determining that they are homeless."

"After the investigation of the surrounding households where the corpse was found was fruitless, Lord Xia also sent a letter to the surrounding county town to look for the person."

"But after January, many family members who disappeared came to identify the bodies, but they all said that they didn't know the three of them at all."

"That's why this nameless case has been deadlocked to this day."

"You say, tentatively designate the three of them as outcasts?"

Grabbing He Gu's words, Fan Ye glanced at Su Qingtian and asked, "What do you mean for the time being?" ”

Determination is determination, and tentativeness is indeed a bit difficult to fathom.

Fan Ye travels far and wide and is particularly sensitive to these small branches.

"According to eyewitnesses who saw the trio, the family was dressed flamboyantly and generously."

"Among them, this man is a vulgar mountain temperament, which does not match his gorgeous clothes, and he looks like a reckless man in his gestures, which attracts some people's attention."

"And the woman has been following behind the man, only bowing her head and hugging her back, looking scared of life."

When Fan Ye heard this description, he was surprised and novel, "What about this child?" ”

"It's even stranger to have children."

Speaking of this, He Gu also recalled with a puzzled face, "We found an inn, and the store said that they came up and ordered ten dishes, and the child seemed to have never eaten, so he grabbed the dishes and sent them to his mouth." ”

"One bite after another, gobbling up as if I hadn't eaten enough for a long time."

"So Lord Xia guessed that they were originally homeless people, and they robbed the money of a rich family on the way to Annan County, so they came here in such a posture."

"However, the specific identity needs to be further investigated in detail before it can be determined."

"In that case, you don't know if you find the rich man who was robbed?"

Facing Fan Ye's attention, He Gu shook his head, "It's a pity that I didn't find it, whether it was going to the official road to check and visit during this time, or the cases received by the surrounding counties, there was no trace of being robbed." ”

Fan Ye was shocked at this time.

In this case, the passages everywhere have been cut off cleanly!

"Didn't you say that the suspect had already been caught? Just because he refused to plead guilty, he was not convicted? ”

Su Qingtian led the topic to his third uncle without a trace.

Usually, the government decides the case, and as long as the three evidence are complete, the conviction can be made.

Whether the suspect pleads guilty or not, it is irreversible.

Who knew that He Gu sighed secretly, lowered his voice and said, "The two of you don't know, the suspect in the prison has been ruled out of suspicion, and he is not the real murderer of this case!" ”

"He is the proprietor of Wanhetang, and he was involved in this matter less than half an hour after returning to the city from a traveling businessman, and all the evidence has nothing to do with him."

"If you know it's not the real murderer, why don't you let it go?"

Fan Ye asked with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that you Lord Xia can't find the real culprit for a long time, so you plan to detain this innocent person and beat him into a trick, so as to end the case with the guilt?!" ”

The one who was locked up in the cell was the third uncle of his own little master, so he naturally would not stand by coldly.

"This brother can't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Fan Ye slandered his lord's reputation, He Gu's face instantly became stern, and he said coldly, "Lord Xia is law-abiding and a rare good official, he will definitely not do this!" ”
