Shen Zhutou and his party did not find a trace of the murderer for a long time, it can be said that there was no such person, and the case suddenly fell into a trough.

Shen Zhutou returned to Yuan Liang's side and said with some discouragement: "My lord, I haven't found any useful clues for the time being!" ”

Yuan Liang sighed and said, "Then let's go back first!" ”

……

The onlookers saw that the body was taken away and left the scene one after another, but the rumors spread all of a sudden, causing panic among the people in the city.

The body was transported back to the workshop, and Yuan Liang sent Shen Zhutou to investigate the identity of the deceased.

After some investigation, the identity of the deceased was soon known.

The deceased, Zhu Yu, female, 15 years old, lived in Zhujia Village, not far from Qinghe County, her parents are still alive, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister at home.

When Zhu Yu's mother learned of her daughter's unexpected death, she couldn't hold back her tears, and she couldn't believe that the child who was alive a few days ago died all of a sudden.

Shen Zhutou took Zhu Yu's parents to the county office to identify the corpse, and when he saw that the corpse lying cold in the middle of the work was his daughter, he was heartbroken and cried bitterly.

Zhu Yu's mother saw Yuan Liang wearing an official uniform, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "My lord, please avenge my daughter, catch the murderer, and cut him with a thousand knives."

How is it that my daughter, so young and beautiful, who has not yet enjoyed a good life, died suddenly? She is usually innocent and innocent, who killed her like this? ”

When the silent father heard the news of his daughter's death, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, his temples were gray, and his expression was gloomy, he wanted to cry, but he had to endure it.

Mother Zhu's kneeling flattered Yuan Liang, he helped her up, and said, "Second elder, don't worry, this official will not let the murderer go unpunished, I will catch the murderer as soon as possible." ”

After comforting Zhu Yu's parents, Yuan Liang returned to the study, as if he had been drained of his whole strength, sitting softly on the chair, thinking about the case.

As a parent official, he must catch the murderer, and he can't let the murderer go unpunished and ignore the law, otherwise he will violate the oath he took when he became an official.

It was late afternoon. Ru Yi heard that there was a murder in the city, a woman died, although she saw too much life and death, but it was inevitable that a young life would die.

She came to the study with a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Ah Liang, how is the case investigated?" ”

Yuan Liang shook his head and said, "There is no clue for the time being." ”

Ru Yi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the clues need to be found slowly, the case will be solved, let's drink a bowl of chicken soup first!" I boiled it with my own hands! ”

Hearing her say that it was a soup made by herself, Yuan Liang looked at her in a daze, it seemed that he hadn't eaten anything cooked by his daughter-in-law for a long time, and he still remembered that when he was in Meiyu Village before, his daughter-in-law often cooked rice, and the fragrance was ...... Well, it's very fragrant.

Yuan Liang took the soup bowl and took a few sips, and his mood that seemed to be depressed by the case instantly improved a lot, and said: "Daughter-in-law, what you cook with your own hands is delicious, and I am in a much better mood." ”

Ru Yiwan smiled, as if she saw the silly and cute silly Yuan Liang again, she said, "Well, after you finish the soup, don't rest too late." The clues left behind will not be lost, and it will not be too late to find them tomorrow. ”

-

Yuan Liang is the county magistrate of Qing-He County, and now that there is a murder, it must be the top priority to arrest the murderer, so as not to cause unnecessary panic to the people in the city.

But the next day, for a whole day, the people sent out by Yuan Liang still made no progress......

Three days have passed since the body was found.
