Chapter 278: Suspicion
Yu Tiezhu said, "But we don't know where that guy is hiding?" Although Blackwater Town is not big, it also houses thousands of families. ”
Li Huaiyun said, "No, I didn't mean that, I don't need to find out where that guy is hiding first!" Let's hurry to the county office and check the monk's body again, there should be more clues! ”
"It's all about it...!"
"I'll do the autopsy!"
Yu Tiezhu clapped his hands, he didn't know the environment in which the corpse was located, and when the autopsy was conducted, there was naturally some deviation, if it was transported by Li Huai, he could more accurately speculate about the situation of the corpse.
"Let Master Li conduct the autopsy, that is the safest."
"Please come with me." He went downstairs with Li Huaiyun, prepared to call a carriage, and rushed to the county office.
The shopkeeper of Youpeng Inn and the two of them came down and immediately stepped forward, "Have you checked it out?" If it's all right, I'll clean the house. ”
"No!" Yu Tiezhu pointed to the shopkeeper, and still said sincerely, "Before we have cleared up the case, the shopkeeper can't clean the guest room without permission." ”
"What are you kidding, you haven't caught the murderer for so long, but you want me to open the door and do business waiting for you."
He scolded himself again.
For the sake of unnecessary trouble, Yu Tiezhu pulled Li Huaiyun and walked out, "My lord, don't worry about him, let's go do things first." ”
"Except for the murder, it's still like this, this guy relies on the support of the prefect, it's all this kind of attitude, if he kills someone or does other evil things in the future, no one dares to punish this person heavily."
Li Huaiyun walked up directly and pinched the collar of the shopkeeper, "Don't you just rely on the support of the county prefect!" ”
The shopkeeper pointed at him, "You..., who are you to dare to be so unreasonable." ”
"Unreasonable! It's not that you don't take people in your eyes first, and dare to obstruct the investigation of Dali Temple again! He roared, "Who gave you the guts!" ”
"Big... Dali Temple? The shopkeeper's face immediately turned pale, although I don't know how detailed this person is, but a very small number of people will come out and pretend to be court officials, which is a capital crime of killing the head.
He thought about it, how could there be an official of the imperial court coming here in this extremely cold place!
"There is no basis for words!"
"Humph!" Li Huaiyun raised the corners of his mouth, "You should be glad that I didn't show the certificate, otherwise, you will be even more troublesome." ”
"I'm telling you, the guest room above is kept intact for me, and if there is even the slightest trace of cleaning, you will wait to be beaten or jailed."
The shopkeeper emboldened, "Don't bluff me! I'm not that fooled. ”
"You try! Just get it! Li Huaiyun directly threw the shopkeeper to the ground, followed Yu Tiezhu and turned around and left the inn and went to the county office.
On the way to the county office, Li Huaiyun asked, "Over the years, has this guy been relying on the support of the prefect, and there is no one in his eyes, doing evil!" ”
Yu Tiezhu didn't speak, and acquiesced in this behavior, "It's not that it's evil, it's just a little arrogant!" ”
"Master Li doesn't need to be so surprised, this is a common thing, nowadays, there is no nepotism in the family of any official, as long as it is not the kind of person who is particularly evil, he will generally tolerate it."
"Yu Zhutou's words are true, but with this relationship, they will be even worse, and they have no scruples, so more often, they still have to deal with this matter."
"It's still the same sentence, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and most people can't eat enough, so they don't bother to take care of these things!"
Li Huaiyun did not continue, this is the case for the commoners of this era, and there is nothing wrong with the situation he said, if you want to change this situation, unless the emperor personally orders a thorough investigation.
After coming to the county office, Yu Zhutou directly led Li Huaiyun to the room where the morgue was found.
At this time, it was almost night, and the already gloomy sky became even darker, and a little rain fell in the air.
The entire county government was shrouded in darkness.
As they passed by a courtyard, someone stopped them.
"Iron Pillar!" Talking was the old catcher who had eaten together in the hotel before, "Aren't you supposed to go on patrol?" How did you get here again? ”
Yu Tiezhu hurriedly explained, "Head, there is a new development in the case of the monk being killed!" ”
Catcher looked at the two of them with questioning eyes, "Oh, who is this?" ”
"He is from Dali Temple in Kyoto, and he is fortunate to be here to investigate the case!"
"Impossible! No one has ever reported this case to the top. ”
"Just a coincidence!" Li Huaiyun responded, "I didn't come to Heishui Town to investigate the case, I just passed by, I saw this murder case happened here, and after in-depth understanding, I realized that the case may be related to the case I investigated, and there is some connection, in the case of that case without a clue, maybe I can get some clues from this case!" ”
The older catcher quickly pulled Yu Tiezhu to the side, and he always maintained a skeptical attitude towards Li Huaiyun, "Tiezhu! Did you tell him what was going on? ”
"Yes! I also went to the scene to investigate. ”
"Confused!" The elder Zhukuai's face changed, "Are you sure the other party's identity is Dali Temple?" I'm not afraid that this guy is a murderer! ”
"Impossible! Judging from this man's clothes and appearance, it is obvious that he is from outside! ”
"How do you judge that the murderer of the monk is not from outside?"
Yu Tiezhu told the clues they found at the crime scene, which made the elderly catcher relax his guard a little.
"He's really from Dali Temple?" Catch fast is still a little reluctant to believe!
"Yes, most of those clues were discovered by him! If he were a murderer, he wouldn't have followed me to the scene of the crime. ”
"Alright! Then I'll believe you once! ”
Yu Tiezhu said to Li Huaiyun, "Master Li, this is Fan Yihai, and he is also the catcher of the county government, he has been serving here for more than forty years!" ”
"Don't look at his age, his body is no worse than us middle-aged people!"
Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Fan catches quickly!" Believe I'm not a murderer, can you? ”
"Master Li! It's a joke! Fan Chukuai immediately bowed down and saluted, "I'm also here for safety, after all, this place is sparsely populated, and there are very few officials from Kyoto who come here, and their identities are unknown, so I have to figure it out!" ”
"Don't go outside to Lord Li!"
"How so! Fan is also cautious! Let's hurry up and examine the corpse! ”
"Okay! Master Li, please follow me! As soon as Fan Zhu raised his hand, he led the two of them to the place where the county government had the other party's body.
A dark and damp house was located in the corner of the courtyard, and Fan Yukuai took a candle and walked towards the house.
The faint light of the fire made this place even more eerie.
