Chapter 278: You Can Take a Shortcut (Second Update)

The attention of everyone suddenly shifted to Fang Tao, who was running over quickly.

Fang Tao ran to them and relieved his breath for a while before saying: "After we returned to the county, Hua Chunyuan was already closed, so we went directly to Hua Chunyuan's golden shopkeeper's house, we just told the characteristics of the deceased, and the golden shopkeeper immediately said, I bought pastries from him in the past two days and had plans to go to Xinzhou, only ...... Only the chief steward of Guangmingtang Lin - Yang Shao and his daughter-in-law Lin Fanghe! ”

Xu Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at him in disbelief.

The name Yang Shao, she can be said to be familiar with it during this time.

Unexpectedly, this pair of deceased people turned out to be one of the reasons why she deliberately returned to Anping County!

Her people only told her a few days ago that Zhu Shunxi might have noticed that their people were checking on them, and then Yang Shao had an accident.

What is the connection between these two things?!

Fang Tao continued: "The golden shopkeeper said that Yang Shao and his wife sent their servants to buy pastries, and the fact that they were going to Xinzhou was also heard from the servants who had come to buy pastries. Because the Lin family likes their Huachun Garden pastries very much, Yang Shao and his wife have also come to them in person before, and the golden shopkeeper said that the height and age of Yang Shao and his wife are just right for the deceased! ”

Xu Jing stared at him closely, and said with a solemn face: "Did the golden shopkeeper say, why did they suddenly go to Xinzhou?" ”

Fang Tao shook his head and said: "The golden shopkeeper said, the servant didn't say this, but after knowing that the deceased might be Yang Shao and his wife, we brought the family of Yang Shao and his wife over, and the villain came over to report this matter to Deng County Commander first, and the others were brought here by Lu Wei." ”

Deng Xianling couldn't help but say: "Do it, do it well!" ”

Xu Jing asked again, "Who are you brought?" ”

Fang Tao: "Because Yang Shao is not from Qingzhou, his parents and brothers are not in Qingzhou, and all we can find is Lin's family." Lin is the sister of the Lin family in Guangmingtang, but Lin Dangjia and his two sons are in Xijing these days, and several of his brothers are also in charge of the Guangmingtang branch there in various places, and now there are few Lin families left in Qingzhou, and most of them are some old and weak women and children, so we can only invite the wife of Lin Dangjia over.

In addition, we also invited Mr. and Mrs. Zhu, who are now in charge of Guangming Hall in Anping County, to come over.

Lin Yuerong, the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper Zhu, is the cousin of the Lin family, and they are also close relatives of Yang Shao and his wife.

Moreover, when I came over, I heard them talk about it, saying that the night before yesterday, when Shopkeeper Zhu and Yang Shao were drinking, there seemed to be a dispute, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel, and they almost had a fight, but fortunately, the family dissuaded them.

But because I was in a hurry to come back and report the situation to Deng County, the villain didn't know much about what was going on. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.

The two had just had an argument the night before yesterday, and today Yang Shao and his wife died.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Xu Jing's eyes couldn't help but sink even more.

The day before yesterday was also the day when Zhu Shunxi found their people.

Because Lu Wei took several people, no matter how fast he went, everyone could only wait patiently.

While Xu Jing was waiting, she asked Cheng Xiao to find her a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil.

This is also her standing tool for investigating cases, Cheng Xiao often follows her during this time, and she will not forget to carry these things with her.

Immediately, Xu Jing found a few officials who had just gone to the forest to find the corpses, and said, "Can you tell me about the terrain of this forest and the place where the corpses were found?" ”

The words of one of the officials who had just gone out to look for the body parts caught her attention.

Maybe in this case, she can take a little shortcut.

Just when Xu Jing, with the help of a group of officials, drew a topographical map of the vicinity and marked all the locations where the body parts were found, Lu Wei's voice finally came, "Deng County Order, Xu Niangzi, the villain has brought someone who may be related to the deceased here!" As long as they look at the corpse, they should be able to determine whether the deceased is Yang Shao and his wife! ”

Soon, under the light of the blazing torches, they saw Lu Wei walking briskly with a tall, thin middle-aged man with a goatee and two women who were supporting each other.

The three of them all frowned, their faces were slightly pale, and the man with the goatee, Zhu Shunxi, was the first to speak: "What the hell is going on!" How could that guy Yang Shao suddenly die! But mistaken! ”

One of them, wearing a moon-white placket and a chest skirt, looked relatively weak, and said with some trepidation: "Yes, they, they should have gone to Xinzhou now, during this time, there was something wrong with our Guangmingtang's branch in Xinzhou, and they started to leave for Xinzhou yesterday afternoon." ”

Another woman wearing a light green waist-length skirt with a plump figure said soothingly: "Cousin and daughter-in-law, don't panic first, the two officials just now didn't say it, they let us recognize people, that is, they are not sure that it was their cousin and cousin-in-law who had an accident." ”

Depending on the situation, the woman wearing the moon-white skirt is Lin Chengzhao's wife, and the woman in the light green skirt is Zhu Shunxi's daughter-in-law Lin Yuerong.

Those present immediately went to both sides and made way for them to lead to the corpses.

Before taking them over, Lu Wei said: "On the way, I have already told you that the murderer's method of murder is very cruel, the two dead have been divided, and the condition of the corpses is very tragic, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Zhu Shunxi said with a white face: "We know." ”

The two women hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Wei brought them over, however, although Lu Wei had already reminded them, Xu Jing and Wu Yanzuo also thoughtfully put together all the corpse pieces before they came to recognize them, and the three of them were still frightened the moment they saw the two corpses.

Lin Chengzhao's wife even screamed, and fainted directly, and Lu Wei hurriedly helped her.

Although the other two people didn't faint, they didn't get much better, Lin Yuerong stumbled a few steps, and helped Zhu Shunxi beside him.

Deng Youwei looked at them deeply and said, "You, you see, these two people are Yang Shao and his wife?" ”

Such a corpse whose face cannot be seen clearly may not be recognized by outsiders.

But the relatives who stay with them every day, with their size and general outline, can see something to some extent.

Zhu Shunxi's face turned pale, and after a while, his lips trembled slightly: "They, they seem, are indeed Yang Shao and his daughter-in-law......"

Lin Yuerong couldn't help it, turned her head and covered her mouth desperately to gag, and after finally relieving herself, she muttered, "Impossible, impossible...... Cousin and cousin-in-law, how could they ......"

Deng Youwei immediately exchanged a look with Xu Jing.

The identity of the deceased was confirmed, and the next thing was easy.

Xu Jing looked at Zhu Shunxi and said, "The wife of the head of the Lin family said that Yang Shao and his wife are going to Xinzhou to deal with the matter of the Xinzhou branch of Guangming Hall this time, does Shopkeeper Zhu know what the specific matter is?" ”
