Chapter 1114: The Mansion
Zhou Fan has never seen such a clean case.
The investigation methods of the Yiluan Division Mansion are very different from the world before him, but it is not right to say that the investigation methods of the Yiluan Division are behind his previous world.
After all, this world is so weird, even if he can use all the scientific methods of his world to investigate, it is difficult to play any role, this world has its own set of methods, which are more suitable for the situation of this world.
But Yiluan Division has found nothing so far, and it is clear that the case is very complicated.
He sighed with some regret, if the black dragon was still there, he might be able to borrow the time of the black dragon's refining to go back to the bead to see what happened here.
But the black dragon has long been asleep, and Zhou Kitten has consulted him, and she said that there is nothing he can do about it.
And time backtracking is not without drawbacks, the black dragon said that the longer time passes, the more difficult it will be to backtrack.
Zhou Fan thought about these things, he didn't think about it anymore, but walked out of the alley.
The guards at the entrance of the alley hurriedly bowed and saluted when they saw Zhou Fan coming out.
Zhou Fan just waved his hand and left without saying a word.
The two guards looked at each other, they originally thought that Zhou Fan would definitely ask them some questions about the alley like the three of Kurong who had been here before, but who knew that Zhou Fan left without saying a word.
After Zhou Fan finished watching the scene where the body was found, he did not leave Qingmei Town, but came to the west of the town.
As the people in the town said, there are very few people living in the west of the town, and the houses are somewhat dilapidated, and during the day, the strong men of the family go out to work, and most of them are old people and children at home.
Seeing Zhou Fan, an outsider, wearing patched clothes and a child with black dirt on his face that could not be wiped clean, he had a timid and frightened expression on his face.
The old people looked at Zhou Fan with a wary look on their faces, recently the town found a big man dead, the west of their town is the poorest place in Qingmei Town, tourists generally do not come to this kind of place, they are very wary of strangers.
Zhou Fan just showed a kind smile at them, and didn't approach to ask, the old man and child just looked at Zhou Fan, and didn't follow, until Zhou Fan's figure disappeared from their sight, they turned their heads to do their own thing.
Zhou Fan found that the west of the town was a little cold, but it was also like what the people in Qingmei Town said, which was caused by the terrain.
There are not many people living in the west of the town, some of the old houses are still locked from the outside, the copper locks are covered with dust, and the wooden doors are still stuck with cobwebs, apparently no one has lived in them for a long time.
As Zhou Fan walked, he spread out his eyes, ears, nose and tongue, and investigated the rooms where there were people or people, but after walking down, he didn't find anything, but he heard some whispers from the old people in the west of the town.
"Who is this man?"
"I don't know, ignore him. ”
"What if he's here to do something bad?"
"No, the officials in the town are very nervous, I heard that the patrol and the adults in the town are keeping an eye out for outsiders, I guess he is from the official family. A more knowledgeable old man said.
Zhou Fan didn't close his ears, he listened to these broken words, trying to find clues from these broken words.
But after listening for a while, I still didn't hear any useful clues.
Zhou Fan left the west of the town with some disappointment, and found the big mansion in the south of the town.
The area of the house is also one of the best in Qingmei Town, it stands to reason that the house has long disappeared, and this house should have been repossessed by the official family and then sold to people who can afford it, why is it left empty?
Zhou Fan was a little interested, he walked up the steps, wanting to push open the wooden door of the house and go in to have a look.
"Stop. A seven-person warrior squad rushed over, and they looked at Zhou Fan with vigilance.
Zhou Fan retracted his hand.
"Who are you?" asked a tall man led by seven members of the warrior squad.
"I'm from the Yiluan Division. Zhou Fan took out the token and threw it to the tall man.
The tall man took the token, carefully identified it, and then respectfully handed the token back to Zhou Fan with both hands: "Don't blame, my lord, I offended a lot just now." ”
"What's your name, why did you suddenly stop me?" Zhou Fan took back the token and asked lightly.
"The lowly name is Han Su, and he is the deputy captain of the town patrol, and I just heard from the people in the town that I found a suspicious person, so I led the team over. Han Su explained with a sweat on his head.
Because the token that Zhou Fan took out was of a very high level, and those who could have this kind of token were all big people he couldn't afford to offend, so Han Su was so nervous.
"Han Su, are you from Qingmei Town or a foreign martial artist?" Zhou Fan asked.
"Lord Hui, I'm a native of Qingmei Town. Han Su didn't dare to hide it.
"Very well, then you go in with me, and the rest of the people stay outside. Zhou Fan said without hesitation.
"Yes. Han Su immediately agreed.
Zhou Fan wanted to stretch out his hand to push the door, but Han Su saw this and hurriedly said: "My lord, this door has been forbidden by us to cast a talisman on it, and outsiders can only enter if they break the door, but once the door is broken, we will know." ”
As he spoke, Han Su took out a talisman from his talisman bag and pasted it on the door.
The talisman emitted a cyan light, and the wooden door trembled faintly.
"Your Excellency, it's okay. Han Su took off the talisman and said.
Zhou Fan nodded slightly, he hesitated for a moment and said, "You pick another person to go in with me." ”
He was afraid that there were only two people in the middle of the accident and he couldn't tell clearly, and it would be better to have one more.
"Yes. Han Su picked out another cronie from the team.
Han Su didn't really understand why Zhou Fan added another person, but he knew that there would be nothing wrong with following orders.
Zhou Fan pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
The wooden gate opened to reveal an overgrown courtyard.
The courtyard is connected to the hall of the house.
Zhou Fan asked Han Su and the others to close the door, isolating all the sight outside.
"Do you know how many people have entered here?" Zhou Fan asked, looking at the messy footprints on the dusty bluestone road leading to the hall from the courtyard, and did not rush inward.
"The envoy of Zhengbei died in the town, and the people of the Sifu searched this house, but it is not clear how many people there are. Han Su replied cautiously.
"Have you ever seen the envoy to the north before?" Zhou Fan asked again.
"I've seen a few people from afar, but I haven't talked to each other. Han Su's face was a little subtle and said, even if he had spoken to the Northern Envoy before, he didn't dare to say it, but now everyone understands that once he is involved in the case of the Northern Envoy, it may be a dead end.
But in a small place like Qingmei Town, he really didn't have the opportunity to talk to the envoy of Zhengbei.
Zhou Fan just glanced at Han Su lightly, Han Su's answer was not surprising to him, but he still asked like this, in order to observe Han Su's reaction, he looked at the hall in front of him and said slowly: "You are from Qingmei Town, then you tell me, do you know the people in this house?"
"You know, when I was a teenager, a merchant surnamed Mei bought the mansion here, and they became the new owners of the house, and they settled down in Qingmei Town for several years...... Han Su replied: "Until the incident, except for the occasional merchant of the Mei family, the rest of the Mei family has not left Qingmei Town. ”
"Oh, what happened then?" Zhou Fan asked slowly.
