Chapter 288: Case within a case: The disappearance of the bride in the sedan chair case eight
Night led everyone to the front of the wall of Tongjifang, and pointed to the unusually protruding soil bulge on the ground for everyone to see.
Everyone was unsure why, Mu Yirong, who was pinching his chin, tilted his head and looked at the traces of the bulge on the ground: "You mean, the bride in the sedan chair was transported away from the ground?"
How could a big living person be transported away from the ground, and he was not a native grandson who knew how to escape from the ground!
Yin Peiyuan of Jingzhao Mansion learned from Seocho, stepped forward and kicked the bulging ground, and the bulging soil immediately fell back down.
Pei Yuan stretched out his feet and stepped on the newly leveled ground twice, and then shook his head: "The bottom is solid, there is no tunnel, it is impossible for people to pass." ”
"The normal way is not to make a large living person pass through the solid underground. But it's not impossible. ”
Mu Yirong asked the night, is there any unusual way to make people pass through the solid underground?
"Just wrap the person in a sturdy protective shell and pull it underground. ”
Hearing the words of the night, Mu Yirong imagined for a moment, if a person was put in a sturdy protective shell with two sharp ends, similar to the shape of a jujube core, and then pulled by livestock, would he be able to travel underground?
Mu Yirong couldn't give an answer to his thoughts, and he walked east along the protruding ground towards the fang wall.
After walking a long distance, the protruding ground stopped abruptly, Mu Yirong jumped up curiously, and looked towards the inside of the wall, but he didn't see it clearly, so he had to cross the wall.
When Mu Yirong landed on the inside of the wall, he didn't find any protrusions on the ground, so he couldn't help but look around.
Everyone who was originally staring at the protruding ground suddenly saw Mu Yirong walking towards the distance, and then flew over the wall, and they didn't know what he found, so they hurriedly followed and jumped over the wall.
The second prince and Jiang Qinghe didn't know kung fu, and climbing the wall was as hard as a five- or six-year-old child climbing a tree, shouting for someone to move the ladder.
Jingzhao Mansion Judicial Cao Jun He Jing is the most unaccustomed to the second prince such an arrogant and expensive person, he really wants to throw the second prince directly over, but he can't do this, he reluctantly said that it is not good to find a ladder, it is better for him to be a stepping stone for the second prince, and ask the second prince to step on his back and jump over.
The second prince thought that this was a good idea, lifted the brocade robe embroidered with flowers, and urged He Jing to kneel down quickly, when a voice suddenly came from not far away: "On the street, no open defecation is allowed!"
The second prince, who rarely blushes, suddenly felt a panic in his cheeks, turned his head angrily, and saw Seocho standing at the door of Tongjifang facing north, glaring at him and asking him, "If you don't walk in through the door, what are you doing there?"
Just now, everyone was only concerned about following Mu Yirong's footsteps, and they didn't pay attention to passing by the gate of Tongjifang at all, the second prince shook his robe angrily, and shouted at Ruicao angrily: "You found the door, why didn't you speak out earlier?"
Seocho ignored the second prince at all, strode into the door, and the second prince and others saw it, hurried to the door, and walked in.
Mu Yirong and the night and others who jumped in before were still standing under the wall, and Seocho stepped forward and asked them if they had found anything?
Mu Yirong shook his head, and said that the strange ground protrusion was broken at the outer wall, but there was no inside.
Hearing this, Seocho looked at the night: "Tell me quickly, do you know any other clues?"
"I know you better than you!"
Night leaned close to Seocho's ears and lowered her voice to a very low level: "I know where that guy is, it's just that it's inconvenient to take these people there." Unless, you want them to know that we two are demons!"
Seocho frowned slightly, a little disbelieving: "Are you sure that the robbery of the bride in the sedan chair was done by a demon?"
Ye nodded, his expression did not show any emotion, Seocho's brows frowned even tighter, and he looked at Mu Yirong and made a look.
"Since the clue is broken in Tongjifang, it is better for us to look for it separately, so as not to get together too many people and easily startle snakes. ”
When Mu Yirong heard Ruicao's words, he knew in his heart that she wanted to support everyone in Jingzhao Mansion, so he nodded in agreement with Ruicao's statement, and asked Jingzhao Mansion to check the row houses on the west side of Tongji Fang, and they were responsible for investigating the east side.
Yin Peiyuan of Jingzhao Mansion hesitated slightly, first glanced at the night, and then said to Mu Yirong: "Virtuous nephew, if you find any clues, don't hide it, catch that gangster as soon as possible, and rescue the robbed person is the most important." ”
Pei Yuan said this, as if he suspected that Mu Yirong deliberately concealed the clues he found, and was suspected of rushing to attack.
Mu Yirong did hide something, but it had nothing to do with competing for credit, Mu Yirong went to Dali Temple on an errand, never for fame and fortune.
He will always remember that ten years ago, on a cold winter day in the month of Layue and heavy snowfall, a white-haired old man knelt at the door of his house, thanking his father Mu Jingzhong for avenging his wife and daughter who were killed.
The old man's wife and daughter were raped and killed, leaving him alone, and asked the yamen for help, but the case could not be solved for a long time.
Every time the old man went to the yamen to inquire about the progress of the case, the yamen asked him to go home and wait for the letter on the grounds that there were many backlogs of cases and they needed to be investigated one by one.
After waiting to no avail, the disheartened old man wanted to kill himself, and went with his murdered wife and daughter.
But when I thought that my wife and daughter's grievances had not been resolved, I couldn't just swallow my breath anyway, so I cheered up and actively ran around. After fortunately, he heard that the Dali Temple was fair and upright, and avenged for the people, so he knelt down at the door of the Dali Temple, kowtowed and begged the Dali Temple Qing Mu Jingzhong to help him find out the murderer of his wife and daughter, and avenge his wife and daughter.
Mu Jingzhong took over the case, and soon arrested the murderer, who was the old man's neighbor.
The case is very simple, as long as the yamen uses a little thought, the murderer can be caught.
However, the so-called Qingtian Lord is not Qingtian at all, just a big master.
After all, most officials just want to be officials, and they don't want to do things!
On the day when the murderer was beheaded at noon, the old man knelt at the door of Mufu and kowtowed to Mu Jingzhong to thank him.
Mu Jingzhong helped the old man up, and gave a money bag embroidered with the word "Fu", saying that it was the New Year, and he was happy. And told the old man that even if there is only one person left, he must celebrate the New Year and live happily, so that after a hundred years, he can go underground to meet his wife and daughter with a smile.
The old man with tears in his face, after bowing deeply to Mu Jingzhong, stepped on the snow all over the ground, and gradually drifted away in the joy of celebrating the New Year in every household.
At that time, Mu Yirong was standing beside Mu Jingzhong, watching the old man's lonely back disappear into the crowd of firecrackers, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Mu Yirong smiled at Pei Yuan: "Master Pei, you should know that I am not a person who is greedy for fame and profit. If we find the murderer, we will definitely hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion to deal with. ”
Pei Yuan smiled and patted Mu Yirong's shoulder: "Don't misunderstand, nephew, Shibo has no other meaning, and he understands your personality." I hope that we will work together to rescue the bride who was kidnapped as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, he waved to the catchers of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and went to the row house on the west side of Tongjifang to search.
