A coincidence can be regarded as a coincidence, but only a fool would be fooled to regard consecutive coincidences as coincidences.
Xia Jingyun sat on the horseback on the way back, with four words written all over his face: he was worried.
Feng Xiuyun looked at his side face. Although Xia Jingyun didn't say anything, she had quite a lot of experience in palace fighting. She guessed the possible conspiracy story behind it from the few words of the question, so she said softly: "But still Need my help?"
Xia Jingyun was awakened by this gentle voice. Looking at the concerned female official in the palace, he inexplicably remembered her condescending attitude a few days ago, and his heart suddenly felt much lighter.
In just a few days, I have made such great progress, so why should I be so afraid and worried?
Isn't it just a conspiracy? Just come and I will stop you!
Life is never easy.
"I'm asking you something!" Seeing Xia Jingyun staring at her in shock, Feng Xiuyun's heart was slightly trembling as she urged him.
Xia Jingyun came to his senses and said, "Please take me to the county government office."
------------------
"Master Feng, Mr. Xia, we already know about the supervisor Niu Er. Wu Captou has just taken people to investigate. Niu Er was also unlucky to meet Shan Shan who happened to be patrolling outside the city on his way back. Thief, lost his life.”
In the county government office, the chief clerk led the arrester and reported the situation to the two of them, mainly to Feng Xiuyun.
Xia Jingyun naturally didn't believe that it was a coincidence that the bandits happened. After thinking about it, he said, "Does he still have the silver coins and sword on him?"
Wu Captou is a burly and tall middle-aged man. Although he has bent under the weight of power, he still looks down on this kind of powerful man who knows nothing about criminal names from the bottom of his heart. "The other party is a bandit, how can he let these things go. "
Xia Jingyun was a little embarrassed. It was written like this in other books. He pretended to be a bandit and killed people, but then forgot to take away the silver coins. The protagonist cleverly cracked it. Why didn't it work for him?
So he turned to look at Feng Xiuyun, "Can I go see the body?"
Catcher Wu felt a little disrespected. I am the Catcher. Shouldn't you ask me this?
Feng Xiuyun took a look and confirmed that he was serious, then nodded in agreement, and then the chief clerk ordered: "Captain Wu, please take Mr. Xia to have a look."
Wu Captou:......
After Xia Jingyun followed Wu Captou and left, Feng Xiuyun, who stayed in the hall to wait with tea, looked at the chief clerk accompanying him with a serious and arrogant look, "Do you think this supervisor was really killed by bandits? ?"
The chief clerk hesitated for a moment and then said carefully: "He died outside the city, it was evening again, there was no one around, there were no clues, and there was nowhere to start. He was either a mountain bandit or a mountain bandit."
Feng Xiuyun looked at him deeply, "So, he is going to return without success?"
The chief clerk leaned forward and did not answer, but the meaning was self-evident.
When leading Xia Jingyun to the morgue, Capt. Wu couldn't help but said, "Mr. Xia, do you still know how to make a fool of yourself?"
Xia Jingyun shook his head and gave a random reason, "He has an old relationship with me after all, so I just came to give him a ride."
Capt. Wu could also tell that Xia Jingyun was talking nonsense. He didn't know how the labor camp supervisor treated the workers, but he couldn't say anything else after the other party said so.
Just look at it, he can't see any clues about it, and it's impossible for someone like this who knows nothing about criminal names to find any clues.
He has seen many such self-righteous people.
As they were walking, a crying woman came out of the morgue escorted by two police officers.
Xia Jingyun asked: "What is this?"
Wu Captou said: "It is Niu Er's widow who came to identify the body and discuss taking the body for funeral."
Oh, I almost didn’t recognize him when he was wearing clothes.
Xia Jingyun recalled the scene he had seen before, twitching his lips in embarrassment, and followed Capt. Wu into the morgue.
I don't know if it was a deliberate choice of location, or if it was really a bit mysterious, but as soon as I entered, I felt a chill.
Because Empress Dowager De is coming back, the county has tightened its security management, and some of the most vicious people have been sent to the labor camps to be used as consumables. There have been no murder cases recently, and there is only one corpse in the morgue.
Capt. Wu walked to the body, suddenly lifted the white cloth covering the body, and then looked at Xia Jingyun narrowly, hoping to see some panic and fear in him. This is also what they often do when they occasionally seek revenge on those in power. Bad taste.
But he was disappointed. Xia Jingyun's expression was unusually calm, and he didn't even blink.
For many years at the project site, Xia Jingyun has seen death situations much more tragic than this, let alone this, and has already developed extremely strong psychological quality.
He looked carefully and saw that the iconic beard on Niu Er's face was still there, and there were many scars on his body. He couldn't tell whether it was a knife wound or a sword wound. Anyway, it looked bloody, which was consistent with being outnumbered and hacked to death with random knives.
Xia Jingyun silently counted the time. Last night happened to be the eighth day since the last time he saw his life. God really had his own plan!
So who killed him? Is it the one who asked him before?
If so, what was the purpose of the other party asking him about him, and then killing him first after he took Wen Kui? Afraid of exposure?
Did he reveal his "fortune-telling" ability to the other party?
Xia Jingyun felt that the fog was shrouding one layer after another, and he had doubts one after another. But now that he had only found this point, he could only bite the bullet and try to dig deeper.
Catcher Wu was watching with his arms folded, joking in his heart. An experienced captor like him had been looking around for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. But this young man in front of him, who was still young, could figure out what was going on. What.
"Captain Wu, please cover it." Xia Jingyun stared at it for a while, sighed, and said.
"Mr. Xia, have you seen anything?"
Xia Jingyun pretended not to see the teasing look in Captain Wu's eyes and shook his head, "No."
"It's okay. You are Wen Kui. It's normal for you to be unfamiliar with this matter of punishment and naming. There are so many different lines like mountains. You can be great at everything! Right?"
Xia Jingyun's heart suddenly moved, "Where's the one from Niu's family just now?"
Wu Captou was shaken by this sharp turn, "I guess he left."
"Can you please Mr. Wu to help me bring her back?"
...
A moment later, in a side room, Xia Jingyun and Niu Er's widow, Niu Wangshi, sat across a table from each other.
Xia Jingyun looked at the woman in front of him. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her eyes were full of charm. She did have some capital to make people commit crimes.
Combined with Niu Er's family background and the scene he saw earlier, Xia Jingyun couldn't help but think of words like "Master's Mission".
"Mrs. Niu, this person has passed away. I feel sorry for you."
The woman opposite just cried lowly and said intermittently, thank you sir, please sir, please avenge your husband.
"Mrs. Niu, the Yamen will do its best to fulfill your demands. Now I have a few questions to ask you."
The woman hummed, sobbing quietly, shaking her shoulders slightly, "Sir, please speak."
Xia Jingyun said: "Stretch out your hand first."
The woman raised her head instantly, her face turned red, "My lord..."
"Don't think too much about it. I have a secret method that can be used to detect lies. I won't offend you. All you have to do is stretch out your hand like a doctor checking your pulse."
Xia Jingyun looked serious, "Besides, do you think I'm in need of a woman?"
The woman then raised her head seriously and took a serious look, then decisively stretched out her hand and pulled up her sleeves to reveal her white arms. Xia Jingyun quickly stopped.
Captain Wu and several other detectives were standing in the corner of the room. One of the detectives said in a very low voice, dissatisfied: "Boss, does anyone try a case like this?"
Capt. Wu also frowned and sighed secretly.
Damn it, this kid looks so human, but...
I can't even do such a thing! Even if you go to whoring! Spend some money! nausea!
The policemen on the side were all filled with indignation and looked at Xia Jingyun with red eyes.
The corpse in the next room had not yet cooled down, and the widow's hand was touched here. This scene really stimulates the justice in people's hearts.
Xia Jingyun stretched out his fingers and put them on the woman's wrist, pretending to examine the case, "Now, you need to look into my eyes."
"Yes." The woman hummed sweetly, her tears turning into mist, making her already alluring eyes look like a trapped swamp.
Xia Jingyun secretly cursed that he was indeed not a good person. He calmed down and kept asking questions.
At first, the woman was worried that the other party would ask about the scandal between her and her lover, fearing that she would be exposed by the other party's secret method, but after asking a few questions, she felt relieved. It seemed that the other party was just a person who didn't understand anything.
In response to such questions, the police officers on the side became more and more indignant, especially when they saw that the woman was actually enjoying herself, which instantly brought them into the thoughts of the suffering master, with their eyes spitting fire.
Xia Jingyun's heart was still, and he was organizing his words carefully, trying to make himself look more serious, and waiting for the time to run out.
Just as he was about to finish asking the torture lines he had memorized in his mind, his eyes suddenly blurred, and a picture appeared that lived up to his expectations.
Mrs. Niu Wang stood in the room and was about to take off her mourning clothes. A black figure jumped into the room and hugged her. She was about to scream when the other party smiled and whispered: "It's me."
It turned out to be the adulterer who was beaten miserably last time. He put his arms around Niu Wang and raised and lowered his hands while saying: "My dear, I'm not lying to you. I have already dealt with this rude man. You should treat him well first." Keep your filial piety, and when the period of filial piety is over, I will accept you as my disciple, and we will live our lives openly and honestly."
Niu Wangshi was as soft as a puddle of water in his arms, and said in a disgusting voice: "From now on, I will let you do whatever you want..."
"I'll deal with you well tonight!"
The scene was interrupted, Xia Jingyun looked at the sad woman in front of him, and a sudden feeling of disgust arose in his heart.
"Let her go!"
A policeman finally couldn't bear it any longer, roared angrily, and rushed towards him!
