Xie Xun immediately stopped, turned to face her, clasped his hands and bowed: "I know I was wrong. Please ask Miss Chen Er to spare my life."
"What are you doing!" Xu Zan rode up to the two of them like the wind, looking at this, then that, and finally this, "Hey, Miss Chen Er!"
"Second Miss Chen is amazing," Xu Zan got off his horse, circled Chen Anning twice, then patted the horse and said, "When she wears women's clothes, she is bright and dignified. When she puts on men's clothes, she looks elegant and handsome. Tsk, I hate that I am not my daughter. Otherwise, Miss Chen Er will not marry me!"
Chen Anning looked at Xie Xun with a half-smile.
Xie Xun kicked Xu Zan away, "As long as you can learn two words and use them everywhere!"
Xu Zan exaggeratedly covered his side, "Miss Chen Er, you have to make the decision for me."
Chen Anning cooperated: "Tell me, how do you want me to make the decision for you?"
Xu Zan immediately said: "Tell me what you were doing just now?"
Chen Anning smiled at him and said, "We were just discussing how to poison him in the most delicious way!"
Xu Zan was so frightened that he quickly mounted his horse and galloped away.
After Chen Anning chuckled twice, she looked at Xie Xun, "Where's the horse?"
Xie Xun shouted in the direction Xu Zan left: "Bring the horse over quickly!"
"Here we come!" Xu Zan came back holding a white horse, "Miss Chen Er, this is your horse."
Chen Anning took the horse and as soon as he put his hand on the horse's head, the horse nuzzled towards him affectionately. After patting the horse's back, the horse's front legs immediately knelt down again, with a well-behaved and gentle look. After Chen Anning sat on the horse and walked around the small garden twice and came back, she couldn't help but praise: "It's really good! "
Xu Zan stepped forward on his horse and took credit: "I picked it!"
Chen Anning smiled and praised, "You are awesome!"
Xu Zan glanced at Xie Xun proudly, and then continued: "It's a pity that we have to investigate the case. Otherwise, Miss Chen Er would ride this horse to Pingkangfang for a walk, which would definitely attract the girls in the flower shop. Squeaking and screaming."
"It's endless, isn't it!" Xie Xun slapped the horse he was riding on the butt.
The horse was in pain and galloped away with Xu Zan.
Xu Zan screamed, and after circling most of the circle, he rode back, "Miss Chen Er, you have to make the decision for me. I only praised you a few words, but he retaliated against me like this. He is obviously dissatisfied with you." "
"You don't have to be as knowledgeable as him." Chen Anning took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it at him, "I'll reward you."
Xu Zan instinctively took it and when he saw it was a porcelain bottle, he was so frightened that he almost threw it out, "Chen, Chen Er..."
He was speaking for her, how could he repay kindness with enmity?
Chen Anning glanced at him and said, "Detox Pills, if you don't want them, just give them back to me."
"Yes, why don't you want it!" Upon hearing that it was a detoxification pill, Xu Zan quickly stuffed it into his arms. After stuffing it, he looked at Xie Xun proudly, patted the porcelain bottle hard, and said loudly, "Mine, no one is allowed to steal it from me!"
Xie Xun said 'ha', got on his horse and said, "Who cares?"
"This is what you said. Miss Chen Er also listened. Don't fight with me later!" Xu Zan yelled.
Xie Xun kicked his horse's ass hard, "That's a lot of nonsense!"
The horse was in pain and galloped away again with Xu Zan.
After Chen Anning looked at him with a half-smile, she chased after him.
Xie Xun followed unhurriedly.
There were eleven guards waiting at the gate.
After meeting them, everyone immediately set off, walked along Zhuque Street, passed Mingde Gate, drove on the official road for half an hour, turned down the trail, turned east and west, and finally arrived at Wuzhu Village after almost half an hour.
now.
The sunset is thick.
Xie Xun knew that forensic doctors did not like to appear in scenes at night. Because of the light, many important details would be ignored. So without saying much, he took Chen Anning directly to the woods where the boy disappeared.
The woods are about two miles away from Wuzhu Village.
Xie Xun rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the report.
After inspecting the scene, he specially arranged for the government officials to take turns guarding here.
Therefore, the site is relatively well preserved.
When the officials on duty gathered around to report to Xie Xun, Chen Anning's eyes fell on a small slope not far away.
The small slope is about two meters high and at an angle of seventy degrees.
The small slope is overgrown with weeds.
The weeds were covered with a coarse cloth about nine inches wide.
Chen Anning walked towards the coarse cloth.
Xie Xun also asked the government officials to retreat in time, stepped forward, opened the rough sermon and said: "This is the only trace left by the missing boy."
Looking at the skidding marks, Chen Anning stretched out his hand, roughly measured the length, and then measured the deformed shoe print, and said: "The shoe length is about seven inches and a half. Judging from the strength of the marks, it is similar to the weight of the missing boy." Pretty much the same.”
After getting up and searching both front and back, Chen Anning swept down the small slope and walked into the woods.
There are not many fallen leaves in the woods.
When you step on it, there will occasionally be a squeaking sound.
The woods are not big.
It only takes about ten minutes to walk around.
"The boy was missing here on his way to deliver food to his parents." Chen Anning stood in front of the foot slip marks and said facing the woods, "There are no signs of fighting or knocking over in the woods. There were no traces of his meals or even his footprints walking out of the woods. In other words, he disappeared out of thin air, right?"
Xie Xun stood side by side with her and said: "You can say that. But you also know that after the child disappears, the people in the village must first look for it themselves. If they can't find it, they will report it to the official."
He nodded his chin in the direction of Wuzhu Village and continued: "You saw it when you came here. The best place to hide people in this village is these woods. When the villagers are looking for people, no matter the order, they will definitely not miss these woods. Looking for people. When there are too many people, even if there are any traces, they will have been contaminated long ago.”
"It is recorded in the case report that there was a villager in the village who was about forty years old. He was working in the last forest on the day when the boy disappeared. When the boy passed by delivering food, the villagers not only saw him, but also talked to him." Chen Anning spoke slowly, "This villager in his forties, after your verification, not only has good eyesight, but also excellent hearing."
"The last forest is only seventy or eighty feet away from here. This distance is neither too far nor too close. If there is a fight or shouting here, he can definitely hear it."
Xu Zan rushed to speak: "Yes, we have done experiments. I followed the uncle and stood on the ground of his house, while Ah Xun arranged for people to fight and shout in the woods. The fight was covered by the woods and could not be seen clearly, but When you scream, you can actually hear it.”
"Besides, if he keeps paying attention here, he can also see people coming in and out of the woods."
"It's a pity that he didn't know that the boy would disappear, so he didn't pay attention to this place."
"What you said is very consistent with the situation at the scene. But in this case..." Chen Anning thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "There are two situations."
Xu Zan immediately asked: "What two situations?"
Chen Anning said quietly: "In the first case, he was killed here or taken away after being knocked unconscious; in the second case, he was killed elsewhere. What these two cases have in common is that they both It takes an acquaintance to commit the crime.”
Xie Xun looked at her, "Which emotion do you prefer?"
