Gong Shiba said, and after drinking some more water, he continued: "The boy went there to relieve himself. The forest over there is right next to the official road, but you just need to go deeper.
The young man was shy and wanted to go deeper to relieve himself. As a result, I was so frightened that I peed all over my pants.
After he regained his composure, he quickly went to the county government office to report the case.
Youqu Town belongs to Mr. Huazhou. It belongs to Manxi County in Huazhou. The county magistrate's name is Zhai Hengyang, and I heard he is a good man.
Manxi County is fifteen miles west of Youqu Town, very close. After the boy was frightened and stunned, he ran to the county with his crotch wet to report the case.
Zhai Hengyang brought people to investigate the case. At the end of the investigation, Wang Hongmin was taken in for questioning and then released.
In fact, before that, two years ago, Zhai Hengyang had arrested Wang Hongmin, and I heard it was also for a case of a girl being tortured. At that time, Wang Hongmin was also suspected of committing a major crime.
But half a year later, the county government said that they would release him because there was no evidence.
My lord, my subordinate inquired: The case two years ago also occurred in October.
In Duliu Village, Youqu Town, a 12-year-old girl who went to herd cattle disappeared.
Four years ago, at the end of October, a 6-year-old girl disappeared in Youqu Town. Three months later, he was found dead in a toilet in the west of the town.
I heard that she was the one who judged it based on her clothes or something.
In mid-October six years ago, the body of a girl about 10 years old was found in the river outside the town. He had been tortured, and his whole body was scratched with sharp blades.
There is no more going forward. Six years ago, in early October, it was the day Wang Hongmin returned from retirement.
According to what some people said, six years ago, after the first such case occurred, government officials came down to conduct a thorough investigation. At that time, he only said one sentence: 'The murderer has considerable anti-detection capabilities.'
Then the official left. The case was thus shelved and became a pending case.
There is another thing that is quite coincidental. Six years ago, Zhai Huanyang took up a post in Manxi County. In the same year, the governor of Huazhou was replaced.
The governor of Huazhou was also replaced. What was replaced was..."
"I know."
Di Ying interrupted the name Gong Shiba was about to say, and then continued: "This is just a coincidence of time. There are too many things that can happen within a year.
Have you found out where Wang Hongmin served as a soldier? And his family’s address and population? "
"have."
When Gong Shiba heard that his master asked about this man, he sat up straight and replied as if he was endorsing: "He was a soldier in Longyou Road, Bisha Dudufu, and Khotan Town. He has been a soldier for twenty years. He was a soldier, and he served as a scout for sixteen years. He retired because he was forty years old.
He got married at the age of seventeen and joined the army at the age of twenty. His parents are still alive at home, and his wife, Mrs. Zhao, was born in a farmer's family. He has three sons.
Now, the eldest son is twenty-two years old and the youngest son is fourteen years old.
The eldest son Wang Yi is engaged in business. Opened a grocery store in the county. Already married, with one son and one daughter;
The second son, at the age of eighteen, also joined the army and is still in the army today.
The younger son is enjoying his time at home, wearing colorful clothes. But even though I was idle, I didn't cause any trouble. I heard that he is a very filial and sensible boy.
Wang Hongmin lives in House No. 11 of Yixiang in the southwest part of Youqu Town. That area is an area where people who are half rich but not rich and half poor live. "
After Gong Shiba finished speaking, he looked at the Lord steadily, waiting for the Lord's next order.
But the adult in his family picked up the teacup again and was slowly sipping tea.
Gong Shiba lay down on the table and dozed off.
Ever since they started living with adults, they have all learned the same thing: they can sleep as soon as they can, and if they can't sleep, it's okay to spin around for days and nights.
Saying that there is no problem probably means he has developed this time-grabbing sleeping method.
This is how one usually sleeps on horseback.
When he heard Peng Tou'er's voice, Gong Shiba immediately woke up again. I feel energetic when I wake up.
He heard Mr. Peng say: "Actually, this case has been closed. I heard that people from the county government came yesterday and arrested an eighteen-year-old young man who was herding cattle.
The young man's name was Wei Quan, who had neither father nor mother. He came to Duliu Village, Youqu Town, to seek refuge with his aunt two years ago. His aunt didn't treat him well. She made him do a lot of things every day and never let him eat enough.
It is said that Wei Quan has confessed to the crime of murder and is currently being detained in the Fuya prison.
I went to the county and asked the government official about it, and found out that this was indeed the case.
The Yamen official also said that the file for Wei Quan's execution had been submitted to the Huazhou Prefecture Yamen.
I suspected that it was a result of a beating, so I asked the yamen officer in a circumstantial manner, and the yamen officer categorically denied this.
He said that their magistrate Zhai never did such a thing. I'm back.
Sir, what shall we do next? Should we continue to chase the criminal we are chasing? "
Di Ying heard the question and glanced at Peng Liang. Just as he was about to speak, Gong Shiba beat him to it.
Gong Shiba nodded and said: "Then we must be chasing the gangsters. The case is closed, and this is the territory of Huazhou. What else can we do besides chasing the gangsters?"
What he was thinking was: Your Excellency even let those "bandits" go in order to chase the gangsters. This case has been closed, so naturally he will let it go first.
After all: If you really want to take control of it, you have to go to the county magistrate in the other country's territory to overturn the case...
Not to mention how troublesome it is, people are still talking about whether they want to talk to him or not.
If the magistrate of Zhai County comes and says: It needs approval from the governor of Huazhou. Then they still have to rush to Huazhou City?
That's a long way to death.
After running back and forth, wasting time by overturning the case, who knows where those criminals have gone.
That criminal was the only clue to the case of the dozen or so couriers who died on his own territory. You can't just put down the cases on your own territory and start meddling with other people's affairs, right?
But before Gong Shiba could finish his "reasonable and well-founded" thinking, he heard the adults in his family say: "If you want to retry an old case, you must first find evidence. As is the old rule, go find out about the four people who died in the past six years." Where are the bodies of the dead girls buried? And their family members."
Gong Shiba: "...Sir, are you going to stop chasing the bad guys?"
Di Ying glanced at him, and the old god replied: "That guy can't run away."
Gong Shiba: "..."
Just burn his brain dry.
He will never handle cases alone with adults again. This brain... is of no use at all.
When he was usually with the guard brothers, he felt that he was relatively smart and had a sense of superiority. Unexpectedly, this alone sneaked up to the adults, only to find...
I may not be as smart as a pig...
