In early June a year ago, no boy of about ten years old was missing from any house near Ma's house.
Chang Jiu could only bring back Ma Linger's body first, and at the same time, he also did not forget to bring back Ma Linger's parents.
"Sir, the place where Ma Ling'er's body is buried is at a corner in the mountains. It is really remote and rarely visited by people.
The subordinates did not ask who else knew about that place. Even Ma Ling'er's parents were actually unaware.
It was Father Ma who found Ma Ling'er's body by accident while walking around randomly looking for a place far away from home.
The subordinates asked all the Ma family members to dig there all night last night. They dug out all the areas. Except for the boy's bones, only Ma Ling'er's bones were left. There shouldn't be any mistakes this time...right? "
If there is another mistake, Chang Jiu is ready to throw the Ma family into the water for a dip. He will come out when he remembers.
Di Ying went to examine Ma Ling'er's bones.
After the examination, he nodded to Chang Jiu and said, "That's right this time. There is a high probability that the owner of this skeleton is Ma Ling'er."
Chang Jiu huffed and sat down on the ground, kicked his feet back a few times, leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Di Ying then remembered that he had not let these brothers rest all day and night, and he had not even bothered to have a meal.
He then asked Nie Bo to arrange for the brothers to take turns while the rest would eat and sleep.
Hearing that he could finally sleep, no one thought about eating first and didn't bother to go back to the room. He went to Chang Jiu's side and lay down on the floor along the wall.
There are no sounds like snoring, farting, grinding teeth, burping, talking nonsense, etc. No matter how tired or sleepy you are, you will fall asleep peacefully.
This is a duty instinct of being a guard.
One of the instincts that has been specially trained.
Seeing that Di Ying was extremely distressed, she was ready to ask Nie Bo to send everyone to the room on the second floor.
Nie Bo shook his head and refused.
He said: "Sir, if they sleep like this, they will feel more at ease."
With that said, Nie Bo went to light the three charcoal pots in the lobby, adding more charcoal, and burning them vigorously.
Zhao San, who was on duty, went to the guest room to take out some quilts and cover them with the brothers.
Peng Liang went to cook some hot noodle soup.
You Ersan threw the wretched old man next to the trash can in the alley across the street.
Then go back to the inn to wash your hands and face, and eat noodles with the adults.
While eating noodles, Di Ying asked Ma Ling'er, who was nervous, about her father.
"Ma Linger was missing for three days, and her body was found and fished out by the river. The river is in the southwest of the town.
Your family lives in the southeast of the town, and the location where Ma Ling'er's body is buried is also in the mountains in the southwest of the town.
Ma Fu, can you tell me: How did your daughter Ma Ling'er, who was only ten years old, go to such a far away place on the day she disappeared? "
Father Ma was stunned by the question.
After the surprised expression stayed on his face for a few seconds, he shook his head and replied: "The common people don't know. That girl is restless. She always likes to run around every day and doesn't listen to anything. Even if I call you, I won’t listen.
The common people have to work, so how can they have time to keep an eye on her every day?
As for where to bury her... the common people heard that people who died as violently as her and at a young age had to be buried somewhere contrary to their home, and the farther away the better.
The common people carried her a long way and buried her there. When she died, the grassroots people were also very sad, after all, they had raised her so big. But the common people really don’t know anything about her. "
"Isn't it clear? Are you sure?"
Di Ying picked up a chopstick of noodles to dry and asked Ma's father again in a serious tone.
Intended to remind.
But Father Ma didn't hear it, and he still nodded vigorously and said: "The common people really don't know, sir, the common people didn't lie."
Di Ying looked away and ate the noodles with chopsticks.
After taking a few more mouthfuls of soup, he asked Ma Mu, who was huddled behind Ma Father, "Ms. Sun, don't you know either?"
Ma Mu Sun shrank there, shaking her head desperately.
Liu Liu looked at her fiercely and scolded: "When you ask a question, you must answer clearly!"
The horse mother was so frightened that she trembled, and then quickly replied: "My lord, the women of the people, the women of the people don't know, I don't know how that child Ling'er came to such a far place that day. Really, really do not know."
Di Ying nodded.
He waved his hands casually and said: "That's it. Since you don't know anything, then go to the torture device. I believe that if I don't let you suffer a little, I won't be able to hear the truth. "
After saying that, Di Ying looked at Zhai Hengyang, who was sitting on the ground not far from him, having been slapped and tied up, and his mouth was gagged.
The purpose of letting him sit is to make him feel pain and to allow him to clearly and clearly see the process of his master's trial. This is Nie Bo's bad taste.
Di Ying also let him.
He just asked Zhai Hengyang: "Are you familiar with this kind of case handling process?"
Zhai Hengyang: "..."
He muttered "Woo" and twisted his body twice. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a clear sound and could only stare at people with his eyes.
When Di Ying saw this, she kindly helped him speak out.
"Do you mean to ask me what kind of official I am?"
Seeing Zhai Hengyang nodding, Di Ying grinned at him and replied with three words: "You can't control it."
Zhai Hengyang: "..."
This damn inexplicable feeling of familiarity!
But who is this person? Not a bandit leader? Not the Mountain King? Or is the mountain king pretending to be an official to interrogate the people?
Are you full? I couldn't find any clues about Ma Ling'er's case, so how could this mountain king do it?
"By the way, I want to ask you, is this the way you try the case? Come up and go to court first, and then try it after the case is over?"
The confused Zhai Hengyang was getting more and more confused as he thought about it, when he heard the question from the "King of the Mountain".
Zhai Hengyang shook his head vigorously.
He's not, he's not. He is an official who is very close to the people, and he is a good official who is very willing to do his best for the people. He will not randomly attack the family members of the suffering master.
But after shaking his head a few times, he stopped again.
He had thought: If he really couldn't answer the question, he, he would indeed do this...
Suddenly I felt a little ashamed. Inexplicable shame.
However, the horse father and horse mother only had a strong sense of fear at this time. When he heard that he was going to be executed, he was so horrified that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Di Ying ate noodles, listened to their kowtows, and reminded her again calmly: "Aren't you going to tell the truth? The only one who can save you is you."
