At night, a man came to find him. It was the man sent by the county governor to investigate the case. His name was Yi Wu. Ye Xing didn't recognize him, but the man knew that Ye Xing was the disciple of the county governor, so he should be Li Xuantong's trusted subordinate. Down.
Ye Xing introduced the investigation process to Yi Wu, and speculated that it was not an ordinary murder case.
Yi Wu asked, "Commander Ye, why do you think this is not an ordinary murder case? Is there another reason?"
Ye Xing said, "Because there was no property damage in the deceased's home, and the murderer and the deceased's family members were all acquainted, and it was not for money or sex, it would be very strange. What's even more strange is that the murderer and the deceased seemed to have no contact with each other on weekdays. , because no neighbor had ever seen the two of them interacting. And the murderer died halfway. Whether it was suicide or being poisoned halfway, this was not even a simple homicide."
Yi Wu said, "Can't it be a love killing?"
"The deceased woman was making food, which shows that she recognized the murderer. However, the murderer did not interact with the family on weekdays, but was familiar with her. So there is only one possibility, that is, she did not want people to know that they were familiar with each other. You can learn from their actions industry, and background checks!”
"It's a very strange behavior for the murderer to still stay at the scene. There must be something still at the scene that he wants to get, or he wants to know the process of the government's investigation. This person is either a pervert or wants to hide something, but he rewinds When the crime occurred, the officials had already arrived, so it was inconvenient for him to enter the scene again.”
Yi Wu nodded, thanked Ye Xing for his help, then said goodbye and left.
Ye Xing sat upright and practiced all night, and stopped asking about the affairs of the special training team. If he had to help himself in the town, then these people would be of no use.
Ye Xing and Ye Qingyan got up early the next morning. The team did not stay at the inn, but just found an open space in the town. Everyone warmed up and slept together for the night.
Ye Xing called the 15 captains over and gave each one a piece of paper. On it was written exactly how to change breathing while walking. He asked them to learn it themselves and then teach it to everyone else. Everyone must learn it before arriving at the destination. , it is the captain’s responsibility if someone fails to learn.
Leaf If one person is missing, you will be fired! If you are late, you will be replaced!"
The captains responded: "Yes!" and ran out quickly.
Ye Xing ignored them and told them to leave quickly and arrive at the destination within the specified time. He and Ye Qingyan led the horses and set off first.
This time, Ye Xing ignored the situation of other teams and started practicing his footwork. Today's goal is to reach Qingyun Town, 100 miles away. This is the goal that Ye Xing asked Ye Qingyan to achieve.
Ye Xing found that the road was mostly along the bank of the Xijiang River. The road was relatively wide. Although there were high mountains and dense forests beside the road, it was not particularly steep.
There are many beasts in the mountains and forests on the road, but they are not too powerful and dangerous, and they should not be very dangerous.
We walked all the way, rarely resting in between. We just ate dry food and water, and kept walking. In the evening, there were no more pedestrians on the road, and we finally reached the grove, which was only 10 miles away from Qingyun Town. , passing through this several-mile mountain road and groves is the town.
Ye Qingyan was even more exhausted, panting like an ox, his shirt soaked with sweat, and his eyes turned white, but Ye Xing was still extremely relaxed.
As soon as he entered the grove, Ye Xing felt something was wrong. There were no insects or birds chirping, and there was something strange in the complete silence.
Sure enough, after entering the depths of the woods, six people jumped out, all holding long wooden sticks, and surrounded the two and four horses.
Ye Xing already had the flying knife in his hand and didn't say a word, just sneered.
Ye Qingyan froze in panic. Of course, this was also a lie. Ye Qingyan was a third-level martial artist who had been rigorously trained for several months.
One of the tall, bearded men raised his stick and said to Ye Xing, "We are just asking for money and don't want to hurt you. You put down everything now and go back."
Ye Xing looked at Ye Qingyan, nodded, suddenly pulled out his dagger, and knocked away the big man's long stick. The dagger was already on his neck, and Ye Qingyan was already on the other man's neck.
There was absolutely no preparation for this sudden change, so all six people were restrained.
Ye Xing said calmly, "Tell me what is going on? Don't tell lies, otherwise my knife will not recognize you!"
The big man said fearfully, "Heroes, show mercy. We are not bad people. We are just desperate and want to make some trouble and go home. We really haven't done anything harmful to nature."
Ye Xing said, "Just now you told us to put down our things and leave. You didn't want to kill us, so I let you go. If not, you would have fallen. Tell me what happened."
The big man said quickly, "Yes, yes! We are good citizens and we dare not do such harming things! I say what I say."
It turned out that they were a group of traveling merchants, but they were robbed in the woods yesterday evening, and all their belongings were stolen. They hid deep in the woods for a whole day, and they finally broke free.
A group of 6 people are now penniless and hungry. They want to get a little money to buy some food in the town ahead. It is best to go home with a little money. When they saw Ye Xing and two people coming over just now, they moved. thought.
Ye Xing saw that they were all wearing only thin robes, their faces and hands were all red and white, they were obviously bitten by insects, and all they were holding were sticks made of branches. It seemed that they were not telling lies.
Ye Qingyan took out some dry food and a kettle and let them eat. They were really hungry and were not polite at all. They just picked it up and ate. Their eagerness for food had made them forget the proper etiquette.
Ye Xing watched them devouring their food and waited for a while before asking, "There are many people passing by on this road. Why don't you ask for help?"
The man said, "We have been tied up in the deep forest far away from here. We don't know what to do with us. We just broke free and ran away. Not long after we ran here, we ran into you."
Ye Xing said, "So, the gangster's nest is not far from here? How many people are there?"
The man said, "I don't know. We were just taken to the dense forest ahead and tied to trees. We don't know where their lair is. It was 10 masked men who robbed us."
Ye Xing asked them to follow and go to the town first. When they arrived in the town, it was completely dark. Ye Xing stayed at an inn and opened a room for the six people. He also gave them 10 taels of silver and let them go on their own. Solve the problem of eating.
The six people went out with great gratitude. Ye Xing and Ye Qingyan also ate and rested.
The next day, Ye Xing and Dahan went to the town government to report the crime, only to learn that there had been countless such robberies. Since there were no casualties and the culprits could not be found, it remained an unsolved case.
The earliest report of the crime was decades ago, but because the crimes occurred irregularly and occurred in various places nearby, mostly at night, and there were no killings, the whereabouts of the culprits were not known.
Ye Xing took out the badge of the commander of the city guard army, and the mayor hurriedly entertained him. Ye Xing just carefully checked the backlog of cases over the years.
He found that the robbers were all small businessmen, all at night, in remote places, and no one was killed. In other words, those who reported the crime were not harmed, and they were all masked gangsters.
Ye Xing rode back to the woods and found the place where the six people were tied, but found nothing.
When he returned to the town and talked about this matter with Ye Qingyan, Ye Qingyan said, "Such a thing can only be done by civilians. They don't kill people and only rob small businessmen. They can't be real gangsters."
Ye Xing nodded. The simple reason is that the public security in Qingyun Town is not good, and the official reputation of the town government is also very bad.
It is said that the mountain villages near Qingyun Town are all remote places, with high mountains and dense forests, and very small populations. Most of the mountain people are uncivilized people. Qingyun Town is only more than 200 miles away from Donghai City. In fact, it is already extremely remote. A backward and uncivilized land.
And the town government has strict tax collection, and the mountain people have nowhere to complain, so the place is lifeless and depressed.
"It's possible that someone was killed and the crime was not reported at all! There may be unknown reasons for this. Just imagine why no one paid attention to this for decades. The case was not solved. It was because they were never investigated!", Ye Star said.
Therefore, these robberies can only be ignored. If there are no serious murders, no one will probably take them seriously.
In fact, even if there is a serious murder case, the guards in Qingyun Town are not capable of handling the case, and there will be no results.
Ye Xing had no interest in investigating the case and had no intention of doing anything like Bao Qingtian, so he stopped there.
Presumably it was done by the civilians nearby. Because they were too poor and made a living by robbing, and they didn't kill anyone, they could only think of themselves as unlucky.
