Chapter 12 Dawn

Yao Shu understood, Zhuer was a loyal servant. The ancients regarded honor and integrity as extremely important. If a woman who had not yet left the court had her naked body exposed, she would definitely be gossiped about in the future, so she would rather be beaten than speak out.

After getting the useful information, Fu Xiujin immediately took the two of them back to meet Fan Zhongliang without stopping. Fan Zhongliang did not disappoint everyone. He also asked for important clues from everyone in the Shantang.

"Niu Dagui is from Handan County. When Liu Yu quarreled, he said he wanted to go back to Niu Dagui's hometown. Then he disappeared inexplicably, so Aunt Chen reported it to the government. Within two days, Niu Dagui said he had found it, and he took the luggage with him that night. Dongtou Village Pier in the north of the city. They are sure it is Dongtou Village Pier. They said that because of the flood season that day, other piers have been closed. Only Dongtou Village Pier has private boats willing to carry passengers. "

Now the clue pointed directly at Niu Dagui. When they thought that Chen Suqing might still be alive, no one in the group complained about the hard work and immediately set off to the dock to collect evidence.

Huangtian paid off, and God probably wanted to give Chen Suqing a chance. They got a definite answer from an old boatman in less than half an hour at the dock.

"Three years ago, it was the ninth day of May. I remember it clearly. The flood season came suddenly that day, and the government shut down all docks and ships. I had to make money to support my family, so I had to sneak out to smuggle ships. You said you went to Han County in the middle of the night. There is indeed such a person. Because he said at that time that his mother-in-law was in poor health and had to rush back to the countryside. I saw that his mother-in-law was lame with one left foot and he had been carrying it on his back. He was very anxious, so I immediately helped him Went to Han County."

The old boatman was still vividly describing his heroic performance in rowing that night, so Fu Xiujin took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Send us to Han County."

Yao Shu quickly followed the three men to Han County...

The first thing to do when arriving in Han County is to go to the government office.

When Prince Su arrived, the prefect quickly ordered people to assist in the investigation, fearing that if he was too late, he would lose the qualification to flatter him.

However, just after half an hour of greetings in the government office, a government servant immediately ran in, knelt down with a plop and began to report.

"Returning to the prince, I have conducted an investigation and found that there is indeed a man named Niu Dagui in Niujia Village, but he has not come back and there is no one at home."

This is difficult to deal with. People came to Han County, but deliberately concealed their identity and did not go home. Where did they go and where could they go?

"After Niu Dagui got the ransom, he will definitely not live in a dilapidated house anymore. Chen Suqing, who is also carrying Pojiao, shouldn't be too difficult to find. It's just that the area of ​​​​Han County is not small. If there is too much movement to attract his attention, I'm afraid He sneaked away."

Fan Zhongliang agreed with Yao Shu's statement. Now he could not search blatantly, he could only search secretly.

"The cut section of the severed left foot was very smooth and the knife was very powerful. Did Niu Dagui have other professions before becoming a cook?" Yao Shu returned her thoughts to the corpse itself. She was not good at the scene, but she was a corpse whisperer. There will be answers.

"Butcher! An old man in Shantang mentioned it. When Niu Dagui was chatting with him, he mentioned that he was a butcher when he was young, and later he learned to be a cook after having a master."

Yao Shu and Fan Zhongliang's answers undoubtedly gave a new scope. Fu Xiujin immediately asked people to go to the villages near the suburbs to pay attention to whether there was anyone living with Pojiao's wife.

"Why do you think it's the suburbs?"

Yao Shu asked directly, and Fu Xiujin looked at her as if she were a fool. "It is easy to encounter acquaintances who will be found out if you change your name in your hometown. It is safer in the sparsely populated suburbs. In addition, he has obtained the ransom, and the squandering in the city is too conspicuous. In the suburbs, It is sparsely populated and the roads are difficult to travel, so few people go there, but many restaurants and teahouses like to collect fresh prey killed and sold by butchers, and they can also barter, so that the money can be spent with peace of mind."

The scope has been reduced to this, and the government office has given full assistance, and the news was brought back within an hour.
