With a gentle smile, Xu Taiping raised his hands and saluted: "Liu Sanbian, I have met my younger siblings."
At the same time, carefully observe the woman in front of you.
very beautiful.
She has an oval face, big eyes, and a very playful look. She doesn't look like a widow, but more like a lively high school girl.
Wearing a light pink dress, she is bright and charming.
Ji Xiaoshan came out suspiciously, knelt down and saluted. Then she found the steel knife in her hand and hurriedly threw it away and saluted again: "Young Master Liu, you are so polite. Mr. Liu, are you really from Shenjing?"
"right."
"Do you know anyone in the government?"
"I know a few."
"Then can you help me?"
"Brothers and sisters, that's why I'm here. I will find out the real culprit and avenge Brother Yu."
"Thank you Mr. Liu."
But Xu Taiping smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, don't be in a hurry to thank me. I won't listen to one-sided words."
Ji Xiaoshan nodded without thinking: "Young Master, please be more careful."
Then he added: "Young master, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Xu Taiping nodded.
At this time, the maid whispered: "Young mistress, can you please come in and serve tea?"
Ji Xiaoshan nodded quickly: "Master, please come in."
The yard is huge.
Going forward and backward, there are corridors one after another, courtyards one after another, and houses lined up in rows, like a big maze.
But at this moment, the huge courtyard was quiet and there were no lights, except for the little maid holding a lantern in her hand.
After walking a long way, we reached the main hall in the middle.
The little maid was busy hanging up lanterns, lighting candles, boiling water and making tea.
Ji Xiaoshan accompanied her carefully: "Young master, please forgive me, at home..."
Xu Taiping smiled and asked, "Have the funeral arrangements been settled?"
"Well, it's all done."
"No one comes to harass you, right?"
"Not yet, but in the future..."
"What did the government say?"
"The county magistrate said that he has asked Xu Shenzhen from the county to come out to investigate. The slave family will not be allowed to leave Lianshou County until the murderer is found."
Xu Taiping sneered secretly.
It was a long time ago that the county magistrate Qiao Lichen asked for help from the county.
But the case was put on hold for a long time in Xia Xueyi's hands, and it was not revealed until today.
It can be seen that Xia Xueyi’s main purpose was not to investigate the case, but to send me to Lianshou County.
Either they want to harm me in Lianshou County.
Or they just want to transfer me away from Yingyin City.
Or even both.
so.
This case needs to be investigated.
We should also carefully investigate Xia Xueyi's motives, and even investigate the movements of Xuan Chiwei and "Sir".
Thinking like this, he deliberately asked: "Is it Xu Taiping and Xu Shenquan?"
Ji Xiaoshan nodded heavily: "Yes, this is the arrester Xu. He used to work in Jianyang County. He solved several major cases as soon as he became the arrester. He solved the cases like a god, so he was known as the arrester. Last month he went to Yingyin. When he served in the county, he even destroyed Qiyun Village to eliminate a harm to the people of the county, and the name of the divine hunter spread throughout the county."
Xu Taiping smiled gently: "It's easy to say it's him."
"ah?"
"Xu Taiping is another friend I met in Yingyin County."
"This, this, this is great."
"So my brothers and sisters can rest assured that this matter will be taken care of by me. When Xu Taiping arrives, I will communicate with him personally and investigate the case together to try to let brother Yu rest in peace as soon as possible."
"Thank you Mr. Liu."
Xu Taiping smiled calmly: "Then let's talk about the specific process. The more detailed the better."
"Yes, sir."
Ji Xiaoshan starts from the engagement.
How to meet Yu Zecheng, how to get married, and then everything that happened on the big day and the day of the crime.
After hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned secretly.
He talked a lot, but nothing was useful and it didn't help the case at all.
On the night of the incident, after drinking Hexin wine, she covered her head and waited for Yu Zecheng in the bridal chamber. However, she could not wait for a long time and did not dare to go out to look for him privately. Later, she fell asleep in a daze and woke up. It was found that all the Yu family members had died unexpectedly, including some guests staying overnight.
And she didn't know anything, she didn't smell the blood, and she didn't hear the screams.
Xu Taiping thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile on his face: "Brother and sister, why did you identify the county captain Ren Yude as the murderer?"
"because……"
Ji Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Because Ren Yude also likes me and has been pursuing me crazily. If I didn't agree, he threatened that it would be fine if I didn't marry. He would kill the whole family of whoever I married. "
"When did you say that?"
"Two years ago, he said it after he went to my house to propose marriage and was rejected by me. He said it again on the day I got engaged to Yu Zecheng."
"The Yu family is not an ordinary family in Lianshou County. Does Ren Yude have the courage and ability?"
Ji Xiaoshan thought for a while and whispered: "I suspect that he has colluded with the water monster in Lianshui."
"Suspect?"
"He is a county lieutenant and deals with those water monsters every day. Mr. Liu, you are from Shenjing. You may not know what is so special about Lianshou County. In Lianshou County, there are monsters everywhere. They take the form of human beings and live there. When doing business with people in the city, the county captain and two thousand county soldiers are responsible for supervising these monsters. If there is one person in Lianshou County who has the best relationship with monsters, it must be him."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he was even more surprised.
This Lianshou County is really different.
In a small county, there are two thousand county soldiers, and their main duty is not to kill monsters, but to supervise monsters. The county captain turns out to be the person who has the best relationship with monsters.
Just outrageous.
However, considering what the master said about the dragon girl, it is not unacceptable.
Xu Taiping asked again: "Did you see with your own eyes the bodies of Brother Yu and his clan members?"
Ji Xiaoshan shuddered and nodded with fear: "I saw it."
"What does the wound look like?"
"Almost all penetrating injuries."
"Bow and arrow? Or sword, spear or something else?"
"It doesn't look like anything, but the county magistrate said it looks more like water."
"water?"
"Water arrows and other magic skills, so they said I colluded with the Lianhe water demon to commit crimes."
When Xu Taiping heard this, he also felt troubled.
If the murderer is really a monster, then this case will be really difficult to solve.
Because there is no other way to solve the problem except finding the monster that committed the crime in the first place.
But how to find the water monster?
The water demon dives into the water and can swim from Yingzhou to the East China Sea in one breath.
Even if he didn't wander away and stayed in Lianhe, there would be no way to find him.
You can't go down to the river and question them one by one, right?
It would be great fun if the dragon girl was questioned.
Xu Taiping asked for some more details, and finally asked: "Where are your parents?"
"He died three years ago and has been living alone for the past three years."
"Um?"
"Killed by a monster," Ji Xiaoshan said with a sad look on her face: "Everyone in Lianshou County knows about this matter. The little girl also reported it to the official, but she could only ignore it when faced with the monster."
"What do your parents do?"
"I opened a shop selling mountain products."
Um?
Xu Taiping's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something was wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Something was wrong with Ji Xiaoshan from beginning to end.
Including this marriage.
Ji Xiaoshan's parents were both dead and she only opened a mountain goods shop during her lifetime, so she could only be considered a well-off family.
But what about Yu Zecheng?
This is a wealthy man in Lianshou County, not the richest man but also the top three.
Although Ji Xiaoshan is beautiful, she is definitely not worthy of the Yu family. In this age where well-matched families are concerned, it is almost impossible for Yu Zecheng to marry Ji Xiaoshan as his main wife.
Love?
However, the file makes it very clear that Yu Zecheng has been fond of beautiful women since he was a child, and he behaves very domineeringly. He is like a bully in Lianshou County. Even if he falls in love with Ji Xiaoshan, he will only rob her or secretly steal her instead of going to a lot of trouble to marry her home. Be a real wife.
Not to mention that there was Ren Yude, a county captain, who also wanted to marry Ji Xiaoshan.
