Chapter 175 The Octopus Case
At this time, Huan Zhen and Yuan Yanshu rode their horses to the road in front of the courtyard, drank their horses and stopped.They each carried two black fish and blue fish more than two feet long in their hands. Their hair tied casually hung from their backs to their waists. The wet hair was dripping water all the way, and with the loess of galloping horseshoes, it was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see.

Wang Yun ran out and said pleasantly, "Wow, what a big fish. Brothers Huan and Yuan are really capable!"

Huan Zhen smiled: "You calculate the time, bring an urn to hold the cooked fish, a bigger urn."

"Yes. Thank you, brothers."

Only the Ting Pao Chef has extra stoves and boilers. If a piece of fish is left directly to the Wang family, the Wang family will not be able to eat enough, and will always occupy the stove, unable to cook porridge or steam cakes.

Knowing that there is fish to eat, Jia Yu sighed that today is really a good thing!The family was worried about Ah He, so they asked Wang Erlang to go to the kitchen with the pottery urn and Hutou.For the fish meat, Jia Yu steamed more cakes, and the fish bones can be used to make cake soup again, and it will be another delicious meal.

It's a pity... the uncle and nephew ran back holding the empty urn with sallow complexions, as if they were kicked out later.

Knowing that something must have happened, Wang Weng immediately asked, "Quickly, what's the matter?"

Anon's calves are short, and he can only catch up with his second uncle by running two steps, and he is so tired that he is panting.

Wang Erlang avoided the juniors in the family, and said in a trembling voice: "Something has happened! When Chief Huanting filled the fish for our family, a finger fell out of the head of the fish. Three pots of fish were boiled, and all of them were poured. The fish is Those caught from the wild mountains and rivers are returned to the Linshui Pavilion, and the head of the Huan Pavilion has already asked Cheng Qiu to wrap and wrap the finger to the Linshui Pavilion."

In an instant, Wang Weng's hairs sprouted.

Ah Yun shook the elder father's sleeve, waited for the elder father to lower his body, and added with his ear: "Brother Huan cooked the fish himself, tasted a few mouthfuls of the soup, spit out a scale, found the finger and retrieved the scale, it doesn't look like it at first sight Fish scales."

nail?Wang Weng imagined that scene, and his face became sallow.

Besides, in the kitchen, Huan Zhen rinsed his mouth with salt water, and sat cross-legged between the two stoves as if sulking.

Anyone who has eaten the nails of a dead person will feel uncomfortable, but he sat still, not angry, but thinking carefully about the situation when he caught these four fish.

The new government decree of the county government stipulates that all township soldiers who have won the title of "brave man" within three years must be familiar with water and have the courage to swim.And starting from next year's Township Bing Dawu, the "Swimming Crossing" assessment item will be added.

Therefore, Huan Zhen went to Yeshanhe to practice swimming when he was free.Uncle Yuan Yan also went with him today, what a coincidence, groups of fish were swimming around where they swam, and it was embarrassing not to catch them.

The fingers and nails were stuck in the heads of the two fishes, so they were not found.There is only the top part of the finger, and it is difficult to tell which finger it is due to rot.

Of course, in this murder case, this is not important.

The important thing is that the deceased who was eaten by the fish was probably a villager in Jiashe Village who had just died.

Huan Zhen guessed right. The next afternoon, Jiashe Village reported the missing persons. The missing person was a tenant farmer of Jia’s landlord’s family. He was unnamed and in his thirties. .Because he stole grain, he was called "Rat Dalang" by other tenant farmers.

Landlord Jia's house is about to come in a storm, Taigong Jia is seriously ill and can't last for a few days.The head of the house, Sun Jiafeng, and the second house were fighting for the position of patriarch, and the tenants under each house had already fought twice.

Shu Dalang is a tenant farmer of the long house. Does this matter have anything to do with the owner of the long house?
It took another three days before the body was salvaged.The homicide case that Ren Suzhi didn't want to investigate the most was a drowning case. On the one hand, it was hard to find clues, and he couldn't eat for days after looking at the corpse.

Huan Zhen went swimming every day, and "just happened" to be met by Ren Suzhi, who "just happened" to help investigate the case.

The first difficulty of the case: Although Shu Dalang has been missing, no tenant has dared to identify the body, and it is impossible to confirm that the dead and the missing are the same person.On Shu Dalang's household registration registered in the township, no personal characteristics are listed except for his dark skin.

The second difficulty: Except for stealing grain twice, Shu Dalang has never had any grudges with others.Landlord Jia's family didn't punish him, so why should the other tenants meddle in their own business?

Since he was a tenant in Jia Feng's house, Ren Suzhi ordered the pavilion officials to call Jia Feng to identify him. Mr. Jia Dalang vomited so faintly after just one glance, he collapsed on the ground and couldn't pull himself up.

Oh, what should I do?
Ren Suzhi squatted on the pebble beach worrying, if he couldn't confirm that it was Shu Dalang who died, then it would become two unsolved cases.He sighed again, and said, "What we can do now is to ask the pavilion officials to ask the tenants one by one to determine when Shu Dalang disappeared."

Huan Zhen: "The time of death of the drowned person cannot be confirmed, and it is still impossible to contact Shu Dalang."

Ren Suzhi sighed heavily again: The corpses are all soaked like that, the limbs and feet bitten by fish are all mutilated, and the face is also missing, how to confirm the identity?Dream!
Huan Zhen came up with an idea while thinking: "When the pavilion officials are looking for witnesses, they must find a way to avoid the house of the tenant. Anyone who tells what food Shu Dalang ate before his disappearance will be rewarded. Also, the recent passage How close is Shu Dalang and the master’s house? When did Jia Feng’s house confirm that the tenant was missing? In the past, there were tenants who were lazy. How did Jia’s house deal with it? Usually, no one can be found for a few days to report the case? Anyone who can provide clues will be secretly rewarded."

"It's a good way." Ren Suzhi regained his spirit.Because the abdomen of the corpse was not eaten by fish!However, the meaning of Huan Zhen's words is obviously... He squatted and moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "Do you doubt Jia's family? Or do you only doubt Jia Feng?"

"Jia Feng."

"reason?"

"Since Jia Feng was grounded, the long house lost. In this case, manpower, money and food, all aspects must be inferior to the past. Jia Feng, good-looking, stingy, has been suppressed for a long time, the more unsatisfactory his life, the more generous he is. In this case, his tenant farmers are not working in the fields, how can he endure a day and a night before reporting the crime?"

"Is Jia Feng stingy? He often delivers food to Linshui Pavilion... Tsk, I'll confiscate everything!"

"So he has gained a good reputation and has nothing to lose."

Ren Suzhi's eyes slowly widened, turning into bull's eyes: "I was fooled?"

Huan Zhen shook his head: "Ting Zhang Ren is really kind, and he was tricked by that kind of scumbag for a while."

This topic cannot be discussed anymore, being fooled is being fooled.Ren Suzhi's legs went numb from squatting, and he came back to the corpse: "Let's break the abdomen."

The rations of Jia's tenant farmers are fixed, what if there are grains left in the corpse?This is also a clue to identify the identity of the deceased.

Both of them were covered with face scarves, but the protection of a layer of face scarves is not enough to break the abdomen.To be on the safe side, after covering the face scarf again, Ren Suzhi brought the pavilion official's hat, put it on with Huan Zhen, and lowered the edge of the hat, so that if there was any splash on the corpse, at least the splash would not reach the eyes and forehead on the face scarf .

All the onlookers dispersed.

Wang Sanlang and his son were among them.They were chased away, and when they were far away, Wang San stopped to look around again. Wang Zhu called him four times, and he said "oh", and taught him a lesson: "See, stealing will be rewarded. No matter stealing from other houses, Or steal it from your own house."

"I didn't steal. I don't know how that money was under my mat!"

Wang San scoffed coldly.

Wang Zhu was so humiliated that he couldn't speak, and she shed tears, and the distance between him and his father became farther and farther.A few days ago, my father lost his money and looked around anxiously, but finally found a coin under the bed mat in his house.How did he know where the money came from?The east wing room where he slept hadn't changed the bed mat for a long time, maybe it was hidden by his mother before.

But my father didn't believe it, and the father and son didn't talk much because of this matter.

Wang Zhu looked back again, and suddenly thought, if one day he doesn't want to live, he should return to the river.

Huan Zhen picked on the rocky beach, picked out a sharp stone from the mud, then wrapped his hands twice with cloth, and Ren Suzhi did the same.

The two confirmed to each other that there was no exposed skin, and they lifted the cloth on the corpse, just a little, to expose the abdomen, and Huan Zhen made the move.

After breaking open, it was Huan Zhen who searched for it.

This smell!Ren Suzhi's face turned yellow quickly, and he couldn't bear it any longer, and vomited bitter water from the side of his head.When he turned his head back, the nausea disappeared in an instant!

Because Huan Zhen squeezed out a copper coin from the internal organs of the deceased!
