Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 312 The dead wife.

Yuan Ru didn't say the rest, because he didn't dare to say it, let alone believe it.

But even if he didn't say anything, everyone would understand that now that Mrs. Yuan's maid, Xiaomei, was killed in the creek, then Mrs. Yuan must be in trouble.

But where is Mrs. Yuan?

Was he killed in the creek like Xiaomei?

Bao Zheng asked the servants to continue salvaging in the creek to see if they could gain anything.

While the yamen servants were doing this, Hwarang inspected Xiaomei's body.

It was found that there was no sword wound on Xiaomei's body, and there was no sign of poisoning. There was only a pinch mark on her neck. It was obvious that she was strangled at the time, but whether she was strangled to death had to be verified separately.

Xiaomei's corpse had a flat lower abdomen, yellowish flesh, open mouth and eyes, loose hands, messy hair, no dripping from mouth, eyes, ears and nose, and clean nails. After seeing these, Hwarang got up and said to Bao Zheng : "Brother Bao, this Xiaomei was strangled to death and thrown into the river."

Hua Lang was sure, Bao Zheng had some doubts, and said: "How can we be sure that she was strangled to death and thrown into the river instead of being thrown into the river and drowned?"

Hua Lang smiled lightly, pointed at the corpse and said, "Brother Bao, please look, the deceased's lower abdomen is flat, which means that he did not drink much water, but if a person is drowned, his lower abdomen must be slightly swollen, and the dead's nails are very tight. It is clean, her hands are not clenched, it can be seen that the deceased did not struggle in the water, if it is a living person, how could she not struggle?"

After saying this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and in this way, they could deduce that there was a murderer here, and the murderer killed Xiaomei, and then what?Will he kill Madam Yuan?

The yamen servants are still fishing in the water. Because of the hot summer weather, they seem to be very comfortable in the water. Of course, they did not slack off because of this.

But they searched for several hours, but there was no clue. Hwarang felt that it would be impossible to wait like this, so he left a few yamen servants to salvage in the water, while others followed them to other places to find clues.

The suburbs of the city are very vast, and it is not easy to find someone. They searched from morning to night, but they couldn't find any clues about Mrs. Yuan, and when dusk fell, they were already exhausted, and I was also very hungry.

In the end, they really had no other choice, so they had to go back first to see if the yamen servants in the city had any clues about Mrs. Yuan.

When they returned to the county government office, they ate first. After the meal, the government officials who were searching the city rushed back, but they looked unhappy, and obviously they did not find any clues.

Everyone sat in the living room and looked at each other, but they couldn't tell why. At this moment, Fu Wei and Zhang Gonggong rushed over with a group of subordinates. Bao Zheng and others quickly saluted, and then invited them to go up Sit down. After Fu Wei sat down, he asked about today's case. Bao Zheng didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the truth. Murder case, how do you ask this officer to protect you?"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fu Wei resolutely, and replied: "My lord Fu's words are wrong. I, Bao Zheng, am worthy of the emperor of heaven and earth, and the people of Tianchang County. Now that a murder has happened, I just want to find the murderer. Is it possible?" Master Fu thinks that the occurrence of the murder has something to do with Bao Zheng being an official here?"

This remark left Fu Wei speechless, but Eunuch Zhang sat aside and snorted coldly: "Why didn't other counties have homicides, but your Tianchang County has homicides, isn't it because of you?"

Bao Zheng deliberately found fault with Zhang Gonggong, so he confronted him tit for tat: "Zhang Gonggong's words made Bao Zheng unable to understand, the world is so big, could it be the land of the king, and my Tianchang County is also the territory of the Song Dynasty. ready?"

Bao Zheng looked at Eunuch Zhang with more white eyes than black, making Eunuch Zhang speechless for a while, and Fu Wei, who was sitting by the side, had already seen Bao Zheng's eloquence, so he quickly persuaded him: "Okay, okay!" Well, no one can predict the occurrence of the murder, but now that we are here for assessment, Mr. Bao should solve the case as soon as possible. If we leave Mr. Bao and have not solved the case when we arrive in the capital, we will not be able to tell the emperor about it. "

After hearing this, Bao Zheng cupped his hands again and again, and said, "I will solve this case as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Master Fu and Eunuch Zhang."

After Fu Wei and Zhang Gonggong asked some more questions, they left the county office. After they left, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, which door do you think we should start from?"

Hwarang rested his chin in one hand and thought for a long time, and said after a long time: "If we start with Xiaomei's death, the clues are not enough, because no one saw how she was killed, and there are no clues left at the scene. , so I think it is the right way to find Mrs. Yuan first. If Mrs. Yuan is not dead, maybe she can provide us with the truth about Xiaomei's murder. If Mrs. Yuan is unfortunately killed, we have to analyze it later."

Now, it had to be like this, but where did they find Mrs. Yuan?

There is no way to find out, so I have to wait, or see if Yuan Ru thinks of any clues.

After such a night of silence, the next morning, as soon as Hua Lang and the others woke up, Gongsun Ce hurried over. After he rushed into the detective agency, he hurriedly said, "Madam Yuan's body has been found."

"Found it?" Hwarang was startled, the news came so suddenly.

"How did you find it?"

"Early this morning, a farmer came to report the crime, saying that his wolf dog kept barking and was hugging back and forth. The farmer felt suspicious, so he ran with the wolf dog, and finally found a wolf dog at Tong Xiucai's house in their village. The farmer came to report the corpse, and according to his account, Yuan Ru said it was her wife's appearance, so Master Bao followed Yuan Ru to Tong Xiucai's house, and I came to call you."

Upon hearing this, Hua Lang and the others didn't care about washing up, so they hurriedly followed Gongsun Ce to the scene of the murder.

It was a very beautiful small village, with running water passing by in front of the village, but the population was sparse, so the houses of one family were far away from the other. If it weren't for the dog's sharp nose, no one would have thought that there was a dog in his neighbor's house. corpse.

Thinking of dogs, Hwarang suddenly had a bold idea. In the world he lived in before, there were police dogs. It was very convenient for police dogs to find and arrest people. If he could train a few police dogs, he would find people later. There is no need to be so troublesome. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he should keep a few dogs.
