Da Song Private Investigator

After Bao Zheng gave the order, he looked at Hua Lang and asked, "What shall we investigate next?"

Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said: "Go and meet Bai Laoba, his seventh brother died, and he didn't come to guard the spirit, how strange!"

When Hwarang said this, Bao Zheng and the others noticed something strange.

Bai Laoba's home is not comparable to Bai Qiye's home, but it's not much different, and it can be counted in the village. After Bao Zheng and others notified their names, they were immediately led into the living room by the servants of Bai Laoba's family. As soon as he sat down in the living room, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s hurried over. He looked thin, but his eyes were abnormally big. He entered the living room and quickly saluted Bao Zheng and others, then got up and asked, "I don't know Mr. Bao?" Why did you come to my small family?"

Bao Zheng didn't beat around the bush, and said, "You should already know about Bai Qiye's murder, right?"

Bai Laoba nodded again and again: "Understood, the servants from the mansion came to tell me just now."

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and asked, "Since you know Bai Qiye is dead, why don't you go see him for the last time?"

"This..." Bai Laoba hesitated for a while, and said after a long time: "Lord Bao doesn't know that Brother Seven and I are not blood brothers, but he is my cousin. I'm divided. At that time, our two families had some conflicts, so we haven't been in touch for a long time. I was also very surprised that he suddenly fell into the well and died. It's just because the previous misunderstanding has not been resolved, so I won't go to their house easily. .”

After listening to Bai Laoba's words, Hualang, Bao Zheng and others understood what was going on, but after understanding, they couldn't rule out Bai Laoba's suspicion, so Bao Zheng looked at Bai Laoba and asked: "This Bai Qiye After you die, are you going to run for the village chief?"

Bai Laoba's face changed slightly, and then he suddenly smiled: "Where did Master Bao hear the rumors from?"

"Don't worry about what you heard from there, just say yes or no!"

Bai Laoba smiled a little embarrassedly, then nodded and said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Bao, after hearing that Brother Qi died, I was indeed trying to find a way to become the village head. We are a small village here, and the appointment of the village head is very important. Feel free, as long as a few elders in the village agree, so after Seventh Brother died, I immediately sent gifts to those elders, but Mr. Bao, although I have the heart to be the village head, I did not kill anyone. This is the conscience of heaven and earth."

Seeing that Bai Laoba said so frankly, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang hesitated for a while, did he say all these words to win their trust?

At this time, Bao Zheng was silent for a moment, and said: "Although I know it's not easy for you to provide the alibi of the night Bai Qiye was killed, but if you can provide it, it is naturally the best, do you have it? "

Bai Laoba shook his head in embarrassment: "It was so late at that time, I was already asleep, and I really couldn't provide an alibi."

"Then who do you think is likely to kill Bai Qiye?" Bao Zheng was very helpless, so he had to ask such a question to try.

Bai Laoba thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, Brother Seven is very domineering in our place because he is the head of the village. He has offended many people, so I think there are quite a few people who might kill him. I just want to say As for who it is, I can't tell."

Bao Zheng had nothing to ask, so he was about to leave, but at this moment, Hua Lang suddenly asked, "Just now you said that you had conflicts with Bai Qiye's clan when you separated, what happened?"

When Hualang asked this question, Bai Laoba quickly defended: "Young man, that happened more than ten years ago, don't you think that because of that incident, I will kill Brother Qi? You are wronged." Ah, there is no such thing!"

The corner of Hwarang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "You don't have to rush to defend yourself, I don't suspect that you killed someone because of that incident, I'm just curious to know, just tell me."

Hearing what Hualang said, Bai Laoba calmed down a lot, and then said: "It was like this at the time, Grandpa loved Seventh Brother's father very much, so he left most of the family property to Seventh Brother and his family, and gave it to me. My father and my uncles kept very little, because of this incident, the elders of the family got into a frenzy, and in the end they didn't have any contact with Brother Seven's family."

"So your family was very small at that time?"

Bai Laoba nodded: "That's right, it's so pitiful. If it weren't for my father's good management skills, my family wouldn't be able to grow to the size it is now!"

Hwarang took a look around Bai Laoba's house, although it was not as big as Bai Qiye's mansion, it was quite nice.

After reading it, Hwarang left without asking any more questions.

After leaving Bai Laoba's house, they immediately rushed to Sun Ti's residence. It was a courtyard surrounded only by fences. Rustle.

Seeing these bamboos, Hwarang couldn't help but think of what the great writer Su Shi once said, that he would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. Sun Ti must be an elegant and simple person who planted so many bamboos at home.

If he was such a person, wouldn't he have the intention to compete for the position of village chief?

Filled with curiosity, Hwarang and the others knocked on the door of Sun Ti's house. After a while, a middle-aged man in his 40s came out. , looked at the crowd and asked: "I don't know who these people are, why are you here looking for me?"

When Bao Zheng and the others announced their names, Sun Ti was startled and led them to talk in the inner hall again and again.

Everyone sat down in the living room, Sun Ti asked: "Master Bao came to me, but because of Bai Qiye's killing?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "Master Sun must have heard about this incident!" Bao Zheng was still very polite to scholars, calling Sun Ti Master Sun.

Sun Ti nodded: "There were villagers who passed by my door before, and they talked about it, and I understood it somewhat, but I don't know who would kill Bai Qiye!"

This is exactly the reason why Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others came to find Sun Ti, but Sun Ti asked him first. Bao Zheng coughed twice, and then asked: "Master Sun has a very high reputation here, if Bai Qiye If you were killed, you are very likely to become the village chief, right?"

Sun Ti was startled at first, then returned to normal expression, said: "Master Bao's words are true, if Bai Qiye is killed, the possibility of me becoming the village head is indeed very high, but I have no intention of fame and fortune, so even Bai Qiye If my master is killed, I will not compete to be the village head."

"But what if the elders in the village let you do it?"
