Bai Laoba's courtyard was very strange, and many villagers even retreated out of fear.

Hwarang endured the unpleasant smell of blood and inspected the corpse. He saw that there was no trauma on the body except the head, and there was no sign of poisoning. This means that the deadly wound should be above the neck. The murderer took it away, and if he wanted to know the specific cause of death, he might have to find the head of the deceased first.

Hwarang stood up, looked at the weeping people and asked, "Who was the first to discover the corpse?"

At this time, a half-baked woman stood up and said, "It's me, I'm Bai Laoba's wife."

Hwarang nodded slightly, and asked, "What happened at that time?"

Bai Laoba's wife wept, and said: "It was very late at that time, and the master and I were resting in the house, but then the master suddenly said that he had a stomachache. It was convenient, so I didn't care much, but the master went out for half a stick of incense. I didn’t come back, I was a little worried, so I got up and went down to look for the master, when I walked to the courtyard, I saw the master’s body lying here, it’s so scary!”

"You were not asleep at the time, didn't you hear any noise?"

The woman shook her head: "I didn't hear that. We live some distance from here. Our residences are all in the backyard, and the front is the courtyard."

After the woman explained this, Hwarang frowned slightly, and then asked, "Who do you think will kill your master?"

After Hualang asked such a question, the woman seemed very hesitant. Seeing this, Bao Zheng snorted coldly: "Why are you hesitating, just say who might kill Bai Laoba!"

The woman shrank her neck in fright, and said: "If Bai Qiye hadn't died, I think the murderer might be Bai Qiye, but now that Bai Qiye died before my master, I don't know who the murderer is. .”

Everyone was very surprised when they heard the woman's words, because they really didn't understand why Bai Qiye killed Bai Laoba?

"You said Bai Qiye might kill your master?"

The woman wept and nodded repeatedly, but at this time, Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai who were standing aside suddenly ran over, knelt down and said, "My lord, Mingcha, our father will not kill Bashu, really."

Bao Zheng and Hua Lang didn't care about Bai Yu and Mrs. Bai's words, they just looked at Bai Laoba's wife and asked, "Why is it possible for Bai Qiye to kill Bai Laoba?"

"Returning to my lord, it's like this. Our master seems to know a secret of Bai Qiye. He often uses that secret to ask Bai Qiye for money. Bai Qiye is afraid that my master will tell that secret, so every time The last time my master went to ask for money, he gave it all. I persuaded my master a lot because of this matter, saying that Bai Qiye was in a hurry, be careful of him, but my master said he was not afraid, and later Bai Qiye was killed , my master immediately went to the elders in the village to give gifts, he wants to be this village!"

After the woman said this, Hua Lang and Bao Zheng immediately understood why Bai Laoba lied to them today. It turned out that the money Bai Qiye gave Bai Laoba was not just for hiding in the golden house outside, but also for the hush money. .

It's just that Bai Qiye is dead, so why was this Bai Laoba killed?

The secret, the one they both knew?

Thinking of the secret, Bao Zheng quickly asked: "What secret does your master know about Bai Qiye?"

The woman looked puzzled, and said: "The master never told me about this matter, he only said that he knew a secret, but he didn't tell me what the secret was, this..." The woman spread her hands, making it even more difficult.

Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others also felt that the matter was a little difficult. After they ordered people to look at Bai Laoba's body, they immediately called people from the whole village to search Bai Laoba's head to determine how Bai Laoba was killed.

Some villagers like to be lively, and they also hold torches and follow behind the yamen servants. For a while, the whole village seems to be more lively than during the day.

Searching and searching like this, I searched all the places where the head might be hidden, but couldn't find it. At this time, it was almost dawn, so everyone had to give up.

After Hwarang and the others went back to the tent to rest for more than an hour, the sky brightened, and the wind picked up, bringing in bursts of coolness.

After Hualang and others got up, they were going to look for Bai Laoba's head, but at this time, people from Bai Qiye's family hurried over and said they had found Bai Laoba's head.

Seeing that the head was found by the members of Bai Qiye's family, everyone felt suspicious in their hearts, so they quickly asked, "Where did you find it, and who found it?"

The servant of Bai Qiye's family was so eager to ask Hua Lang that he was a little panicked, and he stammered and replied: "Yes... Bai Yi found it in the dry well in the backyard of the mansion."

"That's the dry well where Bai Qiye's body was found?"

The servant nodded repeatedly.

After hearing these words, Hua Lang, Bao Zheng and the others looked puzzled. They did not expect that the murderer would also throw Bai Laoba's head into the dry well in the backyard of Bai Qiye's house, and the person who discovered it was the one who discovered it. The Bai Yi of Bai Qiye's corpse.

At the beginning, they didn't pay much attention to Bai Yi, but now it seems that Bai Yi also needs to investigate.

After thinking about it this way, Bao Zheng immediately asked that servant to lead the way, and they followed into Bai Qiye's house.

Although Bai Laoba's head was found at Bai Qiye's house, the people of Bai Qiye's family were not very sad, but the people of Bai Laoba's family became more jealous of Bai Qiye's family, because they suspected that Bai Laoba's family had been killed. The eighth person is from Bai Qiye's family, most likely Bai Yu, or Mrs. Bai.

After Hualang and others rushed to the backyard of Bai Qiye's house, they immediately ordered someone to fish up the head from the dry well. At this time, the head had already emitted a faint rotten smell, and the head was severely damaged. Recognizing it was Bai Laoba's head, when Bai Laoba's family saw the head, they cried even harder, and clamored for Bao Zheng to arrest all the members of Bai Qiye's family.

Hwarang ignored the quarrels of these people, and only carefully examined the head. He found that the back of the dead man's head was damaged, and he should have been hit on the back of the head with a heavy object. After the murderer hit Bai Laoba on the back of the head, He also used a sharp weapon to cut off Bai Laoba's head. According to the investigation of the scars on the neck, the murderer must have been strong, otherwise it would not have been possible to cut off Bai Laoba's head so easily.

If so, women like Mrs. Bai are the first to be ruled out.

But after Mrs. Bai was excluded, who would the murderer be?

What did the murderer kill Bai Laoba for?The secret that Bai Laoba and Bai Qiye both know?Or is it to be the village head?

The more motives, the more complicated the case.
