The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 184 Clearing the fog (updated, please subscribe)
"Ouch, cough, cough ~"

Seeing Dong Zhen who was retching after taking out the chopsticks again, Mo Xiaobai was indeed shocked by her thoughts.

Can the dead still feed like this?

It seems that it is very possible to achieve.

It is this process that makes people involuntarily and easily misunderstood.

"Jun Xin, you just said it just now. Why try it yourself? It's uncomfortable to insert a wooden chopstick into your deep throat, right? I'll get you a bowl of water to drink."

After Mo Xiaobai finished speaking, he walked into the house and poured a bowl of water to Dong Zhen.Dong Zhen swallowed a mouthful and immediately vomited it all out again. After vomiting, she seemed to feel better, and said, "Is it good, sir, you will know if you try it yourself?"

I try?

This one is free.

The corner of Mo Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to change the subject: "I already know what you want to tell me. Although the rice grains were eaten when he was ugly, whether Zhou Yi was dead or alive at that time is completely unknown, right? "

"Yes."

"Since the time of death can no longer be confirmed, the alibi of some people can't be counted."

Mo Xiaobai really wanted to thank Dong Zhen now. It wasn't for Dong Zhen's sudden assist, but he just wanted to break his head, and it was impossible for him to think that people could still eat after death.

"Jun Xin, you rest first, I will go to Guo Jia and the others to discuss what to do next."

Knowing the big flaw in the whole case, Mo Xiaobai didn't bother to eat breakfast, and ran to the guest room where Guo Jia was temporarily staying, and took him out of the room.

"My lord, when is this?"

Guo Jia has always been a lazy person who doesn't get up until eight or nine o'clock. He squinted his eyes and was dragged out of the room by Mo Xiaobai. After looking at the sky, he started yawning again.

"Don't sleep, you are the only one who is still sleeping among so many people. Just now, Jun Xin made a new discovery, which can already prove that Zhou Yi didn't die after that ugly night."

Mo Xiaobai dragged Guo Jia to explain. Hearing what the lord said, Guo Jia, who was still sleepy, was taken aback for a moment, and then he was stunned: "Then Zhou Yi didn't die when he was ugly? What time would it be?"

Seeing Guo Jia's surprised expression, Mo Xiaobai immediately repeated what Dong Zhen said just now, but omitted the process of demonstrating in person.

But even without a demonstration, Guo Jia understood.

Not only the living can eat, but the dead can too!

"The murderer deliberately created false evidence, Feng Xiao, where do you think we should start to find it?"

"My lord, don't be in a hurry to find the murderer."

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, frowned and pondered for a moment before revealing suspicion: "The meal may have been fed after death, but the murderer who fed the meal must have been there at the time, but according to everyone in the restaurant, no one had entered or left that room when Chou was ugly. The time is still not right, unless"

"Unless what?"

"Unless it was indeed an ugly time, but everyone in the restaurant mistakenly thought that it was not an ugly time."

After Guo Jia uttered this awkward sentence, the brightness of his eyes kept flickering: "Jia understands that to manipulate the time, not only need to use the technique of feeding, but also need the cooperation of the watchman. The only way is to let the watchman misreport the ugly time. For Zishi, or even before Zishi, this initiative of feeding the dead can really take effect."

When the confirmation of the time of death was overturned, the rest of the time-related evidence aroused Guo Jia's suspicion.

There is no doubt that the watchman has a big problem!

Because if the watchman tells the time according to the normal time, at least some people in the restaurant will see that the room where the county magistrate stays is still occupied when it is ugly.

Only when the watchman falsified, in the ancient times when there were no clocks, watches, or mobile phones, people would mistake the ugly time for the real time, and unknowingly, perjure the murderer.

"Okay, I'll let the watchman be arrested and interrogated first!"

Getting new clues from Guo Jia, Mo Xiaobai planned to arrest people without even thinking about it, but before he turned his head, Guo Jia immediately stopped him and said, "My lord, you don't need to scare the snake at this moment, you just need to send someone to keep an eye on the more serious ones." Husband, secretly find out who he usually associates with. In addition, you can go to the restaurant and ask where the special wooden chopsticks come from."

"Secretly check?"

"That's right. After all, we don't have conclusive evidence in our hands. Instead of announcing Dr. Dong's findings to the public, it's better to wait until we get the really useful evidence, and then openly arrest people."

Guo Jia's meaning is very simple. Although Dong Zhen has cracked the secret of "dead people eat", it is just a guess after all, and guesses cannot be used as evidence.

It's better to follow the vines secretly, and wait until you find the 'melon' before making a move. At that time, no one will be able to deny the sophistry.

"Then who should I send to investigate secretly?"

"Jia is not talented, I would like to go to the restaurant again." Guo Jia smiled and recommended himself.

"you?"

Seeing Guo Jia smile and open his mouth, Mo Xiaobai immediately laughed too: "The investigation is false, but is it true that you want to drink?"

"How dare Jia miss my lord's important business by being too greedy, just ask, just ask." Guo Jia would definitely not nod his head to admit it, but his pair of twinkling eyes had already betrayed everything.

"Drinking is definitely not allowed, but if you go, I will still agree."

Mo Xiaobai smiled, and then pouted towards Dong Zhen's location: "Miss Dong's nose is sharper than the bear-lion dog in our territory. Even if you have a little bit of alcohol, you can still smell it. She is very I hate a disobedient patient like you, be careful that Junxin will not dispense medicine for you, your body that has just recovered will collapse to the same level as before."

Guo Jia, who has always been free and easy, had an unnatural expression on his face when he heard the word 'Dong Zhen', and he sneered twice: "Then Jia is going now, he doesn't drink at all, and only investigates the case. .”

"go Go."

He waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to leave, and Mo Xiaobai called Li Guang, who was practicing boxing, and asked Li Guang to check on the watchman after a few sentences. who is it.

After arranging these two matters, Mo Xiaobai wandered towards the county office.

Although he is now mainly investigating cases and doing tasks, he is also required to complete the daily work of the county government, so it is definitely not possible to go home and sleep.

It is said to be office work, but in fact it is to deal with all kinds of chores in a county. After scanning the rural work reports sent by the three elders and Youzhi of various townships recently, Mo Xiaobai made comments with a few swipes.

Guo Jia, who had been away for an hour, finally came back when Mo Xiaobai dealt with some of the backlog of official affairs.

"My lord, I have quietly asked the cook of the 'Chunli Building', and that man has already admitted that he helped Miss Yun, the woman who accompanied the wine that night, to cut two slender wooden sticks."

Guo Jia trotted into the main hall and told Mo Xiaobai immediately after seeing Mo Xiaobai: "Besides, he also saw Miss Yun go to the back kitchen and burn the sticks with her own hands. The time happened to be that Zhou Ding left drunk, and the watchman passed by the back street of the restaurant. Moment."
