Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

By the time Wen Yu and Xu Jing came out of Yan's house, it was already dark, and there was a curfew in the city.

Although in Xu Jing's identity, the doorman can let him through as long as he reveals his identity, but after all, it is a bit troublesome.So Wen Yu proposed to let Xu Jing stay in the yamen with him for one night, and it happened that he needed to find someone to discuss some things that he couldn't figure out.

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

When they arrived at the county magistrate's house, Wen Yu called Deng Wu and asked him if he found anything today after inquiring about the news with the beggars.

Deng Wu replied: "I just wanted to report this to my lord, but the man has confirmed it, his name is Lu Baozhu, he is a native of Mengyang.

Then Deng Wu said again: "If you don't inquire about this Lu Baozhu, you don't know about it. Once you inquire about this person, you will feel strange everywhere."

"Oh?" Wen Yu was surprised, "What's so strange about him?"

Deng Wu rationalized his thoughts: "Lu Baozhu is 26 years old this year. He was abandoned by his parents when he was a child. An old beggar picked him up and he naturally became a beggar when he grew up. For a living. He was no different from other beggars in the city. But one day a few years ago, he suddenly became rich!"

"In the beginning, everyone thought he was lucky enough to pick up the money, and saw what he would do when he spent every day waiting to see if the money was spent, but who knew that he seemed to have a cornucopia, and he had no shortage of money for several years in a row. "

After finishing speaking, Deng Wu frowned in disgust: "This man is also a heartless person. When he has money, he goes to kilns and eats flowers and wine all day long. He never thinks about buying some properties. Many people have asked him what the money is. Where did it come from, but this Lu Baozhu has no other advantages, that is, he has a strict mouth, and he doesn’t say how others poured him ecstasy soup. Then one day, it seemed that Lu Baozhu suddenly ran out of money. At first, he asked others to borrow it, and finally others looked at him If you don’t pay it back, you will find him all day long to collect debts, and he has no money or land, so you can only go back and beg for food.”

After hearing what he said, Wen Yu already had a general idea in mind, so she continued to ask Deng Wu: "What about Lu Baozhu, have you ever brought him back?"

Deng Wu shook his head: "My lord, Lu Baozhu has disappeared for ten days."

Missing again?Wen Yu was upset, so the clue was broken again.

But there was no other way to do it, so I could only ask Deng Wu to continue to intensify the search, and tell Deng Wu about Su Huai's disappearance by the way, so that he could also send someone to search for Su Huai.

Deng Wu advised: "Sir, I don't think Su Huai's disappearance may be related to this case, otherwise we should try our best to find Lu Bao."

Wen Yu glanced at him, and said calmly: "Whether it's related or not, Su Huai is also a citizen of Mengyang County, and Mengyang County has an obligation to protect his safety."

Deng Wu was taken aback by what he said, and immediately nodded in agreement, and sent someone to search.

During this process, Xu Jing listened to the whole process, did not say a word during the period, just bowed his head in thought.

After Deng Wu left, Wen Yu turned around and asked Xu Jing, "What is Master Xu's opinion on this case?"

Xu Jing said lightly: "Deng Wu is not right, Su Huai is related to this case, and I'm afraid it's too bad."

Wen Yu agreed with a dignified expression: "I think so too."

Indeed, after learning about Su Huai's situation in the past few years from Mrs. Yan, Wen Yu came to her own conclusion.

"It's very likely that Lu Baozhu is holding a secret that can threaten Jiang Lei and Su Huai. Lu Baozhu met Su Huai first, and the owner of the Chaos Shop also said before that Su Huai's appearance has changed a lot since he was a child. So Even in the same city, it took so many years to recognize each other. After recognizing each other, Lu Baozhu used that secret to blackmail Su Huai for many years, but recently, for unknown reasons, this trick is useless to Su Huai."

Xu Jing continued his words: "Jiang Lei returned to Mengyang County just at this time, do you think that Lu Baozhu shifted his target to Jiang Lei and also planned to threaten Jiang Lei?"

Wen Yu nodded: "I think so. You also said before that Jiang Lei showed fear when he heard that beggar came to him."

Wen Yu felt that he had an idea, and said quickly while pacing in the room: "Lu Baozhu is definitely not willing to be sent away, and will go to Jiang Lei again and threaten him with the secret in his hand, but what he didn't expect is that, Jiang Lei didn't give in. So Lu Baozhu turned evil, and then killed Jiang Lei, and probably killed Su Huai as well!"

Xu Jing interrupted him before he finished speaking: "If Lu Baozhu really had this ability, he wouldn't be what he is today."

Wen Yu also calmed down after being splashed with cold water.Yeah, if that's the case, there are too many places that don't make sense.

First of all, it was clearly Lu Baozhu who held the secrets of Jiang Lei and Su Huai, and it was Jiang Lei and the others who wanted to kill Lu Baozhu to silence them. The motive for committing the crime was too far-fetched;

Secondly, Wu Zuo has also studied with Wen Yu about splitting people in half. The murderer must not only have an extraordinary psychological quality, but also have a certain amount of strength.According to Deng Wu's description, Lu Baozhu is short in stature and not very courageous, so it is really too difficult to complete this plan;

Finally, Lu Baozhu is a beggar, how could he poison Jiang Lei without anyone noticing and transport him up the mountain.

In short, there are too many loopholes here, but Wen Yu still firmly believes that finding Lu Baozhu is the breakthrough of the whole case.

And now that other clues are unclear, this is the only driftwood they can grab.

Wen Yu shared his thoughts with Xu Jing again, and the two guessed several possibilities, but because of the lack of evidence, they could only go to rest and make plans tomorrow.

The next day, Wen Yu and Xu Jing got up early and were about to eat when they saw Deng Wu walk in with a disheveled expression.

Wen Yu invited him to have a meal together, Deng Wu repeatedly waved his hands, saying that he couldn't eat, and advised Wen Yu and Xu Jing not to eat too, otherwise it would be uncomfortable for a while.

Wen Yu felt very strange, so he asked: "When exactly, Deng arrested the head, but it doesn't matter."

Deng Wu turned his head away from looking at the food on the table, suppressed the churning feeling in his stomach, and said after a long time: "I found Su Huai, it was discovered by the people of the Yan family, in the basement of another workshop of the Yan family , that workshop is relatively old and has been abandoned for many years, so the Yan family didn't search it carefully, and only sent people to search inside and out last night."

Wen Yu knew it well, and said, "I'm afraid Su Huai has died, and the death is very tragic, right?"

"It's more than tragic! You don't even know, my lord! The murderer cut Su Huai into several pieces and fried them in a frying pan!"

Deng Wu's expression turned pale, "I heard that Mrs. Yan passed out when she went to identify the corpse, and now she is completely out of her wits."

Wen Yu felt very nauseated after hearing this.

At this time Xu Jing got up and said to the two of them: "I will go to see the scene with Deng Butou in a while, and try to record the scene as much as possible. Mr. Wen's foot injury is probably not healed yet, so let's continue to recuperate in the mansion."

Wen Yu knew that it was because he was considerate of himself as a weakling, and found an excuse to help him out. The two of them walked for so long to investigate the case yesterday, and Xu Jing couldn't figure out whether his feet were good or not?

He wanted to decline, but thinking of the scene Deng Wu described, he really didn't have the courage to face a big pot of bombed corpses.

Wen Yu looked at Xu Jing, and said with some concern: "If Mr. Xu has something to do, don't bother. We'll go check it out together after the body is moved away."

Xu Jing shook his head: "Uncouth officials like this have seen situations a hundred times worse than this on the battlefield, so it's okay."

Wen Yu was still a little worried, but Deng Wu said with tears streaming down his face, Mr. Wen!Mr. Xu, you are bold and skilled, you are definitely not afraid, but you also care about me, watching the murder scene twice in a row has a lot of psychological shadow on me, okay?

It's a pity that Wen Yu still didn't notice his resentful little eyes, and sent the two of them away directly.

After the two left, Wen Yu felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Now that Su Huai was dead, the clues to the whole case fell on Lu Baozhu alone. He immediately sent out all the yamen servants to search Lu Baozhu across the county.

Not only that, he also asked someone to exile those three religions and nine exiles in Mengyang, saying that if anyone found the trace of Lu Baozhu, the government would reward them heavily.

So under the temptation of money, everyone in Mengyang who received the news began to look for Lu Baozhu,

In the end, they really found it—but what they found was Lu Baozhu's body.

He seemed to have been dead longer than Jiang Lei and Su Huai. Wu Zuo said that it should have been about ten days, but his death was not as scary as the other two. The wound on his chest was also fatal.

But his tongue was pulled out, and the long tongue hangs out after the corpse is stiff, which looks very strange.

Now all the clues were broken, Wen Yu smiled wryly.

The author has something to say: By the way, this can be regarded as an alternative third watch, hahahahaha!I am proud!

When writing this chapter, all kinds of criminal investigation dramas kept appearing in my mind, and I was a little scared in the middle of the night ORZ
