Chapter 45 There must be something tricky

"The body was found in the alley in front." Wei Ling raised her chin.

"People who live nearby know that this is a dead end and no one passes by. Today, a few children were having fun nearby. I saw some wood carvings on the ground. I picked them up and entered the alley, but found a corpse. .”

"The children were frightened and their expressions were a little incoherent. I only knew that more than a dozen or twenty small wooden carvings were scattered all over the ground, such as little eagles and chicks." Chen Buyu led everyone into the alley.

"The corpse has been examined by the old lady of the Niu family. The preliminary test shows that it is the same as Niu Daji Niu Erji's death. Both were deaths of caesarean section, but the old lady Niu's eyes were leached out before her death, and her cheeks were stabbed and poisonous. Two words. ”

The governor Yu slapped his thigh, "It must be a revenge! If it were a purposeless serial murderer, how could he stare at their Niu family and even have to tattoo Old Mrs. Niu's face? It's nothing more than a deep hatred!"

"What's wrong with the dead Chen Ergou?" Wei Ling was puzzled.

Wu Yong, the yamen runner of the governor's office, said, "According to our visits and investigations over the past few days, Chen Ergou has nothing to do with the Niu brothers. However, this person had worked in the Liang Palace before, but later he was driven away by the government office because he was lazy by nature and could not do things in a way. Come out."

"King Liang's Mansion?" Yu Shoudao frowned and couldn't think of it.

"Forget it, first transport the body of Mrs. Niu back to the charity house and let the Niu family recognize the body."

"The Niu family has only two brothers. Now the eldest and second wife, Mrs. Niu, are dead, and only the eldest daughter-in-law, who has just entered the house." Wu Yong sighed, "To put it, this eldest daughter-in-law is also unlucky. A beautiful girl from a scholar's family has married into such a family."

"You said that the boss of the Niu family married a bride just now this year? How many betrothal gifts did he give to the scholar's family?" Yu Linlang suddenly spoke out.

"Oh, this little guy has asked, and I have given you a full ten taels of silver to give me a betrothal gift!" Wu Yong laughed.

This is a unique honor for the entire Niu Family. Usually, when a village family gets a bride, it is enough for three taels of money, and some even hold the banquet together.

"I heard that the banquet was also a big show, which gave the scholar a lot of face. But the scholar's wife had been in the house for more than half a year and her stomach was not moving. Old Mrs. Niu began to complain, and she usually angrily looked at this eldest daughter-in-law."

"What are the complaints about this?" Wei Ling sneered, "I think his second wife is not pregnant either? Maybe the Niu family will have no fate with children."

"Oh, this is not. According to the investigation by the villain, Niu Daji had a wife before, who seemed to be pregnant two years ago. However, she disappeared when she was about to give birth. When she was found later, she was dead in the mountains and forests, with one corpse and two corpses. Life is very sad."

"Then do you think it takes for the ten taels of silver for poor farmers to save?" Yu Linlang stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at them quietly, "Niu Erji and his wife sold themselves to work in the governor's mansion two years ago and signed a ten-year contract. ”

"If it weren't for poverty, why is this? Do you think it's reasonable for a family who sells themselves to pay ten taels of silver to marry a bride?" Yu Linlang looked at Wu Yong, "If it were Lord Wu, under what circumstances would he pay ten taels of silver to pay ten taels of silver to pay under what circumstances would he pay ten taels of silver to pay?" Marry a second wife for the eldest son?”

"Uh...that must be that there is a surplus in the family."

Chen Buyu immediately understood, "What the girl means is that this farmer has more than ten taels of silver?"

"This Niu Daji died in Changle Gambling, and his younger brother had quarreled with his wife because he often went to the gambling house to gamble. How much did these two gamblers lose in the gambling house? Lord Wu shouldn't have checked it. Is it?”

"A farmer, how much harvest is at home, how much money is stored every year, is all calculated accounts. If the accounts are wrong, there must be something tricky. When you investigate the case, shouldn't you start with the meticulousness and take it out slowly? Like you In this way, you can find out what you can do with a hammer and a stick."

"This case just seems strange, but it is actually a man-made crime. Since it has nothing to do with your Demon Suppression Department, it is better to hand it over to Lord Lu of the Criminal Prison Department as soon as possible." Yu Linlang said a word and turned around and left the alley.

Chen Buyu and Wei Ling looked at each other, feeling frustrated as being offended.

Wu Yong touched the back of his head and looked at the governor Yu in a daze. "Uh, my subordinates think that the girl's words are very reasonable."

Yu Governor Momo looked at Daitou's subordinates and couldn't help but roar, "Why don't you go to investigate yet? Go to the Niu family to search for the Niu family, and then go to find out the news from the neighbors. What is the Niu family? What’s going on! Also, I’ll ask the Changle Gambling House how much gambling money is. Oh, by the way, invite the Niu family’s eldest daughter-in-law to the Fucheng to ask questions."

He finished his series and turned to look at Chen Buyu, who was expressionless, "Is it right Lord Chen?"

Chen Buyu nodded and said to Wu Yong, "Go and do it."

The governor Yu smiled and said without a smile, "Mr. Chen and Wei don't need to take what the girl said to you."

"That's of course. Lord Lu is busy with hungry people and sick people inside and outside the city. How can I find time to investigate the case at this time?" Chen Buyu said calmly, "Leave the case to us."

"Mr. Governor, I wonder what Ling Qianjin did in the past?" Wei Ling asked curiously, "Ling Qianjin will examine the autopsy and touch the bones, with sharp eyes and analyzing the case. I will never do it in the yamen in the past, right?"

"Mr. Wei is really good at joking." The governor laughed, "The little girl has been recuperating in Xiaozhuangzi for many years because of illness and just returned home a few days ago."

"Sir." The yamen run hurried from the entrance of the alley and bowed, "The prince has ordered the city to be closed down, and the murderer will be searched along the street tonight."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

In Yuchun Garden, the Huo Yupian and his daughter had dinner and snuggled up on the couch and said warmly and private words.

The atmosphere has always been pretty good, but when the topic turned to Yu Linlang, Huo's expression became much less obvious.

"I heard that she has been running around with your father these two days, busy with the case." Huo took a sip of tea, "Every girl should look like a girl."

"I don't know when she will learn from your quiet and graceful spirit."

"Sister Linlang is also very powerful. How can ordinary people understand those? By the way, my mother, the last time I said I would send someone to Xiaofu Village to pick up those old ladies, is there no news yet?"

"How can it be so fast?" Huo laughed, "If it's hard to walk on the cold road today, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth. Judging from this situation, it's been a good idea to be able to pick up people by the end of the month."

"Will you get the New Year?" Yu Pianpian thought in her heart, and a smile appeared in her eyes, "Mother, do you think it's good to send Sister Linlang to our Shuyun Women's College to study?"

Huo was a little surprised and looked down at his baby daughter, "How could you think so?"
