Magistrate Zhu got off the carriage, followed closely by Village Chief Fu, who entered the yard together with the policeman.

"Where is the body?" Magistrate Zhu asked as he walked, with Village Chief Fu leading the way.

The villagers surrounding the front immediately dispersed, and the main room was revealed. Magistrate Zhu saw the body on the ground at a glance.

Magistrate Zhu and the head catcher observed the surrounding situation and then notified the policeman to come forward for an autopsy.

Magistrate Zhu then asked the villagers some information about the deceased.

The catcher also led people to search Widow Liu's house, but found nothing unusual.

Gu Xue frowned slightly, and the villagers also whispered.

"Yeah, the county magistrate doesn't seem to have a clue."

"The case itself is strange. Who can offend an orphan and a widowed mother? If it was a robbery, it would be unjustifiable. Didn't the police officer say that there was no sign of the property being tampered with?"

Magistrate Zhu paced back and forth. When he saw that the widow was ready, he asked about the cause of death.

"The test came out. How did you die?"

"Sir, they were stabbed to death, both of them. There was a struggle before death, but they were both killed with one knife."

Afterwards, the head catcher also came over: "Sir, I have searched it inside and out. There is no sign of it being tampered with, and there is nothing suspicious in the house."

"Oh, there is a high possibility of a vendetta. Go and ask the villagers if the deceased had any enemies, and how did he get along with the villagers?"

The head catcher went down and asked the detectives to group up for questioning.

Gu Xue saw that the villagers were divided into several piles and asked questions separately.

Even their new arrivals were questioned.

"Master, we are newly settled here. We don't know Widow Liu. We have never had any contact with her since we came here."

"Yeah, it has nothing to do with her."

The head catcher asked people from Stone Village and Yangshu Village, and got the same answer. They had settled in and had not interacted much with the locals.

Moreover, they all live in the north and have never been to the south so far.

Gu Xue watched as several groups of police officers finished asking questions and all gathered at the head of the police.

She strained her ears and listened carefully.

"Boss, I asked. Widow Liu is usually quiet and taciturn. She rarely interacts with others."

"There has been no conflict with the villagers. She has a good temper and has never taken the initiative to cause trouble."

"She is very good to her daughter. She provides food and clothing for her first."

"The neighbors all say that Widow Liu is a nice person. I usually borrow things from her and she is very kind."

"Her husband and his family are gone. She herself fled here and has no other relatives."

After the arrester heard this, he went to report to Magistrate Zhu.

Gu Xue withdrew her gaze and turned to the elder brother next to her, watching the detectives in a trance.

"Brother, you are interested in the police. Do you want to be a policeman?" Gu Xue asked.

Gu Chun kowtowed twice and nodded when he saw his sister's searching eyes.

"Well, it feels like it's very interesting to interrogate a murderer like this."

Gu Xue smiled when she heard this: "Just do it if you like it, and tell your parents later."

Gu Chun hesitated and said, "Can parents agree?"

"Don't worry, dad is obsessed with carpentry now, he should be able to understand how you feel interested in something and want to do it.

Besides, the catcher is not bad either.

But, brother, you have to practice your skills to arrest people quickly. "

Gu Chun said seriously: "Yes, I have written it down and will be ready when I get back."

By the time the brother and sister finished their discussion, Magistrate Zhu over there was already leaving.

Widow Liu lay on a wooden board and was carried out.

Gu Xue followed the villagers and walked outside.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Widow Liu's arms hanging down.

Subconsciously, he called on his mental power and scanned the body.

He actually has martial arts skills!

Muscles and bones with martial arts skills are different from those without skills.

A peasant woman who rarely talks can actually have martial arts skills!

This widow is definitely not simple.

Just when Gu Xue was hesitating whether to tell the county magistrate about this discovery, her mental energy, which she had no time to restrain, accidentally fell to the ground.

Spiritual power penetrates the surface and goes deep into the ground.

Only then did Gu Xue realize that there was someone underground!

It turns out that there is a cellar here in the front yard, and someone is hiding in the cellar.

Seeing that the county magistrate was about to walk out of the yard, Gu Xue picked up a stone from the ground while no one was paying attention.

Soon, the stone flew out and hit the sealing board of the cellar entrance.

"boom!"

A loud bang came out.

The board at the cellar entrance shattered and collapsed, exposing the cellar entrance.

Everyone looked back after hearing the loud noise.

After the head catcher found out, he immediately ran to the source of the sound, and other catchers followed suit.

Magistrate Zhu returned and followed closely behind.

Obviously no one would find a cellar entrance there without looking carefully.

It is obvious that there is a cellar in Widow Liu's home, and the villagers should not know about it.

Fortunately, Gu Xue used her mental power to discover the trick.

The entrance to the cellar was surrounded.

Magistrate Zhu was surprised and ordered: "Go down and have a look."

The head catcher grabbed the torch from the nearby villagers and went down first.

Follow up quickly.

After a few breaths, the sound of fighting came.

Everyone on the ground was shocked.

The surrounding villagers instinctively moved away from the cellar entrance.

Magistrate Zhu also stepped aside.

Gu Xue stared at the cellar entrance.

Suddenly a black shadow came out.

It's now!

Gu Xue launched a mental attack on the black shadow!

The black figure suddenly stopped walking and put his hand on his forehead.

Just when he was dizzy, the policemen in the cellar had already ran out and surrounded him.

In the end, the shadow, actually the man in black, was pushed to the ground and tied with a rope.

The catcher also punched him, shattering his back molars.

To avoid hiding poison in the teeth and committing suicide by taking the poison.

The villagers were frightened by this turn of events.

"She has a cellar in her house, I don't even know."

"Don't say you don't know. Even we who live next door to her don't know there is a cellar here."

"I was scared to death. The black shadow just ran out, and my heart jumped into my throat."

"It's okay, he was caught."

"It can't be the murderer."

Magistrate Zhu was worried and asked the police to search the cellar again with torches.

In the end, I only found common things like grains and vegetables.

The villagers didn't know why Widow Liu even hid her in a cellar.

Magistrate Zhu took the person away.

Village Chief Fu also appeased everyone and asked everyone to disperse and go back to their homes.

Even after returning home, everyone felt uneasy.

The old Gu family.

"Father, Mom, it seems that this Daling Village is not peaceful either. Just a short time ago, a murder occurred." Gu Jianghai said worriedly.

When Gu Liuer heard the scream, she didn't follow them out to see, so she didn't know what happened.

"What's wrong? What happened? What murder case?" Gu Liu'er was curious.

Old Mrs. Gu: "What are you messing around with? I think it's Widow Liu who is misbehaving and getting into trouble. She should just go to bed. It has nothing to do with us."

The head of Fu village.

Mrs. Fang: "Dad, what's going on? Why is there a murder in our village? Nothing will happen, right? Can you keep your position as village chief?"

Village Chief Fu looked solemn:

"Maybe something will happen!"
