Inscription of Different Cases

It was still difficult to sleep that night, and the thoughts that had been lingering for several days were finally sorted out in Yao Xinlian's words, but Han Lang still couldn't let go of his heart.

He still can't believe that he is in love with He Yijiu, love is too elusive, and it is a love that goes against ethics, so he is full of doubts and fears, and he is hesitant.But he knew that he needed He Yijiu, and no other person had entered into every aspect of his life so smoothly. Once he lost it, it was like a fish suddenly being shackled by a fishing net.

He Yijiu's previous behavior also made Han Lang very concerned, did he give up?That's right, no one's patience is limited, if he keeps refusing, he won't continue, right?Thinking of this, Han Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was more anxious. "That's all," he comforted himself silently, "isn't it just going back to the old days, it's normal to not get used to it at first."

After a while, it will pass.

Early the next morning, Anping County was shrouded in thick morning fog.Han Lang didn't sleep well, and yawned all the way into the gate of the county government office.As soon as he sat down, he took out a steamed bun bought outside and took two bites, a few arresters rushed in from outside the door, and the leader was A Bao who was sent by him to arrest Shi Qing.

"But there is news?"

"Yes, yes, it was almost there!" Panting Ah Bao, his face covered with sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water, "I chased him all the way, but the car he was driving overturned the cliff, and the people died." Gone!"

"What?!" Han Lang was shocked.

A Bao immediately led him to the scene, and explained the details to him on the way.It turned out that after they searched separately yesterday, Abao's group went directly to the east, but there was no news until dusk.No way, they expanded the search area and posted wanted notices everywhere.In order to facilitate the search, everyone was divided into teams of two or three. Abao and another policeman named Li were together, and the two found a place called Liushu Village together. nothing.

"At that time, Brother Li suggested that I should go back, but I think, I think it's better to find that place first," said A Bao, his horse was side by side with Han Lang, and he was so fast that he even had to talk He shouted loudly, "Then, boss, guess what, the villagers really said that a few days ago a foreigner came to their place and worked as a cooper in the village."

"Isn't this exactly Shi Qing?" Han Lang said.

"Yes! Boss, do you think this Shi Qing is stupid? Later I asked the villagers what the newcomer's name was, and they said it was 'Zheng Da'. I thought, this must be Shi Qing's fake name. I thought again, you must not scare the snake. So instead of taking someone to catch him, I thought of a way to test him. This is what you taught me, boss!"

"Stop flattering, and then?"

"I said that the barrel of wine in my house was cracked, and I asked him to help. He is quite cautious, and has been refusing to show his face. He also hides in the corner of the house, next to the road. I thought about it with Brother Li. All kinds of methods can be regarded as tricking him out, but I found out that it is not right, this person does not look the same as in the portrait, his face is dirty and has a few cuts, it is ugly."

Han Lang smiled coldly: "He must have used this to avoid the portrait on the arrest warrant."

"When I saw it, I thought it was bad, maybe I found the wrong person. But Brother Li had an idea, and suddenly called 'Shi Qing' at his back, and he was shocked and ran away. Only then did we know I didn’t make a mistake, so I hurriedly chased him. I didn’t expect this person to be prepared. He ran into a carriage on the side of the road and started to escape. Brother Li and I were walking, so we had to turn around to get the horse. Run away far away."

"You didn't catch up?"

"No, his horse is not a good horse, and he was pulling the cart again. We followed him after a while. Alas, it was also unlucky, the mountain road was very difficult, and Shi Qing was running in a panic. Suddenly, the carriage lost control and died. Turned down the mountain. When Brother Li and I chased after it, we saw the carriage smashed into pieces, and it was broken into pieces! There was water flowing down the mountain, and it was still dark, so we couldn’t see anything. We searched for a while and found I couldn't find it at all, the carriage was all broken, and the person didn't know where it fell."

Just as he was talking, Ah Bao suddenly reined in his horse, pointed to the front and said, "It's near here."

Han Lang then jumped off the horse and stepped forward to check.The road here is extremely narrow, with cliffs on the left and a bottomless mountain stream on the right.The bottom is full of dense bushes, and the wreckage of the carriage can still be vaguely seen during the period.Han Lang didn't hesitate much, and began to walk down cautiously while climbing on the rocks. Ah Bao yelled anxiously from behind: "Boss, be careful! This place is too steep!"

Han Lang replied from a distance, and continued to walk down slowly.It has been raining recently, the rocks are very slippery, and the soil shatters into dross as soon as you step on it, and it falls down.The roar of running water came from below, the sound was enough to drown out all the noise, and he couldn't even hear Ah Bao's yelling clearly.Not far away, he saw the dead body of the horse, whose throat was pierced by the messy sharp stones on the ground.Further down is the steep mountain wall, which is already difficult for ordinary people. He told Abao not to move, took a breath, and jumped down quickly.

The grass was full of bugs, and as soon as he stood still, he saw a cloud of gray clouds buzzing around his feet.There is a big puddle of blood here, it is hard to tell if it is human blood, if it is indeed left by Shi Qing, then he himself may have fallen into the water and died.

Han Lang continued to walk along the river bank for a while, but found nothing, not even a piece of clothing.Ah Bao has been standing there waiting for him, seeing that he came back empty-handed, he sighed and said, "Is it really gone?"

Han Lang waved his hands helplessly.

"Then how will this case be settled..." Ah Bao was distressed.Han Lang didn't answer, he walked to his side with deep thoughts, rubbing the mud on his shoes repeatedly on the grass.After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is there a village near here?"

"There seems to be nothing nearby," Ah Bao shook his head and said, "How about we look along the river?"

Han Lang nodded: "That's the only way."

The two mounted their horses again and searched along the way.After passing through the mountain stream, the river gradually slowed down, forming a lake at the foot of the mountain.There was no trace of human activities along the way, and finally saw a woodcutter, and said that he did not see anyone washed down by the river.If Han Langxin wanted to go back and report like this, County Magistrate Qian would certainly not say anything more, and closed the case as the murderer committed suicide in fear of crime.

Or just let it go?

While hesitating, Ah Bao pointed to the mountain and exclaimed: "Look, boss! There is a house there!"

That seemed to be the only house nearby, Han Lang immediately turned his horse's head and led A Bao straight away.After taking a closer look, the two realized that this was not an ordinary farm house, but a mountain courtyard built by a wealthy family.The walls are extremely high, covered with a thick layer of black tiles, and every ten feet there is a carved and hollowed-out wooden window, which is also pasted with white paper to completely block the view outside.

Han Lang stood still in front of the black-lacquered gate, and saw that there were two bronze animal heads adorning the door, so he held the door knocker in the mouth of the animal head and patted it.The dull voice echoed in the silent mountain forest, and no one responded.Han Lang turned to knocking on the door with his hands, but there was still no response from inside.Ah Bao looked around, then turned to Han Lang anxiously and said, "Boss, this is not a haunted house, is it...?"

"What ghost house?" Han Lang glanced at him.I thought this place was clean, there was no moss at the base of the walls, and the door was often scrubbed, so there was no dust at all. Someone must be cleaning it often.Could it be that the master is not at home?

The scale of this mansion is really not small, ordinary rich people may not be able to afford it.Han Lang became more and more curious about the owner here, but after wandering around outside the door for a while, he still couldn't find any clues about the identity of the owner.

Ah Bao was still calling for the door, and after calling for a while he was a little tired, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.Just when the two thought they were going to return in vain, the door suddenly "creaked" and opened inwards, and an old man who looked like a man came out, looked at the two and said, "What's your business?"

Han Lang explained to him why he came here, but the doorman was unwilling to let them enter the mansion for inspection: "The master has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Han Lang asked them who the master was again, but the doorman still had that unkind look: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling the identity of the master."

"Don't give up anything, how can you be such an unreasonable servant," Ah Bao was a little annoyed, and said angrily, "You are harboring fugitives!"

The doorman glanced at them neither humble nor overbearing: "Could it be that the two adults saw a fugitive enter with their own eyes?"

Now Ah Bao was speechless, Han Lang sighed helplessly, and said nicely, "Old man, have you seen any suspicious people recently?"

After all, he showed the arrest warrant to the other party, and the doorman glanced at it lightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

"Then is your master in the mansion?"

"The master will bring relatives and friends here to play in his spare time, and he won't come here on weekdays." The door is fair.

"Then why don't you be more careful?" Ah Bao muttered, "This is a murderer who can steal things. Be careful that he will sneak into your house one night!"

Han Lang waved his hand to tell him not to talk too much.Men Gong didn't react after hearing this, and said calmly: "The mansion is heavily guarded, and Sir Lao is concerned."

After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door and chase away people. At this moment, Han Lang accidentally glanced at the crack of the door, and happened to see a plaque hanging above the hall behind, with the first two characters vaguely saying "sea of ​​clouds".Before he could say anything, the door slammed shut in front of his eyes.He and Ah Bao stood outside the door in despair, like two homeless men who had been kicked out.

A Bao pursed his lips and cursed, "Who are these people!"

On the way back, Han Lang kept silent and thoughtful.Ah Bao rode beside him, babbling bad things about the family all the way: "I see, this group of people is very suspicious! The house is being built in the deep mountains and old forests, and the outer walls are so high. With a nose so high in the sky. Pooh! What the hell!"

As he spoke, he lashed his horsewhip hard, and said again: "Besides, he said that the guards are heavily guarded. He was just joking. A house is as noisy as a royal garden. Who would believe it?"

"I'd say they've got something hidden in the house. Like, uh--gold, silver and gems! Stolen!"

Han Lang couldn't take it anymore, and slapped him hard on the back of the head: "I told you to read more of the previous files, not to let you think wildly."

"But, boss, don't you think they are weird?"

Han Lang pondered for a while, but still didn't speak.

When the two returned to Anping County, it was past the curfew time.The guards at the gate of the city knew Han Lang already, and when they let him enter the city, they even said a few words, telling him not to delay him for so long.After entering the city, Han Lang said goodbye to Abao and went home to rest alone.Walking on the road, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he deliberately turned to He Yijiu to have a look.I want to talk to that person, or just meet up.But the lights were not on at the other party's house, and he didn't know whether he was resting or not at home, so Han Lang stopped at the alley for a while without saying a word, then turned and left.

He didn't see He Yijiu again for several days.Now Han Lang was more convinced that the other party gave up on him, so he repeatedly comforted himself and said: "This is the best, and this will be a relief." But these days, he still felt empty in his heart, as if he had punched cotton, full of heart. Instead of venting his thoughts, he made himself feel inexplicably lost.

Stop being sentimental, fuck!

He wished he could slap himself hard.After scolding a few words, his mood gradually calmed down, but he was completely unsure of himself, thinking that there must be a next time.No way, he still couldn't resist the erratic temptation in his heart, his thoughts always drifted to He Yijiu's side, and he couldn't take it back.

Shi Qing's case is still pending, and it has been dragging on.County magistrate Qian meant that Han Lang could do whatever he wanted with such a small case, and Han Lang would continue to send people to search in the mountains.

It was noon, and the air was hot and humid. Han Lang suddenly saw one of He Yijiu's followers running uncharacteristically in the street, and immediately felt weird, so he stopped him immediately.

"what for?"

"Han, Mr. Han?!" The servant was suddenly stopped by him, his tongue was tied up in fright, "I didn't do anything wrong, don't catch me!"

"Look at your burning appearance, is your house on fire?" Han Lang was never polite when dealing with these smooth-talking guys, "Say, why are you running like crazy on the street?"

"Oh, Mr. Han, it's a mess right now!" The attendant jumped anxiously, "Master He is leaving this afternoon, I have to bring something to see him off!"

"What did you say?!"

"Our Lord He! He has stayed in Anping enough, and said he wants to change places, and the successor has been chosen! Oh, oh, let's not talk about it, I can't catch up, Mr. Han will talk about it when he has time!"

In the past, Han Lang would have scolded him, "Who will tell you again", but now his brain seemed to be frozen, and he could only watch this person run away, unable to say a word.

He Yijiu is leaving?

Didn't inform him at all, just left?

"Fuck you," he murmured.

"Fuck you, He Yijiu."

Looking up, I only felt that the noon sun was so hot that my eyes hurt, and the noise around me seemed to be filtered and disappeared.He heard his heart beating like a drum, like a clenched fist hitting his chest heavily, endlessly.
