Go to ancient times to catch fast

Early the next morning, Chu Xiaoyun went to the signing office to read the deceased's Baojia information, and learned that the deceased Qian Zhu had a wife and children.The bodies of Qian Zhu's wife and children were not found at the sensitive scene last night, so why didn't his wife and children call for help when Qian Zhu died last night?where are theyThis is the first question Chu Xiaoyun has to figure out at the moment.But before that, he had to figure out how Qian Zhu died.On this point, it is natural to ask Wu Zuo.

When you have an idea, you have to act.Before going out, Chu Xiaoyun thought of Wei Jinghan's reminder, he hissed, and sent someone to the guard camp to inform him that today the arrest house will go to Qian Zhu's house to investigate.

After receiving the order, the policeman went away, Chu Xiaoyun tidied up his clothes, picked up the saber hanging on the wall and went out.When he stepped out of the gate of the arresting house, he saw that the people from the guard camp were already waiting there.

It seems that the yamen and Liang Zi of the guard camp are not shallow, Chu Xiaoyun chuckled lightly, and greeted: "It's really early, everyone."

The centurion of the guard battalion responded with a fake smile: "I have official duties, so I dare not be late."

Chu Xiaoyun smiled, ignored the other party's provocation, and said, "Since we're here, let's go together." After speaking, Chu Xiaoyun turned and walked towards the courtyard where Wu Zuo was.

Seeing Chu Xiaoyun going to another place in the county government, the people in the guard battalion showed puzzled expressions, and hesitantly followed.

"Old man, can you tell me how Qian Zhu died?"

Hearing Chu Xiaoyun's question, the old butcher said, "The deceased was stabbed face-to-face in the heart with the boning knife he used to sell meat, and died with one blow. His eyes were wide open after death."

The people from the guard battalion asked after hearing this, "Does this mean that his eyes are wide open?"

"This..." The old Wuzuo paused for a while, and then said, "It's a folklore, so you can say it that way."

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoyun asked, "Under what circumstances does this state appear after death?"

The old Wu said: "The folks say that this is called death without peace. In fact, it is because the deceased has the emotions and conditions of disbelief, fear, and surprise when the deceased dies."

"Does it mean that an acquaintance committed the crime?" the centurion of the guard battalion asked.

"This old man can't decide." The old man said.

Chu Xiaoyun already got the answer he wanted to know, saluted the old butcher, turned and left.Seeing that Chu Xiaoyun was leaving, the centurion hurriedly led his people to follow.

Qian Zhu's home was surrounded by county government officers and guards last night, some of the passers-by were in a hurry; the bold ones couldn't help but look inside; , whispering to each other.

After they arrived, the people from the guard camp proposed to check on the neighbors, ask about the situation when the crime happened last night, and find more people to testify.Chu Xiaoyun didn't accept it, so he went into Qian Zhu's house to check the crime scene.

The guards and guards who stayed behind last night greeted them one after another.

Qian Zhujia is a small courtyard facing the street.On the side facing the street are shops, with two bays.On the side facing the courtyard, there is a door with no walls.In the shop, all the knives used by the butcher should be hung on the wall, except for a boning knife.On the chopping board are the marks left by putting pork and chopping pork all the year round.

Because one of them has no wall facing the yard, the two front rooms have no door leading to the back yard.On weekdays, Qian Zhu's family members and people who came to visit would go in and out through places without walls.

Walking back from the shop facing the street, there is a small courtyard, and the other side of the small courtyard facing the shop is the residence of Qian Zhu's family.Chu Xiaoyun took a look at this house. To have such a house in such a prosperous place in Hejing County, Qian Zhu's family background must be quite good.

Running this shop, Qian Zhu should make a lot of money.

Chu Xiaoyun walked into the yard, and there was a place surrounded by lime in the middle of the yard, which was where Qian Zhu's body was found last night.Chu Xiaoyun looked at the location where Qian Zhu died, and recalled the records of the policemen who appeared at the scene last night. He squatted down and carefully checked the traces of the scene. It should be possible to rule out that Qian Zhu ran for his life before his death.Then he died in the middle of the small courtyard, which means that he should be familiar with the deceased, otherwise he would not have brought a stranger into the courtyard.For general customers and visitors, if you have something to say in the store, it will be fine.

Chu Xiaoyun went into Qian Zhu's family's residence to check again. The house was tidy and tidy, with no signs of being tampered with.It shows that the murderer didn't come for property, but the purpose was to commit murder.

After inspecting the scene, Chu Xiaoyun took people to find Qian Zhu's neighbors to learn about Qian Zhu's situation, his wife and children; asked if he heard anything last night, if he saw any suspicious people, etc.The neighbors said that Qian Zhu's family has been living here since they moved here more than ten years ago, and they have always been working as butchers.His family runs a butcher shop, and there are people coming and going on weekdays, how could he recognize so many people.As for the sound, I heard someone yelling "Killer" suddenly at night in panic, but I didn't hear anything else, and I didn't see any suspicious people.

When asked about the whereabouts of Qian Zhu's wife and children, a neighbor said: "Yesterday morning, I saw their family going out, and there was a sign on the door saying 'Visit relatives, open in the afternoon', so I casually asked 'Where are you going'. His child said to go to his grandmother's house. Qian Zhu and his wife greeted us and did not deny it. How about you go to Qian Zhu's wife's natal house to see?"

Chu Xiaoyun asked the neighbor if he knew where Qian Zhu's father-in-law lived, and the neighbor gave a general name of the place: "I only know the general area, but I don't know the specifics. You have to ask when you get there."

"Okay, thank you."

Chu Xiaoyun thanked the neighbor, and led them to the direction of Qian Zhu's wife's natal home.

The centurion of the guard battalion followed him for a while and couldn't help asking: "His wife went back to her mother's house yesterday, what's the use of finding his wife?"

Chu Xiaoyun responded lightly: "It's useful or not, we'll talk about it when we find it. Besides, Qian Zhu is dead, why don't you bring his wife to collect his body?"

The centurion was stopped by this question and didn't say anything.

On the way to Qian Zhu's wife's natal home, Chu Xiaoyun's mind was full of thoughts.Qian Zhu's wife and children returned to her natal home yesterday, so they should be safe; Chu Xiaoyun was relieved.However, as the centurion asked, if his wife was not at home yesterday, would it help the case?The neighbors did not hear any other movement or witness any suspicious persons last night, and there was no clue in this case for a while.For now, the only way to go back is to persuade Yu He to tell the reason why he came near Qian Zhu's house last night, and to find witnesses and material evidence, so as to clear up the suspicion.

Chu Xiaoyun thought all the way, and was startled by a pleasantly surprised voice.

"Brother, I didn't expect to meet you on the street today."

Chu Xiaoyun looked up and saw that it was Wang Sanqiang.

Wang Sanqiang didn't wait for Chu Xiaoyun to open his mouth, and said again, "You woke me up in the middle of the night to feed you chickens early this morning. Why is it so urgent?"

As he spoke, he looked around and saw the people from the guard battalion, he was suddenly surprised: "Wow, why are there still people from the guard camp? Why are you patrolling the streets with them?"

"Who are you? Is it your turn to inquire about the affairs of the Gongmen?" The guard battalion yelled at Wang Sanqiang.

"This is my brother, he didn't inquire about the affairs of the Gongmen." Chu Xiaoyun was dissatisfied with the people in the guard camp and yelled at Wang Sanqiang, defending.

After hearing this, Wang Sanqiang murmured: "Brother, it's better for you to partner with Brother Yu."

The centurion's ears were pointed, and he smiled and said, "Brother Yu? Are you talking about Yu He? He's already in prison, and I'm afraid he won't have the chance to patrol the streets in the future."

When Wang Sanqiang heard this, he almost jumped up in shock: "Brother, what's going on? What's wrong with Brother Yu?"

Then, as if remembering something, he said to the centurion with a look of contempt: "You are lying, I saw him at the Tongfu Inn the morning before yesterday."

After these words were processed and recognized in Chu Xiaoyun's mind, they reached his consciousness, and Chu Xiaoyun was startled that something was wrong.

Wasn't the day before yesterday the day after the Dry Bones incident, the day Yu He's father returned to Yunling County?That morning, Yu He's itinerary should be to pick up his father from the post house and send him out of the city.What did he do at Tongfu Inn?

Realizing this, Chu Xiaoyun calmed down the fluctuation in his heart, and asked, "What did you see him going to Tongfu Inn?"

Wang Sanqiang tilted his head and thought for a while: "Going to the inn is of course staying in the inn. I saw him go in with an older man. What did the innkeeper say, and then I heard the innkeeper say to Xiaoer 'A guest room, take these two guest officers up'. I wanted to go in and say hello to him, but that day I was pulling a cart of bamboo materials to the workshop, so I couldn't leave, so I didn't say hello."

"He's staying in a hotel with an older man?" Chu Xiaoyun asked suspiciously, "Are you reading that right? What does that old man look like?"

Following Wang Sanqiang's description, Chu Xiaoyun's heart sank a little bit.That old man was clearly Yu He's father, he was going back to Yunling County that day, why did Yu He pick him up from the post house, and then went to live in the inn?Yu He clearly told him that his father had already returned to Yunling!

Before Chu Xiaoyun could figure out the connection, the centurion snorted coldly at the side: "Does this Yu He have any accomplices? Chief Chu knows who that person is?"

Before Chu Xiaoyun could think of what to say, the centurion said to his subordinates: "Go to Tongfu Inn quickly, don't let people run away."

Except for the two people in the guard camp who continued to follow Chu Xiaoyun, the rest turned around and ran all the way to the Tongfu Inn.

Wang Sanqiang was taken aback by this scene: "Brother, did something really happen to Brother Yu?"

Seeing this, Chu Xiaoyun ignored Wang Sanqiang, and said to his subordinates: "The first team will go to Qian Zhu's wife's natal house, and they must take Zhouquan back to the county government office, and the other team will follow me to the Tongfu Inn. quick!"

Chu Xiaoyun led the people to the Tongfu Inn.

The centurion has already gone to the Tongfu Inn, where they already have people.The two people left in the guard camp followed a team of arresters to Qian Zhu's wife's natal home after the arresters split up.

Chu Xiaoyun ran a few steps over there, remembered Wang Sanqiang, turned around and said, "Don't worry about this matter!"

Chu Xiaoyun led his men in hot pursuit all the way, and finally arrived at the Tongfu Inn at the same time as the guards.A large group of policemen and soldiers rushed into the inn, scaring the people in the inn into silence. Many people fled the inn after seeing no one to stop them after the initial fright.

The innkeeper was taken aback by a group of soldiers and police officers who rushed in suddenly, but his years of business experience made him put on a smile and stepped forward to greet him.

Chu Xiaoyun described Yu He's father's appearance to the innkeeper who came to welcome him, and asked, "Did a policeman bring this old man here the morning before yesterday?"

The innkeeper was a little confused, all the polite words he had prepared were useless, and it took a while to realize: "Yes, there is such a person..."

Without waiting for the innkeeper to speak, the centurion asked: "Which room do they live in? Hurry up, if this person runs away because of your delay, your inn will definitely be implicated."

"Second floor, B store..." The shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn flipped through the account book and replied, "May I ask what happened to the guest officer? All the guests who dined in my shop have run away. This loss... "

The centurion led people up the stairs early on, so he would not answer the innkeeper's words, only Chu Xiaoyun kindly said: "The yamen handles the case, don't worry about it."

Immediately, he also went up to the second floor. The door of the room B on the second floor was already wide open, and the centurion came out angrily: "Damn, people ran away. I didn't even have time to collect this luggage. I ran fast enough." ah!"

Seeing Chu Xiaoyun coming up, he said, "Go back and let the county government issue a reward notice."

Chu Xiaoyun ignored him and checked the room carefully.The iconic toolbox of Yu He's father as a master is placed on the table. It is undoubtedly Yu He's father who lives in this room.Looking at the rest of the things, they are all scattered. It seems that they are not running away in a hurry, but going out. "

Seeing the situation inside the house, Chu Xiaoyun said to the policeman who followed him: "Set up surveillance positions inside and outside the store, and when Uncle Yu comes back, you must treat him with courtesy and don't be rude. Go out and close the door .”

The policemen responded and left.Soon, at the arresting room, Chu Xiaoyun was the only one left in the room.

The centurion, who was about to leave, took back his steps: "How do you know that people will come back after running away?"

Chu Xiaoyun didn't bother to pay attention to him, sat down on the recliner in the room, shook the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The centurion was very angry, seeing that Chu Xiaoyun would not leave, he also stayed behind.He also asked his subordinates to go to control, and then imitated Chu Xiaoyun to find a chair and sit on it.But there is only one reclining chair in this room, so he can only sit on other chairs, which is naturally not as comfortable as Chu Xiaoyun half lying down.

The door of the house was closed. In the room where Yu He's father lived, a county government arrester and a guard battalion centurion were waiting.
