Go to ancient times to catch fast

Chu Xiaoyun didn't give anyone a chance to stop him, he stretched out his hand to remove the gauze, and the wound gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

Apart from the main wound, there were indeed some small wounds around the gauze-wrapped area on the patient's leg, which seemed to be caused by friction, not as smooth as a knife wound.

Chu Xiaoyun threw away the gauze, and looked at the patient's head again: "Why are you still wearing a hat in this hot weather? You're sweating."

The old farmer hurried over to wrap the gauze that Chu Xiaoyun threw away on his son, and while wrapping it up, he replied: "The head was also injured at that time. The doctor said to wear a hat to prevent touching the wound, so as to facilitate recovery."

The old farmer's rhetoric and the current findings are not enough to be questioned. Chu Xiaoyun can't help but doubt himself, whether he made a mistake.

He raised his head and looked around, and suddenly thought of another suspicious point: "Where are your female relatives?"

This family has only seen the father and son since they entered the door. Where did the women in their family go?

"The old lady and daughter-in-law just went to the river to wash clothes." The old farmer replied, "There used to be a well in the yard, but this year's severe drought, the well in the yard can't get water..."

Everything seemed to make sense.

"Take good care of the patient, bothering..."

Chu Xiaoyun was about to say goodbye to others, when a policeman ran in panting, "Boss, boss, there is indeed a corpse under the bamboo forest that has been dead for a few days. It's just that it's been a little long, the corpse has rotted, and the face has already been recognized. No male or female..."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Chu Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to his son who was lying on the bed stretched out like a carp, got up from the bed with a grunt, and went out through the window.The agility of skills is not at all what a patient should perform, even for ordinary normal people, it is rare to see such good skills.

The old farmer beside him also wanted to run, but he was a little late, and Chu Xiaoyun, who had reacted, grabbed him back from the window.

The police outside the house heard the movement inside and chased after him, and some people followed him out.Chu Xiaoyun threw the old man to his subordinates who chased into the house, and chased him out himself.But it was still a step too late, in the sea of ​​rice and blue waves outside us, the figure of that person had disappeared.

"I didn't expect this kid to run so fast." A policeman said angrily.

The other party lives here and is quite familiar with the terrain here, but it must take some effort to escape from the eyes of the police in such a short period of time.

I was careless!

Chu Xiaoyun ordered someone to go back to the county government office to pass on the message to arrest the fugitive, while he himself returned to the main house of the farmhouse.At this time, the old farmer had already been taken to the main room by the remaining police officers to kneel down.

"Tell me, who is that corpse in the bamboo forest?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"The old man doesn't know." Facing Chu Xiaoyun again, the old farmer no longer had the obedient and respectful look he had before.

Chu Xiaoyun looked at him: "Isn't it your son who is lying on the bed? Otherwise, why would he leave his old father and run away. He ran away, and if he can't be caught, you will be responsible for everything."

There was a look of hesitation in the old farmer's eyes.

Chu Xiaoyun took advantage of the fire and said, "The body has been found in your yard. If you can't explain the problem clearly, you can't get rid of the crime. Don't think that nothing will happen if you don't open your mouth."

As if he had made up his mind, the old farmer burst into tears and kowtowed to confess his guilt: "Master, Lord, the little old man is wronged, the little old man is wronged. People, people, I really didn't kill them."

Chu Xiaoyun touched his chin suspiciously and looked at the old farmer who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly: "What is going on, please explain clearly."

"Yes." Then the old farmer stopped crying, "A traveler knocked on our door that night, saying that it was too late to make it to the closed city gate and entered the city, and wanted to spend the night. It’s not easy to travel outside these years, so we agreed to his stay. We welcomed him into the house and prepared food and drinks for him. As a result, he got drunk and accidentally stepped on the scattered soybeans on the ground, hitting the back of his head on the stone mill Come on, I lost my breath at that time."

The old farmer was very sad and helpless as he said: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is no outsider present. How can this kind of thing be explained clearly? Our family was scared to death. When we came back to our senses, the family decided after discussion. Let’s just bury him quietly. Anyway, the family members of those who are walking outside don’t know where they are... The messenger, it’s because we were afraid for a while, and we didn’t report to the police because we were obsessed with ghosts... But we really didn’t kill the person, and I hope the messenger will find out... ..."

The old farmer howled again.

"Stop howling, talk carefully, or I will punish you for contempt of the government first." The old man was so good at howling, Chu Xiaoyun frowned and said, "If that's the case, what did you run away just now? Lying on the hospital bed Who is that person? Why did you pretend to be sick?"

"This man died in my house, and I didn't report to the police at that time. How can I say it clearly. Hearing other servants say that the body was dug up, don't you feel scared and want to run away?" The old farmer was still afraid of Chu Xiao Yun became angry, tried his best to stop his crying and replied, "That man is indeed my son. We have said it before, if the government finds out something, let him go first. There are still people in the family who want him to support. He It's not pretending to be sick, you have also seen the poor man, the injury he went up the mountain to collect firewood is a real deal, but it's not that serious."

Hearing from the old farmer that there are still people in his family who need him to support him, Chu Xiaoyun stared at him and asked, "Where did your family members go?"

The old farmer paused for a moment, and said calmly: "Master, I'm telling you the truth. After my family's female relatives had an accident, we sent them to relatives' homes. If someone died in the family, women and children were also afraid."

"Where do relatives live?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"Qing, Qingzhou Prefecture." The old farmer replied.

This is quite far away, Chu Xiaoyun looked at the other party suspiciously.

The old farmer hurriedly said: "Really, it is true, it is really in Qingzhou Prefecture. The address, oh, yes, I will write you the address."

Chu Xiaoyun signaled his subordinates to find the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the old farmer's house, and the old farmer wrote down an address on the paper and handed it to Chu Xiaoyun: "The messenger will send someone to check here."

Chu Xiaoyun took the address and passed it to the subordinate next to him: "Rewrite it again, go here to check."

After sending away the subordinates who went to Qingzhou to check the whereabouts of the old farmer's family, Chu Xiaoyun asked, "Where did he die?"

"Huh?" The old farmer was taken aback by the question.

"The guest staying overnight." Chu Xiaoyun added.

"Oh, the stove, the stove!" The old farmer hurriedly said, "I, shall I take you there?"

Chu Xiaoyun motioned to the subordinate beside him: "Lead the way."

The subordinates who got the signal escorted the old farmer to the kitchen.

"Here. This is where the guests knocked and lost their breath." The old farmer pointed to the stone mill by the door of the kitchen and said.After speaking, he peeked at Chu Xiaoyun out of the corner of his eye.

Chu Xiaoyun looked around the kitchen.Open the door to enter the kitchen, and there is indeed a stone mill on the wall next to the door, and a dining table next to the stone mill.On the opposite side of the door is the stove, and in the innermost part of the stove are cupboards, wooden barrels and water tanks for storage.Chu Xiaoyun looked at it, and with this arrangement, if the deceased really got up from eating and fell, he might fall and knock on the stone mill.

He walked over and bent down to touch the place the old farmer pointed to. The stone mill had obviously been washed by water, and now it looked brand new, with no trace of blood at all.

Chu Xiaoyun withdrew his hand and stood up straight, and said to the arrested old farmer: "What is the truth about this matter? It's not just based on your red lips and white teeth. We will naturally investigate."

He said and gestured to the two subordinates who were guarding the old farmer: "Bring him back to the county government office! Please come here."

"Master, what I said, old man, is true, true!" the old farmer howled again.

"Yes." Two police officers led the howling old farmer to leave.

With the old farmer gone, the farmyard finally quieted down, Chu Xiaoyun rubbed his ears, and finally he didn't have to suffer for his ears.Chu Xiaoyun said to one of the two remaining subordinates beside him: "Go to Wei's house and let Wei Yuan come to identify him."

The appointed policeman led the way.

A large group of subordinates brought out in the morning, now only one person is left with him in this small farmyard.Chu Xiaoyun said to the man: "Go to that bamboo bush and look at the corpse, I'll look around."

"Yes." The only remaining subordinate around him also bowed and left.

All the people left.Chu Xiaoyun walked into the kitchen, and then left the kitchen, wandering around the farmhouse.

This is a small courtyard that looks like any other farmhouse, with its back facing the Red River and facing the county town a little to the left.The yard is fenced with bamboo fencing.Entering the courtyard gate is a spacious courtyard dam, the innermost part of the courtyard is three wooden houses, and the left side is two wing rooms.They are the stove room and the firewood room that I went in just now, but I didn't see a place to raise livestock.

Chu Xiaoyun went around the house, walked to the back of the house, and saw the window that was trampled down by the old farmer's son just now.He followed along the footprints left behind, except for a paddy field outside and a corn field behind the house.The footprints went into the cornfield.

Seeing the cornfield, Chu Xiaoyun recalled the incident of being assassinated by a man in black in the cornfield in Fangchuan County when he went to Gyeongju Prefecture last year.This cornfield has become a hiding place for assassins and a hiding place for suspects to escape.

.The footprints disappeared when they entered the cornfield. The weather was so dry that there was no water vapor on the ground, and there was no trace of footsteps on it.Chu Xiaoyun followed by relying on his own observation of the traces of the corn stalks and leaves.After leaving the corn field, in the rice field not far from the corn field, a rice seedling was found with traces of being pressed.

Presumably it was the place where the man hibernated in the rice field to avoid being chased by the policemen when he ran away.

Prove he guessed right.

Chu Xiaoyun originally thought that when he came out of the corn field, the man must have fled to the right facing the Red River.That is the fastest way away from the county, and it should be the choice of fugitives.But Chu Xiaoyun was surprised to find that the suspect hibernated in the rice field based on the damage marks of the rice seedlings left in the rice field. That is, face the left direction of the Red River, and then flee forward.

The direction of escape is the direction of the county!

This is a bit confusing.Don't ordinary people always want to stay far away from the city when they commit crimes? Why do some people throw themselves into the trap?

But no matter what this person thinks, since he threw himself into the trap, it would be much easier to go back and catch him.

Discovering the direction the suspect was fleeing from, Chu Xiaoyun turned back and walked around the entire yard.He found that many places in the yard and the house were well-groomed, but it could still be seen from some details that this family was not what it is now, it was a very particular family.The reason for such cleaning is presumably to cover up the traces of the dead.Other than that, there should be no other reason.

Now that the body has been found, we are waiting for Wei Yuan to come to identify the body and confirm its identity.
