"Hey! It's quite a distance from the place where the two rivers converge!" Song Wuya saw the two rivers flowing from north to south and east from a distance, and bypassed the small town to return to the east of the city.
Yesterday, they went to the place where the two rivers converge in the east of the city and found the female corpse.Today, however, he came to a place in the completely opposite direction.
Entering the village, Song Wuya didn't see many people, and he stopped again at the east end of the village.
There is a courtyard in front of me, the courtyard walls have already collapsed, and many of the courtyard walls that collapsed and had gaps were covered by debris, probably to prevent children or livestock from entering.
"This yard has been abandoned for some years!" Song Wuya wondered in his heart, and looked inside.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds and all kinds of debris are piled up. The house inside is not bad, but it is also dilapidated.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
A sudden shout made Song Wuya startled, and he hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
The man couldn't wait to ask another question, and walked towards Song Wuya quickly.And Song Wuya looked at this person with a strange expression on his face.The person here is an old man, I didn't expect him to know him.This old man is none other than the old fish seller he saw on the street yesterday morning.
If the county magistrate hadn't found the body yesterday, it is estimated that the old man is still in prison.
"Master, you don't know me anymore?" Song Wuya looked at the old man and asked kindly with a smile on his face.
The old man came to the front, squinted his eyes and looked Song Wuya up and down, frowned and said: "I have a little impression, that kid who bought fish yesterday! What does this have to do with what I asked you? What are you doing here?"
The old man recognized Song Wuya, and he couldn't help but question Song Wuya again.
"This..." Song Wuya was a little taken aback by the old fish seller's reaction. He looked at the old man in surprise and hesitated for a long time before finally explaining his intention. "I just have nothing to do, wandering around, isn't this the end here?"
"It's here? It's so simple?" The old fish seller didn't care about his previous feelings, and treated Song Wuya like a thief. His eyes looked at Song Wuya up and down, full of disbelief.
How else could Song Wuya explain this?Could it be that he came here to solve the case?This obviously doesn't make sense, but why does this strange old man in front of him make him feel so helpless?
"Then what else can we do?" Song Wuya smiled wryly, seeing the old man in front of him, and explained helplessly.
"Why did I look at you just now, as if I wanted to enter this yard?" The old man seemed to see clearly, as if he had seen through Song Wuya's mind.
"I didn't mean that! What do you mean by that, old man? Could it be that you're sure you're a thief?" Song Wuya immediately retorted, absolutely never admitting such a thing.
The old fish seller frowned, looked at Song Wuya firmly and said, "Do you think I don't know anything?"
What the old man said was very ambiguous, even Song Wuya couldn't figure out what he wanted to express.
"What are you going to say?" Song Wuya frowned and asked, he felt that the old man seemed to know what he was doing here.
The old man didn't answer, but raised his eyes and looked into the dilapidated courtyard.
"You're an outsider, what are you looking at? Leave quickly!" the old fish seller said fiercely, staring straight at Song Wuya, as if he was waiting for Song Wuya to leave.
Looking at this situation, Song Wuya didn't know what to say.He didn't expect to meet this old man here, and this eccentric old man turned out to be so tough at this moment.
Seeing that the old man wanted to drive him away, Song Wuya didn't receive any goods during this trip.Song Wuya didn't want to just make this trip for nothing, so he simply looked at the old man and asked in a deep voice, "Master, did someone die here more than ten years ago?"
The old fish seller's face was obviously startled, and his eyes showed horror. He looked at Song Wuya viciously, his eyes were full of killing intent.
This is the first time Song Wuya has seen such eyes, the fierce eyes make people feel chills down the spine.
"What are you doing first?" The old fish seller asked fiercely and loudly.
Song Wuya still calmly said: "It's not because I'm idle and bored, I want to use the case more than ten years ago as a recreation, but recently I heard that there were many dead people, but I couldn't catch the murderer in the end, I feel very angry in my heart, so I want to We must fight against injustice. And according to my calculations, the murderer must be someone from this village! The uncle is so nervous, is there some secret hidden in his heart?"
At this moment, the situation changed completely, and Song Wuya questioned the old fish seller.The old man's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, as if he had been hit by Song Wuya's words, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The confrontation between the two of them here has been seen by others in the village, and they have gathered here now.
"Master Er Kuan, what happened? Where did this young man come from?"
Seeing the appearance of Song Wuya and the old fish seller, the surrounding villagers couldn't help being puzzled, so they asked a question.
When a strong man asked such a question, Song Wuya was startled.
"Er Kuan!" He was shocked, because this name happened to be the protagonist in the story told by the shop's waiter.Song Wuya couldn't help thinking to himself: "Isn't this too coincidental? This is too much of a coincidence!"
After hearing this name, Song Wuya found a breakthrough. I am afraid that no one knows better than him what happened back then. Perhaps he should remember such things clearly.
The old fish seller turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who spoke: "Village chief, this kid wants to enter this yard."
"Young man, no one has lived in this yard for a long time, and there is nothing in it. What are you doing in there?" The village chief looked at Song Wuya suspiciously after hearing what the old man said.
Song Wuya shook his head: "Village chief, you're overthinking, I'm just passing by here, just a moment of curiosity, it's nothing."
"Curiosity? Our village is just as big as a slap in the face. What are you curious about?" The village chief also asked perseveringly.
Song Wuya really wanted to investigate clearly. Are all the people in their village like this?
Being forced to this matter, Song Wuya definitely couldn't directly explain why he came here. If things were really as he thought, and the murderer was in this village back then, then things would be troublesome.Didn't it just happen to be known by the murderer when I said that?
"Hey! Since the village chief insists on asking like this, then I can only tell the truth!" Song Wuya sighed helplessly and said such words.
Hearing this, Er Kuan's expression suddenly became tense, and his eyes were fixed on Song Wuya.
Song Wuya noticed Er Kuan's nervousness. After all, Song Wuya's words had been made very clear. If the murderer was really from their village, he might be among the people in front of him.If Song Wuya directly stated that he was here to investigate a case more than ten years ago, he might be alarmed.
"I don't know if you guys know about the murder that happened in the city yesterday? A female corpse was found in the river where the two rivers converged. After being killed, the female corpse was tied up with heavy objects and thrown into the river " Song Wuya could only use what happened yesterday as a cover.After saying this, he turned his head to look at Er Kuan, and the tense expression on Er Kuan's face relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "And the reason why this case was discovered is entirely because of this uncle!"
Song Wuya pointed the matter at Erkuan, which surprised the villagers and turned their heads to look at him.
"Don't talk nonsense! This Erkuan uncle has become a lot weirder since what happened back then, but his character is obvious to all in the village. He is absolutely impossible to commit murder!" The middle-aged man, the village chief, heard Song Wuya immediately explained nervously what he said.
Song Wuya ignored this, and waved his hand: "Village chief, don't worry, haven't I finished what I said? I didn't say that this matter was done by Er Kuan, otherwise, how could I come here by myself?" What? If he is the murderer, he will be the yamen servant. The reason why I say this is because I bought a fish from Er Kuan yesterday and found a piece of finger in the belly of the fish. That's why I discovered this. A murder case!"
When everyone heard Song Wuya's explanation, they breathed a sigh of relief, probably they didn't expect such a situation.
The expression on Er Kuan's face changed, and he frowned: "What did you say? There is a human finger in the belly of that fish?"
This expression was something Song Wuya had never seen on his weird face.Seeing him being so serious, Song Wuya immediately nodded and admitted: "That's right, that's what happened. In fact, when I came here today, I just wanted to ask you, Er Kuan, where exactly those fish were caught. "
"What does this have to do with the case? Haven't you already found the body? Why do you still ask me?" Er Kuan was very uncooperative at this time, and asked Song Wuya coldly.
How should Song Wuya explain it? This is another troublesome matter. With so many eyes staring at him, what he said is a little bit wrong, and if he is not sure, he will be discovered by others. If he asks other questions at that time, then it will be terrible. It's troublesome.
Song Wuya thought about it in his heart, and he decided to let it go, and said directly: "You don't want to cooperate, this is what the county magistrate, Mr. Qin, asked me to ask. It is also because I thought that this case has nothing to do with you, That's why I, who is not in the officialdom, are allowed to ask, otherwise Master Qin would come to ask in person, but I would not be as polite as I am now."

?Chapter 397 to explore the details
This was considered a threat, and the expression on the village chief's face suddenly became awkward. Obviously, after Song Wuya said this, he didn't feel like wading into this muddy water.
