Daming King of Punishment

Page 368

"Two servants, is your county magistrate there?" Bai Zhuo asked the two of them politely.

The yamen servant probably knew Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, and when Bai Zhuo asked him this, he was very polite.

"My lords, what a coincidence! A corpse was just found outside the city, and my lord has just left the county government office for half an hour!!" The yamen servant frowned and said helplessly.

His words shocked Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

"Found another corpse?" Song Wuya hurriedly asked about the situation. "Is it a male corpse or a female corpse?"

"I don't know about this little one. I won't know until the adults come back." The yamen servant couldn't answer this question.

Song Wuya frowned, and at this moment, he found a new corpse, and he didn't know if it was a male corpse or a female corpse.I don't know if it has anything to do with this recent case.

After all, the body was in the suburbs, and he might have just arrived at the scene of the crime in half an hour. It would take at least two hours to get back. It seemed that when the county magistrate Qin Ke came back, it would already be dark.

Song Wuya didn't have the patience to waste it, immediately frowned, and asked the yamen servant: "Then do you know where Master Qin went?"

"Should have gone to a village in the west!" The yamen servant knew this and told Song Wuya directly.

Hearing this, Song Wuya suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and immediately said to Bai Zhuo: "Let's go there immediately to see how the situation is! This village is where the murder happened more than ten years ago. It came from this direction."

"Huh! Mr. Song, you actually know about the case more than ten years ago? I didn't expect you to know everything about our small town clearly enough after you came here a few days ago!" The yamen servant standing beside the two of them , naturally heard the conversation between the two of them, suddenly smiled and said jokingly. "I don't know if you know, my lord. The three male corpses that were all covered with women's clothes that were discovered after this year are related to that case back then! Perhaps the murderer of that case back then was among these three people!"

"We also eavesdropped on it when we were listening to the people on the street talking about it. I didn't expect the elder brother of the yamen servant to know about this!" After Song Wuya heard what the yamen servant said, he began to look at the yamen servant in front of him seriously.He really doesn't have much impression of this person, but this person seems to be in his early forties.

Seeing this, Song Wuya suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately asked: "Then the yamen servant brother, but you have been an official servant for more than 20 years?"

"Hey! Young master is really insightful! You are right. I became a government servant when I was a weak crown, and I have been doing it until now. I just finished No. 19 thoughts this year. The one 16 years ago The small case is still clearly remembered." The yamen servant talked about himself, and also mentioned the case back then.

Until now, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo knew that the case happened 16 years ago.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. The two of us won't chat with him anymore. We have something urgent to go to the county magistrate, so let's take our leave first!"

After leaving the county government, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo went straight to the west of the city.After a short time, they arrived at the village that Song Wuya had just visited yesterday.

No one could be seen on the street, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo entered the village and continued to walk inside.

Soon they found some people blocked outside a yard.

"Give way, everyone! Make way, everyone!" Bai Zhuo walked to the front, pulled the crowd and squeezed in.

Entering the yard, the two saw Qin Ke.

"Master Qin! Master Qin!" Bai Zhuo shouted loudly, which soon caught Qin Ke's attention.

Qin Ke saw the two of them, and immediately greeted the yamen servants at the side, and those yamen servants came over to allow Song Wuya and Bai Zhuoan to come in safely.

Looking at the two of them, Qin Ke had a very strange expression on his face.

"The news of the two young masters is really well-informed! This county is here on the front foot, and you are on the back foot!" Qin Ke looked at the two of them, and after joking with a smile, he didn't wait for them to give him an explanation. But he asked another question that he was curious about. "Why do I feel that the two sons are very interested in the case in our small county! Could it be that the two sons have some purpose? Or, like the county, they are also members of the family?"

Qin Ke's words made Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo extremely embarrassed. They looked at each other, thinking about how to answer this question.

Their identities actually aroused Qin Ke's suspicion, which is not a good thing.

Bai Zhuo could tell that Song Wuya didn't want to expose their identities so early, so he couldn't admit this issue.

"Master Qin is really good at joking! It's really a coincidence that we came here this time. Because the two of us just found an important clue in the morning, so we rushed to report to you, Mr. Qin!" Bai Zhuo He explained a sentence with a smile, and at the same time acknowledged what Qin Ke said just now. "However, Mr. Bai has to admire Master Qin's insight. What you said is true. Brother Wu Ya and I are writing a novel. The subject is reasoning and solving crimes. How can you not be curious about the case, if it can be solved and written in a book, it will definitely be loved by people!"

"Oh? So that's the case!" Qin Ke was very pleasantly surprised, obviously Bai Zhuo's answer surprised him a little. "I didn't expect the two sons to have such elegant hobbies, and I don't know how far your writing is. Can I let the county go through it first?"

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you, Mr. Qin! Our book is just a mess! It hasn't been edited yet, so there is no way to satisfy your wish!" Bai Zhuo spread his hands helplessly, indicating that there is no way to do this book Show him.

But after Bai Zhuo said this, Song Wuya saw that Qin Ke didn't show any disappointment on his face.It seems that the reason why he said that just now was nothing more than a tentative sentence, he didn't believe what Bai Zhuo said at all.

From this, Song Wuya couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Huh! It seems that Qin Ke has doubts about the identities of the two of us! Maybe he has already guessed it!"

The reason why Song Wuya felt that Qin Ke had already guessed the identities of the two of them was that when they first met Qin Ke, Qin Ke had talked about his official career.An official who cares so much about his official career must be very concerned about the affairs of the court. It is estimated that the identities of Song Wuya and the others cannot be hidden at all.

"Master Qin, why did someone die again? Is it the same as the three corpses last time?" Bai Zhuo seemed to have seen this too, so he didn't dwell on this topic any longer, and just skipped asking the question in front of him. The case comes.

Qin Ke paused for a moment, looked at the two of them and said, "A widowed old man died, and his age is estimated to be 60 years old!"

"Old man?" Bai Zhuo was taken aback, "It seems that among the three corpses before, the oldest one was only in his early forties, why is it a 60-year-old old man this time?"

Bai Zhuo's words were full of doubts, which made Qin Ke depressed, and he frowned: "Could it be that Mr. Bai thinks there is a rule for this murderer to kill people? Do you want to avoid the dead?"

"Master Qin, you still don't know that the two brothers and I came to look for you today precisely because we may have found a commonality among the three victims killed by the murderer. And this commonality rarely appears in an old man. on the old man." Hearing Qin Ke's doubts, Bai Zhuo immediately explained something to him.

Qin Ke just nodded, and then said: "I haven't finished my sentence yet, Mr. Bai must have been too impatient! Although the dead man was an old man, it seems that he has nothing to do with the three male corpses before. "

"Oh? How do you say that? Could it be that the way of death is different?" Bai Zhuo got to the point right away.

After looking at Qin Ke and nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief.Song Wuya walked forward a few steps, looked at Qin Ke and bowed his hands.

"Master Qin, can I let you take a look at the scene?"

"It's nothing to look at! It's just an old man committing suicide!" Although Qin Ke didn't reject Song Wuya directly, didn't he just tell Song Wuya not to watch it in a tactful way?

Hearing these words, Song Wuya didn't feel much at all, after all, this place was Qin Ke's territory, before they revealed their identities, they had to accommodate him in everything.

Song Wuya frowned, looked inside, but couldn't see anything, so he sighed.

"My lord! My lord!" Suddenly, when Song Wuya was helpless, a loud cry came.

But seeing a middle-aged man rushing over, Song Wuya looked at the person and was suddenly overjoyed: "What is the village chief doing in such a hurry? Who is the old man who died in this room?"

Chapter 400 Getting Connected

?Chapter 400 Connected

The middle-aged man who came was none other than the head of the village that Song Wuya met yesterday.

The village chief was also taken aback when he saw Song Wuya, pointed at Song Wuya, frowned, and immediately laughed.

"So it's this young master!" The village chief stepped forward to greet Song Wuya politely. The reason for this was because Song Wuya said yesterday that he came here at the request of Qin Ke, the county magistrate. Asking about things wide.Now that he saw Song Wuya standing beside Qin Ke with an unrestrained expression, he immediately knew in his heart that Song Wuya was not talking nonsense, and he really had something to do with the county magistrate. "It's really a coincidence that you said that, my son, you just came here yesterday to look for Uncle Erkuan, but Uncle Erkuan committed suicide at home today! Isn't this too coincidental?"

The speaker had no intention of listening, but the village chief had just finished speaking when Qin Ke looked at Song Wuya.

"So, did Mr. Song know the deceased?" Qin Ke looked at Song Wuya indifferently and asked.

Song Wuya had no choice but to admit this.

"That's right! My lord still remembers the female corpse that was discovered the day before yesterday! The fish where the severed finger was found was bought from the deceased." Song Wuya knew that Qin Ke was suspicious of him when he asked this question. Naturally, a reasonable explanation must be given.

Of course, Song Wuya's explanation was very reasonable, but it only explained his relationship with the deceased Erkuan, but it didn't explain his purpose of coming here to find Erkuan.

"Then why did Mr. Song come here to look for the deceased?" Qin Ke did not let Song Wuya go, and continued to ask.
