After sending Luo Xiaoer home first, they returned to Nankai City.After returning to Nankai City, Song Wuya immediately bid farewell to those yamen servants.
Inside the inn, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were already waiting for him to come back.
"I went all day today, are you hungry now?" Seeing Song Wuya came back, Situ Wen didn't ask about the status of the case, but asked if he was hungry.
Song Wuya shook his head: "It's not too hungry after some dry food at noon, but it's time to eat."
After a busy day, Song Wuya wasn't particularly hungry, but after walking for a day, his legs had already started to feel weak. What he wanted most at this moment was to rest.
"Then you can go back to the room and let Xiao Er deliver the things to the room." Situ Wen said caringly.
Song Wuya nodded, and the three returned to Song Wuya's room.
"Is there anything wrong with the inn today?" Song Wuya asked this because of that lunatic.
Situ Wen shook her head: "We don't know about this, we all went out today, and we also ate outside at noon."
"Then did you find anything?" Song Wuya knew that Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were inquiring for information in the city, but he didn't know what they found out.
However, Situ Wen immediately shook his head to disappoint him.
It can be seen that the closed nature of this case is not small, and a lot of news has never been revealed.Even after entering the government, Song Wuya did not gain much useful value.Moreover, neither the yamen servants nor the magistrate Han Jin can be relied on, and they have no useful records at all.
"Hey! This Han Jin is really unreliable, there are many clues he didn't grasp." Song Wuya immediately started to complain, Situ Wen helped him take off his shoes, and Xiaohuan brought the footwashing water after a while.After Situ Wen carefully tested the water temperature, she soaked Song Wuya's feet in it.
This kind of enjoyment is really beyond words.After walking for a day, these two feet have long been smelly, and my legs are sore, which is really choking.Being soaked in hot water at this moment, I feel a lot more relaxed.
"I'll do it myself." Although he had been with Situ Wen for a long time, Song Wuya still felt a little embarrassed to ask Situ Wen to wash his feet, so he immediately held Situ Wen's beautiful hand and said.
Situ Wen raised her head and gave him a resentful look: "What? Do you despise me?"
"No, no, I just don't want to make you so tired. After all, you and Xiaohuan have been out all day." Song Wuya didn't mean that, and he didn't want Situ Wen to misunderstand, so he immediately explained.
He explained this way, but Situ Wen didn't bother to pay attention to what he said, broke away from Song Wuya's hand, and started to wash.
"Go on, why is Han Jin so unreliable?" Situ Wen asked while rubbing Song Wuya's feet.
"Today, I took the yamen servants and went to the section of the Xishan official road. From the place where the body was found and the clues I found, I speculated that I found the first crime scene. Eight heads and some bloody clothes were found there. Outside of this , I learned that none of the corpses they found had heads. Not only that, but eight people threw the corpses at that time, and on the ground at the first scene, I found the footprints of ten people. Obviously this is The two extra people are the other two insiders among the eight dead." Song Wuya began to tell Situ Wen and Xiaohuan about today's discovery.
"Is there such a thing? All the corpses found have no heads? Did the murderer bury them all? Then why?" Situ Wen immediately asked several questions in confusion.
Song Wuya explained these questions together: "Whether all the heads were buried by the murderer, there is no way to prove this. We only found eight, that is, the eight corpses corresponding to the first murder case. As for this Why, I think it may be to cover up the identities of these people. In addition, in the other three scenes, we found a lot of forged traces, which were obviously deliberately done by fierce beasts, but no other heads were found in those scenes buried traces."
No heads were found in the other scenes. Song Wuya was also thinking about this question. What were the murderers thinking? Why did the first eight heads be buried, and the burial was so obvious, and the subsequent heads disappeared. Did they become alert and buried farther?
"The scene was faked?" Situ Wen exclaimed, stopped what she was doing, looked up at Song Wuya and asked in confusion, "How is it faked?"
"Whether it's the bloodstains or the footprints of the so-called god generals left on the ground, they are all fake." Song Wuya continued: "Besides, I suspect that they did this because they wanted to cover up the footprints they left on the scene with bloodstains." Come down the trace."
"Then are there any other discoveries?" Situ Wen continued to ask.
Song Wuya shook his head: "There are no other discoveries. I need to go to the government office tomorrow to see the bodies of the deceased and the physical evidence left behind. Only after comparing them can I confirm other inferences."
Much has been discovered, but little progress has been made.So far, they have not been able to find out how many murderers there are, and whether they left the scene and entered the dense forest of Xishan directly.Maybe the old village head knows where the treasure is, but it is still unknown whether he is willing or has the physical strength to take them into the West Mountain.
But today's discovery made Song Wuya feel that these murderers blamed everything on the mountain god, and their purpose was obviously to target the treasure of the former prince guarded by the mountain god.
"It seems that this case will take a lot of time to solve!" Situ Wen said with a sigh.
"Indeed, the clues we have now are too few, and Han Jin's unreliability has led to the destruction of many clues that can be grasped at the first time, which has added more obstacles to the cracking of this case." Song Wu Ya frowned, thinking about his next plan.
It seems that in his opinion, to be able to quickly uncover this mystery, perhaps only by going deep into the Western Mountains can it be done.Now, Long Tao, a suspect involved in the initial investigation of this case, has also disappeared and is nowhere to be found.
"In this case, according to the clues obtained from the first informant, a suspect named Long Tao has been identified. This person and the first informant, Luo Xiaoer, often get together to drink, and when Luo Xiaoer speaks Kyogen, after saying that the Xishan Treasure really existed, it never appeared. We went to his home to look for it, and found that there was no one living there, so it is not ruled out that this person is the person who led the murder. But now this The person has disappeared, and there is no way to find it."
Speaking of this Long Tao, Song Wuya sighed, this was a breakthrough he found with great difficulty, and it was broken just like that, which really made people feel helpless.
"Missing? Then he is dead?" Situ Wen asked directly in an astonishing way.
In fact, Song Wuya also thought so, but he couldn't prove it.
Seeing that Song Wuya was stunned, Situ Wen went on to say: "That Luo Xiaoer is a farmer, and the person who can get together to drink with him must not be someone of high status. I don't think this person can do it either. With such a big case, maybe after he exposed this idea, he was directly murdered by the partner he was looking for."
This possibility is still very high, just as Song Wuya thought at the beginning, it is absolutely impossible for a person with a poor family to find someone to handle such a big case by himself.Come to think of it, he must want to unite with other people, and he doesn't want them to completely erase him from this world after they know everything he knows.
"There is such a possibility, and it cannot be ruled out now, but there is no way to prove it." Song Wuya said with a sigh.
"Then among the eight heads you found, Luo Xiaoer didn't find any familiar faces." Situ Wen said while wiping Song Wuya's feet dry.
"That's right!" Song Wuya was so startled that he almost jumped up.He really didn't think about this possibility, but when he thought about it, the eight heads were all stained with blood-red soil, and they had already begun to rot. Luo Xiaoer just saw this scene and immediately started to vomit. Look at the faces of those heads.
After Situ Wen reminded him like this, he really felt the need to ask Luo Xiaoer to confirm, maybe he could really find that Long Tao from the eight heads.
"Wen'er, you've reminded me this time. I'll check this matter tomorrow. Perhaps, this can explain what happened to the two people who disappeared." Song Wuya suddenly realized , What happened to the two extra people he had been thinking about and where did they go.
Now that Situ Wen said this, he immediately understood that maybe these two people and those eight people joined forces to kill the other six people. It was within the other party's calculations. After dealing with those six people, they were immediately murdered.
Chapter 4 Fifty Eight Heads
?4 fifty chapters eight heads
After eating, his body was already quite exhausted after working hard all day, Song Wuya lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When I got up the next day, it was already high in the sun, and I just moved my body when I felt a burst of soreness.
"Hiss!" Song Wuya couldn't help gasping, "A day's walk is more tiring than a day's work! It seems that this body needs more exercise. It's all a hassle."
After coming downstairs and saying hello to Xiaoer, Song Wuya left the inn.The shops selling breakfast on the street are all ready to clear up. Obviously, there are not many people coming to eat breakfast at this time.
Fortunately, there were still some buns in a bun shop, Song Wuya ordered two, and walked towards the government office as he walked.
"Have you heard? It is said that the government officials went to the Xishan official road yesterday and found eight heads!"
On the way, Song Wuya actually heard a few street vendors with no business chatting together. This statement shocked him.
"Didn't you just come back last night? Why did these people know so early?" Song Wuya was very surprised about this matter. After all, it was just one night. When they came back, they covered their heads and didn't care at all. Someone might know what's going on inside.
Thinking of this, Song Wuya felt a burst of anger in his heart. It was obvious that someone had exposed this matter, otherwise how could the common people know about it.
With anger in his heart, Song Wuya who came to the government office did not go directly to the prefect Han Jin, but found the servants at the door.
"Which one of you told about what happened yesterday?" Song Wuya asked these yamen servants with a cold face.
When he asked such a question, the yamen servants were startled, and the head of the yamen servant immediately turned to the yamen servant next to him with a dark face and asked, "We went to Xishan yesterday, whoever of you got out for who, come out immediately!"
Soon yesterday's yamen servants were gathered together by the head of the yamen servants, and he questioned these people with a dark face.Obviously, he could tell that Song Wuya's complexion was not good, and this kind of thing was originally classified as a secret, so it would be a terrible thing to reveal it to outsiders and let the murderer hear the truth.
But even with such a pressing question, none of these yamen servants admitted to the matter, but each of them looked at each other with grievances on their faces.
