Legend of Immortal Cultivation in Myriad Realms

Chapter 227 Red Apricot
"I'll go take a look too."

Chu Tian put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and stood up.

"Hanwen, this is not something lively and beautiful..."

The elder sister grabbed Chu Tian's sleeve.

Li Gongfu turned around and shouted: "Let him go, Yang Xuezheng has gone too, it's good to show his face to Yang Xuezheng."

"That's fine."

The elder sister let go of Chutian's sleeve.

When Chutian followed Li Gongfu and rode his horse to Lijia Village outside the city, the county magistrate and Xuezheng hadn't arrived yet.

They had their own ceremonial guards and ostentation, so naturally they were not as fast as Chu Tian who came here on horseback.

"Captain Li!"

The yamen servant who had already sealed off the place saw Li Gongfu rushing over, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Has the identity of the deceased been found out?"

Li Gongfu jumped off his horse and asked.

The yamen servant hurriedly said: "We have found someone to identify him. He is Li Liezi from Lijia Village. There is also a woman at home..."

"What about Wu Zuo? Have you had an autopsy?"

Li Gongfu walked towards the corpse by the river, and asked as he walked.

"Old Zhang, come here, Catcher Li is asking you something."

The yamen servant shouted at a thin man with a goatee not far away.

Hearing this, the thin man sitting under a tree hiding from the sun quickly came over with a small wooden box on his back: "Captain Li, the deceased should have been walking by the Fengle River at that time, and then hit his head on this stone." .”

"Accident? The road by the river is slippery and difficult to walk on. This man is a lame man. It's normal for him to fall..."

Li Gongfu breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was an accident, it wouldn't matter much to him.

As a result, before Li Gongfu could finish his sentence, Wu Zuo shook his head and said, "I deduce that it was murder. Although Li Lie has a lame leg, the roadside is indeed slippery.

But one of the most basic problems is that if a person falls back normally and his head hits a rock, it should be at the back of the head, not this position. Moreover, if a person falls backwards, he will subconsciously support it with his hands, but The marks on the hands and back of the corpse don’t look like they fell down by accident, catcher Li, come and take a look..."

Wu Zuo walked a few steps forward and brought Li Gongfu to the corpse by the river.

Chu Tian also followed behind the two of them, and took a closer look at the corpse by the river.

"This cripple Li was injured on the side of his head, and his head was bleeding. It doesn't look like he fell to the ground, but more like he was hit by someone!"

Li Gongfu looked at Li Liezi's wound and said.

After working as a police officer for so many years, Li Gongfu has seen many corpses, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he already has some understanding of the various injuries of the corpses.

"Not bad!"

Wu Zuo nodded.

Li Gongfu beckoned, called a yamen servant and said, "Go to Lijia Village, find someone who understands, and go to Fengleting over there. Remember to keep the matter of Li Liezi quiet."

"Yes."

The yamen servant took the order and went.

Li Gongfu turned his head and glanced at Chu Tian, ​​only to find that his 16-year-old brother-in-law was not as pale and frightened as he had imagined when he saw the corpse.

On the contrary, her face was ruddy, her eyes were clear, and she didn't feel any discomfort at all.

This surprised Li Gongfu a little.

I didn't see it on weekdays, but this kid actually has such a strong psychological quality!
This reaction was stronger than when I saw such a tragic corpse when I was handling the case for the first time!

"Let's go to Fengle Pavilion and sit down."

Li Gongfu greeted Chutian, then turned and walked towards Fengleting not far away.

The two went to Fengle Pavilion and sat there for a while, and the yamen servant came back with a woman in her 40s, with dark and rough skin, a strong body, and very bright eyes.

"what."

When Li Gongfu saw the woman brought back by the yamen servant from a distance, he laughed.

When investigating a case, the women in the village who like to gossip, the boss Li Jiashou, are often the most well-informed.

After the woman sat down cautiously, Li Gongfu asked, "You know Lame Li, right?"

"I know, I know, this lame Li is very honest. He had a high fever when he was a child, and he managed to save his life, but he was lame in one leg. After that, he was sent to the city by his parents to be an apprentice. As a craft, if you cook well, you can also earn some money, which is more than those of us who simply planed and ate in the land!

With this skill, he made money, and even took the green branches from the neighboring villages, which are rare beauties in these ten miles and eight towns!However, if you want me to say, this woman should be thicker, able to work and get by, like that woman, who is thin enough to be blown away by a gust of wind, and the work in the field still depends on a cripple She's human, and a beautiful woman attracts attention, so it's easy to hook up with wild men outside..."

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes gleaming with intense gossip suddenly became alert, and she quickly stopped talking.

"go on!"

Li Gongfu tapped his fingers on the stone table in the pavilion, and said with serious eyes.

"Yes Yes."

The woman didn't have much knowledge, and when she saw the gentleman in front of her scolding her, she quickly continued: "The woman hooked up with the third son of Fang Yuan's family, and has been arguing with Li Lie every day for the past few days. If you say that Li Lie is stupid, Enduring and giving in to that woman, I didn't even realize that the woman had..."

As soon as the woman spoke up, she spit and vomited like a waterfall.

"All right."

Li Gongfu stopped the woman's words, and continued to ask: "Do you know, who has this cripple Li ever had grudges with?"

"Grudge?"

The woman was stunned for a moment: "This lame Li is usually very honest, and his temper is also excellent in the village. He shouldn't have offended anyone. How could he have a grudge? What happened?"

Gossip ignites in women's eyes.

"It's okay, think about it carefully."

Li Gongfu said.

The woman thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "Really not, at least in Lijia Village, I haven't seen Li Lie blushing with anyone before."

"You go down."

Li Gongfu waved his hand and sent the woman away.

"Han Wen, what do you think?"

When Li Gongfu saw his brother-in-law, he behaved very differently until now. It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and he was really amazed by the calm and relaxed temperament on his body.

Chu Tian said: "According to what the woman said, I think it is very likely that the woman, or the third son of the party member, did it."

Li Gongfu nodded: "It is possible, but the point is, we have no evidence pointing to them. It is still very difficult to solve the case as soon as possible."

He sighed softly.

During this period of time, the Fengle River was already in turmoil. At this juncture, another one died by the Fengle River.If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, the people will not care how the person died, and then the public opinion will put this case on the Fengle River evil incident.

"Yes or no, we can trick her."

Chu Tian stood up and said, "Let's go to Li Laizi's house first, brother-in-law, don't talk, if I can't cheat you, brother-in-law, you will do it."

Perhaps it was Chu Tian's unusual performance today that moved Li Gongfu. After hearing the words, he actually nodded and agreed.
