  Chapter 40 Critical moment

  Zhao Erlang faced her head-on, and threatened confidently: "If you can't find the body, I will cut your body into thousands of pieces, and then drag the body out to feed the dogs."

  A word of intimidation scared Hu Maoxi out of his wits, and hurriedly approached Chu Nanzhi worriedly and whispered:

   "Miss Chu, don't act recklessly. Although this yard is a bit suspicious, it doesn't look like it can hide corpses."

   As he spoke, he looked around again to confirm that there was indeed no clue to be found.

  Zhao Erlang saw the fear on the county magistrate's face, and asked aggressively:

   "Tell me, where is the body hidden? You have been in this courtyard for half a day. With a face full of promises, can you find my younger brother's body?"

"certainly."

  Chu Nanzhi inspected the crowd, slowly walking around the courtyard with deep eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on the suspicious dry well just now:

   "Mr. Zhao Xiaolang's body is in that dry well."

   Everyone looked around, sighing for a while.

  Hu Maoxi wanted to go over to find out, but he carefully looked around the dry well, and there was a thick layer of moss growing around the well cover.

  Looking at the feet again, weeds are overgrown, lush and luxuriant, and it looks like there are traces of someone who has been there.

  Even if the corpse is carried over, there should be a little trace of destruction around it.

  If you can really find Mr. Xiaolang here, that’s fine. If you can’t find it, then it’s a big joke, how can you explain to the Zhao family.

  The Zhao family is not an ordinary family.

  When it came to a critical moment, he fell into hesitation, completely without a clue, and dared not tear the last face off.

  Zhao Erlang walked to the side of the weeds, looked into the distance, pointed to his feet, and said angrily:

   "Not to mention that the dry well has been abandoned for many years and no one has turned it over. Chu, you take a good look at the weeds around here. There is no trace of trampling on it. How can you throw the corpse in there? Could it be flying over?"

  The air gradually stagnated, and everyone's suspicious eyes were completely resolved by Zhao Erlang's words.

Zhao Erlang struck while the iron was hot, and continued to frighten Chu Nanzhi: "You wicked woman insists on fabricating facts out of thin air, I can make you give up, and then let people dig the well, but if you can't find Brother Yan's body here, I will kill you." Carry out what you just said."

  Hearing this, County Magistrate Hu was so frightened that he lost his mind.

  He didn't want to be torn to pieces, so he immediately stopped Zhao Erlang: "It's just random suspicion without basis, it can't be taken as true."

  Chu Nanzhi didn't know how this Zhao Erlang was so aggressive, his beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Indeed, the murderer concealed everything very well."

  Afterwards, she casually shifted her eyes to the lovely and pitiful woman, her expression so calm that she could even speak like a sharp voice:

   "It's because it's so well concealed that it's easy to show flaws."

  Everyone was confused when they heard the words.

   Seeing the truth in front of him, County Magistrate Hu backed down, which made Chu Nanzhi a little disappointed.

  But things have come to this juncture, and everyone has to be persuaded to open the well no matter what.

  She unhurriedly pointed to the weeds in the distance, and motioned: "Let's see, how is the grass over there different from this one?"

  Everyone looked at it, and it was full of vitality. They didn't find anything unusual, so they turned their eyes back helplessly.

Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to elaborate: "There was a heavy rain a few days ago. After the storm, even though the weeds in this yard were tough, soft and strong, they couldn't withstand the baptism of the wind and rain, and they were still damaged. , the bushes in other places are more or less crooked, and some are even mixed together."

Saying so, she personally walked to a bush not far away, knelt down, and pointed deliberately: "And many of these crooked grasses are still stained with mud, so this side should be where there should be grass after the rain." scene."

  After that, she walked back to the grass in front of the dry well, bent down, and continued to explain patiently:

"And here, everyone, please look carefully. It's neat and tidy, and there's not even a little bit of soil on each grass. It's clear that someone deliberately erased the traces, straightened the trampled green grass, and wiped it at the same time. After cleaning the dirt on the grass, this is a perfect illusion."

  Everyone gathered around to check carefully and compared them repeatedly, and it was as she said, there was no mistake at all.

  Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips, staring deeply at Yu Shi:

"It's located at the corner of the house, but it's the biggest air vent in the yard. There are weeds mixed together in other places, but this place should be even more messy. The murderer tried his best to erase the leftovers. trampled marks, but neglected this crucial point."

   While everyone was talking about it, she stepped on the grass again, demonstrating how these resilient weeds regain their shape after being trampled down.

  When everyone saw this, they were willing to suspect again that there might be a dead body hidden in the dry well.

  Chu Nanzhi borrowed a sharp long knife from the nurse, and cut off the dense weeds leading to the well one by one.

   Not long after, sunken footprints gradually appeared on the bare ground.

  Zhao Taigong was flustered, and after taking a few breaths, he personally took the knife and came to find the direction of the found footprints with Chu Nanzhi and continued to cut weeds.

  After a cup of tea time passed, a line of crooked footprints went straight to the edge of the well and appeared in front of everyone.

  Hu Maoxi hurriedly ordered the nurses to find ropes and open the manhole cover.

  Yu Shi's crying sound gradually weakened, but his body trembled uncontrollably.

  Zhao Erlang's entire face was suddenly gloomy like a cloud.

   When everyone arrived at the well, they picked up the weeds and inspected them carefully, only to find that the moss covered on it and the soil around the well cover had already been loosened.

  The nurses easily pushed the manhole cover away, and then an unpleasant sour smell came out.

  Two daring nurses climbed down along the ropes they had erected. As soon as they reached the bottom of the well, they saw the corpse of a drenched boy curled up and soaked in the sewage.

   Smelling the sewage carefully, it smells like bamboo vinegar.

   "Found it, it's Xiao Langjun's body."

   Zhao Taigong was startled with fright.

  When Mr. Zhao Xiaolang’s body was seen again, Mr. Zhao looked at the pale young face and pondered for a long time, then spat out a mouthful of old blood on the ground, choked up and shouted:

   "God **** thief, who killed my son?"

   Immediately, fainted.

   Seeing this, Yu Shi also collapsed on the ground in grief.

  The servants helped the old couple back to the north courtyard while weeping sadly, while the nurses began to sort out Mr. Zhao Xiaolang's remains.

  Looking at the horrible corpse, Little Sibao was so frightened that he hid in Chu Nanzhi's arms, not daring to open his eyes.

  Chu Nanzhi hugged her into her arms and comforted her, and the little guy came to his senses.

  Chu Nanzhi went to examine the corpse first, and saw a deep strangle mark on his neck, obviously someone took advantage of his unawares and strangled him to death.

   Right on my guess.

  After that, she hugged the little Sibao and followed closely behind the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and went to the living room of the outer courtyard together with a heavy face.

  Magistrate Hu's face was cloudy and uncertain at this time, and he didn't know what to say to calm his complicated emotions.

   When they reached the main hall and only their own people were left, County Magistrate Hu looked at Chu Nanzhi and couldn't help complaining:

   "My aunt, I asked you to find someone for me, but you found a corpse for me. That's it. The missing persons case has turned into a murder case. What should I do?"

   "My lord is confused."

  Sun Xiancheng explained bitterly with disapproval:

   "Now that the body of Mr. Xiao Lang has been found in this mansion, the bandits have been ruled out, and only the internal conflicts in the mansion are left. My lord just got out, so there is nothing to worry about."

   "The truth is this."

   County magistrate Hu pouted.

   But he loves Yin Zi.

  If the young man can be found intact, Zhao Taigong will be grateful, and he will be rewarded with countless gold, silver and jewels.

  Now that he has lost his beloved son, if he can still be grateful to himself for finding out the truth for him, that's all.

   Ming people don’t say dark words, I just want to see the tickets in your pocket.
