Detective Case of Black Belly

"Master Li from Lianxiang County is also a bit fussy. We have handled the cases of wild beasts wounding people in the mountains before. Speaking carefully, the mountain top should be under the jurisdiction of the neighboring Sishui County. Get off." Huang Xiliu said, looking at the back of the messenger.

"Forget it, since they can come up with proof that the land boundary really belongs to our county, logically it belongs to us." Fu Qingkai handed the letter paper to Wu Yuyan, "Don't stand there stupidly, go home and change it. Clothes. Yu Yan and I packed up and are about to go to Lianxiang County, and I let Wang Yong take leave again, so you have to take charge of this place."

"Decree!" Huang Xiliu shook his head and went home.

"When will we leave?" Fu Qingkai didn't know much about the distance between these two counties, so he could only ask Wu Yuyan for his opinion.

"The murder happened in the lower reaches of the Baishui River and our current location is exactly one south and one north." Wu Yuyan poked the letter paper, "It's already past noon, let's pack up our bags right now, and gallop on horseback, just in time for the sunset."

Fu Qing was stunned immediately, he doesn't know how to ride a horse, if he rides on horseback for so long, his thighs will be worn out.Wu Yuyan looked at Fu Qingkai's dejected look, and couldn't help but comfort him, "It's okay, I'll prepare the carriage right now, and you go and pack up some odds and ends, so you can leave early tomorrow."

"That's the only way." Fu Qingkai nodded.

Mid-autumn is almost over, and it is quite cool when the night is not over and the dawn is not yet here.Two red lanterns were specially left at the gate of the yamen, a little bit of warm light.Fu Qing closed his clothes, he had warm sweet rice porridge in his stomach, and stood in the warm light, waiting for Wu Yuyan to bring the carriage over.

Wu Yuyan actually came very early. When Fu Qingkai was still changing clothes in his room, he had already packed his luggage and came to the yamen.

Wu Yuyan gently knocked on the door that Fu Qing opened, his movements were as gentle as the night.Then he put a food box at the door and said, "The car is bumpy, eat something to fill your stomach first, and wait for me at the door when you pack up your things."

Fu Qing was in the room. He was holding a smoky blue hair tie to tie his hair. The hand holding the hair tie stopped for a while, and couldn't think of which way to wrap it around.

With the help of a little candlelight, Fu Qingkai vaguely saw the tall man at the door bent down, carefully put down the food box, and gave a soft 'click'.

Fu Qing had an indescribable feeling in her heart, like hearing the meow of a kitten, like being brushed by young willows in March on her face, or like the numb itching when a wound scabs over.

The sound of the wheels turning was getting closer, Fu Qingkai leaned out to have a look.The sky is also slightly brighter.Because of the need to drive the carriage, there was a lot of wind and dust along the way.Wu Yuyan added a black hooded cloak to the dark blue official uniform.

Fu Qing ignited a torch, and his vision, which was originally blurred by night blindness, seemed to be clearer because of this little bit of light.

Wu Yuyan came out of the night leading a white horse.Fu Qingkai suddenly felt that his night blindness seemed to be healed, and he could clearly see Wu Yuyan's thick and long eyelashes.For some reason, Wu Yuyan's expression looked extraordinarily gentle under the dim light. His eyes, nose bridge, and lips were covered by the dim night, and he was no longer as handsome and aggressive as he saw in the daytime, but showed a bit of ink painting With such gentleness, the dark eyes seemed to be filled with the only remaining moonlight from last night.

Wu Yuyan pulled the carriage and stopped in front of him, looking at him, his light-colored lips curved slightly.

Fu Qingkai's heart beat inexplicably, the heartbeat was so loud that even he was surprised, 'It's over. Fu Qing thought about it, and panicked, without even saying hello, she hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and got into the carriage.

Wu Yuyan didn't understand, so he looked at the small bundle that fell on the ground, and then at the slightly moving carriage curtain, he picked up the bundle with his eyelashes downcast, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them didn't talk to each other during the journey, Wu Yuyan was hard to talk because he was driving against the wind, and Fu Qing was huddled in the carriage, dazed.He secretly lifted a crack of the curtain, looked out, only saw Wu Yuyan's broad back, and shrank back.

'That's all, never mind, don't want to. Fu Qing pretended to be nothing, and decided to ignore the strange feeling in his heart.

The wheels of the Yamen's carriage are small and narrow, so it should be very bumpy.But Wu Yuyan had been to this area before, and he only chose flat places to walk.Fu Qing sat in the carriage, but felt the ups and downs, and didn't feel uncomfortable, and gradually fell asleep.

It's just that I didn't sleep deeply, and some fragments of dreams floated in my head. "Chu Se's medicine jar is gurgling and tumbling medicine juice", "When I was young, I was stepping on a medicine wheel to help my father grind medicine." "My mother was wearing a filial piety and rushed to my father's coffin..."

Fu Qing woke up suddenly, bit her lower lip tightly, and swallowed the mournful sound back into her throat.He didn't realize that the carriage had stopped and the curtain was drawn.The person who opened the curtain brought the bright light outside, dispelling the haze of the nightmare.

Wu Yuyan's eyes fell on Fu Qingkai's bloody lips, his calm expression concealed his heartache.Fu Qingkai pursed his lips, "Knocked accidentally, it's okay." Wu Yuyan didn't believe what Fu Qingkai said with a pale face.It's just that he had already reached the bank of Baishui River, and he also saw the police from the Lianxiang County Yamen setting up a shed not far away.

Fu Qing got out of the carriage and walked towards the shed.The policeman not far away noticed the movement here and waved his hand quickly.The two pairs exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then turned to the topic.

"It's a male corpse. It was found by the residents living in the upper reaches when they came to wash the toilet in the lower reaches." A policeman named Feng Fei showed the two of them the oil paper covering the corpse, and quietly turned his head away. go.

After a bumpy morning, Fu Qing's appetizer was already empty, but that's okay.But after soaking for a long time, the corpse was soaked in water, and its face was pale and swollen, making it difficult to recognize.

"Why is the corpse placed in this wilderness?" Wu Yuyan asked with some dissatisfaction, his two long eyebrows frowned slightly, and a cold atmosphere suddenly appeared around him.

"Uh, my lord told me that it's convenient for you to take it away." Feng Fei showed a flattering smile.

"This corpse was found in the water downstream. Looking at the swelling of the corpse, it was obvious that it had been soaked in the water for too long. It is very likely that it was washed from upstream to downstream. If this is the case, if he The person from Lianxiang County or the murderer is from your Lianxiang County, how do you ask me to investigate if I bring the body back to Qinghe County?" Fu Qing was happily depressed, and the officials in Lianxiang County were so fussy, she couldn't help it I said a few more words about them.

Everything Fu Qing said made sense, and the police officers from Lianxiang County looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Send someone to hurry back and tell your lords that I, Fu Qingkai, will stay in Gui County for a few days to investigate the case." Fu Qingkai pointed to the corpse, and then pointed to the arresters standing next to him. quick.

"Bring the corpse to your county government office." Wu Yuyan explained while the arresters were standing still without knowing why.

The lower reaches of the Baishui River are not very far from the Lianxiang County Government Office, and it took an hour in a carriage to arrive.Just after going back and forth like this, Fu Qingkai was already too hungry.When the carriage drove into the county, it could not run, but could only walk slowly.There was a lot of people outside, shouting and hawking.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and an oiled paper bag was handed in with a sharp hand, and Fu Qingkai subconsciously took it and opened it.The freshly baked red bean cake was soft and sweet, and the sweet smell pierced his nose, and Fu Qing opened his mouth unconsciously with a smile.

"What about you? Do you have something to eat?" Fu Qing asked.

"I didn't see anything I wanted to eat." After driving for a long time, Wu Yuyan's final voice was lingering with a little bit of imperceptible tiredness.

"You're quite picky." Fu Qing spoke, smelling a hint of scallion oil in the air.He sniffed vigorously, then poked his head out immediately, and patted Wu Yuyan's shoulder blades. "Did you smell it! Scallion oil is crispy, salty, what you like to eat."

Wu Yuyan nodded, took the reins and jumped out of the car.The aunt who sells scallion oil double crisps on the side of the road looked up and saw that the customer who patronized her was such a tall and handsome young man with such a beautiful smile.For the price of one double crisp, she readily gave two.

Seeing that Wu Yuyan also ate something, Fu Qingkai felt relieved.He also knew that when the two of them started investigating the case, they forgot to eat and sleep. If the case was not closed, they would not have enough to eat and sleep well.

The yamen in Lianxiang County is much more grand than that in Qinghe County, even the big red lanterns at the entrance are covered with gold foil paper.

"Hehehe, Mr. Fu has admired him for a long time. It is true that he is young and strong, and he is young and promising." Mr. Li from Lianxiang County is a middle-aged man with a strong figure. Qing Kai just let it blow by her ears.

"Master Li, your subordinates must have told you about my request?" Fu Qingkai was not good at talking about scenes, so he could only go straight to the point.

"Say it, tell me, oh, this young man is passionate, right? I will definitely cooperate with all my strength. Come, give your things to Mr. Fu." Mr. Li said, pouting at the people in the corner.

The man hurried forward, "Master Fu, this villain is an author from Lianxiang County. The villain has already roughly inspected the corpse. This is the post-mortem handbook. I hope I can help you relieve your worries."

Fu Qingkai took the letter, thinking, "Just use it as a reference, anyway, I have to go through it again." '

"Master Fu, you've worked hard all this way, do you want some food first? The Tianxiang Building in our county..." Fu Qingkai interrupted Master Li's eloquence with a stop gesture.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. We ate it on the way here. May I ask where you put that corpse?" Fu Qingkai politely rejected Master Li, and turned to ask the yamen servants.

The yamen servant cast a questioning look at Mr. Li, "Sir, isn't there a letter from the autopsy here? What are you doing with that corpse?" the clerk asked.

Fu Qingkai leaned over and made a bow, "This is my habit, I hope Master Li will be more tolerant."

"Okay, okay, take Master Fu." Fu Qing made such a humble request, and it seemed a little unreasonable to say no.
