Chapter 49 Headless Male Corpse

Du Si stepped forward, and when the woman saw him, she rushed forward, grabbed Du Si's sleeve and refused to let go.

"You found my master?!"

Her words were excited and her voice was very loud, which made Du Si's eardrums hurt a little. He thought that the family of the deceased could not accept this fact for the time being, so he didn't push her away, but just nodded.

"Why you? Why you? You must be jealous of Fan's family's great career, so you lied on purpose, right?" The woman's eyes were about to crack, and her subordinates increased their strength, "How could my master be murdered!"

Du Si looked at this crazy woman, took out the carefully wrapped piece of jade from his robe, and handed it to her.

The woman hurriedly examined the piece of jade carefully. Du Si was close, and when he lowered his head, he saw her pale face and trembling hands. He sighed secretly, and took a few steps back.

"This, this is my master's jade!" The woman held the piece of jade, her breathing stopped for a few seconds, and she suddenly fell to the ground with a plop.

"Sin! You just went to Baiyin Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, why don't you want to be poisoned by someone and become a dead soul under the sword! Master!"

The woman slumped on the ground and wept in despair. The valuable piece of jade was thrown aside and made an extremely clear and ethereal sound when it collided with the ground.

Ye Fan stepped forward and patted Du Si on the shoulder. He was also a witness to this tragedy. Those who work in the government know how many happy and happy families have been torn apart because of this. Watching everything.

Because of the case involved, Ye Fan was not as indifferent as he left in a hurry yesterday, and began to inform Du Si of the case information.

This noble lady is the principal wife of the deceased Fan Jishi - Mrs. Li. She was born in poverty since she was a child, but she looks very good. She married Fan Jishi before he had such a huge family business. They are very affectionate It is said that Fan Jishi did not abandon this poor wife after he became rich, but became closer to her. From this, Du Si also learned other information; The servant suddenly became rich overnight. Many people can only watch his business grow bigger and bigger. They can only sigh with emotion. The topical character of the neighbors in the neighborhood is now Fan Jishi, Huang Tengda, Guangzong Yaozu, and Li's stubbornness at the beginning has become the inseparable one that everyone praises.

At this time, Li Shi who was kneeling on the ground suddenly got up and staggered to Fan Jishi's body. The body had been covered with a white cloth, completely blocking Li Shi's shouts.

"Master, you have done many good deeds in your life! Who in Lin'an dares to say that you have never received favors from you? Who is so cruel to kill you!" Li cried and lifted the white cloth, and the head of the corpse disappeared. A stench came, accompanied by the twisting figures of maggots, it was really hard to see.

The waiter at the side couldn't help frowning, but Mrs. Li didn't respond, crying even harder, "Head, why is your head gone? Could it be that I can't even look at your face?"

Li's tears continued, and her satin and brocade clothes were dirty with dust on the ground, and she no longer had the demeanor that Du Si had seen before.

"You are gone, leave me and Xiaobao behind, what will we mother and son do in the future..." Li stopped crying suddenly, and slammed into a stone pillar beside him with lightning speed. Immediately, they stopped Li Shi, Du Si and Ye Fan hurried forward, and it took another while to stabilize Li Shi.

At this time, the servants of the Fan residence just arrived, and after hearing what Li Shi had done just now, a white-haired steward knelt down in front of Li Shi, persuading her earnestly.

"Ma'am, absolutely not!"

Mrs. Li looked so out of her mind that she couldn't even listen to anyone's words. Outside the yamen, many people gathered to watch the fun. Among them were those who had been helped by Fan Jishi, and there were also passers-by who were waiting to see a joke.

"Master has gone, only you and the young master are left in the family. If you fail this test, the Fan family will be terminated! Do you want the master to rest in peace?"

Mrs. Li reacted a little, and the maid at the side hurriedly helped her up from the ground, a few people were crying softly beside her, Du Si frowned, and walked over to pick up the jade.

"Ma'am, the old slave rescued the old slave from the street, the old slave will never forget this kindness!" The steward gritted his teeth and said with hatred on his face, "The old slave will definitely find the thief and tear him into pieces. !"

Mrs. Li shook her head, and said with a desolate expression, "I'm afraid that thief has already gone to the ends of the earth. In such a big world, how can we find him?"

"Madam, don't worry, this old slave has his own way." The steward raised his head and looked at the plaque hanging on the yamen with suspicion, only to see that there were four big characters written on it - 'Justice and Integrity'.

"No matter how much money you spend, find the murderer!"

Mrs. Li nodded, and her body seemed to regain some strength. Seeing that she seemed to be back to normal, Du Si exchanged Fan Jishi's jade with her.

But who knows, Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he threw Yu out again in front of Du Si.

"It's all about you, what's your business?" Li growled and fired a lot at Du Si, "No one else noticed, why did you recognize my master? You must have killed the master and threw his body away He, come to my house and pretend to be a good person!"

The steward quickly grabbed Li Shi, and Du Si was unusually calm, standing silently by the side.

Although Li Shi was restrained, her mouth was still growing. That delicate face was extremely ferocious. She seemed to have found a gap to vent everything she had encountered.

"I don't want this piece of jade! I don't want such a big family property either!"

Li Shi suddenly lost all his movements and his expression became sad.

"I just hope that the master can come back and see me."

Two lines of clear tears flowed down her face, it was very desolate, the steward at the side lowered her eyes, finally shed the tears that had been crowded in her eyes for a long time.

Du Si picked up the jade again from the ground, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and stood in front of Mrs. Li again. He held the jade in both hands and said solemnly.

"Mrs. Li, this is the only item that Fan Jishi carried during his lifetime. If you break it, you will truly break the only remaining connection with Fan Jishi."

"Jade, master's jade..."

Li muttered to herself, took the jade tremblingly, held it to her heart, and left in a daze.

After thanking Du Si, the steward wiped away his tears and followed. After a while, there were only those original people left in Nuo Da's yamen.

"The separation between heaven and man is very painful." Ye Fan stepped forward and stood side by side with Du Si, "Li's reaction like this is also from the heart."

Du Si sighed heavily, looking at the backs of Mrs. Li and the others, speechless.

"I'm not from Lin'an, and I often miss my parents here. If something happens to them one day, I'm afraid I will react in the same way." Ye Fan spoke lightly, but his words were very heavy.

Then, he said, "Brother Du, when you first came here, you must have missed your parents very much. However, you and I are indomitable men, and it is inevitable to go out. You have to fight for them."

Du Si looked at Ye Fan, feeling a lot of bitterness in his heart, "My parents died early, and I haven't thought about them for a long time."

He suddenly thought of the dean's face, that was his only fragment of memory in modern times except for knowledge. Du Si had no father or mother, and he had never tasted the pain of losing a loved one.

"Du Yongqiu is dead?" Ye Fan was very surprised. As soon as he spoke, he realized that he was too abnormal, and quickly comforted him, "I am dull by nature, please don't take it to heart."

Du Si shook his head and walked out without asking any further questions.

"Du Si, where are you going?" Ye Fan came back to his senses and asked loudly.

"Go to Fan's Mansion." Du Si paused, the sunlight hit his face, and Ye Fan couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"You..." Ye Fan hesitated.

"The only thing I can help them is these hands and these two legs." Du Si stretched out his hands, which carried too many heavy things, so that he couldn't let go of the evil in the world.

Du Si left this sentence and disappeared from Ye Fan's sight.

The sun was just right, but Ye Fan felt that the door was too dazzling. A sense of guilt rose from the soles of his feet and surrounded his whole body. At the same time, a voice urged him to keep up with Du Si.

But when Ye Fan was about to leave the Yamen, Yan Zhizhou suddenly appeared.

"Have those people left?" Yan Shizhi came out from the side, and said to Ye Fan seriously, "I saw that the woman was crying, making noise, and getting too excited, and it was inappropriate at that time, so I watched from the side. "

"I've met Lord Zhizhou." Ye Fan lowered his expression and said respectfully.

"Hey, where's Du Si?" Yan Shizhi was full of doubts, unable to see him from left to right, "Where did he go?"

"Go back to Mr. Zhizhou, he went to find Mrs. Li."

"This child, why are you trying to take matters into your own hands?" Yan Shizhi frowned, "According to my officer, there are very few clues in this case, and the murderer may have already escaped. It is too difficult to arrest the murderer."

Ye Fan listened quietly at the side, what Yan Shizhi said was not unreasonable, the corpse was highly decomposed, and there were too few clues left, and it was not as simple as talking about it to catch the real culprit based on clues.

"I am not slacking off on this case. If the murderer can be caught, I will be happy, but if it can't be solved..." Yan Shizhi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the downcast Ye Fan. water?"

Ye Fan was silent for a moment and then shook his head. Yan Shizhi smiled like a flower blooming in spring, "This case is so complicated. The autopsy was a few days ago, and you were lucky. The rest is up to fate."

After Yan Shizhi left, Ye Fan clenched his fists and glanced at the plaque of the yamen. He stood there for a long time, but he did not take a step out of the yamen.

Du Si at the other end was not in good condition. Not long after he left the yamen, a group of people dressed as coolies surrounded him and asked him about the case, making Du Si's head grow bigger.

"There is no progress in this case. The identity of the body has been confirmed, but there is no clue about the murderer." Du Si explained helplessly.

"I don't believe it, everyone has been killed, how could it be possible not to know who the murderer is?" one person shouted.

"Then Master Fan died for no apparent reason, you have to seek justice for him!"

"Yes, the murderer must be caught."

Many people echoed, and Du Si was very speechless, feeling as if he was bound.

"I can only promise to do my best on this case." Du Si said honestly, "I can't lie to you, there are too few clues, the suspect has not been identified, and the current situation is unclear, and I am also very anxious."

Everyone paused, and when Du Si saw them calm down, he tried to persuade them.

"However, I can promise that I will handle this well..."

Before Du Si could finish speaking, everyone exploded, all of them looked upset, and almost rushed up to beat him up.

"What do you mean? No murderer found?"

"Could the murderer be a certain royal family member, the government is protecting him!"

"I think the murderer is you! How did you figure out that the corpse belonged to Master Fan without anyone else finding out?"

"Murderer!"

Everyone's conversation changed abruptly, from initial suspicion to affirmation, Du Si was stunned by such unrestrained imagination, at the moment he was in a daze, these people actually decided that he was a murderer!

"Can you make some sense? I kindly came to help Mrs. Li identify the body, so how could I be the murderer?" Du Si pointed at himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"He's still quibbling!"

"You murderer, you actually came to Lin'an to harm people!"

"Get him out!"

"I, I." Surrounded by them, Du Si looked up to the sky and shouted, "I'm wronged!"

"You still dare to shout for a thief, brothers, take him to the government quickly, and let the Zhizhou master deal with him!"

"Yes!"

Du Si was out of breath, but he couldn't do anything. Soon, he felt the meaning of the phrase 'the strength of a large number', because this group of people really wanted to take him to the Yamen.

As the saying goes, 36 tactics, walking is the best policy, Du Si took advantage of the people around him not paying attention, shrunk up and ran in the opposite direction.

"Hey, that kid ran away!"

"Follow him!"

Everyone ran up together, chasing Du Si relentlessly, and some of them threw eggs one by one on Du Si one by one.

"How could the murderer be me? Calm down!" Du Si turned around, only to find that everyone stared at him as if they were going to eat him, "Anyway, I didn't kill anyone, I, I can't communicate with you!"

The crowd chased Du Si for more than half the street without any sign of stopping. Du Si ran all the way to Fan's mansion according to the route he remembered.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Du Si pawed at the door, and a group of wolves and tigers behind him chased him, so anxious. At this moment, Du Si suddenly remembered the doorman who drove him away, and regretted that he didn't go out this morning. Look at the almanac.

"Here we come." An old voice sounded, the person who came was the steward, he recognized Du Si, and immediately opened the door to let him in.

Du Si closed the door immediately after entering, just like Du Yu.

"My lord, why are you in such a hurry?" the steward asked doubtfully.

"It's those people outside the door." Du Si pointed at the door, "They actually said that I was the murderer who killed Fan Jishi!"

"Young master, don't worry, they have received a lot of help from the master on weekdays, and they will be fine in a few days." The steward opened the door and greeted them back under Du Si's horrified gaze, but those people really left without asking any questions. .

"They really left?" Du Si poked his head out and looked around, until he saw rows of leaving figures before heaving a sigh of relief.

"These people have no education, and rely on physical labor to earn money to support their families." The steward sighed, "If there is anything that offends you, I will apologize to you on their behalf."

After all, the steward wanted to kneel down to Du Si, and Du Si hurriedly helped him up, and began to ask about the business.

"To be honest, I came to the mansion for questioning because of Fan Jishi's case."

"I know son, you are the one who discovered my master." The steward shook his head and said, "This case depends on how Master Zhizhou handles it. If you want to ask something, you can ask."

"It's work."

The two went to the depths. Although the Fan Mansion's installation was not grand, it had its own taste. The place Du Si went was very quiet, with green trees and clear water, and even the servants walked quietly.

"My master likes to be quiet, and all the servants move very lightly." The steward led Du Si to the hall, "My lord, wait here for a while, and I will call my wife over."

After the steward left, a maid came forward to make tea for him. Du Si sat on a chair and stared at the servants passing by the door.

Among them, a slender and tall figure caught Du Si's attention.

The owner of that figure was also very outstanding in appearance, but Du Si looked more and more familiar, but couldn't think of her name.

At this time, Mrs. Li happened to come to Du Si, her eyes were red, but she said calmly.

"I have offended you a lot in the government today, and I hope you will forgive me." Seeing Du Si smiled, she continued, "I heard that you have doubts, so I wonder if I can help you."

Du Si had some admiration for Mrs. Li and immediately asked.

"You said that Fan Jishi went to Baiyin Temple before his death. When did he go?"

"About nine days ago." When Li mentioned this matter, she couldn't help feeling sad.

"What can he say before he goes?"

"It will be Xiaobao's birthday in a few days." Li choked up a few times, tears streaming down his cheeks, "Master said he would come back early to celebrate Xiaobao's birthday."

Du Si consciously slipped his words, and hurriedly asked about other things, "Did Fan Jishi have any enemies before his death?"

"Master loves to do good deeds and is very popular. Many people in Lin'an praise my master." Li said dejectedly, "How could there be any enemies? A person as good as Master...why did he end up like this? .”

At this time, a maid stepped forward to make tea for Mrs. Li, and she was the tall and slender woman that Du Si was thinking about.

After the maid left, Du Si asked aloud, "Madam, who is that girl?"

"Her name is Mu Nianchou, and she is a dumb girl." When Li talked about Mu Nianchou, she couldn't help but sympathize, "Both her parents died in the Heng River, and her background was very pitiful. I heard that she once had a younger brother, but she was also doomed." , I saw that she was pitiful, so I took her back to the mansion, so that I can live better."

"Madam is kind-hearted, I believe that the murderer will surface, and Master Zhizhou can seek justice for Mr. Fan." Du Si said sincerely.

Mrs. Li shook her head, looking down, not knowing what to think.

Suddenly, a little boy with a thick head and a thick head ran into the hall. He looked at Li Shi and yelled for a hug. Li Shi picked him up, his haggard face softened a lot.

He is Li's son Xiaobao. Xiaobao has big watery eyes and a round face, which is very cute. Du Si looked at him and couldn't help smiling.

"Mother, who is he?" Xiao Bao asked, biting his finger.

"This big brother is a guest at home, come, Xiaobao, quickly say hello to big brother." Li said softly, stroking Xiaobao's head.

"Hello, big brother." Xiao Bao said timidly, and then buried his face in Li's chest, refusing to come out.

"Xiaobao is so good." Li Shi patted Xiaobao with a smile on his face.

Du Si watched from the side, and suddenly felt a little envious, only to see Xiaobao raised his head and asked.

"Mother, when will daddy come back?" He pursed his mouth and was about to cry, "I miss daddy so much."

"Don't cry, Xiaobao, Dad will be back soon." Li's expression remained unchanged, still very gentle, "He even brought Xiaobao's favorite rice crisp cake."

"Really?" Xiaobao smiled happily, and rushed out to play after a while.

When Xiaobao ran out, Li's face changed suddenly. Du Si looked at her worriedly, but was sent out tactfully by the steward. Not long after the two of them walked out, a shrill and desperate wail came from the hall, resounding through the sky.
