Qinghe Pastoral

In the afternoon, a dozen or so officers and soldiers marched into Qinghe Village, which naturally attracted countless eyes. Although some villagers were afraid, they still followed behind, wanting to know why Zhou Qihuan died.

When Lin Mu and the others got the news, they also set off for the old house.

When they arrived, those officers and soldiers were sitting in the courtyard, and the leader seemed to be talking to Lin Xue.

But one day, Lin Xue had a sloppy beard, dark eye circles, and completely lost the spirit of the past.Liu Yunqiao was sitting next to him, looking not in good spirits.

Regarding Zhou Qihuan's death, although Lin Mu suspected that it was related to Liu Yunqiao, there were many things he couldn't figure out.

"Villagers, after the autopsy, it is confirmed that Zhou Qihuan was strangled to death. Please tell each other if you have seen any suspicious people and suspicious things in the past two days. If so, you should report as soon as possible. It’s also for your safety.”

The yamen servant had just finished speaking, and the villagers began to discuss it in a hurry, and it was a little noisy for a while.

"Okay, be quiet, we will ask those who have been in contact with Zhou Qihuan one by one. If you don't have any clues now, go back separately."

The common people were always afraid of the government, and they didn't dare to stay longer after hearing what the yamen servants said. Lin Mu and the others were relatives, so they would naturally be questioned, especially Zhou Qihuan liked to run to his house these two days.

"Li Zheng, we are not familiar with this place and still need your help. Please send two people from your side to show us the way."

What a scene the Erfang held the banquet at that time, even the county magistrate came to the door in person, this time knowing that the person who died was a member of Lin Zi'an's family, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, and Zhou Qihuan's natal family was not a powerful family, but they can also say that in Jing'an County A few words, this case, they dare not have the slightest slack.

"Of course, Boss, you take all the officials to Qingfengya."

"Yes, Dad."

The leading yamen servant pointed out six people to go up the mountain together with the boss of Lin Wei's family and Lin Youqian, while the rest were looking for clues in the village.

"Please ask Lin Sheng's family to come in and ask questions."

After being summoned, Lin Mu asked Xu Xiuqin to hold Lin Chen to Ji Ruixiu, and the three of them entered the house.

"You don't have to be afraid, you can answer whatever I ask. In the past two days, can you see anything different about Zhou Qihuan?"

"She's pregnant. I just had a son a few months ago, so she comes here often, and there's nothing wrong with it. She always asks me about the baby, and doesn't say much about the rest."

The yamen servant nodded, and said again: "I heard that Zhou Qihuan has only been in Lin's house for more than a month, has she ever had any quarrels with anyone?"

"We separated a long time ago, and we don't move around very often on weekdays. It's really unclear whether she had any quarrels with others."

"After careful inspection, Zhou Qihuan should have died at about three o'clock in the night before yesterday. We suspect that she was killed and then dumped her body. Did you see anyone coming down from Dayan Mountain during this time? I heard that the day Zhou Qihuan entered the house, Liu Yun It happens to be like a crazy woman, do they have any suspicions?"

"This, we really don't know."

"You go back and think about it carefully. If there is anything wrong, report it in time."

When the three of them came out of the house, their expressions were not very good. If they contacted the yamen servant, they seemed to have doubts.

Lin Mu had doubts about Liu Yunqiao ever since she found out about Zhou Qihuan's death, but Liu Yunqiao was only a woman, why did she abandon Zhou Qihuan to Qingfengya?This is almost impossible, unless she has an accomplice.

Lin Mu's mind was in a mess, trying to straighten out these guesses, but it was in vain.

After questioning everyone one by one, several yamen servants went into Zhou Qihuan's room and searched carefully.

There must always be a reason for killing someone, such as robbing money, robbing sex, and seeking revenge.Wu Zuo confirmed that Zhou Qihuan was not defiled, so there were only the latter two possibilities.

They took all of Zhou Qihuan's belongings into the yard, especially the gold and silver jewelry, and put together what they had taken from Zhou Qihuan's body.

"Lin Xue, look, what's missing from your wife's belongings?"

Lin Xue picked up his energy to look carefully, seemed to think of something for a while, and hurriedly said: "The white jade bracelet doesn't seem to be there, it was worn by Qi Huan all the time, she said it was given by her mother when she got married, so it's very strange value."

"Are there any others?"

"No, it's the white jade bracelet."

Those yamen servants checked again in the inner and outer rooms of the second room, and then they were led by Lin Wei to visit Qinghe Village to see if they could find any clues.

Before leaving the old house, Lin Mu subconsciously glanced at Liu Yunqiao. Her expression was the same, but her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her skirt.Lin Mu was taken aback, at this moment, Liu Yunqiao squinted over, Lin Mu was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Ji Ruixiu beside him.Ji Ruixiu noticed something was wrong with Lin Mu, and happened to see Liu Yunqiao's eyes, he moved and hid Lin Mu behind him, Liu Yunqiao lowered his head when he saw this.

Ji Ruixiu led Lin Mu out of the old house. After a while, Lin Mu calmed down.
