Nongmen Shenjue

After Tao Peng entered Zeng's house, he never came out, which shows that his dream of getting rich failed.

Given that Tao Peng is addicted to gambling, it is normal for him not to return home for several days, and Tao's mother is used to it even if she can't find him.It took half a month for Liu Yunzhi to get married, and this half month should be enough for Zeng He to come up with a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone.

The time jumps to the night of Liu Yunzhi's death, a carriage detours to the back door of Zeng's house, and the men and Mother Tao get off the carriage.

"Wait!" The man left a sentence, sent the carriage into the house, came out later, threw the sack on his shoulders on the ground, and there was a muffled groan from inside the sack.

"Peng'er." Mother Tao knelt on the ground and hurriedly untied the sack, and sure enough, Tao Peng was bound by his hands and feet and gagged.

The man was condescending and threatened in a cold voice: "You killed someone, and you were caught by the government to die! Now you have only one way to live. Pack up your things and leave Shizhu Town immediately."

"But, but..." Mother Tao didn't cry when she killed the murderer, but seeing her son suffer now, the mother and son are about to flee from their homeland, pain and despair.

The man sneered: "For the sake of your cooperation, the master promised you one thing. Go back and bring your household registration, and set off before dawn. There is a teahouse on the roadside not far from Yang's house. Next to the teahouse are two tangled trees. There is a big tree with a paper bag buried under the root, which is a guide for you. Let’s go, the farther you go, the better!”

After all, the mother and son of the Tao family obeyed each other's arrangements, but unexpectedly, returning home was a dead end.

What the man said about road guides and household registration seemed to be very considerate for the mother and son of the Tao family, but in fact it was to dispel their doubts and make them return home obediently.The mother and son of the Tao family had to follow suit, because even if they wanted to flee, they would not be able to escape far without household registration and guidance.

If the government wants them, they will indeed post a wanted list, but as long as there is no strict investigation, they are still likely to get away with it.

At least in the early stages of fleeing, household registration guides are essential.

On the way home, Tao Peng hid the money stolen by Tao's mother in a grass pit beside the road.

Clinker, the man followed behind, and took away the belongings.

Mu Qingyan and the two returned to the inn, and sure enough they heard the news brought by the servants of the Yang family, searched the Tao family, but did not find any property.As for the guides under the tree in the teahouse, there is no need to look for them, they are definitely non-existent.

It's a pity that Mu Qingyan doesn't know how to draw portraits, otherwise, if he draws the man's appearance, he can ask Yang Rubai to identify him.

However, this has little effect. We can proceed to the next step only after Chen Shiliu has a result.

There were quite a few pawnshops, large and small, in the county town. Chen Shiliu and Gao Tianbing split up, copied a few more copies of the drawings, hired people to look for them separately, and finally searched all the pawnshops before dark.Three or four of them reported the news, and Chen Shiliu personally checked one by one, and finally confirmed that there was a pawn shop that had exactly the same items as Mu Qingyan described.

The guy who handled it at the time recalled: "The man came to pawn things, not only these two gold ornaments, but also a pair of silver bracelets and three jade flowers the size of jujube stones. He said it was his mother's dowry back then, who doesn't know He, even if there were good things in his house, he would have gambled away, not to mention that there is still mud in the gaps of the jewelry, it must be in the soil..."

The shopkeeper coughed loudly at the side, and the stop guy didn't cover his mouth.

Aren't things dug out of the earth not grave robbers?

Excavating graves is a crime. They accept funerary goods in pawnshops. If it spreads, it will not only ruin their reputation, but it will also be bad for them.These things can be received but cannot be said.

Chen Shiliu skipped this point with a wink, and asked with a smile, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know what his name is, but he has been here several times, just as a thing. Such a person, without illness or disaster, must be a frequent visitor to the casino."

Chen Shiliu followed Mu Qingyan's instructions and redeemed the things, which cost 25 taels of silver.

The weight of the two gold tiaras is not very heavy, on the contrary, the workmanship is rare, and there is basically no damage, so the price is considerable.Coupled with the silver bracelet and the small jade flower, it is deadly, and there is only a high price of 25 taels of silver.

Just as Chen Shiliu was about to leave, he remembered something and asked, "Do you know which craftsman this gold jewelry is from?"

"Yes, there is a mark on it, from Xiangruizhai."

Chen Shiliu turned the peony hairpin over, and there was indeed an auspicious cloud engraved on the back of the hairpin, and there was a small word "Mo" on the base of the flower.According to the current custom, the surname of the woman who owns the jewelry is Mo, or her husband's family name is Mo.

Chen Shiliu inquired about Xiangruizhai again, and returned to Shizhu Town happily.

With the clues brought back by Chen Shiliu, the layout began that night.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Early in the morning, the big gong of Shizhu Town rang, not the gong for the opening of the play. The townspeople were familiar with this rhythm, and it was usually only rang when there were important events announced.Many people who were about to go out and open shops stopped, looking in the direction of the sound of the gong, and soon saw a person running and knocking on the street.

"Er Shun, what happened?"

"There is a dead person!" Er Shun's face was full of shock: "It's a dead person's bone, it's better. The security chief asked me to inform everyone, keep an eye on the children of each family, and don't go south. I still want to find Dagen and the others, but the security chief has sent people to go. The county government has reported to the officials, and the south will be guarded."

There was no beginning or end to what he said, but words such as "dead people, bones" aroused the nerves of the townspeople.There was a murder case just now, could it be that someone died again?

For a while, everyone was terrified, and they didn't dare to go to the south to watch the excitement.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the sun dispelled the haze, and people's curious nature emerged again, and they flocked to the south.

Many people surrounded the old house of the Zeng family in the south, and they all knew that the Ruyi troupe lived here. People thought that something happened to the troupe.When I got to the place and took a look, it turned out that it wasn't an accident with the troupe, or even someone died, or that the person died because of something wrong.

"Dead bones! I saw it with my own eyes. On the edge of the bamboo forest, a big pit collapsed, exposing the white bones. There was a brave man in the troupe who even picked it up with his hands. Oh, I didn't expect it, more than that." It's a white bone. Baochang's face changed, and he hurriedly sent someone to report to the police."

"How did this hole come about? I remember it collapsed before? The Zeng family even came to fill it in."

"See that the courtyard wall is gone, it's collapsed!"

Indeed, the courtyard wall of Zeng's old house next to the bamboo forest collapsed for unknown reasons.This fall, not only a large earth pit appeared outside the courtyard wall, but also a large earth pit in the courtyard, but everyone could see clearly that the earth pit in the courtyard should be a cellar, and the cellar entrance was still left.

"It is said that during breakfast, people from the theater troupe suddenly heard a muffled rumble. They ran over to see that the courtyard wall had collapsed, and only then did they discover the dead man in the pit."

The Baochang organized people to surround the pit and stood there with a heavy face.

Leader Li of the Ruyi troupe also had a serious look on his face, with his brows furrowed.

Outside the crowd, Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue arrived late.

"Brother Mu, look!" Chen Shiliu came running over early, with the corners of his mouth curled up, unable to hide his complacency.

Yang Rubai was beside him, he didn't know what was going on, but when he saw those bones, his expression was very ugly.

This play was designed by Mu Qingyan in order to attract the government to intervene and contact the Zeng family head-on.

The pit was dug in advance at night, and it was camouflaged to cover up the traces of excavation.The collapse of the courtyard wall was kicked by Gao Tian, ​​so he kicked it very hard, and he was not worried about being discovered the real reason for the collapse of the courtyard wall, because after seeing those bones, people's attention will be Transfer, don't bother with the courtyard wall at all.After all, the old house of the Zeng family has been idle for many years, and it is basically not maintained or repaired. It is not unusual for a wall to be knocked down.

It was an accident that the cellar in the courtyard was revealed, but it was also reasonable.

The cellar is very old, and the soil layer is a little thin. It was because of Tao Peng and Liu Yunzhi that they fell into the pit.

There was a commotion, and everyone in the troupe noticed it.The theatrical troupe is an outsider, so it is unavoidable to be involved, so naturally they dare not move the scene rashly, so they notified the security chief and others as soon as possible.

Team leader Li originally wanted to inform the Zeng family, but was dismissed by Ye Luoqiu's few words.

Dead people are not trivial matters, and the theater troupe also lives in the Zeng family's old house all the year round, in case the Zeng family ignores them or falsely accuses them... Don't say that the Zeng family master is kind or anything, when something big happens, people are selfish.

Leader Li really didn't dare to gamble, especially knowing that the Zeng family was a bit secretive, so he acquiesced to notify the security chief.

Because there was only a major case in Shizhu Town, this time the police found the bones again, and the county government came very quickly.

Clean up the soil layer, dig up the bones, and inspect them one by one.

When everyone saw the corpse, they couldn't help taking two steps back, surprised and terrified.

There were three skeletons in total, and two of them were women with jewelry on their bodies.

The jewelry was the ones that Chen Shiliu redeemed from the pawnshop and buried them again.

Wu made a preliminary inspection: "Two women and one man died at about the same time. The man was about 40 to [-] years old, and his skull showed signs of blunt instrument trauma. The hostess wearing gold ornaments showed signs of childbirth, and she wore a silver bracelet. No injuries can be seen on the woman's body, and the specific cause of death of the two will be further investigated."

Chief Jiang asked, "How long have you been dead?"

"It must have been a long time. The initial judgment is in three to five years, and the specifics need to be carefully checked." Authors have their own methods of autopsy, and moreover, they can learn from experience to a large extent. It will be compared with similar bones that have come into contact with in the past.

"Hurry up, the county magistrate is furious and wants me to solve the case within a time limit." Chief Jiang's face was very ugly.

Jiang Butou can be regarded as inheriting his father's career, he is quite talented and has solved many cases.However, in recent days, Shizhu Town has had a series of incidents, which made him uneasy. As a police officer, he had a vague feeling that these cases might be related to each other.

All the jewelry on the corpse was removed and placed on the white cloth.

Boss Jiang was very experienced, and soon discovered the marks on the gold ornaments.
