When Master Liu took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lan Doumi, Lan Doumi stretched out his hand and took it back.

He said with some uncertainty: "Is it really rewarded to me by adults?"

Seeing this, Master Liu smiled slightly.

"Don't you know? Detective Hong will tell the adults all the work you have done in this case, take it quickly."

Rigo?

When Lan Doumi heard this, he smiled and took the silver in his hand.

Tsk, the money for giving birth to a baby is two taels more.

"By the way, why didn't you see Brother Rui and Brother Zhao?"

Lan Dou Mi was a little puzzled.

He didn't see Hong Qingrui when he called in.

Although the turmoil of the flower pickers had passed, Mrs. Sun still didn't want to put Lan Doumi back in the yamen. In his words, he was alone at home and had no one to talk with him, so it would be more lively with Lan Doumi at home.

Lan Doumi and Sun Fulang had hit each other before, and the relationship between Sun Fulang's family and Hong Qingrui was there, so Lan Doumi agreed, and now he still lives in Sun's family.

"There was a case in Qinghe Village, they left early in the morning."

Qinghe Village is named after the villagers based on the Qinghe River that surrounds the village.

"Others rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but we live next to the water. If there was a drought that year, if this river were not there, our village would not have so many people."

The person who spoke was about forty years old, with a dark face and a thick back. Perhaps because his skin was too dark, he looked younger than his peers. This person was the village head of Qinghe Village, Chen Shi.

"Although our village is next to the river, no one has jumped down for so many years. How would you know..."

At this time, the person who spoke was standing beside Chen Shi. He was Chen Shi's only son, Chen Yu.

Compared with the tall and mighty father, Chen Yu's is much thinner.

It is said that he was born when he was not yet full-term, so his body is weaker than ordinary people.

Hong Qingrui frowned slightly looking at the salvaged corpse.

Farmers all get up early, and the older generation don't feel much sleepy.

An uncle Li in the village has a habit. As long as it is not raining, he will go to the field to work for a while before going home for breakfast.

He did the same today.

Because his home is not far from the river, and he lives across the river, so he has to pass by the bridge. Although this old man is a bit old and his eyes are not very useful, his nose is very sharp.

As soon as he stepped on the bridge, he smelled a strange smell. Following the strange smell, he came to the river and walked up until there was a big rock.

The old man's eyesight was useless, and before dawn, he regarded the corpse in the river as someone else's clothes dropped in the river, so he took off the hoe he was carrying on his shoulder, trying to hook the clothes back to the bank .

I don't want to feel a heavy feeling as soon as I hook that thing.

The strange smell from the tip of the nose became stronger.

The old man began to feel that something was wrong, he moved the hoe on the "clothes" with trembling hands, then retracted the hoe and held it in front of his eyes.

What catches the eye is a piece of soaked human skin.

The old man yelled and quarreled with the people closest to the river. The young man ran over to take a look and found the corpse. official.

Wang Yuzuo carefully inspected the corpse without changing his face.

The surrounding villagers thought the smell was too strong, and they all stood a few feet away.

"how?"

After Hong Qingrui covered Wang Wuzuo's body, she stepped forward and asked.

"The deceased was about [-] years old. He was a brother. He was soaked in the water for about half a month. His face and hands were eaten by things in the water. It was very troublesome."

Wang Yuzuo said expressionlessly.

Now that it was summer, the weather was already hot, and the corpse had been soaked in the water for so long, and nothing could be found.

Hong Qingrui looked at Chen Shi, "Is there really no brother missing in the village?"

Chen Shi nodded quickly, "In order to prevent the villagers from talking, I even asked someone to knock on the door with me one by one. I really didn't miss anyone."

"Could it be from another village?"

Zhao Fangjun turned his head and said.

Hong Qingrui looked at the upper reaches of the river. There are seven or eight villages on the Qingshui River, but the river above is small and slow. It is impossible for the body to be found upstream for so long...

"Bring the body back to the Yamen."

"Yes!"

Hong Qingrui's leaving footsteps stopped again, and he looked at the Chen family father and son, "Don't make ridiculous rumors before this matter is found out."

Chen Shi nodded with a heavy face, "Don't worry, the villain knows what to do."

After Hong Qingrui and others left, Chen Shi hurriedly held a village meeting and told the villagers not to speak nonsense to outsiders.

After returning to the Yamen, Wang Wuzuo called Hong Qingrui aside.

"It stands to reason that the corpse has been soaked in the river for so long in summer. It shouldn't be that only the face and hands will be eaten by the water, and let alone the smell of the corpse in such a hot day, it is said that the corpse has been in the water for so long. It should have sunk, not floated, and got stuck between the rocks."

Hong Qingrui nodded when he heard the words, "I understand," but because he was in front of many villagers at that time, he didn't say anything.

The face is gone, it is afraid that people will recognize the corpse, and the hands are gone, it may be to cover up the truth of the death of the corpse.

In other words, the face and hands were all gone to cover up the truth.

Hong Qingrui did not go to see Gu Changwen after bidding farewell to Wang Yuzuo, but instead called Zhao Fangjun, "Go and find out the population of Qinghe County, whether it is married in or out, count them all, and then make unannounced visits one by one to see if there are any. No one is missing."

Zhao Fangjun's eyes lit up, this job is interesting.

After Zhao Fangjun left, Hong Qingrui went to find Gu Changwen.

After listening to Hong Qingrui's analysis, Gu Changwen raised his hand and touched his chin, "So, the murderer is from Qinghe Village?"

"Not only the murderer, but also the victim should be from Qinghe Village."

Hong Qingrui continued.

"Oh? Why?"

Gu Changwen straightened up, looked at Hong Qingrui and asked.

Hong Qingrui looked back at the other party indifferently, "Intuition."

Gu Changwen: ...hehehe.

Before Zhao Fangjun came back, Wang Yuzuo brought another piece of news.

Most of the bones in the chest of the deceased were broken, and he had been hit hard before his death, and there were many creases in the leg bones, which were old injuries.

The dead were often beaten during their lifetime.

Hong Qingrui lowered her eyes, and Lan Doumi quietly walked behind Hong Qingrui.

Hong Qingrui turned around almost the moment Lan Doumi stopped.

Originally wanted to be scary, but didn't want to be startled by Lan Doumi:  …

"scared?"

The corner of Hong Qingrui's mouth raised slightly, and it disappeared in a flash.

Lan Doumi nodded immediately, leaned towards Hong Qingrui, and said in a weak voice, "It frightened me."

The sound was as artificial as it could be.

Not to mention Qian He who passed by and shook his body, even Hong Qingrui couldn't take it anymore.

"speak politely."

Landoumi: "...I was frightened, that's the sound."

Hong Qingrui obviously didn't believe it.

"When you're scared, you just scream and jump, looking for trees to climb up."

When Lan Doumi heard this, not only did she not feel the embarrassment of being pierced, but she was a little shy, "It's been so many years, and you still remember it so clearly."

Hong Qingrui turned her head a little uncomfortably, "Because there are no trees around most of the time, you just climb on top of me."

Speaking of this, Hong Qingrui seemed to smell the scent of that milk baby again.

He hurriedly raised his feet to walk outside the yamen, and Lan Doumi followed after his spirits perked up.

"My lord said let me handle the case with you."

"Ok?"

"He said your instincts might be wrong."

Hong Qingrui: .....hehehe.

It took Zhao Fangjun an afternoon to figure out the people in the village.

Qian He stared at the booklet in Zhao Fangjun's hand in astonishment, "There are so many people, did you find them all in one afternoon?"

Zhao Fangjun puffed out his chest proudly when he heard the words, "That's right, it doesn't matter who I am."

Qian He narrowed his eyes and snatched the booklet from him. It didn't matter if he looked at it, but he understood the reason why Zhao Fangjun finished the job so quickly.

"You... peeked at someone's village tree?"

In addition to the genealogy, each household in the village also has a village genealogy, which is held by every village head. When a child is born in the village, or the village marries a foreigner, it must be recorded in it.

Zhao Fangjun snatched it back, "I also want to find out the truth of the case quickly!"

Qian He rolled his eyes.

"Coming back so soon?"

Hong Qingrui's cold voice came from behind the two of them.

Zhao Fangjun quickly handed the brochure in his hand to Hong Qingrui, "There are 73 families in the village, 32 young brothers in the village, and 43 married people, all recorded in the past five years."

Hong Qingrui's hand holding the booklet stopped, Zhao Fangjun was a little nervous.

"Go on."

Hearing this, Zhao Fangjun breathed a sigh of relief, that's great, Brother Hong didn't say anything about him.

"Six of the married brothers died of dystocia, three died of illness, and the rest lived well."

Hong Qingrui closed the booklet, "I was negligent, check to see if there is anyone in the village who bought it from a kidnapper."

Zhao Fangjun and Qian He immediately left the Yamen one after the other.

Lan Dou Mi is watching tea at a tea shop.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop is a man in his 50s. Because the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, it looks like everyone is smiling, so children like to call him "Smile".

Naturally, Lan Dou Mi didn't come here for tea, this Xiao Ah is from Qinghe Village.

"Ah, something happened in the village!"

Before Lan Doumi came forward to deal with her, Ah Mo, who was in her thirties, hurried into the shop.

In addition to Landoumi, there were several customers in the shop. After hearing this, they all turned around and looked at Xiao Ahmo and the other two.

Xiao Ahmo gave the messenger a cold look, then smiled at Lan Doumi and the others, "My nephew Lang always likes to make a fuss, guest officer, don't mind."

After speaking, he pulled the man into the backyard.

Lan Doumi looked at the man who was working beside him, "Can I borrow the toilet?"

buddy: ? ? ?

The author has something to say: Dude: Our toilets are not for rent!

Landoumi: I can't hold back anymore.

The guy hesitated for a while: One penny at a time?

Landoumi: Give me twenty cents!

Dude: .....is this pulling, or.....eating.....
