Sun Bei is suspicious, but it's not time to move him yet.

And whether he can be moved depends on the news brought back by the officials.

Although the rainstorm stopped, the road was full of rain, and in some places it was even to the calf, Hualang and the others did not want to tread water, so they were ready to wait for the rain to go down tomorrow, and then go out to investigate, fortunately, the city gate was closed, and the murderer could not escape for the time being.

In the middle of the night, the frog chirping in Chang'an City sounded, and Hua Lang stood in front of the window looking at the night sky, and suddenly remembered a poem by Xin Qiji:

The bright moon is not a branch to frighten magpies, and the breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers says that there is a good year, and the sound of frogs is heard.

Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, at the edge of the forest of the Maodian Society, the road turned to the river bridge and suddenly saw it.

The words are beautiful, and the scenery described by the words is also beautiful, with a light and leisurely appearance, which makes people can't help but look out to this kind of life.

It's just that Hua Lang knows very well that although this kind of life is beautiful, it is not something that people like him can enjoy for a long time, in this world, there are not many people who are as indifferent to fame and fortune as Tao Yuanming, and there are no people who can have no desires and no desires.

He Hualang didn't say that it was impossible to live a dull life, even if he wanted to, the court would not allow it.

After chanting the words just now, Hua Lang let out a long sigh, and then turned around, and at this time Wen Meng was making the bed, she saw that Hua Lang seemed to be preoccupied, and asked, "What, Xianggong, are you worried about this murder?" ”

Hua Lang shrugged: "There are not many clues in this murder case at present, although it seems to be a little difficult to solve, but as long as there are more clues, it may be easy, and regardless of him, wait for the official to come to the news tomorrow." ”

Because of a heavy rainstorm, the temperature dropped slightly tonight, so it was very comfortable to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, the water level dropped, Hua Lang and others were waiting at home for the news of the officials, not long after the hour, a government officer hurriedly came, but the news brought by the officials was not related to Sun Bei, but news related to a dead corpse.

Outside Chang'an City, in the moat, a corpse emerged, a corpse that people couldn't bear to look at directly.

This was unexpected by Hua Lang and the others, they never expected that in the moat outside Chang'an City, there would be a corpse, and before they had time to think about it, Hua Lang immediately asked the official to lead them to the moat outside Chang'an.

On the way, the official told Hanaro that the reason why a body had surfaced was probably because of the heavy rain yesterday, which caused the water level of the moat to rise, and as a result, the corpses from other parts of the moat were washed here.

The situation and its possibility were like this, Hua Lang nodded and asked, "Can you send someone to look for the family of the deceased?" ”

The official was a little embarrassed, and after a long time, he said: "The corpse is no longer in appearance, I'm afraid it is not easy to find." ”

After that, Hua Lang didn't ask anything else, and rushed directly to the moat with the servant.

When he arrived at the moat, Li Jingan had already taken the officials to guard the place, and there were many people standing next to him, but these people who were watching the excitement did not dare to approach, because the appearance of the corpse was too scary.

After Li Jingan saw Hualang and the others coming, he immediately greeted him, and said with a nervous face: "Dude, the murder of this Du Kang Distillery has not been investigated clearly, and there is another murder here, this is ...... What a good thing that is! ”

Hua Lang frowned, he naturally knew that this matter was not easy to handle, but he couldn't help it.

After waving his hand slightly, Hua Lang sighed and said, "Let's look at the corpse first!" ”

Li Jing'an nodded again and again, and then pointed to the corpse on the bank of the river not far away, when Hua Lang saw the corpse, he couldn't help retching, and he vomited like this, not to mention Wen Menghua Wan'er and Yin Wuwu, although they had seen a lot of corpses, they could resist retching, and they were comparable to Hua Lang.

After Hua Lang vomited, he walked towards the corpse, and the corpse at this time was already decomposed, and in addition to the decay, there were maggots on the corpse, which was really disgusting and disgusting.

After finding a veil to cover his mouth and nose, Hua Lang ordered someone to bring clean water, and after washing the corpse, he carried the body to a clean place and began to examine, after some examination, Hua Lang found that the deceased had many wounds on his body, among which the head was the largest, which should be a fatal injury, and nothing else was found, and the clothes of the corpse began to rot, but there was nothing in it that could prove his identity.

However, judging from the texture of the clothes, it can be seen that the deceased's family background should be good.

After reading it like this, Hua Lang told his discovery again, and said: "Judging from the injuries on the deceased's body, the deceased had fought with people before he died, and the murderer gave the deceased an impact from the main entrance, which eventually led to the deceased being killed, and judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it should have been dead for more than ten days, soaked in water for more than ten days, and if it was found, it should have been discovered early, so I guess that the body may have been thrown into the water by the murderer, and it may have been hidden by the murderer elsewhere, and then because of a heavy rain yesterday, was washed into the moat. ”

Everyone has never doubted Hua Lang's autopsy skills, and now Hua Lang said that it is like this, then this corpse must be like this, although Li Jingan has not known Hua Lang for a long time, but he also agrees with Hua Lang's point of view, so after Hua Lang finished speaking, he hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Look, find the place where the body was before it was washed into the moat, maybe we can find some clues in that place."

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded their heads in response, and everyone felt that since the corpse could be washed into the moat by the rain, then the place where the corpse was located before must not be far from the moat, and as long as you look along the moat, you will definitely be able to find the location of that place.

After Li Jing'an sent the officials down, he pointed to a common person and said to Hua Lang: "Dude, the body was found by this person, do you have anything to ask?" ”

The people looked flustered, Hua Lang smiled lightly, waved his hand, people like him, asked if they couldn't ask anything, or let him leave.

The ordinary man hurriedly ran down, and at this time, Hua Lang suddenly looked at Li Jing'an and asked, "Lord Li, can you find the family of the deceased with a corpse like this?" ”

Li Jingan was a little embarrassed, but still said: "If the deceased is going to enter the city, and the family lives in Chang'an City, I think I will be able to find it, after all, there is one less person in the family, and it can be seen that the family of the deceased must also report to the official, and the official is ready to send someone to Chang'an City to inquire immediately to see if there is such a family. ”
