The soldiers brought the things that Hualuo wanted, those were deserters from two years ago, and they were all people who fled after the people near Linxi City joined the army.

Throughout the ages, fighting a war and being a soldier has always been an extremely hard thing, unless it is a last resort, no one will want to be a soldier, and after becoming a soldier, if it is not for some people with great ambitions, I am afraid that most of them are thinking of escaping.

Naturally, there were more than these four deserters two years ago, but most of those people were transferred from other places and would not have anything to do with the murder in Linjia Village, so it was not in Hualang's consideration.

Hua Lang opened the records and found that one of the four deserters was over 50 years old and had been in charge of cooking in the army, and had been sent out to buy ingredients two years ago.

Another person, who was not yet eighteen years old, could not endure the hardships of the army, so he fled secretly.

The remaining two people are over 20 years old and under 30 years old, these two people are called Zhao Tong and Qian Bi respectively, these two are good at fighting, killing the enemy without leaving any face, and they have been commended several times in the barracks, but two years ago, I don't know why Lu Dao disappeared suddenly.

In this barracks, many people flee every day for one reason or another, although the two of them are missing strangely, and everyone doesn't understand why the two of them are missing, but in this kind of place, everyone doesn't care about the two people who are missing, so the two of them are gone, and no one is looking for them.

After discovering the suspicion, Hua Lang was very excited, and hurriedly asked, "How did these two join the barracks?" ”

The matter of the small soldiers, a commander like Bai Ji naturally can't be remembered by everyone, so he found the guard who admitted the two of them at that time to inquire, the guard thought about it and said: "These two people said that they are both people near Linxi City, because of a surprise attack by the people of the Western Xia Dynasty, their homes were destroyed, and they wanted to resist foreign humiliation, so they thought of joining the barracks, at that time the two of them were not very old, probably in their teens, and their bodies were not very strong, at first I did not agree with them joining the army, But then they insisted on joining the army, and when I saw that they were so resolute, I agreed, but at first I didn't let them go to war, just let them do what they could. ”

"Did they come together?"

"Yes, they came together, but they didn't seem to know each other before."

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and the two of them entered the barracks together, and then disappeared together, which is indeed extremely strange, but these two people have a surname Zhao and a surname Qian, and they have nothing to do with Linjia Village, could it be that they changed their names?

As far as Hua Lang knows, near Linxi City, there are indeed people with the surnames Zhao and Qian, but they are all foreign surnames, and the population is not very large.

Unable to ask anything from the barracks, Hua Lang and Yin Wuxian got up to say goodbye, Bai Ji still wanted to keep Yin Wuxian, but when he found out that Yin Wuxian and Hua Lang looked at each other, he knew that no matter how much effort he made, it was in vain, and he had to sigh in his heart and let them leave.

After leaving the barracks, Yin said without mistake: "If the murderer is really a deserter two years ago, then it must be one of Zhao Tong and Qian Bi." ”

There is nothing wrong with Yin and no mistake, Hua Lang nodded in agreement, but it is useless to know that these are useless, they can't find these two people, everything is just conjecture, and in this place, it is too vast, hiding one or two people is to find it for a year, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find, besides, the situation in this place is very complicated, if they are not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, then it is even more impossible to find them.

Therefore, they have found a lot of clues in this investigation, but it is not certain whether these clues are really useful.

When they returned to Linxi City, it was getting late, but the two of them were not in a hurry to go home, but went to Linxi Yamen first, and after entering Linxi Yamen, Tong Zhuo immediately greeted him and said, "Dude, the matter of Lin Ben has been inquired about clearly, do you want to listen?" ”

Hua Lang came to the yamen to inquire about this matter, and now that he has heard it, he is overjoyed and says, "Naturally, I want to hear it." ”

After a few people sat down in the living room, a servant hurriedly ran over, saluted everyone first, and then said: "Then Lin Ben has already inquired clearly, he and his own people have always lived in Linjia Village outside Linxi City, and there is nothing to write about in his life, because there are often wars in this place, and those Western Xia soldiers often come here to plunder, so sometimes Lin Ben will take his people to temporarily leave the place where they have lived for generations, but they are different from others, after others leave, they rarely come back, But they don't, after they leave, when the chaos subsides, they will return to Linjia Village again, and then start their lives again. ”

"What else has been investigated?"

The official looked a little hesitant, and said: "Lin Ben has never done the so-called evil thing in his life, but sometimes for the comfort of his own people, he will say something too extreme, as far as we know from the investigation, once the Western Xia soldiers attacked the nearby village, Lin Ben saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly organized the clansmen to evacuate, there were many things that were too late to clean up, but for everyone's life, he advocated that those things should not be wanted, first immediately here is important, at that time there was a family that had to take things away, This made Lin Ben very angry, and he abandoned the family and ran away with people. ”

Hearing this, Hua Lang seemed to have found some important clues, and hurriedly asked, "What about the family at the bottom?" ”

The official shook his head: "I don't know how to do it, the Western Xia soldiers at that time didn't really rush to kill their existence, but that family disappeared, and no one knows what happened." ”

Another secret matter, Hua Lang and Yin Wuyi listened to it, more or less a little guess, judging from the current situation, the murderer may only kill Lin Ben, and the only person who Lin Ben may offend in his life is the family that refused to flee together, that family is missing, no one knows what happened at that time, but they are missing, so it is not difficult to imagine that they must have been hit hard at that time, so they sent their resentment to Lin himself, And he did not hesitate to use the legend of Linjia Village to kill people.

If that's the case, then the next thing they have to do is find the person in that household.
