Chapter 190: The Gatekeeper Goes Missing

Chapter 190: The Gatekeeper Is Missing,

Ye Xing was about to go to Xiao Mansion to question Xiao Tianque,

But at this time, Jia Gui, the housekeeper of Jia Mansion, hurriedly came from outside, and after Jia Gui came to Ye Xing, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord Ye, something is wrong." ”

Ye Xing asked Jia Gui to get up, and then asked, "What's wrong, you take your time." ”

"Back to my lord's words, Lin Bo, the gatekeeper of Jiafu, is missing."

Ye Xing was suddenly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "It's the janitor who has seen the scar on his face." ”

Jia Gui nodded: "Yes, we have a janitor in Jiafu, but he has not seen anyone else since noon, and now he has not seen anyone when he is in Dushen, after I told Mrs. about this, Mrs. asked me to report the case." After Jia Gui finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xing, and his face was full of anxiety,

Ye Xing was a little strange, how could the janitor Lin Bo suddenly disappear, could it be that he found something, and was killed by the murderer,

Ye Xing felt a little bad when he thought of this, so he hurriedly said to Di Xiaojie: "Let the people of the Yamen go to find Lin Bo, and we will also go out to find it." ”

All the people from the Yamen were dispatched, but the matter of Ye Xing's going to Xiao Mansion was temporarily put on hold.

"Why did you say Limber disappeared suddenly?" Di Xiaojie asked Ye Xing a little puzzled, and at this time they were still looking for someone on the street,

Ye Xing pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know about this, we have to determine whether Lin Bo is missing or killed, only then can we investigate further." ”

Several of them were looking for Lin Bo on the street, and at this time, a servant chased after him from behind, and after he came to Ye Xing, he hurriedly said, "Go back to your lordship, we ...... We found Limber...... But he's dead. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Ye Xing hurriedly said, "Where is his body, take us quickly." ”

The official nodded hurriedly: "Lin Bo's body is in the place where Jia Youqian was killed." ”

When the group of them came to the moat again, there were already several officials guarding the corpse, and Limber was very old, and the place where he lay there was very small.

"A few of our brothers searched here and found Limber's body."

Ye Xing nodded, and then leaned over to inspect Lin Bo's body, Lin Bo's clothes were dry, which meant that he was not thrown into the river, there were no wounds on his body, and there were a few finger marks on his neck; Limber's mouth was wide open, and his tongue was already stiff,

"How did he die?" Hua Zhimeng looked at Ye Xing and asked,

Ye Xing glanced at Hua Zhimeng, and then said: "The clothes on Lin Bo's body are dry, which also excludes the possibility of being pushed off the moat, there are no knife wounds on his body, only finger marks on his neck, and his mouth is very long, indicating that he was very difficult to breathe at that time, and it can be deduced from these points that Lin Bo was strangled to death." ”

"But who would kill Limber, he's just a janitor." Di Xiaojie was a little puzzled, what is there to kill a janitor?

Ye Xing shook his head: "Although Lin Bo is a janitor, he knows everyone who enters and leaves the Lin Mansion, so the murderer's motive for killing him is already obvious, that is, the murderer is afraid that Lin Bo will recognize him, so he led Lin Bo here and killed him." ”

Hua Zhimeng had a different opinion: "If this is the case, then the murderer is the one with a scar on his face, but Lin Bo should be very aware of his danger, how could he come here and let the murderer kill him." ”

Hua Zhimeng said this, everyone thinks it's right, if you know that there is danger and go, wouldn't you become a fool,

Ye Xing pondered for a moment and then looked at Jia Gui and asked, "Where does Lin Bo live, take us there." ”

After Jia Gui nodded, he led Ye Xing and them to the place where Lin Bo lived, it was a very broken house, and the quilt inside seemed to have not been washed for a long time, Ye Xing looked around Lin Bo's room, then came to the bed and lifted Lin Bo's quilt, and when the quilt was lifted, a very heavy thing fell from the quilt, and the sound was crisp,

It was a bag, after Ye Xing opened the bag, he found that it was full of silver, as many as a few hundred taels.

A janitor has a few hundred taels of silver, which is simply impossible, so Jia Gui and Di Xiaojie were also surprised, but Ye Xing smiled slightly: "Now that the matter is clear, it must be Lin Bo who found something, so he threatened the murderer to give him silver, but since the murderer can kill Jia Youqian, he can naturally kill Lin Bo." ”

Everyone sighed, and those who underestimated the murderer often had only one ending,

It was getting dark, Ye Xing and the others didn't have any clues about Lin Bo's death, after they returned to the county office, Xu Ruoxuan and they had already returned, but their faces were ugly, and they didn't make any progress in looking for the man with the scar on his face.

"Don't blame yourselves, just forget if you can't find it." Ye Xing comforted them like this,

Xu Ruoxuan nodded, but he still couldn't help but say: "I don't understand, the entire Qingyang County is so big, but we don't even have a shadow of the person with the scar on his face, he seems to have disappeared out of thin air." ”

Everyone feels this way, but they can't say why.

Everyone looked at Ye Xing, they wanted to hear what Ye Xing thought about this matter, but Ye Xing just smiled and said, "I see that everyone is tired after looking for a day, so let's go and rest early." ”

Ye Xing didn't want to say it, they didn't have a choice, not to mention that they were really tired,

When everyone dispersed, Ye Xing stood in front of the window and looked at the night scene outside, the night was not very good, the moon was unknown, and the stars were not numerous, giving people a feeling of lifelessness, Ye Xing looked at it like this, and looked at it for a long time, as if there were infinite mysteries in the night sky,

Ye Xing smiled faintly, thinking that this matter should also be over,

A meteor flashed from the sky, scratched a bright mark, and then disappeared without a trace.

The meteor was too fast, so fast that Ye Xing didn't have time to make a wish, and if Ye Xing could make a wish, what would he wish, Ye Xing laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't know,

And at this time, just as Ye Xing was about to close the window and sleep, he saw Hua Zhimeng's room opposite, the window was also open, and Hua Zhimeng was folding his hands and closing his eyes to make a wish,

Hua Zhimeng will make a wish Ye Xing doesn't know, it's just that the meteor has passed, will it still be a spirit if he makes a wish?

When Ye Xing looked at Hua Zhimeng's room again, Hua Zhimeng's window had been closed, thinking that she was also sleepy, Ye Xing smiled, and also folded his hands to make a wish, as long as there is a wish in his heart, what does it matter if there is a meteor or not,

Ye Xing smiled faintly, and then closed the window and went to bed.
