Chapter 272 Another Dead Man,

After the visitor stopped, Ye Xing immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The official hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Back to Lord Ye, Lord Hou asked Lord Ye to go to the moat with his humble position, because this morning the yamen received a report that a corpse was found on the bank of the moat, and that corpse was very similar to the person described by the shopkeeper, that is, the person who accompanied Zhang Wall and Li Hu to eat together. ”

When Ye Xing heard this, he was suddenly startled, no wonder the person didn't come last night, it turned out that he was killed on the bank of the moat.

"Lead us to the moat." Ye Xing hurriedly ordered, and the official did not stop, and led Ye Xing and them towards the moat.

When the few of them came to the bank of the moat, there were already a lot of people gathered there, Hou Dabao asked some catchers to surround the corpses and prevent those people from coming forward, and when Hou Dabao saw Ye Xing, he hurriedly greeted him,

"Lord Ye, you are finally here, I have already asked my subordinates to protect this corpse and the scene, just wait for Lord Ye to come." Hou Dabao said this, which made Ye Xing very annoying, as if Hou Dabao couldn't do anything and would only rely on himself,

However, the scene was very well protected, Ye Xing came to the corpse, and saw a big man, with a beard and a round face, as described by the shopkeeper in the inn.

Ye Xing carefully examined the corpse, and found that this person was discarded here after being killed by someone with a sword, the clothes on the corpse were a little damp, but it was only stained with dew, and the corpse was not thrown into the moat.

This is very strange, usually after the murderer kills, he will dispose of the corpse, but after the murderer kills the person, he just disposes of the corpse here, and has no intention of destroying the corpse.

Why is this?

The footprints nearby were already very messy, and he couldn't see anything, Ye Xing got up and looked at Hou Dabao and asked, "Who found the body?" ”

At this time, a skinny man walked out of the crowd, he came to Ye Xing tremblingly, and said cautiously: "It's me." ”

"Tell me what you saw at the time."

The man nodded, and then said, "I am the incense of osmanthus and the incense of the night, and this morning when the sky was bright, I pulled my carriage out of the city, but when I came to the moat, I found a man lying here, and I thought that there was something suspicious about it, and who would lie here in the early morning, so I went boldly to the man, and when I turned the man over, I found that the man was bleeding from his chest, and the man was dead." ”

After the scrawny man finished speaking, he stood there and did not dare to say another word,

Ye Xing smiled faintly and asked, "Then what can you find on this corpse?" ”

Ye Xing asked like this, the skinny man was a little scared, and hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not, after I found out that this person was dead, I was very scared, so I hurriedly ran back to the city to report the case, I really didn't touch this body at all." ”

Ye Xing nodded, he believed what this skinny man said,

Hou Dabao walked up at this time and asked, "What did Master Ye find?" ”

Ye Xing shook his head: "I didn't find anything, you go and find the shopkeeper in the inn, ask him to identify the body, see if this person is the person who ate with Zhang Wall and Li Hu that day, and then put the body at the city gate to see if anyone recognizes this person." ”

Hou Dabao hurriedly received the order, and then went to do the two things that Ye Xing explained, while Ye Xing and the others returned to the city and went to the inn to rest.

Anyway, at noon, Ye Xing and the others rested, and several of them were also hungry, so they ordered a large table of food, but they didn't have a few bites, Hou Dabao hurriedly came,

Ye Xingchang sighed and asked Di Xiaojie and them to continue eating, while he looked at Hou Dabao and asked, "Hou County Ling has made a discovery." ”

Hou Dabao nodded hurriedly: "There is indeed a discovery, the person who was killed, the shopkeeper has already recognized, it is indeed the person who ate with Zhang Wall and Li Hu, and this person has also been recognized, it is the owner of the jade shop in the east of the city, called Sun Qing, who often does some underground transactions, and many jade stones in his shop are not coming from the right way." ”

When Ye Xing heard this, he understood something, but he didn't say it.

At this time, Di Xiaojie hurriedly said: "In this way, Zhang Wall and Li Hu were trading jewelry with this Sun Qing that day, but among them, some of them had evil intentions, so they poisoned their wine glasses. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with what Di Xiaojie said, but Ye Xing just smiled faintly, which made people very incomprehensible.

"Lord Hou should be tired after a long day, why don't you sit down and eat with us." Ye Xing looked at Hou Dabao and asked, Hou Dabao hurriedly shook his hand and smiled: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm not tired, how can I feel tired when I do things for the people and Lord Ye." ”

Ye Xing had no choice but to do so, and Hou Dabao saw that there was nothing wrong, so he also retired and left.

But after Hou Dabao left, Hua Zhimeng looked at Ye Xing and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Ye Xing pondered for a long time and said, "I'll see you tonight." ”

Ye Xing said this, proving that he already had a very clear understanding of the case, but they were still in the clouds.

After lunch, they rested for a while, and then took a dip in the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and did not return until evening.

After a few of them came back, they took a short rest, and then quietly left the inn with Ye Xing, but they didn't understand what Ye Xing was going to do.

The night of spring is very attractive, so the night of osmanthus fragrance spring is also lively, until the time of the palm lamp, the pedestrians on the road are gradually scarce,

"You're going to take us there." Hua Zhimeng asked,

Ye Xing smiled faintly: "County government." ”

"What are you going to do at the county office?" Everyone is puzzled,

"Catch the real killer in this case." What Ye Xing said was still plain,

But Di Xiaojie and the others stopped talking, they felt that it was too incredible at this time, how could there be a murderer in the county government?

However, since Ye Xing said so, he would not be wrong, so they could only follow Ye Xing, and then wait for Ye Xing to surprise them,

They have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and they don't know if one day they don't have this kind of surprise, their life will be much duller.

Maybe so, maybe not, but they never thought about it, because they never thought they would leave one day.
