Seeing his appearance, Song Wuya also turned around immediately: "Okay! The county magistrate doesn't have to send him away, if there is any new progress, just send someone to the inn to find me."
Song Wuya didn't have the time to make the county magistrate get close to him. Now that he encountered this case, he was going to stay in this small Huncheng County for the time being.
Song Wuya basically knew what kind of man Man Niu was, but the person who took him to court today probably used the same methods as Man Niu.
But after thinking about it, it seems that this situation is a little different.After all, what the waiter said in his mouth was that the bull had tricked many people, but obviously he didn't say anything about the yamen.It can be seen that Man Niu cheated people, and I'm afraid it was only resolved in private.
And the thief in front of him actually went to court directly, which shows that he doesn't care about it.In this way, Song Wuya had to doubt the relationship between the county magistrate and this thief.
"Brother Wu Ya, I think this county magistrate is very problematic! Do you think there is any relationship between him and that thief?" Bai Zhuo also expressed doubts about this matter.
It wasn't just him, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan who packed their luggage and followed behind them also looked angry.
"Does it need to be said? It must have something to do with this dog official, otherwise, how could he enter the yamen openly, and bring Mr. Bai and Young Master to the court?" Xiaohuan said angrily, cursing .
In her eyes, this county magistrate is not a good official.Not only that, Xiaohuan also thinks that this matter has something to do with the county magistrate.
Situ Wen patted Xiaohuan lightly, glared at her and said, "What kind of dog is not a dog official? Xiaohuan, you don't even look at the people around you when you talk? Even the ones walking in front of you are also dogs. officer?"
What Situ Wen said was making fun of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.
As soon as she said this, Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wuya with a wry smile: "Brother Wuya, don't you talk about Miss Situ? How did the two of us become dog officials?"
"Isn't it? Today's incident, although we know that it has nothing to do with us. But if people who don't know the truth read it, what do you think they will think? They will definitely think that we are officials protecting each other, otherwise they will become dog officials. Is it?" Song Wuya was quite open-minded, not only did not blame Situ Wen for scolding them as a dog official, but instead helped Situ Wen to give Bai Zhuo a break.
Bai Zhuo, who didn't dare to be disrespectful to Situ Wen, wanted Song Wuya to punish Situ Wen a little bit, but in the end, he was reprimanded again.
It was only then that he realized that this was called a woman singing a husband's suit, and he was just making fun of himself.
There was no more to say, so Bai Zhuo simply skipped this section.
"Brother Wu Ya, do you think these yamen servants are reliable? Can they find clues?"
"If you're unreliable, you have to drive them away, what else? With the manpower of the four of us, I'm afraid that if we find the clues, the day lily will be cold." Song Wuya expressed helplessness.
When Bai Zhuo heard this, it was a waste of time to ask again. He shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
The four of them walked towards the inn. Huncheng County is indeed not as prosperous as Nantou County, and there are too few business travelers here.The streets are deserted, and the number of people you can meet is really limited.
As he was walking, Song Wuya suddenly said, "That's right! This bull has been cheating in this city all day long, yet no one bothers him. Isn't that justified?"
"Brother Wuya, what is there to say? I think there are probably other accomplices behind this bull. Otherwise, he alone will not be able to cause any big storms!" Bai Zhuo said disapprovingly. with.
Song Wuya nodded: "If that's the case, then his accomplice may be the murderer. But why did the murderer choose a pair of scissors as the murder weapon?"
"I can't figure it out. Maybe he just saw the scissors and just picked up the scissors?" Bai Zhuo shook his head, expressing that he couldn't figure it out.
Indeed, the scissors as a murder weapon are really incomprehensible.The intention of the murderer is not easy to guess.
As Bai Zhuo said, the reason why the murderer used scissors to commit the crime was probably because he saw the scissors at that time and picked them up casually.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Situ Wen reminded: "Then why don't you go to the scene to see, maybe the source of the murder weapon is near the scene!"
Situ Wen's words reminded Song Wuya, and he nodded immediately: "Wen'er is right, we should go to the scene to see it again."
They did what they said, and the four returned to the inn immediately. After putting away their things, they came to the scene of the crime together.
The scene of the crime was not too far from the gate of the city, and they quickly found that place.Today the dark clouds cleared, the sky above was clear, and almost all the rain on the ground had evaporated.At the place where the bull fell to the ground, only a little blood can be seen at this moment.
"That's where he fell at the time, with his head facing this place." Song Wuya still remembered what he saw when he came here yesterday, and immediately gave a general description of the corpse's location at that time.
Bai Zhuo squatted down and looked at the ground, but did not find any other traces.
"Brother Wuya, you said that he was lying here with his head facing north. So, the bull came from the south, bumped into the murderer head-on, and was killed by the murderer. Does his home lie on the south side? What about in the alley?"
Bai Zhuo made a simple calculation based on the location where the corpse fell to the ground.
This place is not in the middle of the road, but at the mouth of an alley. The bull's head is lying on the ground facing north, and an alley is to the south.According to what Bai Zhuo said, Man Niu might have come out from the alley behind him, and his home should be here, or he has another foothold here.
After Bai Zhuo judged these, Situ Wen also said: "Perhaps, he is going to enter this alley?"
"Huh? If he entered the alley, why would he face north?" After hearing Situ Wen's question, Bai Zhuo immediately asked back.
Since Situ Wen said so, she naturally had his thoughts, she looked at Song Wuya: "Wu Ya, you go to the south."
Song Wuya had already guessed in his heart what Situ Wen was going to do, so he nodded and walked slowly towards the south.
At this moment, Situ Wen came behind Song Wuya and raised her hand to pat him.
Song Wuya turned his head subconsciously, not deliberately.
"Oh! So that's what happened!" After seeing this scene, Bai Zhuo suddenly realized. "Then if this is the case, the murderer must be someone Man Niu is familiar with, otherwise Man Niu would just look back instead of turning around."
After explaining this situation, Song Wuya believed what Situ Wen said even more.
"Combined with the weather at that time, Man Niu might be outside, and suddenly there was a heavy rain, and Man Niu immediately returned home. But at this time, in the torrential rain, someone suddenly stopped him from behind. The voice was his own He was familiar with someone, so he turned around in the rain. But what he didn't expect was that his unsuspecting friend would kill him without saying a word."
"This situation makes sense!" Bai Zhuo and the others nodded at the same time.
However, although this situation can be justified, it is only a guess.In order to verify this statement, one must find out how likely it was that the bull wanted to enter the alley at that time.
"Master Song! Lord Bai!"
Four people were standing at the scene of the crime speculating about the case when they suddenly heard such a shout.
The voice was not unfamiliar, and everyone turned their heads slightly, and saw a team of yamen servants in the direction of the voice.
"Oh! So it's the elder brother of the yamen servant!" Song Wuya watched the head of the yamen servant come over, smiled slightly, and saluted with fists.
Seeing this scene, the head of the yamen servant suddenly became nervous: "Master Song has displeased his subordinates, and his subordinates don't dare to let him call me elder brother. You can just call me Zhu Long. Master Song is at the scene of this crime, what did you find?" ?"
"The scene is empty, without any clues left, it's really hard to find!" Song Wuya shook his head and sighed, but they just guessed it just now, and now it's time to verify it with the chief of the yamen: "That's right. , Zhu Butou. Does this bull have a family? Where does he live?"
"My lord, this bull is alone and lives in the east of the city." The chief yamen servant immediately returned to Song Wuya's question.
"East of the city?" The four exclaimed at the same time.
Seeing the surprised expressions on the four people's faces, Zhu Long suddenly became nervous: "What? Is there something wrong, my lord?"
Originally, Song Wuya and the others guessed that the man's house was likely to be in this alley near the gate of the city, which belonged to the south of the city.But the head of the yamen servant said that the bull's home was in the east of the city, so their speculation just now was somewhat untenable.
"Oh! That's right." Immediately, Song Wuya told Zhu Long about their guess just now. "I looked at the location where the bull's body fell, so I guessed that he probably wanted to enter the alley because of the heavy rain at that time, and was stopped by the murderer from behind. And the person who called him was someone he was familiar with. People, so he turned around, unexpectedly at this time the murderer shot and killed him. Originally we thought that this barbaric cow's home was in this alley."
"I see, but this man's home is indeed not here, and he only has this home in the east." Zhu Long was very sure of this matter.
Song Wuya frowned slightly, pondered in his mind, and then said: "Anyway, the bull died here, no matter how you look at it, it has something to do with this alley, I think we'd better go into this alley to investigate. Bar."
