So I play chess

Chapter 185
Several patrolmen carried out some actions in an orderly manner. After inspecting four or five corpses, because there were too many corpses left and some definite conclusions had been obtained, they stopped for the time being. Give this Mr. Tang a reply.

The general meaning is that these corpses suffered all stab wounds, and they were all killed by one blow, and the strikes were straightforward.Since there are no traces of moving and discarding near the corpse, it is probably concluded that this is where the murder occurred.

In addition, there were not many traces of running and struggling nearby, so the perpetrator must not have killed one before killing another, and there must have been more than one or a few people.

In addition, although these people did not have obvious characteristics, and did not leave evidence such as guides, but judging from the skin alone, they were completely different from the refugees who came all the way, and they should be the people nearby.

Needless to say the latter, the people present already had a clear judgment in their hearts, and these people could almost conclude that they were the servants of the Sun family who were robbed by bandits.It's just that Luo Zuo reported it in detail for the purpose of prudence.

Although the group of them did not exceed the time agreed by the bandits, they arrived a bit late. Although those bandits stole property and killed people to silence them, although they were cruel, it was not unexpected.

Only Tang Mingyi was a little puzzled.

He concluded that it was his elder brother's actions this time, but now that he has played such a game, although he still doesn't know the real purpose, he will not change his mind temporarily for no reason.

Even if he had to leave this place due to some urgent change, it wouldn't take a lot of trouble to kill them.

After all, there is a mission ahead of them, and it is of no benefit to them to disturb the Tongcheng government now.

Unless these people have any reason to die.

Out of the clear request of the inspection department, the patrolmen did some more investigation and sorting of the corpses, but everyone had nothing else to do, let alone dared to do anything more, so they had to wait here for the follow-up troops to arrive.

After about another moment, the second team also found this place following the smell of blood.Afterwards, the crowd gathered one after another, and dozens of torches illuminated the surroundings. Finally, they intuitively felt what it meant to be shocking.

The more than 500 people who came from Tongcheng each had some encounters and discoveries on the road, and they made some actions and decisions similar to Tang Mingyi's keeping people near Lingguangjun Temple, and sending people to continue counting trees.

In the end, there were only more than 400 people who actually gathered here.

The three principals are all here, and relying on the large number of people, the scene in front of them still makes people shudder.

The trees here are neither lush nor dense, and they are roughly put together in the shape of many "pins". It seems that someone has deliberately cut down and cultivated them many years ago, but the purpose is not clear.

The place where Tang Mingyi and the others are located happens to be one of the "mouths" on the southernmost side of these many characters.

The commander of the Tongcheng army ordered to surround the place, and Jin Wan spread out the pawns, and Tang Mingyi's entourage simply guarded the three most important people in place.

In less than half an hour, the whole picture of this place has been explored clearly.

The corpses that Tang Mingyi and the others saw before were just the tip of the iceberg.

The entire area stretched for more than three miles, and there were exactly 130 dead bodies, which was exactly the same as the number of people who were robbed in the Sun Mansion.

There are more than ten pieces in each "pin" character, all of which are slightly away from the trees.

And these people, without exception, had no extra belongings on their bodies, not even dry food, only close-fitting obscene clothes, and there were traces of hemp rope binding on their wrists, and some of them had cloth stuffed in their mouths.

At the same time, some discarded hemp ropes were also found near the trees in this area. It can be inferred that these people were originally tied to the trees, and then brought out together to kill them.

Some of the soldiers who caught up with them later and the soldiers of the Tongcheng Army had dealt with the servants of the Sun Mansion, and they clearly identified more than a dozen of them, thus finally confirming the identity of the deceased.

There were even Luo Zuo who recognized two people who were carrying blood debts on their bodies, originally belonged to Yang Wantang's mansion, went out to work in the city before the accident in Yang's mansion, and disappeared after that.

In addition, there were messy footprints all over the ground, and it was impossible to identify how many people these footprints belonged to, but what Jin Wan noticed was that there was no obvious difference in depth of these footprints.

"The road in this forest is difficult to walk. Whether it is a horse-drawn cart or a cart, I am afraid it is not so easy to get in. It can only be carried by manpower. The man surnamed Sun is dishonest. The amount of money is vague, but it must be a lot, but There are no traces of frame or manual handling here, which is very abnormal.”

Jin Wan's complexion is not good. Since she took office in Tongcheng, she has learned some stories about Mr. Sun from the "Survival Tips for Being an Official in Tongcheng" circulated among Tongcheng officials. It really doesn't matter to this person. Favorable, and even planning to cut off his money.

But the scene in front of her was too shocking and too cruel. Regardless of her previous status as a county lieutenant or her current status as an inspector, no one under her rule should be allowed to do such a thing.

"Find some clearer footprints and follow them to see where these people are going." Jin Wan ordered, and five or six patrolmen immediately came out to follow the order.

"There are few people on my side. Please lead some people and rush back to the city as soon as possible. One is to report the matter here with the prefect. Whether it is the cutting edge or the style of acting, it looks like a bandit but not completely. Yes, I am worried that there are some other people hiding nearby, so I ask him to be on guard. Second, please take my token to the inspection department and send some people over so that we can do an inspection with us. At the same time, we also need to These corpses were transported back to the city."

Jin Wan spoke carefully and neatly, the commander knew the importance, and immediately set off twenty legs and briskly went back to Tongcheng.

Afterwards, the female inspector stopped sitting next to Tang Mingyi, stood up, and went to direct the patrolmen in person.

The pawns who had been acting independently quickly followed Jin Wan's instructions, either climbing up the tree, or forming a team to go outside the circle of dead people for further investigation.

At this time, several people who had stayed on the road and continued to count the trees rushed back, and there were several people in each of the three places. They all looked shocked when they saw the situation, but they did not delay and made a report at the same time .

"My lord, the place has been found. About eight or nine miles north of here, there are many carriages and carts with lost horses left in place, and nothing else."
