Phoenix Nine Heavens

Chapter 25

Just when Su Xuan was amazed by her discovery, a large amount of well water flowed out of the deceased's mouth. From this, it can be seen that the deceased should have drowned, but how he drowned is unknown.

"How did you open the manhole cover?" Su Xuan got up and walked to the mouth of the well again, reached out and touched the crack near the mouth of the well, and asked the man.

The noodle shop guy just told the shopkeeper that the well was opened when the guys needed to get water while repairing the house in the backyard, so it was a bit strange that the corpse fell into it.

"Because the manhole cover is heavy, the younger ones used ropes to pass through the hole of the manhole cover, and then lifted them up with wooden sticks." The guy said immediately, and pointed to the used ropes and wooden sticks on the ground on the left.

At this time, Su Xuan looked at the hole on the stone manhole cover, and indeed found traces left by the friction of the rope, which proved that what the man said was true.

So what happened to the crack at the wellhead?This opening is a new one, and the stone powder is all over it. It is absolutely impossible to leave it when the well was built.

The men used ropes to lift and pull the manhole cover, and it was not done by one person. Naturally, this gap has nothing to do with the guys, so this gap is a bit unbelievable.

At this time, Wu Zuo and Qu Tutou from the yamen came to the scene. When they saw Su Xuan and the others, they immediately knew that they were late. Su Xuan and the others had all the first-hand information in their hands.

"Lord Chi, what do you find?" Lord Wu Zuo came up to Su Xuan at this time and asked Su Xuan.He knew very well that Su Xuan's ability to examine corpses was much better than his own, so it would be more practical to ask Su Xuan directly instead of trying to make a fuss in front of Su Xuan.

"The deceased should be a wealthy daughter, around fifteen or sixteen years old. Because she was soaked in the water for a certain period of time, the time of death cannot be accurately judged. The preliminary judgment is about three days!" Su Xuan immediately said to Mrs. Wu Zuo, "There is water oozing out from the abdomen, it should be drowning. The deceased has all the valuable jewelry with him, and the suspicion of murder for money is ruled out!"

"In this way, this woman should have slipped and fell into the water and drowned?" Master Wu Zuo continued to ask.

"It's hard to say now. The man said that before the water was fetched, the well was sealed. As soon as he opened it, he saw the deceased, and there was a baby in the belly of the deceased who was more than three months old. You can check any nearby officials or officials' homes. Missing, and the situation is similar to this!" Su Xuan wiped her hands, and said to Master Wu Zuo and Qu Tutou.

"Master Chi, don't worry, I will definitely find out about the missing lady in Yuzhou City!" Catcher Qu said immediately, it seemed that he had no meaning for Su Xuan's ability to handle the case, and he also tacitly handed over the case to Su Xuan up.

After all, their fisherman is not the material to do this. The case is in the hands of the fisherman, and it is simply a tool to make money. It has no other purpose, let alone this kind of unsolved case.

Therefore, Catcher Qu did not hesitate, and immediately said such a sentence to Su Xuan.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any impression of the deceased?" Su Xuan immediately asked the shopkeeper of the noodle shop.

You must know that the person died in the backyard of the noodle shop, and it seemed unreasonable to say that he had nothing to do with the noodle shop owner, so she felt that the noodle shop owner might be familiar with the deceased.

"Although the business of the small shop is not bad, there are not a few customers coming and going, but the little old man has been in the noodle shop for many years, and he will have some impressions of the customers who have been to the store, but the person in front of him is hard to recognize, please forgive the little old man Unrecognizable!" The shopkeeper immediately said to Su Xuan.

"Don't you have any impression of this kind of hairpin and bracelet?" Su Xuan continued to ask, you must know that everyone is a lady, the jewelry they wear is all custom-made, the style and production are top-grade, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only one. Wearing these things and appearing in front of people should be used as a basis for judgment.

"The little old man has never seen it before. Besides, when it comes to welcoming customers, the little old man only pays attention to the faces of the customers, and usually doesn't notice what kind of accessories the people are wearing!" The shopkeeper immediately said to Su Xuan.

"Anyone of you who has seen these two things can tell!" Su Xuan said to everyone present at this time, wanting to see if anyone still has some clues.

When Su Xuan asked, a waiter showed fear and said tremblingly: "It must be a ghost who is taking his life. She is here, she must be here!"

"Shut up!" Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately reprimanded the guy, as if the guy had said something that shouldn't be said, wishing to immediately block the guy's mouth with tape.

"What's going on?" Seeing this situation, Su Xuan immediately questioned the shopkeeper. She doesn't allow anyone to play tricks in front of her, so she directly asked the shopkeeper what happened to the shopkeeper.

"Five years ago, the little old man sold this shop to open a noodle restaurant. Because the price was cheap, the little old man thought we were cheap, but I didn't want to hear that the backyard was haunted after the sale of the shop. He said that he died before. There was a woman who often heard crying in the middle of the night.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. For a while, the ghosts in the backyard became known to everyone, and there were even rumors that the ghosts took their lives, making the backyard a forbidden place, and strangers should not come near it.

And the little old man is a foreigner who came to do business, so the previous shopkeeper was willing to sell it to me at a low price. However, the little old man has never heard of ghosts crying at night, so he naturally thinks that it is a rumor, which is different from the reality, and gradually forgets about it.

Later, when the noodle shop opened, the business was booming, and the guys invited more and more people. Naturally, no one remembered the legend of the backyard when they got busy.

But when this incident happened today, it's not surprising that some people thought of the rumors about the ghost's death! "The little old man explained this to Su Xuan at this time.

"If that's the case, why didn't you let the guy finish his sentence just now, instead of stopping him from continuing?" Su Xuan continued to ask, obviously she was suspicious of the shopkeeper.

"The little old man is in business. The death in the backyard has already affected the business. After that, no one dares to come to eat noodles. If it is related to the legend of the ghost taking his life, the little old man's business Do you still want to do it?" The shopkeeper immediately explained to Su Xuan.

"The dead people in the backyard were talking about this well?" Su Xuan thought of the legend when she heard this, so she asked the shopkeeper.

"This little old man doesn't know. Besides, it's just a legend, so there's no need to take it seriously!" The shopkeeper thought that the legend was just a joke, so he didn't take it seriously, and just said such a sentence to Su Xuan.

"Captain Fang, please go down the well to check the situation!" Su Xuan immediately said to Captain Fang, no matter whether the rumor is true or not, she feels the need to check it out, after all, it is a matter of human life, Don't be careless.

"Yes!" Captain Fang responded immediately, and followed Su Xuan's instructions to enter the well again to check the situation inside.

"My lord, this is..." Seeing Su Xuan's serious attitude, the shopkeeper really didn't know what to say. You must know that these are nonsense in his opinion, and they are not worth taking seriously at all, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Scold Su Xuan for making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Master Chi, there is no need for this, right? The rumors are really unbelievable!" At this time, Catcher Qu also persuaded, as if he felt that Su Xuan's mind was broken in solving the case, thinking that there were corpses everywhere, all at the scene of the crime.

Of course it was you who didn't dare to say what was in his heart, but just showed a kind reminder and persuaded Su Xuan.

But at this moment, Captain Fang, who went down to investigate, quickly reported the situation in the well to Butou Lu, and Butou Lu came to Su Xuan in a hurry, and said to Su Xuan very seriously: "My lord, the situation in the well is very serious." I really found out..."
