Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

When they went back to the room to pack their bags, Bai Sanxiu asked about Li Quan's arrangements for today.

Li Quan said: "Go to Luo'an County. Ask them to visit the situation and ask about the case of the couple just now. By the way, has the stain on the wall changed?"

Bai Sanxiu shook her head, "Not sure."

"Then let's go. Come back and see."

This room is on the second floor, relatively less humid, and the location is good. It can be regarded as the "upper room" of the guest house, so Li Quan didn't leave and asked Xiaoer to keep it for them.

After arriving in Luo'an County, because it was already late, the two first found a guest house to live in, and then went to the county office the next day to find the county Wei Chengjiao.

Li Quan first asked Cheng Jiao to send someone to check on the residents who lived or often walked in Dayue Mountain, whether they found any unusual movements in the mountain.Then, he asked about the case of the couple in Yuelai Guest House.

Because this case is indeed a bit bizarre, when Li Guan mentioned it, Cheng Jiao also had an impression.He quickly dug out the file and handed it to Li Quan.

"This is the case of the fifth year of Wenguang. After receiving the report, the subordinate officials also took people to look at it. There were indeed only footprints of Chen Youtian at the scene. He collapsed and died after being trapped in a trap. The so-called black sesame is just a bunch of fungus."

"You judged it as an accident after investigation? Did the fungus grow naturally?"

"The people from the inn came to report the case, and the subordinate officials led people to rush over there. Once again, the fungus fell to the ground for a few days, and there were no other fungus growing on the tree, so it is impossible to judge the state. But the fungus is a fungus. If The distance is relatively far, and it is possible to misread it. Except for the collapse caused by severe pain, blood loss, and hunger and thirst, Chen Youtian has no other signs of struggle. Judging from the situation at the scene, the case can only be closed by accident."

"Where's the bear trap?"

"It's just an ordinary trap. The clip is fixed on the tree with a long chain. It is seriously rusted and can't be opened at all. Later, we also used tools to disassemble it."

"Where's his wife?"

"His wife, Zhou Xiaoniang, at that time, the subordinate officials searched the guest house and several villages and towns around Dayue Mountain, but failed to find her whereabouts. If they searched the mountain, they really didn't have the manpower. To tell the truth, Master Li, the subordinate officials also suspected that it was her. Zhou Xiaoniang killed her husband, but her wanted notice has been posted for a year, and no one in the surrounding counties has seen her, so the possibility of her being alive is very small."

"The inn's testimony said that the couple went out together that morning?"

Cheng Jiao thought about it, and reported: "To be specific, they went out one after another, with a short interval. At that time, there was only one waiter in the lobby on the first floor. To be cautious, the lower official also asked the hostess who was staying at the hotel at that time. Mountain hunters and nearby residents. The tenant heard the sound of opening and closing the door twice, and when a woodcutter came to the guesthouse to deliver firewood, he saw the couple."

While talking, Li Quan had already read the case files, so he didn't bother to think much, so he asked, "Did the woodcutter see the two at the same time, or did he see them one after the other like Xiao Er?"

This question was not completely recorded in the file according to the witness's original words. Cheng Jiao thought for a long time, and said: "One after another. First I saw Zhou Xiaoniang wearing a veiled hat, and then I met Chen Youtian. He also said a few words to Chen Youtian Words. The couple have obvious physical characteristics, so the woodcutter is more impressed."

Li Quan asked again: "Where is Xiaoer, have you communicated with the husband and wife?"

"Didn't say anything. Just Chen Youtian nodded and said hello."

"Have you searched all the guesthouses?"

"Yes. We searched inside and out three times. There was no blood or fresh traces of burial. We did not find any clues."

"I see. Here is a letter, please send someone to the Governor's Mansion, Mr. Cheng."

After coming out of the county, Li Guan looked very calm, and Bai Sanxiu could tell at a glance that this case was not difficult for him, and he already had some calculations in his mind.

Sure enough, Li Quan asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Let's test her again!
