Chapter 203

Chen Luo naturally had his own reasons for asking this question.

Now all these thieves have become dead souls, but even if one or two people are captured alive, according to the performance of the dead men described by Qu Xianwei, it is estimated that they will not be honest.

He must look for clues from other angles and deduce the origin of this group of people.

Then my three personal guards are one of the few people who have had direct contact with these thieves and survived, so they are very important.

Asking the three of them about the accents of the thieves was to confirm an important detail.

After all, the local accent is hard to change. Even with the popularization of Putonghua, most young people may think that their pronunciation is standard when they speak, but in fact they have the accent of their hometown.

This is the trace left by our growth, hidden in our bones, fused in our blood, even after countless years, it will never be erased.

A guard recalled: "After I was captured, they beat me unconscious for a while, but I could vaguely hear those people speaking, all with a strong Wei accent."

The other two scratched their heads, agreed with him, and said that seemed to be the case.

Hearing this, Chen Luo frowned slightly.

This completely overturned his original idea.

A large number of Wei people really participated in this matter, and the evidence points to Wei Wang Jiyu.

As for the doubts that appeared before, he could also explain it as the negligence of the parties involved, or that these thieves never thought that they would fail in the robbery.

While thinking, Qu Xianwei next to him said: "Mr. Chen, can you allow me to speak?"

"Please speak." Chen Luo replied casually, still caught in two contradictory logics, feeling deeply entangled.

"If those thieves all have a Wei accent, then what about the thief who pretended to be a herb picker? Could it be that you will follow the herb picker with a Wei accent into the deep mountains in Chu? Among them?" Qu Xianwei asked in a deep voice.

The three guards suddenly realized, and quickly changed their words and said: "This is something we have neglected. When the herb picker spoke, he spoke authentic Chu language. Even the Chu people among us are not as pure as him."

From the beginning, they didn't think that the herb picker was a thief, that's why.

Even until now, they still subconsciously ignore his existence, thinking that those who speak Wei language are more like thieves.

At this time, Chen Luo bowed his hands to the Quxian Wei, and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I almost went into a misunderstanding. You are really a genius who knows everything. Now I want to ask your name!"

I was in the middle of the game, and I learned too much messy news, so I lost my keen insight into the details.

For example, the news of Wei Wangyu's rebellion was only received by him here, so when the guards said that those thieves had a Wei accent, Chen Luo kept thinking about how they were linked together, flawlessly. Taking into account any mistakes and omissions in the personal guard's narration.

On the contrary, Qu Xianwei, who only knew about the ambushes in front of him, jumped out of the situation and looked at them from the perspective of a bystander, so he pointed out the contradictions in the details.

Qu Xianwei hurriedly returned the salute and said: "I only rely on my usual experience in solving cases, and said some strange things, and I am honored by Yang Xiahou's praise, I am really ashamed.

Beneath Qu Chongyin, I pay my respects to Mr. Chen. "

After thinking about it, Chen Luo asked directly: "Lieutenant Qu, I wonder if you are married?"

Qu Chongyin: "???"

Even if he was as keen as him, he still couldn't figure out what was the meaning behind those words.

After a moment of silence, Qu Chongyin replied: "I have married a wife and have no children yet."

Chen Luo looked a little disappointed, but then said: "Then I dare to ask if you are willing to stay by my side and assist me in handling this case.

When the dust settles, if you want to come back with a generous reward, or stay in Chang'an, then I will follow your wishes.

As for your wife, you can go to Chang'an together, I have a spare house for you to live in. "

You must know that with a few words, you can find loopholes from it. Such a keen judgment ability is very rare, not much different from those scientifically trained detectives in later generations.

In this era, he is even a rare figure. I am afraid that talent alone is not enough, and he has to practice for a long time at the grassroots level before he has the ability he has today.

Now that he was faced with a complicated case and there were suitable talents around him, Chen Luo was naturally unwilling to let him go.

Qu Chongyin was a little moved, but he didn't agree, he just said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your consideration, but leaving your hometown is a big matter, and you need to discuss it with your wife, so I can't agree to your invitation immediately."

"It's okay." Chen Luo waved his hand, "My promise is valid for a long time, even after the case is over, if you want to come to Chang'an to find me, even if I'm eating, I will spit out the food in my mouth and come to welcome you. "

Speaking of this, although Qu Zhongyin hesitated verbally, the bias in his heart was already obvious.

He raised his head and said solemnly: "Even if you don't go to Chang'an with Mr. Chen, I will still try my best to investigate the real culprit of this incident for you."

"Okay." Chen Luo showed a kind smile, as if he had never been attacked, and he continued, "This is not a place to talk about things, not to mention that night is coming. After we go down the mountain, we should rush to meet the county magistrate as soon as possible. .”

"Wei." The people around responded and took away some of the collected evidence. As for the corpses of those thieves, they threw them in the wilderness to be fed to the wolves.

It was not easy to walk at night, and it took nearly an hour before they met the county magistrate's team on the road. Chen Luo's personal guards went to hunt more than 20 rabbits and caught five or six herrings. I picked some wild vegetables, started a fire to barbecue there, and cooked a big pot of soup.

As for the corpses on the road, they had already been cleaned up. Those of the thieves were thrown away in the wilderness far away, while Chen Luo's personal guards were restrained so that they could be put away.

Back in the familiar group, Chen Luo felt that what happened to him during the day was like a dream.

It's just the pain of the wound on his body and the familiar faces that have been greatly reduced in the team, reminding that hatred should not be forgotten.

After sitting down for a while, a guard handed over a skewer of barbecued meat.After killing the enemy on horseback and climbing half a mountain, Chen Luo, who was already quite hungry, ate food. Anyway, he was not a nobleman in the traditional sense, so there was no need to pay attention to those complicated dining etiquette.

Liu Le at the side glanced at Chen Luo, hesitated for a moment, and gave up the imitation. In order to take care of his own image, he still took small bites.

"Yang Xiahou, may I tell you the method you said during the day, can you tell me now?" The county magistrate walked over cautiously with a smile on his face.
