Chapter 28 The Truth
A coincidence can be regarded as a coincidence, but consecutive coincidences are considered coincidences, only fools.

Xia Jingyun sat on the horseback on the return journey, with four words written all over his face: he was worried.

Feng Xiuyun looked at his profile. Although Xia Jingyun didn't say anything, she, who had quite a lot of experience in Gongdou, guessed the possible conspiracy story behind it from the few words in the question just now, so she said softly, "Do you still need my help?"

Xia Jingyun was awakened by this gentle voice, looked at the concerned female official in the palace, inexplicably remembered her superior posture a few days ago, and suddenly felt a lot easier.

In just a few days, I have already made such great progress, so why worry so much!

Isn't it just a conspiracy, come on, come on, Lao Tzu's soldiers will stop it!

Living is never easy.

"I'm asking you something!" Seeing Xia Jingyun staring at her in a daze, Feng Xiuyun's heart fluttered slightly, and she urged her.

Xia Jingyun came back to his senses, "My lord, please take me to the county government office."
-
"Master Feng, Mr. Xia, we already know about this supervisor Niu Er. Just now, Butou Wu has brought people to investigate. This Niu Er was also unlucky to meet a bandit who happened to be patrolling outside the city on the way back, and lost his life."

In the county yamen, the master led the arrester and reported the situation to the two, mainly to Feng Xiuyun.

Naturally, Xia Jingyun didn't believe it was a coincidence that the bandit was there. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you still have the silver tael and saber on his body?"

Wu Butou is a burly, tall, middle-aged man. Although he bowed under the weight of power, he still looks down on this kind of powerful man who knows nothing about criminal names from the bottom of his heart. "The other party is a bandit, how could he let these things go."

Xia Jingyun was a little embarrassed, isn't it written like this in other books, pretending to be a bandit to kill someone, and then forgetting to take away the silver, and being cracked by the protagonist witty, why didn't it work when he came to me!
So he turned to look at Feng Xiuyun, "Can I go and see the corpse?"

Wu Butou felt a little disrespected, I was the Butou, shouldn't you ask me?
Feng Xiuyun glanced at him, and after confirming that he was serious, nodded in agreement, and then the master secretary ordered: "Wu Butou, take Mr. Xia to have a look."

Headhunter Wu:
After Xia Jingyun followed Wu Butou and left, Feng Xiuyun, who stayed in the hall waiting with tea, looked stern and arrogant, and looked at the accompanying chief bookkeeper, "Do you think this supervisor was really killed by bandits?"

The master hesitated for a moment, and then said with discretion: "He died outside the city, it was evening again, there was no one around, no clues, nowhere to attack, he was either a bandit or a bandit."

Feng Xiuyun took a deep look at him, "So, he is going to return without success?"

The chief bookkeeper bowed his body and didn't answer the words, but the meaning was self-evident.

When leading Xia Jingyun to the morgue, Wu Butou couldn't help but said, "Young Master Xia, do you still know how to make a fuss?"

Xia Jingyun shook his head, and gave a random reason, "After all, he has an old relationship with me, so I just came to see him off."

Butou Wu could also hear that Xia Jingyun was talking nonsense, he had a fart, and he didn't know how the labor camp supervisors treated the laborers, but he couldn't say anything more after the other party said so.

Just look at it, he can't see any clues, and it is impossible for this kind of person who knows nothing about criminal names to find any clues.

He has seen many self-righteous people like this.

As they were walking, a woman came out of the morgue, escorted by two police officers, weeping.

Xia Jingyun asked, "This is?"

Wu Butou said: "It is Niu Er's widow who came to identify the corpse and discuss the matter of picking up the corpse for funeral."

Oh, I almost didn't recognize it when I was dressed.

Xia Jingyun recalled the scene he had seen before, twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, followed Wu Butou, and walked into the morgue.

I don't know if it was a deliberate choice of location, or there is some metaphysics, but once I entered, I felt a burst of chill.

Because the concubine De concubine is coming back, the county has stepped up security management, and some vicious people have been found to be sent to labor camps as consumables. There have been no murders recently, and there is only one corpse in the morgue.

Wu Butou walked to the corpse, and suddenly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and then looked narrowly at Xia Jingyun, hoping to see some panic and fear from him, which is also the bad taste that people like them sometimes have when they take revenge on their superiors.

But he was disappointed. Xia Jingyun's expression was extremely calm, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Having been on the project site for many years, let alone this, Xia Jingyun has seen many more tragic deaths than this, and he has already developed an extremely strong psychological quality.

He looked carefully, the iconic beard on Niu Er's face was still there, and there were many scars on his body. He couldn't tell whether it was a knife wound or a sword wound. Anyway, it looked bloody, which fit the situation of being outnumbered and hacked to death.

Xia Jingyun counted the time silently. Last night, it happened to be the eighth day since the last time he spy on his life. It really is God's own arrangement!
So who killed him?Is it the one who asked him earlier?

If so, the other party asked him about himself, and then killed him first after he took Wen Kui. What is the plan?Afraid of being exposed?
Did he reveal his "fortune-telling" ability to the other party?
Xia Jingyun only felt that the fog was covering him one after another, and he had doubts one after another, but since he only found this point right now, he could only bite the bullet and try to dig down.

Wu Butou folded his arms and looked at it, joking in his heart. An experienced Butou like him looked around for a long time but couldn't see why.

"Captain Wu, put it on." Xia Jingyun stared at it for a while, sighed, and said.

"Master Xia, have you seen anything?"

Xia Jingyun pretended not to see the teasing in Wu Butou's eyes, and shook his head, "No."

"It's okay, you are Wen Kui. It's normal to be unfamiliar with the matter of criminal names. It's like a mountain apart. How can you be good at everything! Right?"

Xia Jingyun's heart suddenly moved, "Where's the one from Niu Er's family just now?"

Wu Butou was shaken by this sharp bend, "It should have left."

"Can I trouble Butou Wu to invite her back for me?"

A moment later, in a side room, Xia Jingyun and Niu Er's widow, Niu Wang, sat opposite each other across a table.

Xia Jingyun looked at the woman in front of him. She was fair and beautiful, and her eyes were charming and charming. She indeed had some capital to make people commit crimes.

Combined with Niu Er's family background and the scene he saw earlier, Xia Jingyun couldn't help but think of words like "master's task".

"Mrs. Niu, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and my condolences will change."

The woman on the opposite side was just crying softly, intermittently saying thank you, sir, and asking you to avenge your husband.

"Mrs. Niu, the Yamen will try its best to fulfill your appeal. Now I have a few questions I want to ask you."

The woman hummed, sobbed softly, her shoulders shook slightly, "Sir, please tell me."

Xia Jingyun said: "You first stretch out your hand."

The woman raised her head instantly, her face flushed, "My lord."

"Don't think too much, I have a secret method that can test the truth and detect lies. I won't offend you, you just need to stretch out your hand like a doctor feeling the pulse."

Xia Jingyun looked serious, "Besides, do you think I lack a woman?"

Only then did the woman look up seriously, then she stretched out her hand decisively and pulled up her sleeves to reveal her white lotus arms, Xia Jingyun hurriedly called to stop.

Captain Wu and several other policemen stood in the corner of the room, and one policeman said in a very low voice, dissatisfied: "Boss, is there such a case?"

Wu Butou also frowned, and took a deep breath.

Damn, this kid looks like a human being, but
I can't even do such a thing!Even go whoring!Spend some money!nausea!
The policemen on the side were also filled with righteous indignation, looking at Xia Jingyun with red eyes.

The corpse in the next room has not yet cooled completely, and the widow's hand is touched here. This scene is really stimulating the justice in people's hearts.

Xia Jingyun stretched out his finger and put it on the woman's wrist, pretending to be a case judge, "Now, you need to look into my eyes."

"Hmm." The woman hummed delicately, her tears turned into mist, making her already seductive eyes look like a swamp.

Xia Jingyun cursed to himself that he really wasn't a good person, so he calmed down and asked some questions.

At first, the woman was worried that the other party would ask about the scandal between her and her lover, and she was afraid that she would be exposed to the other party's secret method, but after asking a few words, she felt relieved, the other party seemed to be just a person who didn't understand anything.

For such a question, the police officers on the side were more and more filled with righteous indignation, especially when they saw that the woman was enjoying it quite a bit, which instantly brought them into the mind of the sufferer, and their eyes spit fire.

Xia Jingyun's heart was calm, and he searched and organized his words, trying to make himself appear more serious, and waited for the time to run out.

Just as he was about to finish asking the torture lines in his mind, his eyes suddenly blurred, and a picture appeared that lived up to expectations.

Niu Wang stood in the room and was about to take off her filial piety when a black figure jumped into the room and hugged her. She was about to scream when the other party smiled and said in a low voice: "It's me."

It turned out to be the adulterer who was beaten miserably last time. He put his arms around Niu Wang, raised and lowered his hands, and said: "My dear, I didn't lie to you. I have already dealt with this reckless man. You should keep your filial piety first. When the filial piety period is over, I will accept you as an apprentice. Then we will live a bright and honest life."

Niu Wang was soft in his arms like a puddle of water, and said in a tired voice: "From now on, I will let you dispose of me."

"I'll deal with you well tonight!"

When the picture was interrupted, Xia Jingyun looked at the sad woman in front of him, and felt a burst of disgust in his heart.

"Let go of her!"

A policeman finally couldn't bear it, roared angrily, and rushed towards him!
