Chapter 397 Abnormal blood volume
Before Magistrate Liu could say anything, Zhang Qianyun and Li Hong ran in.

As soon as they stepped through the threshold, Zhang Qianyun and Li Hong's footsteps froze at the door.

Seeing them brake suddenly, Magistrate Liu hesitated, "Master Li, how's it going?"

Li Hong and Zhang Qianyun didn't have time to speak.

Then he heard Song Shiyun's voice coming from behind.

"Everyone is dead."

This is a declarative sentence.

Li Hong and Zhang Qianyun understood that Song Shiyun should have noticed the death energy here.

The two people turned their heads and looked at Magistrate Liu, Song Shiyun and others.

When Magistrate Liu heard Song Shiyun's words, he was stunned: "How could that happen?!"

When Li Hong heard this, he said with a serious face: "He is really dead."

Magistrate Liu was stunned, lifted up the hem of his robe, walked in quickly, stood at the door, and looked inside.

Magistrate Liu's expression changed.

The courtyard inside the door was full of blood.

The blood stains extended from the threshold to the house inside, spanning the entire yard and submerging into the house.

In addition, there is a person leaning against the wall next to the door.

The man's face was covered in blood and he was holding a knife in his hand.

The knife was covered with dried blood.

Seeing this scene, Magistrate Liu slipped and almost fainted.

Others in the government office also saw this scene and felt as if something was rumbling in their stomachs.

At this time, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu pushed aside the crowd and walked in.

Li Hong and Zhang Qianyun were already checking the situation in the yard.

Even though he already knew the result, Li Hong still took a chance and checked the breathing of the man leaning against the wall.

But that man's whole body was already cold and he had no breath.

The blood on and under his body had long since dried up.

The blood stains also changed from bright red at the beginning to the color of pig liver.

Judging from the color and coagulation state of the blood, this family member must have been dead for more than a day or two.

"His death should have been more than three days." Li Hong stood up and said solemnly.

When Magistrate Liu heard this, his forehead horns jumped sharply.

He forced himself to calm down, stared at the corpse, and said in a voiceless voice: "...He, he is Cao Yuanhan!"

Li Hong frowned slightly, "Is he Cao Yuanhan?"

Magistrate Liu nodded quickly: "Exactly! I, I saw him four days ago!"

Song Shiyun was surprised: "Did you see him four days ago?"

Magistrate Liu explained: "Yes, the government has been investigating the case of Wu's disappearance. From time to time, I will ask Cao Yuanhan about the situation to see if he has got any clues related to Wu."

Almost, four days ago.

Magistrate Liu found Cao Yuanhan again and asked Cao Yuanhan if he had gotten any clues about the Wu family.

Even though he knew the chances were slim, Magistrate Liu still tried his best to think in the best direction.

He thought, what if Wu just encountered some pressure at home and went out to hide for a few days?
If so, if she calms down or relaxes, she might come back.

Cao Yuanhan's family happened to be looking for Mrs. Wu.

If there are any clues, the government office and the Cao family can share them.

Therefore, he would come to Cao Yuanhan from time to time to ask about the current situation.

Four days ago, when he met Cao Yuanhan, although Cao Yuanhan was a little haggard, he was very tenacious and persisted in searching for the whereabouts of Wu and the child.

He also promised Magistrate Liu that once he got clues about the Wu family, he would notify the Yamen as soon as possible.

Magistrate Liu gave him a few more instructions, asking his family to be careful and not to go out carelessly in the near future.

Wu's disappearance may really be related to evil spirits.

If Cao Yuanhan was running around alone, he might encounter something unexpected.

After Cao Yuanhan agreed, Magistrate Liu left.

Before leaving, he said casually that he would come back in two days.

But later on, Lady Fish's condition went from bad to worse.

He has not come to look for Cao Yuanhan in the past few days.

Unexpectedly, that face turned out to be the last face to face between him and Cao Yuanhan.

When Song Shiyun heard this, he pursed his lips and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Cao Yuanhan at that time?"

Magistrate Liu shook his head quickly and said anxiously: "No, his wife and children are missing. He is a little haggard, but his energy is still good, and he was very calm during the conversation. I didn't see anything wrong!"

Magistrate Liu looked at Cao Yuanhan's body, turned his head away unbearably, closed his eyes, and said: "However, his state that day has nothing to do with today's incident, right?" "I think, Cao Yuanhan was harmed!"

Magistrate Liu subconsciously felt that Cao Yuanhan must have been targeted by evil spirits.

He immediately regretted it.

That day, he shouldn't just remind Cao Yuanhan.

Instead, just take Cao Yuanhan and his family directly to the government office.

When Xie Rugu heard this, his eyes fell on Cao Yuanhan and said calmly: "I'm afraid that his death was suicide."

Magistrate Liu was stunned, "Suicide?"

Li Hong also spoke at this time, "Yes, judging from the location of the wound, the way he held the knife, and the lack of signs of struggle on his body, it seems that he stabbed himself."

Magistrate Liu's eyes widened, "How is this possible?"

Bai Qianli also changed his usual careless attitude and said: "This is the fact, so I asked you if there was anything wrong with Cao Yuanhan that day."

Magistrate Liu said bluntly: "No, absolutely not! He had absolutely no tendency to commit suicide that day!"

That day, Cao Yuanhan asked him again and again to find his wife and children.

He also said that no matter what, he would wait for his wife and children to come back.

If the government office helps him find his wife and children, he will go through thick and thin for Magistrate Liu.

Judging from his condition at the time, he was definitely not a suicidal person.

"It's not suicide...this wound is a bit unjustifiable." Bai Qianli stared at the wounds on Cao Yuanhan's body and touched his chin.

Song Shiyun paused for a second, then looked around and asked, "Just now, Mr. Liu said, Cao Yuanhan still has a family at home?"

Magistrate Liu nodded, "Yes, his parents, his two brothers, and his eldest son and second daughter..."

Cao Yuan's Han family had a large population.

Separation of households is not popular at the moment.

Therefore, Cao Yuanhan and his two younger brothers lived together.

The two younger brothers started their own families again.

Magistrate Liu knew about Cao Yuanhan's family situation.

His second brother also has two children after getting married. His third brother just got married last year, but his wife is also pregnant.

Plus, Cao Yuanhan's own children.

The Cao family can be said to be a big family living together.

The missing ones are Cao Yuanhan's wife and young son.

"What about Cao Yuanhan's other family members?" Li Hong reacted quickly, "Why haven't you seen anyone else?"

Xie Rugu spoke in a low tone and stared at the blood on the ground, "Look at the amount of blood on the ground."

Magistrate Liu looked over blankly.

Zhang Qianyun, however, had already reacted, "This amount of blood is definitely not the amount of blood lost by one person. I'm afraid it must be the amount of three or four people."

A person, even if all the blood in his body is drained, will not bleed this much.

What's more, Cao Yuanhan is not in a state of being drained of blood now.

Hearing this, Magistrate Liu's expression changed.

At this time, Li Hong and Bai Qianli had already run towards the main house of Cao Yuanhan's house.

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu looked at each other and followed suit.

Magistrate Liu held up his hem and chased after him with his men.

Li Hong and Bai Qianli entered the main room first.

In the main room, Li Hong and Bai Qianli saw the bodies of an old couple.

The two people fell to the ground in the main room, their breath long gone.

Seeing this, Li Hong and Bai Qianli quickly checked the rooms on both sides.

However, except for the bodies of the old couple, there was no trace of anyone else in the family.

Whether it's Cao Yuanhan's own children or his two brothers.

Others just disappeared out of thin air.

"No one was found." Li Hong and Bai Qianli searched around and stood in front of Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu and others with serious expressions.

Bai Qianli changed his usual carefree attitude and looked solemn, "This is the only old couple, they should be Cao Yuanhan's parents, right?"

Magistrate Liu stared straight at the corpse on the ground, took a deep breath, and said: "Yes, I know them, they are Cao Yuanhan's parents..."

When Cao Yuanhan applied for official service, he took his parents with him.

Later, Magistrate Liu had several contacts with the Cao family and met Cao Yuanhan's parents.

He could still recognize the old couple.
