Chapter 301

Yao Zongping rubbed his nose: "This officer is also in a hurry to solve the case, in case the other party kills again..."

Chu Qing shook his head: "My lord, you can rest assured that he is a novice and probably won't kill people in a short time."

"Oh? How did you find out?" Yao Zongping was curious, leaned over, and began to ask for advice, completely forgetting that he had lost his temper by yelling at people earlier.

Chu Qing said: "The incision on the severed head of the corpse is very uneven. Obviously, the opponent has chopped it off many times, so it should be the first time."

As soon as Chu Qing's words came out, Yao Zongping was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked through the autopsy sheet made by the clerk in the yamen a few times. Sure enough, he saw that the record on it was indeed recorded. The cut section of the neck of the corpse was not very smooth. It looked extremely bloody.At that time, no one noticed. It may not be that the other party was cruel, but that the other party was not skillful, which led to many cuts.

After this point, Yao Zongping changed his view of Chu Qing a lot: "You really have some skills."

Chu Qing smiled: "Cooperation is mutually beneficial, as long as the murderer is found in due time, and the adults can fulfill their promises."

Yao Zongping glanced at Chu Qing with a half-smile: "Naturally, I always keep my word. If I tell you, I will definitely tell you."

Chu Qing always felt that Yao Zongping's smile was weird, but the other party had better fulfill his promise.

Therefore, in order to solve this case as soon as possible, Chu Qing spent the next few days in the government office except for going back to the inn to rest. Fortunately, there are many books about plants in the government office, which saves Chu Qing has a lot of things.

But every time he came, Li Tianxiao followed him. After listening to Chu Qing's opinions several times later, Yao Zongping felt that this person was indeed capable, and he would say a few more words when he had time, but every time Every time I talk too much, I will meet the staring gaze of Mr. Xiao. If I don't know it, I will think that I am poaching the other party's corner.

This made Yao Zongping extremely dissatisfied. Fortunately, Chu Qing finally turned to a book and saw a plant on it, her eyes lit up instantly: "I finally know why that grass looks familiar. Come and take a look at this. "

After all, Chu Qing spread out the book on the table, and on the opened scroll, there was a medicinal herb with some data recorded on it, as well as the growth environment of this medicinal herb. Yao Zongping looked over and over for a long time, but didn’t There is nothing special about it: "What's wrong with this herb? It's nothing special. How can this be a clue?"

Chu Qing raised her head and glanced at Yao Zongping. Mr. Lu pulled Yao Zongping, and Yao Zongping gave a low cough: "I don't know... Madam found any useful clues? Can you tell me a little bit?"

Chu Qing glanced at Yao Zongping and Mr. Lu, and felt that the relationship between the two was quite good, but Mr. Lu had saved Yao Zongping's life, so it was nothing.Chu Qing pointed at the data on the scroll, "Look at this."

Yao Zongping poked his head over and took a closer look: "Cold-resistant, sun-loving, mostly grown in arid land, sweet in taste, can be used as medicine, can be cured..." Below is the disease that can be cured, which is an uncommon disease. Symptoms of disease.

Yao Zongping stared at it blankly for a long time, then raised his head, he still didn't understand.However, Mr. Lu who was on the side looked at it, but he saw a little way: "Ma'am, what you mean is that this kind of plant is not common, and it mostly grows in arid land, but our Yuanhe Town is a water town, and it is ten miles outside the city. , is a large area of ​​Yang Lake, which is not suitable for this kind of herb, so this kind of herb must have been imported, right?"

Chu Qing nodded appreciatively: "Mr. Lu's analysis is good. Since this herb is not common, why did it appear here? Mr. Lu can think about it."

Mr. Lu thought about it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's a pharmacy, right? It's not common in other places on weekdays, but pharmacies are available, and maybe you will use it once or twice."

Chu Qing nodded: "Mr. Lu is smart."

Now Yao Zongping has heard the way, and couldn't help but praise: "Ah Huan is really smart."

Mr. Lu couldn't help but patted Yao Zongping: "You should thank Mrs. Xiao. If she hadn't suggested something, how would I have thought of it? Besides, Madam may have thought of these things a long time ago, but she just reminded us."

Although Yao Zongping was a bit unwilling, he still said sincerely: "Thank you this time, if the murderer can be found, I will thank you for the deceased."

No matter how Chu Qing heard it, she thought it was strange, so she waved her hand: "Your Excellency, let's send someone to investigate it quickly. Yuanhe Town is not big, and there are only a few medicine shops. There is also the name of this herb. You can inquire carefully and have a look. Has anyone given this kind of medicinal material recently, maybe we can find out the identity of the deceased."

"Huh? Why can the identity of the deceased be determined, not the murderer?" Yao Zongping was stunned.

Chu Qing explained: "I've seen it before, and the clothes and shoes on the dead man's body obviously don't match. Although the clothes on his body look inconspicuous, they are famous silk, which is expensive, but the shoes are common. Yes, but it belongs to the murderer, and this kind of herb is not common, I'm afraid...the other party is probably trying to get rich and kill him. And because the other party is a foreigner, so if he wants to cut off his head, no one will recognize him, so he can't The investigation has become an unsolved case.”

After Chu Qing's analysis, Yao Zongping felt more and more that it was very likely, his eyes darkened, and he slapped his palm on the table suddenly, his face became darker: "See if I don't catch that kid for questioning." !Lang Lang Qiankun, to do such a vicious thing, is simply a waste of human beings!"

Seeing that Yao Zongping was very angry, Mr. Lu stepped forward and poured a glass of water to him: "Calm down, too. In order to prevent that person from escaping, you need to strengthen your defense."

Li Tianxiao said from the side: "There's no need to defend. I'll let some of my men pass by. They are all good fighters who can fight one against a hundred and act as passers-by. Otherwise, when the government servants pass by, they will inevitably startle the snake."

When Mr. Lu heard "One is against a hundred", he couldn't help but look at Li Tianxiao a few more times. Li Tianxiao looked over and met Lu Huan with his sharp eyes. Yao Zongping, who wanted to argue and refuse, agreed.

Yao Zongping and other things were arranged properly, so he immediately took people to investigate, leaving behind Chu Qing and his party, including Mr. Lu.Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao looked at each other, Chu Qing still felt that Mr. Lu gave off an unusual feeling.

She said: "Sir, are you free for a few days?"

Lu Huan replied: "No, but my lord is irritable, so come and take a look when you have time. This time, thanks to Madam, there hasn't been such a big case in Yuanhe Town for many years."

The folks in Yuanhe Town are simple and honest, there are very few such cruel things, and more of them are trivial matters of the parents, which are easy to solve.So, if it wasn't for this lady, it would be really difficult to solve this time.

Chu Qing said: "Mr. Lu is being polite, but I heard that Mr. Lu was not from here before, how could he think of coming here?"

When Chu Qing said this, his eyes kept falling on Lu Huan, but the other party's eyes didn't have the slightest turmoil. Hearing Chu Qing's words, he sighed: "Ma'am, I came here more than 20 years ago. At that time, my hometown There was a flood, and my wife and children at home got sick and died, so I came to this Yuanhe Town all alone. I wanted to be a teacher and live like this for the rest of my life, and I did my best, but..." He stretched out his hand Touching his face, "Fortunately, it's not a pity. This face is worth the life of an adult."

Chu Qing looked at the sincerity of what he said, but there was nothing unusual about it, and he couldn't help being surprised, could it be that he had guessed wrong?

Chu Qing could only hold back his thoughts for the time being, and only hoped that after these three cases were solved, Yao Zongping would really tell the whereabouts of Warren as he said before.

Yao Zongping rushed out in a hurry until midnight, and immediately picked up the teapot and poured several cups of water as soon as he came in. Fortunately, Lu Huan knew his temperament long ago, and would replace the cold tea every once in a while Yes, so after Yao Zongping finished drinking, he found that it was hot, and immediately showed a big smile to Lu Huan: "Thank you."

Lu Huan smiled: "My brother, you don't have to be polite."

Chu Qing is more interested in the case: "Master Yao, how about it, do you have any clues?"

Yao Zongping slapped the table suddenly, and said excitedly: "You are really sure, the deceased is a foreigner, a medicinal material merchant, this time he transported a lot of rare medicinal materials to several pharmacies, one of them has that Medicinal herbs, as soon as I said it, the storekeeper remembered it, saying that he had left a long time ago, because what he delivered this time were rare medicinal herbs, so he received a lot of money, probably because he was worried about it The officer thought, since I was thinking about it, I must have seen the silver, so it might be someone in the shop, so I asked the shopkeeper to recognize the shoe according to the height you analyzed based on the shoe earlier. I really found it... It's a man named Geng Ding, the fourth eldest in the family, who is delivering goods to the drug store. It is estimated that when he was delivering the goods, he just happened to see this merchant's receipt, and he felt bad, but unfortunately, One step too late, let this old boy run away! Someone has already been sent to arrest him, and he will never run away."

Yao Zongping wiped his face. After several days, he was finally able to sleep peacefully.

Chu Qing nodded: "It's almost done if you have an eyebrow, that's it, then the first case is over?"

When Yao Zongping heard the other party's words, he put down the teapot that Lu Huan added again: "Where, no matter what, it will not be the first one until someone catches it. What's the rush, madam? There are two more. What? But if you hadn't been married, I would have wanted you to be my teacher, so it's more useful than anything else."

Chu Qing glanced at the black line on his forehead, but he also knew that the other party trusted him now, so he held down Li Tianxiao, who had a bad face: "That's fine, we'll wait for the case, we'll go back first, Master Yao has worked so hard for so many days , and rest early too."

Yao Zongping was in high spirits when he saw a happy event, and he waved his hand: "No, I will send someone to tell you if there is any news."
