Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

   Chapter 641 641. Two murder weapons (15)

  Everyone looked at the plaque on the mansion, "Zhou Mansion".

  Ren Buqing gave a soldier a look, and the soldier stepped forward and called the door, "Is anyone there?"

  An old man opened the door. Seeing the huge battle at the door, he was startled. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Sir, why did you come to the door?"

  The soldier next to him opened the box, "Look, is this from your family?"

  When the old man saw the head, his head buzzed, he took a step back in fear, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this is my master Zhou Youyuan, he, he, he..."

  Ren Buqing asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's your master?"

  The old man was mentally prepared, took another look carefully, and said with certainty, "Yes, there is a scar on my master's right eyebrow. I remember it very clearly, and it is impossible to admit it."

  He choked up slightly, "Why did the master die so badly?"

  Chu Qingzhi signaled to Chu Xujin, Chu Xujin nodded, stepped forward and asked, "Old man, I want to know why your master died so badly, and I need you to cooperate with us in investigating the truth, understand?"

"understand."

   "When was the last time you saw your master?"

  The old man thought for a while, "I remember it was four o'clock in the afternoon yesterday (six o'clock in the afternoon). The master said that a guest invited him to drink. By the way, the one who went to Man Ting Fang was very close, just two streets away."

   "Who is the guest?"

   "I don't know, the master's affairs are beyond my control as an old man who is a janitor."

   "Where's your wife? Your master went out to drink all night and didn't come home all morning, so she won't let anyone look for her?"

  The old man waved his hand, "Master often stays away from home for two or three days, Madam couldn't take care of it, and then she didn't."

   "Go and call your wife out."

"yes."

  Ren Buqing said, "Xu Jin, you stay here for questioning, and ask as many clues as you can. I'll investigate the guests who had a drink with Zhou Youyuan."

   "Yes, my lord."

Zhou Youyuan, forty-five years old, was originally a miner. He made a fortune a year ago and turned into a business, which is not bad. Now he runs several cloth shops, several grain shops, and two inns, and his business is doing very well. , In just one year, he has accumulated a substantial net worth.

  His wife, He Xiping, told Chu Xujin about Zhou Youyuan's situation in great detail.

  Chu Xujin asked, "Mrs. Zhou, has Zhou Youyuan behaved abnormally in the past few days?"

  He Xiping thought for a while and said, "He has been in a panic these few days, as if something has happened, and he also said that he plans to go out and hide for a few days, and he is very worried."

   "Is the enemy planning to come to find trouble?"

  He Xiping shook her head, "My master is usually very low-key. He never makes enemies with others, and he doesn't even blush. He is a very easy-going person."

   "You said just now that the family got a windfall, what about the windfall?"

   "The master said that he dug a piece of jade in the mine, opened up a piece of top-quality jade, and sold it for a lot of money. The money refers to windfall."

   "Have you ever seen jade?"

   "No, I only saw the 10,000 taels of silver note that the master brought back."

  Chu Xujin looked at Chu Qingzhi, but Chu Qingzhi didn't say anything, he turned his gaze away and said, "Put your master's body in the house first, and you can collect it after the case is solved."

   "Yes, my lord."

  A group of people walked towards Dali Temple.

  Chu Xujin said, "Fifth Sister, what should we do next?"

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Don't worry, wait until Lord Ren comes back and exchange information."

   Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Ren Buqing walked over quickly with someone, "The person who had a drink with Zhou Youyuan was called Xu Youchang, but Xu Youchang also disappeared."

  Accidents happened at the same time, which sounds unusual, Chu Qingzhi said, "Go and see Xu Youchang's house."

"good."

  Xu Youchang's home is nearby. It's strange to say that Zhou Youyuan and Xu Youchang have a close relationship. They used to work together in the mine, but the two families have no contact, just like strangers.

  The person who told Ren Buqing that Xu Youchang was missing was Xu Youchang's servant. Xu Youchang was richer than Zhou Youyuan, and he was usually very low-key. Except for patrolling the shop, he just made an appointment with Zhou Youyuan to drink, and stayed at home all the time. His life was very simple.

  Xu Youchang's wife cried and said, "My master goes home every day. He has never seen anyone for almost a day like now."

   "If you want to find your master, you can cooperate with us."

   "I will definitely cooperate, what do I need to do?"

   "Answer some questions for me first." Chu Xujin said, "You just said that your master made a fortune a year ago. What's going on?"

  Mrs. Xu is timid and dare not lie. She said honestly, "Master dug up a piece of top-quality jade when he was mining, and sold it for 10,000 taels. Later, our family will be rich."

  Chu Qingzhi secretly thought that the top-quality jade was dug up and sold for 10,000 taels. There can be no such a coincidence. The two must have lied.

   "Take out a piece of clothes that your master often wears."

   "Yes." Mrs. Xu asked the maid to take out the clothes and handed them to Chu Xujin.

  Chu Xujin took it to Dabai to smell it. Dabai identified the direction and led everyone out of the city.

  …

  The sun shone on the surface of Ruanjiang River, shimmering slightly, like a layer of broken gold.

  Dabai took everyone to the bank of the Yuanjiang River.

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "Dabai, is anyone in the river?"

   Dabai rubbed against Chu Qingzhi's palm, it was in the river, hurry up and salvage it.

   "Master Ren, go find the corpse hunter."

   "Okay." Ren Buqing immediately ordered people to find the corpse hunter, and then he looked at Dabai, with a hint of salivation in his eyes.

  Ren Buqing walked towards Chu Qingzhi, hesitated and said, "Miss Qingzhi, where did Dabai come from?"

  Chu Qingzhi saw what Ren Buqing was thinking at a glance, smiled and said, "In the mountains near my house."

"Do you still have one in your mountain?" Ren Buqing coughed, and said a little embarrassedly, "Dabai's ability to find things is amazing. If Dali Temple can raise one, it will be convenient when you need to find things in the future." gone."

   "The wolf with the best sense of smell, if you want to use it to solve the case, I'll help you find two wolves." Think of it as repaying the kindness of Ren Buqing's gang Chu Xujin.

   "Thank you."

  …

  The corpse hunter has rich experience in scavenging corpses, and quickly salvaged a corpse from the river. The corpse also had no head, similar to the first corpse.

  Filling the corpse said, "This corpse is tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to a large rock. There are the same rope and corpse beside it. There should be two corpses."

  After hearing what the corpse hunter said, everyone understood that the other party planned to sink the two corpses at the bottom of the river forever, but for some reason, one of them was washed to the river.

   Another corpse hunter came over and handed two things to Ren Buqing, "This is the saw we saw next to the stone, and the rope was used to tie up the corpse. We brought them up."

  Great, the murder weapon was found!

  Ren Buqing asked Si Bing to put away the saw and rope, and the case was half solved.
