Chapter 401: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (21)
The arrival of the Dragon Star Map has added a lot of security to the two detectives.
The three of them sat around the stove, and a few sweet potatoes were buried in the fire. The fragrance spread out, which made people feel a little hungry. The detective Xiao Ding took off the wine pot hanging around his waist and handed it to Long Xingtu, "Master Long, Chen Jie's daughter Hong, how many sips can you take?"
"Drinking during duty is not in line with the rules." Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, but reached out to take the wine pot, "Of course, I have to bear the punishment for not being as guilty as my subordinates."
She unscrewed the lid, tilted her neck and poured several large mouthfuls. The warm and cool liquid slid into her throat, and her depressed mood suddenly became refreshed.
Another man, Liu San'er, digged a cooked sweet potato, and endured the scallop and peeled it to Longxing Map, and said enthusiastically: "Master Long, try it quickly. This is a sweet potato grown by Lao Zhang from the kitchen of our county government office."
After two years of getting along, although Long Xingtu is serious and quiet, her outstanding talents are the best tool to convince people. In addition, she is kind and friendly to the people, and everyone in the yamen is brothers and sisters, and her relationships are harmonious.
Long Xingtu took a bite of the scalloped sweet potato and kept nodding, "Well, it's pretty good, it's very sweet."
"Master Long, why do you feel very strange about this case?" Xiao Ding frowned, and after saying that, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the cowshed.
Liu San'er swallowed and couldn't help but hold the official knife tightly, with a clear expression of nervousness, "Isn't it? I could always hear someone calling me when I changed the duty, but I looked around and there wasn't a single person. It's really a ghost!"
Hearing the sound of the Dragon Star Map sterned, "Who is calling you? A man or a woman? From which direction did the voice come from? Did Xiao Ding hear it?"
Xiao Ding nodded.
Liu Saner said: "It was heard from the east, and the sound was not loud, but the voice was like a male and female, so it was difficult to judge."
The Dragon Star Map looked in the direction of Liu Saner's finger and saw an inner courtyard wall to the east. She asked, "What is behind the wall?"
"It's a side hall with nothing inside." Xiao Ding replied.
Long Xingtu stood up and said, "Go and go over and take a look."
Liu Saner and Xiao Ding each raised a torch to light the lighting. The three of them walked around the courtyard wall and entered the side hall. The small house had nothing but a set of dilapidated tables and chairs.
"Master Long, the man who called my name, treated me like a monkey. When I chased after me, there was no one left silent. Then when I returned to the fire, he started calling me again. This happened three times before he calmed down."
"Master Long, who is pretending to be a ghost? Could it be that the murderer came to the door to provoke him?"
Hearing the constable's words, Long Xingtu did not answer immediately, but sniffed hard, then frowned: "What do you smell?"
"Is it a musty smell?" Xiao Ding sniffed it and guessed.
Liu Saner shook her head, "Not only, it seems there is another smell, it's like the smell of slurry?"
Long Xingtu listened to Siye, his ears suddenly moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Go out, go west, grab the living!"
The two of them were stunned at first, then quickly reacted and headed straight to the west of the courtyard wall!
After holding the Dragon Star Chart with both hands, he walked slowly to keep up.
As expected, two well-skilled constables arrested a mortal beggar. They just shouted, kicked the man over to the ground and captured him in their hands!
