Chapter 402: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (22)
The little beggar was anxious, "I am a tiger! Master Long, I didn't do anything bad, I just want to follow you!"
The eyes of the Dragon Star Map are as sharp as a knife, "I honestly tell you, did you deliberately do it if you appeared near the Bai family tonight?"
"no!"
The little beggar hurriedly clarified, "I was hungry, so I looked for food everywhere. We beggars had no fixed place. We smelled the smell and came all the way. We happened to meet Master Long. I thought Master Long was a good person, so I wanted to follow Master Long. Even if SN is a slave, at least there was a home to shelter from the wind and rain. Unexpectedly, Master Long didn't want to take me in, so I dared to follow Master Long to come here."
Hearing this, the eyes of Long Xingtu flashed dimly, "Didn't you have dinner at the Bai family?"
"No."
"You followed me to the inn backyard?"
"yes."
“Where are you hiding?”
“It’s here.”
The little beggar pointed to the place where he had just been hiding, and the ten fingers that Long Xingtu, which were behind him, slowly tightened, "Have you moved?"
"Never." The little beggar's tone was very certain.
Longxing Picture Nose: "Okay. Since you are sincere, I will accept you temporarily. Who is your name and where is your hometown? Who is still alive at home?"
"Huzi thanked Master Long!" The little beggar was ecstatic and kowtowed three times, then said: "My name is He Ye, from Shuangpingzhuang, Wuyang County. My father was trying to make a living outside in his early years, but he died in a foreign land. My mother was seriously ill a few years ago and has passed away. To this day, there are no relatives in her family."
Long Xingtu looked at the constable and explained lightly, "Xiao Ding, take Hu Zi to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
Xiao Ding received some hint from the eyes of the Dragon Star Map. He responded, then picked up the little beggar and walked towards the cowshed.
Liu Saner rubbed her fists and lowered her voice and said, "Master Long, is that beggar boy lying? What do you need to do? Just give me instructions!"
The Dragon Star Map is full of praise, "It's been a lot of progress."
Liu Saner was a little excited, "Hehe, the side hall clearly has the smell of a beggar, which means that the beggar must have been to the side hall. Moreover, Master Long's move, based on his subordinates' understanding of you, first, let Xiao Ding watch over the beggar, and second, there are countermeasures to be implemented, right?"
"You are indeed smart. But there is another suspicious thing. I have taken Hu Zi's pulse. He is just an ordinary person who knows martial arts. Why is he capable of following me but never seen by me?" Long Xingtu waved to Liu Saner and came over. She whispered: "Look near Bai Zengfu's house and see if there is another way to lead to the inn's side hall!"
"Yes!" Liu Saner nodded.
"You can call Bai Zengfu together. He has lived here for a long time and is more familiar with the road conditions than us."
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
Liu San'er bowed with fists, then held up a torch and showed up at night.
That night, except for the emergence of the little beggar, there was no abnormal life in the place of the case.
At dawn, another squad of constables took over the ward, and Long Xingtu ordered Xiao Ding to take the little beggar back to the yamen to settle.
Liu Saner rushed back and reported the investigation results: "There is indeed a shortcut road from the Bai family to the inn, but this road has been abandoned for many years and few people know about it!"
