Chapter 405: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (25)
Long Xingtu frowned deeply, "So, I can't find out who has passed the list of updaters? So what about the accountant who is responsible for the finance of the yamen? The salary received by the updaters was released by the government, so there should be a record of the accountant?"
"Yes!" Zhang Qing's eyes lit up suddenly, "Master Long reminded me! The original accountant only roughly smoothed the big account and handed over the service to Lord Du, but the detailed account may not be tampered with. I will go to our accountant for a while and ask him to check it one by one, and the clues can always be found!"
"There are also these people." Long Xingtu pointed to the names of other refs in the list and said: "The refrigers in the southwest suburbs may have been dealt with, but the murderer could not have silenced all refrigers in the entire county. There will always be contact between refrigers. Even if there is no private relationship, they will always know each other. If you start from both sides at the same time, you may get more valuable clues."
Zhang Qing's morale was high, "Yes! Judging from the missing updater incident today, Master Long took the real action as a god. The dead must be killed at night, and the updater is probably witnesses!"
"What surprised me was not the husband, but Lord Qian actually blatantly tear down the evidence and involved it!" Long Xingtu's eyes turned to the two corpses, and a feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart. "The deceased must be not ordinary people. Their existence must threaten the interests of some people in the officialdom, so he did not hesitate to make a big move to conceal it. Zhang Shuban, this case is of great importance, you must keep it confidential. Except for Lord Du, you must not disclose the progress of the case to anyone, and no matter where you go, you must bring the constable to prevent an accident!"
Zhang Qing secretly sucked, "Yes, I understand that once this case is disclosed, those of us who investigate the case may cause death!"
Long Xingtu sighed: "The murderer and the people in the officialdom who were sheltered by the murderer will inevitably be anxious to escape the wall in order to cover up the ugly things."
"Master Long, I have something unknown. If we follow our current inference, since the murderer decided to kill someone, why did he hide his body in the inn? He burned all the fire or threw it into a mass grave and dug a hole to bury it. Wouldn't it be all over and there would be no worries?" Zhang Qing frowned and asked.
Hearing this, the Dragon Star Map fell into deep thought. This is indeed suspicious. Since the murderer has such a layout ability, he must be a smart person. How could he not think of a way to avoid the danger caused by the exposure of the body? After thinking for a long time, she said: "Maybe another thing related to the deceased during the case makes the murderer rashly burn the corpse and abandon it, and can only be dealt with in a hurry."
At this time, the yamen runners came to report: "Master Long, the cellar is burning red!"
Long Xingtu ordered: "Extinguish the open fire, use two liters of good wine and five liters of sour vinegar to pour it into the cellar. Use the heat to put the bones into the mat and cover them with a straw mat. Steam the bones for one or two hours. When the ground in the pit cools down, take the straw mat, carry out the bones, and in the bright direction, use a red oil umbrella to cover the bones for inspection."
The yamen runners and Zhu Luzhu followed the instructions to work. Long Xingtu recalled the matter and hurriedly reminded the constable, "Notify the constables who are on duty at the yamen to receive Song Dianshi!"
"Yes!" The constable clasped his fists and rushed to the county government gate.
"Tiger!"
