Chapter 410: The Case of Hidden Corpse in the Cowshed (30)

Zhang Qing said: "This is easy to check. When Lord Du comes back, you will know that although Lord Du has been in the officialdom for only ten years, the officialdom is always well-informed."

"That's right." Long Xingtu thought to himself that Du Mingcheng was an affair with the court. With the ability of Anguo Hou to be well-informed, even if he was looking for a tenth-rank official, it would be no problem.

Zhu Luzi finished the search carefully and said, "Master Long, the deceased only carries a seal and a bellyband."

"The seal is a proof of identity. It is normal to carry it on your body, but you didn't bring the money, but you brought the girl's bellyband. What does this mean?" Long Xingtu narrowed his eyes and thought: "It means that the deceased was in a hurry before he was killed, and the bellyband was something more important than money for the deceased, so..."

Zhang Qing thought of a possibility, "Master Long, will the murderer rob the deceased of the deceased after killing the deceased?"

Long Xingtu shook his head, "The murderer must be a matter of money. The seal is in the sleeve bag. If you steal money, how can you let the seal go? This is topaz, which is of great value."

At this time, the constable reported outside the door: "Master Long, Bai Zengfu and others were ordered to come and recognize the body."

The Dragon Star Map responded, and the constable opened the door. Except for Aunt Sai, the other three really came together.

"Greetings to Master Long!" The three of them held their fists and greeted each other. Although they were ready, they were finally scared when they stood in the gloomy morgue.

Long Xingtu said in a warm voice: "It's a blessing for everyone. Do you know carefully? Have you ever seen or known the deceased?"

The three of them swallowed their saliva and turned their eyes to the deceased's face.

After a moment, Bai Zengfu was the first to scream: "Isn't this Ma Yicheng?"

"No, how could Ma Yicheng was living well at the post station outside the city?" Liu Dazhen immediately denied.

The big dog was shocked, "Yes...but this person really looks like Ma Yicheng! I have seen this set of clothes! One year, when I was delivering pork to the post station, I accidentally bumped into Ma Yicheng and dirty his clothes. I remember clearly that it was this one!"

Bai Zengfu shivered, "Ma Yicheng is indeed alive, but except for the different skin color, the two look like they look!"

Hearing this, Zhang Qing interrupted, "I don't know if the deceased is Ma Yicheng, but the name of the post station outside the city is He Chen, and his surname is not Ma, and it is not the same as the deceased's appearance."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dacheng said anxiously: "There is really a Ma Yicheng in the post station outside the city! Master Long, believe me, I just met Ma Yicheng last month. Although I have been missing for many years, I can't recognize the wrong person!"

Long Xingtu stared at Liu Dacheng with deep eyes and comforted him, "Don't worry, just tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Liu Dacheng said excitedly: "After the post station was relocated, I never saw Ma Yicheng again, but I was in the same hometown as Ma Yicheng, so I had more contacts. Later, I went to the post station outside the city to find Ma Yicheng, but the people in the post station said that Ma Yicheng resigned from his post and returned to his hometown, so I gave up. After a year or two, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives, and by the way to find Ma Yicheng, but the people in the village said that Ma Yicheng had never returned to his hometown! I was confused, and then I went to the post office to ask. The old woman in charge of cleaning told me that maybe Ma Yicheng went to the capital because Ma Yicheng was particularly yearning for the capital. I, a tofu seller, have no ability to find the capital? From then on, I gave up the idea of ​​finding Ma Yicheng."

"But on the 20th of last month, I went out of the city to visit my father's grave and met Ma Yicheng at the back door of the post station. I was very happy, but Ma Yicheng hadn't seen me for a long time and could not recognize me. I mentioned the past, and Ma Yicheng recognized me. He said that he had been away from his hometown for many years and now he has returned to his hometown to take a look. He will leave Wuyang County again in a few days. After returning home, I told the blacksmith that he could testify that I did meet Ma Yicheng that day."

Dragon Star Tu's ten fingers tightened, "Are you sure that Ma Yicheng looks the same as the deceased?"

"Absolutely." Liu Dacheng nodded.

"Where is the figure?"

"It seems to be almost the same."

"You haven't seen Ma Yicheng for more than 11 years, right? Then the appearance of Ma Yicheng you met last month is the same as in the past? Has there any change in aging?"

"There is no change, just like it was back then, but...but there is a little bit different."

Long Xingtu looked at the entangled Liu Dacheng and induced him step by step, "Where is there something on his face, or is it temperament, and his words and deeds are not the same?"

"Master Long, I haven't studied before, so I really don't know what to say. More than ten years ago, Ma Yicheng was kind and honest and always called me Dacheng brothers. He liked to laugh very much. No matter who he saw, he always had a smile on his face. But now Ma Yicheng has less gentleness and enthusiasm than before. Not only does he no longer have a smile, but he also has a little indifference. He no longer called me Dacheng brothers, but he sells tofu one bite at a time." Liu Dacheng recalled the old things, compared with the present, he couldn't help feeling sad.

The Dragon Star Map suddenly thought of something and said, "Where is your hometown?"

"Shuangpingzhuang, Wuyang County." Liu Dacheng replied.

The Dragon Star Map was shocked, and Hu Zi also came from Shuangpingzhuang. Is Hu Zi really related to the deceased?

"Liu Dacheng, since you are familiar with Prime Minister Ma Yi, I will ask you, are you clear about Ma Yicheng's family affairs?"

"I only know that Ma Yicheng lost his wife at middle age, and had no children or children at his knees, and I don't know much about the others."

Long Xingtu felt a little nervous. Was her guess wrong? "By the way, have you ever heard of a person named Han Tong?"

The three of them tried to recall, but shook their heads one after another, "I have never heard of it."

Long Xingtu thought about it for a long time and said, "Let's just do this for now. For safety reasons, after you write, stay in the yamen for a while. I will also send someone to take care of your family. When the case is solved, I will send you home."

"Yes, we follow Master Long's arrangement."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them retreated, a constable came to report: "Sir Long, something happened to Song Dianshi!"

The Dragon Star Map took a big stance and stared at the detective and said, "What are the details?"

"He Yicheng came to the yamen to sue Song Dianshi for teasing his wife after drinking!"

"What happened?"

"Yes, I'm calling for justice at the yamen at this moment! He Yicheng said, please ask Lord Du to strictly handle the Song Dianshi, but Lord Du has not returned after inspecting the river engineering..."

"Doctor Zhu, you and Shu Zhang will have an autopsy first. If you have any questions, I will talk about it later when I come back." Long Xingtu explained and left in a hurry.

The constables immediately followed.

Outside the county government gate, a joke was being staged, and more and more people were watching. Several people were making excuses, pointing out that Du Mingcheng was not strict in his rule and violated the law by knowing the law.
