Chapter 146 Solving a case is like putting out a fire

Qiu Wuhen didn't want to wait until the next day. He was eager to know what was written on the ball of paper. He asked other questions, but there was no more useful information, and then he left.

He wanted to go back home and talk to his family before setting off. Every second counts in solving a case. He couldn't wait until the weather was sunny and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant to solve the case. Even if he got clues in the middle of the night, he had to investigate immediately.

Otherwise, as time passes and unknown things happen, the case will become a case that will never be solved.

Qiu Wuhen arrived at the back garden of his home, knocked on the door, and the cow water tank opened the door and said to him: "Master, the shopkeeper of Jin Zhitang is here, talking to grandma in the house."

After that, he pointed to the old lady's house. Qiu Wuhen thought to himself, why did this woman come to his house? Could it be that she had trouble with him?

Thinking of this, he quickly came to the old lady's house, and sure enough he saw Qian Jinzhi joking with a few people in the house, and he was so happy.

Qian Jinzhi was really familiar with him, and he got along with the Su family very quickly. Seeing Qiu Wuhen come in, Su Jinsong ran out happily and said, "My husband is back."

Qian Jinzhi also came over quickly and said, "I was just looking for you, but I happened to hear the old ladies telling stories, so I chatted with them for a while. Didn't you go to investigate the case? How was the investigation?"

Qiu Wuhen said: "I am checking, and I will go out immediately."

He turned to look at Su Jinsong: "I have to leave the city. Yeji Temple has an important clue to verify. Don't worry, I'm fine. Just prepare a lantern or a torch for me."

When Su Jinsong heard this, he immediately became nervous and said, "No, it's too dark for you to go out of the city to Yeji Temple alone in such a dark sky. You can go there at dawn tomorrow."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Investigating a case is like putting out a fire. There is no time to delay. Get ready quickly."

Qian Jinzhi immediately said: "Let me go with you. I have a carriage. Let's go by car. It will be faster. In addition, I will bring two more guys and prepare more torches and so on. This way there will be no problem if there are more people."

"

Su Jinsong said: "That's right, if shopkeeper Qian takes the store's clerk to escort you, that's fine. If it's not too dangerous, let's wait until tomorrow."

Grandma Su also staggered over and said, "That's right. You can either wait until tomorrow or call a few more people to go. It's really not safe for you to be alone."

Qiu Wuhen had no choice but to nod to Qian Jinzhi and said, "In that case, I'll thank you for the hard work."

"Why bother? I originally wanted to ask you about the strange things that happened today. I heard that you were investigating. I'm curious to see if anything has been found. I just want to talk with you now."

Qian Jinzhi asked Qiu Wuhen to wait while she went home to prepare the car.

Soon she arrived in her luxurious carriage, bringing five men with her, all riding horses and following behind the carriage with lanterns and torches, and arrived at Su's house.

After arriving at the back of Qiu Wuhen's house, Qiu Wuhen got into her carriage. But this time he had learned the lesson and took off his shoes before entering the carriage.

After entering, I saw the mattresses and found that they had been replaced with a new set. I thought that Qian Jinzhi really had a mysophobia.

As soon as he sat down, Qian Jinzhi also came in and sat next to him, and then ordered him to set off.

Qian Jinzhi asked about the investigation of the case, but Qiu Wuhen didn't want to go into too much detail. He only said that there was an important clue that he needed to go to Yeji Temple to verify.

Qian Jinzhi said, "I have some news for you. I don't know if it will be useful to you in solving the case."

When Qiu Wuhen heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said quickly: "What is it, please tell me quickly."

"It's the guy named Wang Xiaosi. Just yesterday he came to my pharmacy to look for me."

"He came to you, why?"

"He said he saw Yinchai twice and asked me if he was sick and hallucinating."

Qiu Wuhen's heart trembled, and he felt a little numb all over his body, and a chill ran down his spine. Yin Chai Chai was clearly dead, so why did he see him twice.

He immediately asked: "What's going on?"

"I also asked him, and he said that on the second night after Yinchai died that day, he went to the hut before going to bed. When he got to the hut, he saw someone under a tree."

"He just asked who it was, and the person walked towards him and stopped when he was about ten steps away."

"But there was light in the room, and I could already see it clearly. It was Yinchai, with blood still hanging from the corner of her mouth. She was wearing the same clothes as that day. Wang Xiaosi was so frightened that she screamed and squatted on the ground holding her head."

"After a while, there was no movement, so Wang Xiaosi dared to look up, but there was no one in front of him. He looked around again, but there was still no one, but there were footprints under the tree, and there was a small amount of blood on the footprints.

"

Qiu Wuhen's heart moved. Wang Xiaosi also committed suicide very strangely. Could this be the reason? Then he said: "What about the second time?"

"The second time was yesterday morning when he came to my pharmacy and told me that he had really seen a ghost or that he was hallucinating."

"He said that he packed a load of firewood and carried it home when it was getting dark the day before yesterday. He saw Yin Chai again on the road. This time the woman in front stopped and turned back to look at him."

"The moment she turned around and came back, he saw clearly that it was Yin Chai. She was wearing the same clothes as that day. There was blood on the corner of her mouth. She smiled coldly at him, but said nothing."

"He was so frightened that he threw away the firewood and ran away. He ran a mile in one breath and sat on the roadside panting."

"Then I rested for a while and walked back with my companions. The firewood was still there, but the silver hairpin was missing."

"So he came to my pharmacy as soon as dawn to see me, asking the doctor to see if he was really hallucinating."

"He said he thought he might have encountered a ghost the first time, but his family didn't have enough money to go see Mr. Yin Yang, so he had to endure it."

"But this time he definitely wasn't the ghost he encountered, because ghosts only come out at night, and even though it was evening, the sun had just set and it was still bright. How could a ghost come out in broad daylight?"

"It was then that he felt that he was hallucinating in his head, so he should ask the doctor to check first. After all, he had a relationship with us, so he decided to come to see me to see if I could be cheaper."

"So I agreed. I said that after all, we are friends, so I found someone to see him. He would only charge for the medicine, not his consultation fees."

"He was very happy. After reading it, the doctor said that he was suffering from hysteria, because it is easy to have such hallucinations when encountering terrible things. He would be fine if he took some medicine, so he prescribed medicine for him, and he took it with him.

gone."

"Unexpectedly, I heard today that he died. He jumped directly from the cliff of Yeji Mountain. I really saw a ghost."

"I met Mr. Ke today. He led a patrol and passed by my pharmacy. He came in and sat for a while and drank a cup of tea. He told me that you were investigating these four strange suicide cases. The county magistrate asked you to investigate.

"

"I just found out that Wang Xiaosi was also dead, and another one was crushed to death by rocks. He dug the hole himself and took down the rocks to crush him. It was really scary."

"I was just wondering if these two things would be helpful since you were investigating Wang Xiaosi's affairs. So I came to see you. I didn't come to your house intentionally."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "What you said is very important. We need to verify these two things clearly. After Yeji Temple investigates this matter, he will immediately go to Wang Xiaosi's village to investigate the two things you mentioned."

"Let's go overnight."

"Yes, if you wait until dawn, you won't be able to find anyone."

After talking all the way, the car arrived at the gate of the city. The city gate was closed at this time. After Qiu Wuhen got out of the car, he first revealed his identity as Master Xingming and wanted to go out of the city to investigate the case.

As a result, the city guard didn't give any face at all, saying that even if Fei Zhixian came in person, he might not be able to open it. This was the rule.

Qiu Wuhen was about to show off his Jinyiwei waist badge, but Qian Jinzhi had already stuffed a piece of silver in his hand, saying that he had to leave the city for something urgent and asked him to go there for his convenience.

The city guard immediately said with a smile on his face: "Since Master Xing is going out to investigate the case, of course official business is important." He immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Only then did Qiu Wuhen realize that sometimes identity is not as effective as money. Of course, identity is the basis for letting the other party open the city. If money can be added, things can be done, but official matters will not work.

And when he showed the Jin Yiwei waist card, the other party would definitely not dare not listen. But Yao Hulu had already said that he should use the Jin Yiwei waist card as little as possible, because he was a secret agent and could not reveal his identity unless absolutely necessary.

The city gate finally opened, and they rode out of the city in a carriage, all the way to the foot of Yeji Mountain.

At that moment they got off the carriage, took five men with them, and started going up the mountain with lanterns and torches.

It's easy to walk along the way, but you have to pass the cliff, which is the most hanging place.

Today there is still white snow in many places throughout the mountain, and the reflection on the ground is relatively bright. Although there is no moon in the sky, the surroundings can be seen more clearly in the hazy sky.

And they also lit lanterns and torches, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to see the road when they came to the cliff.

Qian Jinzhi left first, letting Qiu Wuhen follow him, and the other guys came last. They walked all the way, and when they arrived at the location of the rock, sure enough, the collapsed rock was gone, and a small piece was missing underground.

It seemed that Qi San's parents were right. They had poked out a stone underneath, causing the big stone to lose its support and collapse. In this way, the rope hung the corpse's legs and pulled the corpse.

The body was successfully recovered.

At that time, other people helped to dig a new path in the mountain to bypass the gap. Now they just bypass the gap before returning to the previous road.

When Qiu Wuhen was passing by here, Qian Jinzhi turned around and asked if Qiu Wuhen was here. Qiu Wuhen nodded. Qian Jinzhi also held up a lantern and looked around carefully, but there were no traces left.

.

Only the gap, open like a monster's mouth, indicates that a person's life has been swallowed here.
