Chapter 164 Suspicious Three People

Author: Rongtu

Ever since he took over the mantle of his ancestors, Xu Wuzuo has been diligent and conscientious in fulfilling his duties. Whether it is the requirements of the county government position or the constraints imposed by his ancestors on his work, he has never neglected it.

Because of his reputation, Xu Wuzuo not only investigated cases in Annan County, but also often traveled to other surrounding counties to help solve cases.

In order to help the county government catch the real culprit as soon as possible, and also for the common people to live a stable life.

It can be said that Xu Wuzuo was so focused on investigating the case that he was still unmarried after turning 30.

No matter what difficulties and life circumstances he encountered, Xu Wuzuo never relaxed his faith and persistence in this job for more than 30 years.

But today.

Fan Ye's words stung his heart and made him waver in his firmness.

Indeed, it has been more than thirty days since this case occurred.

What happened in the case itself is extremely strange. If it were an ordinary person, they would naturally conclude that the three deceased people were in a state of homelessness for a long time, resulting in lack of food and physical deprivation.

Under such circumstances, sudden death is natural.

In most cases, the case will be closed hastily.

After taking over the case, Xu Wuzuo looked through the letters left by his ancestors at home and the allusions in various books, and found that this kind of sudden death without trauma and no reason did indeed exist.

But it never happened to three people at once.

Moreover, these three people are related to a certain extent, and the place of death is also at the same place.

The three deceased persons were a boy, a girl and a child, and their physical qualities and structures were not entirely consistent.

Combining clues from all aspects, Xu Wuzuo finally concluded that the case was a homicide.

The arrested suspect was the only one who had contact with this family.

If not him, who else could it be?!

With the conclusion of the case concluded, Mr. Xia quickly sent people to capture the murder suspect.

But in the past month, no matter how Mr. Xia interrogated the suspect, he always insisted that he was innocent.

During this period, Mr. Xia also tried to use criminal methods, but the physical pain still failed to make him show any signs of relenting.

Mr. Xia is an honest and honest official, not a ruthless and corrupt official.

Seeing how resolute and unyielding the suspect was, he also realized that something fishy was going on.

In order not to wrongly accuse any innocent person, he had to postpone the case again and again.

In fact, Shang Feng, who is in charge of Annan County, had investigated the case seven days ago and repeatedly urged Mr. Xia to close the case quickly so as not to affect the detection rate of murder cases in Annan County.

Seeing Master Xia's concern, Xu Wuzuo also checked the corpse repeatedly in the mortuary every day.

Unfortunately, no more clues can be found.

Fan Ye's refutation just now made Xu Zuo start to doubt himself.

Is it because I was so eager to solve the case that I dug through the corpses every day that I inadvertently lost or erased the subtle and important clues?!

Fan Ye didn't expect that his words would make the other party quiet down.

Seeing that Xu Zuozuo had lost his previous anger, he naturally stopped speaking.

"Uncle He, you said earlier that these three corpses had neither any wounds nor poisoning."

Su Qingtian tugged on Fan Ye's sleeves to signal him to get out of the way, then walked up to He Gu and Xu Zuozuo and asked, "Are there any other clues besides these? You can tell me about any small and unusual situations."

He Gu shook his head without thinking.

"The corpse investigation work has been repeated many times, and I will tell you everything I know."

"As for the names and origins of the three people, Mr. Xia has been arranging personnel to investigate. Unfortunately, no one has interacted with them. The three people came all the way from other places, and there is nothing on them to prove their identity. This is also the judgment

They are an important reason for being displaced."

"After the investigation of the residents around the body was found to no avail, Mr. Xia also sent letters to surrounding counties to trace the person."

"But in January, many missing family members came to identify the bodies, but they all said they didn't know the three of them at all."

"It is precisely because of this that this unknown case has remained unresolved to this day."

"You said, the three of them are tentatively classified as refugees?"

Seizing what He Gu was saying, Fan Ye glanced at Su Qingtian and asked, "What do you mean tentatively?"

Concentration is determination, and tentative determination does have some elusive meaning.

Fan Ye has traveled far and wide and is particularly sensitive to these small details.

"According to eyewitnesses who have seen these three people, this family is richly dressed and spends a lot of money."

"This man among them had a rough and rough temperament, which did not match his fine clothes. He looked like a reckless man in his movements, which attracted some people's attention."

"And the woman kept following the man, her head bowed and her dog hugging her back, as if she was afraid of strangers."

When Fan Ye heard this description, he felt surprised and novel, "What about this child?"

"Children are even weirder."

Speaking of this, He Gu also recalled with a puzzled look on his face, "We found an inn, and the innkeeper said that they came up and ordered ten dishes. The child seemed to have never eaten before, grabbing the dishes and putting them in his mouth.

"

"Bite after bite, I was devouring it as if I hadn't had enough for a long time."

"So Mr. Xia guessed that they were originally refugees who robbed a wealthy family's money on their way to Annan County, and that's why they came here like this."

"However, the specific identity still needs to be further investigated before a determination can be made."

"In this case, why don't you find out about the rich family that was robbed?"

Facing Fan Ye's attention, He Gu shook his head, "Unfortunately, we haven't found it. During this period, whether we went to the official road to check or visit, or the cases received in surrounding counties, there was no trace of being robbed."

Fan Ye was shocked now.

In this case, all roads have been completely cut off!

"Didn't you say that the suspect has been caught? Just because he refused to plead guilty, the case was not decided?"

Su Qingtian quietly brought the topic to her third uncle.

Usually the government decides the case and can convict as long as three pieces of evidence are present.

Regardless of whether the suspect pleads guilty or not, it is irreversible.

Unexpectedly, He Gu sighed secretly and lowered his voice and said, "You two don't know anything. The suspect in the prison has been eliminated and is not the real culprit in this case!"

"He is the owner of Wanhetang. He was involved in this matter less than half an hour after returning from a business trip. All the evidence has nothing to do with him."

"Since you know he is not the real culprit, why don't you let him go?"

Fan Ye asked with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that you, Mr. Xia, have been unable to find the real culprit for a long time, so you plan to detain this innocent man and beat him into a crime, so as to take the blame and close the case?!"

The person locked in the cell is his young master's third uncle, so naturally he won't just watch indifferently.

"Brother, please don't talk nonsense!"
