Chapter 201 Where is he?
"How do you know that no one has entered those yards all year round?" Jiang Yunxi wanted to know how they found out.
"No footprints!"
Jiang Jingyan and Zhan Luochen said in unison.
Jiang Yunxi curled her lips and smiled, "No one lives here all year round. People do leave footprints when they leave, but if it rains heavily, the footprints will disappear."
Zhan Luochen: "..."
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
What she said seemed to make sense.
"But it hasn't rained in the capital recently. At least no one has entered the yard recently. You are right to judge based on the footprints." Jiang Yunxi praised with a smile.
Both of them smiled brightly when they were praised.
At this time, Taoist Qingxu and others also returned.
"I knew you were back. The body is not somewhere else." Taoist Qingxu said meaningfully. He realized it while searching.
"Master is smart." Jiang Yunxi gave him a thumbs up.
Taoist Qingxu's mouth twitched slightly, "So it's in that old lady's yard?"
Jiang Yunxi nodded, "Let's go now."
The group went directly to the old lady's yard.
The yard door was not closed but open.
The big black dog barked very fiercely when he heard the footsteps.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Hun Dun who was squatting next to him and motioned him to go in and stop the dog from barking.
Chaos rushed in and bared his fangs and claws at the big black dog.
When the big black dog saw it, it was so scared that it trembled all over and quickly found a place to hide.
Jiang Yunxi went in directly and saw the old lady sitting in the yard. She seemed to be embroidering something with a needle and thread. "Old lady, the body is in your yard, right?"
The old lady paused holding the needle. "I know you'll come again. Don't ask me. I really don't know what corpse is."
"Old lady, just tell me the truth." Taoist Qingxu said in a kind voice.
"I'm telling the truth. You should look somewhere else." After saying that, the old lady continued with the work in her hands, as if she didn't want to bother with them anymore.
"You, do I really have to torture you?" Zhan Luochen deliberately threatened the other party.
The old lady looked at him and said, "If you want to torture me, then do so. I'm going to see the King of Hell soon anyway."
Zhan Luochen: "..."
Jiang Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Out of the yard.
She looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said, "You arrange for the guards to stay nearby and don't leave."
Zhan Beiyuan: "Okay."
"Disciple, why did you leave?" Taoist Qingxu asked in confusion.
"Let's first find out what happened here a year ago." Jiang Yunxi said seriously. The old lady would not guard Pei Heng's body for no reason. Logically speaking, she would not know the Pei brothers.
"You guys go and find out. Qingyang Miaoyin and I will stay here and chat with the old lady to see if we can get her to speak on her own initiative." Taoist Qingxu said with a smile, it's better for them to act separately.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi thought this was fine.
…
Jingzhao Yinfu.
When Qu Xinwen saw Zhan Beiyuan and Jiang Yunxi coming, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Zhan Beiyuan got straight to the point. "What happened to the village behind the charity cemetery? Why did the people move away? When did they move away?"
Qu Xinwen immediately remembered it and whispered, "I heard it's haunted and that place is unclean. Plus, the charity cemetery is nearby, so the people are afraid and have moved away one after another."
Zhan Beiyuan said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Have you checked whether it is really haunted?"
Qu Xinwen said uncomfortably, "I haven't checked. There were no casualties at the time. Plus, it's close to the charity cemetery, so the people might have been really scared. But there was a murder there a year ago, and several people died."
After hearing the three words from a year ago, Zhan Beiyuan and Jiang Yunxi looked at each other.
It seems they came to the right place.
"What happened a year ago?" Jiang Yunxi asked. Sure enough, something happened.
"Almost all the residents of that village moved away, but one family did not. As a result, they were robbed and only the old lady was left in the family. Everyone else died," said Qu Xinwen with a sad expression.
There are young people and children.
He had been to the scene and it was quite tragic, so he remembered it very clearly.
"Where is the thief?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"He was dead when we found him, and we don't know who killed him." Qu Xinwen said that since the old lady had pointed him out, it didn't matter who killed the thief.
The thief deserved to die, and the case was quickly closed.
"Didn't you check it out?" Zhan Beiyuan's handsome face was cold.
Qu Xinwen said cautiously, "Several people died in that family. The old lady identified the thief, and he had the tools used in the crime. Someone saw injustice and helped, so we didn't investigate..."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi thought for a moment and said, "Can you show us the personal information of the deceased family members? There should be records, right?"
Qu Xinwen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'll take you to see it."
File room.
Qu Xinwen quickly found a case file on the bookshelf. "It contains all the records, and there are also portraits of the deceased."
Zhan Beiyuan took over the case file.
Jiang Yunxi took the portrait, and when she saw that there were children of several years old among the dead, her eyes were filled with coldness.
Next, she looked at the case files.
After reading it, Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan left the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. They went to Pei's house to confirm the day when Pei Heng stopped seeing people.
It turned out to be the day after the murder occurred in that family.
"Miss Jiang, have you found the whereabouts of Pei Heng?" Old Master Pei asked anxiously. They had been coming to the Pei family frequently in the past two days. For some reason, he felt very uneasy.
"Yes, we have it. We should be able to see him soon." Jiang Yunxi felt uncomfortable when he said this, because Pei Heng was dead and they could only see his corpse.
After hearing this, Old Master Pei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, thank you and King Han for your hard work."
When Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan left the Fu family, they happened to meet Pei Lie who had just returned from outside.
"Prince Han, Miss Jiang." Pei Lie clasped his hands together and saluted.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "We found Pei Heng."
Pei Lie's body stiffened, his face filled with excitement. "Did you really find Pei Heng? Where is he?"
Jiang Yunxi said meaningfully, "Actually, you should know where he is better than us, right, Master?"
"Miss Jiang, what are you talking about? My brother ran away from home and I'm very worried too." Pei Lie's face was full of confusion and doubt.
"Are you free? Come with us to a place." Jiang Yunxi planned to take him to that farm. If he didn't go, the old lady would not tell them where Pei Heng's body was.
"When I'm free." Pei Lie nodded.
…
Zhuangzi.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan took Pei Lie directly to the old lady's yard.
"What are we doing here?" Pei Lie asked calmly, but his hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves.
