Luo Yunhe casually picked up a gold ingot and pointed to a mark on it.
"This is the unique mark of the Zhang family in Qiannan County!" The clerk was greatly shocked upon seeing it.
"Three years ago, the Zhang family was wiped out by a group of bandits, and all their treasures were lost. I never expected this..."
The clerk and the constables stared at the gold and silver jewelry in the box, each bearing the Zhang family's mark.
"Miss Luo, how do you know so much about this kind of thing?"
"That's right, no matter how much we investigated back then, we couldn't find anything, but today you..."
Luo Yunhe understood what they meant, so she told them everything she had seen and felt.
"First of all, there is no such thing as ghosts or gods in this world, not to mention that strange sounds would come from inside."
Secondly, if it were a revenge killing, how could the other person's body be dismembered into eight pieces?
Third. Upon entering the shop, I saw the bloodstains on the walls in a chaotic manner. It was as if it were just for show; after all, if someone had really been injured, how could the bloodstains be so everywhere?
You can think about it yourselves. If you were the ones who killed someone, what would you be thinking? But the person who killed the victim was not flustered at all, and even beat the person until they were covered in blood. It was obviously a smokescreen.
This immediately shifted your focus to other areas, causing you to completely miss the details around you.
Third, how could there be fresh footprints inside a shop that hasn't been used for a long time? Most importantly, in the heavy snow, there was no blood in a certain place, and the area where the spearhead was was frequently being turned over.
Furthermore, once we entered the shop, I felt a pair of eyes constantly watching us. Where exactly were these eyes?
"The wall?"
"Yes! That's why I asked you about the people next door."
Moreover, one detail you gave me a very clear indication was that the old man had lived alone for many years, but his son returned more than a year ago with a wife..."
His explanation immediately made the clerk and the constable understand what he meant.
"Quickly, go and capture the courtesan!" the advisor immediately ordered.
"No, none of this has anything to do with him. I did it all. Don't arrest her!"
The man on the ground could no longer bear it and spoke up.
Luo Yunhe was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this person would care so much about that courtesan.
"Since you're willing to confess, then just confess." Luo Yunhe stretched. "Master, gentlemen, I won't keep you company any longer. You can interrogate him at your leisure!"
The clerk was overjoyed to have solved such a big case and immediately nodded to Luo Yunhe: "Alright, after this matter is settled, we will personally visit Miss Luo to thank her."
Luo Yunhe waved her hand and slowly walked out of the yamen.
When he got home, his body was almost frozen solid. He quickly boiled some water, cooked a meal, and only after eating did he feel better.
However, he couldn't understand why, even in a conflict, the other party would be killed so tragically. There must be something else going on.
However, this was no longer his responsibility, so Luo Yun simply washed up and went to rest.
The next day, Luo Yunhe was busy at the winery.
There was a series of knocks on the door. Luo Yunhe quickly put down what she was holding and went to the front yard. When she opened the door, she saw people from the yamen.
"Miss Luo, something terrible has happened! That person died yesterday!"
"What?"
"The notorious bandit we caught yesterday is dead in prison. He died of poisoning; his stomach was cut open..."
When Luo Yunhe heard the news, her face turned extremely ugly. She never expected that after just one night, the other party would be dead, and in such a disgusting way.
"Isn't he locked up in jail? Isn't there any clue? Who's on duty?"
“The people on night watch are all our own people, and the other party died in prison. The way he died is too strange, and there are no clues at all, which is very strange. So we came early this morning to ask Miss Luo to take a look!”
"Okay, wait for me!" After taking off his apron, Lu Yunhe ran to the back, turned the fire to its lowest setting, added some firewood, found Sister Qiu, explained his destination, and hurriedly left.
yamen.
The advisor's face was also very grim.
He never expected that the other party would be dead after only one night, and the manner of his death was truly horrific.
Upon arriving at the yamen, Luo Yunhe went directly to the prison and examined the scene. The body had already been disposed of, leaving only a large amount of bloodstains.
Just as the official said, there were no traces, and the way he died was too cruel, clearly indicating that the other party had come prepared.
It was somewhat surprising that no trace was left behind. She then looked at the cell door, and there were no signs of the lock being damaged, which meant that it was done by an insider.
Someone who could be so ruthless must have a grudge against him.
"Are the gold and silver jewelry we brought back yesterday lost?"
"No!"
"Who was on duty yesterday? Did they hear anything?"
"The person on duty just went home, should we call them back?"
"Call them back!"
Seeing that Luo Yunhe was so certain, they immediately called back all the people who were on duty yesterday, and had them stand in a row in front of Luo Yunhe.
"Where are you all standing? Didn't you hear any strange noises?"
The group standing in front of him were all young men who were not very old. They were dressed in the uniforms of yamen runners, and because of their profession, they had dark circles under their eyes.
So many people on duty had died, and the constables were terrified, each pointing out their assigned positions.
Luo Yunhe went to check their locations one by one.
The distance isn't too far, but it's not too close either; if there's any movement, everyone should be able to hear it.
But the other person was already dead, and had been disemboweled, yet no one heard any sound, which was really strange.
So Luo Yunhe began to observe her surroundings little by little from her position in the prison.
Luo Yunhe observed very carefully and quickly found something different in the corner, which was a white powder in different locations.
He gently pinched a little bit with his fingers, sniffed the white substance, and then his brows furrowed even more.
