Chapter 1324 I Will Stay Until Tomorrow Night

Tingting asked him: "Which young master are we going to serve?"

"Second Master."

"Can Xiao An go with me?"

Butler Zou looked a little strange: "This is the first time I've heard such a request."

He smiled, and his expression became even weirder: "Why are you in such a hurry? Just follow the arrangements."

The two girls were arranged to stay in the servants' room, where they took a bath and changed into new clothes.

The girls looked pretty even with just a set of clean old clothes.

Then the meal started, and there were all kinds of delicious food on the table.

"There are chicken legs!" There were also pork heads and meat that Han Tingting had never eaten before. She was already very hungry, so she rushed over to pick up the chicken legs and took two bites before saying to Xiao An, "Eat, come and eat!"

She ate so fast that she didn't notice that the servants who were setting the plates for them had quietly retreated and didn't look at them from beginning to end.

The evening breeze blew in through the window, bringing with it a few words:

"What a sin, they are so young."

"Shh! It's none of our business, don't talk too much!"

Xiao An sat down at the table and ate only a small piece of chicken.

She didn't have much appetite.

Han Tingting ate voraciously, and mumbled: "We really came to the right place. The food in the villa is so good, even the rice is so fragrant! I haven't eaten rice for three years. Wow, the soup is delicious too!"

Xiao An pressed her hand and whispered: "Let's go, don't stay here."

"Why?"

"The monsters are about to catch up with me." Xiao An said timidly, "They will also chase here."

Tingting was shocked: "What monster?"

"A monster that eats people, eats people quietly, I have seen it with my own eyes!"

"No, Green Villa won't let us go. We were sold here." Although Tingting is young, she knows one thing very well:

Being sold means no personal freedom.

Before he finished speaking, Butler Zou came in with a few strong servants: "Are you full? Wipe your mouth, the young master wants to see you."

The two girls followed him, turning around and around, passing through corridors and halls, and finally entered a courtyard.

Butler Zou, who had always held his head high and chest out, bowed to the man in front of him: "Second Young Master, new goods are here, take a look?"

Is this the Second Young Master? Han Tingting took a peek and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The Second Young Master's chest and back are very thick, and he has a big round face, and his eyes are squeezed smaller by fat.

This is different from the young master Han Tingting imagined. In the past, she went to the county town with her parents and listened to a book. The stories were all about handsome and clear-headed young masters.

The Second Young Master looked at her with satisfaction and reached out to touch her face.

Tingting was startled and wanted to shrink, but housekeeper Zou held her shoulders and said, "Don't hide."

The second young master said, "A little rough, but not bad looking. Where are you from?"

Housekeeper Zou answered, "The older one is from ? Township, and the younger one was picked up by a trafficker on the roadside in Chenjiazhuang."

"Just these two?"

Housekeeper Zou hurriedly said, "Recently, there are not many who meet your requirements."

The second young master hummed and pointed at Han Tingting and said, "She's the one. The younger one will stay until tomorrow night."

After that, he turned and went into the house.

Housekeeper Zou pouted at Han Tingting, "Why are you still standing there? Follow me in! Please the young master well, and you will have a good life in the villa in the future, understand?"

Han Tingting grabbed Xiao An's hand and comforted her, "Go to bed first, don't be afraid. I will come back tomorrow and bring you delicious food."

Xiao An nodded vigorously.

A few strong servants sent Han Tingting into the second young master's room, and Xiao An followed housekeeper Zou out.

Before leaving the courtyard, she looked back again, and Han Tingting happened to grin at her, and made a gesture of gnawing a chicken leg.

Tomorrow morning, I will secretly bring you a chicken leg!

Xiao An finally showed the first smile since she went with her.

To go to Pei State to investigate the murder case, you need the cooperation of the local people.

Through Yu Hai, He Lingchuan asked the king of Pei State for some authority, that is, a temporary status of an inspector. Pei Jun was also considerate and attached a letter, ordering the county lieutenant of Liu County to cooperate with the investigation.

This trick really worked. The county lieutenant's surname was Li. When He Lingchuan came to his door, he still ignored him, but as soon as the official document arrived, Li County Lieutenant immediately knew that he was not up to him, and his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he personally took He Lingchuan to the countryside to inspect the crime scene.

Dong Rui made a request: "Do an autopsy first."

It has been more than half a month, and it is still a humid spring. The stench of the coffin from the ground is nauseating, and it can smoke Li County Lieutenant and the officers five feet away.

Dong Rui didn't even frown, he rolled up his sleeves and jumped down.

He didn't trust the county's coroner, so he had to examine it himself.

After digging up eleven or twelve bodies for sampling, Dong Rui said to He Lingchuan: "This kind of tearing wound is very similar to that caused by bear claws. The murderer has claws, but he is smaller than a grizzly bear and more flexible."

Li Xianwei covered his nose and approached: "How do you know they are more flexible?"

"Most of the wounds on the corpses are on the chest and neck, and rarely appear below the waist." Dong Rui said casually, "It means that the murderer specifically targeted the vital points, basically killing with one or two strikes, without wasting energy. And look at the wounds on the necks of these two dead people-"

He pointed to everyone: "The blood holes poked by the big teeth are very narrow, the murderer's mouth is smaller than the bear, and the tooth marks don't match the bear's teeth."

"I won't go into details. There were at least four murderers that night, with different shapes and sizes." Dong Rui walked to another corpse. "As for these corpses, there is no obvious difference on the body surface." There were no wounds or poisoning, but there was still something left on them.”

He had just smeared these "intact" corpses, and everyone saw faint red marks appearing on the corpses.

"Their shoulders and necks were pinched heavily." Dong Rui gestured according to the marks, "Look, this man's chin was pinched before he was alive."

While he was doing the autopsy, He Lingchuan was looking through the deceased's information.

That's a thick pile.

He Lingchuan scanned it quickly and asked Li County Lieutenant: "Why are there only about twenty people's information?"

Lieutenant Li did not expect him to grade the papers so quickly, so he paused and said, "Nothing else."

"Why?"

"Those days, there was a shortage of paper in the government office." Faced with the inspector sent by the superiors, County Lieutenant Li hesitated, "Besides, the wounds of the deceased were all similar, and their backgrounds were villagers, so..."

He Lingchuan looked at him from head to toe: "Li County Lieutenant is really upright."

The work was lousy and I didn't know how to sugarcoat it.

Lieutenant Li's face turned red, knowing that he was mocking him. "What do you need?"

"Take us to the Zhuangzi where the crime occurred. By the way, how many of them died peacefully?"

"There are seven or eight of them."
