In the yard, a corpse was lying in a pool of blood. The knife wound on his heart was clearly seen. Li Ling, who was stabbing in, narrowed his eyes and his heartbeat even faster. This was the first time he had come into contact with the corpse of the murder case so close.

Compared to him, Lin Lie on the side was much calmer. He first went up and looked up the body carefully, and then said, "Is this the scene of the murder? There are no traces of movement?"

"Yes, the boss, I have recognized it. This is the deceased's house. He lives alone and has no relatives."

"Then how did he be found dead here?" Lin Lie looked up at the sky. The sun had just risen.

"It was Li Laoshi, who was selling tofu in the morning, who passed by his house and found that the door was closed. Then he smelled a bloody smell and pushed the door to check it out. Then he was frightened and shouted to startle the surroundings."

"Is this Li honest? Is there any problem with the deceased?" Li Ling couldn't help but ask. He has read many mystery novels. According to statistics, 70% of the founders of the murder case are the murderer himself.

"Then Li Zhongshi doesn't have the courage or ability. After seeing the body, he has not been able to stand up until now." A detective replied with a smile, "And the deceased never had any major grudges with him during his lifetime."

"It's just that there was friction?" Lin Lie asked after he grabbed some details.

"This person has offended many people before. He is a gangster and rogue. He has been domineering in the city with Zhuang Qiang before. Naturally, the neighbors around him are often disturbed by him..."

Li Ling and Lin Lie both raised their eyebrows when they heard this: "This person was once Zhuang Qiang's subordinate? Haven't those guys who do evil all been imprisoned in prison?"

"There are always a few fish that missed the net. This guy is very careful. He has been hiding at home for several days, and no one has seen him during the day."

"Brother Lin, do you think this matter is related to Zhuang Qiang?" Li Ling asked tentatively. It was not that he had rich associations, but that was really this person. It was a coincidence that this time was just like this. It was just that Zhuang Qiang might have returned and such a murder occurred at night.

"It's possible, look at him like this. The traces on his mouth were kept by someone. It should be to prevent him from shouting before he died, and he was killed by just one stab. Obviously, he had no resistance or defense. It should be to make him suddenly kill him without any warning!" Lin Lie, as the captain of the county for many years, still had this little vision. Then he asked again: "Are there any other clues in the room?"

"I have checked the boss, but I didn't see any problems with the bowls and chopsticks, but there are two cups of water in the main hall. It seems that the murderer does have some relationship with him, and the two have also drank together."

"I've seen the room over there, and the traces of someone having slept must be the murderer!"

Several clues converge so much, Li Ling and Lin Lie felt that their inference was 70% or 80% sure, and it should be the one Zhuang Qiang killed! But then, other suspicions emerged - why did Zhuang Qiang do this? This guy is his subordinate and is not his enemy. Even if he really wants to kill someone, as Li Ling said, he should go to him. The most important point is, after the killing, where did Zhuang Qiang run overnight?

The two exchanged glances with each other, but did not think of any reason. After pondering for a while, Lin Lie ordered: "You can leave a few more people here, and then go door to door to check carefully to see if anyone has seen a suspicious person appear here last night, or how he looked when he left. The others took the bodies and followed me back to the yamen!"

The detectives immediately agreed and then quickly became busy. At this time, the coroner also carefully examined the body, and what he said was consistent with Lin Lie's judgment: "The deceased was first covered by his mouth and nose, and then stabbed into the heart and died. There were no other scars, and there were no traces of fighting. According to the situation of the corpse, the death time should be in the middle of the night, no more than four days."

Lin Lie nodded and looked at Li Ling worriedly: "Brother, you have to be more careful next."

Li Ling nodded. If it was really the one Zhuang Qiang killed, his situation would be in danger. The other party had become a murderer, so he naturally didn't care about killing one more, and he was his big enemy. Perhaps not only did his sister want to stay in the Gu family for the time being, but he also had to stay there for a while before he could go home after he caught it.

"Let's go, let's go back to the yamen first, and then slowly discuss and find the next clue." Lin Lie looked around again, and after confirming that there were no useful clues, he called Li Ling back to the county government. He was ambushed all night last night, and now he has come to the crime scene to work hard, even he feels a little tired.

At that moment, everyone dismantled the door panel and carried the body, swaying towards the county government, which attracted many people to watch and discuss. Taking this opportunity, Lin Lie asked someone to inquire with the people along the way for any suspicious situation, but it is impossible to find valuable clues for the time being.

After half an hour, they finally returned to Yaqian Street. It was the end of Si and the sun was almost climbing above their heads. Pedestrians on the street were unconscious, and the shops were even more prosperous.

At this time, in a tea shop that the county government office had been facing, several people were drinking tea, but their eyes were not on those who were entering and leaving the yamen, and their faces seemed a little impatient. The handsome young man in the leader, who was a little frivolous, even frowned after slapping the folding fan a few times, said, "You guys are not mistaken. It's almost noon, and you haven't seen anyone yet? Hasn't he already been a job in the yamen? How could he be such a job?"

"There will be no mistakes. We sent someone to keep an eye on it early in the morning. The person named Li has never been here. Maybe it's because he has something to do today, so he won't come to the county government?"

"But isn't there anyone in his family? I can't tell how many skills this guy has, but he's quite a big shot. I really want me to visit the cottage three times? He's not Zhuge Liang..." The young man said and took a sip of tea and spat again, "The tea in the small county town is so bad, it's not as delicious as the worst teahouse in our city."

"Young master, he is here...that person should be!" One of them suddenly looked at the team of people who were slow to move because of the onlookers. The others also glanced at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Li Ling, who was walking side by side with Lin Lie in front.

"I've been going out for a long time to do business? No, it seems that he is handling the case. Isn't he a county magistrate? Why is he still in charge of handling the case?" The young master looked puzzled, but he didn't think too much. He immediately put the tea bowl he had just picked up on the table, picked up the folding fan and strode towards him.

Seeing this, the few followers quickly settled the bill and followed. A big man who had not made any noise even hurriedly and met Li Ling and his party with him.

Li Ling also found someone coming towards him, which made Lin Lie feel a little alert, and he stepped in front of Li Ling first, and ordered: "Everyone is watching, the other party doesn't know where to come from!" He just went to the scene of the murder, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Li Ling also felt a little confused. What kind of tricks do these guys do? They should not be dressed as the dealer. It was already this time. How could Zhuang Qiang gather these people to come to the county yard to block him?

As he thought, two groups of people had met, the young man unfolded his folding fan and raised his head and smiled: "Hey, you are Li Ling, right?"

"Who are you?" Lin Lie responded to him. With his hand swaying, the detectives even surrounded him and completely separated them from Li Ling.

This attitude confused all the young people. Did he treat himself as a thief? The young man immediately smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, my name is Wan..."

Just when he was about to reveal his identity, just as everyone, including Li Ling, focused on this person, suddenly became a sudden change-

There are not only various shops on Yaqian Street, but also many temporary stalls, including those who sell various fruits, peaches, and noodles and buns. But the closest place to Li Ling is, a stall to write for others, who is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and kind.

Because he looked so harmless, Lin Lie and his friends ignored this side when they subconsciously protected Li Ling. But at this moment, the weak scholar suddenly stepped out from behind the table. With his hands turned around, a short sword with a flash of cold light appeared. While rushing to Li Ling, the knife was already stabbing his chest with a scream!

This assassination was completely beyond everyone's expectations. When the opponent rushed over, Lin Lie turned around and Li Ling's body stiffened. When the knife reached his face, he hurriedly reacted, raised his arms to resist, and retreated.

But it was too late. Lin Lie and others had only time to yell, but it was too late to pounce.

With a puff, the knife had pierced into Li Ling's arm, and the scholar quickly drew the knife after a grim smile and stabbed Li Ling in the chest!

Then his hand was held by a big hand beside him, twisted his backhand, and heard a rattle, his arm was broken, and then the scholar was pressed horizontally to the ground in a scream. It was not until this time that everyone was surprised to find that the person who rescued Li Ling was not the person from the county yard, but the man who had been following the young man. Even Lin Lie did not notice how he flashed to Li Ling and helped him block the fatal blow...

"... Lang..." It was not until this time that the young man Wan Lang reported his name, and then he was completely stunned. He watched the person he was looking for fell down like blood and was hurriedly held by everyone around him. Then more officers ran out of the yamen like crazy, not only holding the murderer who was still shouting and tied up, but also being surrounded by the yamen's constables, and they were very irresistible.
