Capítulo 1735: Chapter 1735: Homicide Case
A major murder case occurred, and the first step was to report it to the authorities. However, with several officials from the War Prince’s Mansion here, the village head dared not act, intending to leave everything to the officials from the War Prince’s Mansion.
Long Rui glanced at the panicked village head and instructed him to take Long Yi to report the case to the County Yan.
A major murder case happened in Chen Family Village, and it involved two lives. As the village head of Chen Family Village, he was naturally terrified.
Moreover, he had always thought that the Fan family’s Lao Er and Lao San, just as Xiao Yu said, had gone to the town for work. Who knew they had never left Chen Family Village but instead t their demise horribly in their own ho, with their bodies hidden inside a tree trunk.
Upon hearing Long Yi’s order, the village head imdiately took Long Yi to the County Yan.
The two rode horses, and in less than two hours, they arrived at the County Yan.
Since Long Yi was holding a Token, their journey was smooth without any obstruction, and they quickly t the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was a middle-aged man around fifty, slightly plump, with an air of righteousness. Knowing Long Yi was from the War Prince’s Mansion, he dared not waste a mont and imdiately led his n to Chen Family Village.
Upon seeing the two heavily decomposed bodies of the Fan family, the county magistrate frowned deeply. Murder with body concealnt, especially hiding them in a tree trunk, was sothing never heard of before. Such a serious case was a first in their jurisdiction.
The county magistrate, experienced in handling cases, directly pointed the bla at Xiao Yu.
Without even starting the interrogation, he ordered Xiao Yu to be given twenty strokes, making Xiao Yu scream in agony.
The county magistrate, wary of Long Rui and his group, dared not neglect the case. He imdiately held a court session in the courtyard.
The Governnt Officials brought over a table for the county magistrate to use during the hearing. Several benches were placed on either side for the officials from the Capital to sit on and listen to the trial.
A major murder case surfaced in Chen Family Village, and the villagers who were supposed to begin spring plowing didn’t go to the fields. They rushed over to watch the commotion. Additionally, upon hearing that blood had sohow seeped from the Fan family’s Huge Locust Tree, many villagers were both shocked and frightened, speculating whether a monster had appeared in their village.
Xuexue, hearing these rumors, frowned deeply and walked over to the Huge Locust Tree to examine it carefully.
Upon seeing bloodstains on the treetop leaves mixed with a few chicken feathers, she understood what had happened and calmly returned to her seat.
Long Rui quietly asked, “Dear, did you find anything?”
Xuexue also quietly replied, “Yes.”
“What?”
Xuexue leaned closer to his ear and murmured a few words.
Upon hearing her, Long Rui’s eyes subtly scanned the surrounding villagers.
Seeing Auntie Chen among them, with a tall man beside her looking extrely nervous.
Long Rui quickly retracted his gaze and subtly gestured to Long Yi behind him.
Long Yi understood, stepped forward imdiately, and bent down to ask quietly, “Young Master, what are your orders?”
Long Rui leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Long Yi nodded as he listened and then exited the courtyard.
The county magistrate wore a stern expression, sitting in the center of the table, with an Advisor-like person standing behind him, holding a notebook and a pen.
At this mont, the coroner had finished examining the bodies and ca over, handing a notebook to the county magistrate: “Sir, this is the complete autopsy process for your review.”
“Hmm, how were the results?” The county magistrate opened the notebook as he asked.
“Both victims were drunk and then fatally struck on the head with a sharp weapon, with the skulls almost entirely shattered. The thod was extrely cruel.”
