Chapter 543: Body found in dry well

Mrs. Hou insisted on going to see it by herself, but the nanny beside her could only help her over, and Liu Yunxiang followed behind.

When he arrived at the back garden and went to the southwest corner, Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu standing there from a distance, with several servants surrounding him, holding sticks, kitchen knives, and bricks.

After walking over, Mrs. Hou gasped and asked, "Which family's maid are you?"

Yan Mu was dressed as a maid, but he was tall and his shoulders were wide, which made people feel uncomfortable. At this time, he faced the southwest corner, and there was a well in front of him, and he was looking inside.

However, he ignored Mrs. Hou’s question, but instead bent down and looked inside. There was a big stone next to it, which must be on the well, and he moved it away.

Although Liu Yunxiang was embarrassed, she had to stand up, "Madam, I brought him."

Mrs. Hou frowned, "Princess, what do you mean?"

"He is actually..."

"There are corpses in the well!"

Liu Yunxiang's words were interrupted by Yan Mu, and as soon as he said this, he was shocked everywhere.

A servant's hand holding a brick trembled, his face looking ugly, obviously remembering the murder of his maid Nian'er in this backyard not long ago.

"This well... this well is deserted and is not used on weekdays. How do you know there are... corpses under it?"

"Just as soon as I came over, I saw a dog yelling around it. When I moved the stone away, a stench rushed up. The government was looking for another corpse. She was most likely killed in your farm, so I guess there was a human body here, which might have been broken and one arm was missing." Yan Mu said calmly, but the person was so scared that he stepped back.

Mrs. Hou was also scared and leaned against the nanny next to her weakly, "This is just your guess..."

"I'll know if you want to go down and explore." Yan Mu said and turned around.

Mrs. Hou saw his face clearly and was shocked again, "You are... King of Zhenbei!"

Yan Mu nodded, "Madam, I will not let the government go to the government to search. I am unable to do so, so I will make you laugh."

Mrs. Hou frowned and looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "Princess, you..."

Liu Yunxiang sighed: "I think my wife also wants to tell the truth about Nian'er and another victim, and find the murderer."

Mrs. Hou took a deep breath, turned her head aside, and said coldly: "A cat and a dog may have died in the well. It will never be a human body. The princess and the prince. Please leave my farm quickly!"

"Madam Hou, I just need to ask someone to go down and check..."

“No need!”

Mrs. Hou was originally gentle, but now she was firm and indifferent. "Since you two refuse to leave, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, she winked at the nanny beside her, and the nanny called the servants beside her to drive them out.

Yan Mu hugged his shoulders with his hands, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's related to two murders, but the wife insisted on not letting us investigate. Are you covering up the murderer?"

"You, don't slander my wife!"

"Whether it is a slander or not, as the Minister of Justice, I have found suspicious points in your village today, so I must investigate. Whoever wants to stop me, I will ask her to sit in the Ministry of Justice's Prison!"

Seeing Yan Mu's attitude like this, Mrs. Hou's feet became soft and her face turned extremely pale.

When he came, Yan Mu told Da Hei that he took out the flute from his sleeve bag and blew it hard. Da Hei and his officers rushed in quickly.

"Sir, have you noticed it?" Dahei asked.

Yan Mu pointed to the dry well in the southwest corner and said, "Send two people down to check it out."

The two officials were killed by the big black, and the two were ordered to start preparing.

"You trespassed into my village, I...I want to go into the palace to sue you!" Mrs. Hou shouted angrily.

Yan Mu sneered, "Madam, I will go and sue you. I feel that I am not wrong to investigate the case."

"you!"

Liu Yunxiang was afraid that Yan Mu would make the Marquis's wife angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and apologized: "Madam, we are wrong, don't be angry. But the official mission has come, so why not check it out. It's very windy here, why don't you go back to the house first."

Mrs. Hou's face turned blue, "The two are powerful, how dare the ministers and wives not stay with you."

Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. After paying so many good things, Mrs. Hou still looked aggressive and her good temper was worn out.

At this time, there was a movement from below, and a officials shouted: "Sir, there is indeed a female corpse below, and it is missing the left arm. It is exactly what we are looking for."

"The body has begun to decay and has been dead for some days."

Yan Mu looked at Mrs. Hou again and raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, I obviously guessed it right. This is not a corpse of a cat or a dog. What do you think next?"

Mrs. Hou closed her eyes, looking like she couldn't breathe.

"The wife dared not do anything."

"Okay, then carry the body up first!"

Dahei and several officials helped, and soon lifted the corpse up. The corpse had already started to rot and the stinking smelled. The servants on the village retreated one after another.

Fortunately, the corpse was only missing one arm, and it was not like the one that was dismembered before.

Liu Yunxiang also covered her lips and nose with a veil, and was afraid to look over there.

"The body is dressed as a maid. Everyone in your village comes to see if you recognize it." Yan Mu said.

He said, but no one stepped forward and hid backwards. He shouted again, and these people walked forward with a tough bullet.

The first one was the housekeeper, and he recognized it at a glance, "Isn't this... not Lanxiang?"

As soon as he said this, the others hurriedly came up to see it, and everyone nodded.

"It's Lanxiang!"

"Yes, it's her!"

Dahei asked: "Who is Lanxiang?"

"Lanxiang is our sixth girl's personal maid!" said the housekeeper.

"Six Girls?"

"Yes, we thought she disappeared with Miss Six, so why did she die here?"

"How could Lan Xiang be here...Si Fu...she..." Mrs. Hou thought of something, her eyes widened, her body trembled, and suddenly fainted the next moment.

"lady!"

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly asked Zijin to help send Mrs. Hou back to the yard, and also told her that she could go find Qu Moran to see Mrs. Hou.

Yan Mu first checked the body, then circled the well several times, thinking while turning.

"The official from Jingzhao Mansion has searched the well. The well is not a secret, it should have been investigated. In other words, the body was later thrown into the well, just like the broken arm was buried in the mountains and forests later." Yan Mu analyzed.

Dahei learned two tricks from the coroner, and briefly checked the body and said: "From the neatness of the wound on the broken arm, the arm was cut off after the death of the deceased. The previous skin contracted and the wound bloomed, and it was cut off before the deceased's lifetime, which was a torture killing. If we infer from this, the situations of the two at that time were different, and they might not be the same murderer."

Yan Mu had already thought of what Da Hei said, and even he thought of who the murderer was.

He looked at Liu Yunxiang, and Liu Yunxiang immediately thought of it after listening to Dahei's analysis. When the two looked at each other, they knew that the other party had also thought of it.

The murderer is most likely to be the Red Candle!

"This person must be a master. His sword skills are extremely accurate. He hits the key points with one sword. The victim dies quickly and does not suffer much pain." Dahei said again.

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, and it should be the red candle.

But Hongzhu was seriously injured at that time. Obviously, this little maid had no ability to hurt her. Who could it be?

No, there is someone who can hurt her!
