The official pointed at Zheng Jun and others behind him, with a helpless expression on his face.

The so-called Capt. Cao realized something. He immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully: "I wonder who these adults are?"

"This is Zheng Baihu from the Divine Catcher Division."

At this time, Chen Baiming acted as the introduction brother. He explained: "The person behind him is Xue Qianhu, Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division."

When had Catcher Cao ever seen such a big character? He immediately apologized with an embarrassed smile and said, "It turns out they are the masters of the Capital Catcher Division. The younger one's name is Cao Zide."

At this time, Xue Mu had already stepped forward.

He looked at the middle-aged head catcher and asked, "Did a murder happen here?"

"Indeed." Cao Zide immediately explained: "Two bodies were found beside the grass of the river. It is initially judged that they were drowned."

After he finished speaking, he was also observing the situation of Xue Mu and others.

In fact, he was also puzzled.

You know, it took less than a stick of incense to report the discovery of the body.

Why are people from the capital already rushing over?

But naturally he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He could only test in a low voice: "Sir, do you want me to take you to see the body?"

Xue Mu nodded.

Cao Zide immediately acted as a vanguard. He walked in front and introduced enthusiastically: "I am the policeman of our Nanhua County."

"Well, I've heard it. They called you Cao Baotou." Xue Mu responded.

Cao Zide also showed off his modesty: "Actually, he has been a catcher for a few more years than them, so he can't be called a head catcher."

Xue Mu didn't say much.

He asked Zheng Jun: "Zheng Baihu, look at the condition of the body."

"Yes, sir."

Zheng Jun immediately squatted down and began to observe.

Since Xue Mu couldn't see clearly the appearance of the corpse, he could only ask Cao Zide: "Captain Cao, are these dead people sure to be Zhang Baisheng and his wife?"

"It should be." Cao Zide nodded.

Xue Mu turned around and shouted: "Who is Zhang Baisheng's neighbor?"

The crowd immediately became a little more restless.

But no one seems to dare to stand up.

Xue Mu knew that these people were worried about causing unnecessary trouble.

So he explained: "Now I need people who know Zhang Baisheng to come over and ask about the body. Neighbors who know Zhang Baisheng come over. If they answer, I will reward them with a piece of silver."

Upon hearing this, several women and old men also came out one after another.

Rather than walking out, it's better to walk quickly.

They patted their chests and kept explaining: "I am a neighbor of Zhang Baisheng's family."

"Me, me too."

Xue Mu was not surprised by this. He asked: "Now go and see the body to see if it is Zhang Baisheng?"

"good."

One of the women immediately held up her skirt and was the first to rush forward. When she saw the body, she was so frightened that she screamed: "Ahh!!!"

She quickly backed away and covered her eyes with her hands.

Xue Mu asked at this time: "Are they Zhang Baisheng and his wife?"

"I, I was too scared, I didn't see clearly."

"Then you have no money left."

"I'll watch it again."

After saying that, the woman looked back again.

This time, she nodded and affirmed: "Yes, they are the couple."

"Are you sure you're right?"

"Sure."

Xue Mu then asked the others: "If you dare to see the body, then go and identify it."

The remaining three people stepped forward immediately.

Although they are afraid in their hearts.

But the temptation brought by a piece of silver is even greater.

Eventually they all finished looking at the body.

Since he died not long ago, his appearance has not changed much.

So everyone who saw it nodded and replied: "Yes, it's Zhang Baisheng and his wife."

After hearing this, Xue Mu took out a small bag of silver, handed it to Chen Baiming and said, "Give this to them."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Cao Zide didn't expect that handling the case would cost two cents.

But this method is indeed very fast.

The identity of the deceased was immediately confirmed.

Then, Xue Mu looked at Cao Zide again and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"We plan to send these two corpses back to the Yamen for examination. If they accidentally fell into the water and drowned, the case will be closed." Cao Zide naturally had one answer when facing a thousand households of Xue Mu's level.

Xue Mu replied: "We will investigate this case together with your Yamen, so the body can be handed over to our Detective Division for examination."

"Ah?" Cao Zide was a little embarrassed for a moment.

You know, before he came, the county magistrate reminded him that if there was a murder case, the body would be sent back to the Yamen immediately.

But now someone is coming to snatch the body.

This moment made him a little overwhelmed.

Xue Mu was not idle during this process. He began to ask about the four neighbors.

They had just received silver. You must know that this was the first time in their lives that they had received silver from the government.

Xue Mu asked them: "Yesterday, did you notice anything wrong? For example, there were unfamiliar people or strange people wandering around Zhang Baisheng's house."

The four neighbors thought about it carefully, then shook their heads and said, "We go out early and come back late every day, and rarely pay attention to these things."

"Then when did you find out that Zhang Baisheng was not at home?" Xue Mu asked.

"It was about noon yesterday. At that time, I was wondering why the couple didn't come to farm so late. Later, when I got home, I knocked on the door and found no one inside, so I left."

The woman among them explained.

After hearing this, Xue Mu thought for a while. Just when he wanted to ask more questions, an alternative voice came from not far away.

"Master Huang."

"Master Huang."

A group of detectives immediately raised their hands and shouted respectfully.

At the same time, a middle-aged man surrounded by three or four people was coming quickly with a frown on his face.

When he saw Cao Zide, he immediately asked: "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to take the body back to the Yamen?"

Cao Zide was a little embarrassed, so he reminded in a low voice: "Sir, the people from the Divine Catcher Division are here."

When County Magistrate Huang saw the people behind Cao Zide, he was startled. He quickly asked, "Who are these?"

Chen Baiming made another introduction.

When County Magistrate Huang heard that the person who came was the Chief Inspector, and that one was from Baihu and the other was from Qianhu, there was obviously some fear on his face.

But he still pretended to be calm and said: "It turns out they are Zheng Baihu and Xue Qianhu. Your subordinate, Huang Haigui, has met several adults."

"Magistrate Huang, I have long admired you." Xue Mu was polite at first.

At this time, Huang Haigui carefully probed: "Several adults came here. I apologize for not taking good care of you. I wonder if the adults happened to be passing by here, encountered this case, and wanted to help.

"

Xue Mu said: "It's like this. We happened to pass by this place and found that there were officers and soldiers surrounding us. So we came up to take a look and found that there was a murder. Although the body was purple, it was probably drowned."

"But I think there may be something fishy about this case, so I plan to work with your county to solve the case."

After Huang Haigui heard this, he was a little surprised. He could only smile awkwardly: "This is just a drowning case. It doesn't require a few adults to worry about it."
