Chapter 174
Cases of missing persons
Daliang, Jiangzhou.
An old woman holding a six-year-old child in her hand sat at the gate of the yamen and slapped the ground, crying in pain with her face full of pain.
"My lord, my lord, someone has reported the crime again. ”
At this moment, Hu Wenlin, the prefect of Jiangzhou, was sitting there thinking about something with a sad face, and when he heard that someone had reported another case, he quickly got up and asked, "What is the case?"
"It's still a case of missing people. ”
Hu Wenlin slapped his hand on the table: "Uncle, who did this!"
"My lord, this is the eighteenth report of a missing person, and it's only been eight days. ”
Hu Wenlin paced back and forth: "I know, you go down and take them to register first." ”
"My lord, there are two other people who have come to our yamen every day to cry and cry since they reported the crime, and they can't get rid of them. The official looked helpless.
"Didn't you say that we were investigating the case day and night, and we would let them know as soon as we got the news. Hu Wenlin looked irritable.
"We all said what you wanted, but they just won't leave!"
"Okay, okay, take me to see!" Hu Wenlin had no choice but to come to the yamen, he knew very well in his heart that if the trouble continued like this, the people's mouths would not know what tricks would come out.
There were already a lot of people around the yamen, and the old woman was still crying there, and the children around her were also crying twice, stopping for a while and then continuing to cry a few times.
"Don't cry, don't cry, we, Lord Hu, have come to see you. As he spoke, the servant prepared to go up and pick up the old woman and the child.
When the old woman saw Master Hu coming out, she hurriedly rushed to his feet and hugged Hu Wenlin's feet and said loudly: "My lord, help me, you must help us find people, this has been missing for seven days." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm sending someone to find it every day, and there will be news soon. Hu Wenlin bent down to help the old woman up, and explained loudly, for fear that the onlookers would not hear.
"Every time you say this, children have no parents, and they make trouble every day! Please, my lord, help us get it back!" the old woman did not mean to get up.
"Master Hu, do you have any clues? We've heard that a lot of people have been missing recently! It's all spread, and we're all scared. An onlooker began to ask.
"That's right, people were panicked all day, and I heard that the monsters in the mountains caught and ate it. I don't know which people started to tell the rumors.
"I've also heard that this monster in the mountains likes to eat the hearts and livers of couples under the age of thirty, so every time I come to arrest someone, it is a couple. ”
Listening to the rumors and discussions of the people, Hu Wenlin hurriedly asked the officials to tear the old woman away from her feet, and then signaled the people at the scene to be quiet.
"Where are the monsters in this mountain, I have sent someone to check, they are all rumors. ”
"Then why do these disappeared couples not see anyone alive or dead?"
This question made Hu Wenlin speechless. He scratched the back of his head and was silent for a moment: "I must have met human traffickers, I will definitely catch them." ”
"My lord, my lord, I have a clue!" a servant ran over panting.
"What clue?" Hu Wenlin suddenly became excited.
"Go and see a dry well outside the city gate!" the official turned a little pale, as if he had been frightened by something.
"Let's see, there's a clue here. I'll check it out first, everyone is waiting for my good news. Hu Wenlin hurriedly took the servants and hurried towards the city gate.
"Let's go, let's go and see!" The common people also scrambled to follow.
The old woman hurriedly put away her mourning face and followed with the child in her arms.
In a dry well outside the gate of Jiangzhou, the officials have used ropes to isolate the mouth of the well.
As soon as Hu Wenlin approached, a servant rushed over with his mouth covered, and then squatted there and began to vomit frantically.
"What's wrong with you? You haven't woken up from drinking last night?" Hu Wenlin asked in a reprimanding tone.
"No, Hu, Lord Hu, I really can't stand it. Go see for yourself!" The official began to vomit again.
Hu Wenlin looked at the people behind him: "You stop them all, don't get too close." ”
"Your Excellency, you'd better cover your mouth first!" another official came from the mouth of the well, and immediately covered his mouth, and ran to the side and began to vomit.
"Is it so powerful?" Hu Wenlin thought that he had experienced a lot, and this kind of scene should be no problem, he did not cover his mouth, but puffed up his chest and came to the wellhead very arrogantly.
A foul smell came to his nose, Hu Wenlin endured it and did not cover his mouth, but the officials who came with him covered their mouths one after another.
"My lord, they are all in the dry well, and we have servants who have gone down to pull them, and they are about to come out. The official covered his mouth and nose and said.
"Then wait and take a look, I, I'll go to the other side. Hu Wenlin quickly walked out of the area around the wellhead, and then began to breathe heavily, it turned out that he had been holding his breath just now.
"My lord, come out. After the servant finished speaking, he covered his mouth again and vomited to the side.
Hu Wenlin took a deep breath, then came to the dry well, and looked at it, a rotting corpse was placed there, maggots crawled all over the body, but there was no head, and the stench was extremely incomparable. Hu Wenlin was holding his hands behind his back, and he was just about to speak, but he felt nauseous in his heart, so he quickly turned around and ran to the side, opened his mouth wide and vomited wildly.
Soon, the stench dissipated, and the surrounding people covered their mouths and noses, and many people vomited directly on the spot.
"Let me do the autopsy, I'll go and see if there are any other clues. Hu Wenlin couldn't stand it, so he had to find an excuse to leave.
The other officials had already set up a simple shed ten zhang away from the mouth of the well, and Hu Wenlin walked in and sat down with his ass, so that he dared to breathe heavily.
"My lord, drink tea. "The one who delivered the tea was its doorman, Fang Deshan.
"When did you find out?" Hu Wenlin took a sip and instantly felt a lot more comfortable.
"A foreigner who came to drive cattle and sheep found this dry well and wanted to draw some water from it to feed the cattle and sheep. When he noticed that the well was stinking, he tied a rope and went down to inspect it, and found the corpses. I'm still vomiting over there at this moment!" Fang Deshan pointed to a person in the distance who was still squatting on the ground and vomiting.
"I've vomited long enough!" Hu Wenlin teased casually.
"I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden, we need to hurry, it seems that it is the people who have disappeared in the last few days. Fang Deshan reminded on the side.
At this moment, he walked towards this side with a plate carrying a bloody thing.
When Hu Wenlin saw it, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't bring it, just say it there!"
