  Chapter 38 Breaking into the door

  Sun Xiancheng ran over aggressively, and the officer was so intimidating that the two maids panicked and hid by the door.

  Chu Nanzhi felt joy in her heart.

   But Sun Xiancheng ran to the gate of the courtyard and stopped suddenly.

  Hesitating for a moment, he turned around abruptly, looked at the two maids, and asked gently and politely:

   "You two ladies, where are the keys?"

   "The key is naturally in the hands of the mistress and the lady. If the adults want to enter, the servants and maidservants must ask the mistress and the lady."

   "Fuck you."

  Sun Xiancheng raised his foot, gathered all the grievances and injustices he had suffered for more than fifty years under his feet, and kicked towards the door with all his might.

   "Boom."

  The sound was crisp, and the courtyard door fell down, leaving only the two door frames hanging on the edge of the wall.

  The faces of the two maids were ashen, their faces were cloudy and uncertain for a while, and suddenly they rushed out of the courtyard in a panic.

  Sun Xiancheng stared at Chu Nanzhi full of expectation, and his heroic aura was vividly displayed at this moment:

   "Miss Chu, I can hand over my wealth and life to you today. You just go in, and I will take care of everything that happens."

  Chu Nanzhi was both surprised and moved, and led the Four Treasures to run in hastily, and behind him came the voice of Sun County Prime Minister Zunzun:

   "Miss Chu, hurry up, people will be here in a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand alone."

  Chu Nanzhi also knew in her heart that if she didn't find the body as soon as possible, what awaited her would be obstacles and endless abuse.

   But she couldn't find the body, and she had no reliable basis to convince everyone.

  She stopped and looked around in the yard. The yard was frighteningly large, surrounded by lush vegetation and flowers, and she didn't have a clue for a while.

  She wanted to look for the smell of rotten corpses, but the yard was filled with the smell of acetic acid and bamboo leaves, and there was no trace at all.

   Pulling Sibao, she first told the little guy:

   "Four Treasures, I'll take you around inside, but you have to promise me that you must never touch other people's things. If something is damaged, I won't be able to afford it."

  Sibao nodded obediently.

  Chu Nanzhi felt relieved and led Sibao into the back room together.

  From the living room of the main house to the bedroom, and then to the side rooms next door, everything was cleaned up, and there was no place to hide the corpse.

  After that, I searched again in every corner and thick walls, but found no hidden places like dark cabinets.

  Xiao Sibao saw the bad woman looking around, and didn't know what she was looking for, so he tilted his head and said with emotion:

   "It's so clean that you can't hide anything."

  Chu Nanzhi also had the same idea at this time.

  Thinking about it carefully, even if the rotten smell of the corpse can be covered up, the oil that can be secreted cannot be covered up.

   I'm afraid he's not in the house.

  She took Sibao and ran out of the house again, only to see Zhao Erlang rushing in with hatred on his face.

  Sun Xiancheng followed behind him earnestly persuading:

   "Zhao Erlang, this officer is ordered to investigate the case, so don't make trouble."

   "Follow the decree, whose decree you obey, even if you obey the decree, you shouldn't trample on the lintel of my house at will."

  Zhao Erlang was furious, pointed at Chu Nanzhi and cursed: "Get out, this is my grandmother's yard, and you dare to break into it recklessly."

  Chu Nanzhi saw that this person was always sneaking around, so he was very suspicious.

   I don't know if it is a coincidence.

  She went to Xiao Langjun's courtyard, and this man stopped at the gate of that side courtyard;

   And when she came to this yard, this person followed her again.

She resolutely probed and said: "The magistrate and I suspected that your younger brother was murdered, so we came here to investigate and broke the lintel of your house. It is indeed a bit inappropriate, but it just makes uncle love his son. We also hope that we can do it as soon as possible." Find out the case and give everyone an explanation."

   "Murder?"

  Zhao Erlang was filled with righteous indignation and was so angry that he said, "You woman, don't talk nonsense, who has the guts to murder my younger brother Yan."

  After thinking for a while, he added: "Moreover, brother Yan is extremely intelligent and kind, who can bear such a cruel hand."

  His expression was very calm, without revealing the slightest flaw.

  Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "There were no bandits making trouble, and no enemies harming each other. How could a good-looking living person just disappear out of thin air in the mansion."

  After hearing this, Zhao Erlang's eyes suddenly became empty, and he was speechless for a moment.

  Chu Nanzhi ignored him and continued to look around in the yard.

  Extending from the foot to every corner, weeds are overgrown everywhere, a green scene full of vitality, and there is no trace of turning over, which can exclude the behavior of digging and burying.

  She looked around again, and saw that there was still a green space at the corner of the house, and scattered around the grass were some withered leaves that had been deposited for many years.

   And there, it seems that it is not the end of the small courtyard, there is a wide open space.

   Just as he was about to turn the corner, Zhao Erlang suddenly shouted from behind:

   "It's just a dry well over there. It hasn't been used for many years since my grandmother passed away, and it's already overgrown with weeds."

  Hearing the dry well, Chu Nanzhi ran over more resolutely.

   Just getting there, she was disappointed.

   At a glance, although there is a high uplift a few meters away in the grass, it really looks like an ancient well.

  But when I looked closely, the well was surrounded by weeds, and there was a manhole cover on it. The vegetation was dense and the green moss was faint, and it didn't look like it had been turned over by anyone.

   Did not leave a trace of suspiciousness.

   After carefully checking the surroundings under her feet, she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​hiding the corpse in the well.

  Because from the place where you stand to the edge of the well, the green grass is surrounded by tall and straight, connected in an orderly manner, and there is not even a trace of damage.

  If a corpse is to be thrown into a well, even the weight of two people should leave some traces of crushing.

   Moreover, the footprints should still be deep.

  Even if it is carefully concealed, there should always be a little bit of flaws.

   Turning around resentfully, wherever his eyes could see, Grandpa Zhao had already led his wife and Magistrate Hu, striding towards this direction angrily.

  Little Four Treasures calmly acted as if nothing had happened, and prepared to step on the grass to pick a yellow flower that fell from a tree not far away.

  Chu Nanzhi pulled back the little Sibao, and reprimanded softly: "Sibao, don't mess with other people's things."

  Little Sibao stared at the beautiful flowers with his mouth shriveled in a daze.

  Chu Nanzhi saw that the crowd was approaching, she inadvertently glanced at her feet, and saw that the grass that Sibao had stepped on just now gradually straightened back.

  Chu Nanzhi's heart shuddered, and he went to observe the same grass everywhere, but found something wrong.

   Before she could think about it, the woman's crying and cursing sounded in her ears:

"My lord, look, these servants don't look like servants at all. It's nothing more than wantonly breaking into the back house, and now they kicked the mother's courtyard door. What kind of mind do they have? Yan'er is alive and dead. It’s unknown, they came here deliberately to make trouble for the house.”

  Old Mrs. Zhao was also in a state of distress at this time. Hearing the woman's cry, he became even more annoyed. He pointed at Chu Nanzhi, and without any patience, he cursed:

   "You wicked woman, where did you come to investigate the case? You obviously brought a little baby to play with the old man, avenging Hu Maoxi's personal revenge and embarrassing the old man."

  Hu Maoxi's face tightened with fright, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized:

   "Don't be angry, don't be angry. There must be a reason for this matter. When the next official investigates it clearly, he will definitely give the grandfather a satisfactory explanation."

   Then glared at Chu Nanzhi with a sullen face, but first turned the resentment in his heart to Sun Xiancheng.

  Because, this old man was so bold as to kick someone's door without telling him.
