In the Yang family's house, Lin Ming was talking with the county government chief when he saw Pei Wuyan entering with a group of people and stepped forward to greet him.

Pei Wuyan glanced around and said, "The government officials have stopped searching. Could it be that they have found it?"

Only then did Yu Qingfeng notice that there were only four or five government officials in the front yard, all of whom were standing quietly and making no move to search, and all of these people had solemn expressions.

Sure enough it was too late.

Lin Ming frowned, his face was bitter, and he sighed in the affirmative.

"It turns out that what Miss Yu asked me to find was the seventeenth corpse. Alas, it's in the backyard."

Pei Wuyan did not dare to look back at Fang and his wife, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lead the way."

A few people just raised their feet when they heard a roar outside the gate.

"Let me in! I am responsible for this case, and I personally led people to search the Yang family. You come to search with great fanfare. This is not giving me face. If you don't give me face, you are not giving Mr. Fang face! Let me Open, let me in!"

Judging from this voice and momentum, I am an old acquaintance.

Several people looked for fame and turned out to be Shen Yuxia. He even brought Shen Moli with him.

"Let them in." Pei Wuyan ordered the guard to let them go.

Shen Yuxia aggressively pushed away the blocking guards and walked in with swaying arms.

"Captain Shen hasn't returned yet? That's right. It must be Mr. Fang's intention to let you stay and report the news in time, so that he can respond in time. Presumably the prefect doesn't have much confidence that the original verdict of this case can be upheld. .”

When Yu Qingfeng saw Shen Yuxia, her wrists hurt and her teeth itched with hatred.

Now that he's here, now that he's reached this moment, and now that his master can't save himself, there's no need to coddle and beat him up for a loser who's about to become a lost dog!

Yu Qingfeng pretended to be suddenly enlightened again, her expression was exaggerated, but she was also polite and had a nice smile.

"Oh, I understand. The prefect is not confident. He is worried that the case will be overturned. He killed the wrong person and Dali Temple will hold him accountable. Then he will definitely need a dog to bear most of the blame for him. It is best to have one run over by himself. The mad dogs in Dali Temple have been offended by their barking and biting. No, I have sent you here."

"You damn girl, how dare you say something rude and offend the prefect?"

Shen Yuxia's eyes shot out like hungry wolves in the night, and he was about to pounce again.

"Shen Captou has misunderstood. Heaven and earth can serve as a lesson. I did not offend the prefect."

Yu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, didn't Shen Yuxia understand the words? It was him she had offended.

Shen Yuxia's eyes were red, his fists clenched loudly, and he wanted to tear Yu Qingfeng's hands into pieces right away.

Pei Wuyan coughed slightly and stood between Shen Yuxia and Yu Qingfeng.

"What a mouthful you are." Pei Wuyan scolded Yu Qingfeng in a low voice.

Yu Qingfeng shrugged and responded in a low voice: "I can't help it. I have an old problem. If I don't spit it out quickly, I will suffocate to death."

Pei Wuyan smiled helplessly and whispered in a low voice, "Sooner or later I will be killed by your unrepentant mouth."

Yu Qingfeng suddenly felt warm in her heart. That's right, that's it. Pei Wuyan, the male protagonist, has already been controlled by her.

Pei Wuyan was still polite when facing Shen Yuxia.

"Captain Shen, I have said before that when the case is concluded, the rude offenders will be punished. The case will be concluded tonight. I am true to my word and have prepared the instruments of punishment. So, you Came just in time.”

The corners of Shen Yuxia's mouth twitched, he swallowed, looked left and right, and changed the topic.

"Master Pei, the entire Yang family was searched by the county government immediately after the incident. I also led people to search to ensure that nothing was missing. Half a month later, Master Pei went to great lengths to bring people here again. , could it be that you just want to go through the motions?"

Pei Wuyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Yuxia and turned to Lin Ming, "Go to the backyard and take Chief Shen to see what he missed."

Lin Ming glared at Shen Yuxia fiercely, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Yu Qingfeng deliberately lagged a few steps behind and walked alongside the Fangs and his wife.

The couple is still full of doubts, and they still have no idea why they are in the Yang family, and how the murder case is related to the disappearance case of Fang Yingqiu.

Until now, they have never thought about the worst aspect, not knowing what kind of tragic scene they are about to face.

"Mrs. Fang..." Yu Qingfeng struggled to open her mouth and wanted to say something, but she hesitated and didn't know what to say.

The housewife raised her confused eyes and looked at Yu Qingfeng, as if she was a little afraid of Yu Qingfeng, a girl with a sharp tongue, and waited for her next words with trepidation.

Yu Qingfeng's lips twitched and her nose felt sour. In the end, she ran away and ran a few steps to catch up with Pei Wuyan.

The backyard of the Yang family was quite large, and was used as a brewing workshop. It was still in the same miserable state as when the massacre occurred, and was in a mess.

"Captain Shen, look, is this backyard different from when you came to search?" Lin Ming asked coldly.

Shen Yuxia quickly glanced around and replied impatiently: "There is no difference."

Lin Ming walked to the stone well in the corner, pointed to the well and the black stone slab next to it and asked, "Where is this place?"

Ishii!

Yu Qingfeng's heart felt as if someone had squeezed it with a fist and it hurt.

Shouldn't it be a secret room? She asked Lin Ming to search before, hoping to find a secret room hidden in the house or underground, a wine cellar, or the like.

How could it be a well? Is the entrance to the secret room a stone well?

Shen Yuxia tilted his head to think back and said vaguely: "Maybe, maybe there are some differences. But so what? Could it be that Mr. Lin found the physical evidence left by the criminal Liang Lei underground?"

"Physical evidence? Humph."

Lin Ming glared at Shen Yuxia, gritted his back molars, and pointed at the stone slabs next to the stone well and the debris piled in front of the house not far away.

"The stone slab originally covered the stone well and weighed dozens of kilograms, but there are many wear marks on the top and bottom of the black stone slab, indicating that someone moved it frequently."

"So what?" Shen Yuxia retorted habitually.

"If it is a water well, why is the wellhead covered with stone slabs? If it is a dry well, and children are worried about falling, so it is covered with stone slabs, and why is it often moved to allow the stone slabs to rub against the well and leave marks?"

Shen Yuxia disagreed and waved his hand impatiently, "What does this have to do with the case?"

"There are also these debris beside the stone well. There are also rubbed hemp ropes, wooden barrels, and contact slates. What can Mr. Shen think of?"

Lin Ming grabbed the hemp rope on the side and threw it in front of Shen Yuxia.

Shen Yuxia kicked away the rope that fell under his feet with great disdain.

"Why do you, Mr. Lin, always care about these details that have nothing to do with the case? Is this the way Dali Temple handles cases? Or, are you unwilling to return without success and insist on finding out every detail to make a big fuss?"

"Minute details? Okay, then please let Mr. Shen enter the house and take a look at what we found in the stone well - minutiae."

Lin Ming pushed open the wooden door of the house next to the stone well, and the candlelight inside instantly projected out. The light and shadow swayed on the ground, indicating that someone was moving in the room.

Shen Yuxia subconsciously took a step back.

"Don't be afraid of Mr. Shen. There are not ghosts here, but the county government's widow doing an autopsy." Lin Ming motioned Shen Yuxia in with his eyes.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of evil spirits should I be afraid of? I have a clear conscience, so what do I have to fear?"

Shen Yuxia took two steps toward the open wooden door, then suddenly stopped, "What did you say? Autopsy? What kind of autopsy?"

"The seventeenth corpse."

Lin Ming made a "please" gesture, signaling Shen Yuxia to face the body and the evidence of his careless mistake.

Shen Yuxia couldn't believe it and strode into the house.

Everyone heard a loud cry of surprise, and then Shen Yuxia, who screamed in surprise, jumped out quickly.

Yu Qingfeng's heart sank again. The corpse was so tragic that even Shen Yuxia, the head catcher, was so frightened?

"Here, who is this corpse? There are sixteen members of the Yang family, no more, no less. There are also sixteen corpses. Their faces and identities have all been verified..."

Shen Yuxia was interrupted by retching mid-sentence.

Lin Ming didn't know who the seventeenth corpse was, so he walked towards Yu Qingfeng, took out an object from his arms and stuffed it into Yu Qingfeng's hands.

"Miss Yu, I am as good as my word. I have found... the secret... it's a secret room. Next, I'll leave it to you."

Yu Qingfeng lowered her head sadly and looked at the things in her hands.

It was a shiny bead, as big as an egg, glowing with faint fluorescence in the night.
