On the other end, after entertaining the servants, Master Qiao turned around and went to the study.

The county magistrate who was waiting in the study saw him coming in and immediately asked, "Brother Qiao, how are you doing? Is there any news about Zhou Huaiming?"

"No, there was nothing left but the pool of blood on the bank.

By the way, wasn't he also poisoned? Could it be that he died in the river? " Master Qiao shook his head.

"Impossible. The other corpses have been salvaged, and he is the only one missing. If he is really dead, he should have surfaced or washed to the shore."

"Could it be entangled by aquatic plants, or blocked by something?"

After hearing this, the county magistrate looked at him thoughtfully and said: "That's the best, you call some good men to go into the water tomorrow and salvage it again.

I'll check around with the yamen servants to see if I can find any clues. "

"Little brother, make arrangements now."

"Remember to check carefully, whether it is life or death, we must be sure and controlled, otherwise we will all die."

"clear."

"Then I'll be back now." After the county magistrate finished speaking, he turned and left the study room, and then left Qiao's mansion through the nearest side door and hurried to the county seat.

In the next two days, the husband and wife will mainly make tofu at home as usual.

In addition to taking care of Mr. Zhou, Gu Chengrui just stewed some porridge to nourish Qi and blood from time to time. Besides they drank it, sometimes he would send some to Father Gu and the others.

All of a sudden, the popularity of their husband and wife in the village gradually increased.

On the other hand, Master Qiao went to the room in a hurry, with blisters in his mouth.

Seeing all the yamen servants return empty-handed again this day, and their attitudes became more and more impatient, his anger also grew steadily.

But he also knew clearly that now is not the time to get angry, so he greeted everyone and asked after dinner: "Masters, is there anything unusual when you go out to search for people these days, everyone think about it carefully." think."

"An unusual place?" the head catcher asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's what feels strange, otherwise a living person can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

After hearing this, Catcher Li looked at the servants and said, "Brothers, think about it carefully, and think about what is wrong."

As soon as his words fell, everyone really counted the things that went wrong recently, or things that didn't go well.

Why are there too many dogs in that village, and they can't hide their whereabouts at all.

The village lost its clothes.

Which family in that village has posted recently, etc., all kinds of news are all over the place.

Master Qiao's head was getting bigger after hearing it, but he didn't find any useful news.

The leader who went to Gu Chengrui's house before said: "There is one thing that I find suspicious, but I can't find anything wrong with it."

"If you have something to say, let's judge together." Li Butou said.

"When we notified and investigated the doctors in the village on the first day, we met more than a dozen people at the home of Doctor Gu in Shanghe Village.

At that time, they said that they were discussing about buying a boat in the clan.

But when we entered the house, we found that there was tea and various snacks in the house, and it didn't seem like a conversation.

So I was wondering if they got the letter in advance, so they waited there specially. "

"Get the letter in advance? Impossible, we basically acted together that day." Catcher Li said uncertainly.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Master Qiao. After all, he was the only one in this town who got the letter in advance.

Master Qiao was extremely annoyed by his distrustful eyes staring at him, but he quickly remembered his previous order, turned around, found Qiao Mu and asked, "Before I told you to take advantage of the search to trouble Gu Chengrui, you ordered me to go on." ?"
