Su Huai naturally saw the scene in front of him and was extremely shocked.
The first thing he did after he reacted was to rush into the house.
There was no one.
There was no one.
Still no one!
Su Huai rushed into three houses in a row and did not find any traces of anyone. However, the mess was obviously caused by force, and there were obvious scratches on the corners of the table and the wall. They were cut by sharp weapons.
"Old Ma, this place is extremely strange. We should be careful tonight and make plans tomorrow morning.”Su bad frowned and arranged.
There were obvious signs of a fight in the house, but there was no corpse in the village. It was really strange.
There were roughly sixty to seventy people in Xiaohai Village. Most of them made a living by forging iron. There was only one restaurant and inn in the village, which was located in the center of the village.
Usually, merchants, ore traders, or Jianghu friends who wanted to buy weapons would come to this small village for a night.
"We'll set up camp at the inn in the village and start investigating at dawn.”
Su Huai and Old Ma came to the inn. The tables and chairs on the first floor were neatly arranged without any signs of damage. Even the teacups on the table were faintly covered in a layer of dust under the moonlight.
Su bad looked around for a moment, moved a bench, held a gun in his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.
Old Ma also moved a bench and rested at the side.
Four hours later, the sky turned bright.
The appearance of Xiaohai Village gradually became more realistic, and the shape was outlined in the darkness.
Su Huai suddenly opened his eyes and woke up Old Ma, who had a tired face, and said,"Old Ma, we're starting the investigation. You go to the second floor and see if there's anything unusual. I'll take a look on the first floor.”
Old Ma nodded and went upstairs with his saber.
Su Hao was nonchalant on the first floor. He looked around the kitchen, then looked around the wine cellar. Finally, he stood at the counter where the shopkeeper usually paid.
Casually pulling open the drawer, Bad Su's eyes suddenly lit up. Because there was a wooden tray under the account book in the drawer. There was a day's worth of silver on the tray. There was a total of ten taels!
Ten taels of silver, to Su Huai, who earned five taels of silver a month, was simply a timely rain.
However, Su Wicked was more than happy.
With a faint smile, Su Huai kept the silver in his pocket. And that smile was rather meaningful.
Su Huai closed the drawer and pushed the door open. Sunlight shone into the room, illuminating the dim room. Even that darkness and decay was swept away.
"Old Ma, I'm going out to take a look.”Su bad shouted to the old horse upstairs.”Su Huai walked out of the house.
Su Huai's search was very regular. He started from the place where he entered the village last night, one household at a time.
This investigation took an entire morning.
At noon, Su Huai and Old Ma met up again at the inn.
"Did you find any clues?" Bad Su asked.
Old Ma shook his head and handed Su Huai a beef patty and a kettle.
The two of them sprinkled a handful of white powder on the beef patties and water before eating. They stuck them on the patties and sniffed them before eating in peace.
The white powder was also a unique medicinal powder of the Divine Constable Sect. As long as it was sprinkled on food or water, if the food or water was poisoned or drugged, the powder would emit a unique smell.
Therefore, every time they went out on a mission, everyone had to carry a small bag with them. After all, they had to be careful when they went out on missions.
They were not only wary of the danger of the mission itself, but also of the poison and ambush that would wait for an opportunity in the dark.
After eating, Su Huai went to check the rest of the place without stopping.
The afternoon sun shone on the ground, shining on this empty and silent place.
Su Huai walked through all the rooms and then came to an empty square on the east side of the village. This had always been the place where the village chief gathered the villagers for meetings. Sometimes, it was also the place where lion dances and big shows were held. Su Huai stared blankly at the ground that had been pressed down and frowned.
"Old Ma, get me two shovels."
Bad Su pressed his hand on the ground, his brows deepening.
"Inspector Su, what happened here?" Old Ma found two shovels and handed one to Bad Su.
"Here, dig!" Su Huai pointed at his feet and took the lead to shovel the soil.
"What did Inspector Su find?"
Su bad stared at the ground and asked,"Although it has been filled up and compressed again, this impression is still a little too deliberate.”
"Do you still remember the heavy rain a few days ago?”Bad Su asked.
Old Ma nodded and suddenly realized,"Too deliberate!"”
Su Huai didn't say anything and just nodded.
The two layers of soil were completely different in color. The topmost layer of soil was compact, but the soil below was already a little loose and damp.
Old Ma didn't say anything else and the two of them buried their heads in work.
After two hours, half of the square had been dug up. Su Huai and Old Ma had stopped digging because they could not continue digging.
The villagers 'clothes and even their hands, which were beginning to rot and stiffen, were all over the place.
Su Huai could tell that they were all buried alive and were still struggling.
Su Huai's hands were trembling, trembling!
