Personally Going Out!

According to Yang Yi's orders, the next day was dark.

Wu Song brought 20 people and appeared at the entrance of the county office, waiting for Yang Yi to set off for Hanlong Village.

Yang Yi did not sleep in. He thought that the case was very strange and challenging.

He also woke up early and brought the coroner, the registrar, and the others to the crime scene.

Public security was under the jurisdiction of the chief registrar. Yang Yi naturally would not let Liu Fulai, the old fox, have it easy. If there was a murder in the county, he would naturally be involved.

If they couldn't find anything, Liu Fulai would be the one to blame. He wouldn't take responsibility.

When Yang Yi and the others set off, there was still more than two hours before daybreak.

He led Wu Song, Liu Fulai, the coroner, and the others into the night and headed toward Hanlong Village.

This time, he did not ride a sedan chair, but rode a horse instead.

As the top scorer, he definitely knew how to ride a horse. Otherwise, how could he paraded through the streets to receive praise from the people?

After four hours of traveling.

At daybreak, Yang Yi led a group of people from the county government and finally arrived at Hanlong Village.

When he appeared, he saw that the scene was surrounded by villagers.

"I, Wang Dacai, pay my respects to the county magistrate.”

Yang Yi's group was large in number. When they arrived at Han Long Village, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

A man in his fifties hurried forward and bowed to Yang Yi as a greeting to the yamen.

"Sir, this is the local chief. He is responsible for guarding the crime scene.”

Seeing Yang Yi sizing up Wang Dacai, Wu Song hurriedly went forward to remind him.

Upon hearing that this person was a chief, Yang Yi nodded and sized him up again.

According to the rules,

In Yanggu County, only the county magistrate, county deputy, chief clerk, and county lieutenant were considered officials. The rest were all officials.

Wang Dacai called himself a minor official, which was in line with his identity.

"Take me to the crime scene first!"

Yang Yi didn't respond to Wang Dacai's name.

Yang Yi was not happy that a murder had happened here, so he would not be nice to Wang Dacai.

Immediately, his expression turned cold as he spoke.

"Yes, sir! This way, please."

Wang Dacai's heart skipped a beat when he noticed that the county magistrate, Yang Yi, did not look too good. He was hanging in the air in fear.

He hurriedly and respectfully led Yang Yi to the crime scene.

The place was not far, just in the open space in front of the village entrance.

"The county magistrate is here. I wonder if the truth will be revealed.”

"Can you do it at such a young age? Could it be that the son of a high-ranking official came down to be gilded?”

"Don't say that! I heard that this county magistrate is very powerful. He quickly solved two suspicious cases. He should have real strength.”

"All of you stand outside the circle. Don't hinder the county magistrate from investigating the case.”

Wu Song ignored everyone's discussion and took the lead to run over to maintain order.

Originally, he wanted to investigate the case himself and take the credit.

However, when he thought about the case of human life, he decided to let Yang Yi handle it instead of making his own decisions.

"All of you, get lost. What are you all doing here?”

Compared to Wu Song politely persuading everyone to leave, Wang Dacai was much more boorish and directly drove them away.

His style was rough and his attitude was extremely bad.

Yang Yi, who was standing at the side, was not very satisfied. He decided to find time to gather these people and teach them well.

He didn't care what happened in other places, but in Yanggu County, this kind of thing was not allowed to happen again.

"Wang Dacai, you're driving me away with such mean words.”

When Liu Fulai heard that there was a murder case, he did not have a good impression of Wang Dacai either.

One or two was fine, but if there were too many murders.

He would definitely be taken down during the year-end assessment of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs. Liu Fulai attached great importance to his official position.

At the same time, he was also trying to curry favor with Yang Yi.

He did not think that he could solve the murder case. He still had to let the handsome young man who had just arrived come out to have a chance of getting to the bottom of it.

"Understood!"

Wang Dacai realized that Yang Yi and Liu Fulai were expressionless. He was shocked and quickly put away his rough actions and became friendly.

After clearing out the crowd, Yang Yi and the others approached the carriage.

He realized that although the carriage was a little old, it was still clean.

The horse was also in high spirits and stood still.

Next to the carriage was an old man with disheveled hair. He was chained to the carriage. He was looking at Yang Yi and the others nervously, and he did not look very energetic.

There was a pile of hay beside it.

Under the dry grass, there must be a corpse.

"Who discovered the case first?"

After checking the scene, Yang Yi officially tried the case.

He decided to listen to the situation first before considering his next move.

"Milord, this old man realized that something was wrong, so he shouted for help.”

As the suspect, the coachman thought that Liu Fulai was the county magistrate and saw that the first person to speak was a youth.

The older magistrate stood behind the young man obediently, and the coachman hurriedly replied.

His heart turned cold.

His thoughts were similar to many people. Did he think that Yang Yi was just someone with connections? Most likely, he would not be able to find out his grievances. He would not be able to escape this time.

"Who heard him calling for help?”

Yang Yi continued to ask after seeing the coachman take the initiative.

The case was very complicated and needed to be solved step by step.

"Milord, it's these villagers.”

Wang Dacai, who was standing at the side, finally got the opportunity to reply hurriedly.

Then, he pointed out that the few people beside him were the first villagers to know about the case.

"Fellow villagers, tell me the details of the situation at that time.”

Seeing that there were a total of five people, Yang Yi appeared very amiable. The five villagers felt less nervous and had a good impression of Yang Yi.

"Yes, sir! Old Master, it's like this…"

Among the five, a white-haired old man was more courageous. Under the gazes of hundreds of people, he immediately explained the matter in detail.

Yang Yi did not ask the coachman first because he was afraid that he would lie.

A moment later, Yang Yi finally confirmed that there was a murder.

"What's your name? Where do you live? He explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail.”

Since the other party took the initiative to report the case, Yang Yi's attitude towards such people was better.

After asking expressionlessly, he stood at the side and waited for the coachman to answer.

"Reporting…reporting to Master, I'm the county's horsekeeper, Kong Qingxiang. There are a few policemen here who know me, you can verify it.”

Seeing that Yang Yi was doing things reasonably, the coachman named Kong Qingxiang felt slightly relieved and hurriedly revealed his identity.

Hearing that he knew a few bailiffs, Yang Yi immediately looked at Wu Song.

A moment later, Wu Song whispered into Yang Yi's ear.

"So he lives in the city. When did you get the business? Where did you get the business?"

After verifying his identity, Yang Yi began to inquire about the case.

Before asking this question, he had already activated his divine-level observation ability to prevent the old man from lying.

"Milord, I received a business on my way back from overseas the day before yesterday afternoon.”

The old man called Kong Qinxiang twisted his body uncomfortably and replied weakly.

"Taking business halfway? He explained the details in detail and could not miss any details.”

Yang Yi continued to ask after realizing that the other party was not lying.

"Your…Your Excellency, it's like this…"
