Wei Zhong, Wei Qi's father, was Wei Taibao's nephew, claimed to have seen the murderer, and described the murderer's appearance to Cheng Bingcao and two lieutenants of Tingweisi.

The old man is only 60 years old this year, he is not deaf, his eyes are not blurred, and he speaks clearly, so his testimony is very critical.

With his newly promoted official position, Yuan Zhan was fortunate enough to listen to him and hear a little difference.

According to the old man's description, the murderer was indeed a woman, and she was very close to Yang Yan in terms of height, shape, appearance, etc., and even said that she was Yang Yan, but there was one thing that the old man saw with his own eyes. This is different from Yang Yan.

If Yuan Zhan hadn't witnessed the murder with his own eyes, to be honest, he would have regarded it as Yang Yan.

But judging from the old man's tone and demeanor, he didn't seem to be lying, so there is only one possibility. The woman he saw was indeed the murderer of Wei Qi's family, but not Yang Yan who killed Wei Qi.

It's just that why did the murderer take off the gauze covering his face and let the old man see it on purpose? Isn't this implication too obvious?

The answer is also very clear, which is to blame Yang Yan.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhan asked: "Old man, when did you see the murderer, did he just come, or is he leaving after the murder?"

The old man said: "Let's go. The old man moved slowly. He only got up when he heard the movement over there. Just as he was about to open the door to go out, he saw her coming out of the back room and took off the black veil covering her face. She thought she was a family member after killing someone." There is no one else, and only then did he reveal his true face carelessly."

Yuan Zhan hummed, thinking that this possibility was too small, but he didn't ask further.

The officer of Tingwei Temple said: "Master Wei, if you call the painter, can you describe the appearance of the murderer?"

The old man said: "Yes."

The lieutenant hummed, and ordered Cheng Bingcao to invite a painter.

Cheng Bingcao agreed and went.

In the following time, Yuan Zhan focused the inspection on Wei Qi's cause of death and the sword injury, and ordered Feng Laosan to find out the damage to his viscera no matter what method he thought of.

Although Feng Laosan was reluctant, but the official rank was overwhelming, so he had to lower his head and examine seriously.

Not too long ago, Cheng Bingcao came back with the painter from Xiaowei's Mansion, and began to describe the appearance of the murderer according to the old man's description.

Yuan Zhan came to take a look after a while.

With the painter's brush strokes, the image of a slender woman appeared vividly on the paper, with lifelike eyebrows, mouth and nose, and at first glance, she was exactly the same as Yang Yan.

After Wei Zhong confirmed it, the lieutenant of Tingwei Temple took the portrait and returned to the mansion to return his orders.

Sending away the two lieutenants, Cheng Bingcao let out a sigh of relief, and ordered Yuan Zhan and the others to speed up, check the ones that haven't been inspected quickly, and start copying the files after the inspection, and strive to end it as soon as possible.

After another hour, the work of inspection and recording was finally completed.

Because the people in the Taibao Mansion did not agree to take away the corpse and asked them to keep it, Cheng Bing and Cao Le were relieved, and after a few words, they left with Yuan Zhan and others.

After returning to the Captain's Mansion, he arranged the rest of the work and went home by himself.

When Yuan Zhan saw it, he took a small piece of silver and asked Feng Laosan to invite a few brothers to have a drink. They were busy in the middle of the night, and he had to reward him, but he himself said that he had something to do at home, so he went back first. home.

When he came to the entrance of the alley and just turned in, he suddenly felt a movement and found that someone was following him.

These are two masters. They had been hiding around here until they saw him walking into the alley. They moved a little bit and were discovered by Yuan Zhan in danger.

Yuan Zhan's thoughts turned sharply, and with a movement of his divine sense, the Southern Ghost quietly flew out before him, and went straight to the small courtyard.

Yuan Zhan then slowed down his pace, took two steps and stopped, pretending to be in thought, and after a while, he came to the small courtyard.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind behind him, and two people floated down in front of him, one on the left and the other on the right, whispering: "Wait a minute!"

Yuan Zhan pretended to be surprised, turned around slowly, looked at both sides, and exclaimed in surprise: "My lord? You...why are you here?"

These two people are exactly the two lieutenants of Tingwei Temple.

One of them had a gloomy face and said gloomily, "Wu Zuo, you harbored the murderer who killed General Wei Qiwei, what can you say?"

Yuan Zhan stared at him with his mouth open for a long time before saying, "I harbored a murderer, but there is evidence."

The lieutenant snorted, stepped forward and kicked the door open.

With the sound of kicking the door, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed out from the darkness, some on the wall and some on the roof, and surrounded Yuan Zhan's entire courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Zhan watched them coldly, and admired them in his heart. They were well-trained on weekdays. Once they heard the order, they would follow the steps and perform their own responsibilities without leakage.

Chanyu opened the door when she heard the movement, she exclaimed when she saw the situation, and shouted: "Sir, what's going on, what happened?"

Yuan Zhan smiled, and regardless of the way the two lieutenants looked at him, he walked slowly into the courtyard, comforting her in a calm voice: "It's okay, Tingwei Temple is investigating the case, and we just need to cooperate with them."

Chanyu let out an oh, but didn't make another sound, just leaned close to his side, showing a very scared look.

The two lieutenants came in, waved their hands, and shouted: "Search carefully for me."

Another group of officers and soldiers rushed in from the outside and began to search the rooms one by one.

Yuan Zhan saw it, and quickly shouted: "Be careful, don't damage my things. Otherwise, I don't care who sent you..."

As he spoke, he looked at the two lieutenants and snorted softly from his nostrils.

The faces of the two lieutenants are really not very good-looking. I didn't expect to investigate a case and was threatened by a lowly official in the school lieutenant's mansion. I wanted to threaten him with a voice, but I didn't care at all when I saw his eyes. Didn't take them seriously.

So, the words came to his lips and were swallowed back.

I muttered in my heart, this kid doesn't have any special relationship, doesn't he even pay attention to Tingwei Temple?

"Ok!"

Another lieutenant saw that something was wrong, cleared his throat, and shouted: "We just investigate the case, don't break things, and be gentle."

Some of the officers and soldiers had already kicked the door open with a bang, and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Then he became cautious and light-footed, and moved gently when entering the house, for fear that he would damage the owner's things and would not be able to pay for it.

Yuan Zhan said again: "Chanyu, go make two cups of fragrant tea, please sit down and talk."

Chanyu hummed and went to the kitchen.

Yuan Zhan pointed to the stone table next to the pavilion, and said, "My lords, don't stand still, please sit down!"

The lieutenant who spoke just now was more tactful, upon hearing the words he pulled his companion, came to sit down under the pavilion, then smoothed things over and said: "Brother Yuan, don't take offense, my two brothers were ordered to investigate the case, and they didn't intend to target you. "

Yuan Zhan nodded and said, "Although I'm a petty official, I'm still a member of the public family. I can tell which is more important. I just don't understand. Why did you become a suspect in the blink of an eye?"

The lieutenant and the officer looked at each other, and the same person replied, "This...we don't know, we all followed the orders from above, and it is inconvenient to say something to you."

Yuan Zhan snorted and didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Chanyu brought tea.

Another lieutenant stared at Chanyu twice, frowned and said, "This girl, she looks familiar."

As he spoke, he took out a portrait from his bosom, which was the image of the female killer copied from the description of the previous artist Neweizhong.

The smooth lieutenant looked at Chanyu, leaned over to take a look, shook his head, and said: "Although the figure is a bit similar, this girl is obviously three points shorter, and her face shape is not right."

The lieutenant took one more look on purpose, and said, "Oh, that's right, maybe I missed it."

At this time, the first group of officers and soldiers who searched came to report, but they did not find it.

Then the second group and the third group also came over, but nothing was found.

The tactful lieutenant chuckled and said something meaningful: "Brother Yuan, have you offended someone?"
