Chapter 143 Something Happened to the Ye Family
Wei Jingyi arrived when it was almost dark.
He saw Lu Changqing's dusty appearance and showed a look of disgust.
Lu Changqing also asked disdainfully: "Why are you here at this time? Are you here to eat for free again?"
When Wei Jingyi heard this, he turned around and pretended to leave.
"There's news from the Ye family, so I wanted to tell you as soon as possible. If you don't want to know, forget it."
Lu Changqing stretched out his hand to stop him.
"what news?"
Wei Jingyi then sat down, his expression serious, "The Ye family is all dead."
"died?"
This time, not only Lu Changqing was surprised, even Xiao Huaian, who was passing by the two of them, stopped.
"What happened to the Ye family?"
Ye Xinran also came over.
Wei Jingyi then told everyone what he had found out.
It turned out that someone went to the county government yesterday to report that a human hand was found on Xiujin Mountain, five miles away from the county seat.
When the county magistrate heard the news, he immediately sent Captain Li to investigate.
Captain Li led his men to the place where the human hands were found. They discovered that the ground had partially sunk, exposing part of the body.
After the person was dug out, everyone was stunned.
Because they know this person!
It turned out to be Zou, who was sent to jail by them not long ago.
There was a scar on the back of Zou's head caused by a blunt object, and it was obvious that he was killed by someone else!
Captain Li asked his men to bring Zou's body back to the county government office, while he himself took two people to the Ye family.
Judging from the stiffness of the body, he must have been dead for more than three days.
The eldest lady of the Ye family died outside, but the Ye family did not make any movement. This was very unusual.
He suspected that it was Zou's family, namely Ye Dacheng, who did it.
But after arriving at the Ye family, Captain Li found that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
Because the servants of the Ye family said that their master and mistress had taken the young lady out five days ago.
"Did they say where they were going?" Captain Li asked.
"No, I didn't say that!"
The butler realized that the situation was not good and answered haltingly.
"The master went out without telling us. We were only responsible for cleaning, so we really don't know where the master and his wife went!"
Captain Li frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart, and said to his men, "Take them all back!"
All the servants of the Ye family were in a panic, not knowing what was going on.
While shouting that they were wronged and abused, the yamen runners tied their hands, tied them into a long string, and took them back to the yamen.
After Captain Li brought the man back, he briefly explained the matter to the county magistrate.
Then he took his men to Xiujin Mountain.
Since the Ye family left together, the other two were most likely killed as well.
Captain Li asked the detectives to stand in a row and stretched a long line to lay a net for inspection on this side of the mountain.
As he checked, he prayed in his heart.
I hope the bodies of Ye Dacheng and his daughter are not on this mountain.
If the whole family was killed, the case would become more difficult to investigate.
As a result, when people are unlucky, the more they fear something, the more it will happen.
After an afternoon of investigation, the detectives indeed found another burial site on the mountain.
The body was dug out. Constable Li had also seen this person before. She was Zou's daughter Ye Xinyao.
Constable Li was overwhelmed.
Such a major murder case occurred in the area under his jurisdiction. If he cannot solve the case as soon as possible, he will lose all hope of promotion in his life.
Recalling the Chinese New Year, his wife reminded him to wear red socks and step on the villains, he refused with disdain.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely put on ten pairs of red socks and step on all those villains who committed crimes.
The public security in Yuntong County has always been good.
Now that such a big thing has happened, I wonder who was so quick-witted that the news leaked out.
The next day, almost everyone in the county knew that the Ye family was in trouble.
The wealthy families were all worried about the dangers of bandits infiltrating the county town, and the Ye family was targeted because they showed off their wealth.
When the distant relatives of the Ye family heard the news, they quickly surrounded the Ye family.
There is no one left in the Ye family now. Although Ye Dacheng’s body has not been found, he is definitely in great danger.
The only one who was still alive, Ye Xinran, got married again.
Then all the property left by Ye Dacheng would belong to these uncles and brothers.
In order to get a bigger share, several brothers argued endlessly and even went to the point of exposing each other's shortcomings.
"That's the situation."
After Wei Jingyi finished speaking, he looked up at Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian.
"They said that the only living daughter of the Ye family is Doctor Ye, right?"
Ye Xinran nodded with a serious expression.
Although she also hated Ye Dacheng's family, she never expected that things would turn out like this.
"Doctor Ye. Excuse me for being frank."
Wei Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "If the murderer is targeting the Ye family, you should also be careful."
"Don't talk nonsense. My sister has already severed ties with the Ye family."
Although he said this, Lu Changqing's expression was very worried.
This Ye family is really haunting.
Why should they involve their sister in the matter they caused themselves?
"That being said, Doctor Ye is from the Ye family after all. Even if the county magistrate interrogates a case in the future, they will ask Doctor Ye about it."
"It's fine."
Ye Xinran comforted others.
"I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Even if the county magistrate finds out about me, I've been growing ice spirit flowers at home these days. I have evidence, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"It's best if nothing happens!"
Lu Changqing said worriedly, "Why don't you and I go live with my aunt. The Wei family has many servants, so it's definitely safer than here."
"No need for that. Right now the situation is not clear, so it's better not to involve more people."
Ye Xinran refused, "However, you should go back to live with Madam Leng for the next few days."
"No, I will stay here to protect you until the murderer is caught."
Lu Changqing also refused.
"You're such a sickly person!" Ye Xinran laughed, "If something happens, I'm afraid I'll have to protect you instead of you protecting me!"
"But……"
Lu Changqing wanted to say something else.
Then Xiao Huaian said, "Don't worry, I will protect Xinran's safety."
"Yes, yes, yes. Master Xiao is very powerful. He can beat eight people by himself. He is more useful than both of us. We should not make trouble here!"
Wei Jingyi also advised.
Lu Changqing knew that he really couldn't help, so he had to agree.
He decided that after he returned, he would go to the county town to find a martial arts troupe and find two of the best fighters in the troupe to come here to protect his sister.
Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran also had to be on high alert.
After seeing off Wei Jingyi and Lu Changqing, Xiao Huaian immediately set up several traps in the courtyard and told Ye Xinran that she must be accompanied by him when she goes out in the future.
Just as Wei Jingyi expected, the next day, someone from the county government came to take Ye Xinran to the government office for questioning.
