Chapter 34 Promise
Qixia Town Yamen

A large number of people stood around the door with haggard faces, but they still refused to leave.

Lou Zhixian stood at the gate of the county government office, helping the people non-stop, and was very busy.

At the same time, in front of all the common people, he loudly reprimanded Yan Xiaoliu, wishing Wushuang and other arrests to be ineffective.

Yan Xiaoliu and the others were also sweating profusely, they didn't dare to speak back when they stopped the people who wanted to rush up.

Looking at the angry crowd, Xia Yan sighed softly in his heart.

This incident has aroused public outrage, if it cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

It is a small matter to lose an official, and I am afraid that I will lose my life.

Lou Zhixian looked at Xia Yan who was standing in the distance wearing the flying fish suit, and immediately said: "Jin Yiwei is also here to assist in the investigation, and we will definitely find out."

"Don't worry, we will help you find your child."

When the people surrounding the yamen heard this, they immediately surrounded them.

Yan Xiaoliu and the others were all relieved.

Lou Zhixian looked at Xia Yan who was pulled and dragged by the common people, although he felt that he did not behave properly, but the truth is that dead friends never die poor people.

Of course he doesn't care.

Xia Yan looked at the people around him, and he didn't want to hurt them, so he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please listen to me."

A sound like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening sounded, making the surrounding people quiet down.

"Jin Yiwei has sent people to investigate this matter, and we will give you an answer within seven days."

"But I'm new here, and I need to check the files to investigate the case faster."

Xia Yan thought about it, and felt that seven days was enough to investigate the results.

If they can't be found within seven days, I'm afraid those children will never be found again.

When the people heard Xia Yan's assurance, they were all silent, but they had some hope in their hearts.

"My lord can really guarantee that we will find our child within seven days." The leader of the people said.

"I'm a hundred householder of Fuzhou Jinyi Guards. If I can't find it, I will demote myself to three ranks." Xia Yan said firmly.

All the common people, you look at me, I look at you, and understand Xia Yan's sincerity.

At least compared with Louzhi County's boastful talk.They believed in Xia Yan even more.

Everyone present said in unison: "Thank you, sir."

Xia Yan walked forward, and wherever he passed, the people gave way one after another.

"Xia Yan, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, came to investigate the disappearance of children in Qixia Town. Please provide me with the case file from the magistrate of Qixia Town."

Louzhi County also heard about the case of Jin Jiuling from the Six Doors.

Jin Yiwei knocked down all six doors in Fuzhou in one fell swoop, shaking the entire Fuzhou officialdom.

The name Xia Yan is also famous in the officialdom.

"It turned out to be Xia Baihu. Xia Baihu cracked the case of the embroidered thief and became famous far and wide."

"But the case in Qixia Town is very difficult. If Xia Baihu can't solve the case, we will all be implicated."

Xia Yan smiled and said: "Jin Yiwei has taken over the case, so Jin Yiwei will naturally bear the responsibility."

"But the ugly words are up front. The credit for solving the case is naturally also given to Jin Yiwei."

This conversation made the common people feel more at ease, and they trusted Xia Yan even more.

Lou Zhixian was overjoyed.

This case is too big, the prefect of Fuzhou has issued a death order to let him solve the case as soon as possible.

He is now worrying about how to get rid of this hot potato in his hand.

Isn't this dozing off, did someone send you a pillow?

"Then I will hand over this case to Lord Xia."

Xia Yan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I am not familiar with Qixia Town, I need Zhu Wushuang to assist me."

"I object, Wushuang is my subordinate, I do not agree."

Yan Xiaoliu knew that Xia Yan was playing with Zhu Wushuang, and he didn't want them to have too much contact.

If Zhu Wushuang was kidnapped, where would he find such a good subordinate?

"Yan Xiaoliu, when will you be able to speak here?"

Lou Zhixian yelled angrily, making Yan Xiaoliu shrink back.

Comparing Xia Yan and Yan Xiaoliuyi, Zhu Wushuang immediately understood the strengths and weaknesses of the two, and became more and more excited about Xia Yan's solicitation. .

"Wushuang, Xia Baihu is new here, take him to look up the last file."

Lou Zhixian had a friendly face and felt that Xia Yan had a crush on Zhu Wushuang.

After all, he also had this idea at the beginning. If he was not afraid of a fire in the backyard, he might have already put it into action.

Zhu Wushuang was flattered, he didn't expect Lou Zhi County to be so kind.

"Yes, Lou Zhi County."

"Master Xia, please follow me."

Zhu Wushuang walked forward, Xia Yan quickly followed.

The two walked all the way and came to the place where the Yamen released the case.

Zhu Wushuang pointed to the hundreds of case files on the table by the window, and said with a smile, "Xia Baihu, this is the case file that came to report recently."

Xia Yan nodded slightly, walked to the table and sat down, picked up a case file and read it.

Zhang Youde, a resident of Qili Street, Qixia Town, had a son, Zhang Kui, who disappeared from his home in mid-April, the first year of Zhengde, and has not returned to this day. '

Li Quan, a commoner in the backstreets of Qixia Town, had a daughter, Li Lan, who disappeared at the door of his house in mid-April, the first year of Zhengde, and has not returned so far. '

"Lai San, a commoner in Qianjie, Qixia Town, has a son, Lai Puppy, who disappeared at the door of his house in the middle and late April of the first year of Zhengde, and has not returned until now. '

'..."

Xia Yan checked the report records one by one, and by the time they finished reading them all, it was already sunset.

But the case file only recorded information about the missing children.

As for the record of visiting the child's home after the disappearance, there is no record at all.

No one investigated this, or it was intentional.

"Wushuang, haven't you visited the victim?"

Zhu Wushuang was bored and was dozing off, when he heard the voice, he stood up immediately, "I didn't sleep."

Xia Yan shook his head helplessly, and asked again what he had just said.

Zhu Wushuang blushed and replied: "We have interviewed the victims, but their stories are basically the same."

"They all said they hadn't seen any strangers, and they didn't notice how the child disappeared."

"We haven't been able to find any useful clues in the past two days, and Lou Zhi County will be furious."

Xia Yan frowned slightly, these cases totaled one hundred and one volumes.

Qixia Town is neither big nor small.

If someone loses a child at home, everyone will definitely take care of the child at home.

It is precisely in such a situation that someone can steal the child without anyone noticing.

Could these people fly into the sky and escape from the ground?

"Come on, follow me to the victim's house."

"Lord Xia, it's getting dark now, I'm afraid we can't find any clues." Zhu Wushuang persuaded.

Xia Yan shook his head, and said lightly: "You can't find clues during the day, but it doesn't mean you can't find them at night."

Fully half of the children in the file disappeared when they were ugly.

The time of ugliness happens to be the time when people sleep most soundly.

If these teeth can know this, they must be repeat offenders.

But this kind of habitual offender would definitely go to one place and set off a cannon, but he even stole the children of [-] households in Qixia Town.

This is the most unreasonable place.

Putting his right hand on the handle of the knife, Xia Yan walked straight out, and said as he walked, "Is there only three roads in Qixia Town, Front Street, Back Street and Qili Street?"

"Huh!" Zhu Wushuang said in surprise, "Master Xia, how did you know that?"

Xia Yan pointed to the case file, and said calmly: "Qixia Town is not too big or small. Leaving the sons of servants in the dead family, there are about four or five hundred households."

"Front Street, Back Street, and Qili Street appear again and again in this case file. Anyone who is interested can detect the distribution of Qixia Town."

Zhu Wushuang suddenly realized, "Master Xia, you are really smart."

Xia Yan didn't answer, but walked firmly to the gate of the yamen.

Because he never thought he was smart, he just had a gift from another world.

"Lord Xia, wait for me." Zhu Wushuang followed immediately.
