They knocked on the gate of the courtyard, but there was no response .

“Is he not home?”
“No, he should be at home at this time,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
“Who is it?” A voice came from a room . It sounded stuffy .
“It is I, Qingfeng . ”
“Wait a moment . ” The voice in the room sounded out again .
After they had waited for a while, they heard footsteps .
With a creak, the door opened . The person who opened the door was a tall and sturdy man . He had thick eyebrows and a dark face . He looked at Yang Guanfeng and the others with a cold gaze .
“Qingshan, what are you so busy with, opening the door after such a long time?”
“What can I do for you?” Miao Qingshan asked without answering .
“Ah…” Yang Guanfeng was just about to speak when Miao Qingfeng, who was beside him, tugged him .
“It’s like this, Brother Qingshan, something has happened in the stockade today . A man has died . ”
“That has nothing to do with me!” Miao Qingfeng’s words were interrupted before he could finish speaking . He had been interrupted rudely .
“There’s a clue outside pointing to your yard . Can we come in and have a look?”
“Clue? What clue?” Miao Qingshan’s tone was obviously colder .
It was a bit hostile .
Yang Guanfeng felt a strong sense of hostility and rejection from him .
“Well, these two are forensic experts from the province . ” Miao Qingfeng pointed to the two of them .
“People from outside?”
Yang Guanfeng realized that the people in the stockade were interesting . It seemed that their name for outsiders was “people from outside . ”
“Yes, I hope you can cooperate with us . ”

“When has the stockade been so polite to people from outside?” Miao Qingshan asked .
“Someone has died in the village . They are here to investigate the case . Let us go in and have a look . This is what the chief wants . ” Miao Qingfeng’s ton had also changed .
Upon hearing that it was what the chief wanted, Miao Qingshan’s expression had an obvious change . He reluctantly made way for them .
Yang Guanfeng thought, It seems Chief Miao’s authority in this stockade is unusually high!
The three of them went into the yard .
Woof! Woof! Woof! A medium-sized dog barked . It gave off a ferocious aura .
Yang Guanfeng carefully searched the small yard . The only evidence he could find were traces of blood left by the man while he had been running and the muscle fibers and skin tissue dropped along the way . This was quite a test of a person’s experience and level of meticulousness . If there were police dogs onsite, the work would be easier . Although he did not have a police dog’s keen sense of smell, Yang Guanfeng still managed to discover some clues . He could now confirm that the dead “outsider” had been there .
“Have you had any strangers come here recently?”
“Yes, you two . ”
“What about people other than us?”
“There were no more . ”
“Are you sure?”
“I am sure . ”
“Have you been in the house all day today?”
“Yes . ”
Yang Guanfeng stared carefully at the man, whose gaze seemed a little cold .
“What is the matter, Captain Yang?”
“That man has been here before,” Yang Guanfeng said .
“What? Are you sure about that?”
“I’m sure . You can take the tissue debris on the ground back for a DNA comparison . It will be the same as the DNA of the deceased . ”

The man looked down at the almost invisible debris on the ground . His eyes grew colder .
“Brother Qingshan, is what he said true?” Miao Qingfeng’s expression had changed . “This kind of thing can’t be joked about . ”
Miao Qingshan did not speak .
“Things have gotten troublesome,” Miao Qingfeng softly said .
“Let us go . ”
“What?” Yang Guanfeng was stunned . The biggest suspect was standing in front of them . What they needed to do next was enter his room and search for more suspicious clues . If they were to leave, it was equivalent to giving him the chance to destroy clues and evidence .
“Let’s go over there and talk . ”
Miao Qingfeng half dragged him to the outside of the yard .
“This man is very suspicious . I want to go into his room and have a look . If we leave now and let him go, he will probably destroy the traces left . ”
“Are you sure about this?”
“What are you worried about?”
“There is something special about this man’s identity . ”
“Special? How special can it be? Does he have a gold medal for avoiding death?” Yang Guanfeng angrily asked .
“He is the grandson of the last chief . ”
“What about that?”
“You don’t know how much authority the last chief of this stockade had . ”
“All I know is that he is now an important suspect,” Yang Guanfeng said . He did not care about the last chief or any other matter .
“He is the only one left in their family . ”
“What about it?”
“I will have to ask the chief about this matter . ”

“Hurry up and go find him,” Yang Guanfeng said . “Do not dawdle . Is five minutes enough for you?”
“You must wait for me to come back . I will go and find the chief . ”
“Don’t bother looking for me . ” A voice rang out as Miao Xihe appeared beside them .
“Hello, Chief Miao . ”
“Hello, Captain Yang . ”
“Let’s go . I will go and talk to him . ”
“Uncle . ” After seeing Miao Xihe, Miao Qingshan’s attitude changed . He became very respectful .
“Qingshan, tell me the truth, have you ever met that person from outside?”
“I have never seen him, or the dog would have barked . ”
“Captain Yang?” Miao Xihe turned around and looked at Yang Guanfeng .
“I want to go in the house and have a look . ”
“Qingshan, let him in the house to have a look . ”
“Yes, Uncle . ”
Miao Xihe’s authority was quite extraordinary . He just said a few words and managed to make the other side obediently yield .
The group of men entered the room, which was very messy and had a pungent medicinal smell .
“What were you doing here?” Miao Xihe looked at Miao Qingshan as he asked .
“Umm…” Miao Qingshan did not answer the question .
There was the scent of blood in the room .
It was not Yang Guanfeng’s first time smelling that scent . He was very sensitive to it .
Was it from a human or an animal?
He followed the scent as he searched .
Wait a minute!
Miao Qingshan suddenly blocked him .
“Qingshan!” Miao Xihe’s face changed . “Are you not listening to me?”
“Chief, I did not kill anyone . ” Miao Qingshan’s way of addressing him had changed .
“So, what are you afraid of?”
“I am afraid of being framed,” Miao Qingshan said .
“Get out of the way!”
Miao Qingshan’s gaze turned cold again .
This was not good .
Yang Guanfeng pulled out his gun . A man suddenly appeared in front of him . Miao Qingshan fell to the ground and fainted .
How fast!
Yang Guanfeng looked at Miao Xihe in front . The head of the Miao clan was an expert martial artist . He had not expected that .
“OK, Captain Yang, you can investigate as much as you like now . ” Miao Xihe’s tone had turned a little cold .
Yang Guanfeng did not care about that . He followed the smell now and quickly began searching . He found a passage leading underground . He opened the floor . The strong smell of blood rushed out from the underground . It was pungent and disgusting .
“That is the smell of human blood,” Yang Guanfeng said .
