The leading constable was named Wu Mountain, who received a report saying two people from Fu Ze Village were missing, suspected to be killed by Chen Mo.
Originally, matters outside the city were completely ignored by Wu Mountain, even if it was a homicide. If there was no benefit, he wouldn't get involved. As per the County Magistrate's words, the lives of the peasants outside the city are worthless; dead is just dead.
Investigating in these chaotic times is nothing but a thankless task; after all, the people in the city are barely surviving, while the rascals outside have no benefits to offer, not to mention those suspected to be murdered.
However, when he learned that Chen Mo had obtained a wild boar hide from the hands of the missing persons, his thoughts changed.
A wild boar hide could easily sell for a thousand coins, which was quite a lot of money.
With benefits at hand, he decided to take action, called upon three friends, and made a trip to Fu Ze Village.
