Three days later, Xiao Ji and Huo Dong came to Bincheng, North Province, and learned about the tragedy through the people in the city.

The thirteen corpses at the bottom of the Tianhe River were finally recovered.

"Each corpse was bound to its feet with a scale inlaid with four copper coins. ”

"The arms were also sewn together and raised above the head. ”

"The head and neck were severed, and he looked down at his feet, but his eyes were gouged out. Huo Dong looked at the corpse lying by the river and said.

Xiao Ji asked, "How do you say that?"

"This is the method of channeling the soul qi of the Mo Yuan River, and it is the same as the ice crystals encountered in the Great Monarch's Palace that day. Huo Dong said.

"In this way, the Maharaja's violent death was due to the spirit of the soul. Xiao Ji thought for a while and said.

Huo Dong frowned and said, "No, I don't feel right, this powerful soul qi seems to be gathering something!"

"The grievances of thirteen people are locked up with such a magic weapon!"

"Immortality!

Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, and he said: "No wonder Chuanchen Jiaji will die violently, he is here to continue his life!"

After the investigation of the two of them, they finally made public the dirty deeds of the Maharaja Kawatomi and Yamamoto Hengding.

Because of his high voice, Nobuyuki Hirahara was elected to the position of the Great Monarch and became the new generation of monarchs of Dongyingzhou.

People's lives have gradually stabilized, and the snow has cleared up after this day.

The winter day is a little cold, but this still can't stop the bustle of the Ruyue Painting Museum in the Eastern Capital.

There are countless famous artists from Sakurajo, Kita-Dohama, Nairon, and the eastern capital of Honjo.

They are all here today for one person, and he is the world-famous painter Tsukisugi Songyang.

His painting "Phantom Face" was unveiled for the first time in the Ruyue Art Gallery, and it was something that many people didn't have a chance to see if they wanted to see it.

Because this painting has always followed the author's side, it has never been seen up close by the world.

"I heard that today I can not only see the miraculous painting, but also see the true face of Tsukisugi Songyang. A fat man who is not tall said to his friends.

The fat man's friend nodded and said, "That's right, but it's also very peculiar." ”

"Why doesn't this Yueshan Songyang let the world see his appearance? Could it be that he looks extremely ugly?"

The fat man thought about it and whispered: "Not necessarily, or his appearance is too stunning, so he uses a mask to avoid criticism." ”

"Yes, that's it, let's go in and have a look. The fat man's friend said, pulled the fat man, and walked anxiously to the Ruyue Painting Gallery.

There are two floors in the gallery, and on the first floor, there are six paintings hanging on each side of the hall, all of which are by Tsukisugi Songyang.

Seeing this, painters from all over the world came up and watched carefully.

"Mr. Tsukisugi's painting skills are really at the pinnacle of creation, and even the feathers of the finches are so realistic. A painter said, looking at a landscape painting by Yueshan Songyang.

In front of another geisha stands a thin woman, who has been looking at the painting without speaking or moving.

The woman stared at the painting for a long time, when suddenly a black object fell in front of her eyes.

Before she could see what had fallen, she felt as if a few drops of water had been thrown off her face.

The woman took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the water on her face with some displeasure.

When she saw the veil, she almost fainted.

"Blood, blood!" exclaimed the woman. 360 Literature Network

At this time, when she lowered her head to look at the veil, she also saw clearly what the thing had just fallen from her eyes!

That's a severed head!

It was a severed head with a fresh, young but unfamiliar face!

"Man, man, head!" the woman shook her hands, pointed to the severed head at her feet, and fell straight backwards without taking a breath.

Suddenly, the people around them panicked, and they surrounded the fainting woman and the severed head beside her, and they talked about it.

Then, someone shouted in the crowd: "This severed head! Yes, it belongs to Yueshan Songyang!"

After this sentence was shouted, people instantly blew up!

At this time, on the second floor of the gallery, there was another terrible shout, and everyone ran up to the second floor to look.

It turned out that it was a maid who also fainted in front of a painting covered with black veil.

Her face and body were soaked in bright red blood!

Because, the decapitated corpse stood in front of the painting covered with black veil, raising his arm motionlessly, as if to lift the black veil.

The blood gushing out of his neck turned the wooden floor, the paintings, and the maid still lying on the ground a strange dark red!

The next day, the owner of the Ruyue Art Museum and the world-famous painter Yueshan Songyang, was beheaded by someone with what murder weapon.

For a time, the news was spread all over Dongyingzhou.

And the most bizarre thing is that the woman who saw the severed head also died violently and died at home.

Not to mention that they were just frightened, how could it be that even the witnesses lost their lives for no reason!

Yoshinagata, the lord of the eastern capital, ordered a thorough investigation of the case, and the people of the public case office immediately intervened in the investigation, but three days later, the case of Sugi Songyang's beheading had not been solved.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the case, the lord of the castle, Yoshinagata, and his attendant Nakayama Sakuro arrived at the main city of Sakura Castle.

They planned to invite Xiao Ji and Huo Dong to the Eastern Capital City to investigate the suspected case of severed heads.

When the two came to the door of the coffin shop, there were four workers carrying a delicate coffin outside.

At this time, Xiao Ji also walked out, and he saw Yoshinaga Tian and Nakayama Saro stopping not far away to look at this side.

He walked over, smiled and said, "Both, please." ”

Ji Yongtian was slightly stunned, and then smiled back: "Xiaojun is really clever, and you can see at a glance that the two of us are not customers." ”

Xiao Ji smiled and said, "You are too famous, but the two of you are not dressed in plain clothes, so you will not come to buy a coffin." ”

Zhongshan Zuolang frowned and said in surprise: "I heard that you are a strange agent who has solved many mysterious cases. ”

"However, it would be too hasty to conclude that we are not here to buy the coffin from the clothes of the adults and me. ”

"Why can't we come to buy coffins dressed in fancy clothes!"

Yoshinaga just smiled, but remained silent, although it was Nakayama Saro who questioned him a little unreasonably.

But he also has reservations about Xiaoji's ability to detect cases, after all, there is a big discrepancy between the legend and the real situation.

Xiao Ji nodded slightly and said, "The more complicated the world, the more suspicious it is. ”

And the same is true of people, simple truth, preconceived thinking is the most common thing for ordinary people. ”

"So, please go down to the tea room in the back porch. ”

After speaking, Xiao Ji turned around and walked towards the shop, Yoshinaga Tian glanced at Nakayama Zuolang and nodded, motioning for the two to follow together.
