Chapter Forty-Seven: Dead Again
The Prince's Mansion
Crystal elbow, pineapple shrimp, steamed crucian carp...... The food is served like water.
Ning Zizhi burped and collapsed on the chair without any image.
Fang Xile is still insisting on fighting.
"How can you eat so much?"
Ning Zi's eyes were round, and his mouth grew into an O-shape.
Fang Xile glanced at him: "I haven't seen it before." ”
Warriors need a lot of nutrients to replenish qi and blood, and all of them are big stomachs.
Hao Dayou took a pot of harvest and put it in the middle of the table, and said with a smile: "It's good to be able to eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat." ”
He was the head chef of the county king's mansion, he was not tall and fat, and his whole body was cylindrical.
He is the peak martial artist of the day after tomorrow, but he loves to cook, and he throws the knife with both hands fast and slippery, which is used to cut vegetables, in his words, in this world, only food and diners can not live up to it.
Originally, he only cooked for Qin Yuchuan, or when there was a banquet in the county king's mansion, he would come forward to show his hand.
But Fang Xile somehow fit his temperament, so as soon as she came to the palace, Hao Dayou would prepare a table of delicacies.
"Have you heard, something happened to the citron today. ”
Citron is an incense shop, selling balsam gouache, not far from the county king's mansion.
The boss, Mrs. Chai, is also a freak, a peak martial artist the day after tomorrow, who can exist in a famous town and a county, but guards a small shop and concocts all kinds of spices.
However, it is not without advantages, the people who go to the store dare not bargain with her, and the peers dare not compete with her for business.
Fang Xile and Ning Ziyi ran around outside today, and they really haven't heard of it.
In ancient times, there were no telephones, no newspapers, and all news was passed on by word of mouth, which was very slow.
"What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Chai, someone killed!"
"Huh?" Fang Xile looked surprised, who could kill a late day after tomorrow, and for what?
"I heard that it was dismembered, the body was cut into pieces, and thrown in different places, and the internal organs have not been found until now, and it is estimated that they were taken away by wild dogs. ”
"So miserable?"
Someone cheered, and Hao Dayou talked more about it: "You don't know, the things behind are even more bizarre." ”
"What's the matter?"
Fang Xile asked.
Hao Dayou lowered his voice: "In the basement of Mrs. Chai's shop, there are several corpses, all of which have been skinned, and there is a large cauldron in the middle, boiling human skins, and the boiled water is collected to make balsam. ”
Ning Zi pressed his stomach, and when he heard such news as soon as he was full, he was not very comfortable.
Hao Dayou was a little embarrassed, both are the peak martial artists of the day after tomorrow, and the two have naturally dealt with each other, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Chai, who looks noble and elegant, is actually a murderer, and her killing methods are so perverted.
"Everyone said that this was the man who was killed, and he turned into a ghost to get revenge. ”
It's another homicide case, and the county town of Xichuan has been really lively recently.
If it was a ghost thing, presumably Bao Chun would come to them.
Speak of the devil.
The next person came to report the news, and Bao Tou asked to see him outside the door.
Fang Xile and Ning Zizhi glanced at each other, and they were going to be busy again.
The citron looks neat and tidy, and there are no signs of a fight.
Mrs. Chai's body had been cleaned up, covered with a white cloth, and placed in a corner of the store.
Ning Zizhi pulled out the Yin Qi Talisman, clamped it with two fingers, and shook it gently.
The rune paper burned rapidly, and a cloud of black gas floated out, but it did not dissipate, and slowly drifted towards the basement.
The two of them hurriedly followed.
The black gas swirled in the basement for a while, gradually growing in size, from a mass the size of a rice grain to the size of a soybean.
"Sure enough, there is yin, but there is not a lot of yin. ”
Compared to the store, the basement is a little messy, things are falling to the ground in a mess, the wall, the ground, there are blood stains, obviously this is the real scene of the murder, Mrs. Chai and the other party had a fight, and finally lost the enemy and was killed.
Fang Xile narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is it the ghost thing that attacked you?" asked Ning Zizhi.
"It's hard to say. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Fang Xile's eyes, could the ghost thing that attacked her that day really kill Mrs. Chai?
Ning Zizhi relaxed his control over the black air mass, and the air mass immediately floated out again.
This time, the air mass is contaminated with the yin qi of the ghost, and it will automatically trace the direction of the ghost.
Ning Zi, Fang Xile hurriedly ran out.
The air mass fluttered out of the incense shop, moving left and right, back and forth, taking the two of them around a lot of wrongful roads, and finally-
Landed on a wild dog.
Ning Zizhi: ... You're kidding me!
Fang Xile remembered Hao Dayou's words, and his heart moved.
"Kill the dog?"
Bao Chun asked uncertainly.
"Hmm"
Bao Chun called the butcher and cut open the dog's belly, Fang Xile stepped forward and took out some blood-red pieces of meat from his stomach with nausea.
"What are you doing?"
Ning Zizhi looked at Fang Xile and took out these sticky things from his stomach, his face frightened.
Fang Xile ignored him: "Bao Zhutou, come over and take a look, what are these things?"
Bao Catcher has been a catcher for more than 20 years, and he has never seen any scenes, so he immediately walked over.
He looked at it carefully for a while and frowned: "These seem to be human internal organs. ”
"Is there a heart?"
After watching it for a long time, Bao Chun was a little unsure: "It doesn't seem to be there, and it still needs to be checked." ”
"What, has something to do with the heart-digging case?" Bao Chun asked keenly.
"It's just a guess, what about the female corpses that were killed by Mrs. Chai?"
"There are too many people who have died recently, and we can't put them anywhere, so we just put them in Yizhuang and wait for their relatives to identify them. ”
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
The three of them came to Yizhuang, and Ning Zi repeated his old skills and measured the yin qi.
Some of the yin qi in Yizhuang is very normal, and these ownerless yin qi will not move at will, they will honestly stay in one place, and reluctantly move the place with the wind blowing.
"These corpses are fine. ”
Ning Zi gestured to Fang Xile: "So it is ruled out that the possibility of revenge by the ghosts is ruled out." ”
Fang Xile frowned, so why did the ghost thing kill people?
And why are there so many ordinary people who don't kill, but pick the late stage of the day after tomorrow or even the peak martial artists who are difficult to kill?
Moreover, Mrs. Chai's broken corpse may just be a cover for the ghost to take away the heart.
So, is there any connection between this matter and the heart-digging case?
Things are getting more and more confusing, Fang Xile has a headache, she is still good at picking up her fists and fighting.
"Arrest the head, and then if any family member comes to collect the body, it must be written down and sent to monitor it. ”
"Good!"
Bao Chun should come down in one bite.
"Be careful when following you, there may be a contractor among them. ”
Fang Xile took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Bao Chun: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Although it was the county king who asked them to cooperate with the two, the county king only nominally managed the entire county city, the world was still the world of Emperor Qin, and it was his courtiers who managed the world.
In fact, it was the county keeper Bao Rensheng who was in charge of Xichuan County.
Bao Chun, as the head catcher of the county town, is in love to help the two, it is for the sake of the county king's face, and it is also his duty not to help, so Fang Xi is happy to accept his love and will not let them be busy in vain.
