Volume 3 The Strange Case of Jucheng Chapter 5 3 Homicide
3 homicides
Qingqiu Shuo: "Here's the thingγγγγγ β
A few days ago, it was a dark and windy night, in the woods outside the east of the city, someone suddenly shouted: "There are bugs, big bugs, ah, monsters, they all have to die, there are bugs, they all have to die, come quickly, help." β
I saw a scarred, bloody man staggering from the woods towards the city gate while running and shouting, just through the woods to the city gate, suddenly behind him, a black figure, with a gust of wind howl, quickly rushed from the woods to this person, instantly crushed the person under him.
At this time, the guards at the city gate, frightened at this scene, shouted, "Who dares to be presumptuous, stop quickly," and then quickly rushed forward with his weapons, and the black shadow saw the guards rushing towards him, and rushed into the woods with an instant.
Three of the guards shouted, "Where to run, the thief will not be caught quickly" and rushed into the woods, but after a moment several frightened voices rang out: "Ah, monster," "Ahh Only the rustle of the leaves blown by the wind and the chirping of birds, beasts and insects remained.
Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion
I saw a guard rushing into the city lord's mansion and kneeling in front of the door of the city lord's house and shouting: "Report ~~~ City Lord, someone at the east city gate committed murder and killed one person, and two guards were killed on the way to chase the murderer, please make it clear." β
"What, what kind of person is so bold to rush to spread wilderness in my city, quickly say that you can see the appearance of the murderer" Qing Qiu Shuo said as he opened the door and walked out angrily
Bingwei: "Back to the city lord, I didn't see the face of the murderer clearly, but the murderer should be about 1.8 meters tall, athletic, fast, and accompanied by a clicking sound when he escaped, the victim died strangely, please make it clear to the city lord." β
Qingqiu Shuo: "Where is the corpse!"
Guard: "Back to the city lord, the body is already on the palace." β
Qingqiu Shuo: "Okay, take me to check it out"
At this time, a stunning beauty walked out of the door of Qingqiu Shuo's room, she was wearing a slightly simple plain white long brocade dress, the dark brown silk thread embroidered a strange and strong branch on the fabric, the peach silk thread embroidered a blooming red flower, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, this is Qingqiu Shuo's wife Ginkgo. She said in a gentle and gentle tone: "Husband, you have just come back and are going out, I will accompany you." β
Qingqiu Shuo: "Madam, there are murders in the city, and these scenes are too bloody, Madame should go back to the room and rest, I'll just come to this kind of thing, let's go" After saying that, he gestured to the guards.
The city lord's wife: "Husband, be careful. β
Qingqiu Shuo: "Don't worry, madam." Qingqiu Shuo said as he walked.
Soon Qingqiu Shuo came to the hall of the mansion, carefully inspected the corpse, the corpse was full of no aura, the whole body had been shriveled like charcoal, the death was very peculiar, and the face seemed to be scarred by some kind of heavy trauma is still clearly recognizable, unrecognizable, and there are strange wounds on the body, Qingqiu Shuo: "Do you find out the identity of the deceased." β
Guard: "Back to the city lord, in addition to the two guards, the badge of Yang Bin, one of the members of the Spirit Protection Society, was found on the body that was first discovered."
Qingqiu Shuo: "What! How can this be!! Go to Wang Zengyue, the president of the Noise Soul Protection Association, to come to the court." Wait, let's bring them all here. Qingqiu Shuo was shocked, and seemed to be surprised by the murder.
Guard: "It's the lord of the castle." β
After a while, the guards hurriedly ran back to the mansion: "Hey, Wang Zengyue, the president of the City Lord's Spirit Protection Association, and his members are nowhere to be found."
Qingqiu Shuo: "What! How can this be, quickly send an order, search the whole city, find people who are similar to the murderer, as well as members of the Spiritual Protection Association, and see people in life and corpses in death." β
Guard: "It's the castle lord!"
Qingqiu Shuo: "Wait, call Master Yang." β
Guard: "It's the lord of the castle"
After a while, Master Yang walked in and said, "My lord, you called me?"
Qingqiu Shuo: "Well, have you heard about today's events?"
Master Yang: "My lord has already heard that the deceased is Yang Bin of the Spirit Protection Society, could this be... οΌβ
Qingqiu Shuo: "Well, judging from the state of death, it shouldn't be wrong, and I'm afraid that the rest of the Lingbao Society is also very lucky, you go to Yizhou Mansion to report and ask for support." β
Although Qingqiu Shuo had no clue, he still ordered an all-out investigation, and conducted a comprehensive investigation of the people in and out of the city, looking for people with similar characteristics to the murderer, as well as the president and members of the Spiritual Protection Association.
A few days later, the person who went out of the city to report the news was not heard from, and although the entire city was carrying out strict prevention and control investigations, it did not seem to affect the murderer, the number of people killed in the city was still increasing, and the deaths were the same, it was obvious that the murderer may have been committed by the same person, more than 20 corpses were found in just a few days, and after careful examination, it was found that no corpses were found except for Wang Zengyue, and 8 of the corpses have been confirmed to be members of the Lingbao Association: Hu Zhenguo, Wu Lei, Wang Yong, Song Ming, Zhang Weiming, Wu Fei, Wang Tao, Yang Bin 8 people.
At this time, Qingqiu Shuo was stomping back and forth on the government and thinking: "Who is so targeting the Lingbao Society? Wang Zengyue's life and death are still uncertain, what is the relationship between this incident and Wang Zengyue, will the murderer be Wang Zengyue, but the characteristics of the murderer are not like Wang Zengyue at all, the murderer is 1.8 meters and athletic, and Wang Zengyue is just a 1.6 meter fat man." β
As the so-called house leak coincided with the overnight rain, when the case was at a loss, there was an urgent report from the city gates on all sides, and a large number of insects came to the city like a mountain and a sea, and everywhere they went, whether it was a person or a spirit animal, they were all eaten up and only a pile of white bones remained, just when these insects the size of a child were about to surround the city gates on all sides, Qingqiu Shuo's wife Ginkgo came to the hall of the mansion
Qingqiu Shuo: "Madam, why are you here?" β
Ginkgo: "Husband, I have sensed the breath of danger, I feel it, there is a large group of insects that have surrounded the city, I feel that these insects are very ferocious, I think these insects should have a lot to do with the murderers in the city, because I feel that their breath is very similar, if they are allowed to enter the city, they will definitely harm the people in the city, and I am afraid that it will cause greater harm to the silver spirit tree." Husband, I think about it, I'm going to open the Guardian Array. β
Qingqiu Shuo: "Madame, if the guardian array is opened, although it can resist the invasion of insects, you will not be able to leave the spirit tree... β
Ginkgo: "Husband, thank you for your unwavering companionship for so many years, I not only like this city and the people in this city, but more importantly, because of you." I don't want everything I like to be ruined. I hope that my husband will live well and raise our children well, I don't want our children to encounter any danger again, I have passed on my protective heart to our children, so that they will not be discovered by those bugs and bad people, and when the big array is opened, I will teleport our children to a safe place. I hope no one will disturb me running the Guardian Array."
Qingqiu Shuo held Ginkgo's hand with tears in his eyes: "Okay, Madam, I will accompany you this time, regardless of life or death." Don't worry, Madame has me in the city, I will definitely protect the guardian array, and I will definitely not let the responsibility have a chance, I will definitely catch the thief. β
After that, Ginkgo followed the only road to the Ginkgo Spirit Tree to the bottom of the Ginkgo Spirit Tree, Ginkgo put his hand on the tree, and instantly a door appeared on the tree, slowly opened, it turned out that there was a hole in the Ginkgo Spirit Tree. Inside the tree is a huge space, full of flowers and plants, clear streams flowing slowly, butterflies flying, in short, it is a beautiful and quiet space, Ginkgo walked to a circular platform in the center of the space, sat cross-legged, twisted the orchid fingers with both hands and put the palms up on the knees, only to see the ginkgo biloba full of spiritual power running, and the spiritual array on the high platform was wide open.
There was a bang in the surrounding woods outside the city, and a circular shield rose from the ground, gradually forming a dome that enveloped the entire city and part of the woods.
