Early the next morning, it rained lightly in the town, so Yin Tiancheng had to rent a small sedan chair and let the sedan chair driver carry Li Xiaoyun to the Daimyo's mansion. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yin Tiancheng wanted to rent a horse to accompany him, but in this remote town, Yin Tiancheng walked around the market and did not find a merchant renting a horse, so he had to buy an umbrella and follow the sedan chair on foot.

Although the Daimyo's Mansion is not as good as the capital, it is also a prosperous place, Yin Tiancheng came to the mansion, just said what he meant, and before he took out the gold medal to prove his identity, the official on duty ran in to report.

After a while, a middle-aged official and the official hurriedly walked out of the door to greet Yin Tiancheng.

"Brother Yin, I'm looking forward to you." The middle-aged man is Yin Tiancheng's old friend Yang Kuan.

Yin Tiancheng politely returned the salute with him, but there was a trace of strangeness in his heart. You must know that according to the rules of officialdom, only when the superiors come to visit, Governor Yang will come out to greet him. Although he has a good relationship with him, he has just been promoted, and his official quality is only four grades, so he will not let him come out to greet him in person.

Governor Yang saw Yin Tiancheng's surprised expression, and his face smiled even rounder, "Do you think I'm too attentive?" ”

"Sort of, indeed."

"We'll find out when you get in."

Yin Tiancheng followed him to the back hall, Yang Kuan pointed to an unfinished letter on the table and said to him: "I was about to repair a book and go to the capital to invite you, but I didn't expect Brother Yin to come to visit, God really helped me." ”

Yin Tiancheng paused in his heart when he heard this, he knew that Yang Kuan was cautious, and he would bow down to him no matter how big or small. If he hadn't been in trouble, he would have been invited.

At this time, Yang Kuan saw Li Xiaoyun beside Yin Tiancheng, so he asked, "Who is this girl?" ”

"She is Miss Li Xiaoyun from the capital."

"Talented and beautiful, they are really a natural pair." Yang Kuan also thought that Li Xiaoyun was Yin Tiancheng's girlfriend.

As soon as these words came out, Yin Tiancheng suddenly felt embarrassed, and just as he wanted to explain, he heard Xiaoyun say to Yang Kuan: "My lord misunderstood. The little woman was originally going to the capital to visit relatives, but she met a gangster on the road who wanted to harm me, but fortunately, Yin Gongzi came to the rescue. Who knew that the villain was ......"

"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Now that the thief has escaped, Miss doesn't have to worry about it. Yin Tiancheng hurriedly interrupted her, after all, the encounter with Zheng Zhihao was a bit unusual, if Li Xiaoyun said it truthfully, he was afraid that Yang Kuan, who was a mortal, would be worried.

"Okay, you're here anyway." Yang Kuan smiled disapprenosingly: "There is a case that gives me a headache right now, and I am about to use Brother Yin's wisdom to solve this case." ”

"Since Brother Yang invited, how can the younger brother not allow it, I don't know what the big case is?" As soon as Yin Tiancheng heard that there was a case, he immediately became interested.

"Recently, dozens of women from good families have disappeared for no reason, and they have not seen anyone alive or dead. Now the people in the city are panicking, and they all say that the evil ghosts in the underworld are now sending the maids to serve, and the Lord of Yama will send a soul envoy to the mortal world to arrest people. ”

Yin Tiancheng hurriedly asked: "There are still such things, I don't know if there are any clues?" ”

"Alas!" Yang Kuan sighed: "There is no clue at all. ”

"It can't be, right?" It must be known that no matter how clever a criminal is, it is impossible for him to leave no trace at the scene of the crime, which has stimulated Yin Tiancheng's interest in solving the case, and he also wants to know if this is a ghost or god who is haunting him.

"Some of these missing women slept well in the intercalary room at night, and the next morning Yahuan came in to find that there was no one on the bed; Some people only saw a thick smoke rising around the woman, and the person disappeared, and no one could even see what the murderer looked like. ”

"It's a bit weird." Yin Tiancheng was surprised, and it felt like a really weird case. Judging from the murderer's apparent modus operandi, it looks like a ghost crime.

Yang Kuan asked, "Don't you think it's a bit tricky?" ”

"Well, it's really confusing."

"That's why I thought of my brother." Yang Kuan said: "If there is no clue at all, it is not, but I don't think it is a clue." ”

Yin Tiancheng said hurriedly: "You don't want to sell Guanzi, why don't you tell me quickly." ”

"The precious daughter of Sun Hu, the official of this government, was also taken captive, and he had seen the thief side......"

Before Yang Kuan finished speaking, Yin Tiancheng shouted: "Such an important clue, why did you tell me just now that you couldn't find a clue at all!" ”

"Alas, this is actually a clue that I have seen and seen in vain, and it is indeed not a clue." Yang Kuan said: "I'll let Sun Hu tell you about the situation at that time." ”

In less than a moment, a middle-aged official walked in quickly outside the hall, and as soon as he saw Yin Tiancheng kneeling on the ground, "Lord Yin, you can save the little girl." ”

"Sun Zhutou, please get up quickly, and sit down to talk." Yin Tiancheng hurriedly helped him up.

Sun Hu couldn't open his mouth before tears fell, Yin Tiancheng had to comfort him a few words, Li Xiaoyun couldn't bear to watch from the side, and poured him a cup of tea.

Sun Hu finally controlled his emotions, and he said to Yin Tiancheng: "A few days ago, the little girl wanted to go to the temple to burn incense, and I saw that there have been frequent cases of missing women recently, and I felt that it was not safe outside now, so I strongly persuaded her not to go out." But he couldn't stand the little girl's repeated begging, so he had to agree to accompany her. ”

Yin Tiancheng asked: "Could it be that he was robbed by thieves on the way to incense?" ”

"That's not it, I was robbed on the way home."

Sun Hu took a sip of tea and continued: "When I went home that day, it was Shen Shi, because I live in the suburbs of the city, and the way home is relatively remote and there are few pedestrians. Halfway from home, I spotted a man in black with a bamboo hat on his head, who had a wound on his foot, and was squatting there to bandage his wound, and there was a large bag beside him, which seemed to contain something very heavy. I didn't think that guy was a good person, so I went to investigate. ”

Yin Tiancheng nodded frequently when he heard this, Sun Hu, as a head catcher, saw that the stranger was suspicious, and he should be vigilant when he stepped forward to interrogate, so he asked him: "Do you see the appearance of this person clearly?" ”

"No, the bamboo hat is surprisingly big, and he hangs his head again, and I can't see his face at all." Sun Hu added: "I just thought he was a little suspicious, so I asked him who he was and why he was injured." As soon as the thief heard my question, he panicked, picked up the bag and wanted to run, so I hurried forward to stop him. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Hu's face showed a touch of fear, as if something terrible had happened to him that day.

Yin Tiancheng asked again: "What happened at that time?" ”

"I ripped off his bamboo hat, but I saw a terrible face, not a human face at all!"

"Is it a grimace? Demon face? The suspicion in Yin Tiancheng's heart became thicker and thicker.

"I saw a blank face, not only did it have no eyes, nose and mouth, but not even eyebrows, it was smooth like a mirror."

"Are you sure you read that right?" Yin Tiancheng stood up in shock.

"I can't be mistaken, although that face has no facial features and no expression, but I feel that he is smiling like a ghost."

Yin Tiancheng thought for a while and then asked him, "Then what happened?" ”

The thief saw that I was in the way, and with a push of his hand, he easily threw me to the ground, and the little girl screamed in fright. I never thought that the thief would jump in and catch her after seeing the little girl. I was in a hurry, and I didn't care if he was a human or a demon, so I rushed forward to save the little girl. But after a puff of smoke, the thief and the little girl disappeared, and they have not been found. After saying that, he thought about his daughter, and tears were about to fall again.

Yin Tiancheng said: "Sun Zhutou, please rest assured, I will definitely bring the thief to justice and rescue your daughter." ”

"Thank you, Lord Yin." The officials of the Daimyo Mansion had all heard of Yin Tiancheng's superb ability to solve the case, and Sun Hu was slightly relieved when he saw that he promised him face-to-face.

Yang Kuan said to Yin Tiancheng: "Alas, I don't even have a physical feature, what's the use of this clue, I just posted a notice to offer a reward and draw a murderer's head." ”

Yin Tiancheng said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, in my opinion, the murderer has been exposed, at least three days, at most five days, I will let him fall into the legal net." ”

"Childe, we have to go back to Beijing, otherwise your friend will be anxious." Li Xiaoyun gently reminded him beside him.

"If you don't get rid of this kind of night, I vow not to return to Beijing." Yin Tiancheng thought about it and felt that Li Xiaoyun's words were also reasonable, so he said to Yang Kuan: "But I also want to trouble my brother with one thing." ”

"As long as my brother is willing to help me solve this case, I will definitely meet any requirements."

"It's not a difficult matter, please send a letter to my father-in-law to inform me of my whereabouts, so as not to worry about his old man."

"What's so hard about this, I'll write it now." Then Yang Kuan hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to prepare a banquet for Yin Tiancheng to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Li Xiaoyun smiled smartly beside her, she wished she could accompany Yin Tiancheng more, and now this result is exactly what she wants.
