"He fled?"

Lin An was stunned for a moment before he reacted, his face full of disbelief.

Mu Zuo nodded, and then explained to him.

More than ten days ago, a tragic incident occurred in a Zhuangzi outside Pinglu City.

The city lord sent the arrester to investigate, but not only did he not reach a conclusion, but he felt that there were many suspicions.

The bodies of the most bizarre of the victims were sent to the city.

Ordinary people are inexperienced and can't judge such a suspicious case, so Mu Zuo conducted an autopsy and finally came to the result: drowning.

The "cause of death" was ascertained, but the case has not yet been solved.

The incident was judged to be strange, and the man's body was also stored in the city's morgue and guarded by the guards.

After the incident of the Zhang family happened, Mu Zuo was invited for the same reason.

"The first autopsy, I found that the people of the Zhang family had no other abnormalities except for the strange death.

I thought it was weird, but I didn't have a clue.

That's why I reminded you last night to be cautious during this time.

But I didn't expect that it was just one night, and I went to check again this morning, but found that there was one less corpse in Zhang's courtyard. ”

The missing "corpse" is not a person who has lived in the Zhang family for a long time, and it is this that reminds Mu Zuo.

He was about to find the drowned body before to re-examine it, and the guards below came to report it.

Said that it was the drowned corpse, and under the eyes of the guards, got up and ran.

Not stolen, but got up and ran away.

After hearing this, Lin An was dumbfounded.

Whoever hears such an unthinkable thing must have doubts.

The same was true for Mu Zuo and the city lord Li Xiuping, but with a brief check, they were sure that the guards were not lying.

In the end, I had to accept this fact.

And the error in the "autopsy" result also made Mu Zuo doubt his medical skills, so that when he returned home, he kept frowning.

After explaining, Muzuo continued:

"The case of the Zhang family, like the one that happened in Zhuangzi, is related to weirdness. There is no small connection between the two.

I'm going to be away for a few days and cooperate with the government's people to investigate.

These days, you should be careful alone, except for the places you usually go, it is best not to move around at will. ”

"Yes, Master, I see. ”

The lights went out and I watched the moonlight shine from the window.

Lin An felt a sense of tension in his heart.

The Zhang family and the Zhuangzi, two things that were originally unrelated, are now implicated.

This made Lin An feel as if he was on a chessboard, and the weirdness that happened was one after another emerging chess pieces.

He never knew if more pawns would emerge tomorrow to surround him and strangle him.

"I'm still too weak. ”

A thousand words, after all, turned into this sentence.

With the expectation and helplessness of strength, Lin An fell asleep.

......

In the middle of the city, a small abandoned mansion.

The fat and thin two were drinking in the moonlight.

After a glass of wine, Humpty Dumpty said with some indignation:

"Cousin, that vampire is so greedy, he is only willing to pay fifty taels of silver for two hundred taels.

As soon as it changed hands easily, it was one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which was more than the two of us who were afraid to toss and toss in one night. ”

"If you earn it, let him earn it!

Who let that boy not bring cash, and our identity is not visible.

This Pinglucheng is a bit weird, get rid of it early, leave early, even if you lose a little, it's a good thing. ”

The tall and thin cousin took a sip of wine and said indifferently.

If Lin An was here at this time, he would definitely be able to find out that this person was the one who sold jade pixiu in Uncle Zhang's shop in the afternoon.

The two are both cousins, and they are gentlemen who are active in the surrounding area.

Because the craftsmanship is not bad, and the actions are also measured, but he has also won the title of a fat and thin man.

The two have been in Pinglu City for some time, but they have never found a chance to make a move.

Until yesterday, I heard the news of the accident of the Zhang family in the south of the city.

"A family of more than 30 people, all dead, no guards, no maids, don't worry about being discovered, what a good opportunity!"

This is what the fat cousin said after hearing about the Zhang family.

The two immediately made a decision, made a plan, and took advantage of the opportunity of being unguarded at night to go to Zhang's house to make a lot of money.

The fat cousin was angry, he gritted his teeth and said:

"That is, because we are in a hurry to leave, the vampire dares to open his mouth.

If we hadn't seen the light and didn't want to cause trouble, I'd have let the vampire know how good we are.

By the way, cousin, is what you saw last night real?

In the courtyard of the Zhang family, is there really a corpse moving?"

The topic suddenly came here, and when the thin cousin heard it, his face changed.

"Maybe I'm dazzled!

But this Pinglu City is really weird, let's not come back in the future. ”

"Hehe, if there is such a good opportunity, cousin, are you willing to give up?

The real money alone is thousands of taels, and one shot is enough for us to live happily for more than half a year.

I can't afford to let go of such an opportunity. ”

The fat cousin was already a little drunk.

"In my opinion, things like the Zhang family should come a few more times.

No guards, no maids, no need to be afraid.

Gold everywhere, you can pick up money by reaching out, tsk. ”

Wow –

At this moment, a sound of falling water sounded.

When the fat cousin heard this, he turned his head, saw the scene around him, and asked suspiciously:

"Where's your head, cousin?"

I saw that the thin cousin was sitting on a chair, stretching out his hand to drink.

It's just that the place that should be the mouth, the head on the neck, has disappeared.

And the body didn't seem to realize it, so that the drink fell to the ground, stirring up a loud noise.

The skinny cousin put down his wine glass and made a movement with his body.

If his head is still there, it should be a head-twisting motion.

There was no sound, and everything seemed a little weird.

The fat cousin was stunned for a moment, and then he sobered up a lot.

He was about to scream, but found himself silent.

......

During the day, Pinglu City is still peaceful.

Early in the morning, Mu Zuo, who had already packed up, left the pharmacy.

Lin An's life is no different from the past.

Because of the strangeness that happened more than ten days ago, Mu Zuo has closed the pharmacy, leaving only the business of delivering medicine.

Coupled with what happened to the Zhang family, he cut some of his business.

Lin An's time is very free now.

After sending the medicinal materials of the Luo Family Martial Arts Hall, Lin An closed the door of the courtyard and began today's punching mission.

Time passed little by little, just as he was immersed in punching.

The two men came to the gate of his courtyard.

It was his friend Chen Pi and his maid Xiao Si.

Because of Lin An's frowning performance, Chen Pi cautiously suspended the transaction with the tall and thin man.

But he was really excited about this jade pixiu.

After returning to Chen's house, he sent someone to investigate.

The result was the tall and thin man who sold the treasures, and he had been in Pinglu City for some time.

And the time of this day passed, and no one in the city heard of the theft of the treasure.

Based on a comprehensive judgment, he thought that the jade pixiu was indeed as Uncle Zhang said, it was an ownerless thing, and no one would come to ask for it.

I couldn't hold it back, so I wanted to go again to check the situation.

If the treasure is still there, buy it.

Walking to the door of Lin Anyuan, Chen Pi was about to call someone, but suddenly there was some hesitation.

"Anzi is usually quite busy, and when he called him yesterday, he still looked a little reluctant.

And I went this time just to see if Jade Pixiu was still there.

Otherwise, I won't bother him. ”

Thinking like this, he gave up his plan to call Lin An together.

The two quietly walked past the gate of the courtyard.
