Other places in the temple of the goddess, Gu Qiancheng and Qin Shiyan have checked, they came this time to see the dried corpses in the secret room, after the inspection, Qin Shiyan and Gu Qiancheng were unwilling to stay longer in the place where the corpses were placed, and the two came out quickly.

The dried corpses in the secret room could not be moved, so Qin Shiyan could only continue to keep people guarded, and asked people to prepare the tools to be used, so that Gu Qiancheng could check these dried corpses two days later.

Stained with corpse gas, the two did not rush to get into the carriage, but walked around twice in the sun, basking in the sun, so as to remove the corpse gas from their bodies, and waited until almost two of them returned to the carriage.

At this time, Gu Qiancheng had completely controlled his mood and did not show any sadness, and as soon as he got into the carriage, Gu Qiancheng discussed with Qin Xiaoyan about the dried corpses.

The two of them were imagining, how did those dried corpses get in?

The mouth of the jar is so small that only one head can be put down, and even if the flesh is dried, the waist cannot be stuffed through the hole.

"Judging from the dried corpse, the murderer did not cut the corpse open, and although the corpse was twisted into a ball, it was still intact." Gu Qiancheng's fingers dipped in water, drew a jar-like shape on the coffee table, rubbed his chin, and thought about various possibilities to put the corpse in.

Qin Shiyan knew that Gu Qiancheng was not looking for him, so he didn't speak, but just watched Gu Qiancheng not speak, and quietly accompanied Gu Qiancheng to work.

Along the way, Gu Qiancheng thought of many possibilities, but in the end he was overthrown by himself, and until he arrived at the city gate, Gu Qiancheng didn't come up with a way to stuff the complete corpse into the jar.

"Okay, don't think about it, just go back and open the jar." Qin Xiaoyan was afraid that Gu Qiancheng would think too much and hurt his nerves.

"I don't want to." Gu Qiancheng sighed, "It's useless to come up with a reason, the most important thing is to find the murderer." ”

"Hmm." Qin Lianyan responded for a moment, and did not continue to speak, afraid that Gu Qiancheng would not rest again.

When he left the city in the morning, he told the soldiers guarding the city that if he saw Qin Shiyan's carriage again, he would not be allowed to come forward to check.

Therefore, when the carriage came to the city gate again, the soldiers defending the city did not remind Qin Xiaoyan to get off the carriage, but only checked it outside the carriage once and let it go.

What Qin Xiaoyan enjoys is not a privilege, but that he himself has this right. It's like, if you want to check the people who enter and exit the palace, does anyone dare to check the emperor?

Gu Qiancheng wanted to see the statue of the goddess, and after entering the city, the coachman drove the carriage directly to the six gates.

Gu Qiancheng hadn't been here for a long time, but the people in the six doors remembered her, and when they saw her and Qin Shiyan appearing together, they were not surprised that the six doors went up and down, and they said hello one by one.

"Six Doors is getting more and more lively." Unlike the previous visits, the people at Six Doors are now refreshed and motivated.

"Hmm. This king is now in the household department. Qin Xiaoyan said something that Feng Niu Ma didn't believe, but Gu Qiancheng miraculously found that she understood.

Qin Xiaoyan is now in the household department, and the household department is in charge of the money, it is not difficult for him to give six doors an extra batch of silver, and those who have silver are naturally willing to work hard.

Gu Qiancheng's guess was not true, now the six doors are the department with the best welfare among the six departments, and every time a case is solved, Qin Xiaoyan will give a certain percentage of rewards to his subordinates, which fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of the people in the six doors.

Qin Xiaoyan took Gu Qiancheng to his office room, and only after the person who delivered the tea went down did he take out the statue of the little goddess. "Look at it."

It is exactly the same as the statue of the goddess in the temple of the goddess, but the size is different, Gu Qiancheng took it in his hand and looked at the carving skill carefully, "It should be from the same person." ”

"Hmm. This king let the master sculptor see, the big and small statues of the goddess are all from the same person's hand, the other party's carving is extraordinary, the level is above the master, but no one can see which master's work. "Famous masters have their own style, as long as there are works in the world, people can see one or two, but no one can see the statue of the goddess.

"It is impossible to carve the statue of the goddess at the beginning, there is no movement at all, but it is too early, and it is difficult to check now." After Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, he stared at the eyes of the little goddess.

The eyes of the little goddess are equally vividly carved and can make people obsessed with the sight, but they do not have the demagogic hypnotic power of the statue of the goddess.

"There seems nothing wrong with the statue of the little goddess?" Gu Qiancheng tossed and turned, but he didn't see anything unusual, and said secretly in his heart: It can't be that her willpower is too strong, and she can't be hypnotized lightly, right?

"Indeed, the king has seen all six doors up and down, and no one will be affected by them. But......" Qin Shiyan's words changed, "This king has checked the people who worship the statue of the little goddess, and they are all extremely pious, and they worship the goddess as a god, saying that the statue of the goddess is extremely effective. ”

"Miracle? What did they ask for? Gu Qiancheng asked curiously.

"No one else knows, but seven of these kings do. Their husband's favorite concubines were made into dried corpses. When Qin Xiaoyan spoke, he kept looking at Gu Qiancheng, and when he saw that Gu Qiancheng was not surprised at all, he said, "Did you guess it a long time ago?" ”

Gu Qiancheng didn't hide it, and nodded, "I guessed it." "There is always a reason why the temple of the goddess does not appear dry corpses for no reason.

"It seems that several other dried corpses are also related to this little goddess statue." Gu Qiancheng put down the statue of the goddess and sat down opposite Qin Xiaoyan. "Where did this little statue come from?"

"An official of the Criminal Department stole it from his aunt, and it is said that her aunt would put incense on the statue of the little goddess on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Coincidentally, more than 20 years ago, his uncle's family also lost a favorite concubine, saying that she eloped with someone. Qin Xiaoyan tapped on the table with a hint of ridicule.

"The Daizheng room killed the concubine, and the goddess really benefited people." Gu Qiancheng also smiled sarcastically, "It seems that the identities of the other corpses are not difficult to check." ”

"No, it's hard." Qin Xiaoyan stretched out his finger and shook it in Gu Qiancheng, "In the past fifty years in the capital, there have been nearly a thousand concubines and smugglers. Within 30 years, four or five hundred concubines and concubines disappeared. Even, in the past ten years, there have been more than 200 concubines and concubines. ”

In the temple of the goddess, there are only a dozen dried corpses, which is disproportionate to these numbers.

"What about the people who believe in goddesses in the capital?" Gu Qiancheng asked another key, and the answer he got made people feel even bigger.

"There are thousands, if not tens of thousands." After Qin Xiaoyan reported this number, Gu Qiancheng stopped speaking at all.

If it is the era of large numbers, it is very convenient to check the population, but in this era when everything depends on manual work, and the dead are not reported to the government, finding the missing person is really an extremely huge workload.

Gu Qiancheng sighed, closed his eyes and said, "Two days later, I will go to the Goddess Temple for an autopsy. "Hopefully I'll find some clues.

"Hmm." Qin Shiyan didn't stop him, thinking that he still had something to do at night, he got up and said, "It's not early, this king will send you back." ”

Gu Qiancheng wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say anything about Shang Qin's deep and firm eyes.

After everything is over, it is easy to arouse suspicion, Gu Qiancheng doesn't want Qin Xiaoyan to know her thoughts......
