The western suburbs of Dongzi County used to be a mass grave. I heard that since the beginning of the previous dynasty, a general was defeated so much that he did not want to disarm and surrender, so he led a group of deserters to his own death. Since then, there has been a legend that whenever there is rainy weather, you can hear the angry shouts of the unjust ghosts in the mass graves, that is, the generals and soldiers are looking for someone to ask for their lives.

The Confucius Temple in the western suburbs was built by the people in the last county order to encourage private schools, and it is only half a mile away from the newly opened school. Surrounded by a large bamboo forest, it looks like a bamboo shoot wrapped in layers of skin.

When Liu Yingyi arrived, there were already a lot of people outside the Confucius Temple, including the master of the private school, the frightened schoolchildren, and the villagers who did good things...... They were all stopped outside one by one.

The bamboo forests are lush with foliage, and when the weather is hot, they can drive away the heat and bring a light breeze, but now it only makes people feel the gust of wind.

Liu Yingyi walked into the Confucius Temple, compared with the tranquility and tranquility outside, the inside can be described as terrifying and abnormal.

The temple can be seen everywhere in the bloodstains, a slender man was cut into two pieces with a sharp weapon, the lower half of the body was thrown in the center of the temple, the upper body was close to the Buddhist shrine, the deceased's eyes were bloody, he looked in pain and despair, there was a long wound on his neck, someone cut his throat with something, let him watch his body separate, and the blood slowly dried up.

When Liu Yingyi walked in, the yamen's servants were trembling and tidying up the corpse.

The old man of Dongzi County is forty and eight this year, and he is an old Chinese medicine doctor in the county, but because of his age and rich experience in medicine, the former county commander let him be an idle position, and he has been doing it now. Usually there are not too many things, but I didn't expect that in the past two days, I really fell into evil, and there have been life cases one after another, and this one died more bizarre than the other, and one died more terrifying than the other.

The little heart of the old man really can't stand it, and he thinks in his heart, and when he arrives at the end of the year, he will ask the yamen to resign and move to his daughter and son-in-law. This dog's errand is really not done by people.

Liu Yingyi walked to the side of the deceased and asked softly, "What is the cause of death of the deceased?" ”

The old man replied: "Back to my lord, the deceased had many wounds, but none of them were fatal. ”

Liu Yingyi frowned slightly, pointing to the long wound on the corpse's neck, "Isn't this also a fatal injury?" ”

"My lord, although this wound is very long, it is not deep enough, and blood will flow out of the wound, but it will not be fatal immediately."

Liu Yingyi looked down at the corpse carefully, the blood had been completely soaked in the clothes of the deceased, like some wild beast deliberately dried the blood of its prey, just to quietly enjoy the next delicious meal.

Liu Yingyi's eyes were sharp, and he leaned down to make a new discovery.

There were a few pieces of broken porcelain hidden in the front half of the corpse, and Liu Yingyi pulled out a piece of broken porcelain, although it was stained with blood, but from the curvature of the porcelain piece, this thing was very familiar, it was the night pot that he had just seen from the grocery store.

The two murder scenes are inseparable from such murder weapons, what does this night pot have to do with these two murders? I still have to talk about this matter with the water girl who sells night pots in the grocery store.

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The water girl that Lord Liu was thinking about in his heart just now was walking into the Confucius Temple with brisk steps.

Compared with Shui Qingxiang's mood at this time, Qin Zhutou's mood was extremely heavy. In fact, he didn't know that the night pot girl in a grocery store didn't know how to get into the eyes of the county magistrate, and actually called her to the scene.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Zhutou's hungry stomach felt that he was not hungry. Walking into this Confucius Temple again, as soon as he saw the blood all over the ground and smelled the strong smell of blood, Qin Zhutou even felt a little sick to his stomach.

Shui Qingxiang feels normal, she has seen a perverted murderer in her previous life, and she has seen a scene that is a hundred times more terrifying.

She walked into the scene of the crime and carefully examined the blood and footprints on the ground. Squatted on the ground and carefully looked at half of the deceased's body, and then walked to Lord Liu's side to inspect the other half of the corpse, as for the piece of porcelain in Lord Liu's hand, she also looked at it, leaving only Shui Qingxiang who was thinking at the scene.

"The murderer has a grudge against the deceased, and he not only wants the victim to die, but also wants him to die in agony. The murderer is more skilled than the deceased, and he can kill him with a knife like killing a butcher, but he uses the most cruel method to make him die. separated the other party's throat, but just to let him watch his blood drain, and cut off his lower body with his own hands, looking at his own head. Shui Qingxiang calmly told the situation she had deduced from the crime.

"What? You say that the murderer of Butcher Zhang and the murderer in the Confucius Temple are the same person? Yoo Young-yi was a little surprised.

"I know that the scenes of the two cases look completely different, and the second deceased died in a much more brutal way than the first, but it can also be seen that the murderer wants revenge. My lord, listen to my analysis, first, the two cases occurred in Dongzi County at the same time, and one day apart, the two cases appeared at the same time, indicating that the murderer may be the same person; Second, the two cases happened at the same time at night, and it can be seen from the cruel way in which the murderer cut his throat and cut open the body of the deceased that the murderer was martial arts and not weak.

When he killed Butcher Zhang yesterday, Butcher Zhang was defenseless, so he smashed the other party's head and let Zhang escape. And today's deceased, under the condition that the deceased was on guard, after a fight between the two people, the deceased's martial arts were defeated by the murderer, and the murderer was ruthless next. ”

Judging from a night pot, the murderer who killed Butcher Zhang and today's murderer are the same person, and Liu Yingyi can be regarded as convinced, "How do you think today's deceased can also do martial arts?" "It's a teacher who died.

"Adults can look at the inside wall of this temple, there are pits, this is not only the traces left by the old age, but also the traces of the fight left yesterday. Moreover, the deceased was seriously injured, how could an ordinary teacher wait until the blood dried up after being so seriously injured? Presumably, this teacher is also a practitioner, and if the adults agree, I can help the adults ask the other gentlemen and boys in the private school to find out about the situation of the deceased. ”

"It's okay, I'll go with you." Lord Liu gave Shui Qingxiang a look and motioned for her to go out and ask first.

Shui Qingxiang didn't think too much about it and walked straight out.

Liu Yingyi watched Shui Qingxiang walk out and called Qin Zhutou to his side: "Qin Zhutou, help me do something." ”

Qin Zhutou leaned his ears to Liu Yingyi's side, and after listening to Liu Yingyi's words, he couldn't help but open his round eyes, "My lord, do you really want to do this?" What if the water girl ......"

"It's okay, just give it a try." Lord Liu hooked the corners of his lips, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
