Zheng's mansion was gloomy, the people were silent one by one, the master of the house did not come out to greet Li Gongfu, just let a housekeeper entertain, the housekeeper saw Li Gongfu come back with a young man, and the master of his own house was indeed rude, this Li Zhutou's face was gloomy, he explained with a wry smile, "Li Zhutou, my wife has lost her beloved daughter, has passed out, the lord has also cried all night, and now he is looking for a doctor for treatment, the house has been messed up, and I hope that Li Zhutou Haihan"

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Li Gongfu hurriedly said, "What lady is in a coma?" My brother-in-law is a doctor, so it's better to let my brother-in-law visit him first. ”

As soon as the housekeeper heard that the brother-in-law was the doctor, he hurriedly asked Xu Xuan to go to the backyard, Xu Xuan walked quickly to the inner room, and saw a middle-aged woman on the bed lying on the bed with a pale face, short of breath, and her hands clenched.

"Doctor, my wife, what is this?" The butler asked worriedly.

Xu Xuan glanced at the housekeeper, his own hostess fainted, why was the housekeeper so nervous? What other secrets are there in it? But now is not the time to explore these things.

"Do you have Suhexiang pills in your mansion?" Xu Xuan asked

The housekeeper shook his head: "How can we, ordinary people, have that kind of medicine?" ”

Xu Xuan touched his body, and this time he came out with the acupuncture bag, so he took out the silver needle, and left the needle in the woman's ditch, Zhongchong, Yongquan, and Zusanli, and then entered it in Hegu and Taichong.

Just a moment, the woman groaned, and woke up, but the woman stared blankly at the top of the bed, and after a while, as if she remembered something, she sobbed lowly, "My miserable daughter."

Xu Xuan came to the table and prescribed a prescription, roughly adding or subtracting from the five grinding drinks. Handed it to the housekeeper, "Take it according to the prescription, twice a day, I have added jujube kernels, Fushen and other calming medicines in the prescription, the patient may have increased sleep, don't be nervous"

After doing this, Xu Xuan said to Li Gongfu, "Okay, brother-in-law, let's go to the scene of the murder and have a look."

Only then did Li Gongfu take Xu Xuan to the victim's bedroom.

Although the ancients called the woman's residence the embroidery building, most of the women's houses were actually a courtyard close to their parents.

The smell was somewhat familiar, but Xu Xuan couldn't remember what it was. At this time, Li Gongfu came to the door, "Xu Xuan, you get ready, it's a little bloody inside." “

Xu Xuan nodded, just now Li Gongfu said, the deceased was half eaten by something, he was prepared, Li Gongfu opened the door, Xu Xuan stepped in, but Li Gongfu did not follow up, and the other catchers were standing far away at the gate of this courtyard.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Xuan couldn't help but have a little blockage in his throat, and his stomach was even more upside down, only to see that the deceased was indeed half eaten, but he was not eaten half by something, but half of the skin and flesh of his body was eaten, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The blood sprayed all over the room, obviously the dead person was bitten to death by the other party alive, the broken porcelain in the room, the tables and chairs that fell down, obviously the woman had struggled, but such a loud voice, no one heard the maids and servants outside, and even Xu Xuan could see the traces of the woman's hands scratching on the table when she was pressed to the table and eaten alive......

Xu Xuan walked around the room, looked at the bloody corpse again, he sighed, took a piece of cloth from this bed, and covered the corpse, although the flesh and blood were blurred, after all, it was also a girl.

However, after he took the cloth, a gust of wind blew, and he saw that the sheets hanging down by the bed were lifted by the wind, Xu Xuan's eyes followed, but he was stunned, only to see a thin layer of soil sprinkled on the side of the bed.

"Brother-in-law, call a few people to come over!" Xu Xuan hurriedly shouted.

Li Gongfu stood outside the door, he really didn't want to see this corpse, otherwise they would have collected the corpse a long time ago, where would they wait for the yamen to come over? At this time, hearing Xu Xuan's shout, he hurriedly beckoned, and a few catchers at the gate of the courtyard reluctantly walked in.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw that the corpse lying on the table had been covered with a cloth, and everyone was slightly relieved in their hearts, only to hear Xu Xuan shouting, "Come here, help me move this bed!" ”

The wooden bed of this kind of large family is wide and thick, and the whole is carved with solid wood, and there are three or four hundred catties of a bed, but fortunately, several people of the yamen are also practicing the family, and a few people are lifting the wooden bed to the side, and when they see the situation under the wooden bed, everyone exclaimed, only to see that under the bed, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.

"Could it be that the murderer got in through the hole under this bed?" The catcher next to him looked at the entrance of the cave and asked.

Xu Xuan came to the entrance of this cave, pinched a pinch of soil, sniffed, and Li Gongfu on the side also squatted at the entrance of this cave, pinched a few handfuls of soil from this mound, and his brows wrinkled, "Our Qiantang water veins are shallow, it has rained a lot these days, and you can leach out water by digging a little underground, how did this guy get in from this underground hole?" ”

He took the leg of the chair next to him, tied the ignition thing, lit it and threw it into the hole, only to see the torch fall into the hole for a long time before it stopped falling, Xu Xuan according to the falling time, silently calculated, "It's about a foot three away from us." ”

"Why don't I go down and have a look?" Li Gongfu couldn't help but want to go down.

Xu Xuan followed the torch under the cave and saw the digging marks in the cave clearly, but shook his head, "No need to go down, brother-in-law, you look at the excavation marks on the cave wall, it is not dug by people at all, and the underground is damp, the cave wall must not be solid, if the person goes down, the hole collapses, and the person who goes down will not be able to save it." ”

Li Gongfu also saw the traces of the entrance of the cave, as well as the traces of animals crawling on the mound, he nodded with a pale face, this kind of traces, as a southerner, he can be very clear

"Brother-in-law, go back and tell the adults, this should be a case of a centipede coming out of the ground to hurt people, this may have something to do with the missing people in Qiantang these days, it's better for your brother-in-law to gather the missing people together and see if there is anything in common." Xu Xuan stretched his waist and said.

"Okay, brother-in-law, the matter is over, the case is solved, if it's okay, I'll go back first?"

After Xu Xuan finished speaking, he didn't linger here, turned around and walked out.

Li Gongfu originally felt that the case had been solved, and he was happy in his heart, but at this time, he suddenly remembered that although the case was solved by himself, what if the county lord let him arrest this guy? Although his brother-in-law's martial arts are not as high as his own, but this brain is indeed more flexible than himself, if this kid pays attention to himself, he has a better chance of succeeding in catching this centipede, and he hurriedly stopped Xu Xuan, "Xu Xuan, don't go, don't go, you have helped your brother-in-law find the murderer, why do you have to help your brother-in-law catch this thing back?" “
