At this time, he found something and said, "My lord, there is a discovery." Zeng Luoqiao hurried over and said, "What did you find?" He didn't dare to hesitate, and said, "My lord, if the lower official didn't guess wrong, the deceased's heart would have been hollowed out." Zeng Luoqiao was a little unconvinced, because the deceased did not have a single wound on his body, and it was already very strange that the blood in his body was drained, and now he said that the heart was hollowed out, he didn't want to believe it He has never encountered such a thing for so many years. "How do you know?" ”

He said, "My lord, you see that the corpses of ordinary people will become much heavier than when they were alive after death, but if you gently lift their corpses and try to do it, not only is it not heavy, but it is lighter than usual, and although they have all become dried corpses, but if you gently press their stomachs, you will find that they are almost empty inside, so I deduce that their hearts have been hollowed out." ”

Zeng Luoqiao did what he said, and felt that what he said was good, so he let him cut the stomach of the deceased on the spot, and sure enough, as he said, the deceased's internal organs were gone, which was even more suspicious. With his years of experience in handling cases, there is absolutely no one in this world who can do it, but what is the human association?

A catcher came soon, handed over a six-distinguished snowflake, and said, "My lord, we found this on the front wall of the main hall, Zeng Luoqiao took it from the guard's hand, and thought to himself, what does this mean, was it left by the murderer?"

In the Mu Mansion, Mu Jinze also heard about the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, and just now the secret guard came to report that the people of Dali Temple also found a six-dimensional snowflake in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he took out the previous six-dimensional snowflake from his clothes and looked at it, and then looked up at the clear sky, his face became heavy, and said, "It seems that this world will not be peaceful for long." "But it was a poisonous son before, who will it be this time?

It is already a well-known thing in King Ling's mansion, but Murong Xian still doesn't know anything, just drinking wine as always, and now it is none of his business for him even if the sky falls, but today he did not drink and sleep, but planted the kind of flowers that Leng Jiucheng liked to plant in his lifetime in the courtyard of Xiyang. Over the years, he has asked Feng Shengyi to look everywhere to find the flowers and trees that Leng Jiucheng had planted in the courtyard of Jiyang before, and planted them in the same position that she had planted before, but he had never planted them, no matter what method he used, as long as the flowers and trees planted in them had never lived for a day, and every time they were all dried up in less than a day, but even so, he never gave up.

Mu Jinze, Xie Yuchu and Lin Xiuheng came to see him again, but found that it was a miracle that he was not sleeping, and thought that he should have slept for a few days and nights this time, but he didn't expect to wake up in two or three days, but this is okay, he has almost slept like a waste person over the years.

Xie Yuchu still died as always, and said, "Strings, you don't want to plant it, every time you plant it, you can't live for three days, so why bother." Before the words were spoken, Murong Xian directly glanced at him with a cold killing eye, which frightened Xie Yuchu to quickly change what he wanted to say, and said, "Although you can't survive for a day every time, I believe that you will be able to successfully plant it this time." After speaking, he hurriedly hid behind Mu Jinze.

Murong Xian didn't say anything, and continued to plant trees until they were planted, "Come in, do you have anything to do with me this time?" Xie Yuchu suspiciously asked Lin Xiuheng to pinch him, and said, "You pinch me, am I dreaming." Lin Xiuheng knew why he was so surprised, after all, Mu Jinze Murong Xian had never let people enter this courtyard in the past few years, even when he hid in this courtyard at first, his mother and father wanted to go in to comfort him, but he didn't let them in, but now he let them in, I really can't believe it. Lin Xiuheng also gave a big blow mercilessly.

"Ah" I only heard a pig howling, Murong Xian was unhappy, and said, "Don't howl, or I'll throw you out." Xie Yuchu immediately shut up when he heard this. After all, he knew that Murong Xian had always been a person who did what he said, so he changed the topic and said, "Xian, this time we are not only here to see you, but also to tell you good news, Yu." Before the latter words could be spoken, Bemu Jinze interrupted, and told him with his eyes that this matter should not be told to Murong Xian first, Xie Yuchu smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to say, the fruit in Ze's courtyard is very good, do you want to go picking with us and feel the joy of labor." ”

Murong Xian knew that they had something to do with him, but he didn't want to know, now he just wanted to spend the rest of his life here. As if nothing had happened, he said "no" coldly as before. But many times he can't escape if he wants to. For her, good things have barely begun.

Zeng Luoqiao checked up and down and only found some very common questions, but he still found nothing about the murderer and returned to Dali Temple, one hand around his waist and the other hand on his forehead, recalling that he had been handling cases for many years but had never encountered such a thing, he really couldn't understand how the murderer killed the dead, and what kind of hatred could make him kill people with such cruel means. What's more, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion are all masters, and it is impossible for ordinary people to kill, even if they can be killed, they should fight for a few rounds, but there is no trace of a fight from the scene, can it be said that the murderer was killed while the deceased was not paying attention, but this does not make sense, it can be seen from the scene that the deceased almost died in the courtyard, so it is not that he was killed when he didn't pay attention, but he knew but couldn't beat the murderer and was killed, and the murderer killed more than 100 people in the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight, and there was no trace of it. There were so many people around the Prime Minister's Mansion that no one heard the movement, so from the various signs at the scene, the only thing that can be explained is that it is not artificial.

Just as Zeng Luoqiao was deep in thought, a catcher came in with a beggar and said, "My lord, according to your instructions, I went from house to house to investigate suspicious people, and found this little beggar, and he said that he had seen what the murderer looked like. ”

Zeng Luoqiao hurriedly asked the catcher to bring the little beggar in to ask, and said, "You said you had seen what the murderer looked like." The little beggar was resigned, "Yes, yes." Zeng Luoqiao frightened him and said, "Next, what do I ask you, what do you answer, if you lie to me or know that if you don't answer, I have hundreds of ways to make your life worse than death, you know?" ”

The little beggar was so frightened that his feet trembled, and he quickly nodded yes. Zeng Luoqiao asked tentatively, "You said you had seen the murderer, what did he look like, whether he was male or female, you rained heavily last night, why did you appear near the Prime Minister's Mansion and you saw him killing, didn't he find you?" ”

The little beggar said in fear, "He is a ghost at all, not a human. Zeng Luoqiao didn't understand, and said, "Why do you say that." ”

The little beggar recalled the events of last night, and said, "I had already slept last night, but because I hadn't eaten for a day, I was so hungry that I couldn't do it, and I saw that it was raining very hard, and I knew that people like the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely rest very early, so I thought that while the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were asleep, I would climb in from his dog hole and steal some food." But as soon as I climbed in, I heard a loud noise, and I panicked and thought that the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion had discovered me, so I hurriedly looked for a place to hide, but at this time I saw the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion being torn apart, and then I saw a devil walk in. ”

"Can you see what the devil you said looked like?" The beggar said, "That devil has white hair, dressed in black, and the speed of the shot is very fast, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion have fallen to the ground before they can react, and when they fall, it seems that the blood on their bodies has floated into the body of the devil, and the adults are too dark and raining, and the other villains have not seen it." ”

Zeng Luoqiao Xian pondered, Gu This beggar said, that person is not a human but a devil, or a white hair, dressed in black, but why did he destroy the entire Prime Minister's Mansion? After pondering for a while, he said, "What else do you see?" And did he say anything? ”

The beggar thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, yes, sir

The villain seemed to have heard the ringing of a bell, but the rain was too heavy at that time, and the villain was not very sure, but the man did not say a word until the end of the killing. ”

At this time, the high father-in-law in the palace came again, and said, "Spread the emperor's words, and the Shaoqing of Xuandali Temple immediately entered the palace to enter the pilgrimage, and admired this." ”

Zeng Luoqiao knew that the emperor summoned him at this time, and nine times out of ten it was because of the destruction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he said to the beggar, "I know, you go down first, if you remember something, you must report it as soon as possible." After a few simple explanations, he entered the palace with Gonggong Gao.

When he went to the palace, he wanted to salute, but the emperor asked him not to salute, Zeng Luoqiao said, "I don't know what the emperor is looking for me?" The emperor asked worriedly, "Zeng Shaoqing, what progress have you made in investigating the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zeng Luoqiao shook his head and said, "Back to the emperor, nothing was found, this time the murderer is not like the past, the previous murderer's modus operandi seems to be different on the surface, but in fact it is almost the same, but this time this is very strange, not only did the scene not leave a little clue, but the murder method is very cruel, every deceased has no wounds on his body, but the blood of the deceased has been drained, and the heart has also been hollowed out, so Yichen deduced that the murderer is not a human but a monster." ”

"What?" The emperor was stunned by Zeng Luoqiao's words, he heard the report of the high prince that the Prime Minister's Mansion was destroyed by the sky overnight, and he felt that the murderer was too unscrupulous and no one in his eyes, since he dared to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the imperial city, it was too bold to be bold, but now Zeng Luoqiao told him that the murderer was a monster, and the emperor was furious, and said, "Zeng Shaoqing, Ze I order you to find out who the murderer is to Lian as soon as possible within ten days, otherwise I will ask you." ”

Zeng Luoqiao knew that this matter was not simple, and the emperor trusted him by giving full authority to this matter, so he was ordered to continue to investigate the case.
