After Fu Xiaotian took them down the mountain, they came to the street, and at this time on the street, the people who set up stalls in the temple fair had begun to solicit customers to do business.

At this time, Fu Xiaotian casually found a pancake vendor and asked, "This little brother, let me ask, did you see the watchman last night?" ”

The peddler said without thinking: "Official, you don't need to ask, it was almost time for us to start closing the stalls last night, and many merchants on this street have seen it." ”

"Oh, have you all seen it? What about the future? Have you heard? ”

The peddler scratched his head, a little puzzled, "Well, we're all asleep, so we probably didn't hear it." ”

"But I heard from the people in our row this morning, and last night I vaguely saw a puppet-headed man walking down the street. However, they all felt that they had just read it wrong, so they didn't think much about it. ”

When Fu Xiaotian heard this, this peddler actually said this, and his eyes immediately widened and said, "There is such a thing? ”

Who would come out with a puppet for no reason, is it really a puppet?

How could it be, Fu Xiaotian didn't believe it, it must be the murderer's method to deceive everyone.

After asking just now, Fu Xiaotian probably also knew that this fight might be followed by the murderer at the time of the child. Therefore, the people did not hear the sound of the gong after the son.

Since puppets appeared at the scene of the crime, and the people also saw puppets, the most suspicious thing now should be the puppet troupe. So the three of them went to this puppet troupe, but at this time, the puppet troupe seemed to be not in the place where it was performing, but in a restaurant.

After inquiring about the location of the restaurant, the three of them hurried there.

Walking into this restaurant, you can see that the first floor below is the dining hall, and the upper floor is the guest room. Since there were relatively few people eating at this time, this little two saw Fu Xiaotian and them at once.

"Hey, county master, why are you here, sit down quickly, I'll pour you some tea to drink."

Fu Xiaotian nodded slightly, and after sitting down, Xiao Er quickly came over with a pot of tea.

"Phew, how did you get this tea, why does it smell of ginger?"

Xiao Er looked at him puzzled, "My lord, isn't this normal?" We all drink this tea like this, and you don't feel uncomfortable when you look at this little brother. ”

Fu Xiaotian turned his head and looked, oh, don't say it, this Yang Sili drank it with energy, and he was very intoxicated.

"Hey, I said, there is ginger in this tea, are you so drunk?"

Yang Sili smiled slightly, "My lord, are you a turtle, have you always had the discomfort of putting ginger in this tea?" ”

Well, he really hasn't experienced this yet, of course he doesn't know.

At this time, Fu Xiaotian asked Xiao Er: "Let me ask you, where do the people of this puppet troupe live in those rooms upstairs?" ”

Xiao Er thought about it carefully, and then said: "They live in three rooms, two rooms are several people huddled together, and one room is a female mute. ”

"Huh? Female mute? ”

"So, you call them all down to me, and say I have something to interrogate."

"Okay!"

After that, the shopkeeper walked up to the second floor and began to knock on the doors one by one, and after waiting for a while, the people from their puppet troupe walked down from the upper floor and stood in front of Fu Xiaotian in unison.

Seeing them coming down, Fu Xiaotian immediately got up and observed them carefully. Just look at this troupe, there are six men and one woman, and it seems that they are all in their thirties.

However, this is not surprising, after all, singing is different from other industries, it requires artistic accumulation and precipitation.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xiaotian put his hands behind his back and asked sharply: "Tell me, what were you all doing last night?" ”

Hearing this, they were all at a loss, and at this time, one of the middle-aged men who looked a little older said respectfully: "My lord, last night, we had packed up our things and returned to the inn, the brothers were all there, and no one went out." ”

"Oh, really?"

Then, Fu Xiaotian walked to the mute girl's side again and took a closer look. Just look at her black and bright hair, combed with small braids, curved eyebrows, eyes as bright as stars, red lips and white teeth, born a pure one.

It's a pity that it's a dumb person, this is the fly in the ointment.

I only heard Fu Xiaotian cough, moistened his throat, and asked, "This girl, last night, were you there?" Can anyone prove it? ”

The mute woman waved her hand and shook her head, indicating that she was really inside last night.

At this time, the old man on the side continued: "My lord, she is a mute, her name is Fleur, and we are the puppeteers of the puppet troupe, and she is very powerful. ”

"I remember last night when I came out to wake up at night, I saw the shadow of Fleur in the room."

"Well, since you said so, then Miss Fleur's will be fine for the time being."

Suddenly, Fu Xiaotian's voice became a little louder and said: "Listen, there was a murder last night, and there was a puppet doll next to the deceased, so the biggest suspect now is you!" ”

"Little Er, pay attention to their room tonight!"

Fu Xiaotian said to him.

"Okay, no problem, sir."

With that, Fu Xiaotian turned around and left the restaurant and returned to the county office.

Back at the county office, Fu Xiaotian hurriedly found Zhuge Iron and Steel, took out the charm he ripped off behind the puppet, and asked him: "Mr. Steel, do you recognize this talisman?" ”

Zhuge Iron and Steel took a sip of wine, took the talisman over, and hesitated for a moment, "This, the talisman is a little sloppy, it is not drawn by a professional person at first glance, but it can barely be seen." ”

"Mr. Steel, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly."

Fu Xiaotian urged.

Zhuge Iron and Steel said with a somewhat cold face: "This should be the Taoist soul devouring talisman, the legend can shatter this person's soul, and he will never be able to be reborn!" ”

"However, this will not be true, but it is a very vicious talisman."

"Oh, that's the case, it seems that the murderer hates beating him very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have cursed like this. However, what kind of hatred does this beater have with him? ”

Fu Xiaotian felt that his head was about to explode at this time, such a difficult case, he didn't know how to investigate it now.
