Duan Qi came to Hongyuan Coal Mine this time because his cousin Yuanba was killed.

Yuan Ba is the son of Duan Qi's aunt and the bookkeeper of Bai Weifule Casino. Later, after Duan Qi met Bai Wei, in order to please Duan Qi, Bai Wei simply let Yuanba become the owner of the gambling house, and everything up and down was taken care of by him. After several years of hard work, Yuanba made a lot of money, bought real estate in the county, took a lady, and was in a good place. But he was very happy and sad, and within a few days of his good life, he was killed. The eldest aunt cried and shouted to Duan Qi for someone, Duan Qi was anxious and hateful, and vowed to catch the murderer and peel his skin and dig out his heart.

However, more than two years have passed, and no clues have been found, and this shocking case has become an unsolved case.

Duan Qi never gave up, and spent a lot of money on his brothers and hunting fast, and offered a heavy reward for catching ghost killers.

In the past two years, ghost killers have often appeared, and many heroes have been murdered, making the people of Luoshan panic. In the past two years, the White Dragon King's subordinates and the county government have not been idle, although more than a dozen suspects have been arrested, the real culprit has never been found.

At the beginning, Xincai was killed, which did not alarm Bai Wei at all, and later Zeng Cheng and Zeng four brothers were killed, which attracted Bai Wei's attention. The Zeng brothers were originally Hebei merchants, and they were recommended by Wang Xueqiang, the general judge of Xinyang Prefecture, and were supported by the state government. The Zeng brothers have their own unique skills, and their arrival seriously threatens Bai Wei's hegemony in Luoshan, but Bai Wei is deeply rooted and is a local snake, and the Zeng brothers still dare not be too public, and the two sides are evenly divided in Luoshan. The catastrophe of the Zeng brothers made Bai Wei wonder very much, in addition to his own ability to put the Zeng brothers to death in Luoshan, who else has the ability and courage?

After some analysis, Bai Wei and Duan Qi believed that it must be the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came from other places to rob money and kill people. However, Bai Wei's analysis was judged to be disagreed with by Wang Xueqiang, Wang Xueqiang suspected that Bai Wei did it, and strictly ordered Zhao Zelun, the classic history of Luoshan County, to secretly investigate Bai Wei, and it was not until Yuan Ba also died that the secret investigation of Bai Wei was lifted, because according to the post-mortem examination, the wounds of the deceased Xincai, Zeng Cheng, Zeng Si, and Yuan Ba were caused by the same wooden stick, and Bai Wei could not have poisoned Duan Qi's cousin.

This time, Wang Xueqiang and Zhao Zelun believed Bai Wei and Duan Qi's judgment: there was a terrible killer lurking in Luoshan.

The reason why it is said that it is from other places, not locals, is one, not a group of people, is because Zhao Zelun investigated the whole county through formal means, and Bai Wei also searched in Quanxinyang through the means of rivers and lakes, and did not find that there was no one in the local area who had such ability and such motives, and every time he committed a crime, he came and went without a trace, not like it was done by many people.

In view of the fact that the murderer robbed the Zeng brothers and Yuanba of a lot of money, it is estimated that they will appear in Qinglou, casinos and other places, so the government and Bai Wei will focus on these places for secret investigations, but there has been no information in the past two years. Everyone unanimously came to the conclusion that this terrible killer is half human and half ghost, and it is impossible to prevent and capture.

Duan Qi didn't want to believe this conclusion, so he came to the Hongyuan Mine, where the four brothers Zeng Cheng and Zeng died in a ravine not far from the mine, and Duan Qi hoped to find a new breakthrough here.

Duan Qi asked Zhao Dezhi: "How have the mine safety measures been handled recently, and the last time the people made trouble were settled, right?" ”

Zhao Dezhi said: "Seventh sister, don't worry, it's all right." Last time, the people made trouble, saying that our mine polluted the water source and damaged the stream, so that they could not drink water, and they fought with Wu Youzhi. Later, these people also reported to the county government, and the county order sent Tang Xi to visit with a few arresters, I invited him to have a meal, gave him a bribe, and the slippery ghost went back happily. ”

Duan Qi said: "Be careful in everything in the future, don't make too much trouble, especially don't make a lot of trouble, if you insist on one or two people who don't want to die, you should also do it secretly." ”

Zhao Dezhi echoed and said: "Yes, the seventh sister can rest assured, when Tang Xi first did the head catcher, I still couldn't figure out the bottom, a little unable to let go, and then after a few temptations, this guy is five greedy to catch fast, greedy for money, greedy for sex, greedy for gambling, greedy for wine, greedy for sleep, just not greedy for merit, and his brother is completely opposite, very easy to deal with." ”

"His brother? Who is his brother? Zeng Qingbo asked strangely. Zhao Dezhi asked, and prevaricated impatiently: "You don't know if you say it, hurry up and toast the seventh sister, this is the right thing, hehe." ”

Seeing that Zeng Qingbo still didn't understand, Duan Qi slowly swallowed: "Sister, this Tang catcher has an elder brother named Tang Jun, who used to be a fast catcher, ouch, that notarization, it's really admirable, and he is a rare good person." Tang Jun is also greedy, what is he greedy for, he is not greedy for money, not greedy for sex, not greedy for gambling, not greedy for wine, not greedy for sleep, he is greedy for merit, he wants to be promoted, hehe, it's a pity, God is jealous of talents, and he died young. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Qi laughed heartily. After laughing, he said to Zhao Dezhi: "Hey, Dezhi, you said that these two brothers have completely opposite temperaments, whether they are brothers or not, I wonder." ”

Zhao Dezhi also laughed and joked: "Isn't it that the elder brother of the catcher was born in the main room, and the younger brother of the catcher was raised by a wild prostitute?" ”

"Hahahaha......" came from the wine table with a cheerful laugh.

Tang Xi and the six people were full of wine and food, Wu Youzhi ordered the withdrawal of the seat, and proposed to play with the horse tag, Tang Xi happily agreed, Wang Xian reminded: "Head, tomorrow the county order will go to the state government for business, and we have to use horses, and the warden of the military room will tell us to go back early." Tang Xi was slightly drunk at this time, and when he saw Wang Xian blocking him from playing cards, he said angrily: "Does his warden still care about me catching my head?" Wu Youzhi echoed: "Tang Zhutou is really bold, I appreciate this style." As he spoke, he instructed Du Sheng to put on the horse tag and pull Tang Xi, Wu Guang, and Wang Xian to the table.

The cards were played until the sun set, Tang Xi had fallen asleep, and told Wang Xian to play the horse back to the city, Wu Youzhi wanted to leave six people for dinner, Tang Xi declined, hugged the money won crookedly and was about to get on the horse, and fell down after climbing a few times. Zhao Dezhi laughed upstairs and said to Wu Youzhi: "Youzhi, Tang Zhutou is drunk, how can I ride a horse, borrow my carriage to catch the head, and send it back to the county office." ”

Wu Youzhi immediately agreed, pulled a one-horse carriage, and Wu Guang helped Tang Xi into the car to sleep, and then put on the saddle, Wu Guang rode a horse to lead the way, Wang Xian drove, and the other three rode horses, and then the group headed towards Luoshan County.

The six of them slowly returned to the city, and it didn't take long for it to get dark. When he arrived at a village, dozens of people gathered on the road, and Wu Guang shouted from a distance: "Handle the case and go back to the government, wait for the villagers to get out of the way." ”

On weekdays, when the people heard that the official was coming, they would quickly get out of the way, but today it was quite strange, everyone listened to the shouting, and knew that the county government was catching quickly, not only did not get out of the way, but they all surrounded at once, and seven or eight of them cried and shouted to report to the official.

Wu Guang asked, "Why did you stop the car?" ”

One of the old men said: "My lord, listen to me in detail, the daughter of this village, Liu, married Chen Wei of Zhutang Township as his wife, that Chen Wei is not doing his job, he is good at beating his wife, some time ago he beat Liu because of trivial matters, Liu had no choice but to hide back to his mother's house, Chen Wei invited more than ten scoundrels to come to Liu's house to smash. When the villagers who rushed to hear the news saw this scene, they were all indignant, but the beaters were all local scoundrels, with knives and wooden sticks in their hands, and the leader was named Huahu, who shouted: 'Whoever cares will kill whom.' 'Who would dare to stand up for the weak, such as the weak? These wicked people swaggered away, and everyone dared to be angry here. Fortunately, God has eyes, so that all the officials come to the village, hope to arrest the murderer as soon as possible, and return justice to the Liu family. ”

"What bad luck!" Wu Guang complained bitterly, he really regretted that he had just reported his identity as a catcher in a daze, and thought secretly: "If it is other little hooligans, I Wu Guang will catch it, but this flower fox is the person of the White Dragon King, and the White Dragon King is the overlord of Luoshan, and even the county order has to respect him for three points, how dare I offend?" ”

Although I think so in my heart, but since I have met it, I can't openly slip away, after all, I am a fast catcher, and even if I want to run away regardless of idle things, the car is surrounded by everyone, and I can't leave if I want to. In desperation, Wu Guang said to everyone: "You wait for a panic, let me tell you." Wu Guang dismounted, got into the carriage and pushed the sleeping Tang Xi hard.

Tang Xi snorted drunkenly a few times, Wu Guang pushed hard, and whispered while pushing: "Head, wake up, wake up, wake up, there are gangsters making trouble in the village, how is it good?" The peasants outside the car also chimed in: "Lord Catcher, they are too rampant, beg your lord to do justice." ”

Tang Xi slept soundly, and was woken up by the noisy noise of Wu Guang and the people outside the car, and he was angry in his heart, and shouted impatiently: "Since there are villains, why don't you chase after them?" Pursue! Pursue! After ......Tang Xi finished speaking, he yawned, rolled over, and continued to fall asleep.

This can make Wu Guang confused, this is not like Tang Xi's usual style at all, it seems that he is too drunk today.

I originally expected that after Tang Xi understood what was going on, he would definitely get out of the car to appease the people, and then ask the bitter lord what happened, and then patted his chest and said that he must track down the murderer, and let the bitter lord go to the county office tomorrow to submit the case, coaxing these villagers to get out of the way and slip away, but I didn't expect Tang Zhutou to be so righteous today, and he really wanted to hunt down the wicked.

Tang Xi gave the order, but he fell asleep with his head covered, and instead pushed the problem to Wu Guang.

No matter how big the difficulties are, they need to be solved when they are piled up in front of us. Wu Guang thought about it, got out of the car, and asked everyone slowly: "Where did the gangsters run away?" Everyone pointed to the mountain road, it was a small road leading to Zhutang Township, the front of the road led to the depths of the two mountains, Wu Guang and Wang Xian looked at the black pressure of the dense forest, and their hearts shivered. However, dozens of people surrounded him, and Tang Xi also spoke, if he didn't have the courage to chase him, if these Diao people went to the county government to complain, he would not be comfortable.

Thinking of this, Wu Guang took out the tricky tricks he learned from Tang Xi on weekdays, and said loudly: "Folks, everyone bring sticks and hoes, let's chase them together, catch the gangsters, and bring them to justice." When everyone heard this, they were furious, and they picked up the guys one after another, just waiting for the catch to lead the way.

Wu Guang, Wang Xian and other five catchers took the lead and rushed forward, and everyone followed. But he didn't run far, Wu Guang said to everyone: "We are not familiar with the place, you still run in front, and we follow behind." When everyone heard this, they also felt that it was reasonable, so they all rushed to the front, thinking that there were five catchers following behind, and everyone was bold.

Seeing that everyone ran away, Wu Guang and Wang Xian discussed: "We will follow not far behind, in case of a fight in front, we will not go over, if we don't catch up after a while, they naturally can't blame us, we will let the bitter master write a letter and report it to the county government, and hand over this matter to the county magistrate." Wang Xian praised Wu Guang's high skills again and again, and Wu Guang smiled: "These are not all learned from the beginning. ”

Chen Wei couldn't swallow this breath because his wife Liu Ying refused to go home alive, so he asked Huahu for help, Huahu didn't say a word, and rushed over with his brothers violently. After entering the village, everyone first hid the sticks and swords, and Chen Wei entered the house to find out the truth. Chen Wei saw that Liu Ying's family was eating, and as soon as he beckoned, everyone rushed in with weapons and smashed them indiscriminately, not only destroying the items in the house, but also injuring Liu Ying, Liu's father Liu Quan, Liu's mother Xiang Yuhua, sister Liu Yan and others. In the process of beating Liu Yan, seeing that she was a little beautiful, Huahu also took the opportunity to hug and hug the ground and kiss a few mouthfuls, and he was so unhappy.

As soon as he was happy, Huahu couldn't help singing:

I want my sister to come to my sister and think about Lang, and Lang and my sister have a long affection.

Lang wants his sister's red dress, and his sister wants Brother Lang to drill the curtain.

The evil people laughed when they heard this.

In the depths of the night, it was eerie and terrifying, the wind blew the woods, and although there was a bright moon in the sky, it also made people shudder.

Suddenly, a dark figure stood in the middle of the road, holding a stick, not moving.

Huahu and the others were taken aback, who didn't go home so late?

This situation is really terrifying, but fortunately, there are many people in the group of Flower Fox, and they are all villains, and they also have weapons, so they are not particularly afraid. The flower fox dared to shout: "Who? Who's in front? Others clenched their weapons tightly and did not dare to speak.

"Veto!" A cold, muffled voice came from the uninvited guest.

"Veto?" Huahu said in horror: "Who is Wei Tuo?" "Everyone looked closely, the black shadow looked like a child, dressed in a robe, holding a wooden stick, like a human being.

"It's a god, it's a god in the temple," Chen Wei shouted in horror and ran away.

Liu Ying believes in Buddhism, when the relationship between husband and wife is good, she often goes to the temple with her wife to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and knows that many temples have statues of Veda gods: the face is like a child, holding a vajra, waist snake, slashing demons and demons. Therefore, as soon as he heard Wei Tuo's name and saw this fierce look, Chen Wei was so frightened that he ran away.

Chen Wei is afraid, but Huahu is not afraid, how can there be any gods in the world.

Huahu led everyone to approach step by step.

"It's not Wei Tuo, it's a ghost killer!" Another man said in horror, and immediately turned around and ran away.

You haven't heard of Veda yeto, so you don't know much about it, but who doesn't know about the ghost killer? As soon as they heard these three words, everyone suddenly felt creepy, and they all turned around and ran away, leaving Huahu alone. The flower fox was puzzled, the "ghost killer" came to him like lightning, and before the flower fox had time to parry, he was hit on the top of the head with a stick, and suddenly the blood flowed, and he whimpered.

Although the other dozen or so people ran wildly, the mountain road was rugged, the path was narrow, and it was night, everyone was extremely frightened, and they didn't run far before they fell into each other. Before everyone could get up, the fierce god "Ghost Killer" had already chased after him, and a burst of sticks came down, only to hear the ghost crying wolf, heartbreaking.

This voice, at first hearing, seems to have ten thousand demons devouring the body, and when you listen carefully, it looks like an evil ghost sucking the marrow. This scene, hearing from afar, the soul is conscientious, and the heart is panicked when you see it closely, there are 100,000 worlds in the heavens and the earth, only here is the most gloomy.

Wu Guang and Wang Xian followed lazily behind, and they grunted in their hearts, they were really unlucky today, I hope these bastards will leave quickly, and don't let the villagers catch up.

Suddenly, the villagers walking in front of them exclaimed, it turned out that someone had accidentally stepped on something in the dark, and when he looked closely, it was a person lying horizontally. Everyone saw these people covered in blood, lying on the ground without saying a word, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive, so they were so frightened that they took a few steps back, standing in the distance and not daring to approach.

Wu Guang and Wang Xian didn't know what was going on, so they stepped forward cautiously and took the torches from the villagers, the ground was covered with blood, and more than a dozen corpses fell in all directions, and they were extremely frightened. Seeing this tragic situation, Wu Guang and Wang Xian unconsciously retreated again and again. At this time, I don't know who said "there is a ghost", the villagers were so frightened that they turned around and ran, Wu Guang and Wang Xian and other five catchers saw that everyone was gone, looked up at the deep and dark mountains and forests around, and suddenly felt extremely frightened, and they couldn't care about the identity of the catcher for a while, and they fled like ducks being expelled by dogs.

Back in the village, everyone was still in shock. Wu Guang and Wang Xian pushed the sleeping Tang Xi hard, but Tang Xi was too drunk and couldn't wake up in a daze. Wu Guang was helpless, so he had to say to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, where is the head of the village?" Someone replied: "Captain Liu Wei should be at home at the west entrance of the village at this time." Wu Guangdao: "You immediately go to the lieutenant chief, let him bring someone to protect the scene, and I will immediately return to the county government to report, this matter is important and needs to be decided by the county commander." ”

Everyone said: "It's all up to the official." ”

Wu Guang and Wang Xian hurriedly returned to the city, and when they arrived at the county office, Wang Xian went to push Tang Xi again, Tang Xi opened his eyes slightly, and said angrily: "What's the matter? Wang Xian said: "Head, something happened and more than ten people died." Tang Xi was shocked, sat up suddenly, and asked in surprise: "Where are the dead people?" Wu Guang came over and told Tang Xi what had happened, and Tang Xi was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hurry, hurry, report to the county order." Tang Xi hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly ran to the door outside the room of Zhao Zelun, Zhao Zelun opened the door with sleepy eyes, and saw that it was Tang Xi, and asked, "What is the noise?" Tang Xi panicked: "My lord, it's not good, there was a homicide in Zhutang Township, and more than ten people died." Zhao Zelun was shocked, he was completely sleepy for a while, and was about to go to the county order, when he suddenly stopped and turned back and said: "The adults are asleep, or tell me tomorrow morning, you first take thirty catchers to guard, and the people of the Rest of the Sect will break the scene." ”

Tang Xi looked up at the dark night sky, and then realized that it was late at night, and the county magistrate and the adults were already asleep, and he was indeed too abrupt, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, it's all up to the adults." ”

Early the next morning, the county commander Wang Wu was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly led more than 30 people, including Gao Haitao, Zhao Zelun, and Yao Ying, who rushed to Zhutang Township. When they arrived at the scene, the investigation, drawing, and autopsy were carried out in an orderly manner, and all 15 people were hit on the head with blunt objects, causing intracranial hemorrhage and died.

Hundreds of people have been surrounded one after another, everyone is curious and nervous, the experienced Wang Wu saw this scene, and Tang Xi said: "Secretly pay attention to the suspicious people among the onlookers, according to the official's many years of experience in handling cases, the murderer may be among the onlookers." Tang Xi said: "My lord, I see it." ”

Tang Xi pretended to drink water next to him, separated the crowd and walked to the periphery to observe carefully, but after going around the crowd a few times, he didn't find anything abnormal, but saw Duan Qi with a blue face and a murderous aura. If someone else has this kind of expression, Tang Xi will definitely pay special attention, because the person with this expression is likely to be the murderer, or an insider, but the White Dragon King and Duan Qi are also secretly tracking down the ghost killer, and last night's murder case, it seems that the situation is the masterpiece of the ghost killer, and it makes sense for Duan Qi to appear here.

Wang Wu carefully inspected the scene, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought. Tang Xi didn't find anything outside the crowd, and returned to the scene, and said to Wang Wu, who was thinking: "My lord, I don't see anything abnormal. Wang Wu let out an "um" and continued to think.

At this time, Zhao Zelun came to report: "My lord, I think that this case should be committed by a ghost killer." ”

Wang Wu nodded yes and said, "Lord Zhao is right, the dead were all killed by hitting the head with a hard stick, it seems that the ghost killer has appeared again." ”

Wang Wu called Gao Haitao again and asked, "What is the high opinion of the county Cheng?" ”

Gao Haitao said: "The modus operandi is the same as that of the ghost killer, this person is ruthless, we should thoroughly investigate the outsiders of unknown origin in the county." ”

Zhao Zelun said: "A few days ago, the lower officials checked all the foreign guests who were doing business in the county but found nothing. ”

Wang Wu nodded yes, and said: "There are two adults Lao and Tang Zhutou, and they must be carefully interrogated by the village chief and the villagers, and all those who have grievances with Xin Licai and others who died under the stick of the ghost killer will be arrested and sent to the county government for trial. ”

Gao Haitao, Zhao Zelun, and Tang Xi took the order, and Wang Wu led more than ten officials to return to the house and wait for good news.
