When he said the last sentence, Xiao Chumo suddenly raised his head, and his eyes looked into a dense bush of leaves as if unintentionally. The leaves on the other side soon rattled, but after a moment they were calm again, and it seemed as if something had left quickly.

Even Yu Panxi, who didn't know the slightest martial arts, noticed it, looked up at the woods over there, and asked with some confusion: "Is that ......?"

"It's just a fish that slipped through the net."

Xiao Chumo chuckled. Not so long ago, the names that the men in black used to describe the shamans who had fled were now used on themselves. When the black-clothed men who had already been captured heard his words, they raised their heads instantly, and even their faces changed a little.

The team leader of their trip was originally the best one among them in terms of martial arts and concealment, so he was not discovered by Xiao Chumo's subordinates. Originally, they thought that if one of them could go back and report to the landlord, maybe they would be able to get out of the regent palace in a few days.

But Xiao Chumo had that kind of look, he clearly knew that the team leader was hiding in the leaves there! And his last sentence was also deliberately said to him!

"You!"

A black-clothed man was so popular that he wanted to argue with Xiao Chumo, but he had just said the word "you" when he was directly interrupted by the latter.

"If you are not as skilled as others, don't talk more. If you really have anything to say, when you return to the palace, this king will have a good chat with you! ”

Xiao Chumo glanced at the man, and immediately Jingwei, who was interested, stepped forward and pointed out his dumb hole. When the rest of the people saw this, they naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

"Spread out, carefully look for clues and the corpse of the patriarch!"

An order was passed down, and the Jingwei who had come with them immediately dispersed according to the order and searched through the woods.

It's autumn now, and although the woods here are still dense from a distance, a green color, the ground has already been covered with a thick layer of dead leaves.

It has been two or three days since the assassination of the shaman patriarch, and even if it has not been windy or rainy in the past few days, there are still a lot of fallen leaves on the ground. In order to prevent hurting the body of the patriarch, the elite guards who came to search put away the swords in their hands, and could only use their hands to pick up the fallen leaves and look for them little by little.

Fortunately, although the clansman was frightened, he still remembered the location clearly. After a while, someone found the body of the patriarch in a pile of dead leaves under the tree.

"How is this possible...... Unexpectedly, unscathed! ”

Looking at the shaman patriarch who was carried out by everyone in front of him, Yu Panxi's eyes couldn't help but widen, obviously surprised.

In her past and present lives, she has seen a lot of dead people, and she has also heard a little about the various tragic situations of the dead. But she really hadn't seen anyone who died under the killer and couldn't see the wound at a glance!

Xiao Chumo didn't come over directly, but observed the traces left by the fight that day on the other side. Hearing Yu Panxi's exclamation, he naturally walked over immediately.

As the latter said, the shaman's body did not appear to have any obvious wounds, and judging from the color of his lips, it was almost impossible to rule out signs of poisoning.

"It's a bit weird......"

Xiao Chumo muttered to himself, with a thoughtful look on his face. It happened that he had already seen all the traces over there, so he ordered someone to bring back the patriarch's body first.

"Lord Wang, what should I do with these men in black? Is it necessary to be punished immediately? ”

The housekeeper of the palace saw Xiao Chumo coming back with people from a distance, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and when he saw the black-clothed people who were tied up in the back, he turned his head and asked Xiao Chumo what he meant.

The latter naturally didn't care about them at this time, and when he heard the housekeeper asking, he replied without looking back: "They are handed over to you for interrogation, no matter what method is used, you must ask them about their origin and purpose!" In addition, I will go to the city and ask someone to come over secretly. ”

"Yes."

The patriarch had been dead for two or three days, and the corpse had already stiffened, and the housekeeper could naturally see it at a glance, so he hurriedly received the order.

Yu Panxi did not stop Xiao Chumo's order. Although they knew that the patriarch's body should not be disturbed after his death, if they wanted to find out who had paid for his life, they had to find out where the fatal wound was.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is different from other places, there are several servants in the yamen alone, and they are all on duty in rotation. The butler, as the steward of the dignified regent palace, came out of the army, so he naturally kept these news in mind.

After commanding a few elite guards to put the men in black in a large prison and locked them up, he went to one of the servants himself. It took some silver to seal his mouth, and then he entered the palace through a small door at the back of the regent's palace.

"This is the corpse, take the trouble to check it, what fatal wounds are there on his body?"

The housekeeper took the servant to Xiao Chumo and saluted, and then walked to the corpse.

This room has been set up after Xiao Chumo moved out, because he was still a loyal general at that time, and it was inevitable that he would encounter assassination or need to investigate the case. Placing the corpses that need to be investigated here also avoids the destruction of people with good intentions.

That servant had only guessed that the person he was going to this time was probably a big family, after all, he was very generous, but he never thought that this housekeeper would bring him directly to the Regent's Mansion!

He saluted the butler in a daze, and was a little stunned at this time, until the latter called him several times, and finally came back to his senses.

Although he was frightened by Xiao Chumo, after so many years of hard work, this bit of craftsmanship and knowledge is still there after all.

He skillfully took off the clothes on the corpse little by little, while carefully observing the marks on it. Because the patriarch's body was already a little stiff, it was really difficult to take it off, but he seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and soon let the upper half of the corpse be exposed.

Xiao Chumo was not familiar with how to check the work, he only needed to know the results, so he left the housekeeper to watch in the room, and he went to the courtyard.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw a shadow standing under the tree in the courtyard, which seemed to be waiting for him.

Xiao Chumo walked over quickly and took the man's hand. Although the words are reproachful, they contain concern.

"Panxi, why are you here? Didn't you say don't come here? ”

Yu Panxi replied with a disapproving smile: "You can come, why can't I?" I've been on the battlefield with you, but it's just a corpse, what's so scary? ”

As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Chumo to sit down on the stone bench beside her.

"What's going on inside, have you found any clues?"

"I have just started the autopsy, and I guess I will have to wait for a while. I told the butler to keep an eye on the corpse and try not to destroy the corpse. Come out and ask me again when necessary. ”
