Fantasy fans., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the prosperous Ming Dynasty!

There is another corpse in the Zhenfu Division and Jiang Chong and Xu Tongzhou as companions, it is the Chen style of the Terracotta Division - this person who seems to be connected to the previous three cases and is likely to be the murderer behind the scenes, is actually dead, and he died very strangely, he was drowned in the well in his backyard.

When Yao Gan and the other Jinyi guards searched for his whereabouts all over the city, they acted more rigidly, and went directly to Chen Shi's house to arrest and look for clues, where the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division found his body floating in the well, and then quickly notified the people of Jinyi Wei and handed over the body.

So when Lu Zhen heard the news and rushed back to the Zhenfu Division, Chen Shi had already placed it in the morgue, and there was a simple inspection of it. At this time, this person was making a report to Lu Jin: "Dudu, judging from the condition of the corpse, he did drown after falling into the well, and some water could still come out of his mouth and nose just now." And he didn't have any other fatal wounds on him......"

Lu Zhen observed the corpse in front of him while listening to the report, and his brows tightened deeply: "Tell me, why did he die in his own well so strangely?" It can't be that you stumble and fall in. ”

Several subordinates immediately nodded in agreement: "That's impossible, not to mention that he has a martial arts, even ordinary adults can't be so careless." "What's more, his identity is still so sensitive, how could he suddenly drown in a well after being found suspected? This can only be someone killing people, just like Xu Tongzhou and Sun Fang before......

Lu Jin's gaze swept back and forth over the corpses from time to time, and his heart was also rapidly turning thoughts. The connections between these cases actually came out earlier, but he always felt that in addition to what had been discovered now, there were other connections hidden between several cases, but where were they? Maybe after this point is investigated, a breakthrough can be found in a few cases that still have no definite clue.

"There are already four dead people, and in just a few days, there have been four murders in the city of Beijing, and all of them are so strange - one was burned to death, one was crushed to death by a grain bag, one was killed by a knife, and one was simply drowned in his own well. Is there any other connection than mutual cause and effect? Lu Zhen had words in his mouth, but he didn't have a clue for a while.

At this moment, Cui Heng, who had only been accompanying and couldn't help much in handling the case, suddenly whispered: "Could it be ......" and then stopped again.

But Lu Zhen quickly responded, and turned his head to look at him: "Cui Zhenfu can see what clues?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, even if you are whimsical, the official will not laugh at you. ”

"Xia Guan thinks that if you want to talk about the internal connection of these cases, it seems that the only thing you mentioned about them is the cause of their death." Cui Heng hesitated, but still said his thoughts.

"The cause of death? What do you mean by that? Not only Lu Jin, but several other people present also had questions.

Cui Heng hurriedly explained: "The governor also said just now that the first Jiang Chong died of being burned by fire; The second Xu Tongzhou was crushed to death by a bag full of grain...... In fact, his death can also be regarded as being buried alive with grain, right? After seeing the people nodding, he continued: "So his death is connected to the word earth, and then connected to the previous case, we can get a process from fire to earth." ”

"From fire to earth...... Lu Jin's heart moved, and an idea that he had ignored before quickly jumped out. Others were still at a loss, a little unintelligible. Fortunately, Cui Heng did not sell Guanzi, and immediately explained: "In the Taoist saying of the five elements of yin and yang, there is the saying that the five elements are born together. Among them, fire is born of earth! ”

"The five elements are born together...... Fire is born of earth! Lu Zhen quickly continued: "Then there is earth born of gold, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, and wood gives birth to fire...... And these few people who were killed, Sun Fang, who was killed by Xu Tongzhou, died under the knife, that is, the native gold, and then Chen Shi, who died in the well water, and the gold was born ......"

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that behind the seemingly ordinary murder case, there was actually a Taoist saying of the five elements, what is this? Is it that the old man has gone down to kill people?

However, Cui Heng's next sentence moved everyone again: "If it is really as I said, these murders are related to the birth of the five elements, I am afraid that someone will die in the wood-related means in the future!" ”

Lu Zhen immediately raised his head: "What you said is right, judging from the cases that have happened so far, the other party is indeed constantly killing people according to the law of the five elements." Since he had painstakingly created so many strange cases before, this last one should not be easily let go. ”

The strange idea that I thought of in the Terracotta Division before had been completely confirmed at this moment, but Lu Zhen didn't have the slightest joy in his heart. Because even if this clue is discovered, it will still be of some help to find out the truth of the case, because in addition to knowing that there is another murder case about Mu, other clues have been completely cut off with Chen Shi's death.

Originally, he was expecting to be able to ask the other party about the instructor's situation, but now it seems that he is just a tool used by the real murderer, and once he is used up, he will become the target of the other party's killing.

Many people around also obviously thought of this, so soon, the excitement caused by Cui Heng's remarks faded, and everyone fell silent again, because there was still nowhere to start with this case.

Seeing the confusion and helplessness of his subordinates, Lu Jin hurriedly said encouragement: "Don't be discouraged, at least we have found a lot of clues." And I also know that the murderer killed them in order to set up this invisible situation, since this is the case, it means that he must have his own purpose, and it must be related to some Taoist sayings. As long as you follow this clue and continue to look for suspicious people in the city, this official believes that he will be able to find out this murderer! ”

"My subordinates understand, we will try our best to find clues and catch the murderer!" The others were a little refreshed and hurriedly clenched their fists in response.

"It's not early now, and everyone is tired from running around these days, so let's go back and rest first. Wait for tomorrow, and then each has his own ideas to find the murderer. Lu Zhen waved his hand and let everyone disperse, but Cui Heng was left behind.

"Cui Zhenfu, now we know the Five Elements here, and you are the only one, so this official hopes that you can give me more hints."

"This ...... Governor, in fact, the lower officials only know a little about Taoist affairs, and it is really difficult to say why. If you really want to know more about it, you can go to the Baiyun Temple in the south of the city and ask the Yanchong Taoist there, maybe he can see more things from it. Cui Heng hurriedly said modestly, and said such a person he knew well.

"Yanchong Dao Chief? Are they in the south of the city again? Lu Zhen quickly frowned. These four cases all happened in Nancheng, Beijing, and now this Taoist named Yanchong is also in Nancheng, will there be any connection between the two?

It can't be blamed that Lu Zhen is so suspicious, but there are too few clues in his hand now, so he can only guess and suspect anyone and things around him. However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, early tomorrow morning, I should really go to the Baiyun Temple to meet this Yanchong Daoist, whether it is looking for clues or flaws......

The wind blows tighter and tighter on a winter night in Beijing, whining, as if some unknown ghost is howling. Especially in the temples where the trees are planted, the wind and the whistling sound of the branches swaying, always giving people the terrifying feeling that those trees have turned into ghosts.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, which did not really illuminate the quiet room, nor did it illuminate the appearance of the two people sitting on either side of the table. Only a deep voice sounded slowly in the room—

"You really have good intentions in setting up this game, and for this reason, you have mobilized and put in the only few of us in the capital. If you fail, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

"At this point, don't worry too much. You also know why I set up this game, now that things are developing in the direction we want, it won't be long before the ultimate goal will fall into my game, and when he dies, not only will he have revenge, but this great tomorrow will also fall apart in an instant. ”

"Huh...... You're still the same confident or arrogant as you used to be. Do you think that the brocade guards who are investigating this matter will really be toyed with by you as you expected? ”

"At least they haven't found even a single clue that is really useful, have they? And I believe that as long as they, especially the self-righteous Lu Jin, follow the clue I gave them to investigate, they will only get farther and farther away from the truth. By the time he realized he was looking in the wrong direction, it was too late to look for other clues. Don't you see this better than I do? ”

"That's it, I've already accompanied you to this point, and it's impossible to get out again. In that case, I can only hope that your arrangement will really succeed. However, I still want to remind you that this matter is related to the life and death of all of us, and you must be careful not to be negligent in the slightest. ”

"Of course...... I've been preparing for the final blow since I came to Beijing, and now that everything is in place, I'm not going to let things change again. But I'm also worried about you here, maybe the brocade guards will find out about you sometimes. ”

"You can rest assured that I won't be a drag on you. And you're still far from it, I've already come to my senses. ”

"Then ...... Please. ”

With that, one of them got up slightly, squeaked open the door, and disappeared into the night wind. The other, after sitting for a while, sighed softly and reached out to pick up the oil lamp.

The faint and flickering light of the oil lamp shone on the bitter face of a white-haired Taoist with a clear appearance......

There is another corpse in the Zhenfu Division and Jiang Chong and Xu Tongzhou as companions, it is the Chen style of the Terracotta Division - this person who seems to be connected to the previous three cases and is likely to be the murderer behind the scenes, is actually dead, and he died very strangely, he was drowned in the well in his backyard.
