When he washed his face in the morning, Shanhai felt that there was a commotion downstairs.

Shi Wuqi opened the window and looked downstairs, people ran to the same side one after another, and he said that something must have happened.

They hurriedly packed up, and as soon as they went out, they bumped into Mu Wan and Dai Luan, who came out together, and led Miss Qi. Several people trotted over together, and that direction was where the Jiangyuan Bridge was. Seeing that there were more and more people, they also quickened their pace.

Many people crowded the river, pointing at the water. Ah Luan was the first to squeeze to the front and saw something floating in the water. Round, wrapped around a handful of algae. There was also a person standing by the tree, trembling, unable to stand up.

After inquiring, I found out that he was the second child of the hotel next to him. When he got up early in the morning and washed his face by the river, he saw something floating in the distance. He didn't care, thinking that the clothes of the washerwoman had drifted down. It wasn't until a magpie stood up and was startled away by a school of fish that he stepped on the thing that he saw that it had a nose and eyes.

It's a human head.

The screams attracted people nearby. Now, everybody is gathered around here, pointing at the head. I heard that someone has already reported to the official and is on his way here.

"Is it indeed a human head?"

Shanhai asked, his eyes still staring at it. Shi Wuqi looked at it carefully and nodded slightly.

Shanhai asked again if he could summon his corpse.

"Then you have to know where it is. I have to get my head up before I can ask. ”

At this time, the people from the government came. There was a catcher who quickly used a fishing net to pocket it, pulled the rod and came over, and when he pulled it, it was indeed a male head. After seeing what it was, the curiosity was frightened by the satisfied people. Only a few of them were still there.

A man with a saber just picked up Xiao Er, who was still trembling, and asked the witness to follow them. Immediately after, he turned his head:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Shanhai and Wuqi glanced at each other, and the latter spoke first.

"We were travelers from another country and happened to be passing through. As for me, I happen to be a coroner, what about this......"

"Go, go, don't mess around, we have an autopsy. Be careful to arrest you as suspects. ”

As he spoke, the man shook his net bag forward, and immediately threw a stain of water on the ground. He took a step back, nearly splashing the water. He thought for a moment, and then said:

"Wait. This is a Taoist who can talk to the dead. ”

The officials who had walked a few steps turned their heads and stared at the mountains and seas.

“…… Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Shhhh

Several people looked at him suspiciously, and the old Taoist robe on his body looked like something else. The leader thought for a moment, waved his hand, and told them to follow. Walking on the road, Shanhai still had a worried face, not knowing what the surname Shi was going to do. He just said that he didn't care about anything, just recited a few incantations to the heads of people they didn't understand, and then made two more strokes.

Mu Wan frowned all the way, not knowing what the hell he was going to do.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived in the backyard of the yamen, and they put their heads on the shelves and cut their hair. The man's head was slightly swollen, and he had been soaking in the water for most of the night. Xiao Er was timid, so he relieved himself, glanced at it, and immediately turned his head away, saying that he didn't know. But when someone came to report to the official and said who his family had lost, he didn't know how long it would take.

There is no way, I have to ask the Taoist chief to do it himself.

The smoky mystery is carried out, and a set of seemingly professional processes has almost bluffed the people around him. It's just that Daoist Rin still has no place in his heart, and he doesn't know if Shi Wuqi's abacus is professional enough. It was expected that he should not be guilty of this kind of thing, so he reluctantly agreed.

Finally, he pointed forward the old whisk that the yamen had lent him, and the human head trembled in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone stared at him carefully, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his lips opening and closing up and down, grinning in a frightening manner, as if he had no rhythm to say something. But he couldn't make a sound, just gestured with his mouth open. In the end, the whole head rolled off the table, and the crowd was so frightened that no one dared to step forward.

Shi Wuqi walked up, picked it up, and put it in its place.

"I'm sure everyone heard that." He turned his back to his hands and was full of confidence.

Talking nonsense with your eyes open.

"What do you hear?" Xiao Er asked dryly.

"He said his body was hidden under the bridge."

A group of people looked at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze, go fish!"

A bunch of people copied the guy and went.

The people gathered in a large circle, and several officials stopped the crowd. The entire yamen found a bold and watery person, who shouted in the crowd for a long time and promised a bounty before two big men stood up.

"Can't you swim without abandonment?"

"Yes, but the clothes will be dirty."

"Oh."

Dai Luan and Mu Wan rolled their eyes at the same time. Only Rin Dao Chang leaned over and asked him in a low voice, is there anything else?

"The corpse parts are limited, and I know that the place is good. You have to wait for them to fish them up before they can touch them. ”

Only then did Mu Wan react, he may have touched the section of the wound when he picked up the head.

"By the way, what's wrong with that incision?" She asked.

"Yo, could you have thought of this?"

"What about you?"

"The meat bubbles are a little hairy, but the whole thing is quite flat. But the incision in the vertebrae is smooth, not like it was split by a person. ”

Ah Luan turned his head and asked, "You mean, maybe the monster did it?" ”

"No," he pointed to the bridge, "over there, I saw that bridge last night." ”

"You saw that too?"

Shanhai immediately looked at Ah Luan: "Don't you have to ...... But I haven't seen it. ”

"Yes, there are people. I saw her standing still, and she didn't get in the way. The crowd was crowded but she didn't move, and someone walked past her. I guess she's not human. ”

Ah Luan gestured beside him: "Isn't it, wearing a purple robe and embroidered with gold-rimmed flowers?" ”

"That's true."

Shanhai and Mu Wan glanced at each other, not knowing what to say. But they had some suspicions in their hearts that the deceased was indeed inextricably linked to this Hashihime.

When the sun is in the sky, it can't melt the stubborn hearts of passers-by. I'm afraid that after a while, I will catch it and run faster than before.

After fishing for a long time, a man finally came out with a ball of something in his hand. Flesh-colored, whitish bubbles. Shanhai was shocked, thinking that it would be another head. But when he swam to the shore and put it on the ground, they came up to see it, and found that it was a piece of flesh smaller than a human head.

…… Cuts of meat?

It is cylindrical and has neat cuts at the front and back. Shi Wuqi glanced at it and said:

"It's ...... A thigh, near the knee. ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and they didn't even scream when they knew.

The case of corpse mutilation. Now it's even more troublesome.

"This bridge hime ...... What a grudge you have to have with him. Shi Wuqi muttered. When the people heard the word Qiaoji, they immediately began to discuss it. Everyone felt that the deceased must have been a negative man.

The officials were in a daze, and they didn't calm down. Shanhai walked up and asked them about the cases of the previous years, and the prefect hurriedly told them that they could go back and transfer the previous cases. As he spoke, another official came up, clutching half a bone in his hand, and he didn't know where it was. I exchanged many people who helped back and forth, and after fishing for a full hour, I still didn't find anything. Maybe some of them have already flowed down the river, and the head is stuck on the side of the bridge pier to make people see.

Another way is to block the dam upstream and wait for the water to fall out. But this matter is troublesome to operate, and the prefect said that the river embankment was repaired from above, and the gate must be closed, so someone must be sent to find the county government. But when the county approves it, I'm afraid it's almost enough for the fish to eat.

Dead horses should be live horse doctors. Shi Wuqi rolled up his sleeves, and regardless of the previous ritual of leaning on the mountains and seas, he directly touched the two corpses. After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.

"It's not the same person."

The people were amazed, and immediately turned their heads to each other. The prefect's face was a little bad, and he lowered his voice and told Shanhai that there were indeed missing people in the past two years, but no one thought about the legend of Jiangyuan Bridge. Every year, people come here and people leave, and as long as no one reports to the official, the devil knows who is missing.

As for this bone, it is strange to everyone. How could a corpse that had only been soaked for a day be eaten clean by fish and shrimp?

"Shi Gongzi, what else do you know?"

"Hmm. This broken bone was a workman when he was alive, and the corpse was ...... I think it's the head, it wasn't a local when he was alive, he was a businessman. Aside from their similar age, there is no direct relationship between the two at the moment, perhaps because the bodies are not complete enough. Several faces were also seen, but they were unsure of the connection. ”

As he spoke, the last one to help climb ashore. She was a fisherwoman, and although she was not very beautiful, she was strangely sturdy. She climbed ashore, and Mu Wan, who was close, pulled her. Then she reached out and grabbed some dirty stones into her hands. She looked closely, and saw that it was not a stone, but a few pieces of Bai Sensen's vertebrae.

"I'm ......"

She closed her mouth in time and swallowed back the rivers and lakes that were about to come out. Shi Wuqi grabbed it, coiled it in his hand a few times, and rubbed off a lot of sludge.

The fisherwoman wrung the water from the hem of her clothes and said to him, "Pull out of the mud at the bottom of the river." ”

"Thank you. It's a bit eyebrow-raising. ”

Several people came up and asked.

"What's the eyebrow?"

"They know the same woman. But I don't know what they have to do with each other......"

"What kind of woman?" The prefect asked.

"The woman with short hair pulled up to the back and tied a pigtail. The eyebrows are clear, but there is a small sore on the left side of the face, but it is not a big deal. When you laugh, the sores hide in the dimples, so the left dimple appears deeper than the right. ”

The fisherwoman just put on her shoes and answered: "Isn't this the shearling girl in Zhennan?" Her man seems to be a businessman, right? ”

The mountains and seas immediately confessed.

"Me and Shi ...... No, Mu Wan will go with me, go now. Shi Gongzi and A Luan, went back to the yamen to investigate those old cases. ”

They each nodded and answered.
