Bright moon, white fox demon.

Soul snatcher, thousands of miles away.

Debts of iniquity reap evil fruits.

Where to escape?

Light and shadow always go hand in hand.

The brighter the place, the more shadows there will be.

Luling, the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the hometown of the detective.

Such a place should be stable and harmonious, but now it is full of shadows.

Serial murders, bewitching white foxes, and terrifying nursery rhymes.

Is there a ghost behind this, or is there a hidden conspiracy?

Dawn, dawn.

Luling is not big, and the early morning is exceptionally quiet.

At this moment, a carriage came from a distance, breaking the silence of the town.

It was a delicate and spacious carriage that only the rich could own.

The dawn gradually illuminated the earth, shining into the carriages hung with silk curtains.

There were three people sitting in the car, three people who were different and had a dusty temperament.

The young man in white was a little cold, and he was polishing a sword with his head down.

The girl in the green dress looked at the other boy stupidly, as if she was thoughtful.

The boy lifted the curtain with a folding fan and looked out with a complicated expression.

As soon as the carriage approached Luling, I heard the nursery rhyme that was spread all over the place, who was the author, when did it start, and what was the purpose?

Although he didn't know the answer, he knew that there must be a conspiracy behind it.

A nightmare that still hasn't ended!

"Phew!"

The driver whistled, and the carriage slowly stopped beside a group of children.

These children are extremely innocent, and they are singing that strange nursery rhyme.

"Bright moon, white fox demon. Soul snatcher, thousands of miles away......"

As the carriage came to a stop, the coachman leaned into the carriage.

He arched his hand towards the elegant boy and smiled.

"Childe, we're here!"

The elegant boy seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't hear the coachman's words.

Seeing this, the young man in white patted the elegant boy's shoulder with his hand.

"Brother Cha, what are you thinking? It's time to get off! ”

"Ah...... We've arrived at Luling? ”

The coachman nodded and gestured around.

The elegant boy thought for a moment, bowed slightly, and got out of the carriage.

The other two people in the carriage also walked out slowly.

The elegant boy was slightly stunned when he heard the nursery rhyme, and then walked over quickly.

"Children, who taught you to sing this nursery rhyme?"

He leaned down slowly, his tone extremely amiable.

When the children saw that he did not look like a bad man, they answered one after another.

"It was the little six sons in the east of the village who taught us!"

"Did he write this nursery rhyme?"

"No, I heard that it was taught to him by a wandering Taoist."

When the three of them heard that they were wandering Taoist priests again, they couldn't help but think of the Feng Shui Bureau in Jinling.

The girl looked at the elegant boy and opened her mouth with some hesitation.

"Xiao Lang, this Taoist priest must not be simple, should we ......?"

The young man in white didn't wait for her to finish, and he was also anxious to find the Taoist priest.

The elegant boy shook his head with a smile, and looked straight at the county office not far away.

"We are looking for a needle in a haystack to find a Taoist priest, so it is better to go to the county government to ask for an understanding first!"

The three of them slowly came to the yamen of Luling County.

It was still early in the morning, and many people gathered here to watch.

The county commander Chen Chen was sitting upright in the courtroom and arraigning the criminals.

The prisoner is a woman, but the are still charming. I saw that she was covered in blood, and she was so emaciated that she almost collapsed.

"Who is the one who kneels?"

"Your Excellency...... You've asked it a few times, so why bother? ”

Chen Chen slapped the shocked wood heavily, and his eyes glared at the woman.

"Bold! Do you dare to answer the officer's question? ”

"Lord Hui, the folk girl Cuiying is the shop of the Spring Breeze Pavilion."

"Have all the deceased in the Linghu murder case been to your store?"

"Yes...... But I didn't kill people! ”

"Haha, it's clear that you are seeking money and killing people, and you still want to quibble?"

"Although they were all killed after leaving the shop, this matter really has nothing to do with me!"

"Bold woman! I still dare to deny it! ”

"The people's daughter is wronged! Even bending will never work! ”

"Killing pays for life, don't blame the official for being ruthless!"

Chen Chen beckoned to the ancestor on the side, and the ancestor immediately brought a piece of official paper.

He grabbed the official document and threw it at Cuiying, his eyes full of disdain.

"This is the state's approval, take a look for yourself!"

Cui Ying hurriedly picked up the official document, and after reading it, her expression became more and more desperate.

"What crime did I have to be sentenced to beheading, and what is the reason of heaven?"

"You killed three people in a row, don't you deserve to die?"

"My lord, the folk girl really didn't kill anyone......

Cui Ying still wanted to plead, but Chen Chen waved his hand impatiently.

"You wretched woman, the official document is here, you can pay for the life of the deceased!"

Seeing this, the officials on both sides strode over, and pulled her down the hall without saying anything.

When the people saw that the criminals were to be brought to justice, they all rejoiced.

Cuiying wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but she was weak and unable to resist.

She was pushed out by the servants as she cried out loudly.

"Unconscious! Unconscious! If Lord Xiao is here, how can I die unjustly? ”

When the official saw her noisy, he raised his hand to fight.

Just as his hand was about to fall, he was suddenly stopped by a folding fan.

Holding the fan is a son, an elegant and extraordinary son.

Although this is the hall of the county government, he is still calm and elegant.

"Boy! This is the county government, are you going to rebel? ”

"Rebellion? If I want to rebel and not go to the palace, why do I come here? ”

The fan-wielding boy smiled slightly, but the servant was so frightened that his face was flushed.

Chen Chen saw that someone was disturbing the court, and hurriedly ordered the officials to arrest people.

All the officials are tall and big, armed with water and fire sticks, and they are very invincible.

But seeing that this son didn't panic at all, he just nodded lightly towards the door.

A figure suddenly appeared at the door, and the sky was cold.

In an instant, the figure stood still, the cold light converged, and all the big sticks broke.

The officials who were still fierce and vicious just now fell to the ground one by one**.

Chen Chen, Cui Ying and the people were all completely stunned by the scene in front of them!

"You...... What are you going to do? ”

Chen Chen pointed to the fan-wielding boy and asked tremblingly.

The fan-wielding boy smiled calmly, and his voice seemed very relaxed.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to judge with you."

"Judge? What is the reasoning? ”

"If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about her first!"

He said and pointed at the green warbler, his face slightly sympathetic and pitying.

Chen Chen didn't know who the person in front of him was, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"Master Chen, why don't you speak?"

"What's wrong with this official judging the case impartially?"

"You may be enforcing the law impartially, but you've caught the wrong person!"

"Caught the wrong person? What do you mean by someone else? ”

"That's right! Whoever kills must have a motive first. ”

"Isn't murder for money a motive?"

"Lord Chen, who are the deceased?"

"According to the investigation of this official, they are all outsiders who only came here two months ago!"

"Luling is by no means a big city, why are there so many strangers suddenly here?"

"This ...... This official is not clear! ”

"How old are the deceased? Is it male or female? ”

"They are all sturdy men in their thirties."

"If she could kill these people, she would still be powerless to resist just now?"

"This ...... She must have poisoned the deceased in the wine! ”

"Should? So you're just guessing? ”

"The official doesn't know, only she knows about this matter!"

"If you don't know anything, you dare to be beheaded at will?"

"This official can't find out, can you find out?"

Chen Chen looked at the fan-wielding boy contemptuously, his gaze aggressive.

The fan-wielding boy nodded, and glanced at Chen Chen even more contemptuously.

The sneer on the corner of Chen Chen's mouth gradually solidified on his face.

He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth word by word.

"If you really have this ability, this case is at your disposal!"

"Good! But I hope you can make it easier for me. ”

"You can do it cheaply in three days, but if you do, you will be punished together!"

"Within three days, I will give an account to the people!"

That night, the three found the survivor of the case, Da Lin.

Three months ago, he suddenly appeared in Luling, and within half a month he became a local relative, but the good times did not last long, and soon the Linghu murder case broke out in Luling.

Dalin was not spared, and although he survived, he has been insane ever since.

Although he invited the best local Langzhong, he could only survive.

If you want to solve the case, witnesses are undoubtedly the key.

Cha Yiqing was about to knock on the door, and a woman walked out first.

She couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Cha Yiqing, and then knelt down for him.

"Lord Xiao, please find a way to find the real murderer!"

"The official is not wearing an official uniform, how do you recognize the official?"

"I'm a native of Luling, and I met you many years ago."

"I see! This official has come today to do this. ”

"Ahh Lord Xiao is willing to take action, and this case will definitely come to light! ”

The woman's expression was full of joy, but Cha Yiqing was thoughtful.

"This woman, you are Dalin's wife?"

"The concubine is none other than the Dalin Humble Jing Cui Clan."

"You married Dalin two months ago?"

"Yes, sir."

"Why did you marry him then?"

"This ......"

Cui Shi's face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he became eager to speak and stopped.

Seeing this, Cha Yiqing shook the folding fan slightly, her eyes still fixed on Cui's.

"Dalin is a goldsmith and has a lot of money, so he ......"

"He's a goldsmith?"

"Yes, he's a very clever goldsmith."

"But in such a small town, how many people can spend money to hire workers, I'm afraid the goldsmith won't be too rich, right?"

"He's an outsider."

"Where is he from? How much money is there? ”

"He seems to be from the Jinling generation, and he has dozens of taels of silver."

"The Jinling generation? A few dozen taels of silver? ”

Seeing that Cha Yiqing was thoughtful, Jasmine couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Xiao Lang, did you think of something?"

"Nothing, just a little weird."

"yes, what does a goldsmith carry with so much money with him?"

"There is only one possible ......"

Jasmine didn't seem to understand what Cha Yiqing said, but Feng Jiutian did.

"Unless someone hires a worker at a high price to do something illegal, and then forces him to leave the country."

"Xiao Jiu, it makes sense."

But who is the employee? And why hire workers? ”

"I don't know, only the seer will see Dalin."

The air in the room was muddy and the smell was almost disgusting. The interior furnishings are shabby, and it can be described as a home with four walls.

There was a man lying on the bed, a man who no longer looked like a human being.

His hair was unkempt, his clothes were disheveled, and his whole body was festering.

If it weren't for the slight heaval of his chest as he breathed, it really didn't look like he was still alive.

Cha Yiqing approached cautiously, wanting to see more clearly.

Dalin seemed to be having difficulty even breathing, and it was obvious that he was dying, but at this moment, he suddenly bounced up from the bed and pounced viciously at Cha Yiqing.

"Fox demon! Don't touch my lady, I'll fight with you! ”

With Cha Yiqing's skills, how could he be easily pounced! I saw him on one side, his footsteps swayed slightly, and he withdrew from Zhangyu in an instant.

Cui Shi looked at Cha Yiqing apologetically, and then slowly walked towards Dalin.

"Xianggong, calm down! He is Lord Xiao, not a fox demon. ”

He ...... He's really not a fox demon? ”

"Really not, really not!"

Cui Shi hurriedly said in a very affirmative tone, and at the same time reached out to support him.

Da Lin nodded weakly, and then slowly lay down.

In the last second, it was a thousand pounds, and at this moment it seems to have turned back into a corpse.

"Xianggong, Lord Xiao has something to ask you, get up quickly......"

Cui Shi wanted to pull him up as he spoke, but Cha Yiqing hurriedly waved his hand.

"Not necessarily! The official can ask questions like this. ”

"Okay, then you can ask."

Cui said trustingly, and then exited the room.

Cha Yiqing still walked calmly to the bedside, as if what had just happened had never happened.

He understands the responsibility on his shoulders and must not let the people of Luling down.

"What's your name?"

Cha Yiqing looked at Dalin and asked slowly.

Dalin was conscious at the moment, and replied with some difficulty.

"My name is Lin Yong, and everyone else calls me Da Lin."

"What do you do for a living?"

"Goldsmith."

"How's your craft?"

"Okay."

"Where was the last time you did your job?"

"Yuntai Mountain outside Jinling City."

"In the mountains? What to build? ”

"I don't know...... I don't know...... I don't know ......."

Da Lin's expression suddenly became extremely painful, as if he remembered a nightmare.

Cha Yiqing knew that in this situation, she couldn't ask anything. But he didn't want to give up, so he had to change his perspective.

"Have you ever heard of a nursery rhyme?"

"What nursery rhyme?"

"Bright Moon, White Fox Demon ......"

"Fox! Arctic fox! Fox demon, you are a fox demon! ”

Dalin's breathing became more and more rapid and uneasy, and his eyes were full of fear.

Cha Yiqing ignored it, but continued to ask.

"Are all your companions who have had their souls robbed?"

"Take away the soul...... The fox demon can really take away the soul! ”

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

"Yes, we went to the Green Charm Forest together that night."

"Why are you going there?"

"I don't know, I just remember that I passed out......

"When you woke up, you found your companions dead?"

"Yes! They're all dead! They're all dead! ”

"And what did you do when you woke up?"

"I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay outside, so I ran home in one go!"

Cha Yiqing hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then continued to ask questions.

"And what was your companion's death?"

"The face is hideous, there are no wounds, and there are no signs of poisoning......"

Feng Jiutian's brows furrowed, and he whispered to Cha Yiqing.

"Brother Cha, he is terminally ill, how can he remember the deceased so clearly?"

"It's not surprising, because they're friends."

"Friends?"

"If I die, you will never forget my death."

Feng Jiutian nodded, but Jasmine pursed.

"Xiao Lang, what nonsense are you talking about! You won't die! ”

"Haha, people will eventually die, and I won't live for twenty years."

"No...... No......"

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Cha Yiqing returned her gaze to Da Lin, and Jasmine had to nod.

"Where did you provoke the fox demon?"

Cha Yiqing's expression was very kind, but her tone was not disobedient.

Under his questioning, Dalin had to recall the nightmare.

"We're in a cave in Yuntai Mountain."

"Why go to the cave?"

"Because of a mysterious man, he hired us to work for him at a high price."

"Mystery man? Do you know who he is? ”

"I don't know, the accent seems to be from the Kunlun Mountains."

When Feng Jiutian heard Kunlun Mountain, he frowned tightly and did not say a word.

"Then how did you meet the fox demon?"

"At that time, it was not a demon, it was an ordinary white fox, and it broke into the hole by itself!"

"What did you do with it?"

"Kill it! Lao Zhang also skinned! ”

"Why kill it?"

"We had poor food, we didn't have the strength to work, and we were ......"

"And what!"

"And its skin is the most perfect fox skin in the world!"

"Perfect?"

"Yes, its whole body is like snow, and its fur is as soft as silk."

"Where is its skin now?"

"Lao Zhang gave it to his wife, and then disappeared."

"Missing? How is this possible? ”

"Not only did he disappear, but Lao Zhang also died."

"How do you know it's a fox demon?"

"Because it's ......, it's the white fox that has been skinned!"

"When it appears, is it skinned or not?"

"There's skin! It's still that flawless fox skin! ”

"Then how do you know it's a demon?"

"Because it can not only ask for souls, but also speak people!"

"Mouthful! How is this possible! ”

Jasmine's expression changed when she heard this, and even Cha Yiqing's face looked pale.

But in an instant, his face softened, and he was still calm and light.

"Well, the official roughly understands."

Cha Yiqing said and looked at Jasmine, her tone was very gentle.

"Li'er, can you help him take the pulse and see if he can be saved?"

Jasmine walked over as she said, reaching out to take a pulse for Dalin.

Dalin suddenly bounced up from the bed again, huddled in the corner, and shivered.

"You're a fox demon! Don't come here! Don't come here! ”

He shouted at Jasmine, looking terrified, ghostly.

Seeing this, Feng Jiutian ignored it, and went straight to the bed and held him down.

Jasmine also hurriedly leaned over, ignoring his resistance, and caught his pulse.

But then her face became ugly, and she shook her head at Cha Yiqing.

"Xiao Lang, I'm afraid ......"

Jasmine looked at Cha Yiqing with some regret and said regretfully.

Cha Yiqing sighed, so she had to take a few people out of the room and meet Cui's head-on.

Her expression was a little complicated, looking excited and worried.

"Lord Xiao, my father-in-law's illness ......"

"Alas, I'm sorry, this official will only solve the case, but he will not cure the disease......"

Cha Yiqing said apologetically, and took out a few taels of silver from her arms.

"You take this silver first, and if it's not enough, you can find the official to get it."

Cui Shi took the silver and thanked him for his kindness, and knelt down to send a few people farther and farther.

The three of them walked out for a while, and Jasmine opened her mouth in confusion.

"Xiao Lang, why is everyone dead, only Dalin is still alive?"

Feng Jiutian was also puzzled, hoping that Cha Yiqing would tell the mystery.

Cha Yiqing smiled and replied without thinking.

"Because the murderer needs a living mouth."

"Need a live mouth?"

"That's right, through his mouth, leading us to the netherworld."

"So it's not the fox demon who committed the crime?"

"Definitely not, it's just that I don't have proof yet."

"So where do we go next?"

"Let's go to the Green Charm Forest!"

Thirty miles outside the city, the green charm forest.

This is a bamboo forest, a deep and quiet bamboo forest.

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, making a whining sound, like a ghost crying.

At this moment, it is still daylight, and everyone shuddered when they approached the bamboo forest, not to mention that a drunk man who didn't know martial arts came alone at night?

Everyone walked around the bamboo forest and took a closer look.

They thought they would get something, but they didn't get anything.

Jasmine became a little deflated and looked at Cha Yiqing helplessly.

"Xiao Lang, there don't seem to be any clues here!"

Feng Jiutian also echoed on the side, but Cha Yiqing was unmoved.

He believes that wherever there is a crime scene, there will be clues to be found.

So he didn't give up easily, but walked around the bamboo forest many times.

The forest was very large, at least a dozen miles in a circle, but he didn't stop.

Even if he was so tired that he vomited blood once, he still persevered.

The already elegant and handsome face adds a bit of perseverance and perseverance.

"Xiao Lang, let's go back first, it's not too late to explore tomorrow."

Jasmine couldn't bear to see Cha Yiqing tired, and her tone was full of pleading.

Cha Yiqing shook her head firmly, without the slightest intention of stopping.

Jasmine had to look at Feng Jiutian again, expecting him to persuade him.

"Brother Cha, it's not early, your body is ......"

Before Feng Jiutian's words were finished, Cha Yiqing shook her head stubbornly.

Although he did not explain it directly, no one understood the meaning of his words.

Feng Jiutian had to let out a long sigh and accompany him down.

For Cha Yiqing, human life is always at stake. This is his mission, his mission to the people of the world. but he is an exception to his own life.

If you receive official salaries, have a good reputation, and cherish the common people, how can you abolish the public because of yourself? Doing your best and dying, is Cha Yiqing's mind.

It was getting darker and darker, and I saw the sunset.

The group found nothing but exhaustion and despair.

Although Cha Yiqing's footsteps have faltered, she still persevered.

The heavens will never fail one kind of person, that is, a person who is hardworking.

At the moment when Cha Yiqing wanted to give up, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He was crouching in front of a small dirt slope, staring at a bamboo.

"Brother Cha, have you found a clue?"

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but be a little excited, and hurriedly approached.

He also squatted beside Cha Yiqing and followed his gaze.

It was a very ordinary bamboo, no matter how you look at it, it is no different, but in Cha Yiqing's eyes, this bamboo seems to hide an amazing secret.

"Xiao Jiu, have you noticed something strange?"

"Something strange is true."

"What did you find?"

"I found a very smart person doing something incredibly stupid."

"The smartest man? Extremely stupid? ”

"Isn't it strange that you're staring at the most ordinary bamboo?"

"Xiao Jiu, I'm not in the mood to joke with you!"

"Then tell us, what the hell are you doing?"

"Didn't you notice that the bamboo had withered?"

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"It's strange that bamboo only withers when it gets old."

"So what?"

"Do you think these bamboos are getting old?"

Feng Jiutian stood up, looked at these bamboos that were not too tall, and shook his head.

"These bamboos should not have grown yet, and they should not wither now."

"yes, and even if it withers, it shouldn't have withered so weirdly."

Jasmine and Feng Jiutian were confused when they heard this, and they opened their mouths in unison.

"Eccentric? What's weird about this? ”

"Didn't you notice that its bamboo stems were mottled?"

The two of them looked at it carefully, and then they realized that it was strange.

"Indeed, the bamboo looks like it has been corroded by something!"

Feng Jiutian said a little excitedly, but his expression was extremely confused.

"That's right, it must have been contaminated with poisonous powder to become like this."

Jasmine listened and pondered for a moment, but finally looked puzzled.

"Poison powder? Xiao Lang, the more you talk about us, the more confused we become! ”

"This poisonous powder is very special, it can make people unconscious but not fatal, but it can corrode trees."

"How do you know?"

"Because there's no trace here."

"Traces?"

"If a person is corrupted by a strong poison, he will leave traces of struggle and vomiting."

"The traces may have been erased by external forces."

"It's only been two days since the incident, and it's so secluded here, who will wipe it out?"

"Yes...... Probably the murderer. ”

"Murderer? Could it be that the fox demon would still do this? ”

"Yes, the demon fox would never do such a thing."

"And have you ever thought about one thing?"

"What's the matter?"

The two of them stared at Cha Yiqing with great curiosity at the same time, and asked in unison.

"Do you remember what Dalin just said?"

"What?"

"The deceased had no wounds and showed no signs of poisoning."

"That's right, if it's corroded to death, you can see it at a glance."

"So, this poisonous powder must be ***, but it won't be fatal."

"But how did the deceased die?"

The two of them looked extremely expectant, waiting for Cha Yiqing to tell the truth.

Cha Yiqing just shook the folding fan lightly and smiled helplessly.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know!"

That night, the county government morgue.

There was not a trace of life in the morgue, there was a dead silence.

In addition to four people in the house, there were also three coffins parked.

The coffin slabs are thin and the lid is open.

"Lil, did you find anything?"

"Xiao Lang, the death of these people is indeed as Dalin said."

"No wounds? And not poisoned either? ”

"Yes, I've looked at it many times, and it's all like that."

Cha Yiqing nodded slowly, looking at these corpses thoughtfully.

Some of these bodies are still intact, and some are already stinking.

Cha Yiqing slowly walked to a corpse and groped carefully with her hands.

He touched the body from head to toe and shook his head in disappointment.

He went to the second body, but the examination was still inconclusive.

Although Cha Yiqing didn't believe in ghosts and gods, after the autopsy, her expression became confused.

"Is it really a fox demon ......?"

Although he didn't believe it, he still couldn't help muttering to himself.

Careful people and people who pursue perfection will never give up easily.

Cha Yiqing is naturally this kind of person, and she will never give up until the end.

He examined the body, shook his head again and again, and repeated it again and again.

Feng Jiutian and Jasmine both looked at him expectantly, and until the last corpse was left, they still believed that he could find something.

The last corpse, with a sturdy body, was no different from a living person except that it had no temperature and was slightly stiff.

Cha Yiqing's hand kept groping on him, never letting go of an inch of skin.

He examined it very carefully and thoroughly, not even a single hair was spared.

He touched the top of his head, forehead, cheeks, jaw, neck, and chest.

The man's chest is flat and solid, but the two **s are slightly larger than the average man.

In order to find out the truth, he could only press lightly with his hands.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, and he stopped on the left side of the corpse, and his face was a little strange.

"Brother Cha, what did you find? Do you need to help? ”

Feng Jiutian said with some excitement, but Cha Yiqing's hand continued to go down.

It took him a long time to touch it a second time, and finally let out a helpless sigh......

The next day, early in the morning.

Feng Jiutian was awakened by a knock on the door.

Somewhat dazed, he got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Cha Yiqing's elegant and handsome face.

"Brother Cha, don't you have to sleep? Why do you always wake up so early? ”

Feng Jiutian yawned and asked with some puzzlement.

Cha Yiqing smiled, with a hint of tiredness in her smile.

"I've thought of a way to solve the case!"

"Tell me about it!"

"Do you remember Dalin's reaction yesterday?"

"He's afraid of the fox demon's reaction?"

"Nope! When asked if there were any survivors. ”

"At that time? Does he have unusual reactions? ”

"He hesitated!"

"What does that mean?"

"If he didn't hide it from us, why hesitate?"

"Even if there are survivors, where do we find them?"

"They're all from other places, and it's likely that there will be some first."

"That's right, we're going to have to look for a needle in a haystack!"

"Now there is only one way to gamble!"

That night, Chunfeng Pavilion.

The town has a small population and few taverns.

Chunfeng Pavilion is the only tavern in Luling that is open in the suburbs, and it is a customer camp at night.

A scruffy guest walked into the tavern and sat down at a table in the middle.

"Little two! Three pots of good wine, two plates of side dishes! ”

"Guest officer, look at your good face, aren't you a local?"

Xiao Er said and walked quickly into the counter to get a pot of wine and put it in front of the guest.

"I'm a goldsmith, just from Yuntai Mountain!"

"You're a goldsmith from out of town! Aren't you scared to come here? ”

"Lao Tzu never knew what it meant to be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, don't you want to die?"

"Lao Tzu is not afraid of heaven and earth, who can kill me?"

"The few people who died a few days ago are not small, aren't they dead?"

"Xiao Er, why are you so verbose! I'm here to drink, not to be frightened! ”

"Haha, then you drink slowly, I won't bother you."

Go, go, don't get in the way! ”

He waved his hand impatiently at Xiao Er, and then poured himself a glass of wine.

Anyone could see his tightly knit brow and sad expression.

Xiao Er didn't say anything more, and quietly walked out of the door of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

Soon, a person appeared outside the window, a person who wanted to kill people!

Wine can kill both the will and the time.

Before I knew it, it had been nearly three watches, and all the guests had dispersed.

Only the frowning guest was still drinking alone.

"Guest officer, the shop is closing, you ......"

"You're driving me away?"

"How dare I? It's just that it's too late, in case you also meet the fox demon......"

"What if I meet a fox demon?"

"yes, I'm thinking about you too."

"Well, then I'll go now, I'll go now."

As he spoke, he reluctantly got up.

Any drunkard's steps will stumble, and his steps will stumble even more.

He staggered to the door, opened it, and disappeared into the street.

"Bright moon, white fox demon. Soul Quest, Thousands of Miles ......"

There were no lights in the streets, only a very dim moonlight.

In such a night, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women.

The goldsmith walked in the direction of his home, singing the nursery rhyme with disdain.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, softer than a cat.

The owner of this footstep is a masked man with good skills.

Such a soft voice would never be heard by a normal drunk.

The footsteps got closer and closer to the drunk, and in an instant they came behind him.

The goldsmith appeared to be drunk, and suddenly fell to the ground.

The masked man behind him let out a few low sneers and carried him on his shoulder.

When he woke up again, he had already arrived at the Green Charm Forest.

The faint moonlight pours down through the dense bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest, which makes people shudder during the day, is even more creepy at the moment.

"You skinned me, don't you apologize quickly!"

A faint and resentful voice sounded, ethereal, as if it were real and illusory.

The goldsmith looked at it, and his whole body couldn't help but shake slightly.

Because it wasn't a human or a ghost who spoke at all, but a spirit fox.

This spirit fox has a snow-white body, a bewitching and arrogant demeanor, and is nothing extraordinary.

The goldsmith was not knowing what to do, and the spirit fox's mouth began to move again.

"Since you don't want to cut yourself, then let Ben Xian give you a ride!"

With the terrifying voice of the spirit fox, a fog suddenly filled the surroundings, and it was definitely not

Ordinary fog, but green smoke with a sweet aroma.

The mist enveloped the goldsmith in an instant, and he covered his nose in pain.

"Zhang Hong, your life immortal has been taken, we are considered two clear!"

Linghu opened his mouth slowly, and his tone was angry in addition to contempt.

The goldsmith fell to the ground with great reluctance at the sound of it.

The fog gradually cleared, and the white fox disappeared.

And where the white fox stood, a hole appeared.

There's a flap here, a very hidden flap.

The white fox is light and cannot be touched at all, and only people can go up and down.

At this moment, there was really a person at the entrance of the cave, the masked man.

Obviously, the so-called fox demon can speak, but it is nothing more than a wonderful double reed.

The masked man approached the drunk cautiously, his steps very light.

The footsteps were the same as the ones just now, and they clearly belonged to the same person.

The masked man slowly walked up to the goldsmith and kicked him hard.

Such a force was unbearable for ordinary people, but the goldsmith did not react.

Seeing this, the masked man smiled and took out a slender steel needle from his arms.

Then he looked fierce, and without hesitation, he tore the goldsmith's clothes.

The masked man held up the steel needle, aimed it at the goldsmith's left nipple hole, and stabbed it viciously.

If this steel needle does pierce it, it will definitely pierce the human heart.

Hazy moonlight, eerie atmosphere, terrifying bamboo forest, deadly steel needles.

It's all so terrible that it doesn't look like the human world, it's like eighteen layers of hell!

"Do you want to live, or do you want to die!"

Just as the steel needle was about to pierce in, a cold voice suddenly came.

The masked man was shocked when he heard this, and the steel needle in his hand fell to the ground.

"Who! Who's talking! If you have the ability, come out! ”

"I've always been here!"

"Here...... Is it ......?"

The masked man instinctively looked at the goldsmith, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

He slowly crouched down and pressed close to the goldsmith to see what was going on.

Suddenly, his neck was pinched so hard that his fingers seemed to be embedded in the flesh.

Then the man stretched out his left hand and removed the veil covering the man's face.

"Dalin! Sure enough, it's you, a human-faced beast-hearted person! ”

"You...... You're not poisoned, and you're ...... It's not Zhang Hong! ”

Dalin felt that his neck was about to break, but he still shouted in surprise.

The goldsmith smiled and sat up slowly, his expression full of sarcasm.

"I only wore my hair loose, and I didn't know me after a simple makeover?"

"You...... Who are you? What do we have to grudge against? ”

"Although we have no enmity, the people of the world will take care of the affairs of the world!"

"Have I seen you?"

"I've seen it!"

"When?

"Yesterday, yesterday morning."

"Could it be...... Could it be that you are the man in white behind Xiao Yan! ”

"That's me. Remember, my name is Feng Jiutian! ”

"Feng Jiutian! You are Feng Jiutian! ”

"That's right! Why do you kill? ”

"Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters with people is justified!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause and footsteps in the bamboo forest.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in an instant they appeared in front of him.

"It's so justified, such an act of hurting nature and reason can be so justified!"

Xiao ...... Xiao Yan! ”

"That's right, it's this official!"

"How can you solve a case in two days?"

"Although your methods are clever, it is a pity that there are many loopholes!"

"What loopholes do I have?"

"First of all, you are too clear about the case!"

"I am friends with the deceased, it should be clear!"

"If you can remember it so clearly, still lie in bed?"

"This ......"

"Second, how can you find a home if you are really delirious?"

"I don't know, so I want to run for my life......"

"Haha, your wife loves you very much, you shouldn't go home and drag her down, right?"

"So where should I go?"

"Just find a deep mountain and go back when everything is calm!"

"Everybody thinks differently, so what's wrong with that?"

"Although the ideas will be different, the subconscious will be the same!"

"But yesterday you said I was no different?"

"If I said something different yesterday, how can you be caught today?"

"I thought Xiao Yanlang was famous, it turned out to be a plan to stabilize the army!"

"That's right, and you've got an even more fatal hole!"

"What!"

"Goldsmiths work with their hands, and you only have calluses on your right hand, and they are not too thick!"

"This ...... What does this mean? ”

"Shows you're not a goldsmith, you're a killer!"

"Why does it have to be a killer?"

"What else would it be if you have a callus on your right hand and no callus on your left hand and no other signs?"

"How did you expect me to go to the tavern tonight?"

"Because Feng Jiutian lied to Xiao Er that he was from Yuntai Mountain."

"So what?"

"There are only Cui Ying and Xiao Er in the tavern, and they are the only ones who are convenient for poisoning!"

"Could it be that the Oriole was poisoned?"

"There is a tavern on the outskirts of Luling, what is the benefit of poisoning the guests?"

"What's the benefit of Xiao Er poisoning the guests?"

"Since he kills for you, he can naturally earn a lot of hush money!"

"It's horrible! You're terrible! ”

"But you almost escaped me, and you have some means!"

"You don't have to ask any more, I'd rather die than confess the boss!"

"Hahaha, boss? Are you not admitting yourself! ”

Cha Yiqing's smile became brighter and brighter, but Dalin's face was iron-blue.

He wanted to pick up the steel needle and commit suicide, but he was controlled by Feng Jiutian and was powerless to move.

"Xiao Jiu, take him back to the county government and let him confess!"

The two escorted Dalin straight to the county office.

The moonlight was still hazy, but the facts of the case were clear.

Cha Yiqing sighed in her heart, regretful but gratified.

He once again lived up to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the people, and the world!
