034 The fifteenth victim
This night is destined to be unpeaceful.
The arrests in the whole city were dispatched, and even Gu Donglin and Master Wu were wearing official uniforms and searching door to door.
"Which one of the thousand knives knocked on the door in the middle of the night, I don't know if Lao Tzu is doing business? Eh, Master Gu, why are you here? The angry Meat Rong Gongzi instantly behaved like a little sheep.
"What are you busy with not sleeping all night?" Master Wu had a straight face and was about to enter the house.
"Eh, Master Wu, you don't know the surname Wang, do you?"
"My surname is Wu, not Wang. Hurry up and get out of the way, if you delay the yamen's work, be careful to let you sit in the prison! ”
"No, it's not!" Gongzi Rourong spoke in a hurry, so he stammered a little, "What do you say you can do, Master Wu doesn't know about this kind of thing, Master Gu should know, I heard that your concubine is beautiful and beautiful." ”
He was shy and looked obscene, which made Gu Donglin's cheeks a little hot, embarrassed.
"It's a special time, and for whatever reason, today you're going to open the door and let us in." Although Master Wu knew that Pork Rong had done the hook bar, he had to check the order.
"Alright then, daughter-in-law, put on your clothes and drape them tightly, don't freeze." Gongzi Rourong said to the house, and then heard the sound of clothes squirming in the room.
Master Gu listened to it sincerely, and felt a little touched by the scene, saw things and thought about people, and remembered the concubine's considerate and warm embrace, and his heart moved.
"Master Wu, I'm a little unwell, and I'll leave the rest to you."
"Master Gu, I'm alone, I can't stand it."
Master Wu scolded secretly in his heart, Niang Xipi, what I want to say, I was preempted by you.
"Worth it."
"I can't help it."
"If you can't top it, you have to give it to me! That's it, I went first. Gu Donglin turned around and left, without looking back.
"Master Gu, these clothes are all on, you are checking... Still don't check. ”
"Check the fart, you can do it yourself, I'll leave too." Master Wu also turned around and left in the opposite direction to Gu Donglin, without looking back.
Rourong Gongzi was frozen a little sluggish in the cold wind, snorted his nose, and only spoke weakly for a while.
"What the hell are these people?"
"Xianggong, hurry in, today's account hasn't been settled yet."
Gongzi Rourong hurriedly shrank into the house, he picked up a pen, picked up the account book that had just been placed on the table, hid in the quilt, and continued to count in the faint moonlight, "Miss Liu, three catties of pig's head meat, a total of one or two and a half yuan......"
Here, Gu Donglin and Master Wu retreated and went home to sleep, and over there, Xing Zhutou and Guo Zhukuai were still searching door to door.
In the blink of an eye, in the second half of the night, the two of them searched almost completely, walking in the dark streets.
"Xiao Guo, you don't have to worry too much, after all, Lord Gou is a newly appointed official, and he needs to establish authority, and he is definitely not targeting you." Xing Zhutou said with relief, he was a little worried.
"In these years, when I go out, I just want to make a living. The big husband can stretch and contract, and he can't miss his life because of a small thing. ”
"The criminal boss is able to bend and stretch." Guo Zhukuai reminded.
"Okay, you're right." Guo Zhukuai grinned and put his arm around his shoulder, "I know that you kid, you are not so easily hit, does your face still hurt?" ”
"It's a little, but it's much better."
"That's good, you still have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you can't be disfigured, who can see it when the time comes."
Guo Zhu was noncommittal, he lowered his head and counted his steps, and suddenly asked: "Boss Xing, you said that white bone, is it a native of Pingjiang County?" ”
"Alas", hearing this, Xing Zhutou had another headache, "This kind of thing, I can only ask Lord Yan, when will I kick my legs, and I will give you my dream after I go down." ”
"No, that's not what I meant." Guo Zhukuai shook his head again and again, "I'm just thinking that if he is from Pingjiang County, then there will be fourteen county citizens who have died." But only thirteen county residents in Pingjiang County are missing, so is the one who is alive still not human? ”
The simple logic was like Hong Zhong Da Lu, directly hitting Xing Zhu's heart, he thought about it carefully, and only felt that his scalp was numb and his back was cold.
"It can't be so weird, if that's the case, is there still a monster among the more than 9,000 county citizens?"
"I can't say exactly, but Lord Zhu must have thought of it, he must know more than me, if I give him a little more time, I believe he will be able to find out the real culprit."
Guo Zhukuai's tone was firm, and his eyes emitted a scorching light.
Xing Zhutou was a little stunned, he only felt that this scene seemed familiar.
By the way, when I followed the previous county order to handle the case, I also had such enthusiasm, but unfortunately that case was too dangerous, and the county order was planted in it.
"In this way, you can find a time to go to the cell and bring some food to Lord Zhu."
"This, no, it's not good, Master Gou is still there, won't you be punished if he finds out when the time comes?" Guo Zhukuai was a little timid.
"Listen to me, Gou Wenjun is still outside investigating the case, and I don't know when he will come back. Besides, you're not an important person, and he won't keep an eye on you. ”
"However, he will keep an eye on Lord Zhu, and you should also know that Lord Gu has made it clear that he wants to let Lord Zhu take the blame this time."
Although his reaction is a little sluggish, his brain is still bright, and going to Zhu Tianshu at this time is not a good thing, whether it is for others or himself.
"Boss Criminal, don't worry, Master Zhu is not so fragile, he is very capable."
"What kind of ability can he have, a powerless civil official, if it weren't for Lord Liu to follow him to protect him, it is estimated that he would now be the fifteenth corpse lying in the coroner's room." Xing Zhutou pursed his lips.
He doesn't have an opinion on Zhu Tianshu, he just thinks that a man needs to stand up to the sky and rely on women to protect and investigate cases, which is always a little awkward and unspeakable.
Guo Zhukuai was about to explain something, when he suddenly heard a cry for help.
"Help! Help me! ”
He was immediately alert, and Xing Zhutou also entered the state of alert in an instant.
"Where did the sound come from?"
"Over there!" Guo Yu quickly stretched out his finger and pointed to a dark and narrow alley in front of him.
The two of them strode and came to this alley in a few breaths, and the imaginary horror scene did not happen.
There was only one woman, kneeling on the ground with her neck clutched, her body red with blood.
He hurried forward, and found that the woman was only a little pale, and except for a wound on her neck, she was fine.
"Can you still go?" He reached out and put his arm around the woman.
The woman stood up with her strength and nodded at the two of them, "Thank you, two officials." ”
"Don't talk, come with us to the county office, there is a doctor there, go and bandage the wound first." Xing Zhutou took the woman's arm, supported it, and looked at Guo Zhukuai.
"You go and look around and see if you can find the murderer or the traces of the murderer's crime."
"Then I'm leaving, be careful." Guo Yu nodded quickly, and walked quickly towards the narrow alley.
