At noon, Nie Hongshu came to Taiping Town to investigate the case.

Gu Ming naturally followed.

Not to mention that this strange case is related to the future and reputation of his father-in-law, even if he doesn't have this relationship, he has to come.

Because he received a special task for the system again.

And, this time, 40 points are awarded.

It can be seen that the difficulty of this mission is relatively high, after all, the first two times only awarded 20 points.

Gu Ming had already thought about the use of the points, and used them to upgrade the quality of the weapon, that is, the white quality of the Chinese scripture brush.

There is a corresponding upgrade charm in the mall, which is upgraded from white quality to blue quality, and one 40 points is awarded.

After all, the brush is not only a writing tool for Gu Ming, but also a weapon.

Of course, a scholar must have the appearance of a scholar when he fights, and the so-called gentleman does not use his mouth, and the effect of verbal criticism is undoubtedly better.

And more handsome and more elegant!

This is called a specialization in the art industry......

"Knock on the prefectural magistrate!"

"I've seen Master Nie!"

As soon as the people arrived, many people bowed to Nie Hongshu.

Scholars such as squires and talents with status and status do not need to bow down, they can just bow their hands when they come forward.

"You don't have to be polite!"

Nie Hongshu raised his hand to signal, then walked to Zeng Tiancheng's side and whispered: "This official received two similar strange cases this morning, in addition to this place, there is also one in Dingjiachang. ”

"Dingjiachang ......"

Hearing this, Zeng Tiancheng couldn't help frowning.

"So, the officer suspects that this is a premeditated incident."

Zeng Tiancheng had an epiphany.

Last time, in order to support Nie Hongshu, he contacted a group of squires to support. Among them, Ding Zhiyou of Dingjiachang is one of the hardest working.

Is this a coincidence, or is someone deliberately so?

"Okay, this official will go to see the scene first!"

"Good!"

Under the leadership of Zeng Tiancheng, Nie Hongshu, Gu Ming, and the accompanying servants walked into the scene of the crime together.

The head of the household is named Zhu Dachang, and he has a daughter who works as a maid in a neighboring county and is not at home.

Fortunately, I was not at home, otherwise I would not have escaped.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Nie Hongshu instructed a few arresters: "You first search carefully inside and outside the courtyard to see if there are any suspicious clues." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Several catchers responded in unison, and then split up to search.

He walked over to the corpse and squatted down to examine it.

Gu Ming also stepped forward to take a look...... Sure enough, the death was very miserable, the eyeballs were protruding, and the facial muscles were distorted and deformed, as if they were scared to death.

Both husband and wife had an empty blood hole in their chests, and their hearts were missing.

In addition, several chickens and a local dog raised in the yard, including two pigs in the pen, were also killed by heart.

Nie Hongshu frowned and looked at the corpse, then moved a few steps, squatted down and looked at the pile of ants on the ground.

At this time, the ants have not yet dispersed, and they can still faintly distinguish the eight words "faint officials take office, and they are peaceful".

"Could the ground be dipped in bee water or something?"

Gu Ming walked over and squatted down and asked subconsciously.

"Probably not."

Nie Hongshu stretched out his finger and rubbed it on the ground, twisted it, and sniffed it again, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"That's weird......"

When he first heard the word "ants", Gu Ming's first thought was that someone had smeared something like honey on the ground.

Because I saw similar routines in film and television dramas in my previous life, I used this kind of way to attract ants, bees, and the like to gather together, so as to combine them into words to deceive the world.

After a closer inspection, there was indeed nothing unusual on the ground.

There is no smell, no strange feeling, and no text lines...... Are these ants really that smart?

Isn't that a refinement?

"What do you think?"

Nie Hongshu couldn't figure it out, so he glanced at Gu Ming and asked.

"This ...... Although I can't figure it out for the time being, I'm sure that these ants are not automatically combined into words, and someone should still be secretly manipulating.

However, what method was used remains to be verified. ”

"Well, it's a bit nerve-wracking."

Nie Hongshu let out a long sigh.

It's nerve-wracking.

After all, he had just taken over as the magistrate of the county when such a strange case occurred, and I am afraid that it would spread all over the city and outside the city in two days, and even to neighboring counties.

If the case cannot be solved for a long time, the people will inevitably panic and complain.

This will not only affect his reputation, but also cause dissatisfaction from above. If the situation expands further, I am afraid that the position of the county magistrate who has just been turned into a regular will be a little hanging.

After a while, he stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, I'm afraid this thing is a bit strange.

Judging from the villain's years of experience, most of the couple, including those domestic animals, did not die at the hands of normal people. ”

"And what do you think?"

"Either some charlatans, or ...... Ghosts and the like. ”

"Why do you think so?" Nie Hongshu asked subconsciously.

"The villain is judging by the wounds and the bloodstains. Under normal circumstances, a heart is bound to bleed profusely.

However, whether it was the deceased or the domestic animals in the yard, the bleeding was not large.

And the wound is also very strange, not quite like a sharp blade cut......"

Gu Ming thought deeply about what he said.

In fact, after receiving the system task, he guessed that the real culprit behind the scenes was either a ghost or a stranger.

If it is done by ordinary people, the system generally does not publish tasks.

"Report to your lord, I didn't find any useful clues nearby!"

"My lord, according to the investigation of his subordinates, Zhu Dachang and his wife should have been sleeping in the room and were forcibly dragged out, or they may have been coerced into the courtyard and then killed."

"Well, let's record that first."

The group quickly searched separately for a while, but they really couldn't find any suspicious clues.

"Alright, leave two people to guard the scene. The others followed the official to Dingjiachang as soon as possible. ”

Dingjiachang is not far from Taiping Town, only a dozen miles away, and it is just a small township.

When I arrived at the scene, the situation was almost identical.

The deceased was also a couple, and the livestock in the yard also died violently, and the cause of death and the circumstances of death were almost identical.

Judging by the experience of the couple, the couple died first, around midnight.

And Zhu Dachang and his wife should be one or two hours in the evening, which should be close to the time when the rooster crows.

From this, it can almost be concluded that the murderer is the same person, who first committed the crime in Dingjiachang and then went to Taiping Town.

On the way back, Gu Ming couldn't help but whisper to Nie Hongshu: "My lord, in my opinion, it is better to gather a group of squires and ask them to secretly send people to help monitor suspicious characters."

The county government also sent people to control it, and once it was discovered, it was immediately reported by letter. ”

"Well, that's a great idea!"

Nie Hongshu nodded.

At present, he can't come up with a better plan, so he can only use this way of waiting for the rabbit to be controlled.

In the morning of the next day, someone came to report the case, saying that a similar strange case had occurred in Lujiatan, a suburb in the western suburbs of the city.

The deceased this time was a small rich family surnamed Lu, and the family of three lost their lives......

……

[PS: Can I borrow a few words?] Anyway, it's a free period now, and it's not a scam book coin emmmmmm]

[This book is based on the background of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" movie, but the plot is not limited to the movie, but a big world of Liaozhai (including the original book)]

[The plot will slowly unfold and will become more and more exciting]

[Regarding the level of the protagonist, it is tentatively set as: Xiaobai, Companion Reading Boy, Senior Scholar, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Gongsheng, Juren, Xie Yuan, Gongshi, Huiyuan, Jinshi, Tanhua, Bangyan, Zhuangyuan, Shilang, University Scholar, Wensheng, Wenquxing]

[If you have any objections to the level or have good suggestions, please leave a message]

[Since the title of the book is to write a novel, the protagonist will definitely become a generation of great writers, and even a literary saint]

[Regarding the way the protagonist fights, the main thing is to rely on a mouth (exit into a chapter), and a brush (a wonderful brush) (draw a dragon with the left hand, and a rainbow with the right hand?) ）]

[It is envisaged that in the middle and later stages, it will slowly join the use of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to defend against the enemy.] For example, the sound of the piano hurts the enemy, and drawing a picture can include the demon in the painting.

This setting is only an auxiliary skill.,It's not too complicated.,You don't have to worry about crashing]

[Similarly, if you have any comments and suggestions on this setting, please leave a message]

[In addition, it should be noted that the protagonist does not travel through the heavens, and there is only one big world, which is the world of Liaozhai.]

But some celestial figures will descend into the big world (such as Bai Suzhen).

Of course, there are occasionally small worlds (copies), but they are not traversal, but they are painted worlds.

Similar to entering a world like "Painted Wall"]

[I won't spoil more ideas or settings, and then it's an outline.] In short, if the grades are acceptable, the number of words in this book should not be less]

[Finally, if you update thousands of words every day, it is inevitable that there will be some ill-conceived points (that is, what some book friends call poisonous points)

This, I think, is unavoidable for any author.

Saburo can only promise to write as much as possible, but he can't guarantee that everyone will like it.

If there is something wrong in the book, please understand and forgive me.

After it is put on the shelves, try to guarantee three updates, or combine three chapters into two chapters. From time to time, 10,000 more (wrong, it's 10,000 words)

Saburo thanked him!! ]

[Last note...... emmmmmm, say a word weakly, and then borrow the land to ask for a ticket.

If you have spare money, you can reward 100 book coins, at least make the number of fans look a little better :)]
