When the two of them were grinding and chirping, Dark Cloud suddenly ran over: "Head, we just found a few footprints stained with lamp oil under the window edge, judging from the width and distance of the footprints, this person is a strong man with a height of eight feet!" ”

As soon as he talked about the eight-foot-tall strong man, a person popped up in Shi Jinxiu's mind.

In her dream, she had seen such a person in the Li family, but that person had always been Hanhan, known as Erhan, who was responsible for feeding the horses in the Li family.

Thinking of Erhan's innocent smile that didn't have any harm, Shi Jinxiu shook his head.

"What? Who do you think of? Yu Wenyan saw Shi Jinxiu's appearance and asked.

"Maybe it's because I'm all the soldiers." Shi Jinxiu said with some uncertainty, "Although it is rare to see a person who is eight feet long in the capital, the person I know is stupid and stupid, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do this thing of arson." ”

"Silly, silly?" Yu Wenyan squinted slightly, "According to what you said, I also remembered someone, but I also felt that it couldn't be him." ”

As he was talking, a white bullet suddenly exploded in the sky.

Yu Wenyan and Dark Cloud both changed their expressions.

This is the unique signal flare of the Zhenfu Division, and someone is looking for Yu Wenyan.

Yu Wenyan calmly popped out a red bullet, and after a while, Shi Jinxiu saw Yu Linwei wearing a black flying fish suit rushing all the way.

"My lord, an eight-foot-tall male corpse was found in the moat outside the city!" The man rushed up to the third floor in one breath, barely having time to catch his breath.

As soon as he heard that the male corpse was also eight feet tall, Shi Jinxiu's heart sighed, and he secretly thought that it was not such a coincidence!

"Lead the way." Yu Wenyan got up when he heard this, and said with a dark face.

"My lord, may I come with you?" Shi Jinxiu consulted.

Yu Wenyan thought about it and nodded silently.

And the group hurried out of the city.

The man's body had already been salvaged ashore, and in order not to frighten passers-by, he took a broken straw mat to cover his head and face.

Yu Wenyan passed through the cordon set up by Yu Linwei and walked over.

Before signaling his subordinates to uncover the straw mat, he first whispered to Shi Jinxiu: "Don't look. ”

Shi Jinxiu shook her head: "I'm not afraid!" ”

The corners of Yu Wenyan's mouth showed a faint smile, and he motioned for his subordinates to remove the straw mat.

The male corpse under the straw mat had obviously not been dead for a long time, not only were his hands and feet not completely stiff, but he also had a strong smell of alcohol on his body, and there was a little lamp oil on the soles of his shoes.

"Sure enough, it's him!" When Shi Jinxiu saw the face of the male corpse, he exclaimed.

"How do you know him?" Yu Wenyan looked at Shi Jinxiu.

Shi Jinxiu was speechless for a while.

She can't tell Yu Wenyan that she saw it in a dream!

So she could only vaguely say: "I have seen him by the side of the Li family, because he is too tall, and I will remember it once I see him." ”

Fortunately, Yu Wenyan did not doubt her answer.

"He is indeed from the Li family! I just don't know why I died here. He looked at Yu Linwei on the side, "Who first discovered him?" ”

That Yu Lin Wei pointed to a merchant next to him and said, "It's him." ”

The merchant was also trembling, he walked by the moat as usual today, but found that there seemed to be something floating in the river, and when he looked closely, it was a person!

So he shouted for help, but he didn't think about it, but he called these Yu Linwei in black flying fish suits.

"Big ...... My lord...... This matter has nothing to do with the small ones! As soon as the merchant saw Yu Wenyan, his legs were weak, so he simply knelt on the ground, "The little one is just passing by, and he really doesn't know anything." ”

"Who said it had anything to do with you?" Yu Wenyan said with a straight face, "I'll ask you to answer, don't say anything that has nothing to do with this case!" ”

The merchant nodded apprehensively.

"You say you found this guy? What time is it this morning? Yu Wenyan stared at the merchant's face and asked.

"If you go back to the adult, the little one is just a merchant, and every day he picks up some needles and threads to call in these ten miles and eight towns, and this road is what I have to pass every day," the merchant said tremblingly, "I carry the burden out as soon as the city gate is opened every day, and when I walk to this moat, I think that the river is just a piece of clothing...... Small...... The little one wants to get it up......"

As he spoke, the merchant looked ashamed: "But I didn't think about it, after I took a branch and poked it, I found that it was actually a person!" ”

"At first, I thought he was just drunk and sleeping in the water...... But after they fished the man up, they found that the man had long since lost his breath. The merchant said honestly.

Yu Wenyan kept staring at the merchant's eyes, and saw that his eyes did not dodge, so it can be seen that what he said was not a lie.

He turned around and asked Yu Linwei behind him, "Have you found someone to come and see it?" ”

That Yu Lin Wei replied: "Si Li's brother has already seen it, but this person drowned, because of the smell of alcohol on his body, it cannot be ruled out that he fell into this moat after being drunk!" ”

"Are you sure?" Yu Wenyan was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "There is a curfew at night in the capital, who can run out to drink in the middle of the night, and then drown in the outer moat?" ”

The man under his command was stunned when he heard this.

"Check again!" Yu Wenyan said with a dark face.

"Whoa!" And the man withdrew.

Seeing that the people around him had retreated, Shi Jinxiu quietly tugged at Yu Wenyan's sleeve and asked, "My lord, is there anything wrong?" ”

If someone next to him asked such a thing, Yu Wenyan would be impatient, but it was Shi Jinxiu who asked this, and he had more patience: "Although this moat is connected with the inland river in the capital, it can prevent foreign enemies from sneaking into the capital from the waterway, and a sluice gate has been made at the intersection of the inland river and the moat, that is to say, this person cannot float out of the inland river." ”

"In other words, did the man die outside the city?" Shi Jinxiu was thoughtful about Yu Wenyan's words.

"But the nine gates of the capital will be closed every time they arrive, and they will not be opened until the beginning of the year." Yu Wenyan said slowly, "Xinxiang Pavilion was found to be missing on the fifth watch...... It's only three minutes of the first month. ”

Shi Jinxiu immediately understood: "Xinxiang Pavilion was lost in the fire during the fifth watch, at least it proves that this person was still alive at that time, and the city gate was not opened until the beginning of the month, which means that he must not leave the city until after the beginning of the day!" ”

"Such a drunk person, the guards guarding the city will not notice it, and they have no impression, it proves that he did not come out of his own way!"

"But if you come out in a carriage, you can't fall into the water! So, he could only have been drowned! ”

"In other words, he has accomplices in setting fire to Xinxiang Pavilion! And his accomplices killed him again in order to kill him, and threw his body here! ”

Shi Jinxiu followed his train of thought and said, but saw Yu Wenyan smiling and nodding frequently.
