"Really? Master's memory has deteriorated? Gu Yunfei exhaled and turned around: "Yes, if you like to say it or not, it is you people from Wuliu Town who died anyway." The master's kung fu is high, even if the murderer comes, he doesn't dare to provoke the master. ”

The old mayor's face turned pale, but his cheeks tightened, and he did not speak again.

This night, Gu Yunfei did not return to the Longmen Inn, but stayed in the room next to Gu Changfeng. When it was almost dawn, the storyteller found Gu Yunfei and said hesitantly: "The evening before yesterday, I saw the shopkeeper of my house talking to the mayor. ”

"What's wrong with talking?" Gu Yunfei deliberately pretended not to care.

"I didn't talk much, but my shopkeeper's expression was very panicked, as if he was afraid of something. The mayor's expression was also different from the past. The innkeeper quickly clenched his fist and quickly let go: "I know, what I say now is unfounded, but I always feel that the mayor seems to know something." ”

"What are you talking to me about? Before noon, your parents in Wuliu Town will send someone here, and when the time comes, you can just tell them what you know and what you suspect. ”

"I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that your parents won't let you speak? ”

"I'm not afraid that the county lord won't let me speak, I'm afraid, before I meet the county lord, I can't open my mouth."

"Someone is going to kill you?"

"No, I didn't say that, I just think it's ......" The innkeeper pursed his mouth: "Master just treat me as nonsense." ”

Gu Yunfei wanted to ask something more, but the innkeeper suddenly turned around and left. He stretched out his hand, tried to scream, but then felt that he was a little nosy, yawned, and lay back on the bed.

Because of the murder in the inn, their group had to stay in the inn and wait for the people from the government to come. It was not until after dark that the county magistrate of Guangping County arrived at the Xinyue Inn in a carriage.

The prefectural magistrate is here, but the mayor is missing.

The crowd looked around for a while, and suddenly their eyes fell on the ghost drum placed in the corner of the hall.

"Who repaired this drum noodle?"

"yes, wasn't it bad last night?"

"Is there something in the drum?"

"Something? What's the matter, hasn't the sect's shopkeeper been rescued by that Gu Ye? It's a pity that this ghost drum still didn't let him go. ”

Everyone was talking about it, which aroused Yan Suwen's curiosity. She put down the medical book in her hand and gave Gu Yunfei a look. Gu Yunfei was originally leaning against the pillar with his sword, but after receiving Yan Suwen's information, he immediately got up and walked to the drum.

The drum had been cut by him with his sword last night, but by this time, it was stitched intact. Not only that, but when he saw this drum surface, he also had a very familiar feeling. That's right, it's the feeling of seeing Zongli curled up in the drum in front of the ancestral hall. He stretched out his hand, pressed it on the drum surface, and pressed it down hard, and his face changed.

"There's someone in this drum!"

"Someone? Shouldn't it still be the shopkeeper of the sect? ”

"I've heard for a long time that the ghost drums in Wuliu Town eat people, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the county lord see." When several catchers heard the discussion, they came over with knives, and as they went, they drove the onlookers away from the drums with a bad attitude.

"You, go aside." A few arresters saw Gu Yunfei standing in front of the drum, and were about to drive him out, but they were frightened by a sharp look: "The government is handling the case, and no one has anything to do with it to retreat." ”

"Did you do it?" Gu Yunfei didn't listen to what Yu Kuai was saying at all, but directly knocked on the drum with his sword: "Here, there is a dead man." ”

"How do you know, could it be that you killed this person?" Catch up and ask.

"If only I had killed me." Gu Yunfei looked at the catcher and smiled: "If I really killed it, I don't need you to do it, because I will kill you all soon." What is it called? This is called killing people. After extinguishing the mouth, there will be a trace of destruction by the way. Have you ever heard of Bone Water? I have. Just such a small drop, you will evaporate from the world. ”

"Master is not scared." Several of the catchers were so frightened that they pulled out their knives. Qianqian

"I didn't even open the blade, and I said that I wasn't scared. The county order of Guangping County is right, it seems that you have a good governance, and the boundaries of the county belong to the county, and the law and order are good. The knives of these catchers are not even opened, indicating that there is nothing to use the knife for. ”

"This is—" The county order is still a county order, and I still have some eyesight.

"Do you know this thing?" Gu Yunfei took off a token from his body and handed it over.

When the county magistrate of Guangping County saw it, his face turned white, and he was about to come over and salute in a panic.

"Okay, when you're out of the house, you don't need so many courtesies. I happened to be passing by here, and I happened to come across such a strange case. My identity, don't tell the outside world. ”

"Yes!" The Guangping County Order responded softly: "Then this case ......"

"Murder! Can you bring it? ”

"This ...... There was originally a man in Guangping County, but when he got older, he went home. Because the people in Guangping County are simple and simple, such bad things rarely happen, so it ...... Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the matter of solicitation. However, before I came, I had already sent someone to look for the old man's apprentice, and I would be able to come over about tomorrow morning. ”

"By tomorrow morning, the corpse will be cold." Gu Yun flew to Yan Suwen and looked at it: "It just so happens that I know a servant, so let's call him over first." ”

"That's very good, thank you Childe."

Gu Yunfei casually summoned someone over and asked him to go to the Longmen Inn to invite Shen Jiu over, while he commanded the catcher to carry the ghost drum to the middle of the lobby.

"Lights!" Gu Yunfei stretched out his hand and asked someone to hand over the lamp and candle. If you put the candle close to the surface of the drum, you can clearly see that there is a shadow curled up in the drum, although it is not very obvious, but you can see that it is the shadow of a person.

"Take it." Gu Yunfei handed the lamp and candle to the catcher who was standing aside, and he took out the dagger from his boot and poked it in, and then used his wrist force, slowly slashing down along the knife momentum, and he didn't stop until he slid to the end. As the drum surface was cut open, a disgusting stench immediately pounced out, and the unsuspecting Gu Yunfei covered his nose and took several steps back. The other people present continued to fan the smell with their hands, while covering their noses tightly.

After only a while, those who were originally gathered around the ghost drum to watch the excitement had already retreated to the corner, while Gu Changfeng, Yan Suwen and Jiang Li, who were originally standing in the corner, walked closer to each other.

"Is there a dead man in there?" Youbai pinched his nose and asked, and at the same time handed the handkerchief in his hand to Yan Su and asked, "Madame, hurry up and cover it, this smell is really smoky." ”

"It's really smoked, I've been a magistrate in Guangping County for more than 20 years, and it's the first time I've smelled such a stinky thing." The Guangping County Commander also pinched his nose like a young white, "Even if this is a dead person, it can't stink like this, right?" Didn't this drum just move to this Xinyue Inn last night? I heard that the shopkeeper of this Xinyue Inn, Zongli, was rescued from this drum. How did it happen that overnight, there were more corpses in this drum, and they stinked like this. ”

"It's a bit weird, indeed." Yan Suwen covered his mouth and nose and said to Gu Changfeng, "Did you hear anything last night?" ”

Gu Changfeng shook his head: "No, if there is really movement, even if I can't hear it, Yunfei and Jiang Li will also hear it." ”

"There's no movement." Jiang Li's eyes also sank: "My ears are trained, if there is really any strange sound, it is impossible for me not to hear it." ”

"That's weird. This ghost drum was brought back by you and Yunfei last night. After Zongli died, we went upstairs and put the drum aside. Even if we ignored any movement last night, it was impossible for the corpse to decompose like this overnight, unless...... Unless the murderer has done it. ”

"What can you do?" Gu Changfeng asked.

"Normally, there is a process of decomposition of a corpse, unless it is a highly decomposed corpse in the drum, or the corpse has been specially treated. For example, the corpse is frozen first, and then taken out and placed at room temperature to accelerate the decay of the corpse. But it's rare to see something like this. Jiang Li, you take a look and see what the corpse in the drum looks like. ”

Jiang Li nodded, covered his nose, walked to the drum, and frowned with just one glance: "Madam, the corpse in this drum ......"

"What's wrong?"

"It seems to be skinless."

"Skinless?" If it weren't for Gu Changfeng to stop him, Yan Suwen rushed to the drum: "Was it skinned?" ”

"Not only did it be skinned, it looked like it had been cooked, but there seemed to be something next to the corpse. It's not anything, it's just a bunch of stinky, disgusting-looking meat. The smell in this drum seems to be emanating from that thing. ”

"I-I'd better wait for Shen Jiu." Yan Su asked the four words "I'll take a look", but after receiving Gu Changfeng's warning gaze, he quickly touched his belly: "I almost forgot, I'm pregnant, I have to take care of the child in my belly first." What about Shen Jiu? Isn't this Dragon Gate Inn very close to the Heart Joy Inn? He can't come back yet. ”

"It's coming!" Gu Changfeng motioned for Yan Suwen to look towards the door of the inn.

I saw that the originally chic Doctor Shen wrapped his whole body tightly, and even brought a simple disposable glove made of sheep intestines on his hand. Looking at Shang Yan Su and asking, he nodded lightly, as a greeting, and then, without the slightest hesitation, walked to the ghost drum that emitted a foul smell.
