After a few spring rains, the earth is completely awakened and full of life.

The group left Qiyun County, a total of seven, Xin Tianyou, Dong Shumin, Ma's father and daughter, Xiaoxiang Xiaolan, and Zhao Jia.

Xintianyou was dressed in a plain brocade robe, wearing a pair of deerskin high-top boots, and a silver-rimmed small gauze hat, and he was heroic.

This set of clothes is specially made by the county guard to find a craftsman, and according to Miss Dong's visual inspection of the size, there is no error. The original coarse cloth clothes were naturally abandoned.

In fact, he is not particular about clothes, and he does not need to change them frequently. The force field lingers around the body, and the dust cannot be contaminated at all. In addition, there is very little sweating, and it is very clean. A set of clothes can be worn for a long time without spoiling, clean as new.

But this set of young ranger costumes, Xintianyou likes it very much.

The waist can hang many small things, such as food relief knives, water bladders, bamboo chopsticks, blankets, purses...... It reminded him of a phrase from 10,000 years ago, a multifunctional and practical belt.

He hated aristocratic clothing the most, and it didn't matter if he had wide robes and big sleeves, the key was that there were no pockets. Unlike the common people in the market, there are also inner pockets sewn into the sleeves, which can be used to put some small gadgets, called "pockets".

The best thing is that after removing the outer blade of the wolf's fangs, a craftsman arranged a handle and scabbard, and hung it around his waist, which completely became a food relief knife.

Dong Shumin looked at the strange shape of the knife, and had to pull it out to see, Xintianyou didn't do it. Yiren asked General Zhennan for dinner last night, why he didn't let himself attend, and he refused to say what he said.

The eldest lady was so angry that she pouted, made a small face, and ignored people for a long time.

But as soon as she got out of the city, she left her unhappiness out of the clouds, and was as happy as a bird out of the cage, running to the front to lead the way.

When pedestrians saw this group of freshly dressed angry horses, they avoided them one after another.

The Sheep Intestine Valley is thirty miles away from Qiyun City.

The hills, which stretch for five or six miles, are only more than 100 meters high. It stands out as it towers over the plains. Xintianyou guessed that this should belong to the tail peak that spread out of Yunshan.

It can be seen that the government has made great efforts to maintain this road to Baisha Wangcheng. The pavement is paved with gravel and potholes are filled. Weeds were cut down from the roadside, drainage ditches were dug, and pavilions were built every ten miles for pedestrians to rest.

A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, a long pavilion and a short pavilion.

After entering the valley, the road surface narrowed, and the abrupt rock of the side wall was cut, which could still be used by two horse-drawn carriages to stagger through.

The reason why it is called sheep intestine valley is because it is twisted and turned, and it is basically a sharp turn in less than 100 meters. Walking in the valley, you can hear the sound of talking in front of you, but you can't see a human figure.

The narrowest section in the middle, with almost a ninety-degree vertical turn at both ends. The twin peaks are sandwiched, the valley bottom is deep, and you can only see a glimmer of sky when you look up.

Xintianyou stopped and told everyone to go first, and he stayed for a while before catching up.

Everyone thought he wanted convenience, and after turning the corner, he stayed for about five or six minutes, but no one came, but smoke drifted out of the valley.

Dong Shumin waited impatiently, and dismounted and walked back dozens of steps. Sneakily stretched out his head to take a look, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he raised his hand to greet Ma Cuihua.

Ma Cuihua walked over, and immediately retracted after taking a look, covering her mouth with her hand.

The two men looked at each other, probed their brains, and then muttered quietly.

"Sister Cuihua, is Xiaotian worshipping the mountain god?"

"Isn't it, where do you need to burn paper money to worship God? It should be a tribute to the ancestors. ”

"Impossible...... There are cliffs on both sides, and there is not even a grave, how to worship? Besides, the ancestors have to prepare offerings, kneel down and kowtow on their legs. He just got down on one knee, didn't speak, didn't kowtow, and was demented. ”

"Xiaotian looks like this, so pitiful......"

Ma Kong coughed heavily and glared at Ma Cuihua fiercely.

The two girls shrank back, tiptoed back, and closed their mouths.

After a few more minutes, the sound of hooves began.

Xintianyou hit the horse like a fly and rushed out of it.

Seeing that his face was gloomy, everyone didn't dare to ask, so they followed.

……

Because the young man looked depressed, everyone just buried their heads in the road. There was not much cumbersome salutation, the horses were brisk, and they arrived at the boundary of Wangcheng in the morning, and entered the county seat of Dengfeng before dusk.

Xintianyou, who doesn't like shopping the most, offered to accompany the two girls for a walk for the first time, which was simply flattering.

The third watch in the middle of the night, that is, it has entered eleven o'clock in the evening, and everything is silent.

Knock knock knock......

Syllable!

"It's dry, watch out for candles. Close the door and close the door, prevent thieves and theft......"

The gong struck and walked along the street.

Xin Tianyou opened his eyes, changed into a black tight-fitting night suit, put on his wolf teeth, and climbed out of the half-open window. The landing is as light as a tanuki, silent.

Dengfeng County covers an area of five acres, with more than 100 rooms, is a very large building complex.

According to the etiquette system of "sitting in the north and facing south, leaving the left and the right martial arts, sleeping in the front and back, and living in the south", Xintianyou, who had already stepped on the spot, quickly locked the torture room.

Files of various criminal cases are generally collected here.

There was a brass lock on the door, which made it difficult for him, and he pulled out his wolf teeth and cut the latch of the window. Although there was a slight creak from the moment the window was opened, the porter was far away, and the doorman was already asleep, so there was no need to worry at all.

Xintianyou climbed inside and opened all the windows.

The moon is half bent, and the clear light leaks in.

With the faint light, he saw as if it were day. However, the colors are difficult to distinguish, a bit like looking at a black and white print.

Suddenly a question came to mind, if there is no moonlight, and it is easy to be found by the outside when the fire is lit, wouldn't it be blind tonight? After arriving in Wangcheng, I had to get a night pearl to carry with me, so I was prepared.

One wall of the torture cell was attached to a huge wooden cabinet two meters high and five meters wide, which was divided into three floors, each with ten small cabinets, all unlocked. On the door of the cabinet on the ground floor are "the first year of the apocalypse" and "the second year of the apocalypse...... All the way to the note of "Ten Years of Apocalypse". The middle layer is labeled with the eleventh to twenty years of the Apocalypse, but the top layer has no label.

Xintianyou squatted down and gently opened the door of the cabinet for the fourth year of the apocalypse.

It is a very strange thing that the catcher of Qiyun County once went to Dengfeng County to check the file, but was unceremoniously rejected.

Criminals are mobile, and public doors are connected. What's more, the date of the missing person case and the Xinji Racecourse bloodshed coincide, and the geographical proximity may be related to the two.

There is no reason to refuse, unless there is a hidden element in it that is not suitable for proliferation.

There were nine files stacked in the compartment, covered with dust, less than an inch high. It seems that the law and order in Dengfeng County is good, and only nine serious criminal cases have occurred in a whole year.

Xintianyou took out the top one, blew off the dust and opened it to see.

It records a case of death due to drunken brawl during the first month, with testimony from bystanders, confessions of criminals, lawsuits from relatives, government verdicts, and so on. The inspection report was very careful, not only describing the death clearly, but also drawing the firewood knife that committed the murder.

He glanced at it, put the file back, and took out the one underneath. Seeing that it was a case of stealing and killing cattle in late spring and March, he put it back on hold.

These files are chronologically followed, and the next one should be the Xinji Racecourse Massacre in April.

When he opened the cover, Xin Tianyou couldn't believe his eyes, and there was a faint bad feeling in his heart.

Damn, the following jumped directly to an adultery and poisoning case in May.

He quickly stuffed it back and continued to look down.

It's a pity that I read all nine files, but I didn't see the bloody case at the racecourse. It seems that in April of the fourth year of the apocalypse, the territory of Dengfeng County was safe and sound. I opened the two cabinet doors of the third and fifth years of the Apocalypse next door, but I still couldn't find it.

Xintianyou restored the file to its original state and pondered for a while.

It doesn't make sense!

Sun Xuan's words are conclusive, and they are by no means groundless.

In such a major case, if the file is not lost, is it transferred by the Criminal Department?

Xintianyou settled down and found that there was no label on the top floor of this row of huge cabinets.

What's inside?
