Chapter Twenty-Six: The Invisible Killer

"Strange expression?" Song Nian frowned: "Lord Prefect, it's not clear here, why don't we go directly to the scene?" “

Governor Li hurriedly said: "Okay, I've already let a few catchers watch over there!" Let them not go anywhere! Show me the scene! ”

Then, Governor Li asked the officials to withdraw, escorted a few people, and went to the scene of the crime together.

The scene of this crime is ...... Under the gates of Kuhara Castle.

To be precise, it is the city of urns.

In the entire Jiuyuan City, there is only this place, which is the most suitable for galloping horses.

Song Nian got out of the carriage and walked directly to the pile of corpses in front.

At this time, the sky has turned white, and this scene can be seen more clearly.

Dozens of sturdy corpses were scattered indiscriminately on the ground.

And the fire in the center is also planted with three or four corpses, so that the air is filled with the smell of barbecue.

Song Nian frowned slightly, but still covered his nose and stepped forward to check.

The head-catcher in front of him bowed respectfully: "Master Song, please." ”

Song Nian saw that he was still an acquaintance.

It was the head catcher who came when Wang's crude medicine shop was on fire.

"What, you're there too?" Song Nian was secretly wary in his heart, why were the people of the Wang family there.

The king said with a smile: "Lord Huisong, tonight I am investigating the arson case of the medicine shop, and I was already in prison, and I happened to be sent by the adults to investigate this case." ”

Song Nian thought about it, this is a model of being caught working overtime on the night shift.

She nodded, and stepped forward to examine the bodies.

From this point of view, the problem is ...... Put it on the face.

However, in order to verify his conjecture, Song Nian asked these heads to catch heads, pulled out the clothes of several corpses, and examined them carefully.

Wounds...... Exactly what she thought.

"Someone, help me get rid of this." Song Nian pointed to the wound on the thigh of the corpse in front of him.

"Okay, it's open." A small figure sprang out from behind Song Nian, and stepped forward to open the wound on the corpse's thigh.

Song Nian saw that it was a little beggar.

"Hey, how did you get in?" Song Nian glanced around.

"I came with you, and they didn't chase me away." The little beggar's eyes rolled, and Song Nian knew that he was not telling the truth.

"Got under the carriage, didn't you?" Song Nian patted his head: "You're not afraid of this corpse?" ”

The little beggar shook his head again and again: "What is there to be afraid of the dead." With that, he reached out and continued to open the wound on the corpse's leg.

"Sister, I want to learn this from you, which is to cut people to death with a knife."

The little beggar stared at Song Nian with sparkling eyes.

Song Nian frowned, and stretched out his hand to open him: "Don't touch it, it's not clean!" ”

The little beggar looked at his dirty hands and smiled: "It's okay, I'm not afraid." ”

"I'm afraid! Cadaver wounds must not be contaminated. Song Nian said angrily, and then took out two hook-like knives from the leather scroll beside him: "Take it, take one in each hand, open the wound, yes, that's it, don't let the dirty things fall in." ”

Under the firelight, the wound that was stretched open was visible from the inside of the clean.

Song Nian looked at the smooth facet and sighed.

"Master Song, what did you find?" Then Governor Li also came over. However, he glanced at the wound on the corpse's leg, and twisted his head unnaturally.

"The wound was smooth, the interior was neat, there were no stains remaining, and it was clearly cut with an extremely sharp and excellently maintained sharp object."

Song Nian looked at the wound and continued: "In addition, this wound, the entrance and the detachment, have obvious arcs, which are obviously injured by the scimitar......

Then, Song Nian examined the corpses one by one, and sure enough, as she guessed, these corpses, without exception, all died from this sharp knife wound.

Governor Li followed beside him and asked eagerly, "Is this ...... So many Hu people died, but it was a big deal. Master Song, can there be clues to the murderer? ”

Song Nian stood up and said with a smile: "Clues to the murderer? It depends on what kind of clues Governor Li wants? ”

"What kind of clues? Could it be that Master Song has many clues here? ”

Song Nian said with a smile: "If it is the murderer who directly killed these people, I can basically confirm it." ”

"The murderer who killed these people directly......" Governor Li frowned.

This Song master book, there are words in the words.

"Please also ask Master Song to solve my doubts."

Song Nian smiled and said lightly: "This is Wengcheng, dare to ask the prefect, at that time, could you bring the soldiers on duty in Wengcheng nearby to question." ”

Governor Li nodded and said, "At that time, I naturally brought these soldiers to interrogate first. But according to these soldiers, tonight they were mainly guarding the direction outside the city, and these Hu people were drinking and carnivaling in the urn city, and they didn't dare to care. But later, when the sound of weapons slashing suddenly came to mind, they looked down. only to find that these Hu people were wielding knives and slashing, but there were no enemies. The soldiers were frightened and did not dare to look at it more. Afterward...... These Hu people are all dead...... From the beginning to the end, the soldiers did not see anyone else entering. ”

Speaking of this, Governor Li pondered: "I didn't believe it at first, but several catchers who came to investigate said that there was indeed no trace of anyone going in around." ”

Song Nian smiled: "That's right! ”

Governor Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Master Song mean...... Do you know how these people died? ”

Song Nian smiled, picked up a scimitar from the ground, gently placed it on the wound of a dead corpse, and closed it tightly: "Cannibalism and death." ”

The surrounding headhunters were suddenly displeased, and said loudly: "Can't we see this?" It's just that...... Although these Hu people are fierce, we all know in Jiuyuan City that these Hu people are extremely united, and it is impossible to kill each other, not to mention, I specially asked the husband and the soldiers of Wengcheng, and they all said that before these Hu people died, they shouted that there were people, so they fought hard, and then looked at the gap in their knives, it was obvious that they were fighting with the enemy...... I just can't figure it out, can ...... The enemy is invisible! ”

Song Nian smiled: "This head catcher, you are right, it is true." ”

The head catcher was stunned: "Invisibility? It's impossible! ”

Song Nian smiled again and said to the head catcher: "Indeed, you are right, stealth, it is impossible. ”

These words made the people around him confused.

Song Nian looked around: "First of all, these Hu people did see the enemy, so they fought hard. ”

"Secondly...... The enemies of these Hu people are indeed invisible. ”

Wang Zhutou frowned: "Lord Song, if I don't question it, it's really ...... Since it is invisible, it cannot be seen, but why, can it be seen? ”

Song Nian smiled and said lightly: "It's an illusion!" ”

"Hallucinations?" The surrounding catchers and yamen all felt that they couldn't understand.

It was Governor Li, who groaned, and suddenly said: "Could it be that they ......?"

Song Nian smiled: "That's right, it's what Governor Li thinks!" ”
