Su Xiang sent Gu Shu out of the door with an expression of eating Xiang, his face sank in the next second, he immediately called the carriage, and said in a hurry, "Prepare the car, enter the palace!" ”

This matter involves King Ning, he can't help it if something happens, he must tell the emperor!

……

At this moment, Gu Shu was sprinkling and selling cuteness to his second and third brothers, and finally with their consent, let him handle the case together.

At this time, they were going to the corpse of the Ministry of Punishment.

On the way, Gu Er briefly introduced Gu Shu, and when he arrived at the place, he had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Er stepped forward to negotiate with him, Gu Shu listened to it for a while, and the four of them died in different ways.

The first deceased was found in a rudimentary hut and was found in flames, with only a charred body found.

The second deceased was reported by someone, and it is said that when the innkeeper went to the room to deliver food, he found that he was hanging on the hanging beam, and his body was cold.

The third deceased was found by several hunters who had gone up the mountain in the suburbs, and had fallen from a cliff, shattered to pieces and dried up in blood.

The corpses that had just been transported this morning were also found in the old forest in the suburbs, and the corpses were eaten by wild beasts, leaving only the remains.

The four corpses in the morgue were placed side by side, the corpses were rotting and pungent, but Gu Shu didn't realize it, he checked them one by one, and his face sank like water.

The method of death varies, but the charred body is, according to a neighbor, a scholar; The same is true for those who hang themselves; As for the beast that devoured him, a broken book of poetry was found not far away; The deceased who fell off the cliff was also identified as a scholar......

They're all scholars......

He wrinkled his eyebrows in thought.

The corpses were all adult males, of different heights, except for the first one, the broken clothes on the body belonged to cotton and linen, ordinary clothes, not expensive, and the identity was ordinary.

His fingers rubbed his chin, and a cold wind poured in through the window, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly, and his brow furrowed slightly, as if he had smelled something......

When Gu Shu sniffed again, the air was rancid except for dust and musty.

I always feel like I've been overlooked......

"Xiaoshu? Xiaoshu? ”

Gu Shu came back to his senses, turned around and saw Gu San waving at him, shouting, "Let's go!" ”

Gu Shu had no choice but to press his doubts and follow them, "Where are you going?" ”

"Let's go for clues first, check them separately, do you want to be with the second brother, or follow the third brother?"

Gu Shu walked silently to Gu Er's side without even blinking his eyes.

Gu San: ......

It's very sour.

“…… Okay, the second brother's kung fu is better than mine, and I am more relieved to have him. ”

Gu San and Zhao Cheng led a team to investigate in the capital; And Gu Er took Gu Shu to the suburbs of the old forest.

In the suburbs, Gu Shuwan refused the kindness of taking the carriage, went hand in hand with Gu Er, and turned his head and asked, "Second brother, who do you think the murderer will be?" ”

Gu Er lost a lot of weight, and the edges and corners of his face were even more distinct, like a sharp cold blade out of the sheath, he said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it's not simple." ”

He raised his eyes, met Gu Shu's eyes, and promised, "Don't worry, the second brother will protect you." ”

The man's dark eyes were full of seriousness, giving people a great sense of security, Gu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then showed his face, "Hmm! ”

The cold wind hit, Gu Shu sneezed suddenly, his nose was itchy, and with his movements, he happened to see a few children playing in the open grass, throwing things in their hands to the ground with a small crackling sound, and then, a peculiar smell filled the air.

Gu Shu's originally smiling face changed suddenly, he pulled the reins hard, turned around and shouted, "It's not good, someone wants to set fire to the corpse!" ”
