The forest is gloomy, tall and tall trees cover the sky, look up and can't see the edge, black, there is green smoke, the wind is howling, although there is a fragrance overflowing, but there is a depressing smell, making people block their hearts and breathless.

The county lord of Nirui stood in place, not daring to move, simply dumbfounded.

What's the situation? They were just driven into the ghost forest by a dog?

I only heard Shang Shuwei's slightly trembling voice say, "Ni, Nirui, did you hear any strange sounds?" ”

Before the words landed, they heard a hoarse voice like a woman's cry, which frightened them, and they subconsciously hid behind the tree, and their hands were tightly clasped together, and neither dared to move.

"Woo--"

The strange sound of the wind blew in their ears, making them tense and huddled firmly behind the tree, and the two of them were so close together that they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Suddenly the sound was getting closer and closer, and the two of them stood behind the tree extremely nervously and listened, their hearts beating violently, and in the quiet night, bursts of miserable and terrible women's cries continued to come from this dark wood.

Frightened, they all trembled, and the county lord of Nirui looked at Shang Shuwei in panic, and her voice was so small that only they could hear it.

"You, don't you believe in ghosts?"

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm ......"

The trembling voices of the two slid through the fierce wind, blowing off a few leaves, and suddenly the words that the county lord Ni Rui wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound, and his eyes were full of horror.

Shang Shuwei's eyes were wide open, she couldn't close them, she looked at the red clothes on the ground with a white face, she felt cold and cold in front of her, she swallowed her saliva, and her legs were a little weak.

Little by little, she looked up until a green face met her eyes, and she felt something pressing down on her, causing her body to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

Xiao Ke and Xinglu and the guards were anxiously looking for the Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei, but they didn't find them for a long time, they were worried that something would happen, so they hurriedly asked people to find Lord Shang first.

Shang Weihang learned that his daughter and the county lord Nirui were missing, and personally led people to turn over Bu Weng Lin overnight, but he still didn't find them, he read the books of sages and didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

Therefore, he didn't believe that he was captured by a ghost as the county order said, someone must have pretended to be a ghost, and since he was a human, he would definitely leave traces.

Sure enough, he found Shang Shuwei's hairpin on the ground, because of the rain, the soil in the grass was still wet and soft, so the footprints were also obvious, and it was very clear that there were three different footprints, all of which looked small, like women's footprints.

But only that one had footprints and obvious fall marks, but no traces were found elsewhere. But when he looked up, he found dirt-laden footprints on the trees.

Since there are footprints, it means that they are not ghosts. The county magistrate's hanging heart also settled down a lot, but he couldn't help but tremble at the thought of Nirui County Lord having an accident on his territory.

If he doesn't find the Neon Rui County Lord as soon as possible, the head on his neck won't be saved!

Situ Yimo learned from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the next morning about the disappearance of the Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei in Min County, and she was frightened for a while, and then she became worried, she was worried that the Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei had fallen into the hands of the murderer.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and they originally planned to wait for the rain to stop and go directly to Weicheng, but the disappearance of the county lord of Nirui is not a small matter. Because Princess Yaoping and the concubine are going to turn Min County upside down.

So the rain was a little lighter, and they went down the mountain to Minxian, and when they came they had a carriage and two horses. It's raining now, and the two horses can't be ridden.

Originally, Gong Bohuai thought that Situ Yimo was a woman after all, and it was not good to ride in a carriage with them, which would damage her reputation, so he planned to hire another carriage.

But Situ Yimo said that there was no need to be so troublesome, anyway, the carriage was big enough, and it was more than enough to stuff her.

When he heard this, Gong Bohuai was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Situ Yimoruo's frank and elegant appearance, he knew that she really didn't care, and he followed her wishes.

Because they all know martial arts, the carriage does not have a bench like a pedal, only wheelchair auxiliary equipment. Seeing Situ Yimo raise his feet, he also politely raised his arm, but before his hand could be raised, Situ Yimo had already jumped in.

Seeing such a chic and relaxed movement, he smiled and followed in.

Sure enough, the women in Situ Wangfu are all free and frank people.

As Situ Yimo said, His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage is not luxurious, but it is very spacious, and the four of them sit together, all of which look very empty. There's everything in it.

Because the dim sum made by Shang Shuwei is really delicious, so Situ Yimo is nervous, and her mouth can't be empty, and she keeps eating it when she sees hibiscus cake and lotus seed cake on the square table.

Seeing that the four plates of dim sum were bottoming out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's slender index finger nodded at his beautiful eyebrows, a smile on the corner of his mouth, poured her a cup of tea, looked at her and asked.

"Are you hungry?"

"I... Ahem--"

"Be careful, don't choke."

Seeing that she was choking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gently patted Situ Yimo's back and reminded her to eat slowly.

Tang Wuchi took out four plates of dim sum from the dim sum lattice very intimately at this moment, which were emerald green and blue, and it was pleasing to the eye, but he felt that when Situ Yimo ate them, it was even more dazzling.

"Eat more."

"Try this, it's soft and smooth, but it's delicious."

"And this, fresh squid crisp, this is the world's delicious jade drunken beef, and this is my favorite sweet and sour fish balls."

Situ Yimo looked at Tang Wuchi very intimately introducing dim sum to her, was stunned, and then looked at the four plates of dim sum that he had emptied, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Raising her eyes to the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she immediately looked away in embarrassment, took a piece of snack in her hand, and looked at the particles of rain outside the window.

Tang Wuchi is an idle person, and he can still see the scenery while riding a horse, but he can only meditate quietly when he sits in the carriage, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gong Bohuai are people who don't like to talk, so they like to close their eyes and recuperate. So, he really didn't like to ride in a carriage.

But now it's different, there is still a Situ Yimo in the carriage. Therefore, he wanted to lean next to Situ Yimo and chat with her properly, but it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting next to her.

But this didn't affect him to chat, and pulled Situ Yimo to talk endlessly. Although Situ Yimo was also quiet, she felt very interesting listening to Tang Wuchi's words, so she chatted with him naturally.

Tang Wuchi talked about interesting things in Chang'an, and Situ Yimo talked about some of the past things she experienced. The two chatted with great interest.

Gong Bohuai used to think that Tang Wuchi was very noisy, but I don't know why he listened to the conversation between the two today, and he could still listen quietly. If he had changed his normal life, he would have shouted to shut up.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat elegantly on the side as usual untying the nine rings made of purple jade, and the curvature of the corners of his lips was very subtle.

After arriving in Minxian County, the weather has cleared, although it is already late autumn, but the sunshine in Minxian County is still very bright, making people feel warm, but suddenly a shout in this warm air seems very abrupt.

"Ahh

"Dead!"

A woodcutter tripped over something, and when he looked up to see that it was a person, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he held his breath to probe his nose, and found that he was not breathing, so frightened that he instinctively kicked his long legs back. Thinking of the recent female ghost asking for his life, he shouted at the top of his voice, for fear that the female ghost was nearby.

Because there was still a small village living nearby, when they heard the shouting, they ran out a few big men, and when they saw that someone was dead, they walked a few villagers to report to the Yamen, and they were bold enough to go forward to see the situation.

It seems that someone recognized the deceased and said that he was the concubine of the forester's family. After all, Lin Yuanwai is a famous figure in Min County, and he is also the largest grain merchant in Min County, and everyone who buys rice knows him.

For the people outside the forester's family, many people have seen it. Hearing that it was the son of the forester, some people had the courage to take a closer look, and at this look, it was indeed the concubine of the forester, the third young master of Lin, Lin Donghang.

There is a murder case, Situ Yimo is going to come out to take a look, and Gong Bohuai, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, also has to take a look. Tang Wuchi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not get off the carriage, one did not want to, and the other was inconvenient.

When Situ Yimo and Gong Bohuai came out, a large group of villagers had already gathered around, and those people were stunned when they saw Situ Yimo's nun clothes, and thought she was from the nunnery, but her cold and snowy temperament told them that she was not a Taoist aunt.

Seeing Gong Bohuai walking behind, they felt the death gaze, the air around them was frozen, and they were so depressed that people were panting and panicking, and when they saw that he wanted to see the corpse, everyone instinctively made a way for him.

Situ Yimo took a closer look at the man lying on the ground, she also heard everyone's discussion just now, and knew his identity, so she was not curious about the fabric on his body, as well as the precious jade pendant on his waist.

"It was preliminarily concluded that the time of death of the deceased was about three minutes after the hour, only there were obvious strangulation marks on the neck, there was no poisoning, and the bruises on the neck should be fatal injuries." Gong Bohuai's cool voice sounded.

Situ Yimo was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him with great admiration, although she occasionally investigates cases, she is not good at these jobs.

Therefore, seeing that Gong Bohuai just glanced at the deceased, he could judge it, and he admired it very much.

"Miss Situ, what have you discovered?"

After Gong Bohuai took out a little foreign object from the deceased's fingernails, he looked at Situ Yimo, who was standing still and pondering, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"If you want to say that I found out, I am not as professional and rigorous as Gong Shaoqing, but I smell a very strange fragrance." Situ Yimo thought about it and said, she didn't feel it at first, but as soon as she got close to the deceased, she smelled a strange smell.

"Strange, aroma?" Gong Bohuai asked curiously.
