Chapter 9: The First Dead

This time Qi Xiao came to find Li Lingyu mainly because of Ye Zhan, Ye Zhan heard that Li Lingyu was missing and did not return overnight, and he was anxious, but his identity was different, and he could not come to the door to find someone in person, Qi Xiao intended to be friendly with Ye Zhan, so he volunteered to come to the door.

As soon as Li Lingyu saw Qi Xiao, he pulled him out: Let's go, let's go see Ye Gongzi!

Qi Xiao's eyes flashed, Li Lingyu could actually guess that Ye Zhan asked him to come to her, it seemed that he was really smart, he really underestimated him before.

In Ye Zhan's private room in the drunken immortal building in the city, Qi Xiao and Li Lingyu entered the door, and Qi Xiao said to Ye Zhan with a smile: Ye Gongzi, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I finally brought someone to you!

Ye Zhan bowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: There is Lao Qi Gongzi, paused, he looked at Li Lingyu, frowned and said: I heard yesterday that you didn't return for a day, so I asked Qi Gongzi to come to inquire about the news, what happened to you?

Li Lingyu rolled her eyes, and told yesterday's events vividly, her eloquence was excellent, and she had only learned people, and the description was even more vivid as if she was there.

Ye Zhan listened to it with relish, with a look of fascination, and finally said indignantly: "There is such a cruel murderer in the city!" What an abomination! Maybe he will continue to hurt people, and he should be caught as soon as possible! ”

Li Lingyu bowed slightly, and said with a face full of approval: "What Ye Gongzi said is very true! That's exactly what happened! It's just that I see that Master Chen seems to have something unspeakable about this case," After a pause, she looked at Ye Zhan: "Doesn't Ye Gongzi know about this matter?" It's been a long time since this kind of homicide happened in Dengzhou, right? You are the son of the assassin, how can you not know it? ”

Qi Xiao also frowned and said, "I haven't heard of a murder in the city!" ”

Li Lingyu and Qi Xiao glanced at each other, both of them avoided their gazes, everyone is a smart person, they should know what to ask and what not to ask.

Ye Zhan pursed his lips, his eyes were astringent, and he said in a deep voice: "For such a big thing, you don't even go to find the murderer!" Where do they put the safety of the people?! ”

Li Lingyu's eyes were a little disappointed, she thought that Ye Zhan could know some inside information, but she didn't expect that she didn't know anything.

Li Lingyu laughed, "That, it's all gossip, Ye Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart, but it's just some ordinary people, adults should have a decision, let's read first, don't meddle in this matter." ”

Ye Zhan said with a straight face: "Li Gongzi's words are wrong! We scholars, in the future, when we enter the imperial examination as officials, we want to be the masters of the people, and if we don't meet them, we just don't meet them, since we have met them, how can we turn a blind eye? ”

Li Lingyu immediately made a moved look, and said earnestly: "Ye Gongzi is dedicated to the people, I really admire it!" After a pause, she sighed, "I'm really not as good as Ye Gongzi!" In the future, if Ye Gongzi enters the court as an official, it will really be a blessing for the people! ”

Qi Xiao couldn't help but glance at Li Lingyu, this shameless! To please Ye Zhan is to please him, and he actually said it so righteously and awe-inspiring.

"Definitely! Ye Gongzi is indeed a role model for my generation! Qi Xiao said not to be outdone.

Ye Zhan hesitated for a moment, he looked at Li Lingyu: "Lingyu, after yesterday's incident, we can be regarded as having shared hardships and hardships, and everyone is brothers, so I will say it directly, according to you, what is the secret of this case?" ”

Li Lingyu hesitated slightly, and Ye Zhan said, "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Li Lingyu thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "I think that the person who died yesterday was not the first to die, in addition to him, it is very likely that there are other deceased!" ”

Ye Zhan was shocked: "This, I've never heard of this!" If there really were other deceased, it would be impossible for nothing to come out! ”

Qi Xiao also said with a skeptical face: "I haven't heard of it either, and my grandfather hasn't mentioned it, and it's the same as before." ”

Although Li Zhaoguang and Qi Yuanshan were demoted to Dengzhou, they have official positions in the end, and they are still great figures in this small Dengzhou, as their children, they must be more well-informed than ordinary people.

Li Lingyu said solemnly: "Yesterday, the villagers went to report to the official, Lord Chen arrived at the scene, and when he found the deceased, his expression was very calm, not surprisingly, although the death of the deceased was not terrible, but it was also ferocious and hideous, especially his hands were cut off, which was also extremely terrifying!" But Lord Chen didn't seem surprised, and took the body away without examining the scene too much. ”

"You're saying Lord Chen's reaction was too calm." Ye Zhan said thoughtfully.

Li Lingyu nodded: "Judging from Lord Chen's reaction, plus until now, even Ye Gongzi doesn't know about this homicide case, I think there may be more than one deceased." ”

"Isn't that a serial murder?!" Qi Xiao couldn't help but say with wide eyes.

Li Lingyu glanced at Ye Zhan and said casually: "I really want to know the truth, who is the murderer?" ”

When Ye Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but say expectantly: "Then why don't we check it ourselves?" After a pause, his eyes were excited: "Think about it, wouldn't it be a great thing if we could find the murderer one step earlier than the government?" ”

Qi Xiaogang wanted to say, I'm afraid this is not good, they are all white ding, and it is a bit too much to meddle in the affairs of the government.

Li Lingyu clapped her hands, looked at Ye Zhan with admiration on her face, and said, "Ye Gongzi is really a good idea!" Ye Gongzi can have such a great ambition, he really deserves to be a model for my generation! After a pause, she looked at Ye Zhan with sincere eyes: "Yesterday's incident, I know that in addition to studying, Ye Gongzi also has the world in mind, which is why I will help Ye Gongzi get out, otherwise, if someone else changes, he will put a knife on my neck, and I will not help him!" ”

Can you just stop blowing it? Can you blow someone else's words?

But Ye Zhan ate this set, his eyes were slightly moved, and he felt that no one understood him, only Li Lingyu understood him best!

Li Lingyu sighed secretly in his heart, in fact, it is nothing, the Ye family is a scholarly family, all of them are Wenchen, and they also govern the family with Wen, but Ye Zhan can actually ride and shoot and martial arts, and he can hit the lantern hanging under the eaves from such a distance, which shows that his skills are extraordinary, this is not the heirloom of the Ye family.

And when the lantern was broken at that time, Ye Zhan didn't stand up and admit it immediately, not because he was a coward, but because he wanted to hide his martial arts skills.

Another good boy who was delayed by the prejudice of the elders in the family, Li Lingyu thought with great emotion.

What can Qi Xiao do when he sees this? He swallowed the words he wanted to object, and said with a smile: "In this case, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" ”

Li Lingyu couldn't help but smile, she was really happy, now someone took responsibility for her! It's not her own trouble!

The three teenagers are all not afraid of big things when they see the excitement, and since they have decided, they must do it, one has the right, one is strategic, and the other is bold, and the whole Dengzhou can turn over.

Li Lingyu proposed to go to the corpse room to have a look first, which made Qi Xiao hesitate.

"Well, isn't that right?" No one will like to look at a corpse, no one!

Ye Zhan is not afraid, but a little eager to try, Li Lingyu guessed right, Ye Zhan actually liked the most since he was a child, is to practice martial arts, not to study literature, his ambition is to go to the battlefield and defend the country.

How can a brave soldier be afraid of the dead?

Ye Zhan said, "Then you stay, I'll go with Lingyu!" ”

Qi Xiao was very vigilant, obviously he knew Ye Zhan first, but now it seems that Ye Zhan is obviously closer to Li Lingyu.

"How can that be? Say yes, everyone is going together! Qi Xiao said awe-inspiringly.

The three small yamen can basically walk sideways in Dengzhou, Qi Xiao and Li Lingyu don't have this ability, but one Ye Zhan is completely okay!

The three of them entered the yamen smoothly, and no one dared to stop him anyway, but there were people guarding the morgue, and Li Lingyu glanced at Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao looked inexplicable, "What are you doing?" ”

"You go and get people away." Li Lingyu said unceremoniously.

"I'm not going! Why don't you go? Qi Xiao said dissatisfiedly.

Li Lingyu blinked, and said in a flat tone: "It's okay for me to go, then you will go in and turn over the corpse?" ”

Qi Xiao didn't say a word, turned around and went to talk to the officers and soldiers guarding it.

As soon as Qi Xiao left, Li Lingyu couldn't help but smile and said to Ye Zhan: "Qi Gongzi is just a little awkward occasionally!" ”

Ye Zhan nodded slightly.

The two quietly walked into the morgue, the security in Dengzhou was not bad, the morgue was not overcrowded, Ye Zhan thought he was bold, and took the lead in opening a covered corpse.

However, even if he was prepared, the impact of actually seeing the corpse was still very large, Ye Zhan couldn't help but take a step back, looking at the whitened corpse, he covered his mouth, trying to hold back the feeling of gagging.

Li Lingyu leaned over with a handkerchief over her face.

Ye Zhan: "??? ”

Li Lingyu didn't notice his eyes, and looked at the corpse seriously, "It's him, the corpse I found yesterday is him!" ”

Ye Zhan saw that there was another one lying next to him, this time he had experience, he took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and as soon as he lifted the white cloth, Ye Zhan screamed.

"Lingyu! Come and see! Sure enough, it's the same as you said! This man, this man's ten fingers were also cut off! Ye Zhan exclaimed.

Ye Zhan looked at Li Lingyu's eyes with surprise at this time, yesterday Li Lingyu found out that it was the lantern he had broken, but it was impossible to compare with the current homicide case, Li Lingyu only relied on his relationship with Chen Fengyi, and deduced that there was more than one deceased, with a delicate mind and keen insight, which was really impressive.

And she's only a teenager this year!

Li Lingyu didn't notice Ye Zhan's eyes, she lowered her head and was seriously looking at the other corpse.
