Leaving Wang Ershun's home, Chen Chao and An Pingyuan squatted on the side of the road and looked at the scenery under the mountain to rest, and the two rented horses grazing and drinking water and grazing by the creek.

An Pingyuan took out the wine jug, took a big sip of wine, wiped his mouth, handed the jug to Chen Chao, and said, "Brother, what do you think about this?" Do you think the fox demon really exists, and is Wang Ershun's testimony true or false? ”

Chen Chaowan refused An Pingyuan's offer of wine, chewed a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and said: "Chen has been overseas for many years, and science has proved that any evil spirit is a fantasy of people who do not understand things, and the fox demon can never exist. ”

But the beautiful woman in Wang Ershun's mouth is very likely to be real. Wang Ershun ended up like this, and the beautiful woman must be the culprit. As long as we can find this beautiful woman who has committed repeated crimes, then all problems can be solved. ”

"Brother Chen is right." An Pingyuan deeply agreed, he is relatively good at criminal investigation, but when it comes to reasoning ability, Chen Chao is a step ahead.

While talking, a group of people suddenly came on the official road in the rear, who were the arresters and pawns of the yamen of the Criminal Department.

Each of them had a knife in his hand, and his team was even armed with a few foreign guns, armed to the teeth, and behind them was driven by horses a large cart, covered with a white cloth, and it was not known what was pulled.

An Pingyuan was suspicious in his heart, glanced at Chen Chao, and stepped forward to block the way.

The arrester in charge of opening the way immediately scolded: "Hey, what are you two who dare to block the errand of the Criminal Department, don't you want to live?" ”

"What's going on?" The catcher in the back asked and stepped forward.

After An Pingyuan saw the catcher, he immediately clenched his fists: "Brother Yu, don't come to harm?" ”

This person is the arrester of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Yutai took a closer look, and after seeing An Pingyuan's appearance clearly, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be the bounty hunter Lord An, and his subordinates don't know Lord An, so please don't be surprised." ”

An Pingyuan works for the imperial court, often goes in and out of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and is even more loved by Lord Rong, ordinary soldiers may not know An Pingyuan, but leaders like Yutai naturally know him.

An Pingyuan smiled and asked by the way: "By the way, Brother Yu, what are you doing with all this fanfare?" They even brought out foreign guns. ”

Yutai sighed and said to An Pingyuan: "It's not to deal with that fox demon?" None of these romantic talents who went to Beijing to take the exam were fuel-efficient lamps, and they had long been asked not to go out of the city, but there were still people who did not listen to the advice, which was not ...... Fold another ......" with regret between his words, and at the same time set his eyes on the white cloth covering the cart.

An Pingyuan glanced at Chen Chao, and at the same time was shocked by the murderer's unscrupulousness, committing crimes continuously, blatantly provoking the government, and ignoring the imperial court.

"Brother Yu, can I take a look at the body of this victim?" An Pingyuan asked.

Yutai made an inviting gesture and said, "Lord An, please." ”

An Pingyuan came to the side of the cart, and Chen Chao stood sideways.

An Pingyuan unveiled the white cloth.

Seeing the body, Chen Chao immediately frowned, Rao was mentally prepared and frightened.

Chen Chao now knows how lucky it is that Wang Ershun was able to pick up a life under the pomegranate skirt of the fox demon, it was simply smoke from the ancestral tomb.

……

After Yutai and the others transported the body of the victim and left, Chen Chao couldn't help but ask An Pingyuan: "Brother An, you have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, do you know what kind of exercises can turn a big living person into a ...... Skinny? ”

There are no words to describe it except skin and bones.

An Pingyuan pinched his chin and paced back and forth for a long time before he said, "Such a vicious exercise is definitely not from the Central Plains...... In my early years, when my father was alive, I mentioned to me that the Blue Dragon Society of Wuge seemed to have this kind of evil technique of refining internal strength with human spirits......"

"Wuge?" Chen Chao's head was full of question marks and asked, "Brother An, where is Wuge?" ”

Chen Chao traveled here and only knew that this was Dayan, and as for what else was outside Dayan, he didn't know anything.

This time it was An Pingyuan's turn to be puzzled, and looked at Chen Chao and asked: "Brother Chen, you have studied in the West all the year round, haven't you heard that in the eastern soil of Dayan, there is an island country of Wuge above the open sea?" ”

Of course Chen Chao has never heard of it, his identity in foreign countries is all forged, just fooling people, as a traverser, there is no way to fool people.

Hearing An Pingyuan ask, Chen Chao could only quibble: "Although I have been abroad all these years, I have never paid attention to the world pattern, even Dayan is the first time I have come back, Wuge is really the first time I have heard of it, and I ask Brother An not to laugh." ”

An Pingyuan nodded in understanding, and then explained: "Although the island country of Wuge is not very big, it has always had the ambition to enter the Central Plains, and the national strength is strong, and it can even compete with the great powers. Ants can still fight elephants, not to mention that this black song is not just an ant. ”

Chen Chao nodded silently, his heart was the same as that of Spiegel, but Chen Chao was not a person from Dayan, he was a modern person, and he did not belong to any country in this alternate world, and he was not a citizen of any country, so there was no need or reason to pay attention to the national hatred of the indigenous people.

Chen Chao has his own goal, and his only goal, is to survive. With the help of the goldfinger grandfather, he can cure his terminal illness and live, it's as simple as that.

As for whether you should reach the pinnacle of life after you live, that is something that can only be considered after you live.

"Okay, we can't care about national affairs, let's talk about the case." An Pingyuan said, while leading the horse grazing by the creek back, turned over on the horse, and said to Chen Chao: "The murderer has just committed the crime, and being so unscrupulous must be disdainful of the official, and it is very likely that he did not go too far away, we will rush to the crime site now, maybe we can find some clues, and catch this murderer!" ”

Chen Chao thought about it and felt that there was nothing bad about going to the scene to investigate, but now he didn't know anything about this murderer, and there was very little information, so it was naturally best if he could find clues at the scene.

So, Chen Chao also retrieved the horse, got on the horse and followed behind An Pingyuan, who had already asked Yutai about the location of the crime, and galloped on the horse, and arrived at the destination in a short time.

Although there is no trace here, but the scenery is very beautiful, the lake and mountains are intoxicating, it is hard to imagine that under such an intoxicating scenery, there is a talented man who died here, just in response to that sentence, the rose dies, and the ghost is also romantic.

I don't know if that talented man had any remorse before he died, and regretted that he shouldn't have given his life for the unwarranted Yan Ruyu.
