In the Song Mansion, Luo Yunfan looked at Qin Qiu, who had just taken a bath, wearing a hair and hair, sitting cross-legged on the stone table in the courtyard, basking in the morning sun while playing with a clay cat pen in his hand, and he couldn't smile at all.

"You messed things up, you killed all the people, but you didn't bring the things back." He said calmly.

Qin Qiu looked up and smiled at him, "Don't worry, no matter who finds it, just grab it." ”

"Why do you make mistakes, you shouldn't be such a soft-hearted person." Luo Yunfan was puzzled, Qin Qiu was also a master in questioning, as long as it was a task with a finding object, he would put the other party's relatives and friends together and ask for a price. The relatives who killed the target came to ask him, and the ruthlessness was the reason why he got the most names.

And this time, he killed all the people in the Yanhong Courtyard, but he didn't get what he wanted. Obviously, the spies had indeed discovered that something had appeared, but in the hands of Qiu Shufang, he killed all the people and didn't get the things in his hands.

As for Qin Qiu getting something, but pretending not to get it, Luo Yunfan still believes in Lingge's credibility, and this will not happen.

Qin Qiu let out a rare sigh, "When I first started asking, a noisy woman came out and shouted, and the noise was annoying, so I killed her." Unexpectedly, after Qiu Shufang recruited him, he couldn't find anything in the place where he hid it. He pressed the others to tell him that the noisy woman had entered his house and had been stolen by her. ”

Her head fell to the ground, so naturally there was no way to force her to ask, but those people in the yamen would definitely find it out. When the time comes, I'll snatch it for you, and it's a gift, so you don't have to pay for it. ”

Luo Yunfan stared at him and said, "This is your mistake, if you can't get it back and leave Hongzhou, Lingge will have to pay the price." ”

"No matter how many people die, Lingge will complete the task, and whatever you want will be found for you, no matter whose hands it is. If you can't find it, the person who knows will also kill you, return the bounty tenfold, and help you complete ten more tasks. Qin Qiu played with the cat in his hand and said casually.

This kind of thing Luo Yunfan didn't see at all, if it weren't for the uncertainty of this time, if there were just rumors, he wouldn't have looked for Lingge to make a move. If such a task can't be completed, then what is the need for Lingkaku to exist?

He didn't just know Qin Qiu, and he was very confident in his ability, but this time he made several mistakes, and he didn't do things cleanly, and there seemed to be only one reason, that is, Zhuang Rou.

The woman's luck was always so good, it was almost certain that she didn't think so much about the case when she handled the case, and she didn't play a trick, but she made the case bigger again and again. There is also the seemingly incompetent gentleman of the King of Yindejun, the two of them get together, it is unbearable.

"It's too big a variable this time, and I'll send someone to go with you then." Luo Yunfan felt that he couldn't do this anymore, and he couldn't rely on him alone.

Qin Qiu glanced at him and said indifferently: "Whatever you want, but don't follow behind my ass, you will have to give money if you kill by mistake." I don't have money in my hands, and neither do yours. ”

The killer is so annoying, and he really wants money. Luo Yunfan didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left.

Zhuang Rou leaned against the door, the house full of corpses could now only be entered by Zhizhou and Qizuo, and everyone was blocked out of the door. And Chu Xia took a look at it and exclaimed and jumped back a few big steps, asking Hua Yulou to help him to the side, only willing to wait far away for the master to finish checking it out, and then come to him to report.

This case is too miserable, so many people died at one time, and if the case can't be solved, the entire yamen should be arrested and have to get the board, Zhuang Rou is a little better, and she has an inexplicable history, and it is not her turn to eat the board. But Ma Dezheng and the others had a serious face, and the big case would have a result in three days, and they themselves felt that the board was settled.

The entire Yanhong Courtyard was carefully investigated by the officials, and there were no useful clues, and even the murder room had no traces of the murderer except for blood and corpses.

It is so difficult to find evidence of how a human head can be cut so neatly, and how can it leave a trace of clues.

After the investigation, he walked over and reported to Chu Xiayu: "My lord, there are twenty-seven deceased, twenty-six women and one man. All of them were decapitated and died, with no other injuries on their bodies, and they died very cleanly. ”

The master also said next to him: "My lord, there are no other clues, there are no traces of chaos in all the rooms, it should not be for money, it may be a vendetta." ”

Chu Xia looked at Xu Tong's judgment, "Xu Tong's judgment, this case will be handled by you, and the real murderer will be arrested in five days." ”

Xu Tong's judgment of this kind of case is not small at first glance, and the broken neck is so neat, it must be done by a killer, and this kind of case will eventually become a death case. He was very reluctant to take over, but Fan Tongju was really arranged to go home to recuperate after fainting last time, and no one took this job except him.

There are still people who are elected, but if it is not necessary, she must not be allowed to get power. Xu Tongju glanced at Zhuang Rou, who was standing in the distance with no expression, if she came to solve this case, she would definitely attack the clan in Hongzhou again.

So he clenched his fists and said: "The lower officials must go all out to arrest the real murderer." ”

Chu Xia nodded and replied, "Then it's a lot of trouble to pass the judgment, I'm waiting for your good news." Under the bright and clear world, there are people who commit such murder, it is really the most evil, and the dead must be blinded. ”

"The next official retired." Knowing that this case was serious, Xu Tongju immediately called all the heads of arrest over and divided them into several groups. A group of people who went to the gate of the city to strictly check out the people who left the city. There was also a group of people who went around to ask if anyone heard the movement last night, and even the craftsmen had to be questioned one by one.

And when it was arranged for Ma Dezheng, although he looked like I would be serious and obedient, Xu Tongju still thought about it and left people here to continue to investigate clues.

stripped Zhuang Rou's people away, and Xu Tongju discussed the case with his master and scribe.

Hua Lou didn't know about Luo Yunfan's kind of thing, they were wine and meat friends who had a very good relationship, and they wouldn't go out of their way to inquire about the things that would set them on fire.

He didn't know who Yan Hongyuan had offended, but this murderous method was very similar to that killer. He didn't wander around, and he wasn't interested in the dead, he just helped Luo Yunfan and followed Chu Xia all the time.

Now he is honestly like a scribe, standing behind Chu Xia in a serious manner.

The scribe went out and bought a lot of coffins, and the corpses had to be taken away, but whose head and body belonged to him had to be distinguished. It was quite troublesome, and they had to hold the human head and try it one by one, looking for small differences.

Although Zhuang Rou has seen them, she doesn't know who is wearing what clothes, only the heads and bodies of those rough women, and they will definitely not mix with the girls.

Seeing that they were busy, she walked up to her master and asked, "Master, do you think that a Qinglou that can't earn much money can offend anyone, and can ask a killer to come over and kill everyone?" ”

The master touched his beard and said: "Sister Zhuang, I can't see this matter, it must be hatred to the core, and it is not aimed at one person, so that innocent people can be killed so indiscriminately." ”

Even if the girl or Tai Shufang offended someone, there was no need to kill the rough mother-in-law who lived in a remote place, the means were quite vicious, and the head was piled up into Jingguan. But a small green building, where can it offend a ruthless person, but it is a mystery.

"I suspect that it is a line of ashes, and the head cut is too flat, and it cannot be cut with a knife, only his line can do it. He's a killer, and adults have said he's very famous, and that is, the price is very high. The person who can find him and can afford to pay the price is not something that Tai Shu can offend. Zhuang Rou frowned and said.

"And the adults said that no one pays, he won't kill people, so he won't come and kill everyone in Yanhong Courtyard who is just me and I know because he was bitten by me."

Chu Xia glanced at her, fanned the smell of blood, wrinkled his nose and said, "The smell of blood here is too big, and it's rare for him to arrest everyone and kill them one by one." The killer is difficult to find, and the Lingge where he is located is also a dragon in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult for people in the rivers and lakes to find their whereabouts. ”

"If the killer can't be found, it will be impossible to find out who instigated it, and this case may become a Chen case like this, and it depends on whether Xu Tongju can find the murderer."

Zhuang Rou looked back at the room from afar, and could see the blood-stained ground, she tilted her head and thought, "Why did he arrest everyone here?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Xia looked at him.

Zhuang Rou continued: "The habit of killers is to do it quietly, even if all of them are women, it is better to go directly into the house and kill them than to endure their screams and take them to the same room. There's only one way to do that, and that's when you want to ask something. ”

"Because I don't know who knows, I called everyone together and killed a few to demonstrate, maybe I could scare a few timid people to speak out. Now that everyone has been killed, either they have asked what they want, or no one has said anything, and they have all been killed. ”

The master felt that it made sense, but he still felt that there was something unreasonable, "What kind of people or things can this Qinglou make people want to kill so many people and take them away?" ”

At this moment, Song Zhutou, who went to check the craftsmen, rushed over and hurriedly reported: "My lord, when my subordinates interrogated the craftsmen, I learned that they dug up a box yesterday and handed it over to Tai Shufang. ”

"What's in there?" Chu Xia became interested and asked curiously.

Song Zhutou was embarrassed and said: "My lord, the craftsman didn't open it, and it happened that Tai Shufang was there, so he gave it to him directly." It's a sandalwood box, and it's said to have been in the mud for some years. ”

Zhuang Rou glanced at Chu Xia, and immediately turned around and went to Tai Shufang's house, the last time she came to talk about things, she knew where Tai Shufang lived, so she stepped on the mud and rushed over there.

Tai Shufang's house has been repaired, and it has been inspected by the officials before, and the door is hidden and not closed. She pushed open the door and rushed upstairs, rummaging through the study first, and found a few boxes, but at first glance it was not the one that was dug up, and when she opened it, there were books or miscellaneous items.

She moved to the bedroom again, and even the futon was thrown on the floor, turning over and turning around, and she couldn't find anything like it.

There is no box, there is no box in the whole house!
