Jiang Zhan was shocked: "Corpse? ”

He was shocked not that the corpse would leave footprints, but that the fourth sister spoke in a calm and breezy tone when talking about the corpse.

However, Jiang Zhan quickly reacted, pointed to the pair of footprints on the ground and said incredulously: "No, the corpse can't go, how can it leave footprints?" ”

Jiang seemed to point to the pair of footprints that Jiang Zhan had discovered: "Didn't the second brother find that this pair of footprints is different from ordinary footprints?" ”

Jiang Zhan leaned over slightly, eager to put his eyes on it: "The size of the footprints is not surprising." ”

Long Dan and Lao Qin glanced at each other.

Jiang seemed to remind: "The left and right footprints are side by side, not staggered." ”

Jiang Zhan was puzzled: "Is this really the case, how can you walk here?" ”

"It's not for walking." Long Dan interjected.

Jiang Zhan looked at him.

Long Dan stretched out his two hands forward and jumped twice.

Jiang Zhan's eyes were straight, and he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "What are you doing, cheating corpses?" ”

Long Dan stopped, bent down slightly and looked directly at Jiang Zhan, who was half-squatting, and showed a weird smile: "Yes, it's a corpse." ”

Jiang Zhan raised his foot and kicked over.

Long Dan was caught off guard and was kicked in the knee, and his body fell to the ground.

Jiang Zhan said angrily: "Fuck your uncle, what kind of people are you scared to play?" ”

Long Dan rubbed his buttocks and got up, and said with a look of grievance: "Second son, how can I joke about such a serious, serious, and gloomy occasion!" ”

Jiang Zhan was stunned and couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhan.

In the heart of Jiang Ergongzi, he is naturally the purest and most reliable sister.

Seeing Jiang Ru nodded, he said calmly: "It should be left like that." ”

"Four, fourth sister—"

Jiang seemed to look over.

Jiang Zhan licked his lips: "You said the corpse jumped away by itself?" ”

"It's not accurate to say that he jumped away, someone should have driven him away." Jiang seemed to be a little embarrassed when he said this, "Maybe it's the boy who took the second brother away." ”

A slightly ugly young face immediately appeared in Jiang Zhan's mind.

It's actually polite to say that it's a little ugly, in Jiang Zhan's opinion, that kid is really ugly......

"I actually followed the inn, I was persistent enough." Jiang Zhan thought about the strange boy and shook his head.

Long Dan asked Yu Jin: "Master, what should I do now?" ”

Yu Jin groaned: "That young man should have no malicious intent, first trace these footprints and see which direction he is going." ”

Several people searched with oil lamps, and chased them until they reached the bluestone road, and there was no trace.

Yu Jin stood in the wind, and said after a while: "Go back to the inn." ”

"Master, if you don't find the body, what if you get into trouble?"

Yu Jin raised his chin: "It's almost dawn, let's go back to the inn to clean up and set off north, if there is trouble, we won't find it so quickly." ”

The corpse is gone, and staying to search indiscriminately and delay time is to put the cart before the horse, of course, to go ahead.

Jiang Zhan touched his nose, and said in his heart that the prince acted much more willfully than him, why was he beaten up by Lao Tzu, and people would be fine.

As Yu Jing expected, at this time, the Xue Miao clan was in chaos, and they couldn't even put out the fire that had begun to spread.

The patriarch died, the sky was half falling, and there were cries everywhere.

At this moment of chaos, a figure stepped into the fire in a very strange manner.

The house was on fire, and people were gathered in front of the house to cry or put out the fire, and no one noticed the figure walking into the fire from the back of the house.

"Put out the fire first, and then don't put out the fire, the whole village will burn down!" An elder second only to the Xue Miao patriarch shouted.

As soon as the crying stopped, more people joined the firefighting, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

In the midst of such chaos, a thin teenager quietly left.

The fire was finally extinguished, and some of them began to clean up the mess, while others wept around the body of the Xue Miao patriarch.

The elder carefully examined the body of the Xue Miao Patriarch with a sad expression: "The Patriarch has no external injuries. ”

The absence of trauma means that accidental death is more likely.

"Don't you have a neck either?" I don't know who asked.

The elder shook his head, "The patriarch died in the fire, and if there are strangulation marks, it will be difficult to detect them, unless—"

"Unless what?"

The elder hesitated for a moment, and said, "Use a sharp weapon to peel off the flesh of the neck and see if there are any scars on the throat bone......

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

Whether it is the Great Zhou or these tribes, most of them still pay attention to the deceased, and the body cannot be destroyed casually.

In the end, it was the son of the Xue Miao patriarch who gritted his teeth and said, "Although the elder checks it, I can't let my father die in a mess." ”

With the patriarch's son speaking, the elder had no scruples, and examined it more and more carefully, and finally shook his head.

"Impossible!" The patriarch's son was emotional, "Even if there is an accidental fire after his father is asleep, the Gu worms raised by his father will remind him. It is impossible for a father to be unaware. ”

Many clansmen said, "Yes, how could the patriarch be so easy-"

It is completely unacceptable that the patriarch who is high up on weekdays dies so easily.

"Why is my father in the study today?" The patriarch's son asked.

The patriarch of Xue Miao is a merry man, with a lot of beautiful wives and concubines, and in the cold winter, Layue does not drill the nephrite in the quilt but rests in the study, obviously something.

The elder frowned and said nothing, while the other elder's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, someone exclaimed: "There is another corpse!" ”

Several men carried a corpse over.

The corpse was charred black, but the degree of burn was obviously not as good as that of the Xue Miao patriarch, which was instantly recognizable.

"How is Ahsan?"

Ah Shan is regarded as the confidant of the Xue Miao patriarch, and he is generally not far from him.

The elder who spoke earlier leaned over to inspect it, and his face was a little ugly: "Ah Shan's neck is broken......"

Everyone's eyes wandered between the two corpses of the Xue Miao Patriarch and Ah Shan.

"What the hell is going on?" The son of the patriarch asked blankly.

The elder looked around and said, "Let's go into the house." ”

Including the son of the patriarch, seven or eight people poured into one room.

These seven or eight people can be regarded as the ruling layer of the Xue Miao clan.

The room was as bright as day, and the elder who had spoken before looked at the other elder: "Elder Rong, do you know anything?" ”

Elder Rong moved the corners of his mouth.

"It's all this time, if you don't say it, do you want to watch the patriarch die in vain?"

Elder Rong struggled for a long time and said, "The patriarch received news yesterday that he plans to get rid of the seventh prince of Zhou who went to Wumiao as a guest. Last night, the patriarch should have sent Ahsan on a mission, but who knew that the patriarch and Ahsan died in the fire......"

"Prince Zhou Qi? Was my father killed by him? ”

Someone else was surprised: "Why did the patriarch kill the seventh prince of Zhou?" ”

"No, even if it is really the hand of Prince Zhou Qi, how did he enter the village? There is a clump of fragrant bamboo in the walled gate, and outsiders will definitely fall into a coma when they pass by there......"

After some discussion, a voice suddenly came out: "Prince Zhou Qi didn't go to Wu Miao as a guest, could it be that Wu Miao gave him self-defense medicine?" ”
