Chapter 19: The Great Illusion
It was really difficult to answer Gu Changming's question, if he had that ability and knew all kinds of Gu worms well, how could he be easily caught by them. It's not that there is no one who has this ability, but it definitely won't be him. He looked thoughtful: "Or, let's take a look at the female corpse first?" ”
"Gu Gongzi, go to Tang County first, or go back to Quyang County?" Dai Guozi can't make up his mind. Tang County didn't have a clear clue for the time being, but he didn't want to give up halfway.
"Take him to Tang County, and then back." Gu Changming had a faint feeling in his heart. Tang County is not like two officials who came back to spread the word, and they didn't find anything. If it weren't for the fourth female corpse, he might have thought that the case was over, and now it was far from ending.
No one wants to see the fifth, the sixth. Not to mention anything else, Sun Youxiang's small position as the master book may not be kept. Gu Changming glanced at Dai Guozi with a side face, Guozi didn't say anything, and he was anxious for Master Sun.
"It's useless for you to look at me, he can't even say one, two, three, and I can't do it anymore." Dai Guozi didn't want to waste any more time, "Since you've decided, move on." "It's enough to delay it.
Gu Changming easily made up for this little time, he took out the silver and hired a car. The four of them are crowded inside, especially to give Liu Zhuxue more space, and the sitting posture of the three big men will not be too good-looking.
Liu Zhuxue sat alone on the side, always vigilantly pressing her hand on the scabbard of the Melting Snow Sword. But if she wanted to get a worm out to harm people, she immediately did it unceremoniously.
In such a crowded environment, Gu Changming still looked different from others. After a closer look, and then another look, he couldn't help but speak: "Your family must be very rich, especially rich." ”
Dai Guozi didn't expect him to ask so directly, and asked a little funny: "How did you see it?" ”
"I've heard people in the world say before that the richer the family, the less they care when it's bad. Look at the way he sits, such good clothes sit in this strange carriage, and there is no look of disgust. I could see it very clearly, he didn't even move a single eyebrow. "His eyes are shining," so he is not only rich in the family, but also a child of a family. ”
"Well, the way he speaks looks like yours. will also analyze your family background and character, or when his case is closed, you can accept him as an apprentice. Dai Guozi didn't have much interest in what he said, he wasn't a very careful person, and he wouldn't spend his time on these things.
Gu Changming lowered his head and smiled, but did not answer the topic. The Gu family is a one-way skill, and it cannot be taught to outsiders for the time being. However, Dai Guozi's ability to observe people is no worse than others, he just doesn't have any seriousness: "Inch fine, think about it, what kind of Gu worms will leave eggs on the corpse?" ”
"That's a lot, as far as I know, there are at least a dozen of them, I can't say which one." Cun Xi listened to Dai Guozi's meaning just now, he was accused of stealing in the general's mansion, and Gu Changming had a way to exonerate him. And he knew that the person in front of him had real skills, and he also wanted to do serious things, so he put away his careful thoughts about sowing discord, and wanted to help, "What other characteristics can you talk about?" ”
"People who have come into contact with corpses will have red spots on their palms, which are extremely itchy." When Gu Changming was about to go out, Ah Liu was still in Qiu Yanzuo's hands, and life was better than death.
"He touched something he shouldn't have touched." The thin eyeballs slid and stopped at Liu Zhuxue.
Liu Zhuxue is so sensitive, when she looks at that look, it must be no good thing, and the melting snow sword is out of the sheath, pointing directly at the center of the inch-thin eyebrows. If Cun Xiao dares to say something that he doesn't like, although she can't kill people, she can also make him suffer a little.
didn't dare to blink an inch of thin eyes, and the beauty was quite pleasant at first, and even helped him out. From a few hours on, looking at his eyes, there was disgust, all kinds of disgust, as if there was a person who had not taken a bath for three years and was still sitting in the upwind outlet, and she was unfortunately sitting in the downwind outlet and couldn't smell the smell.
"Miss Liu, the car is small, beware of accidental injury." Gu Changming naturally didn't directly touch Liu Zhuxue's hand, his sleeve seemed to touch the back of her hand lightly. Liu Zhuxue quickly took back the snow-melting sword, the place in the carriage is small, if the road surface is uneven, the sword edge will be off, and the direct injury will be Dai Guozi next to it.
Inch coughed slightly, making Gu Changming turn his head, he really didn't dare to say it in front of the beauty, he couldn't do things without shame. Gu Changming's cheeks were like jade, and after listening to his words, there seemed to be a trace of bloody embarrassment.
No matter how many corpses Changming Gongzi has seen, no matter how strange the case he has solved, after all, he is a young man with strong blood. Fang only said two sentences, but he still restrained what he said. As soon as he thought of what Ah Liu might have done to those female corpses, his face became even more unsightly.
Dai Guozi next to him couldn't sit still, why did the big man still whisper, and the three of them hid it from him? He was not polite to Cun Xi, dragged the person directly over, held his head and prepared to torture without saying anything.
Inch by inch, looking at Dai Guozi's younger age, and being so unbreathable, he was also bad, and said those things more explicit than in front of Gu Changming. Dai Guozi's face was flushed, and when he came up, he slapped him twice, with great force and loud sound.
Liu Zhuxue's eyes widened, look at this, look at that. Who knew that Gu Dai and the two of them looked to both sides unnaturally under her Ying Ying gaze. Gu Changming opened the window and let the wind outside blow inside. The strong wind by the river, combined with the speed of the carriage, blew everyone's spirits.
"If you want me to see that the river outside is nothing special, how can there be people dying in droves inside?" Although Cun Xiao succeeded, he didn't dare to laugh, for fear of being beaten by Dai Guozi again. Is this still an official errand of the Central Plains, completely unreasonable, pinched if you want, and beaten if you want. He's still a foreigner, and if he is killed, who will come to him if he is killed and shoved into that corner? Thinking of the possibility of dying in a foreign land, he shrank his neck and settled down.
Gu Changming simply turned his head to look at the river outside the car window, this section of the Tongtian River seemed to be more turbulent than in Quyang County, and the water waves on the river seemed to be rolling forward by the wind, without stopping for a moment.
On such a river, how can the corpse be drifted to Quyang County intact, especially the female corpse that appeared at the latest. In Liu Zhuxue's words, it is really the best-looking corpse, and even the expression is comfortable and does not look like a dead person. What the hell is the method!
Gu Changming had thought about dozens of things in his heart, but he always felt that there were flaws that he couldn't talk about. Suddenly, he was desperate for a fifth corpse to appear, so that he could find the problem in the first place. But such thoughts were quickly suppressed by him, how can a person who solves a case expect more people to die because of an unsolved case.
If his father finds out his state of mind at this moment, I'm afraid it won't be enough for him to think about it for three days and three nights. Gu Changming thought of his father who was extremely strict with him, and he was worried. People outside still don't know about Gu Wuduo's silent disappearance for a while.
If Gu Changming hadn't received a message from his senior brother, he might have gone in another direction, with the purpose of finding someone. Father, you should be fine. And why hasn't the senior brother appeared so far, and there is no new news coming.
"Gu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi?" Liu Zhuxue called twice in a row, but Gu Changming didn't react. She judged with great interest that he must be thinking about a very important issue, and at this critical moment, it was most taboo that someone would disturb him.
Gu Changming's gaze withdrew from the green polka-dotted river, and closed his eyes slightly. The slender eyelashes fall down in unison, like the wings of a bird when it is tired, and it is extremely handsome.
The carriage was quiet for a while, and the other three people were all looking at Gu Changming, each with a concern in their eyes.
Gu Changming was like entering a no-man's land, and passed the four female corpses in order in his mind again. What do the gorgeous clothes, the most fashionable hair buns, the beaded hairpin headdress, and the light makeup swept across every face?
Dissemble.
Gu Changming burst out of these two words in his mind, the beautiful female corpse was regrettable and amazing, but he forgot to consider the most basic thing at the first time. These artificial additions completely hide their true identities, and they are like any beautiful woman passing by the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Or go for a walk outside the city, or just come back from a relative's house.
No, these are delusions, great delusions.
When Gu Changming opened his eyes again, there seemed to be starlight condensing under his eyes, forcing others to not look directly in the carriage.
"Gu Gongzi, what did you think of?" Liu Zhuxue saw that he had such a short moment, as if he was a monk who had entered the meditation, and he must have discovered something.
"When you get to Tang County, find someone like this." Gu Changming's eyelashes were flying, and his expression was radiant, "If you can find the best local tailor, know the most fashionable clothes and colors in major towns, rouge and gouache, there must be such a person." ”
"What would such a person do?" Liu Zhuxue couldn't guess, and she didn't shy away from asking directly. She is not a fast catcher, let alone a master of solving cases, she just comes to help while watching the excitement and open her eyes.
Inch fine was also hungry and didn't understand Gu Changming's words, Dai Guozi gave him a look, and there were three words written in it: hillbilly.
Although Quyang County is a small county town, Dai Guozi is not the kind of frog at the bottom of the well. So when Gu Changming said this, the place that popped out of Dai Guozi's mind seemed a little strange.
"If you think of something, you can talk about it." Gu Changming didn't look arrogant at all, he was gentle and polite from beginning to end.
"You just said that you need to know the most fashionable clothes and colors, rouge and gouache, and good tailors and good craftsmanship. I do know that there is such a good place in Tang County. When he said the three words of good place, Dai Guozi's eyebrows were sharp and jumped secretly.
