"This case should have been investigated by Zaixia, but Zaixia's ability was limited, and he couldn't find out why, so Lord Shen came to investigate the case for Zaixia, and Zai Xia was grateful."

"Lord Shen has come to Chang'an this time, if there is anything that needs help in this case, even if you bring it up, you will definitely try your best to solve it for Lord Shen."

Shen Muzhi nodded and said, "Then Shen has thanked the prefect first." ”

"Lord Prefect, Mu Zhi is ready to enter the Lu Mansion to investigate, Lord Prefect only needs to send someone to follow me."

The prefect of Chang'an looked back at the large number of subordinates he had brought, as if there were a lot of people, and knew that Shen Muzhi should not want to be disturbed by others.

The prefect of Chang'an immediately said: "Then it's better to accompany Lord Shen in." ”

The prefect of Chang'an turned his head and instructed his subordinates, saying, "You are all guarding outside, and I will follow Lord Shen to investigate." ”

After speaking, the prefect of Chang'an made a gesture of invitation to Shen Muzhi and said, "Lord Shen, let's go in." ”

Shen Muzhi raised his feet and stepped into the gate of the Lu Mansion.

Shen Muzhi entered the door, only to find that there was a humanoid pattern drawn with white lines on the ground, knowing that it was drawn according to the position and shape of the corpse.

Shen Muzhi looked at the white line on the ground, didn't look up for a long time, and didn't continue to walk forward.

The prefect of Chang'an looked at the ground, it was just a white line indicating the corpse, was there anything special?

The prefect of Chang'an asked suspiciously, "Lord Shen, what are you looking at?" ”

Shen Muzhi asked, "Lord Prefect, are you missing a corpse?" ”

Hearing this, the prefect of Chang'an hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Why does Lord Shen think so? No matter how bad it is, I don't dare to make such a serious mistake in such a big case. ”

"At this gate, there is indeed only one corpse."

The prefect of Chang'an looked at Shen Muzhi's face and asked cautiously, "Lord Shen, is there anything strange about this?" ”

Shen Muzhi didn't reply, but raised his head again, looked at the vermilion lacquer gate, and said thoughtfully: "Please send someone to fetch some white flour and bring a brush." ”

Seeing Shen Muzhi's request, the prefect of Chang'an hurriedly turned around and instructed his subordinates, saying, "Did you hear what Lord Shen said just now, hurry up and get some white flour and brushes." ”

The subordinates listened to the order and hurried to do something.

The prefect of Chang'an turned his head and asked puzzledly, "What does Lord Shen want these things for?" ”

Shen Muzhi did not answer the words of the prefect of Chang'an, but started to walk into the Lu Mansion and said, "Lord Prefect, let's go to the Lu Mansion to check first." ”

When the prefect of Chang'an heard this, he hurriedly kept up with Shen Muzhi's pace.

Shen Mu walked forward, and there were only occasional white lines along the way, indicating that someone had died here in this place.

When Shen Muzhi arrived at the hall, the scene in front of him was simply miserable.

The hall was splattered with blood, and although the corpses had been disposed of, the air still smelled of corpses.

The prefect of Chang'an couldn't help wrinkling his nose, and took out his handkerchief from his arms, and when he just wanted to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, he paused his hand and made movements, and quietly turned his head to look at Shen Muzhi beside him.

The prefect of Chang'an thought that there should be no expression on Shen Muzhi's face, after all, a big man like Shen Muzhi should be used to seeing strong winds and waves, how could this kind of scene bluff him.

However, what the prefect of Chang'an didn't expect was that he saw a panicked expression on Shen Muzhi's face for the first time.

The prefect of Chang'an couldn't help but be surprised, since he saw Shen Muzhi, Shen Muzhi has always been very calm, so that people can't see the emotion, and now he will be flustered?

The prefect of Chang'an looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and handed the handkerchief to Shen Muzhi with some reluctance, and said, "Lord Shen, the smell here is strong, take the handkerchief and cover your mouth and nose." ”

Shen Muzhi did not refuse, took the handkerchief of the Chang'an prefect, and said, "Thank you Lord Prefect for your kindness." ”

The prefect of Chang'an said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." ”

Saying that, the prefect of Chang'an had to take out the handkerchief that Shen Muzhi had wiped his hand just now, and the prefect of Chang'an folded the dirty side of the handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with a clean place.

But the prefect of Chang'an was still a little uncomfortable holding this handkerchief.

The prefect of Chang'an sighed inwardly, regretting why he didn't ask his subordinates for a few more handkerchiefs, but fortunately, he still kept the handkerchief that Shen Muzhi wiped his hands just now, otherwise he wouldn't even have to use the dirty handkerchief now.

Shen Muzhi covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief handed to him by the prefect of Chang'an, closed his eyes, and tried his best to ignore the scene that came to his mind about the destruction of the Yin Mansion family in his previous life.

That's right, seeing the scene left behind after the Lu clan was destroyed in front of him, Shen Muzhi remembered his previous life, remembered that he was Yin Huan's accomplice in his previous life, and remembered his guilt for Yin Jiuyue.

Shen Muzhi said in his heart that he came to atone for the sins of his previous life in this life.

Shen Muzhi calmed down for a while, opened his eyes again, and began to look around the hall.

Looking at the white lines all over the ground, many of them still overlapped, Shen Muzhi understood that there should be a lot of dead people in this house.

Shen Muzhi asked, "Are all the dead servants in this house?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an sighed and said, "Yes, when we came in, there were corpses all over the ground, and the situation was really miserable." ”

"Most of the owners of the Lu Mansion died in their rooms."

"Alas, the Lu clan has really been slaughtered, and this Hellfire Temple has done a really good job."

The prefect of Chang'an couldn't help but say the name of the Hellfire Temple, and only when the words came out did he react, and he didn't dislike the dirty handkerchief, and covered his mouth tighter.

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that the prefect already knows the murderer of this case?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an had no choice but to accompany the smiling face, and said: "Lord Shen, I still don't know, the people outside here know that it was the Hellfire Temple that slaughtered the Lu family, and this matter has already spread." ”

"It's just that this Hellfire Temple is haunted, and few people in the rivers and lakes can find the Hellfire Temple, let alone me, how can I have the ability to arrest the Hellfire Temple?"

"So, this case is really a hot potato in my hands."

After the prefect of Chang'an said the word "hot potato", he was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing, how could he tell the truth, what if Shen Muzhi disliked the trouble of this case, and left without doing it?

The prefect of Chang'an hurriedly complimented Shen Muzhi and said, "But Lord Shen is the champion of the Great Zhou, and there must be a way to solve it." ”

Shen Muzhi chuckled.

The prefect of Chang'an was a little at a loss, and asked cautiously: "Lord Shen, if you can't catch the Hellfire Palace, how do you plan to close this case, and does the emperor have any instructions for this situation?" ”

The prefect of Chang'an began to think about it, since the emperor specially sent Shen Muzhi to investigate the case, the real culprit of this matter is the Emperor of the Hellfire Palace, and the emperor should also know, but the emperor still sent someone to investigate the case, right? Could it be that the emperor wants to put this case on someone's head, frame someone, and ask someone to take the blame? That's why Shen Muzhi was sent to tamper with the truth?

The more the prefect of Chang'an thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed correctly, and involuntarily touched his neck, worried that the emperor would kill himself who knew the truth afterwards.

Shen Muzhi saw the panicked look on the face of the Chang'an prefect, as if he knew what the Chang'an prefect was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, the prefect sent me to find the Hellfire Palace." ”

The prefect of Chang'an relieved his heart at this time, and frowned at Shen Muzhi: "Lord Shen, this Hellfire Hall is not easy to find." ”

"Do you want to buy a house for Lord Shen in the next place, so that you can live more comfortably in Chang'an?"

The prefect of Chang'an thought that it would be impossible to find out the Hellfire Temple in less than a year and a half, so he put forward this opinion.

Shen Muzhi shook his head and said, "Shen has thanked the prefect for his kindness, in the past few days, I will live in the prefect's mansion, and I will have to bother the prefect." ”

"Within ten days, Mu Zhi will definitely find the people of the Hellfire Palace."

The prefect of Chang'an widened his eyes when he heard this, how could it be possible to find the Hellfire Hall in ten days? Even if Shen Muzhi is the champion of the Great Zhou, this is too exaggerated.
