Yelang County Ya backyard north, under the Yamen ———

The white-faced "eunuch" Qing He sat on the Taishi chair, with two boys on the left and one on the right behind him: candlelight and a masked wind vessel.

After the county ordered Cai Zuodao to perform a set of thoughtful etiquette, he retreated to the side and waited for the seat to fall. From time to time, the corner of his eyes swept towards the golden token on Qing He's waist. This is the supreme Zhaoxing order of the Heavenly Family, and if you are lazy, you will lose your head!

Qing He raised his orchid fingers and pinched the lid of the cup, skimmed the foam in the cup, sipped a sip of tea, and said with an arrogant face:

"This official, this time I went out of the palace on the order of King Zhao, passing through Guixian, and heard that several murders had occurred in Guixian, which was very strange and caused panic among the people......"

It's funny behind the wind, this person is really an old drama bone, pretending to be a eunuch, and he can raise eight tones at the end of his speech.

Cai Zuodao pounced and fell to his knees

It hurts to listen to.

"Back... Lord Hui, there is indeed this matter, and the lower officials are also investigating this case, and they have a little eyebrows a few days ago! ”

"Huh? The official just observed the situation and saw if he could give guidance to Lord Cai, and the adults did not need to make this big gift, please hurry up. ”

He said that he was not polite, and he did not have a single instruction in his hand. Cai Zuodao, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little overwhelmed and didn't dare to get up, so he had to kneel and say.

"What's the eyebrow? Adults may wish to talk about it. ”

"Since the official took office, Yelang County has been peaceful, but in the past month, three women have died one after another.

After investigation, it was found that the deceased were all women who were more than 5 months pregnant, the cause of death was the same, and the time of the crime was 10 days apart. Explaining that the three murders were committed by the same person, the subordinate asserted that the gangsters would continue to commit crimes. ”

"So, Lord Cai already has a countermeasure?"

"For such a suspect with a fixed target, the best way is to lure the snake out of the hole! Xia Guan has made a thorough plan, and believes that tomorrow the gangsters will fall into the net. ”

"Oh? What a plan? ”

"A few days ago, I ordered someone to pretend to be a pregnant woman to swagger through the market, and it was almost time to show up.

Therefore, rest assured, you will be able to bring the murderer to justice and appease the people in the near future!

I also hope that the adults will move to the Xiaguan Mansion and rest for a while, and wait for the Xiaguan to capture the murderer and behead them together! ”

"It's good! It's just that before leaving, the official wanted to inspect the corpse himself. ”

Cai Zuodao, who had been kneeling for a long time, stood up tremblingly and waved to Qinghe: "The body is properly placed in the ice cellar, please come with me." ”

———

The three of them followed Cai Zuodao through the long corridor and came to the ice cellar located in the northwest corner of the county ya.

"You, just wait here!" Qinghe asked Cai Zuodao to wait outside the cellar, gave Feng Buqi a look, motioned to enter together, and then turned around and stepped into the ice cellar first.

Bang ———

The cellar door closes

Not only did the two behind them not follow, but they actually closed the cellar door! Do you mean that she should inspect the corpse herself?

OK! This is very Zhaowang!!

.

There were three female corpses strewn across the dimly lit ice cellar, and the corpses of the women who had been dead for a month were, no matter how good they were, must have shown signs of decay.

"No wonder you won't come in!" Qing He pulled the strip of cloth and tied it under his nose, cursing in his heart.

.

A moment later, the ice cellar door opened.

Cai Zuodao was the first to step forward: "What did you find?" ”

"Discovery....... The official is hungry! ”

"Well, the lower official has prepared thin vegetables and thin wine for adults. Please also ask the adults to move to the east wing of the back house, take a short rest, and eat immediately. ”

.

Walking into the east wing of the backyard, Cai Zuodao saluted and told Qinghe to leave after a while.

The wind didn't give a look, and the candlelight had already closed the doors and windows and stood guard outside the door.

As soon as I sat down, I went straight to the point.

"What's the matter with the corpse?"

"Roughly as Cai Zuodao described, the three deceased were all pregnant women who were more than five months pregnant, and they all died of excessive blood loss due to being cut out of their abdomen."

"What about the details?"

"Hmm...... The cuts on the corpses were all messy, of different shades, and they didn't seem to be very strong, and they were very unskillful. ”

"Three bodies are messy?"

"Well, the same."

"It's strange that a first-time perpetrator usually gets a mess of the knife because he panics. So if it's a repeat offender..... At least it should be sharper than the last. Three crimes are still panicked......"

"Possibly a passive murderer?"

"Well, it's very likely that this is the reason."

"There is another detail, there is also a sachet with talisman paper sewn in the middle clothes of the three deceased, I opened it and looked at it, it is roughly a charm for a child."

"A pregnant woman begging for a child, this spell is also a reasonable thing."

"Yes, the spell is reasonable, but he writes it in dansha."

"Dansha writing? What does it mean in your business? ”

"It means that this witch doctor is very rich!"

"Hehe, that's funny!"

"Na, people who usually run the rivers and lakes use chicken blood and dog blood, how can they use something as expensive as dansha to draw talismans. As the saying goes, the one who looks at you will lie to you for ten years or eight years, but this begging for a son, you will see you in ten months, and no one will stay for people to smash the signboard. So this child-seeking charm is done by some wandering witch doctors, and they change places with one shot. There is no last meal, and it is impossible to be so extravagant, and I also buy dansha to draw talismans. ”

"Don't you allow others to be profound, and to be a man and a woman? Do you think it's all Huang Liudao people like you, who are abducted and deceived everywhere? ”

"Lord Wang, the Tao is very Taoist, very Taoist. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Taoism is to conform to the laws of heaven and answer people's questions. If you are not a person who can change your life against the sky, then you will be regarded as a god! ”
