Chapter 23: The Stranger

A unique poetry meeting ended abruptly in Xie Ling's screams, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival also made people frightened and excited at the same time because of this sudden death.

The people in the poetry meeting just now quickly dispersed on their own, and the officials in the county government also formed a circle within a radius of a few feet from the corpse to prevent the people watching the excitement from breaking in, and in addition, there were two people who had no idea of leaving in the circle.

One was the man who was frightened and fainted by the blood in Xie Ling's palm, and the other was the man who was still sitting on the throne of the champion like a rock.

After the corpse was put down by Gu Changqing and Yan Mu, they also jumped from the roof, for fear of destroying the traces of this scene, and any unrelated personnel would be sent away.

Jiancheng glanced at the man who fell to the ground unconscious, and walked directly towards the man who was motionless in the chair.

"The county government wants to decide the case, and irrelevant personnel please leave the scene!" Jiancheng said seriously, but the man didn't react, just looked ahead blankly, didn't even blink his eyes, Jiancheng took a deep breath, and said again, "Childe, the county government wants to decide the case, please leave first!" ”

Jiancheng said it twice, and the man came back to his senses in a trance, "Oh, oh, I'll go!" ”

At this time, except for the shopkeeper and shopkeeper in the Juhong Mansion where this poetry meeting was held, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were still looking out and looking at Gu Changqing and the others, at this time, even the man who fell to the ground was removed from the circle of corpses.

Gu Changqing, Yan Mu and the others were still looking for the differences on the deceased's body, in addition to the two fatal wounds, Gu Changqing made another surprising discovery.

The deceased was just hanging on the roof, because the terrain was relatively biased, it was not so easy to investigate, and at this time, the deceased's body was turned over, and he was proud to see that there were more than a dozen large and small scars on the deceased's back.

Each scar is used to a different degree, some are a little deeper, and some are shallower, or even just a shallow mark on the clothes.

Yan Mu looked at the scarred back, frowned and said, "How does this look like it was left behind by some beast grabber?" ”

Indeed, as Yanmu said, the scars on the deceased's back looked like they had been scratched by some clawed beast.

"It does look like the claws of a beast, but I don't think it's that simple? Beasts hurt people? Why do you kill people with knives? Why do you hang people upside down on trees? Has this beast become a spirit? Gu Changqing stammered, "Even if there is a real beast, most of it is related to people!" ”

"Could it be that this beast was raised by man?" Yan Mu scratched his head and said in surprise.

Gu Changqing stared at him, didn't speak for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and walked towards the Juhong Building.

The shopkeeper and shopkeeper inside couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw him coming over, at this time, Gu Changqing's gaze was like a nail, whoever was pierced in his body would become a suspect, and after several people looked at each other, they couldn't help but be covered in hair!

"Have any of you seen this dead man?" Gu Changqing looked at everyone and said.

"No, this person isn't our diner......" After a brief silence, someone took the lead.

"And you have seen him today?"

The shopkeeper and the shopkeepers still shook their heads.

"Did anyone hear a sound from the roof today, or was there some strange person appearing?" Gu Changqing continued to ask.

Everyone still looks at me and I look at you, and then they all shook their heads, and finally the shopkeeper said, "Master Gu, you know how much our boss attaches great importance to this poetry meeting today, and there are a lot of people who come to cheer today, under such a hectic situation, who can pay attention to the sound of the roof!" ”

What the shopkeeper said is not unreasonable, this Mid-Autumn Festival, people are either busy walking around and playing, or busy with anxiety, and in this case, no one will pay attention to a strange strange person who usually does not know, because the street is full of strangers, and no one can pay attention!

It's just that Gu Changqing is puzzled that he, Yan Mu and those spectators have been standing under the stands in front of Juhong Mansion, and this position happens to be directly opposite the place where the deceased was hung upside down, but even himself, no one noticed when the deceased was hung up, so quietly, it is definitely not human.

But before everything is frowned, the progress of the case must start with the identity of the deceased, the dagger on his body, and the surprising scars on his back.

The next morning, the identity of the deceased was finally confirmed, and the deceased's name was Su Qiming.

And the person who confirmed the identity of the deceased was the man with whom Xie Ling competed today for the overlord of the Red Chamber Poetry Society.

When Gu Changqing saw this man, he was still in a period of deep thought and confusion, and when he looked at the person in front of him, he would tremble unconsciously, and then lowered his head and never looked at anyone again.

Gu Changqing stood up and walked up to him and said, "You said you knew this deceased?" But you were next to the corpse last night, why didn't you say it? ”

The man slowly raised his head, glanced at Gu Changqing sluggishly and said, "I'm afraid, I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that thing will do the same to me......"

Gu Changqing was stunned for a moment, but was interrupted by Yan Mu, who was becoming more and more confused, "You say it well, don't get those non-existent things out, be careful that I arrest you as a suspect!" ”

"Everything I say is true. Su Qiming was my childhood friend and classmate. We love poetry and songs, and today we came from Lincheng to show off our style at this poetry meeting! ”

"You said that you and the deceased are both from Lincheng?" Gu Changqing interrupted the man's words and asked.

The man nodded, and said with a pale face, "Yes, we grew up in Lin Cheng since we were children, and we came here this time, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" ”

"But in that case, why did you just say you were afraid?" Gu Changqing said with a bow.

The man's expression tightened, and the whole person trembled, and waited until his expression calmed down, and then said slowly, "Here's the thing, we came out early yesterday morning, but from Lin City to Yong'an City, we had to pass through a mountain, originally everything went well, although some people say that wolves often haunt this mountain, but we are lucky, we did not meet along the way."

It was at the exit of the mountain pass, and Qiming and I were relieved and were just about to sit down and rest. But I saw an extremely terrifying-looking strange man squatting on the ground and eating something not far away!

He was covered in long hair, had a huge head, and made a creaking sound when he ate.

Qiming and I felt that we should get out of here quickly, no matter what he was, we would never let him find out about the two of us, but the more anxious we were, the more likely it was to get into trouble......"
