425 Dark Shadow
Xue Zhen made a statistic on the whereabouts of the murderer and the heart stealer, and concluded that the time chosen by the murderer to kill is in the zodiac day of each month, it is advisable to marry, and it is not advisable to break the ground, such a day! And the murderer kills people mostly on the third watch!
Yana said: "In this way, isn't today the day when it is advisable to marry and break the ground on the day of the zodiac!" ”
Yang Shirt does not know about the Zodiac Day, people at this time do not have mobile phones, want to remember the day, only rely on the brain to memorize, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect, they all remember more every day, and they keep in mind the taboo in the Zodiac Day.
"So, the contradiction you're worried about is that you're going to catch the murderer yourself today, right?" Yang asked asked.
Xue Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, this is where I am in a dilemma!" ”
Yana thought for a while and said, "You don't say this for your own selfishness, it's true that I blamed you just now, I'm sorry, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime good time for Lord Taozi, we can't miss today, and there will be another exchange of truth and falsehood for Lord Taozi, after all, Lord Taozi came out, and it was to do something big!" ”
Xue Zhen lowered his head and said, "Hey, I know, my life is Lord Taozi's, his affairs are more important than any other thing, let's go!" ”
Yang Shan said: "No! Taozi's matter is important, but our exchange today was not successful, Taozi can't die, but we missed the opportunity to catch the murderer, which is equivalent to watching a flower girl die in front of us, doesn't this mean that you can't save you when you die! Taozi came out to discuss a big deal! But in terms of priority, this life is the most urgent at the moment, Xue Zhen, you have to stay! Moreover, I want to stay too, Yana, you also want to stay, the three of us, together to catch that murderer and heart stealer who deserves a thousand cuts! ”
"You're crazy!" Yana's eyes were red, "Brother, this is ......" her voice became a little quieter, "This is a critical moment, brother, after Lord Taozi is sent back to the cell, and then take him out, the risk is much higher, a Taozi Lord, who can be replaced, is much more important than the life of a flower girl, and it can be compared to thousands of troops!" ”
Xue Zhen looked at Yang Shirt again, he had never seen the king, but he had heard about the king's amnesia, he saw that Yang Shirt could call Taozi's name directly, and he didn't have the word adult, he said tentatively: "I dare to ask, are you the king?" ”
Yana said, "Xue Zhen, you can't perform a ceremonial pilgrimage now!" ”
After Yana said this, Xue Zhen opened her eyes, her meaning was already obvious, Yang Yi was indeed the highest king of Huanguo, King Huan!
Xue Zhen lowered his head, his tone was a little nervous, and he said: "The king, please forgive the grass people for not knowing Mount Tai with eyes, and the grass people ......."
Yang Shan interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, from now on, you can call yourself me, but don't call yourself a grass person, you will call me Mr. Yang!" ”
"Mr. Yang?" Xue Zhen was stunned, then nodded in agreement.
Yang Shirt said: "Then you all listen to me, let the matter of changing people go for the time being, Xue Zhen, Yana, let's go into the temple and tell this heart-stealing case in detail, we must stop this murder case, and chase the murderer to the case!" ”
Yana was helpless and snorted, but she could only obey the king's arrangement and entered the temple with Xue Zhen.
The three of them sat on a haystack in front of the Buddha statue, and Yang Yi said, "I won't ask you about the details of the case, I'll ask you, how are you sure who the murderer is going to attack tonight?" ”
Xue Zhen said: "I went to secretly read the investigation records, and someone mentioned that I saw a fox, Mr. Yang, I have a special skill in investigating the case!" That's the nose! I visited every murder scene, and sure enough, there was a special smell of animals, through this smell, I searched again, the streets and alleys, and finally the effort paid off, that special smell is somewhat concentrated in a place, that is to say, the slowest dispersion, then, I judge, the murderer, holding the fox is coming out of that place! ”
Yang Shirt asked, "Which place is that?" ”
Xue Zhen said: "Riverside! When the smell of the fox disappears there, it can show that the murderer came from the river, and every time he settles down from that place, and then let the fox lead the way! I think that the fox is looking for the target in advance, and then returns, and the murderer is dispatched at night after the third watch! ”
Yang Shan said: "This murderer, his skills are by no means simple, we should discuss how to stop and catch him, Xue Zhen, what did you plan to do?" ”
Xue Zhen said: "I originally planned to dig a trap nearby, but at night, when the murderer appeared, I lured him over and let him fall into the trap!" ”
Yana said, "That's a good idea! But if you do this, you don't have any evidence of his murder! ”
Yang Shirt said: "If that person is indeed as Xue Zhen said, the third watch came up from the river not long ago and brought a fox, he is already completely in reasoning, and without evidence, it can be said that it is him!" In this way, we are now three people anyway, tonight, the three of us will work together, dig more traps, the strength of the three of us, catch him alone, it should not be a problem! ”
The three of them then had some discussion.
When it was getting dark, Xue Zhen led the way and took Yang Yi and Yana to the river.
Halfway up the river to the dweller's house, there was a deep forest, and the three of them chose to set a trap in the forest, and they took advantage of the darkness to prepare for the work, and when they came, they bought three shovels, and three axes, the shovels were used to dig the earth, and the axes were used to fight the wicked.
In order to increase the chance of being arrested, Yang Yi and the others dug no less than seven traps, and after digging, the time was almost three watches.
"Almost!" Xue Zhen wiped the sweat on his face and looked at the river bank not far away, the river was shining in the night, and in the flash, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
Xue Zhen immediately hid behind the tree, and whispered to Yang Shan and Yana, "Hide quickly!" There's movement in the river! ”
Yang Shan's nerves were tense, and he leaned behind the tree with Yana, and they followed the direction of Xue Zhen's finger and also saw the black shadow.
I saw the black shadow slowly approaching the shore, and from the vague appearance, it did not look like a boat, but a bit like a stake.
Yana wanted to say something to Yang Shan, Xue Zhen patted her, she looked back, but saw Xue Zhen put his finger in front of his mouth, signaling not to speak.
The black shadow flashed and came ashore from the river, and in the dark night, by a little moonlight, I could see something jumping down from the black shadow's arms, four legs, and a tail.
"Xue Zhen's speculation is not wrong, that thing must be a fox!" Yang Shi muttered in his heart.
