The Divine Judge does not mean that someone is skilled in judging cases, but that it is a title peculiar to the Privy Council, just like the Instructor.

When the Command Department investigates a case, it usually sends out one or more squads, which tend to be mixed in the form of old and new, with the number ranging from five to ten, and the Divine Judge is the leader of the squad, usually between seven and five grades.

The fact that the report was not made by an individual, but by the county magistrate of Gaoshan County, which means that it is no longer an incident that can be resolved by monks outside the system.

During an hour of preparation, Xia Fan rushed back to his residence, he originally planned to inform Li Yisheng and let her settle dinner by herself in the next few days, but she didn't expect that after hearing that it was an official case, she rejected his proposal and asked to follow. Xia Fan saw that her opinion had been decided, so he had to give her enough silver taels, let her pay attention to hiding her whereabouts, and take the carriage to Gaoshan County by herself.

Next, Xia Fan saw what "Privy Council speed" was.

The whole team is ridden by all members, and those who can't ride horses are driven by a special jockey, one person and two horses, and they trot all the way without stopping. After arriving at the post station, the whole team changed horses, and it only took more than two hours to arrive in Gaoshan County, which takes more than half a day by car.

After turning over and dismounting, Xia Fan touched his numb buttocks, and decided that the first thing he would do when he went back was to learn to ride a horse, otherwise he would be squeezed on a narrow horse with the jockey, and he would have to endure Wang Renzhi's ridicule, such a bad experience he didn't want to experience a second time.

"Master Zhang, I can be regarded as waiting for you. The magistrate of Gaoshan County was already waiting at the entrance of the yamen, and when he saw the arrival of the Privy Council, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Do you want to rest first, or go directly to the scene?"

"Master Hu, it's important to do things, let's watch the scene first. ”

"Understood, understood. The magistrate waved his hand at his head, "Open the way, go to the place where the crime occurred!"

"Yes, sir. ”

On the way, Zhang Shenju had already introduced the basic situation of the destination to Xia Fan and others - the magistrate of this place was surnamed Hu Huairen, the official was Qipin, and the population under his rule was about 50,000. In terms of scale alone, Gaoshan County is an ordinary county town in other places, but here, it has a special significance.

As the closest county to Jinxia City, Gaoshan County's main responsibility is to supply grain to the main city. Although the name has the word mountain in it, it does not affect its status as a granary of Jinxia in the slightest. A mountain range from north to south merely separates it from the sea, while it is bordered by a wide plain to the west. Xia Fan noticed that on the way here, most of the time the field of vision was filled with square rice fields, and in two months, it should be golden.

It was precisely because of the importance of food supply that the Privy Council was so quick to respond to the report of Koyama County.

After crossing two alleys, the catcher stopped and pointed towards a blockaded compound.

"Lord God's Judgment, this is the first point of the crime. ”

Before he got close to the courtyard gate, Xia Fan smelled a disgusting rancid smell.

"Tell me about the situation at that time, who was the first to notice the problem?" Zhang Shenju raised his leg and crossed the threshold, and the others had to follow in.

"Lord Hui, it's the Kong family who lives next door. Two days ago, they heard a noise in the Qian family at night, and the ping-pong was very weird, and the next day they banged on the door and no one responded to the official who reported it. I rushed to the scene with someone, uh, rushed to ...... After that...... "The head catcher suddenly stuttered a little.

"What happened after that?" said Zhang Shenjuan impatiently.

He swallowed, "When I arrived, I found four corpses - all four of the Qian family were dead, and the death was extremely tragic." ”

Walking into the yard, the smell was already very strong, Xia Fan had to hold his breath to persevere, and the others were no better, and Luo Youer looked like she was about to vomit.

He remembered that the other party's sense of smell was quite sensitive.

The courtyard floor was covered with four pieces of linen.

"Lift it up. Zhang Shenju said.

"Yes. The catcher glanced at the man who lifted the cover sluggishly.

"Gross-" Luo Youer was the first to cover her mouth and run out.

Then came Wang Renzhi and Wei Wushuang.

Shangguan Cai's expression was solemn, although he didn't look comfortable, he didn't retreat.

Only Yue Feng's expression remained the same.

No wonder his companions were unbearable, if Xia Fan hadn't been baptized by Dafang and Xiaofang for a long time, he would have run out at this moment.

I saw that the corpse under the white cloth showed an extreme sense of regularity, which can be described as horizontal and vertical, and at first glance it looked like a square wooden block.

The problem is that people are not wooden blocks.

The Qian family seemed to be forcibly stuffed into square spaces of different sizes by an unimaginable force, but all the protruding parts were flattened. This abnormal compression caused a large amount of epidermis to crack, bones to break, and a mess on the inside, but no matter how broken the body was, the surface was still flat, even on the hardest head.

Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the game Minecraft.

However, when he saw the cube man in reality, he only felt a little panicked.

"Are there any other victims besides the Qian family?" Zhang Shen asked.

"Yesterday, there was one more Xue family, only one street away from here. Two people died, and one escaped by escaping from the house. ”

"Did there happen two times in a row in two days...... There is a real need for escalation. He looked thoughtful, "You didn't lose the surviving guy, did you?"

"Why, the adults laughed," the head catcher laughed, "We are also experienced people, and we locked him up as soon as possible." He was now waiting in his yard. ”

"That's right," Zhang Shenju nodded, and then shouted out of the courtyard, "Hey, are you done throwing up? ”

......

Unless they have the ability to directly restore the situation on the spot, they can only start with the part of inquiry and investigation.

Xia Fan proposed to divide the people into two groups, he and Wei Wushuang and Luo You'er inspected the scene, and Wang Renzhi, Yue Feng and Shangguan Cai went to inquire about the situation, and this proposal was quickly agreed by most people, except for Luo You'er.

"You're not deliberately taking revenge on me, are you?" she covered her nose tightly, glared at her eyes and said vaguely, "If I am smoked to death, how are you going to explain to my senior sister?"

Feed...... Isn't that a strange word, when am I going to be a guardian?

"Miss Luo," Xia Fan half-squatted down, pressed his hands on the other party's shoulders, and said slowly with the most sincere expression, "We are a team, right?"

She nodded.

"If we want to find the culprit, we have to keep track of it, and who else here but you can have such an efficient tracking ability?"

She hesitated.

"This is the team's first mission, how fast everyone can rise in the Privy Council in the future, this performance is absolutely key, and now everyone is relying on you. ”

She bit her lip.

"I know it's not easy, but because of this, I can highlight your irreplaceability - just like when facing the night of the Great Wilderness, your senior sister Luo gently stood up in front of many candidates. ”

"Can I be like my sister......" she muttered.

"Of course you can, as long as you have a strong heart, it's not impossible to surpass her. ”

"I ...... Got it. Luo Youer seemed to have made up her mind.

It's done. Xia Fan thought with satisfaction, it seems that his level of chicken soup has not decreased.

"Actually......," she whispered, turning around as she walked to the door, "I never thought of surpassing Senior Sister...... As long as you don't get too far behind her, it's enough. With that, she pursed her lips and walked quickly into the room.

Looking at the other party's simple smile, Xia Fan suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
