After accompanying Hua Yingying for a while, Bai Shisan followed Hua Sheng to investigate the dismemberment case.

The Yamen's arrest and a part of the Soul Leaving Gang tried their best to search, but they only finished exploring the Dongcheng District along the mountain city.

The days in the north were very short, and Bai 13 and Zhang Hatshui were in a dilapidated alley with gray and white walls, staring at the torn corpses in front of them, frowning.

When the blood-red afterglow climbed onto the eaves, Bai 13 sent someone to escort Xiaohui back to Washington, after all, they had to patrol the night at night.

Ghosts, demons have mysterious tricks, and they can't guarantee Xiaohui's safety.

This Nizi didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't want to leave when she said that it was dangerous. Bai 13 waved his hand and asked someone to cover the bloody and fleshy corpse with a white cloth, and prepare to pack it and take it back to the yamen for autopsy to find clues.

Zhang Hatshui covered his mouth with a wet cloth to resist the stench of the dead corpse, and said inarticulately: "What are you fake and serious? I still don't have Bai Thirteen's woman's fate, if I have, the children will be in groups." ”

In the face of Zhang Hatshui's indignation, Bai Shisan could only pretend not to see it.

The sky was dark, and a mirror hung high in the lobby of the yamen, aiming at the door and saying that it was to ward off evil spirits.

The surrounding catchers held torches, the black clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight, and the howling north wind skimmed over the jagged eaves, making a whining sound like the whispers of ghosts.

Bai Shisan looked at Wang Chao Mahan, who was glaring at him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Back to my lord, this body is the chest part of the deceased, and the abdomen and other parts are still unknown. The wounds on the deceased's body seemed to have been forcibly disemboweled by some kind of ferocious beast with its claws, and then there were many secondary injuries, as if there was a purposeful attempt to destroy the corpse. ”

It was Hua Sheng's post-mortem tracking expert who spoke, Li Er.

This Li Er used to be a flying thief who was not famous along the mountain, and his years of experience in stealing made him master a variety of anti-reconnaissance methods.

His flying swallow steps came and went without a trace. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the highly skilled Yang Bo and sent to the Yamen.

In the end, Huasheng interceded and let Li Er stay here to work for the yamen.

"This corpse is already decomposed, but it should have happened in the early hours of yesterday morning, which is really strange. ”

Bai Shisan and Zhang Hatshui glanced at each other, and most of them knew in their hearts that this was definitely related to ghosts.

But if you think about it carefully, there is something wrong, according to the division of the level of ghosts and monsters along the mountain city, it should be the Earth Binding Spirit, the Restriction Level, and then the higher level of Scourge Level.

The Earth Binding Spirit is also known as the Spirit Level, just like the Pharmacy Paper Piercing Man of the day, and its maximum range of movement is only some of the streets around the medicine store.

And the restricted-level, although it is much more powerful than the spirit level, and can also control the things in the scene at will, but after all, it can't kill people indiscriminately and come randomly.

The only one who can kill indiscriminately and come randomly is the scourge level that human beings can't resist.

This corpse, the ghost thing that throws the corpse can move around the city at will, and there is no geographical limit, which greatly indicates that this is a ghost thing at the level of chaos.

But if it is such a great demon, if it wants to kill people, it will not leave any corpse at all, and the whole city will be destroyed in one night under its power, and it will become a dead city.

"Did you two ever think that this might be artificial?" Bai Thirteen frowned and said suddenly.

Hua Sheng and Zhang Hatshui are not fools, so they can naturally understand the many possibilities.

But Hua Sheng still replied hesitantly: "This situation does not conform to any kind of ghost thing we are familiar with, but it is not human-made to make a corpse decompose like this in just one day." ”

Bai 13 nodded and replied, "What if it's medicine? Medicine that accelerates the decomposition of corpses." ”

Zhang Hatshui shook his head and said, "If it is man-made, then how can this wound be explained? The perpetrator casually led a blind bear to commit the crime?"

The autopsy was analyzed to the second watch, and everyone had no clue.

During the day, someone went to the government to report the case, saying that her son had not returned all night, and there was another incident, and the old woman was in a hurry.

According to the old woman's description, her son was a scholar, and he went out early and returned late every day to study, and he wanted to take the exam.

Huasheng scolded after hearing this, the old woman's family is poor, so she is waiting for her son to take the test. If it was really her son who had an accident, this ghost would not be human.

After learning about the personal information of the missing scholar, Huasheng immediately led the whole city to search, and found clues in Huayulou.

Hua Sheng's face turned green when he learned the truth, this scholar went out early and returned late every day to have fun and read a fart book.

The night before yesterday, I played late with a scholar from outside the city in Huayulou, and the husband at the end of the street saw them, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Bai Shisan's eyes shrank after hearing this, and he said in his heart: "Aren't they the two drunken scholars that night?"

With this idea, the identity of the victim can already be confirmed in the results of the investigation on Huasheng.

The reason why Bai Shisan glanced at the two scholars strangely that night was because he felt a trace of cold aura on them.

These two people are either ghosts or have been in contact with ghosts, so Bai Shisan asked Xiaohui to go quickly.

"Flower Rain Building. Bai Thirteen muttered, knowing this clue, the case will be clear.

Bai Shisan, who was busy for a day and a night, also went home to rest, and half a month later, it was the lantern festival held by the major hooks.

There are not a few talented people who dance and sing music, and seek poetry and music, and some ordinary people will also go to join in the fun. This kind of private event is even more popular than the Dragon Diving Festival.

Because the Dragon Diving Festival is related to drinking green ant wine, ordinary people also celebrate it as an ordinary festival. This lantern festival is not the same, it is mainly for people to communicate and have fun, play and enjoy the scenery.

In the case of not being sure whether the murderer was hiding in Huayulou, Bai Shisan and the others discussed not to startle the snake first, and put the matter aside first.

Let's go find the remaining pieces first.

Waiting for the lantern festival to catch up with half a month later, these young people will not be abrupt when they go to investigate the case under the guise of playing.

Bai Shisan, who had rested for a long time, came out of the Golden Jade Flower Workshop and took Xiaohui to wander around the street.

There was no ghost murder last night, and according to Bai Shisan, he guessed that the case should be a long-planned vendetta.

Knowing this, he was more relaxed, fortunately it was not a brainless killing, otherwise his spirit would have been tense every day.

"Xiaohui do you want to eat pastries? I heard you talking about the glutinous rice shop a few days ago, but I was busy investigating the case and delayed. Bai Shisan took Xiaohui to stand still in front of the glutinous fang, and with a gentle breath, he could feel the faint milky fragrance escaping in the air.

Xiaohui was stunned when she heard this, and said glutinously: "Forget it, son, I don't want to eat." ”

Bai Shisan looked back at Xiao Hui, who was swallowing his saliva violently, but still shook his head desperately, and said helplessly: "How can any girl not like to eat pastries? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiaohui to refuse, Bai Shisan rushed into the glutinous rice shop first.

The owner of the store was full of fear of the menacing Bai Thirteen, a few days ago he went to the Longmen Liquor Store to see the excitement, but he recognized Bai Thirteen.

is close to those horse bandits who have left the soul gang, and it is estimated that he is also a master who is not easy to mess with.

"Please... What do you want?" the shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, and his old face, which was already full of wrinkles, was now embarrassed and smiled, looking very deliberate.

Bai Shisan didn't bother to care about his mental activities, and said directly: "Do you have any good recommendations?"

The shopkeeper shuddered and took out a roll of bamboo slips, and said, "Please take a look." ”

Bai Shisan turned out to be a bamboo slip, looking at more than ten kinds of pastries, his head suddenly became big, and after throwing the bamboo slips to the store, he said loudly: "Let's have a set." ”

Xiao Hui, who was standing at the door, widened her eyes, scratched the corner of Bai Shisan's clothes and said, "It's so expensive." ”

Bai Thirteen flicked her head and said, "It's okay." ”

The owner of the shop dared not speak out, and his pastry workmanship materials were not cheap, otherwise he would not be respected by the ladies in the city.

"Forget it, let's break the fortune and avoid disaster. The shopkeeper sighed, turned away, and disappeared into a room.

When he came out, he was slumped, and he was carrying a sandalwood cage drawer that was not light, and it contained all kinds of pastries.

"How much?" Bai Thirteen took the cage drawer and asked as he checked it in his hand.

The old shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, and almost burst into tears, daring to love this son so reasonable. If that guy named Zhang Hatshui comes, it would be good if I didn't find him money.

Bai Shisan's actions made the old man understand that there was still gold in cow dung.

"Fifty wen. "The shopkeeper said.

Bai Shisan looked at him deeply and felt that the old man was very good at being a man. I heard that the price of the two pastries in this glutinous cake workshop is 80 yuan.

"If the old gentleman needs any help, you can go to the Golden Jade Flower Shop to find me. ”

Bai Shisan put down this sentence, and the old shopkeeper nodded violently, watching the two leave.

Xiaohui followed in small steps behind the cage drawer of the glutinous rice shop, she mustered up her courage, took out two pastries from the cage drawer, pulled the corner of Bai Thirteen's clothes and said, "Childe give it." ”

Bai 13 nodded, took the pastry and took a bite, the entrance was soft and glutinous, and there was a burst of milky fragrance in the middle.

"Is Xiaohui hungry?" Bai Thirteen turned his head and asked, because Xiaohui usually doesn't eat on the street.

Xiaohui no longer always followed Bai Thirteen, but walked up to Bai Thirteen and said, "I have a good son, I want them to take a look." ”

After speaking, Xiaohui blushed and lowered her head shyly.

Bai Thirteen laughed, reached out and touched Xiaohui's head, but did not speak.

This scene happened to be seen by Hua Yingying, who rushed to the Golden Jade Flower Workshop, and she was about to knock on the door, but she stopped her movements abruptly.

Looking at Bai Thirteen and the two people who were getting closer and closer, Hua Yingying looked lonely and hid to the side.

It wasn't until Bai Shisan and Xiaohui entered the Golden Jade Flower Shop that she walked out of the alley next to her.

"Miss......" Lian'er felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Hua Yingying's appearance.

"I originally thought that he didn't have the intention of starting a family, but I didn't expect it to be just because the person in his heart was not me. Hua Yingying sighed, looking at the silk in her hand and was stunned.

She originally wanted to come over to see Bai Thirteen and add a new dress to Xiaohui by the way, after all, Xiaohui had bothered to take care of Bai Thirteen for so long.

Who knows......

"Miss, don't be sad, that Bai Thirteen is a prodigal son, yesterday I heard him and Brother Hua say that he was going to the land of smoke and willows like Huayulou. Lian'er said indignantly.

Thinking about how to plagiarize a woman in broad daylight is really arrogant!

"Forget it, I'll call Xiaohui back to the house in a few days, and if she wants, I'll redeem her. Hua Yingying sat in a carriage, opened the curtain with her palms, and her eyes did not leave the golden jade flower shop behind her.

"Miss, why are you so wronged by yourself? Wait a minute, I'll go to Xiaohui and make it clear, she doesn't dare to fight with Miss!"

Hua Yingying's expression was complicated and she didn't speak.
