Chapter 54: No one knows more about the bloody corpse case than I do
He Wenyan's son He Xian said: "Father, don't worry, I have already contacted the Qingling Daoist of Qingyang Temple, and he has sent the most powerful mage under his command to investigate the bloody corpse case, or it will not be long before the truth is revealed." ”
He Wenyan, the magistrate of the county, sighed: "It's a pity that the Qingling Dao Elder will go with the mages from other counties to investigate the corpse mutiny. ”
At this moment, a little guy came to report that the Fa Yuan Dao Leader of Qingyang Temple came.
"Hurry up, please!" He Wenyan and He Xian thought that the blood corpse case had a result, and welcomed the Fayuan Taoist priest in.
While introducing the facts of the case, Daoist Fa Yuan told his inference: "The murderer killed eight martial arts masters in a row in a small room, the weakest of which is also the first realm of martial arts, and Hao Yongnian himself is a good hand in the three realms of martial arts, and the strength of this murderer is at least above the four realms of martial arts." ”
He Xian nodded and said, "We have checked the masters of the four realms of martial arts in the county, and none of them are suspicious. ”
Fa Yuan Taoist said solemnly: "Because the murderer is not a human at all. Several wounds on the corpse were consistent with the marks of the animal's claws, and this ......" he said, taking out a tuft of animal hair.
"Judging from the injuries on the deceased and the damage at the scene, the eight of them have been besieging one person all along, but they have been attacked by fists and claws. Judging from the experience of subduing demons and eliminating demons for many years, this is the time when this monster is halfway through the battle, and it has changed back to its prototype. ”
He Wenyan, the magistrate, nodded again and again when he heard this: "Then where did this monster flee to?"
Daoist Fa Yuan shook his head and said that he didn't find it: "That monster must have cleaned up the scene before leaving, and I only found this hair, and there are no other clues." Now that he has been on the run for another four days, it will take time to identify and investigate what kind of monster it is, and if he still wants to pursue it, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
From hope to disappointment again, Zhixian He Wenyan's face became even more gloomy, and he lowered his head and sighed: "It's really not good, I can only report to the state capital and ask the Demon Suppression Division to investigate the case." ”
Hearing that the magistrate was going to invite the Demon Suppression Division to come, Daoist Fa Yuan immediately persuaded him: "The Demon Suppression Division is arrogant and domineering, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in the county seat." Or wait for the Qingling mage to finish investigating the corpse mutiny case and personally arrest this monster, and he will definitely be sure. ”
He Wenyan, the magistrate of the county, glanced at him, knowing that the Heavenly Master Sect and the Demon Suppression Division had always been at odds with each other, but he shook his head: "I don't have time to wait for the Qingling Mage. ”
Just when the three of them were at a loss, and the magistrate was going to write a letter to invite the support of the Demon Suppression Division, another servant came up and said: "My lord, there is a student of the Yingluo Pavilion who said that he can solve the bloody corpse case." ”
The magistrate listened to the little girl's words, frowned and asked, "What can a student of the Yingluo Pavilion understand?" Let him go. ”
He said that his name was Chu Qiguang, and he said that he had been called by the Hao family to help solve the case. The little guy who collected the money said hard: "He also said that he has important clues to report." ”
As soon as the Hao family's reward of one thousand taels was mentioned, He Wenyan and He Zhixian felt troubled.
These days, it is not that no one has responded to the Hao family's call to provide clues or help investigate the case, but they are all gangsters, witches and gods, etc., not only did they not find anything useful, but they made the county government miserable.
If it weren't for the Hao family's intentions, He Zhixian would not want any outsiders to assist in the investigation of the case.
At this moment, hearing this Chu Qiguang say that there were any important clues to report, He Zhixian also looked unconvinced.
So He Zhixian asked again: "This Chu ...... What does Chu Qiguang do at home?"
The little guy knew that this was the old man who inquired about the other party's origin, so he said: "It's an ordinary farmer in Wangjiazhuang......"
Hearing the words of ordinary farmers, He Zhixian immediately frowned again, and opened his mouth to let people go, but he heard the little guy continue: "It was Li Shushou of the household who recommended him to come, saying that he was very clever, but he could be used by the master." ”
Li Shushou is also a veteran of the household, and he has been operating in Qingyang County for more than ten years, and the key is to give him face as a magistrate, and handle the matter of money and grain in an orderly manner.
So He Zhixian waved his hand and asked the little guy to bring someone up to listen to what Chu Qiguang was going to say.
......
After a while, Chu Qiguang, who had deliberately changed into a long shirt worth three taels of silver, was brought in by the little servant, and he arched his hand towards the county order: "The junior has seen the county honor." ”
He Zhixian didn't care that the other party didn't kneel down and salute, but asked majestically: "Chu Qiguang, what clues do you have, quickly speaking, if there is a mistake or omission, you will be beaten and bloody." ”
With He Zhixian's gaze pressing, the pressure of forcing people fell from the sky, and under the pressure of the momentum of the martial arts powerhouse, Chu Qiguang felt as if he was being targeted by a giant beast.
Chu Qiguang sighed in his heart: "Most of the officials in this world have cultivated martial arts. ’
He withstood the pressure brought by the magistrate and said: "After I was called by the Hao family before, I first read the case file, then went to the place where the crime occurred to check it, and then asked a few fast people on duty about the case, and I already know the entire blood corpse case. ”
He looked at the three people in front of him and said confidently: "Now I am afraid that there is no one in the entire county who knows more about the bloody corpse case than me, and I am here today to help the county find the murderer." ”
Even the senior head catcher in the yamen, the Taoist master who is proficient in the demon subduing classics in the Taoist temple has not found the trace of the murderer now, He Zhixian looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him and boasted like this, he really wanted to beat people out with a big mouth.
Chu Qiguang continued: "The murderer of the bloody corpse case is very likely to be a fox demon. ”
The Fa Yuan Taoist priest on the side frowned, and said with suspicion: "How do you know that it is a fox demon?"
"Let's start at the beginning. ”
Chu Qiguang didn't continue to talk about the fox demon, but changed the topic and said confidently: "How much do you adults know about Hao Yongnian? As far as I know, the tenant of that courtyard just left last month, and this courtyard hasn't been rented out yet, why did Hao Yongnian go to that place?"
The magistrate said impatiently: "If you have any clues, come quickly, don't worry about him." ”
Chu Qiguang continued: "This matter is very important, and I also ask the county lord to listen to it." According to the descendants of the Hao family, Hao Yongnian either went to Goolan Washe in the west of the city every night to listen to music and eat wine, or went to find secret prostitutes in the county.
He went to Zaoyuan Street that night. With his temperament...... Are you going to find some secret prostitute?"
Fa Yuan Taoist priest said: "Based on these alone, you can't conclude that he must have gone to find a secret prostitute, right?
Qiao Zhi, who came along, hid on the eaves, listening to the conversation in the house, and said in his heart: "Nonsense, it was Chu Qiguang who introduced him." ’
Of course, Chu Qiguang couldn't say this on the surface, he still said seriously: "Yes, so I also went to the crime scene to look for evidence." Just under the flower beds in the courtyard, I found a piece of sheep intestines that had not been used. ”
The young He Xian was puzzled: "Sheep intestines?"
On the other side, He Wenyan and Fa Yuan Daoist were pale, as if they had thought of something.
I only heard Chu Qiguang smile and said: "After the sheep's cecum is cleaned and soaked in water, it is repeatedly soaked in caustic soda water, scraped off the mucous membrane on the intestine, and then rinsed clean, it can be used for contraception.
If the sheep intestines brought by Hao Yongnian fell during the fight, then he didn't take the sheep intestines out at night to burn the hot pot, right?"
Chu Qiguang smiled: "But this sheep intestine is indeed not conclusive evidence, it just makes me think of a possible ......"
