"This young man is also a poor person, and my beloved sister died for an irrelevant man, and I would find it difficult to accept it if it were me. But then again, since this guy has nothing to do with the disappearance of Xu Sangongzi, why didn't Xu Sangongzi have it? ”

"The reason why this case is talked about is because Xu Sangongzi, who disappeared for no reason, was not found, let alone the suspect related to Xu Sangongzi's disappearance. This case is still an unsolved case in the Yamen of Huaxi Town. ”

"That's the end of the case?"

"No, there's something else." Gao Zhan and Master Xin glanced at each other, "Just when there was no progress in the case, Xu Sangongzi's mother, that is, Mrs. Xu Shao, suddenly found the county magistrate at that time and turned herself in, saying that she had murdered her husband. ”

"Mrs. Xu killed the third son of Xu?"

Li'er was also very surprised, wasn't she? At that time, the people in the government also reacted in the same way. Gao Zhan pinched his temples with his hand: "According to Mrs. Xu's confession, that evening, Xu Sangongzi did go out to buy ink, but because he forgot to bring money when he went out, he suddenly returned halfway. It was during that time that there was a dispute between Xu Sangongzi and Mrs. Xu Shao, and Mrs. Xu Shao stabbed Xu Sangongzi to death by mistake. In order to cover up the fact that she killed someone, Mrs. Xu changed her clothes, and hurriedly changed her maid, and deliberately sent her to the Han study to find someone. Then, in order to exonerate himself, he deliberately pulled his second brother, that is, Xu Hu, the second son of the Xu family, to report the case to the yamen with her. When the county magistrate asked her how she killed Xu Sangongzi, Mrs. Xu's words were confused and she couldn't speak clearly. When the county magistrate further asked her where she hid Xu Sangongzi's body, she actually pointed to her stomach and said that she had eaten Xu Sangongzi. Naturally, no one believed such a ridiculous statement, and everyone thought that Mrs. Xu was overly sad and had some kind of hallucination. Later, after being diagnosed and treated by the doctor, she was indeed confused, and her pulse was not quite the same as that of ordinary people. ”

"Isn't this Young Lady Xu stimulated by something? Even if she really killed Xu Sangongzi, it would be impossible to swallow all the bones of people. ”

"That's what I said. On that day, although the county magistrate suspected that Mrs. Xu was talking nonsense, in order to give an explanation to the people, in order to let Mrs. Xu continue to stay in the Xu family, they also went to the Xu Mansion to investigate, but after searching the entire Xu Mansion, they did not find anything wrong. In addition, Mrs. Xu was pregnant, and the Xu family thought about it, so they sent her to the temple in the mountains to recuperate. ”

"Mrs. Xu is pregnant?"

"Yes, that's what it says in the dossier." Gao Zhan recalled: "It is clearly written that Mrs. Xu went to the mansion to surrender, and the county magistrate saw that her thoughts were chaotic, and the preface did not match the afterword, so he invited the best doctor in Huaxi Town to diagnose and treat her, and the result was a happy pulse.

It was also because the third prince of Xu was innocently missing, and Mrs. Xu was pregnant, that the Xu family recruited the eldest son of the Xu family, who was away all the year round. But the innocent disappearance of Xu Sangongzi seems to be just the beginning of the Xu family's bad luck. In just half a year, the Xu family had accidents one after another, first the eldest son was attacked, and died because of his injuries. Followed by the second son, who lost his mind and went crazy, although he was taken back to the mountain by his master, he became crazy and talked nonsense. Master Xu and Mrs. Xu died soon because they couldn't stand the repeated blows, and the Xu family seemed to disappear from Huaxi Town overnight. ”

"Done?"

"Well, that's it." Gao Zhan approached the edge of the enchantment and looked up at the humanoid mantis that was a little manic: "I have something I can't figure out, how did the good Mr. Bai remember that the case of the disappearance of the third son of the Xu family came, and he also said that the disappearance of the third son of Xu has something to do with this mantis." Could it be that the disappearance of Xu Sangongzi was not man-made, but done by a praying mantis? When he went out, he met such a huge humanoid mantis, and was eaten by the mantis as dinner? ”

"Why not?" I thought Bai Ze would refute, but I didn't expect him to just say something lightly.

At this time, not only Gao Zhan looked back at Bai Ze, but even Bai Li and Lord Xin also looked back at Bai Ze.

"Mr. Bai, what you just said is why not these four words? You are literate, do you know what these four words mean? This praying mantis eats people, but you can't talk nonsense. The disappearance of Xu Sangongzi has been an unsolved case many years ago, although it is an unsolved case, but the government has always kept it in mind, especially our family Master Xin, who has to look through those old files from time to time, if you really have clues, you can't hide it from us. ”

"Xu Sangongzi did go out to buy ink, and it is true that he has never been to Han Shuzhai, his disappearance has nothing to do with Han Shuzhai, but Han Shuzhai was involved in the Xu family's affairs, which led to a sharp decline in business.

"The fact that Han Shuzhai has nothing to do with the disappearance of Xu Sangongzi has long been confirmed by our government office, and an announcement has also been issued to the public, but those people don't believe it, plus Xu Sangongzi's whereabouts have been unknown, they don't want to believe the announcement of the old shopkeeper and the government office."

"What Mrs. Xu said is not all false, she said that it is true that Xu Sangongzi went out to buy ink, but it is false to say that Xu Sangongzi returned to Xu's mansion. Xu Sangongzi is not only the third son of the Xu family, but also the old customer of Han Shuzhai, even if he forgets to bring money when he goes out, he will not return home to get it, as long as he talks to the old shopkeeper, and waits until the next day to send someone over to send money. ”

"Yes, the prefectural magistrate of the year also thought so."

"Xu Sangongzi has neither returned to the Xu family, nor has he stayed anywhere in Huaxi Town, so where did he go? Some of the seemingly crazy words that Mrs. Xu Shao said when she went to the palace for the second time were actually true. ”

"Which part?"

"It's true that Mrs. Xu Shao ate this part of Xu Sangongzi." Bai Ze curled the corners of his lips and looked at the people in a daze: "The county government has checked this, checked that, but it seems that they never thought of investigating Mrs. Xu." ”

"What is there to investigate about this Young Lady Xu? She is the cousin of Xu Sangongzi and a relative of the Xu family, and she is a person who knows the roots. ”

"Mrs. Xu's identity is right, but she is wrong." Bai Ze continued: "Do you know that Young Lady Xu had an accident before marrying into the Xu family. ”

"What did Mr. Bai say?" Gao Zhan frowned: "But what does that incident have to do with Mrs. Xu eating Xu Sangongzi, Mrs. Xu is a human, not a demon beast, how can this person eat people?" ”

"Gao Zhukuai has not eaten it, it does not mean that others have not eaten it. Besides, who told Gao Zhukuai that Mrs. Xu Shao is a human, not a demon beast? A cold glow flashed in Bai Ze's eyes.

Mountains and seas are eaten by monsters
