In the morning, the bitter river wharf in Yonghui City.

The wine shop where the accident happened had been opened by the officials, and Xu Zun took the three boat owners who were eating with Yan Sen at that time into the wine shop.

Just in case, Xu Zun always took Ku Niang with him, let her sit in the carriage, and wait outside.

In addition, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu and other guards were also present.

As soon as they entered the liquor store, the three shipowners couldn't help but shudder, remembering the scene of the ghost haunting that day, their legs were collectively weak, and they couldn't move.

"That ......day," said one of the ship's owners, pointing to his seat near the river, "we will eat at this table, with the Yan shopkeeper facing the bitter river with his back to the main entrance.

"Then, the lewd ghost came in through the main entrance, jumped directly over the table and knocked down the shopkeeper Yan, and then dragged him into the wine cellar and killed him......

Oh......

Xu Zun observed the scene and found that the blood stains on the ground had not yet been cleaned, and there was a stream of blood in the cold air.

"In other words......" Zhao Yu asked behind Xu Zun, "that Lewd Ghost's goal is clear?" Is it for the shopkeeper Yan? ”

"yes, yes, it seems to be so." The three nodded in unison.

"At that time," Xu Zun asked, "When the ghost appeared, didn't there be any bodyguards around Shopkeeper Yan?" ”

"Yes, yes," one of them replied, "the whole liquor store is owned by Yan, and the guys in the shop are all his people." ”

"But," said the other shipowner, "the ghosts are so scary, and when Shopkeeper Yan is dragged in, we don't dare to go in!" ”

"Tell me more about what that lewd ghost looks like?" Xu Zun asked again.

"It's the same as in the New Year's paintings, with green scales on its body and fangs on its face," someone described, "and walks on four legs, with very sharp claws in front and sharp teeth!" ”

"And," added another, "when I pounced, I heard that beastly roar, and it was so furious to hear!" ”

"Yes, yes," said the last one, "as soon as the ghost came out, it seemed that it was suddenly dark, and it was so cold that it should have snowed, but it was raining." ”

"And then?" Xu Zun asked again.

So, the three of them told the story of what happened later, saying that after the shopkeeper Yan was bitten to death by the ghost, the ghost crashed into everyone and jumped directly into the water and disappeared.

Later, the county guard Qin Lang rushed to hear the news, but no one expected that as soon as Qin Lang entered the wine cellar to check the corpse, the lewd ghost appeared again, knocking Qin Lang down and biting him.

If it weren't for the public present who drove them away with sticks, I'm afraid Qin Lang would have lost his life on the spot.

Rao is like this, Qin Lang is also not lightly injured, it is said that the ghost bit his cheekbones, and directly pierced his cheeks, causing Qin Lang to be completely disfigured, and it was difficult to even open his mouth to eat.

Next, Xu Zun carefully explored the scene, and after some thought, asked the three ship owners:

"When you and Shopkeeper Yan were eating and drinking, did he have any abnormalities?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Do you know who Shopkeeper Yan has offended recently?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Then what are you talking about when you and Shopkeeper Yan are having wine?"

"Talking about the purchase of goods," replied one of the shipowners, "Recently, the shopkeeper Yan has exchanged a batch of good goods from Shuzhou, all of which are high-quality Shu embroidered Shu brocade, and we are discussing how to take over the goods!" ”

"Then ......," Xu Zun asked, "where is that batch of goods now?" ”

"It should still be in Shuzhou!" Another shipowner said, "Originally, we planned to ask Lang Jun for help, but this batch of goods can make a lot of money!" ”

"Lang Jun?" Xu Zun was curious, "Who is Lang Jun?" ”

"Oh," replied the shipowner, "it's our Li Gang Master's Lang Jun, he is the county magistrate of Zhinan County, and he is handed over to Shuzhou, just in time to handle this batch of goods!" ”

What!!?

Xu Zun sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "This Lang Jun is Li Rong'er's father-in-law?" ”

"That's right!" The shipowner nodded, "His county order was also arranged by our Gang Master Li!" ”

Ooh......

Xu Zun's forehead was already sweating, and he never expected that he would encounter this kind of green-related thing again.

Li Ronger has a husband, how can she still ...... Alas......

Is this fate?

After the three ship owners went out, Hou Zhen came in and reported: "My lord, after the murder of the shopkeeper Yan, the Purple Mountain faction wantonly killed the gang of the big warehouse, and the guys in this wine shop have escaped without a trace.

"The other big warehouses are all hiding, and it will take some time to find them."

"Hmm......" Xu Zun nodded and asked Zhao Yu and Huo Anu, "What do you two think?" ”

"Definitely not a ghost!" Huo Anu insisted on his opinion, "Ghosts want to kill, they don't need to be so ostentatious, they can kill people invisibly." ”

"Yes," Zhao Yu echoed, "I heard what these people said, it seems that this lewd ghost is more like a monster!" Otherwise, how could you make that kind of whooping sound? ”

"That makes sense," Xu Zun nodded, "But there is a problem, if the lewd ghost is a monster, then how can it only kill Yan Sen and Qin Lang?" ”

"Isn't it ......," Zhao Yu pondered, "This monster has been domesticated?" Or...... Or ......"

"Someone pretending?" Huo Anu continued to speculate, "A person with very high martial arts is pretending to be a ghost? ”

"There's another point, I don't quite understand," Xu Zun pointed to the wine cellar, "Since the ghost kills people in a high-profile manner, wouldn't it be nice to bite Yan Sen to death on the spot?" Why drag people into the cellar first, and then bite them to death? ”

"My lord......" At this time, Zhao Yu came up with an idea, "Or, let's ask the most critical party, right?" I think no one knows this better than that Qin Lang! ”

"Well, that's right, but ......," Xu Zun said, "before visiting Qin Junshou, we still have to go and see Yan Sen's body." ”

After speaking, Xu Zun walked out of the wine shop and instructed Hou Zhen and Ah Xiuzai: "You two will go to find the guy in the big warehouse again, I want to know what Yan Sen has done!" ”

"Yes!" The two took the order and left.

Next, Xu Zun led the crowd straight to Yizhuang, but because it was too long, the people in Yizhuang told Xu Zun that Yan Sen's body had been buried!

For some unknown reason, the corpse was so badly decomposed that in just a few days it had rotted and stinked, turning into a puddle of rotten meat.

Originally, Xu Zun also wanted to follow the example of the ancient detectives who opened the coffin for an autopsy, but when he heard this statement, he still dispelled this idea.

The inquest of the corpse failed, so they could only retreat and come to the county office's house to visit the county guard Qin Lang.

That county Chengtian Murong naturally did not dare to obstruct it, and immediately invited Xu Zun and the others into Qin Lang's residence.

As a result, as described by others, Qin Lang's cheeks were full of wounds with needles and threads, and his lips, nose, and cheeks were mostly damaged, and he looked extremely miserable.

That Qin Lang opened his mouth but couldn't speak, and he was also in a state of confusion, no matter how Tian Murong introduced him, he didn't know who Xu Zun was.

Qin Lang's family was taking care of him, and they were also wiping their tears while taking care of him, who would have thought that the dignified county guard would be so miserable.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zun could only talk about condolences, and then quit the residence.

Gee......

Zhao Yu smacked his lips and sighed again and again, and said to himself: "A lewd ghost is so difficult to fathom, not to mention that there are also ghosts that can turn people into white bones, and ghosts that can turn people into charcoal!"

"My lord," he said to Xu Zun half-jokingly, "Do you think it's necessary for us to find a mage who is a little more profound?" ”

Xu Zun smiled and said nothing, as if he already had something in his heart......
