Chapter 3: Serial Murders
"Brother Xu is really a master and bold, I thought you were only a man, but I didn't expect that even the corpse would ......"
I saw Chen Yibing jumping down from the high wall a few times, and I happened to see Xu Jianping kneeling in front of the pregnant woman with his legs, lifting the pregnant woman's clothes, and his hands were twitching in front of his chest. Looking from behind, it is inevitable that people will not be delusional.
Xu Jianping didn't know what he meant, turned around, and looked at Chen Yibing with innocent eyes, and the tip of the six-inch short knife in his hand was right
"Tick, tick."
"Ahh
In this silent alley, in front of the corpses all over the ground, a man with a blood-dripping short knife looked at you stupidly, and the bold man Chen Yibing couldn't help but be startled, "You, you, where are you?"
Xu Jianping turned sideways and took out a piece of white silk from the wooden box, saying that it was white silk, but it was just a name. Wipe the short knife in your hand back and back and put it back into the wooden box. "After the unjust death of unborn babies, the resentment is very heavy, they cannot be reincarnated, and they have nowhere to go.
"Aren't you doing it, how can you look like a demon" Chen Yibing suppressed the fear in his heart, and muttered in his mouth.
"The master said that the duty of the deceased is not only to help the deceased to avenge his grievances and find the real culprit, but also to appease his soul and help him reincarnate." When Xu Jianping said this, he couldn't help but think of the old face full of folds.
As he was talking, Qian Zhutou ran in from the mouth of the alley, maybe he was really too fat, he was already out of breath at the moment, and his shiny skull was steaming. "It's so far away that we can't catch up."
Xu Jianping didn't speak, just glanced at the bloated belly lightly, and couldn't help but suspect that if it was less than a hundred catties, maybe he would catch up.
"How is it here" Chen Yibing saw that Boss Qian was coming, and hurriedly asked Boss Qian's opinion.
"You go to inform the officials to come over, get the body back to the yamen, and go to the Taishou Mansion with Xu Yanzuo, and the Taishou is in a hurry."
Taishou Fufu.
Liu Jingrui is not confused when he is too old, he is born with elegant literary quality, and now he is already the Taishou of Jingzhou, and after the expiration of his tenure, he wanted to be transferred to Kyoto. I never thought that such a strange case would happen in the city.
"My subordinates have seen Lord Taishou."
"Jiangling is a servant, Xu Jianping has seen Lord Taishou."
Qian Zhutou took Xu Jianping to the inner hall of the Taishou Mansion, and at this moment, Taishou Li Jingrui was looking at the case in his hand, "Well, why did you come so late." ”
Qian Zhutou looked at Xu Jianping beside him, "I encountered a homicide case on the way here, and I was delayed. ”
Li Taishou frowned after hearing this, "But it's the same as before." ”
"No, there are corpses in this case, there are as many as eight dead, the reason for it is not known for the time being, and after tomorrow's investigation, my subordinates will report again" Qian Zhutou stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead.
"You are Xu Jianping."
"Exactly so-and-so."
"Look at this, since my brother recommended Rulai, there must be some means, and he will follow Qian to catch the head in the future." Although Li Jingrui didn't have much expectations for him, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor at present, so he threw the things in his hand to Xu Jianping.
"Subordinates have ordered" Xu Jianping took the case, did not look at it on the spot, put it in his arms, and together with Qian Zhutou, he bowed his hand and withdrew from the Taishou Mansion.
Inside the yamen.
Qian Zhutou briefly described this serial murder case to Xu Jianping.
Since the beginning of the year, in just three months, there have been four strange cases in the city, and the way of death is very strange. The deceased was burned to ashes from the inside out, but the things around the deceased did not burn, and the flames burned to the skin and then went out automatically. At the beginning of the murder, everyone thought that it was just a fire in the house, so they did not report it to the official.
A few days ago, in the drunken immortal building restaurant, in full view of everyone, Uncle He Ping was killed by the flames in his body. So far, it is rumored in the city that this is a ghost and a god, it is said that after the Taishou Mansion demolished the Fahua Temple in the south of the city a few years ago, the Bodhisattva will no longer shelter Jingzhou, resulting in ghosts and monsters running rampant, although this is a conspiracy theory behind the heart, but with the successive occurrence of cases, now the theory of ghosts and gods has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
So much so that the people in the city never went out at night, for fear that they would be cursed, because the bustling Suzaku streets on weekdays would be so desolate tonight.
"Do ghosts and gods kill?" Xu Jianping is in the company of the dead all day long, obviously he doesn't believe it, if he wants to kill, I'm afraid that the first person to die will be himself. Ordinary people are afraid of ghosts and gods, but you must not know that sometimes the human heart is more terrible than ghosts and gods.
For the puppet, all the key clues to solve the case are on the corpse, and people may lie, but the corpse will not.
"Let one go, let one let go."
I saw several officials rubbing their hands with rags in their hands, placing them on their shoulders, muttering to each other,
"At night, so many people died, and it didn't make people sleep comfortably."
"Isn't it? You say that this family is also very pitiful, alas. ”
"Don't say this, it's unlucky, will you go to Yanyulou to clean your body later?"
"Go together, go together". When Chen Yibing heard this, he hurriedly ran out, happily intervened, and invited Qian Zhutou and the other two to the end.
"Get out of the way, this time Xu Qizuo has been on the road for a day, so that he can rest well" Qian Zhutou kicked Chen Yibing without fun.
Obviously, these were the officials who brought the body back.
"It's late tonight, I'm resting, and I'll come tomorrow to discuss the case" Qian Zhutou took Xu Jianping to a room in the backyard of the yamen and pointed: "You live here for the time being, see you tomorrow." ”
Xu Jianping pushed open the door, this is an ordinary room that is not big or small, although it is ordinary, but it is very plain, obviously someone has cleaned it before. I can't see that the five big and three thick money catchers are still a thoughtful person.
Xu Jianping placed his luggage, took out the wooden box, opened it, and took out the "Haoran Righteousness" from the inside, which was left by the master for himself. In the past three years, Xu Jianping has inhaled and exhaled every day when he falls asleep according to what is said in the book. Although there are no martial arts moves inside, for Xu Jianping, this is the only "cultivation secret" he has come into contact with.
"Inhale."
"Exhale."
In the middle of the night, Xu Jianping finally fell asleep, the moon outside the window was like a hook, the summer insects were crisp, a few stars accompanied by the flickering cold moon, and the faint breeze blew, rolling up the past.
Unknowingly, a phantom figure rose from the bed, glowing with a little starlight, and a sound turned into a mighty righteousness from Xu Jianping's brow.
On the banks of the Xiangshui River, in the courtyard of the high-walled house.
"Big brother, the Yan family is already there," a man wearing a hat gestured with both hands around his neck.
"Well, Yan Shuhuan has found it" After saying that, the person inside threw out a purse, which was full of silver.
"I haven't found it yet, but the brothers below have searched the whole city, and I suspect that he may have escaped from Jingzhou City," said the man in the hat.
"Bastard, you want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death, continue to look for me."
