At the moment when the black light rose, the guard beside Qu Jingyang, the young man in a flower robe, stretched out his hand and threw out a compass.

The metallic compass is like a giant umbrella that spreads, blooming with a dazzling golden curtain of light, enveloping the entire city gatehouse.

"It's the Cult of Bliss's Corpse Water Talisman!"

The deep voice of the young man in the flower robe sounded, and everyone looked along the battlements, and saw countless black vapor being blocked by the light curtain, bubbling black gas.

The black water charm is an extremely filthy evil charm, as long as ordinary people are contaminated by the black vapor, they will suffer from the plague, and the pagan cultists often use this charm to harm the people, and finally use the divine water charm to drive away the raging plague, which is used to highlight the so-called miracles.

Su Wenshan's face was extremely ugly, Taikang City is a mansion city, but now such a bad thing has appeared under the blue sky and white sun, as the mansion Yin, he cannot escape the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty.

instructed Wang Jianchun to fetch fire oil to wash the ground city wall, and ordered Zhuang Ban to carry water to prevent water from going away, and after all the matters were arranged, Su Wenshan asked about the situation of the evil talisman hurting people.

"Lord Hui, there are five people who have been infected with evil talismans, and they are currently being treated......"

At this time, Ying Anhou Xu Rui suddenly asked, "Have you ever found the gangster who cast the evil talisman?" ”

"Not found..."

On the side, the young man in the flower robe put away the compass and said, "The corpse water charm was only activated when it was close to the ground, and the gangsters hid in the person who snatched the hydrangea." ”

Su Wenshan's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "Today, all the people involved in the case, no matter who they are, will all be arrested and returned to the city to be examined!" ”

At the moment when Su Wenshan was giving orders, another errand came in a hurry.

"My lord, something happened in the Yamen Prison......

……

The government office.

Li Yi and Cui Huai came to the prison.

Su Wenshan couldn't get out of the place for the time being because of the evil talisman, and the case in the prison could only be handled by Cui Huai and others.

As soon as he arrived in the prison, as far as Li Yi could see, there were corpses arranged in a row on the ground.

The prison in charge of the prison was sweating profusely at this time, and said: "The corpses have been examined, and these prisoners have traces of poisonous snake bites on their bodies, probably died in an accident..."

Cui Huai frowned and said, "What about the snake, have you ever caught it?" ”

The prison shook his head and said, "When the jailer found out that the prisoner was dead, the snake had already escaped and was not captured. ”

In front of the neatly placed corpse, Li Yi squatted down and probed the temperature of the corpse with his hand.

It's hot.

As far as Li Yi knows, after the death of a normal person, within five to ten hours, the body temperature can drop to a temperature equal to the surrounding environment.

The bodies in front of him were visibly higher than the temperature in the cell.

asked him to come to the autopsy record, Li Yi looked at it and found nothing wrong.

"Xun'an, what do you think?" Cui Huai looked at Li Yi.

"There are four corpses in total, and if they die in an accident, a snake may not be able to do it." Li Yi looked at the cell and asked, "Are these prisoners held in solitary confinement?" ”

"It's all in solitary confinement."

"Have you ever had a snake in the prison before?"

"I didn't pay attention to this, but there are rats in the prison, maybe the snake smelled the rats and ran into the prison."

Standing up, Li Yi said firmly: "It's man-made, not an accident!" ”

The prisoner's face changed slightly.

"Li is fast, you can't talk nonsense, the prison is heavily guarded, and the guards inside and outside the prison have not found any suspicious people. Moreover, these people did die in Shekou, which has been confirmed......"

Li Yi looked at the prison and reminded: "As the head of a prison, if a prisoner dies in an accident, he will inevitably be responsible for the failure of supervision. ”

"But if someone drives snakes and kills, Zhao Sijiao may be able to make up for it......"

Hearing this, Zhao Sijiao changed his previous tone and said with burning words: "There has never been a snake plague in the prison before, and this matter must have been committed by gangsters!" ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Even if it is artificial, there will be a motive for the crime, Zhao Sijiao, please take the files of these prisoners." ”

After Zhao Sijiao left, Li Yi suddenly turned his head and asked Cui Huai: "Master Cui, have you smelled a fragrance?" ”

"Scent?" Cui Huai twitched his nose and didn't notice it.

Seeing this, Li Yi pulled Cui Huai's sleeve and squatted down, pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "My lord got closer and smelled it." ”

“......”

Forced by the circumstances of the case, Cui Huai had no choice but to endure the discomfort in his heart, leaned over and sniffed at the corpse.

"Huh? It's really smelly. ”

Li Yi instructed the jailer to open several cells where the prisoners were kept, and then took Cui Huai to sniff at these people.

Under the shocked gaze of the prisoners, Li Yi spoke: "I have seen the Quartet Gazetteer in the shop. In southern Xinjiang, there are not a few people who are good at controlling snakes and repelling insects, among which the technique of controlling snakes is mostly guided by smell, and this fragrance is very likely to be the method of luring snakes and killing people. ”

Returning to the corpse, Zhao Sijiao had already sent the prisoner's file.

The four bodies were not related to each other at the time of their deaths, and the charges for the crimes were different.

However, the identity of one of the corpses attracted Li Yi's attention.

"Ji Fu, the shopkeeper of Xu Ji Yinpu?"

Li Yi looked at one of the corpses with a bruised and swollen face, if he hadn't read the file, he really didn't recognize this as Ji Fu.

He was about to withdraw his gaze, but he was suddenly stunned.

His nose fluttered, and Li Yi seemed to have discovered something, and leaned over again to sniff at the four corpses one by one.

Under the influence of his heart, every time he smelled it, he couldn't help but want to retch.

The enhanced five senses made his sense of smell extremely sensitive.

Looking at Li Yi, who was so dedicated, Cui Huai and Zhao Sijiao didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing each other.

After a while, Li Yi stood up with a somewhat ugly face.

"The target of the gangsters should be Ji Fu!"

Li Yi took the tea handed by Cui Huai, rinsed his mouth, and said: "On several corpses, the smell on Ji Fu's body is the strongest, while the smell on other corpses is similar, which shows that the criminal pays special attention to Ji Fu, and the target of the murderer may be Ji Fu." ”

"Zhao Si Prison, apart from the jailers, who has visited the prison in the past few days?"

"No one visits."

Li Yi frowned slightly, and asked, "What about the jailer, have you checked?" ”

Zhao Sijiao raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "I'll go check it out!" ”

About half an hour later, Zhao Sijiao brought back a new piece of news.

Last night a jailer on duty died in his home, by a mistake.

After the body was transported back to the yamen, Li Yi conducted another search on the jailer's body.

Eventually, he found a sachet wrapped in incense powder on the other party's body.

And the smell of the incense powder is exactly the same as the taste on the corpses of the prison.

In the morgue, Cui Huai's face was gloomy.

Wei Lu clearly stipulates that no prefecture, prefecture, county, or county has the right to execute criminals. Only when a condemned prisoner is reported to the imperial court and approved can the local government have the right to be beheaded.

Now that the jailer is in trouble, causing the prisoner to die for no reason, as a Fu Cheng, he and Fu Yin Su Wenshan are both to blame.

What's more, it's still autumn inspection.

There was an evil talisman case before, and a poisonous snake murder case later, if it is not handled properly, he may be the county next year.
