County office.

Chu Xuan went straight to the library.

There are three warehouses in Yushan County.

They are the money and grain storehouse, the weapons storehouse and the document storehouse.

The money and grain depot and the armament depot are more important, and the gate is guarded by six strong soldiers.

The clerical inventory is placed in case files, which is slightly less important than the first two.

Usually, there is only one small official who is stationed and a strong squad officer who guards the door.

Chu Xuan came here, but found that it was not a small official, but a tall middle-aged man.

Dressed in a cyan cloth dress, simple and elegant.

He was tall and thin, and his face was unremarkable, but he exuded a murderous aura.

But it's not like a murderer, it's more like a chivalrous man who slays demons and destroys countless demons.

The man was holding a dossier and reading it.

The clerk in charge of the library respectfully accompanies him.

This person Chu Xuan recognized that he was one of the three giants of Yushan County.

The three giants of the county government are Zheng Rui, the county magistrate, Li Lian, and the county lieutenant Wang Tianfeng.

There is also a warden Bai Zhongping under him, but the warden is not in the product, and he is naturally worse than the county captain and the county lieutenant.

During the meal, his uncle Qin Hai often mentioned Wang Tianfeng to him, saying that he had a friendship.

Originally, Qin Hai wanted Chu Xuan to come to see Wang Tianfeng as soon as possible, but Wang Tianfeng was not in the county office, but was dealing with those powerful demons outside.

The matter was put aside for the time being.

Unexpectedly, today I met Wang Tianfeng in the library.

However, what caught Chu Xuan's attention even more was the knife he put on the table.

The blade of the knife was clearly hidden in the sheath, but its sharp aura penetrated the scabbard and emanated.

Suppressing anyone around him, even living beings.

Chu Xuan glanced at it a few times and then didn't look at it again, but bowed to Wang Tianfeng.

"I've seen the county captain."

Wang Tianfeng glanced at him, nodded slightly, and wanted to continue to flip through the file, but suddenly looked up at him, "Are you a newcomer?" I've never met you. ”

Chu Xuan replied, "Humble Chu Xuan, he only entered the county government a month ago. ”

Wang Tianfeng looked at him seriously, "You look like a person, Chu Xuan...... Are you Chu Gang's son? ”

Chu Xuan nodded, "Yes, my lord." ”

Wang Tianfeng was a little surprised, so he put the file on the table, pointed to the little official next to him, and motioned for him to go out.

After seeing the little official leave, he said slowly, "I know about your father, during this time, I was looking for those gangsters who attacked Baihe City outside, but unfortunately I only killed the gangsters led by the leader, and the rest of the people were not found." ”

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised, and arched his hand, "Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant!" ”

Wang Tianfeng nodded slightly, and looked at Chu Xuan a few more times, "What are you doing in the library?" It stands to reason that if you are a newcomer and catch quickly, you should have no case in hand. ”

Chu Xuan told Wang Tianfeng about the situation in Zhoukou Town and Zhou Jian's request for him to come back to check the file.

Wang Tianfeng thought thoughtfully, "This is really important, then you can consult the file." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his knife and walked towards the outside of the library.

At this time, the knife suddenly jumped out of the scabbard, and the handle rushed towards Chu Xuan in a daze!

Chu Xuan frowned, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to resist.

The next moment, the hilt collided with his palm.

A brief tingling sensation came from the palm of his hand.

It was like someone had been stabbed with a long needle.

At the same time, there was a voice in his head whispering words such as kill, death, and extinction.

Chu Xuan wanted to hear clearly, but found that at this time, a big hand had firmly grasped the handle of the knife.

He looked up and saw that it was Wang Tianfeng.

The other party looked at him with strange eyes.

Chu Xuan was taken aback.

He reacted.

He had heard before that Wang Tianfeng had gone to the vicinity of Baihe City to look for the gangsters who killed Chu Gang.

Among those gangsters, the first one used a strange knife, which was extremely murderous, and even dug people's hearts and drank human blood.

Ordinary headhunters are no match for him at all.

Chu Gang was hated by that strange knife.

That strange knife should have the power to manipulate people's hearts, and perhaps it will gradually change from people using knives to knives using people.

His current apparent identity is just a small catcher in the third stage of skin refining.

It stands to reason that there should be some bad reactions when you touch the strange knife.

Maybe it's heartbreaking, or maybe it's confusion and despair.

Otherwise, Wang Tianfeng would not have such a strange look.

Chu Xuan's mind was running at high speed, trying his best to think about it, trying to find an excuse to prevaricate this matter.

However, Wang Tianfeng retracted his gaze and waved his hand, "Go and do your thing." ”

With that, he shoved the knife into its scabbard and left the library with it.

Chu Xuan blinked.

Wang Tianfeng didn't see it?

No, he must have seen it.

But why not break it down?

Doorway.

The corners of Wang Tianfeng's mouth rose, "Even if this knife is just touched, a martial artist below the fifth stage of skin refining will be struck by lightning, and at the same time, he will have a splitting headache." ”

"But he only felt a brief tingling pain, and he reacted very little."

"This kid has hidden a lot of strength, which can be of great use."

……

Chu Xuan suppressed his worries from the bottom of his heart.

With Wang Tianfeng's strength, if he really wanted to do anything to him just now, he would have done it at that time.

Come to think of it, Wang Tianfeng should have seen through it and not said it, saving face for both sides.

"Let's focus on the present."

Chu Xuan took a few deep breaths and looked at the library.

As far as the eye can see, the files here are piled up on the shelves.

The bookshelves are arranged by year and month.

The clerks in the library are obviously well cared for, and even the files from decades ago have not accumulated much dust.

Chu Xuan walked straight to the farthest row of bookshelves.

"The first year of Yongming."

Looking further back, it is the second year of Yongming and the third year of Yongming.

Until the latest row of bookshelves, it was the twenty-sixth year of Yongming.

"So, the current Emperor Dayu is also Emperor Yongming?"

Chu Xuan came to the bookshelf of the twenty-sixth year of Yongming, found the files related to population movement, and began to flip through them.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, I came to the bookshelf of Yongming's twenty-five years and continued to read.

Thanks to his soul that is now beyond ordinary people, he can read books and memorize knowledge far faster than ordinary people.

It wasn't until sunset that Chu Xuan finished reading all the files from the first year of Yongming to the twenty-sixth year of Yongming that he slowly raised his head.

"None of the twenty-six years of the dossier has anything to do with weirdness or meat Tai Sui."

"Either there are not enough years, maybe in more distant years, or ...... It's just that those files are more classified, not stored in the library, and not accessible at my level. ”

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly, and put the matter aside for the time being.

Turning to thinking about something else.

"Dayu has a very loose control over the flow of people, as long as you have customs clearance documents and have a valid reason, you can move."

"In the past three years, there have indeed been many rogues who have fled to Yushan County, some from Fucheng, and some from the next county."

"Four people were caught and beheaded, and four more are at large, one of whom was nicknamed Poison Blood and liked to test poison with living people, but he disappeared two years ago, perhaps hiding incognito."

"The other three are all monks, two evil monks are on the run after killing the people's women, and one monk is on the run after killing people in Fucheng and fled to Yushan County, and he is also on the run."

"But the strength of these people is not strong, that is, the second and third stages of skin refining, Zhang Zheng is also at this level, it should be impossible to easily make Zhang Zheng lose his combat effectiveness."

Chu Xuan continued to think, "In addition, in the files of Zhoukou Town, there is not a single case related to Zhang Zheng, which shows that he rarely conflicts with people. ”

"Why is such a person being targeted?"

Chu Xuan thought about it, and suddenly a spirit stirred, "Could it be indiscriminate killing?" ”

Indiscriminate homicide refers to a homicide case in which there is no contact between the perpetrator and the victim, and the perpetrator randomly selects the target of the crime and sees who kills whom at the scene of the crime.

Such cases are extremely difficult to investigate.

There is no acquaintance between the perpetrator and the victim, and there is no way to investigate it.

This kind of case relies on monitoring before crossing.

But where does the monitoring come from now!

Chu Xuan scratched his head for a while.

I'm afraid this case is going to become an unsolved case.

However, even if he has a headache, it is not his headache, that is something that Zhou Jian, who is a head catcher, has to consider.

Chu Xuan quickly focused on his own affairs.

On the desk in front of him, the file of the sixteenth year of Yongming was spread out.

This is exactly what Zhou Long said "ten years ago".

This dossier records the basic information of all the people from other counties who came to Yushan County.

Because these people must have customs clearance documents, the information can ensure the authenticity of eighty or ninety percent.

"Henghui, a monk from Moyun Temple, came to Yushan County from Qinghe Mansion City, looking for a lay monk, temporarily staying at the Zaoshu Inn in Yushan City, and disappeared after five days."

There is also a portrait of Henghui and a missing person notice next to it.

Chu Xuan's eyes froze.

Five days later, he was missing.

Was he killed by someone else and disappeared, or did he disguise himself as missing?

Chu Xuan continued to look down, suddenly surprised.

"Mo Huairen, a native of Shuanglong County, a pharmacist, came to Yushan County from Shuanglong County, wanted to discuss medical skills and medicinal skills with friends, temporarily lived in Yushan City Jujube Tree Inn, and disappeared five days later."

Underneath, there is also a portrait of Mo Huairen and a missing person notice.
