Chapter 51: The Chen Family's Murder
The woman who died yesterday was not an ordinary person, but the fourth lady of the local Chen Yuanwai family, and Zhao Yuanwai was a big family in the capital, who made a living by selling silk, and the family was quite wealthy, and was inextricably linked with the imperial court.
This Chen family's young lady Chen Jingyi died strangely, I am afraid that it was done by demons, this case naturally belongs to Jin Wuwei, Tang Xuan is the one who found the body, and was asked to participate in the investigation of this case.
The corpse was placed in the back office of the Jinwu Wei Fu Town Division, and Cheng Xiyao and Tang Xuan were examining the corpse.
Chen Jingyi is a junior immortal cultivator, and the corpse is not stiff, but because of this, it is difficult to infer the specific time of his death, only roughly knowing that it was last night.
"There were no signs of the body being violated, and the incision on the neck was not very neat, and it looked as if it had been cut several times before the head was cut off...... There are bite marks on the abdomen, the left foot is missing, and there are signs of gnawing. Cheng Xiyao put on her gloves and said while checking the corpse.
"The corpse was deliberately stripped of its clothes and then decapitated with a knife such as a dagger...... The missing left foot was probably eaten by wild dogs, and it is estimated that the time of death should be in the middle of the night. Tang Xuan said his thoughts, he used to work as a mage in Yanggu County, and he had been exposed to many homicide cases and had rich experience.
"When demons kill people, most of them eat their corpses, and their internal organs come first...... This Chen Jingyi's body is relatively intact, but there is indeed a trace of demonic energy remaining, which is really weird. Cheng Xiyao took off her gloves, put them aside, and looked at Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan was about to speak, when suddenly someone walked into the room, this person looked about twenty years old, medium stature, big head and round face, a pair of goldfish eyes looked a little sluggish, wearing an official uniform, and there was a faint anger on his face, which made people feel a little disgusted.
"Xi Yao, a good girl's family, you shouldn't touch these bloody corpses." The man gently shook the folding fan and came to Cheng Xiyao, revealing a smiling face, this smile, the folds of his face, it is estimated that he can kill flies.
"Thank you for the care of the huge people, where the responsibilities are, and I dare not slack off." Cheng Xiyao had a cold face and saluted with fists.
This person is Pang Yunfeng, this guy always runs here on weekdays, but his family is extremely powerful, and no one dares to stop him.
Pang Yunfeng smiled, reached out to hug Cheng Xiyao, and said, "You and I are about to become a family, I care about you, should I care......
Cheng Xiyao shook her shoulders, took two steps back, her eyebrows were twisted together, and replied in a low voice: "Official business, huge people, please respect yourself." ”
"Cheng Xiyao, don't be ignorant, no one can escape from the palm of my hand...... You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family. Pang Yunfeng glanced at Tang Xuan on the side with ruthlessness in his eyes, "As a woman, you should care about your reputation, otherwise you will harm others and yourself." ”
"I know." Cheng Xiyao lowered her head.
"You and I already have a marriage contract, so my son is not in a hurry, where to go, you can weigh it yourself."
Hearing this, Tang Xuan's expression changed, it turned out that this Pang Yunfeng had already had a marriage contract with Cheng Xiyao!
Threat! Naked threat!
This Pang Yunfeng was so arrogant, he actually threatened Cheng Xiyao and Tang Xuan in this Jinwu Wei Fu Zhen Division.
At this moment, Ouyang Wen hurriedly came, and said with a smile on his face: "The huge man is here again, your status is noble, this place is filthy, don't pollute the eyes of adults, please drink tea in the lobby." ”
"No need, I'm just here to see." Pang Yunfeng looked Tang Xuan up and down with an unkind look in his eyes, nodded meaningfully, and turned around and left the room.
Tang Xuan had already seen that this Pang Yunfeng was full of hostility towards him, I am afraid that he already knew that he lived in Cheng Xiyao's place, Cheng Xiyao obviously had a marriage contract with Pang Yunfeng, and still let him live at home, the reason for this was intriguing.
Although Tang Xuan's mind is relatively simple, he can also see some clues, he can only think about the good place, maybe this Cheng Xiyao wants to huddle together to keep warm, or he has confidence in his own strength.
……
Tang Xuan and Cheng Xiyao investigated the case separately, and he immediately went to Cheng's Mansion to investigate the situation.
This is already the third corpse to be cut off, and the victims are all from the Cheng Mansion, which is very strange, but the government has investigated for a long time, and there is no result.
Tang Xuan found Cheng Yuan, and the two talked in the hall.
"I heard that this is the third victim of your mansion, who are those two? What was the state of death? After all, Tang Xuan was not a fool, and he did not carefully examine this headless corpse.
"One is Ma Wu, my right-hand man, and the other is my concubine Meilan...... Meilan, like my daughter, lost her head and clothes, was abducted while sleeping, and died on the street, but this Ma Wu died at the door of Wenxiang Building. ”
Chen Yuanwai told the truth, and Tang Xuan fell into deep thought when he heard this.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Xuan sighed and said, "The murderer came to seek revenge, she killed your concubine and daughter, and made her die on the street, I am afraid it will embarrass you...... Have you ever harmed anyone? Is that Ma Wu also involved? ”
"I ...... Master Ben has always kept to himself and never done evil! Although Chen Yuanwai said this, his eyes flickered a little.
"Since the staff does not cooperate, Tang resigns!"
Tang Xuan was about to leave, but Chen Yuanwai immediately stopped him, and said with a smile on his face: "Tang Gong stays, please let the villain come carefully......"
A year ago, a few years ago, Chen Yuanwai accepted a concubine Han Suyun, which is not a big deal in a big family, but this Han Suyun is a restless person, and he was caught by Chen Yuanwai having an affair with a subordinate.
Chen Yuanwai scolded this subordinate with a heavy cane, drove him out of the house, and ordered Ma Wu to kill Han Suyun, and it was by cutting off his head that the body was thrown down the Black Dragon Valley.
It seems that this case is related to Han Suyun, and his body needs to be found and the situation of the year needs to be investigated.
……
The Black Dragon Valley is in the northeast of the capital, this canyon is thousands of miles long, and it is said that some people have seen the black dragon soar from the valley to the sky, hence the name.
The black fog in the valley is rising, and there is no bottom in sight.
"Tang Gong, this is the place where Han Suyun was thrown back then!" Chen Yuanwai pointed down.
Tang Xuan nodded, and asked Chen Yuanwai to prepare a long rope, and went down the rope to the bottom of the valley.
When he reached the bottom of the valley, he made a discovery, and in the fog a skeleton appeared, like the skeleton of a wild boar, and no human bones were found.
Suddenly, Tang Xuan found a cave not far away, Tang Xuan tiptoed into the cave, and a thick demonic aura rushed to his face.
"There's a demon inside!" Tang Xuan's heart was not shocked, now that his strength had improved rapidly, he already had confidence in himself.
Moving on, a large hall appeared in front of me, with a slight light.
"Give me back~"
"Give me back~"
A shrill hoarse voice came from the hall.
Tang Xuan frowned, and looked at it, in the hungry corner of the hall, there was a coffin, and this voice came from near the coffin.
"Who's there?" Tang Xuan scolded sharply!
"I died so miserably~ Give me my life back!" The hoarse female voice reappeared.
At the same time, the lid of the coffin was shaking wildly, as if something was about to break out of the coffin, could it be that there were zombies hidden in it!
"Bang!"
The lid of the coffin fell to the ground, splashing a large cloud of dust!
A slender jade hand was on top of the coffin lid, and Tang Xuan took two steps back in shock.
However, although the situation in front of him was weird, it didn't give him a sense of danger, and Tang Xuan also added caution!
Swish!
The person in the coffin sat up, Tang Xuan frowned, it turned out to be a headless person, and the top of his neck completely disappeared, and there was only a hole the size of a walnut.
It was a young woman of great figure, and the clothes on her body had long since disappeared, except for a few rags hanging over her shoulders, and with a slight movement, the rags shattered into dust.
The man stepped out of the coffin and stood in front of it.
"Give me back my head...... headless woman stepped forward, trembling towards Tang Xuan.
"It's just a corpse!" Tang Xuan frowned, and with a light punch, Gangfeng knocked the corpse away, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, not moving...... It turned out to be just a bluffing thing, and the combat power was almost negligible!
"The one hiding in the corner, did you come out by yourself, or did Uncle Ben invite you to come out!" Tang Xuan pointed to the corner near the coffin, he could already feel the True Yuan fluctuation there.
Call!
A huge black shadow flew out of the corner and hung upside down at the top of the hall, unexpectedly a huge bat demon.
No wonder there are many bones of wild beasts outside, it turns out that this guy brought them to the bottom!
"The adults spare their lives, and the little ones have never done evil, just hiding from the troubled times here!" The bat demon spoke, flew down the hall, and transformed into a sturdy young man.
Tang Xuan clasped his hands and said indifferently: "The corpse is here, do you still have to quibble?" ”
The bat demon crouched on the ground and said respectfully: "Although the corpse is stored in my cave, this person is not harmed by me...... She is still alive. Although I am a demon, I have never hurt anyone, but I only feed on wild beasts and melons and fruits! ”
The bat demon is right, there are a lot of bones here, but none of them are human bones, and he is not evil in nature.
"The corpse is here, how can people still be alive? Get up and speak! Tang Xuan knew that things were probably a little complicated.
A man and a demon sat opposite each other at the stone table next to them.
The Bat Demon began to tell the story: "About a year or two ago, when I returned from foraging, I suddenly saw a corpse on the ground with its head separated. I didn't intend to pay attention to the grievances between humans, so I ignored ...... But when I looked at it the next day, I noticed something that frightened me.
"What?"
The bat demon's expression was solemn and continued: "Although this woman was beheaded, her body is special, and her head is still alive!" She licked the dirt and dew, desperately trying to live, and slowly regenerated from her neck, although it was only a trace of flesh, but it was indeed growing...... Moreover, its body was not decomposed. ”
"It's not surprising, some people have bloodlines in their bodies, and some people are innate spirits, such people have special abilities and can indeed do incredible things!" Tang Xuan had also heard some strange things from Xiao Ji.
"My lord is right, I am afraid that this is the case, I have observed it for three days, and this head is still not dead, but it is getting weaker and weaker...... I felt pity for him, and put his body in a coffin, and brought his head into the house, where it was placed at the head of the bed. ”
The bat demon was kind enough to do such a thing.
"And then?" Tang Xuan asked.
"In the future...... I injected demonic power into her skull to help her recover, and fed her with melon juice every day, but this woman was also angry, and she was able to absorb part of her skull and gradually give birth to her neck! After that, I fed some minced meat, and in the course of two months, the woman gave birth to a new body! "What the bat demon said is really incredible.
"How can it be!" Tang Xuan asked.
The bat demon nodded, "This woman's recovery speed is extremely fast, and in less than half a year, she will be back to the same as before!" She then left the place, and gave me a few wild beasts and fruits as a token of gratitude, and never came again. ”
"I see! Did this woman leave her name? ”
"No, I didn't want to have too much contact with humans, I didn't care what her name was, and she never mentioned it." The Bat Demon replied respectfully.
"There is only one head left, and she survived with willpower, this woman must have a great grudge in her heart, and you give her a trace of demonic power! When demonic power enters the human body, even a trace of it, it will distort the mind...... After this woman goes out, she will definitely set off a bloody storm. "Tang Xuan has now been able to determine that this woman is Han Suyun!
"The adult forgives her sins, the little one just looks at her pitiful...... "The bat demon clenched his fist.
Tang Xuan stood up and said, "This matter is not your fault, Your Excellency is kind-hearted and has no quarrel with the world, and you will definitely achieve great achievements in the future...... Leave! ”
"Thank you, sir!" The Bat Demon stood up and saluted back.
People are good and bad, and demons are also good and evil, such a demon, Tang Xuan will not kill indiscriminately.
It seems that this matter should be related to the woman named Han Suyun, and it needs to be investigated carefully in the Cheng Mansion, and this Han Suyun only needs to wait for the rabbit in order to retaliate against the Chen Mansion.
