As the profane clothes were untied, Miss Xie's smooth and white, bumpy body was naked in front of several people's eyes, and this scene actually made the people standing behind him swallow their saliva subconsciously.

I saw that she carefully looked at Miss Xie's body, and then asked her to quickly turn the candle flame closer, and then took out a few silver needles from the box on her waist.

He first inserted a silver needle into Miss Xie's throat.

Then he looked at her eyelids, mouth, hair, and probed carefully.

After a brief observation, she didn't see anything unusual, and then she took the silver needle out of her throat.

I saw that under the illumination of the candlelight, the silver needle glowed with a cold light.

"It's not quite a sign of poisoning, and there are no signs of blunt force blows on the body, but the cause of death is rather strange." His brows furrowed tightly, and then he said: "But there are so many poisons in the world, and whether there is poisoning or not has to wait until you return to the mansion and dissect the corpse before you can draw a conclusion." ”

"The cause of death doesn't need to be investigated, and she is not really dead."

As soon as Lu Xuan's words came out, everyone present was shocked, only to hear him continue: "Actually, it's not much different from death, the Yin Yuan in her body has been taken away by someone, that is, the essence of the person you are talking about!" Without these things, she was left with only the souls that gathered but did not disperse, and in a few moments, the three souls and seven spirits would also disperse, not much different from the dead. ”

"Then according to the adult, the reason why this thief has repeatedly found the yellow flower girl is for the yin yuan in their body? But why can the previous people live for a period of time afterwards, but Miss Xie is..."

Xu Zhixian's question was also a question in Lu Xuan's heart, but he saw his gaze move downward, and he slowly whispered a few words to him.

The latter showed a look of understanding on his face, and then took out a small pair of scissors, cut the body hair of Miss Xie's lower body, took the candle flame from the capture express, sniffed it carefully, and looked through it again, before saying: "My lord is right, Miss Xie has indeed lost her temper, but the time has been a little long." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Xuan asked.

"When a woman first menstruates in personnel, there will be sunflower water flowing out, however, there is no trace of blood on Miss Xie's lower body, if it is said that the thief has cleaned it, but her pelvis is loose and dull in color, which is due to the fact that there are people for a long time."

"Looks like we've figured it out." Lu Xuan sighed slightly, and explained to the rest of the people: "This person wants to practice through the female Yin Yuan, but Miss Xie is no longer a woman who has not left the pavilion, so the Yin Yuan is turbid, and in the process of absorbing the Yin Yuan, he can naturally discover this, maybe this is the reason why Miss Xie died directly." ”

"This Miss Xie is obviously not married yet, how can she have lost her chastity a long time ago? This ....." Catch Kuaizheng was surprised, but was glared at by Xu Zhixian fiercely, and then he stopped the following words.

This magistrate, who thinks about the people, couldn't help but sigh after a short period of thought:

"I can wait until I know about Miss Xie's affairs, after all, Xie Yuanwai is a well-known local rich gentry, although people are dead, but this gossip spreads, they can continue to kill. It is imperative to find out how the thieves committed the crime! If you don't know this, let alone arrest people, even if you take precautions, you can't prevent it at all. ”

Everyone thought so, Lu Xuan walked back and forth in the room, these doors and windows were indeed as caught as Kuai, there was no trace of prying, but with the means of the monk, it was too simple to do these things quietly, but I didn't know what kind of spell he used to enter the room.

It's just that there are too many such spells.

It seems that the "Hidden Heart Sutra" can be easily done, quietly infiltrating the mortal room.

Just as Lu Xuan was thinking about it, he was surprised when he heard the catcher: "Why is there a very faint fragrance in this room?" ”

The scent?

Thinking of the fragrance he smelled when he entered the door, Lu Xuan immediately glanced around, and his face suddenly changed: "Yes! Where does this smell come from! There are no incense burners or other objects in this room, and there are no flowers and plants, and the seats and benches are all made of ordinary nanmu! Why is there such a smell? ”

Hearing Lu Xuan's inquiry, everyone lit candles and found the source of the fragrance in the room.

But after searching for a long time, everyone didn't find anything that could emit fragrance!

"Xu Zhixian, in the previous case, did you smell this fragrance?"

Xu Zhixian frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and then replied: "Someone else came to report the case before, so I didn't smell any fragrance, could it be that there was an incense burner in this room before, so there was a lingering fragrance?" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhixian immediately sent someone to the front yard to inquire about thanking the staff.

The reply was that Xie Yuanwai had never liked the smell of cigarettes.

Therefore, there is no incense burner in the house, and the same is true of Miss Tse's room.

After several fruitless searches.

Lu Xuan asked Yu Kuai to dig up the floor of the room again, but there were still no clues.

The scent is only found in this house.

It is absolutely impossible to come out for no reason.

I've looked for all the places.

Where is the scented stuff hidden?

"That's not right! There is still a place that I haven't looked for! Lu Xuan looked at Miss Xie's corpse on the bed, turned his head and said coldly, "Did you bring a knife?" Cut open her belly for me! ”

"This...."

Lu Xuan's sudden request made him hesitate.

According to the normal process, the autopsy of the damaged corpse can only be carried out with the consent of the deceased's family and in the presence of the rest of the people in the county office.

But after Xu Zhixian nodded, he was forced to take out two knives from the box and cautiously approached Miss Xie's body.

As the flesh was cut by the blade, the bright red organs were revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

The pungent smell of blood and the terrifying images caused many people to revolt and run out of the room and vomit.

But in the midst of this sound of vomiting, she trembled and took out something from Miss Xie's stomach:

"Find... Got it! ”

Lu Xuan's three steps turned into two steps, and he looked directly at the thing in his hand, only to see a sachet on his bloody hand!

This sachet is stained with blood, but you can vaguely see the pattern of mandarin ducks embroidered on the surface!

"Sachet? Why did she swallow the sachet in her stomach? Xu Zhixian was full of questions, but none of them could be answered.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan didn't care why the sachet was in Miss Xie's stomach.

What he cares about is whether this sachet is the medium for the other party to cast spells!

Is it a certificate for the other party to quietly enter Miss Xie's room?

Lu Xuan opened the sachet, and there were some strange pieces of flowers and plants inside, exuding a strange fragrance, but the most eye-catching thing was a note with a short line of words:

"In heaven, I wish to be a winged bird, and on the earth, I wish to be a branch."

In this world, it is not a strange thing for a woman to wear a sachet, and there is nothing wrong with putting some words of expectation in the sachet, but the problem lies in this paragraph.

Obviously, this sachet is a token of love!

Lu Xuan handed over the sachet and note to Xu Zhixian, and said lightly: "Go and check, find out who the person who gave Miss Xie the sachet is, this case should be solved soon." ”

Although Xie Zhixian was a little afraid of the immortal family, he was resolute and resolute in doing things, and when he saw that things were clear, he immediately led a group of people to the front yard to find the Xie family and prepare to ask the matter clearly.

Lu Xuan looked at their departing figures, but he planned to follow and see the excitement.

Halfway through, looking at him floating around in front of him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask again: "What doorway can you see in that sachet just now?" ”

He went into one room after another, and came out of it again, repeatedly, but he didn't answer Lu Xuan's question as actively as he had just now.

It's as if everything has nothing to do with him, he's just a spectator.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan had no choice but to do it.

When he came to the front yard, Xu Zhixian pulled Xie Yuanwai aside, looked at the fat middle-aged man who was crying in front of him, he sighed slightly, and then told the other party the results of the investigation just now.

But after learning this information, Xie Yuanwai immediately pointed at Xie Yuanwai like a fried cat, and scolded: "Lao Tzu told you not to talk nonsense!" My Xie family is upright, my daughter is knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a good temperament, how can she be as unbearable as you say! surnamed Xu, Lao Tzu sees that you just can't find out the truth of the case, so you pour dirty water on us, trying to find a replacement for the dead ghost! ”

Standing next to Xie Yuanwai was Miss Xie's mother, who also didn't care about being sad, grabbed Xu Zhixian and defended her daughter's reputation: "My daughters are gone!" You officials don't want to solve the case, how can you still talk nonsense! ”

In this era when fame is greater than the sky, Miss Xie's death doesn't seem to be so important in their eyes, and the most important thing is fame.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were becoming more and more intense, Xu Zhixian's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Hmph, will Lao Tzu still deceive you?" If I really want to find a replacement for the dead ghost, my surname Xu can't have been found a long time ago, so why wait until now? ”

"Let me tell you, don't think that your family has some power in Nan'an County, and Lao Tzu will not dare to clean you up, if you don't cooperate, you will give Lao Tzu to go to the county government to eat the board!"

"You dare!!" Xie Yuanwai had just experienced the pain of losing his daughter, and he could endure such coercion there, so he immediately glared angrily, and he had the intention of swallowing Xu Zhixian alive.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate and Xu Zhixian wanted to use force, Lu Xuan, who was standing on the side, said coldly: "There are still few people who know about this matter now, if you two really want to make a fuss all over the city, you can follow us to the county office, if you don't want to, call your young lady's personal maid to come over and ask, wouldn't it be clear at a glance which is right and which is right and which is wrong at that time?" ”

"You are!" Xie Yuanwai just wanted to point the finger at Lu Xuan, but he saw this person's full of anger through the moonlight, and his momentum immediately withered a little, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was some reason, so he called Miss Xie's personal maid irritably: "Xiaocui, come over to the master, the official has something to ask you!" ”

The maid named Xiaocui was also crying pear blossoms with rain, and when she heard Xie Yuanwai's roar, she was so frightened that she was so frightened that she walked towards a few people.

Xie Yuanwai waved his hand and directly asked all the people gathered in the courtyard to wait outside the house.

Looking at the good-looking maid in front of him, Xu Zhixian took out the bloody sachet he had just gotten and asked bluntly: "Who gave this thing to your young lady?" ”

Looking at the sachet in Xu Zhixian's hand, Xiaocui's face changed at that time, she lowered her head and replied hesitantly: "I.... I do not know! ”

"Did you hear me? Who knows where you got this thing from, fooling people! Seeing that Xiaocui said that he didn't know, Xie Yuanwai's originally suppressed anger rushed up again.

Knowing that the other party was concealing, Lu Xuan came directly to the maid named Xiaocui, took off the mask on his face in front of everyone, revealing that terrifying face, and his voice was even more gloomy like a ghost crawling out of the underworld:

"My surname is Lu, and my peers like to call me Mr. Lu, but not because I am knowledgeable, but because I like to torture people. Do you know cannon branding? It is to burn a pillar red, and then tie up the living person, and burn him alive, the smell of burnt skin and flesh is simply made my appetite open, I can't wait to go up and bite two bites, these people were just as hard as you before they were tied up, but in the end they all regretted dying, and what should be said was said. ”

"Do you say, have they suffered in vain?"

Seeing that face, Xiao Cui's pupils revealed a little horror, let alone such a terrifying words.

"By the way, there is also Ling Chi, which is specially aimed at you hard-mouthed, and when the time comes, I will cut off the flesh on your body one by one, but I can guarantee that you will not die immediately, you will watch your intestines flow out of your stomach, and you will hear your own blood dripping down......"

Xiao Cui was so frightened by Lu Xuan's words that her face turned pale, and her whole person couldn't stop trembling.

Seeing that she hadn't told the truth yet, Lu Xuan grinned and said, "It's like this......"

In an instant, indescribable despair quietly enveloped Xiao Cui's heart, as if she had seen some extremely terrifying scene, she was so frightened that she collapsed directly to the ground, and screamed:

"I say, I'll say everything! It's Liang Saburo in the east of the city, he gave it to Miss! ”

"Liang Saburo?" Lu Xuan looked at the surrounding people with an inquiring gaze, only to hear Xu Zhixian explain:

"It's a well-known scoundrel in the east of the city, some family property in the early years, but this guy is a good gambler, he has already lost his family property, and he lives by stealing on the street, and the official has captured him several times, not only beat him on the board, but also let him squat in prison for several years, counting this guy has just been out of prison for more than a year, but he has been honest for a while, but why does this guy have anything to do with Miss Xie?"

A rich daughter, a street gangster.

It's not going to be that simple to look at with your toes.

There was also a family outside Xie Yuan who had the same questions as him, only to see him pointing at Xiaocui and scolding: "You bastard, what happened, tell me quickly!" ”

Xiaocui seemed to be still in a state of distraction, but her tone was a little calmer: "Or the year before last, I heard that there are many beautiful strange flowers in the temple under the Forgotten Autumn Mountain, I want to see the flowers, Miss is distressed and I took me to enjoy the flowers, I remember that it rained heavily that day, Miss and I hid in the pavilion behind the temple to avoid the rain, I didn't expect that Liang Saburo and his gangsters were also there, they came up to tease Miss, Miss asked the monks in the temple to drive them away, we were afraid and didn't dare to enjoy the flowers, but just walked out of the temple, We're knocked unconscious....."

"When I wake up... Whining! When Xiao Cui said this, she cried without warning: "In that broken house, there are many, many people, they have stripped us naked, they.... They are not people! Woooooo ”

"Liang Saburo! You ......"

Hearing this, Xie Yuanwai finally believed Xu Zhixian's words, his eyes widened, and he was so angry that he fainted directly.

"Xiao Cui! Our family treats you well! Why don't you tell us about it! ”

Mrs. Xie, who saw Xie Yuan fainting outside, was crying and complaining, and at the same time beckoned someone to carry Xie Yuan out to find a doctor, which made Xie Fu, who had been quiet, suddenly noisy again.

However, Lu Xuan and Xu Zhixian took Xiaocui to a remote place and asked, "Why didn't you report to the official?" ”

"I don't dare, I'm afraid that no one will want me after reporting to the official, Miss doesn't want the old lady to worry and don't dare to report to the official, we cried for a long time, and then Miss lied to live in the ancestral house for a while, and when she returned to the house, she pretended to be like no one, but Miss often had nightmares at night, so she often asked me to sleep together, and then I thought this matter was over......"

The resentment and fear in Xiaocui's eyes all turned into despair at this time: "But that Liang Saburo didn't plan to let us go at all, as long as he had no money, he would take Miss's Luohong to find Miss, and forced Miss to serve him, Miss originally planned to fight with him, but I persuaded him to come down, because Liang Saburo found my father, and he said that if I didn't help him look at Miss, he would kill my father..... I'm afraid! Miss, I'm sorry for you! ”

"What's the matter with the sachet?"

"That Liang Saburo knew that persecuting Miss all the time would drive Miss crazy, so he learned from those literati to give women sachets, thinking that Miss could listen to him, but Miss hated him at all, and he would accept his things, he... He forced the young lady to eat it. ”

"Miss suffered a lot of humiliation, I wanted to die, but it happened that the family arranged for Miss to do family affairs, Miss thought that she would get rid of Liang Saburo in this way, so she endured it, but who knows... Woooooo ”

Xiao Cui's crying became louder and louder, crying was so heartbreaking, crying was such sadness, and the loss of concentration in her eyes due to the spell also woke up at this time, overflowing with remorse and sadness.

At this point, the matter is basically clear, Xu Zhixian, who is full of anger, no longer has the timid appearance he had when he saw Lu Xuan before, and directly shouted: "Come on, go to the east of the city to bring Liang Sanlang to me, and the official will try the case overnight!" Just go! Just go! ”

Seeing that the magistrate was so angry, the catchers present did not dare to hesitate at all, and ran towards the east of the city with a knife.

"Although the so-called Liang Sanlang broke Miss Xie's Yin Yuan, it doesn't sound like he is good at spells, and the person who caused Miss Xie's death is probably someone else."

Different from Xu Zhixian's anger, Lu Xuan's expression was always extremely calm, because he had seen too many tragedies and experienced too many tragedies, so this incident failed to make his heart ripple at all.

"My lord, if it is a dangerous skill, how long will it take to learn it?" Xu Zhixian asked,

Lu Xuan understood what he meant: "One year is enough." ”

"That's so." Xu Zhixian saluted Lu Xuan respectfully: "If the arresters are not in a good position, please also ask the adults to kill this bureaucracy!" ”

After a short period of thought, Lu Xuan nodded.

But the two of them waited in the Xie Mansion for a long time, but they saw a fast catcher running into the Xie Mansion in a hurry, kneeling down and saying, "Two adults!" Liang Saburo is dead! ”
