Ning Ling held Fengxiu's hand, and the two girls walked together and looked intimate, and they became a pair of best friends.

Only Ning Qing was on guard all the time, following Dongfang Chen's left and right.

The east is white, the sky is about to break, in a secluded place called Qingxi Town, there is a lonely black and thin young man, at this time he is picking up the white iron lantern released by the yamen, holding a black ring stick and preparing to go out.

The young man's surname is Yu, his father and mother died early, fortunately, the people of the town are simple, and the residents of the nearby town raise it in the way of 100 meters, which coincides with the local floods, and the fairy family on the mountain is in all directions.

The town is backed by a big mountain, but in a place with a big palm, there is really no surplus food to support the idlers, and the young man who has nothing to rely on grows up and stands out among the street gangsters with his strength, and becomes a doorman of the yamen early.

The so-called doorman is the personal entourage and helper of the yamen chief, although the status is humble, but it is still a beautiful difference compared to the outside staff.

Yu picked up the alley, passed by the tea stall on the street, put the guy aside, picked up a bowl of tea and poured it into his stomach.

"Hey, I said you're a kid, don't you just say hello?"

The old man lay on the bamboo chair behind the table, looked up at the former, stretched out three fingers, and said slowly: "The price has risen!" A bowl of sanmon. ”

"Old man Han, our distant relatives are not as good as our close neighbors, what do you say you want."

Yu Shi shrugged, took out two copper coins from his arms and slapped them on the table. There are only a few people like Old Man Han in the local area, and there is no son and half daughter, and he has to help during the New Year's holidays on weekdays.

Old man Han smoked a dry cigarette and lowered his eyelids slightly, "Yu boy, have you changed your career?" ”

Yu Shi nodded and replied: "There have been a lot of cases recently, and there are not enough people on top, so I am temporarily transferred to the fast shift." ”

The officials in the yamen are all ranked by class, and the people in the industry jokingly call them "one strong, two soaps, and three fast classes", the so-called strong class, which is the civilian hard labor temporarily summoned by the yamen, without wages, and is mainly responsible for chores on weekdays.

The soap squad is responsible for standing on the guard of honor for the chief, and acting as a prisoner when handling cases, helping to deter prisoners, this is the class where Yu Shi was originally located.

The last is the fast shift, this is the top of the yamen officials, and they belong to the group of people who are proud of the spring breeze.

The fast class is divided into horse fast and foot fast, and their tasks are to reconnoiter cases, catch thieves, patrol the streets and keep vigil, and can often collect some extra money.

Yu Shi didn't entangle with Old Man Han anymore, packed up his bags and walked quickly to the yamen.

As mentioned above, the town has not been peaceful recently, the son-in-law of the Xu family died violently in the night of the wedding cave, and the old lady of the Xu family was furious on the spot, angrily reprimanding the government for finding out the real culprit within three days.

It's been almost two days now, and there are still no clues above, but the people below have suffered, running day and night, tirelessly.

Yu picked up the door of the ya, and finally saw the fast shift team, a row of black walkers' makeup.

"I am humble, and I ask to join the team."

Li Yi followed the voice and couldn't help frowning, because he saw that Yu Shi was not wearing the uniform of the fast shift.

"New here, you guys go to the back."

Li Yi looked around and sorted out the team, this was the first time he had performed official duties since he was promoted, and naturally he didn't want anything to go wrong.

Yu Shi didn't say a word and went to the back, he knew Li Yi, who entered the position at the same time as himself, but he had a father who served as a fast class inspection, a seven-grade martial artist, who was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and had a very high vision.

Someone suddenly poked behind him, Yu Shi turned his head, only to see Liu Guang, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here too." ”

Liu Guang scratched his bald head, showed two teeth, and said, "Your first time working fast, you have to learn more and see more, there are many doorways here!" ”

Liu Guang is considered an old man in the yamen, an absolute old fritter, and he takes care of newcomers on weekdays, so he has an excellent relationship with everyone.

Liu Guang kindly reminded: "When you arrive at the Bai family in a while, keep your eyes tight, don't look around." ”

"The Bai family?"

Yu Shi was a little confused, shouldn't he go to Xu's house to investigate the case?

"You don't know?" Liu Guang was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "The third child of the Bai family died in the Drunken Immortal Building last night, and was found and reported this morning." ”

"This death is not ordinary, tsk... Tsk..."

Bai Laosan, Yu Shi has heard a little, he does some bullying men and women in the town on weekdays, and uses the shade left by his ancestors to do all kinds of evil, especially like to flirt with women from good families, and he is a well-known prodigal in the local area.

The Bai family lives in the east of the town, and after a white stone archway, everyone came to a simple courtyard, but the two stone lions in front of the door have fallen into disrepair.

The Bai family is also one of the best in the local area, but they didn't expect to be defeated by Bai Laosan like this, which really made everyone sigh for a while.

Everyone followed Wu Chang Li Yiyu into the White Mansion.

Yu Shi raised his eyes and looked around, and found that there were already many unrelated people gathered in the courtyard, no less than seven or eight people, old and young.

Just when Yu Shi was a little confused, a delicate cry suddenly came from the back room, and a lady with a beautiful face was helped out of it.

Then the corpse of Bai Laosan carried out by the family was placed in the yard, Li Yi lifted the cloth, and the scene under the corpse cloth frightened everyone.

Bai Laosan's entire face was torn off, there was no flesh on his chest, and there were faintly visible bone marks on his ribs.

"This ......"

All the officials gasped at the same time, this was the first time they had seen this tragic scene, and the others in the courtyard vomited on the spot.

Li Yi's face turned pale, and he turned to the group of people behind him and asked, "Let me ask you, what enemies does Master Bai usually have or people who have a holiday." ”

The man trembled and hurriedly shook his head: "The villain really doesn't know." ”

Liu Guangtan leaned forward and said to Yu Shi with some disdain: "Our top boss doesn't know how to investigate the case at all, so let's hurry up and see if there are any other clues." ”

Li Yi beckoned everyone into the room and asked for records one by one, seemingly focusing on the witnesses.

Liu Guang took Yu to pick up a few new young people to look at the corpse.

"Analysis of wound traces, similar to the bite of a ferocious beast"

"The wound under the deceased's leg has not yet scabbed and dried, and the preliminary investigation should have been dead for less than half a day."

Liu Guang made a few strokes of understatement, and then finished commenting on the corpse, and then his eyes looked at Madame Bai from time to time.

The attendant hurriedly picked up: "Master, I understand, I don't rule out the possibility of his wife being killed." ”

"Hey, I said you can't open your dog's head!"

Liu Guang slapped the back of the head of the person who spoke, with an expression of hatred: "It's a pity that such a good-looking little lady is such a pity." ”

"I don't know how much better than the three indiscriminate goods in the places like Goolun."

Liu Guang licked his mouth, unconsciously put his hand into his trouser pocket, and habitually pulled out his crotch.

Yu Shi always felt that something was wrong, and whispered: "There is a smell of incense and candles on his body." ”

Others may not be able to smell it, but he is different.

When Yu Shi was young, as soon as his parents died, the family house was taken away by a distant uncle, and he was kicked out of the house alone. It snowed heavily that year, and most of the people in the town had no surplus food, so they didn't dare to take him in, so he lived alone in the dilapidated City God Temple, which lasted for five years, and he was familiar with the taste of the temple.

Yu Shi inadvertently looked up and saw some people standing inside and outside the door, most of them were relatives and relatives of the Bai family.

Among these people, some are disappointed, some are sarcastic, some are idle, some have playful expressions, as if the dead have nothing to do with them.

At this time, two Taoist priests dressed in tattered clothes and hungry faces, one big and one small, broke into the door.

"There is evil, and the town does not respect the gods, so the heavens send disasters."

"You let me go."

“……”

The Taoist priest shouted as he tried to break free from the shackles of the officials.

The Taoist priest was detained in the corner of the wall by two powerful officials, unable to move.

However, without waiting for Li Yi to ask, the Taoist priest had already taken the initiative to explain: "Xiaodao, I came from other places, passed by the town, and found that this place was full of blood, someone must have offended the gods and caused such a disaster!" ”

Yu Shi suddenly.

The old Taoist priest was saying that the recent violent death of the groom of the Xu family and the incident of Bai Laosan were all related, and they were maliciously punished by God.

This statement is somewhat implausible, and the identity of this veteran is questionable in itself.

Li Yi stepped forward and asked, "In your opinion, how should this case be concluded?" ”

Lao Dao shook his head and looked back at his apprentice, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hehe, the swagger and deception have all found me."

Li Yi showed a playful smile on his face: "In this case, the people who came to put them in prison on the grounds of obstructing official business, and they must not be released without my order." ”

"Don't! My lord. ”

The old Taoist priest was dragged out, wailing and trying to quibble, but where was he the opponent of the strong and strong servant, and after a while he was silent.

Everyone looked at each other, although the old Taoist priest appeared very abruptly, but the idea put forward was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after all, the ghost and god thing had to be taken seriously.

"Before the scene is cordoned off, no one is allowed to leave without permission except for the case-handling personnel."

Li Yi waved his hand, swore his command, and hurriedly left the scene.

This is one of the unspoken rules of fast shift case handling, and the investigation of such a cumbersome matter does not require the chief to go out in person, and at this time it is left to the people below to be busy, and wait until clues appear to report to the chief in a unified manner.

If nothing else, Li Yi is already on the way straight to Goolan to listen to the play and watch Keju, and everyone knows it.

Everyone usually has a division of labor, interrogating the people around Bai Laosan, returning to the scene of the crime, and recording the death......

"Brother Liu, a large number of mud marks were found on the soles of the deceased's feet."

Someone hurriedly came to report that due to the departure of Li Yi, the apparent top boss, the command here was unknowingly in the hands of Liu Guang, the most senior.

Liu Guang took Yu Shi and the others back to the same place, and saw that Bai Laosan's corpse was indeed stained with a lot of yellow mud on his feet, and his color was dull.

"It's river mud."

Liu Guang pointed out the problem sharply, and everyone cast admiring glances.

It seems that the deceased walked by the river before he died, but the servants around Liu Laosan did not say anything about it, could it be that he ran there alone?

As the saying goes: When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Yu Shi also felt strange, there was only one river in this town, called the Liusha River in the south, and the last stream flowed into Zhoucheng
