When Xiao Yanzi heard this, he couldn't believe it.

Hongrui is a great god, and has black eyes, can see anyone's past, present, and future, how can he not even judge the identity of that round-faced old man? Could it be that the old man is a ghost who can't be a ghost anymore?

Xiao Yanzi didn't think that Hongrui would lie to him, because he and Hongrui were a community, and Hongrui had no need to lie to him at all.

He couldn't figure it out in every possible way, so he had to not think about it, so after burying Tong Guan's body indiscriminately, he planned to leave at night.

Although Tong Guan was not killed by him, but after all, he brought Tong Guan here, if someone investigates it, then he still can't get rid of the suspicion of murder, and it is most appropriate to leave.

He is walking very fast now, and if he doesn't rest on the road, he can rush back to Zhangjia Village before dawn.

As he drove through the city and walked forward, his legs did not obey him, and no matter how high his legs were, they were still in their original position when they landed, and he could not move half an inch forward.

He thought he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall here, so he resolutely walked back, preparing to take a detour to another road.

The way back was smooth and there were no hidden ties, but when I went around the other way out of the city, it was difficult to move forward again.

After repeated detours, the result was the same - as long as he left the city a certain distance, he could never move forward.

At this time, he realized that there seemed to be an invisible force in the darkness that prevented him from leaving the city, and that force wanted to confine him in the city for some reason.

During this period, he also asked Hongrui for help, but Hongrui said that there was nothing he could do. This kind of power is the same as that round-faced old man, which Hongrui can't deal with.

Entangled by a force that even the great gods can't deal with, Xiao Yanzi knows that she is in real trouble.

In desperation, he had no choice but to sit on a pile of hay by the city wall and spend the night haphazardly.

After dawn, he returned to the city, bought some food at a food stall, and ate slowly.

While eating, there were some other sharp people around him, some of whom were acquaintances with each other, and they sat opposite each other and talked while eating.

A drunken man said: "Brother, have you heard, last night in the middle of the night when the third watch, a corpse suddenly appeared at the entrance of the yamen in Dongcheng, and the two watchmen saw the corpse, and they were immediately startled, and hurriedly went to report it to the arresting room. The catchers on duty did not dare to slack off, rushed over to take a look, and recognized that it was Tong Guan, the son of Tong Wan, so they knocked on the door of the head catcher late at night to discuss the matter of catching the murderer by sea. ”

The thin man sitting opposite the big-faced man said in surprise: "Huh? Brother, how can such a thing be? What kind of character is that Tong Million, who would dare to attack his son-in-law in general? If it weren't for that, Tong Guan's house would not have been rampant to the point that everyone was afraid! Moreover, killing Tong Guan and placing Tong Guan's body at the entrance of the yamen is obviously a blatant provocation to the government, how many heads does the person who killed Tong Guan dare to do this? ”

The big-faced man responded: "Brother, we don't know how many heads he has, anyway, he is really bold enough." Whether it is the killing of Tong Guan or the public demonstration to the government, which of these two things, if you pick it out alone, ordinary people would not dare to do it, but that person did it! ”

As he spoke, he cocked his thumb.

The other people who were eating heard the conversation between the two and turned their heads to look at them, slowing down the pace of their meals, expecting to hear something more exciting.

The thin man said: "Brother, according to what you say, that person must be the enemy of the Tong family's father and son, killing Tong Guan but not killing Tong Million, it can be regarded as not doing too much, but what happened to him deliberately provoking the government?" Could it be that the government also has an enmity with him? ”

The big-faced man said: "The government has always worn a pair of pants with rich people like Tong Million, and since the person who killed Tong Guan has a grudge against the Tong family's father and son, he must even hold a grudge against the government, which is nothing to make a fuss about." To tell you the truth, that quick Xiaoliu is my cousin, according to him, that person's method of killing Tong Guan is very unique, neither with a knife nor with an axe, I don't know what to use, but he actually pierced a small hole in Tong Guan's body, and even the coroner didn't know what kind of murder weapon he used, which is really strange. ”

When the thin man heard this, he frowned and pondered, and said, "Brother, this is really strange, I have only tried everything to figure it out, but I haven't figured out anything famous. If you know where Tong Guan died, you may have some eyebrows. ”

"Hmph, that's a lot of work." The drunken-faced man responded, "The coroner inspected in the middle of the night, and he didn't find out where Tong Guan was killed, so he had to fill in the corpse grid with Huluti, which was reluctantly paid." ”

The two of them talked to each other as if no one was around, as if they didn't care about the person listening next to them.

After the others left, only the two of them and Xiaoyin were left at the food stall.

The big-faced man turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzi and said, "Boy, when the people who eat here hear me talking to my brother about Tong Guan's murder, there is no one who does not listen with their ears pricked up, and there is no one who is not shocked after listening to it, but you seem to be fine, what is going on?" At your age, you usually don't have such a lot of concentration, but you are not surprised at all, could it be that Tong Guan was killed by you? ”

When the little man heard this, he glanced at the big man with a big face, and then got up and left.

Hearing that Tong Guan was killed, of course he was not surprised, but he was surprised that Tong Guan's body actually appeared in front of the official office. He remembered very clearly that after Tong Guan was killed by the round-faced old man, he buried Tong Guan's body, although the burial was relatively sloppy, it was not so that his front feet just left Tong Guan's corpse and his back feet appeared in front of the door of the official office.

After thinking about it silently, he decided that it was the old man with the round face who was making trouble. That old man is so sneaky, it's actually normal to make such a ghost.

From this, he judged that it should be the sneaky old man who forcibly imprisoned him in the city. Moreover, the old man will definitely continue to fool around, as for how to fool, he can't judge in advance, and can only wait until the results of the trick are presented.

If it weren't for Hongrui saying that the old man didn't have any demonic energy, he was destined to think that the old man was the same party of the Yinshan Demon or Huanshan Demon who was destroyed by him.

So far, he still has a few enemies in the city, namely the ghost face Zhang father and son, Bu Xiang and other hexagram masters, and the thief Li Si, but to say that these people can invite a ghost old man who is even ashamed of Hongrui to avenge them, Xiao Yinzi will not believe it anyway.

The strangeness behind the ghost old man, he couldn't figure it out anyway, so he had to sigh.

He sighed here, and the officials related to the investigation of Tong Guan's death also sighed.

The first is a dry catch. These people are in charge of arresting the murderer, and if ordinary civilians are killed, whether they can arrest the murderer or not is not a big deal, and they can prevaricate by finding a reason. The problem is that the deceased is Tong Guan, the son of Tong Million, Tong Million's wealth is sky-high, and he has always kept up with officials from the city lord to the fast catcher and the forbidden son, and all the officials have received his benefits, if the fast arresters can't arrest the murderer as soon as possible, then they will not only face Tong Million's reprimand, but also the cold face of the boss and even the city lord.

At that time, it is still light for them to get some boards on their buttocks, and it is very likely that they will be dismissed and investigated.

However, in the face of such a clueless headless case, where do they go to arrest the murderer? You can't always investigate along the street, and when you meet someone, you can ask if they are murderers, right?

The second is the magistrate and his auxiliary officials who are responsible for investigating and handling cases. If there is a case, it must be investigated, this is their duty, and the basis for investigating and handling the case is the clues of the case, but judging from the current situation, in addition to relying on the arresters to find them, those clues can only be found from Tong Wanwan's family.

However, Tong Million is a person with a very high status, and it took a lot of money to find out the murderer of Tong Guan, and now, if the person investigating the case goes to touch Tong Million's family in turn, Tong Million is destined to be unhappy.

Because of this, the magistrate and his auxiliary officials were very anxious for a while, and everyone felt that they had no idea what to do.
