The east of the city is the richest place in Jianyang City, and the rich families basically live in the east of the city, clean and tidy, clean and rich, and there are more security guarantees, and there are even county soldiers patrolling nearby.

Normally, the catchers are reluctant to go to Anshun Fang to patrol.

Because no one knows when they will collide with nobles.

Maybe a nobleman's word of "bad luck" will make the catchers suffer a catastrophe.

But now.

Xu Taiping led the catcher to rush into Anshun Fang in one go.

When I arrived at Wang Minghu's outer house.

Only one young catcher was left with him, and the rest were all left behind.

Xu Taiping took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

That's when there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock—"

No response.

Knock again.

Still no movement.

Finished!

It's a step too late!

Xu Taiping's mood was instantly heavy.

Take two steps back and rush towards the thick gate.

Full impact.

"Bang-"

The deadbolt is broken.

The eye is drawn into a small and delicate courtyard with rockeries and flower ponds.

But.

The elegant and exquisite small courtyard has been turned into a Shura field.

Two maids and a mother-in-law lay on the stone-paved ground, blood flowing into a small lake, still slowly spreading outward.

Postures vary.

The only thing they had in common was the expression of extreme horror on his face, and the fact that his chest had collapsed, revealing a deep hole in blood.

Was gouged out of the heart.

The murderer's modus operandi is completely consistent with Wang Minghu.

Grass!

Xu Taiping burst into a foul mouth, took out a spoon, and blew it.

"Toot-"

A shrill whistle sounded through the sky.

The county soldiers patrolling nearby immediately changed their faces and rushed to the scene.

The patrols farther away were equally slow.

Soon.

The county ordered Zhou Yucheng, the master Xu Qing, and the county lieutenant Yang Jintang to arrive.

Looking at the tragedy in the courtyard, he was silent.

Long.

Zhou Yucheng looked at Xu Qing, his face was expressionless, and his expression was cold: "This case is beyond your ability, and the rest will be handed over to this official." ”

Xu Taiping was suspicious.

But without hesitation, he bowed his hand: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Zhou Yucheng waved his hand.

Xu Taiping turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.

Out.

also breathed a sigh of relief and patted Wu Liuyi on the shoulder: "The county lord will definitely be able to bring the murderer to justice, just sit back and wait for the good news." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and led the patrol to maintain order.

But.

How easy the surface is.

How aggrieved I feel in my heart.

In this case, the murderer is clear.

There is no evidence, but speculation.

However, he just knew that the murderer must be the monster disguised as Wang Minghu's wife.

It was the monster that killed Wang Minghu.

It was also the monster who killed Wang Minghu's concubine and two maids and a mother-in-law.

Although I don't know what the situation is between Wang Minghu and the monster.

But the murderer can't be wrong.

All kinds of details are right.

In particular, the killing method is completely in line with the habits of the monsters.

Simple.

Brusque.

Not refined enough.

Undisguised.

But extremely efficient.

It's also extremely cruel.

But!

The county commander Zhou Yucheng let me go!

Stop me from continuing to investigate!

Could it be that the prefectural order is also involved with that monster?

Xu Taiping was so frightened by his speculation that his hair stood on end.

No!

No way!

Although the grade of the county order is not high, it is known as a seven-grade sesame official, but the real social status is by no means ambiguous.

He is a magistrate on the ruling side.

He is at least a Confucian and Taoist monk who has entered the realm of scholars.

There is really no reason for such a person to do such a great rebellious thing.

Xu Taiping comforted himself like this.

But.

Thinking of Xu Qing's sudden change of attitude yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

No way!

This case can't just be abandoned.

In order to live.

is also for the vest embroidered with the word "catch" on the body.

It is also for the development of solving cases.

Must be involved.

Moreover...... Solve a case!

Xu Taiping took a deep breath.

Force yourself to calm down and think carefully about what to do.

Think about it.

There is only one way - to capture and even kill that monster with the power of thunder, first cut and then play, and make this case an iron case!

Xu Taiping returned to the fast catching class.

Sitting in the Taishi chair, resting his legs on the table, half-lying, letting the warm sun shine on his face, warm.

The brain is running at high speed, deducing the plan of action.

It's almost noon.

Wu Liuyi approached Xu Taiping: "Master Xu, Wang Gang asks to see you." ”

"Let him in."

"Okay."

Xu Taiping knocked on the table at Zheng Bowen again: "Make tea." ”

Zheng Bowen is a young catcher who ran with him all the way from the south of the city to the east of the city, just 16 years old, and he joined the company half a year ago.

The young man has a delicate face, is silent, and blushes when he talks to people.

But the physical fitness is good.

Running all the way today also proves it.

So.

and accepted Zheng Bowen as a new dog's leg.

Then.

Wang Gang trotted into the door under the leadership of Wu Liuyi: "Little Wang Gang has seen Xu Ye. ”

Xu Taiping pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit." ”

"Hey, thank you Xu Ye," Wang Gang thanked him, took out two land deeds from his cuffs, and held them in front of Xu Qing: "Xu Ye, this is what the villain promised yesterday, you can take a look." ”

Xu Taiping didn't even look at it.

Instead, wave your hand.

Wu Liuyi and Zheng Bowen immediately understood, and left quickly with the crowd.

The huge courtyard was instantly silent.

Seeing this, Wang Gang writhed a few times uneasily, his expression slightly nervous: "Master Xu, ...... are you?"

"Ask you something."

"You ask, you ask."

"How much do you know about Wang Minghu?"

When Wang Gang heard this, his face was embarrassed: "This ......"

Xu Taiping said lightly: "You don't have to say it." ”

Wang Gang immediately shook his head: "The villain said, said, that is, I don't know where to start." ”

"His mother."

"Huh?"

"Questions?"

Wang Gang shook his head: "I and Wang Minghu are still uncles and nephews, but we have long been out of the five suits, and we didn't have any contact with each other before, until he became a head catcher, there were a little more, and it was only four or five years, but it was only a correspondence between me and him, and I didn't see his wife, just ......"

Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows: "Just what?" ”

"It's just that I have heard that Wang Minghu treats his wife very filially, but after contact, he found that it was diametrically opposed to the rumors, and when he talked about his mother several times, he either showed displeasure, or was irritable, or even angry."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly: "When did it start?" ”

"It seems like it was four or five years ago."

"Four or five years ago? What happened to him during that time period? ”

"I entered the martial arts, became a fast catcher, and then made a fortune, saving a lot of money in four or five years."

Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes: "Who is his master or master?" ”

Wang Gang shook his head: "I really don't know about this, and there are no rumors about this." ”

Xu Taiping suddenly asked: "County master, what year did you take office?" ”

Wang Gang replied without thinking about it this time: "Five years ago, on the twelfth day of July in the twenty-second year of Xuanning, the little one even went outside the city to greet him. ”

Xu Taiping was terrified.

This timing is too coincidental.

The prefectural magistrate took office.

Wang Minghu became a martial artist and became a head catcher, and at the same time, his attitude towards his wife changed 180 degrees.

Plus what happened in the past two days.

It is too far-fetched to explain it by coincidence.

Instinctively, he really didn't believe that the county commander Zhou Yucheng would be involved in these things.

But reason told him that everything was confirming my speculation.

But.

Zhou Yucheng is the county magistrate.

He is a master of the Jinshi realm.

I'm not an opponent!

Now I, a hundred of them together can't beat Zhou Yucheng.

can't have a head-on confrontation with Zhou Yucheng.

But we can't stop there.

I can't afford to lose my position as a headhunter.

I'm going to continue to solve cases.

So.

Every action from now on must be carefully considered.

It is necessary to grasp the scale.

To solve the case.

But there can be no head-on conflict with Zhou Yucheng.

It's hard.

But not cowardly.

Be bold when danger is coming!

Take that monster and sacrifice the flag!

In Xu Taiping's heart, there is infinite killing intent churning!
