Sun Wenhan, the county magistrate, is forty-one years old this year, with three long beards and a dignified appearance. Speaking of which, as an official, he is now in the prime of life, but he is a little depressed.

He didn't know that in the world of Ji Xiaoduo's previous life, there was a saying called "If you were not good in your previous life, you will know the county in this life, if you do evil in your previous life, you will know that the county will be attached to Guo, and if you are full of evil, you will be attached to Guo Provincial City." But his mood was the same.

Ten years of cold windows, several years of imperial examinations, all kinds of hardships have been exhausted, and it is not easy to find a real shortage, but in this state capital.

The official office of the top boss is not two miles away from him, and his every move is under the nose of the boss, he said that he is the chief official of a county, but what can he do?

Besides, who in this city is a high-ranking official and nobleman who has no relatives? He is a seven-grade small county order, who dare to offend?

is usually constrained by layers of mother-in-law, but if something really happens, it is his pot.

What does it mean for him to be an official?

Sun Wenhan had already found someone to do the work, and he just waited for the expiration of this term to find another job.

Seeing that there is only half a year left, this strange case has happened.

His hair turned gray.

The first one who died was a beggar.

At that time, no one cared.

Beggars, starvation and death of illness are common. The county government also arranged for someone to drag the body to a mass grave outside the city and throw it away.

But then one after another began to die.

It's not just beggars, it's all kinds of people who make a living.

They all died in their own homes, not sick or in pain, no outsiders came to the door, no one heard the fight, they were fine one day, but the next morning they were corpses.

Moreover, the originally young and strong man was described as withered, skinny, and like an old man when he died, but he did not have any external injuries, and even had a satisfied smile on his face. It looks weird and scary.

Even the pretence of seeing corpses trembled with fright.

Therefore, the officials privately rumored that it was a terrible ghost asking for their lives.

Sun Wenhan himself thinks so.

But...... Can this reason be used to close the case? Can the boss believe it?

The victim's family can't accept it.

The first few are okay, and the small ones can't make many waves, but the latest one to die is the son of the Chen family.

The Chen family has been a businessman for generations, rich and rivals the country, but it is a pity that there are several generations up and down, and there is a seed of Chen Liugongzi's study, when he was admitted to Hongwen Academy, the Chen family also put on a three-day flowing water seat, and I hope that he can change the door for the Chen family after the title of the gold list.

Now I don't know if I died in vain.

It's strange that the Chen family doesn't make trouble, right?

But if he wants to explain to the old man of the Chen family, that Gongzi provoked a ghost, he can't control this matter?

Are you afraid that the Chen family will not be able to find a complaint in Beijing on the road?

Even if he doesn't go to Beijing, a complaint in front of the assassin is enough for him to drink a pot.

Therefore, he could only attack the official who handled the case in front of the Chen family, and promised to solve the case as soon as possible.

But how to solve this case, he really has no clue.

Although a small servant in the Chen family said that when he got up in the middle of the night, he saw that the lights were still on in the study of the sixth son, and when he took a look, he found that there was a beauty with the sixth son, and he drew a portrait from memory. Sun Wenhan also ordered the officials to search the whole city, but in fact he did not have much hope.

I don't know how many wanted portraits he handles every year, but just by that, how many people can really catch people?

What's more, it could be a ghost?

As a result, when Wang Hai, the leader of the fast arresting team, came to report that he had caught the person on the portrait, Sun Wenhan was startled, "How did you catch it?"

"That's a coincidence. Wang Hai said, "Didn't Li An be beaten yesterday, I asked the two brothers to send him back." As a result, near Li An's house, I saw a woman, who seemed to be a bit like what Chen Xing said. But they didn't have any portraits with them, so they came back and talked to me. This morning I gathered my brothers and searched over there, and sure enough, I found such a woman. I compared the portraits, and they are indeed very similar. So I brought her back. ”

"Just bring her back......," Sun Wenhan repeated sneeringly, and then asked, "Is she a human? Not a ghost? No one was sucked into a dry corpse when you arrested her?"

"No, I don't. She didn't do anything, and volunteered to come back with us. Wang Hai was a little hesitant when he asked this, "In broad daylight, when she was arrested, she was still shopping and drinking tea, shouldn't she be a ghost?" And it was so powerful that it jumped out of the window and disappeared. ”

It's not a ghost, it's a demon?

Sun Wenhan couldn't help but shudder, "The people around her have run away, why does she want to come back with you?"

"She insisted that she was innocent and did not kill anyone. Those lives have nothing to do with her. Wang Hai thought for a while, and then lowered his voice and said, "I heard her ask the young man to find Zhao Mingxuan before, I didn't know which three words it was at first, but I thought about it along the way...... Will it be ......?"

He paused, stretched out his hand and pointed to the state office, "The name of Lord Shi?"

Isn't it?

Sun Wenhan frowned, although the woman didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, but she called Lord Assassin Shi by her name, and voluntarily came back with the officials, whether it really had nothing to do with this matter, it was obviously something to rely on, but she didn't know what it was?

Sun Wenhan thought about it for a while, and said: "First put her in prison, send someone to notify the Chen family to recognize the person, and then send someone who is clever to inform Master Shi of the assassination and find out his tone...... Forget it, I'll go myself. ”

Wang Hai blinked, "This hasn't been tried yet, isn't it good to be imprisoned first?"

Sun Wenhan said angrily: "What kind of trial, wait until I come back." ”

According to his thoughts, of course, he can't wait to let the offender sign and close the case immediately, after all, the Chen family urges it every day. But if the woman bites to death and refuses to admit it, does he want to torture her? Then what does she really have to do with Lord Zhao?

But if he is too polite to her, it will not be easy to confess, after all, even if he is not a prisoner, he is still a suspect, right?

Therefore, what annoys him the most is this splint gas on both sides.

Just shut it up for a while and wait for the question to understand Lord Zhao's attitude.

Of course, Sun Wenhan won't admit it, in fact, he is still a little afraid that this woman is really not human.

The main thing is to arrest her, and it's too much of a coincidence.

Just a person testified that he saw such a woman, and the officials happened to find her?

And she voluntarily surrendered without resisting?

It's weird to think about, isn't it?

What if she took the initiative to come to the county office just to get close to him, and when he went to interrogate, she suddenly attacked him and turned him into a dry corpse?

He was busy looking for Zhao Mingxuan, firstly to find out the news, and secondly, to invite him to strengthen his courage.

That Zhao Mingxuan is said to have been promoted because of his military merits, his martial arts are outstanding, and he is a person who is in the army, and he is full of evil spirits, and he doesn't dare to make trouble in front of him if he wants to be a demon.

If Zhao Mingxuan doesn't care...... That's simple, he just handed it over to the Chen family directly.

He wouldn't have taken any risks himself, anyway.

Of course, Wang Hai didn't understand the psychological activities of the county magistrate, but when he said that, he could only respond as a subordinate, and turned around to leave, but Sun Wenhan stopped him again, "Explain to the cell boss, get her a private room first, don't use means, everything will wait for me to come back." ”

Wang Hai responded again and retreated to make arrangements.
