"The lower officials have come to ask your lord for guilt. ”

Sun Wenhan told Zhao Mingxuan from beginning to end about the case of many deaths in Shaozhou City turning into dried corpses, including the arrest of Ji Xiaoduo today. But he didn't mention the section where Ji Xiaoduo said Zhao Mingxuan's name, only that he was helpless and powerless about this strange case, so he came to ask for help and help.

It seems that he is a little incompetent to say this, but in fact, he is not much ashamed.

After all, how many people are there in the county government attached to Guozhou City? It is also a common practice for the county government to report to the county government if it cannot be resolved. really dragged out some serious consequences, and his county order was even more troublesome.

Let alone......

As soon as he came in, he saw that Zhao Mingxuan was indeed standing next to a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth.

Although he hadn't seen the powerful and fast boy in Wang Haikou's mouth with his own eyes, he was so beautiful that he was so "not human" that it was unlikely that there would be two or three in a day, right?

Sun Wenhan felt more and more that he had come to the wrong place.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't care about his careful thoughts, and after a little thought, he should come down, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

Zhao Mingxuan took people and went to Changkang County with Sun Wenhan.

Mo Li wanted to follow him, but Zhao Mingxuan remembered Master Guanghua's evaluation of him, but he was afraid that he would not dare to come out if he was there. promised him that he would definitely rescue his sister, and even coaxed Lao Xu to take the little fool back first.

As soon as he arrived at the county office, Sun Wenhan said, "Bring the suspect over now?"

"There's no hurry. Zhao Mingxuan waved his hand, Ji Xiaoduo had a secret guard on his side anyway, so she wouldn't really have an accident, "Let's go see the corpse first." ”

Sun Wenhan was a little surprised, but he wasn't sure what the relationship between him and that woman was, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he just asked people to quietly pass a word to the prison to be polite to the woman, and more importantly, stop the Chen family's people first, and then take Zhao Mingxuan to the mortuary.

Except for the beggar at the beginning, the other five corpses were here.

Before he walked to the door, Sun Wenhan's face turned a little pale, he never dared to come here, but Zhao Mingxuan came, and he had to be brave enough to follow behind.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't care about him, and stepped forward to check the corpse himself.

He looked very closely, and asked the servant next to him from time to time to say a few words.

He had never seen a corpse like this before.

If it weren't for the fact that there were family members and household registration to prove that these people were indeed young and strong men, Zhao Mingxuan would definitely think that they were old men who were about to die.

The corpse had no external injuries, and was described as withered, skinny and bone-covered, indeed very similar to the legendary appearance of the whole body being sucked dry.

On the contrary, it is more terrifying than the blur of flesh and blood on the battlefield.

Zhao Mingxuan's heart suddenly rose with a sense of fear.

If he hadn't found out early, Zhao Mingrong was afraid that he would have become like this.

What the hell did your brother provoke?

But except for Chen Kang, the sixth son of Chen, who is Zhao Mingrong's classmate, the others have nothing to do with the Zhao family, and they can't fight the eight poles.

So what exactly is the criterion for this ghost to choose its prey?

Zhao Mingxuan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where is the latest crime scene?"

"It's the Chen family, and the sixth son of Chen was killed in his own study. Sun Wenhan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and replied in a muffled voice.

Zhao Mingxuan glanced at him with disgust, "Then go to Chen's house." ”

Sun Wenhan was a little depressed, he didn't even dare to enter the mortuary in the county office, and he still had to go to the scene? What if he was haunted by a ghost?

Moreover, how did he think that Zhao Mingxuan seemed to be more interested in the case itself than the woman?

But Zhao Tingshi is going, what can he do?

Sun Wenhan could only comfort himself, Zhao Mingxuan was full of blood and energy, and it should be fine to follow him closely. If he could really solve the case earlier, it would be a good thing for him, so he went tremblingly.

The Chen family mourned.

Although the body has not been brought back yet, and the mourning hall has not been arranged, the subordinates have all dressed in filial piety, and Master Chen, who came to greet Zhao Mingxuan and others, is also dressed in plain clothes, and his eyes are red.

After saluting Zhao Mingxuan and Sun Wenhan, he burst into tears.

"The dog died too unjustly, and I beg the two adults to seek justice for him and avenge his grievances. ”

Next to him, the second master Chen helped his brother and asked, "I heard that the woman on the portrait has been caught?"

Sun Wenhan touched his beard and said, "Not bad." With the unremitting efforts of this official, she has been brought back to the county office. ”

Second Master Chen's face became a little strange.

Zhao Mingxuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's not ......" Second Master Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said, "When Chen Xing painted that portrait, I also took a look." At first, it felt familiar, but I didn't remember it. In the past two days, we have been offering a reward for finding someone...... Only...... Someone reminded me that the portrait ...... It's very much like the jade version of the famous prostitute of Baihualou. ”

The officials are all poor ghosts, and they can't see the famous prostitutes in Baihualou in their spare time, but the Chen family is rich and rich, and there are some unscrupulous people in their own family who love to look for flowers and ask willows, and among the people who have dealings in the business field, there are always a few who have seen the jade version.

They circulated the portraits, and some people recognized them.

"Oh?" Sun Wenhan sank his face, "Since you already have clues, why don't you inform this official?"

Instead, he kept making noise about him to solve the case and catch the murderer, which is simply unreasonable.

Second Master Chen's face was embarrassed, "It's really not that Xiaomin deliberately conceals the adult, but ...... This jade version of the girl...... She...... He died at the end of last month. Everybody knows that. ”

Sun Wenhan immediately shuddered.

Who is Wang Hai who caught him?

Or rather, what is it?

Zhao Mingxuan didn't want them to continue to discuss the issue of the jade version, so he said directly: "Let's take us to Chen Gongzi's study first." ”

The Chen family is rich, the house is very well repaired, the garden is also a lot of effort, and the scenery is quite good, but at this time, everyone is not in the mood to see the scenery, and they go to Chen Liugongzi's study.

The whole Chen family and the whole clan have high hopes for Chen Liugongzi, thinking that he can get a name for himself and change his court, and the place where he studies is also carefully selected, the scenery is not to mention, it is quiet, and no one will disturb him.

The layout in the study is very elegant, but it is also ordinary, with tables, chairs, coffee tables, and bookshelves, most of the reading families are like this.

There are also books spread out on the desk.

"Nothing has been touched here since that day. Master Chen explained, looking at his son's relics, he couldn't help but feel sad again, "The dog is honest, dedicated to learning, and willing to give to others without complaints, how can he ......"

As soon as Sun Wenhan entered the study, he felt a shade, obviously it was the weather in May, but he felt that his bones were cold, so he simply pretended to persuade Master Chen to mourn and not affect Lord Zhao's case.

Zhao Mingxuan didn't seem to be affected at all, and after turning around the study, his eyes stopped at a piece of paper that fell under the desk.

He bent down and picked it up.

The flower paper is elegantly made, and the handwriting is like a man's, chic and powerful.

Write a poem.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky. Zhao Mingxuan couldn't help frowning after reading two sentences.

This is the word written in the jade version.

Before Chen Liugongzi died, he was reading the words written in the jade version.

"Someone. Zhao Mingxuan shouted, "Go and check the four dead before, what does it have to do with the jade plate?
