10. There is a cause for life and a fruit

These people who came to see the list posted by the county order ☯ of "Bafang City", although they don't know much about martial arts, they still have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes. So after seeing so many dried corpses and hearing the description of the prefectural order, I put forward my opinion.

Wu Shi Jia said: "My lord, this is obvious, someone wants to test the poison with the hundreds ☯ of surnames in the city, but I don't know if it is because of the medicinal power, or if the poison research has not been completed." They are not allowed to release poison on a large scale, and the poisoners do not seem to die immediately. ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard that there was a door, he immediately asked, "This chivalrous man, how can you be sure that this poison did not die immediately?"

Wu Shijia: "My lord, the corpses in front of me were all placed around the city gate this morning, but according to my lordship, they had already left half a month ago. If they had already been poisoned, why didn't they send the bodies to the city gate earlier, so many corpses were put together, wouldn't they be afraid of being discovered?"

Wu Shi Yi continued: "If it is said that these corpses were piled up at the city gate, it was to demonstrate ☯ to us and not let us care about this matter, and they were deliberately placed at the city gate on the same day. So, why were the bodies of the deceased in the first two cases not processed. It must have been them who had poisoned the deceased and observed the deceased's physical ☯ reactions. By the time the deceased was really dead, they would want to dispose of the corpse again, and it was already dawn. In order to prevent the grave keepers from discovering it, they had to abandon the corpses in the wilderness. ”

"Wait, something isn't right. Another martial artist interrupted their analysis.

"What's wrong?" the prefectural commander hurriedly asked.

"If they want to find someone to ☯ test the poison, they must find a secret dwelling where absolutely no one disturbs. Because the deceased did not die immediately after being poisoned, he must have struggled in agony, and when the time came, it would have alarmed the people around him. And the poisoner can catch so many people, why not poison the old couple who are watching the grave, and let them report the crime?"

The county magistrate is not stupid, obviously already understands what the other party means, and said: "The chivalrous man means that the old man and lady of the Zhang family who are watching the grave are the real ☯ murderers. If they report the crime, no one will suspect them. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. ”

"The hero is also thoughtful, so I will send someone to arrest the old couple who poisoned ☯ people. ”

"Your Excellency. Seeing that some people had already been appreciated by the county order, the others also felt that they should show it, so they hurriedly spoke: "Since the old couple can catch so many people and test the poison, they must have some work in their hands." I'm afraid that the person sent by the Lord may not be their opponent, so it is better for me to go down and arrest them myself. ”

"Hmm. Zhixian touched his beard and said: "If the hero goes in person, it is not a matter of being caught." However, heroes, if those two people are stubbornly resistant, then then they will be corrected ☯ on the spot, and it will be okay. ”

This sentence means that the county order has been delegated to you.

But from a personal point of view, grasping alive is more able to show one's ability.

When the old husband ☯ and wife of the Zhang family were caught in the court, everyone didn't expect it to be so easy. But their refusal to admit ☯ their guilt was to be expected.

However, in order not to delay the matter and avoid being noticed by the higher-ranking officials ☯, the county order immediately executed the two on the grounds that the evidence was conclusive and there was no need for a retrial.

Seeing the two of them constantly shouting ☯ that they were wronged before they were killed, some people felt unbearable; some people felt that the old husband ☯ and wife were so vicious ☯ that they were innocent of death; but more people did not think that they were the murderers, but subconsciously hoped that as soon as the two died, the matter would be over.

Two innocent people were killed, but unfortunately the matter was not over.

The next day, another person died, and the body was found in a mass grave, withered, just like the previous dead.

The county magistrate hurriedly summoned everyone and asked with displeasure: "Ladies and gentlemen, the theories you analyzed yesterday are more accurate than one another, and I also followed your advice and beheaded the old couple. But why, people are still dying today?"

"My lord, that old couple has no martial arts, even if they can make such a terrifying poison, they are not capable of subduing ☯ those people and poisoning them again. He must have accomplices, a few of us brothers, who will go to the mass grave tonight ☯ to guard and capture the criminals in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, I wish you success. ”

Although the county commander's face has softened a little at this time, it is not the kind and pleasant face of the previous two days, Corporal Lixian. Everyone understands that such people are only using ☯ their own power.

But they can't do it if they already eat ☯ and drink other people's food, and then pat their butts ☯ and leave.

Even if you really leave and offend this kind of rich official, your life will be even more difficult in the future.

Since the other party is using ☯ your abilities, why don't you use the other person as a springboard? Since there is a springboard under your feet, you can only be seen by people at a higher level if you jump hard ☯.

This adult may not know how to appreciate talents, but only good performance can make a name for himself in this city. And only when you have a reputation in the city and become the talk of others after dinner, can you be known by the merchants from all over the world who pass through this place, and be appreciated by the more knowledgeable people.

Originally, if this matter ended so simply, these people were afraid that they would become a diner in the adult's mansion, and it would be difficult for them to be reused in the future.

But this matter is not over, I still have a chance, as long as I can solve this strange case, I can stand out among the crowd.

So, everyone wanted to seize this opportunity and asked to go to the vigil. In the end, there was no choice but to draw lots.

Luck or misfortune is never decided by oneself without any means.

Some people used some tricks, and he drew lots, so he was lucky. Those who didn't draw it, didn't have the opportunity to perform, naturally belonged to misfortune. They had to stay in their lodgings, waiting for others to gain fame and fortune.

Since people can choose between luck and misfortune, then on the other hand, whether luck or not, can also be chosen. Those who win the lottery may not be lucky, and those who fail to win the lottery may not be unlucky.

When they saw that the people who won the lottery yesterday and vowed to bring to justice the murderers who poisoned ☯ innocent people ☯, now they have also become part of the dry corpse, these people can no longer find a reason.

They really don't have much ability, and the murderer is not something they can deal with.

These people wanted to resign, but because of the problem of face, no one wanted to be the first to speak. So they were waiting, waiting for the county order to get ☯ angry and drive them away. At the same time, they are also waiting for other martial artists to come to Bafang City, maybe they have a way to deal with the murderer.

The county order didn't say anything to them, not even to speak.

The county magistrate does not know how far the situation will develop, but if there are not enough people refining poison and testing medicines, will the other party come to the city to arrest people? Will they catch themselves? With the protection of these people in the rivers and lakes, will they be safer?

There was no way to think about these problems, he could only give orders, and he kept ordering. These disciples and officials were divided into two groups and protected him day and night. Martial law ☯ was imposed throughout the city, and no one was allowed to leave the city until the ban was lifted. In addition, this matter should not be concealed and should be reported immediately.

Although the above will definitely deal with him, as long as it costs a little more money. But if you stay here without reinforcements, sooner or later you will become a dried corpse.

After these orders were issued, the county order hid in the house ☯ and did not come out, and others had to taste the food and water first, and then use it themselves when it was fine. At night, these Jianghu guests are guarded outside.

In this way, this day and night, the county order was fine. Still, something happened. The errand officer who went out to report the news became a dry corpse and was thrown at the mouth of the county office.

As a result, the city became a dead city, and no one dared to go out even in broad daylight.

In contrast, it is the gate of the city, but people come every day, because the list of recruiting talents has already had an effect, and those who are not very capable, but want to do something, have come one after another.

As a result, there were more and more dried corpses, and they had to be disposed of.

In order to set up a monument for these people, the county order specially asked the master to set up a platform under the city gate to record the names of the martial arts people ☯ who came to them. In this way, even if he dies at that time, he will have a name, and he will not be a lonely ghost.

Although many people died in the city, no one could spread the news, so there has been no official appearance.

But there is no impermeable wall, and the matter still spreads to the rivers and lakes, but there is not so much movement. Because there are two things that catch most people's eyes. One was that the candidate for the leader of the martial arts league was killed, and the other was that Wang Yangming, a loyal minister of the court, was demoted and exiled.

The candidate was killed, making the martial arts decent keep tracking down the murderer. Wang Yangming's demotion and exile made the evil martial arts and the elites of the Six Gates constantly fight wits and courage.

Even if he heard the news and came, there were people with sects, but they only sent some small people, just to improve the prestige of writing, and they didn't take him seriously at all.

Only the hundreds ☯ of surnames in the city have always thought that it was a monster.

On April 29, Wu Bin came to Bafang City and woke up the next day.

If Wu Bin had already gotten up in normal times, he would never have woken up until now.

First, after so many days of travel, eating and sleeping in the open air, people are really tired. Second, he kept thinking about what Xiao Er said to him last night, so he slept a little late.

After learning about what happened in the city, Wu Bin felt that it was related to what he encountered not long ago. After all, not so long ago he saw a big living person who turned into a "zombie" and then a dried corpse.

Will the things in this city also have something to do with them?

After getting up, Wu Bin was ready to ask Xiao Er to fetch some water to wash. But when I opened the door, I found that there was no one in the hall, but outside, there were many voices of people talking. It seemed that something must have happened ☯ ☯, and when he thought of this, he immediately went downstairs to watch.

Before he came to the gate, he heard someone say: "This must not be man-made, how can people turn people into dried corpses, this must be done by the spirits in the mountains." I've been roising the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I've never heard of any poison that can turn people into dried corpses overnight. ”

It seems that this poison has improved again. Wu Bin thought in his heart, at least listening to what Xiao Er said, the poison at that time could not quickly turn people into dried corpses.

As soon as the man's words were finished, he heard a person say disdainfully: "It's just you, you are still crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, don't laugh, the Rampaging Casino is almost the same." ”

"Yes, yes. Someone next to him immediately responded: "Yes, walk into the casino vertically and be carried out horizontally." ”

This remark caused everyone to laugh loudly and eased the tense atmosphere just now.

But the person who was said turned red with anger: "You...... You say, 'How is this going to be?"

The other party smiled and said, "Say that in addition to gambling money, what else will you do? Let me tell you, there is an idiom called 'please enter the urn'." It was a punishment in the Tang Dynasty, which was to put people in urns and burn them with fire underneath. If the prisoner can't ☯ stand ☯ it anymore ☯, he will confess. I think that the murderer ☯ must have turned people into dried corpses in this way. If this speculation is correct, then the murderer must be an extremely murderous ☯ pervert ☯, and he does not kill ☯ people for any purpose of refining poison at all, but simply for fun. ”

After saying this, no one refuted it for a while. Because such an analysis is really convincing. And when encountering such a murderer, everyone has a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, only one voice was heard saying, "No, the murderer did not use this method to turn the deceased into a dry corpse. ”

While speaking, Wu Bin had already squeezed into the crowd and found that the person who spoke was one of the two people he had focused on yesterday - the master who had reached the True Power Automatic Body Protection and did not need to actively cast or stab ☯ with external force.

As soon as this man said this, the self-righteous and honest man who had analyzed the Tao just now was immediately displeased, and asked rhetorically: "You say that they did not roast people dry with a big urn, what evidence do you have? Of course, if you had been there, you could have explained why they had become dried corpses. ”

This time, on the contrary, the master was stiffened, because if he couldn't say a reason, he would beat himself in the mouth. If he can tell the truth, it proves that he has something to do with these murders.

But when the man heard these words, he was not angry, but said in his chest: "You said that these people were roasted alive in a big urn, then the fire must have been very big at that time, so that people can be roasted into ☯ dry people." But under such circumstances, why is his hair and clothes not roasted by the fire?"

Yes, the two bodies had some messy ☯ hair, but they weren't scorched by fire. The clothes on the body were not burned due to the high temperature.

"That'...... That's because the murderer took off their clothes and put them in urns, covered them with lids, and roasted them outside with a fire. ”

The man listened, smiled, and said, "I said it in such detail, I began to wonder if you were also among the murderers at that time?"

"You...... You ......"

The man didn't care about the other party's reaction, but analyzed it himself: "The water on these corpses has been lost, and the muscles and skin have stiffened. Dressing the corpse in such a situation will inevitably damage the integrity of the corpse. Looking at all the dried corpses, there were no signs of cracking the skin due to joint rotation.

And since the murderer had already taken off their clothes, why did he put them on again? Could it be that he did not want the dead to be exposed. Again, the deceased is put into an urn, and must not be able to stretch his limbs. But if you look at these two bodies, they ☯ are lying flat, with straight hands and feet, and they don't look bent at all. Therefore, the method you mentioned to invite you into the urn is not very likely. ”

"Then you say, how did the other party turn them into dried corpses? ”

"I just judged from the situation at the scene that they were not roasted by ☯ the fire, and I did not say that I already knew the reason why they became like this. Of course, it's okay if you want to prove that you're right, as long as you find a reason to convince people. Or you can find evidence, such as the big urn that roasted people, and the fire pit where the murderer burned ☯ people. ”

"Choking", the man still pulled out ☯ the knife at his waist because he couldn't say it, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

Everyone originally watched it as a joke, but when they saw that they really started it, they stepped forward to understand it all.

Your own strength is not as good as your opponent's, don't fight with the opponent yet, let's fight in the nest first.

While everyone was arguing and persuading, a voice came into everyone's ears: "These two people are indeed not roasted into ☯ human ......"
