What he saw after opening the baggage made Lin Zhutou's pupils shrink, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him.

Holding a fire fold in his left hand, he shook off the black night clothes with his right hand, judging from the size of the clothes, it could never be the grocery store shopkeeper, but it was somewhat similar to the murderer he met during the day.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the blood stains on the night clothes on the chest, only a few sporadic points, which did not look obvious.

Suddenly came to mind, the figure of the murderer, in the apricot house, quietly approached the rich businessman lying on the bed, digging into his heart with one hand, dodging the scene of being a little slower, and blood was splashed on his chest.

Then he shook off his night clothes completely, and heard a few crisp sounds, and Lin Zhutou looked at the floor.

It turned out that the five iron fingers were scattered on the ground, bending down and picking them up one by one, there was still a trace of blood on the fingertips, and the blood stains were lined with cold light under the firelight, adding a bit more fierce.

Lin Zhutou suddenly realized in his heart, it turned out that this wing's martial arts were not so powerful, and the murder was still done with the help of murder weapons, and these five iron fingers were evidence.

This explains why the murderer is not as clean as the first two cases when he is killing quickly, the heart is not completely empty, and the flesh and blood on the back are still left, so it turns out that the weapon of the crime is hidden here.

Lin Zhutou thought in his heart, but he remembered the tragic death of Ji Cheng on the second floor, and his heart ached faintly, if he was in a different place with Ji Cheng at that time, if he was a few points faster......

It was when his thoughts were wandering and his heart was painful, Lin Zhutou, who was facing away from the door, didn't notice that someone outside the house was quietly approaching.

The man saw the wide open door at a glance, and his face flickered, and finally turned to ruthlessness, and he reached into his arms and quietly took out a dagger.

Slowing his footsteps, he slowly approached, crossed the threshold and walked into the house, raised the dagger in his hand high, and stabbed it towards Lin Zhutou's vest with a hard force.

......

Just after Liu Yuan calmed down his breath and explained the situation to Deng Fei, Deng Fei was puzzled at first, and then without waiting for him to ask, Liu Yuan opened his mouth again: "Lin Zhutou personally told me, without delay. ”

"Wait a minute. After Deng Fei finished speaking, he flew in as if he were flying.

Liu Yuan stood between the two stone lions, waiting quietly, and didn't let him wait too long, Deng Fei came back, looked at Liu Yuan and said: "The county magistrate is not in the ya, the magistrate is waiting for you in the back ya, come with me." ”

In the entire Qingchuan Prefecture, the county commander said that one is not the first one, and then it is the general judgment, but he is the deputy of the county commander, and when the county commander is not there, he can be in charge.

After saying that, Deng Fei walked inside, and Liu Yuan followed up the steps, not needing to meet the county magistrate, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Human lives are a major matter, the two of them are in a hurry, and Liu Yuan doesn't have the heart to look at the scene in the county office.

The county government is not big, through the rockery of the middle courtyard, more than ten steps inside, turn a corner and arrive at the back office.

When he walked to the door, Deng Fei stretched out his hand and pointed: "This is it." And when he had finished speaking, he departed, and went again to guard his gate.

The door of the back office was open, and Liu Yuan could see at a glance the small table in front of the door, the wooden chairs placed on both sides of the table, and a huge ink painting of an eagle striking the sky hanging above the table.

When I walked into the house, I saw a person standing on the left, dressed in a dark blue official uniform, with a tall posture and slightly rough hands behind him.

After hearing the footsteps, Wang Tongju turned around, and a natural and majestic face appeared in Liu Yuan's eyes.

"What important information did Lin Zhutou let you bring?" Wang Tongju got straight to the point, without the slightest nonsense, and asked directly.

The voice was heavy, these days, there have been several murder cases, and he is in a hurry, and the county magistrate has the Li family behind him, but he doesn't.

After studying hard for more than ten years, he finally managed to get into a position where a county was judged, but he has always been subservient to others, and he can imagine how eager he is to solve the case.

"The murderer has appeared, and Lin Zhutou has tracked it all the way to ......" Liu Yuan didn't dare to delay, and in concise words, he truthfully reported the situation that Lin Zhutou had confessed before.

After hearing this, Wang Tongju's eyes were blazing, and he clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his left hand and said, "Okay! This official immediately sent someone to Tuyun Street to search for the traces of the murderer. ”

As he spoke, he walked past Liu Yuan as if no one was around, and when he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the door, his steps were very large, and in his urgency, he completely ignored Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan blinked stupidly and stood inside the room.

???That's it, do I stay or go??" Looking around, there is not even a single figure, and the furnishings in the house are extremely simple, nothing to see.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Liu Yuan also walked out of the house, yes, there is nothing wrong with him, let's go back to the inn.

I secretly said in my heart, when the people of the Yamen came to their inn, they were so attentive that they didn't even drink a sip of water when they came, and they didn't even sit down.

Of course, he secretly slandered himself, knowing that the matter was urgent, but he didn't really care about it.

When Liu Yuan walked out of the county office, he had already seen that the entire yamen was a busy scene, and all the catches were integrated, so it was conceivable that tonight would be a sleepless night.

Just after Liu Yuan left, Wang Tongju quickly instructed the matter, and then walked out of the yamen alone and walked to a block to the east.

Stopped in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of a compound, stepped forward and pulled the copper ring to knock the gate, three times later, footsteps sounded in the door, a young man opened the door, looked at Wang Tong indifferently and said: "What's the matter?"

Changning Street, in the grocery store, Lin Zhutou looked at the bloody iron fingers in his hand and was stunned, the corner of his eyes flashed coldly, and under the firelight, a huge black shadow magnified under his feet, it was a figure holding a dagger and stabbing hard.

With a sonorous sound, the scimitar at the waist was unsheathed, and the knife was twisted and released in one go, and the speed was extremely fast.

After hearing a cry of pain, it was the jingling sound of the dagger falling to the ground, and under the firelight, the face of the grocery store shopkeeper was reflected, and Lin Zhutou's eyes were condensed: "It's you!"

The left hand pinched the wrist of the right hand, and before he had time to care about the pain, the shopkeeper knelt down with a pop.

In an instant, Lin Zhutou figured out the cause and effect.

It must be the shopkeeper who saw that he had discovered the secret in the splint space, which made him vicious and wanted to kill people.

As for why after checking it himself, he also hid the bloody murder weapon in the second-floor space, it is also very simple, it must be a place that has been checked once, but it is safer than changing places, and the shopkeeper never imagined that he would come to check it again.

The only thing I can't figure out now is how this person is connected to the murderer, Lin Zhutou looked down at him with anger in his eyes and said, "Say, what's going on." ”
