Chapter 1 Serial Murders
At night, the wind was cold and bitter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cold wind was whistling, but I saw a divine horse galloping on the official road, and the horse's hooves raised dust in the sky, like a wild rush, going straight to the capital Xuandu.
"Driving ......"
Mu Fengchen looked hurried, and while looking ahead, he raised his hand and waved the horsewhip, urging the horse to gallop.
He was anxious.
Because, in the poster bag on his body, there is an important piece related to the entire Western Regions border.
Suddenly, he stopped.
He had to stop, because not far in front of him, a hand appeared.
Yes, one hand.
A hand as dry as tree bark and full of calluses!
One poked out of the earth, as if it were from the hand of the dead!
Mu Fengchen was frightened.
In such a night, anyone would be shocked to suddenly see such a hand sticking out from the ground!
It's not about guts, it's an instinctive reaction!
After the fright, Mu Fengchen was a little strange.
Why is there such a hand, next to the official road?
Curious and apprehensive, he slowly dug open the ground beneath his hand.
He was shocked by the scene in front of him!
Because, in the layer of soil he dug up, there was a corpse buried in it!
Moreover, this corpse is estimated to have been dead for a long time, and it has begun to stink.
Suddenly, the waist knife used to dig the ground seemed to touch something in the soil, and there was a sound of gold and iron .......
Mu Fengchen was strange, and hurriedly dug up the soil in that place.
Dig something out of the dirt.
It is about a foot long, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and has a pointed end.
Judging by the shape, this should be a reaming arrow.
But how could there be an arrow buried in the soil?
Mu Fengchen, who was puzzled, had no choice but to put away the arrow first, and then buried the body again, planning to inform the Criminal Department of the matter by the way after entering Beijing tomorrow.
After that, he hurried on his way.
However, not long after he left, a figure suddenly appeared in the dense forest on the side of the official road.
He looked at Mu Fengchen's departing back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
And in his hands, he held an object.
It was an arrow that was exactly the same as the one Mu Fengchen found in the soil!
The next day, Mu Fengchen came here with a large number of catchers from Gyeonggi Province and dug up the body.
Gyeonggi Prefecture Yoon Xing Eun Ming glanced at the corpse, then pinched his nose and left.
The servant on the side stepped forward and began to inspect the body.
After a while, he reported: "My lord, the deceased has no obvious external injuries on his body, nor does he show any signs of internal injuries, the only possibility should be that he died of suffocation." ”
"Suffocation?"
"Yes, judging from the strangulation marks on the deceased's hands and feet, and the mud between his mouth and nose, the deceased should have been buried alive by the murderer with a rope, which eventually led to suffocation. ”
"Oh, buried alive again?"
"Yes, I also think it is strange, this method seems to be basically the same as the death of the Wang Jian Jun a few days ago, I think it should be the same murderer. He replied.
Hearing this, Xing Enming pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What about the time of death of the deceased?"
"Judging by the fact that the corpse has begun to stink, the time of death should be at least half a month, and the corpse has been buried in the soil for a long time. ”
"From this point of view, the time of death between this person and that Wang Jianjun is not much different!" Xing Enming groaned, and then looked at Mu Fengchen, "General Mu, I remember that you just said that you still found an arrow in the soil, right?"
"Exactly. ”
Mu Fengchen nodded, then reached into his arms and took out the order arrow.
I saw that the arrow was silver and white with gold edges, and it seemed to be very valuable.
However, the moment Mu Fengchen took out the arrow, the person suddenly froze.
Last night, the night was dark, and he didn't see the specific appearance of the arrow, but now he saw it really.
And when he saw it clearly, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank!
"It's ......"
I saw that where the word "Ling" should have been written on the arrow, there were three bright red words at this moment-
Ghost Order!
Xing Enming also saw the arrow clearly, he suddenly gasped, and exclaimed: "Sure enough!
"Master Xing, what is really the case?"
Mu Fengchen handed the arrow to Xing Enming and asked.
Xing Enming didn't speak, but took out something from his arms.
That thing is also an arrow, and it is exactly the same as the one Mu Fengchen found last night!
"This is ......" Mu Fengchen also gasped.
"General Mu, about half a month ago, Gyeonggi Prefecture received a report that a buried corpse was found in the southern suburbs of the city. ”
He gave Mu Fengchen a look at the ghost military order he took out of his body.
Mu Fengchen only glanced at it, and secretly exclaimed.
"Ahh......h
Before he finished speaking, Xing Enming nodded.
"General Mu's guess is right, this should be a serial murder case!"
Mu Fengchen was surprised again!
Xing Enming also smiled bitterly.
Although he had expected it, he was still taken aback when this possibility really became a reality.
He lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he commanded left and right: "Search the whole city, and report to me immediately if anyone suddenly loses news and is unknown." This matter must not be delayed, and it should be done quickly!"
Left and right, and then ordered to leave.
Mu Fengchen looked at the departing figures of the headhunters, and said strangely: "Master Xing, you are ......?"
"General Mu, remember what I just said, this case is a serial murder case......
"Not bad!"
"In the words of the Emperor Chen, if the death of Wang Jianjun means the beginning of this case, then the death of the second deceased will never mean the end of this case......" Xing Enming said meaningfully.
Mu Fengchen chewed this sentence carefully, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly!
"What do you mean...... Is it possible for the killer to continue to kill?"
Xing Enming nodded, and said: "Moreover, the saint of Wang Jianjun's case has also heard about it, and now the second deceased has appeared...... This matter also needs to be heard by heaven as soon as possible......"
......
Xuan Ye has been in a bad mood lately.
In Gyeonggi City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was a strange case of being buried alive, which made him feel bad.
But I don't want to, but at this juncture, there is also a problem in the border of the Western Regions.
In recent months, because of the approaching winter, the imperial court allocated 5 million taels of silver and a large amount of cold materials to the border, hoping to help the border soldiers resist the cold of the harsh winter.
However, when the materials were transported to the border of the Western Regions, they were robbed by a group of Western Regions horses.
The guards in charge of the escort were also wiped out!
When the news came, the whole country was shocked, Tianwei was furious, and Xuan Ye personally sent Mu Fengchen, the general of Long Wuwei, to Liangzhou, an important town on the border of the Western Regions, to understand the whole story.
And just this morning, Mu Fengchen returned to the capital.
Returning to the capital with him, there was also a letter written by Long Wu, the general of the Eagle Yangwei stationed in Liangzhou.
And at this moment, Xuan Ye is in the imperial study,
Review the note.
Suddenly, Puyang Ling walked in.
"Your Majesty, the secretary of the criminal department asks to see you. ”
......
At the same time, in the most popular teahouse "Taibai Xuan" in Xuandu, a group of special guests came.
The group is not very old, and the oldest two are only in their thirties.
The reason why they are special is because they came in a carriage, and the carriage was dusty, and it looked like they had traveled a long way, but they did not carry any baggage on them, and they did not look like people who traveled far away.
This group of people is naturally Chen Yutian and his party who ended the case in Baishan County and rushed back to the capital.
"Boss, a good pot of tea. ”
Xue Tianhan took out a silver ingot from his arms expressionlessly and put it on the table, "If you have any good wine and good food, just serve it." ”
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute......"
When the shopkeeper on the side saw such a big ingot of silver, he was already smiling, and then hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to arrange all kinds of meals.
On the side, Chen Yutian looked at him speechlessly.
In the past few days, he found that in addition to the cleanliness of Xue Tianhan, there are several characteristics that make people weak.
Losers are one of them!
Along the way, almost all of their expenses were paid by the snow and cold, and at each stop, he had to take out a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, and he did not bring change. It doesn't look like you're spending your own money.
This made everyone call the loser for a while.
However, he spent so much money that he didn't make himself poor, which made Chen Yutian have to wonder, how much money did he bring?
Just thinking about it, suddenly a voice sounded in the teahouse:
"Boss, come to a good pot of tea, and then have a special osmanthus cake made by you......"
This voice was too familiar, Chen Yutian subconsciously looked over, and saw a person sitting at the tea table next to him.
Seeing this person's face, Chen Yutian suddenly felt a burst of surprise.
The man was also overjoyed.
"It's you?"
