Chapter 24 Mountain rain is coming

Xue Tianhan's discovery was a trace that seemed to have been dragged on the ground.

Seeing this trace, his eyes flashed, and the next moment, he actually showed a knowing smile.

"I see...... It seems that the deceased was indeed removed after death. ”

"But what is the purpose of the murderer's removal of the body?"

Xue Tianhan stared at the trail and groaned.

At this time, Lin Dao, who walked behind the acacia tree, suddenly frowned.

Above it, in a dense cluster of peach blossoms, two small figures, hidden in it, closely watched the people under the tree.

These two people are naturally Lin Tao and Han Tong.

After Han Tong made the judgment that Wang Yun was likely to be moved after death, in order to verify his conjecture, he first came to the Yuelao Temple with Lin Tao to check. Unexpectedly, before they could do anything, they saw Wu Yu leading the people of the state government over from afar.

In order not to be discovered by their respective fathers, the two had no choice but to hide first.

And this place is empty, there is no shelter, so the only choice for the two is the acacia tree itself.

But now it seems that I am afraid that this acacia tree is not very safe.

Han Tong stared at the forest knife under the tree, and couldn't help praying in his heart, don't be discovered, don't be discovered......

However, how could this kind of trick be concealed from the experienced Lin Dao?

Not to mention that the hiding place of the two is not very secret, even the breath on their bodies is impossible to hide from Lin Dao's spiritual sense.

So, as soon as Lin Dao passed under the tree, he found the two people in the tree.

It's just that he didn't directly call the two down from the tree, but grinned and left.

When the two people on the tree saw this, they were both glad in their hearts.

Leaving the forest knife under the acacia tree, he came directly to Xue Tianhan's side, and saw that he was meditating on a trace, so he took a closer look.

At first glance, this mark looks very much like a trace of a person being dragged.

But here, how can there be such traces?

Don't...... After the murderer killed the deceased, he dragged the body?

This doesn't make sense, with the strength of the flower butterfly at its otherworldly peak, it is impossible for even a man of medium stature to not be able to carry it.

So, how to explain this trace?

Lin Dao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xue Tianhan took a closer look at the trace a few more times, and suddenly, the essence in his eyes flashed.

"I see...... This trace has been destroyed. ”

"Oh?" Lin Dao's gaze was slightly fixed, and his gaze followed the trail to look forward, but he saw that there were only messy footprints on the ground in front of him, indeed, the scene where this trace was located had been damaged and was incomplete.

"This ...... What to do?"

Lin Dao looked at the trace, and there was a rare trace of helplessness on his face.

"No way. After all, we didn't find out in time, and this was the first scene of the crime, let alone protect it. ”

Xue Tianhan shook his head slightly and stood up.

"However, although the scene has been destroyed, we can at least be sure that Wang Yun was killed here and transferred his body there. ”

This can also be seen from the traces of this destruction. I just don't know, what is this trace left behind?"

Lin Dao nodded slightly.

Indeed, if we could know what exactly left that damaged trace, perhaps the case would not be as confusing as it is now.

"Alas...... That's it, it seems that it is impossible to find any useful clues here, tell Ling Yuntian, let's go back first. The only hope for now is to see what those two corpses can tell us. ”

After that, Xue Tianhan left directly.

Lin Dao shook his head slightly, and then brought his words to Ling Yuntian, and after a while, the officials all retreated......

Under the acacia tree, where the blockade was lifted, many young people soon gathered again one after another.

And just after these people gathered, on the acacia tree, there were two small figures that quietly slipped down from the tree.

......

Chen Yutian sat quietly in the lobby of the state office.

After returning from the scene of the murder of Liu Dahai, he sat here without saying a word.

As soon as Gongsun came back, he went into Han Yanzuo's coroner's autopsy room, where Liu Dahai's corpses, as well as the bodies of Lin Ming and Wang Yun who had just been transported back from the scene, were parked there.

As for Huo Yuanji, he originally sat in the second hall with Chen Yutian, but as soon as Chen Yutian came back, he sat there and fell into contemplation without saying a word, which made him feel quite bored. So he sat down for a while, and then ran out to relax.

And Chen Yutian is still sitting.

Just this morning, there were three homicides in a row, and everyone died under the blood-colored butterfly.

And, up to now, there have been as many as 11 lives at the hands of this famous killer, and in terms of the plot, it is already very serious.

However, until now, they can't figure out what the real motive of the flower butterfly is to kill people?

Is it really to thwart the investigation?

If so, then which case is he obstructing?

Is it the murder of a guest in the village, or is it the murder of Bai Xiuxiu?

If it is really a case of the murder of a guest from a guest in the village, then there is an explanation for the murder of the eight people in the death list, as well as the murder of Lin Ming, Wang Yun and others.

Thinking of Lin Ming and Wang Yun, Chen Yutian couldn't help frowning.

The two men happened to be assassinated the night before they were looking for their investigation, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

After all, the timing of their death was too coincidental.

If their deaths were really because someone didn't want to commit the crime because they didn't want that incident to happen in the Hakka Village, then who would be behind the scenes? How did they know that they were going to Lin Ming and them to investigate?

According to the list, Lin Ming and Liu Dahai both received hush money when this person first started to seal his mouth. According to the general situation, since these three people have collected hush money, then they should not be killed. ”

In fact, at the beginning, the man behind the scenes, against them, did not kill them. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a list of deaths and a list of non-deaths. But why, in the end, did he still attack these three people?"

"Could it be...... He was afraid that we would ask Lin Ming and them something unfavorable to him, so he chose to kill people before we found them?"

"After all, a dead man is the least likely to reveal any secrets. ”

Chen Yutian's eyes flickered incessantly.

"If that's the case, then it's certain that this person behind the scenes should already know that we're going to find Lin Ming and Wang Yun, but how did he know about it? Not many people know about it, even the few of them, I haven't had time to say it. ”

He carefully recalled that time when he and Gongsun decided to go to Hakka to investigate the scene at that time, at that time, except for the two of them, the only people present were Ling Yuntian, Fang Jing, Han Qizuo and Han Tong.

Han Tong is naturally unlikely.

Then, this leaker should be among the other three. But who will it be?

"Ling Yuntian, as the Yin of Youzhou Mansion, should be impossible. However, this person also has secrets, at least, he will definitely not be able to get rid of Liu Jingyan's matter. ”

Thinking of the scene when he saw Liu Jingyan on death row, especially thinking that he always looked up at Ling Yuntian's suspicious behavior from time to time, it is enough to prove that Ling Yuntian, in this matter, will definitely not be as simple as it seems.

But......

After all, Liu Jingyan was beaten into a trick by him and confessed to murder, if he forcibly coerced Liu Jingyan to confess murder because he wanted to conceal this fact, it was not impossible.

"Even if he is suspicious, it should be related to Bai Xiuxiu's case, and it should have nothing to do with the case of Hakxiangju. The person who leaked the secret should not be him. ”

"And the other two ......"

Chen Yutian thought about it, whether it was Han Yanzuo or the master book named Fang Jing, it was possible for these two to tell the truth.

And, one of these two must be the one who leaked the secret!!

Only, who will it be?

Chen Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the square mirror has not had much contact with it, it is inferred from its face and the behavior it sees on weekdays that this person should be a person who is good at slapping horses and should be extremely proficient in the art of flattery.

Such a character, if it is said that he forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit, and sells some things because of money, it is not impossible.

However, this matter does not seem to be so simple.

After all, in addition to this mirror, there is another suspect.

Although, this person, Chen Yutian subconsciously thinks that he should be unlikely.

After all, his first impression on himself was not too bad.

"Wait......"

Thinking of this, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly had a brilliant shining essence, and it disappeared in a flash!

He remembered.

Last night, in the Wanjin Gambling House, the familiar figure who passed by him......

Before, he hadn't paid much attention to it, but now that he thinks about it, that familiar figure is clearly ...... Han Chengzuo!!

"It's a gambling house, why is he there?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembered that starting this year, no one in the public will be allowed to touch gambling, and anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the public office.

This law only came into effect in January this year.

Thinking of this regulation, Chen Yutian couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, this regulation has something to do with myself.

It was one day after the New Year, Xuan Ye, the son of heaven, had nothing to do, so he summoned himself, Xuan Xi and others to Taiji Palace, and then asked them to talk about the ghost temple heavenly punishment case they encountered on the way back to Beijing.

Originally, this case had already been written in detail after Chen Yutian returned to Beijing.

But Xuan Ye was not satisfied with this, and he had to listen to them talk about it in person.

So, in order to make the Son of Heaven happy, Chen Yutian had to tell him the details of the case again.

And, when Chen Yutian talked about the section where Sun Leopard was killed in Baishan County because of his addiction to gambling, Xuan Ye immediately drafted an edict to strictly order the public officials in all prefectures and counties in the world to absolutely prohibit gambling, and once discovered, they will be dealt with seriously. Avoid the recurrence of Sun Bao's tragedy!

"Although this law has not been implemented for much time, Youzhou is not very far from Xuandu, and it must have begun to be implemented. In this case, Han Leng, who is a state official, appears in the gambling house, which is quite intriguing. ”

An intriguing smile appeared on Chen Yutian's face.

"Could it be him?"

At this moment, Xue Tianhan and the others also came back from the Yuelao Temple. As soon as everyone entered the second hall, they saw Chen Yutian sitting there.

"Brother Chen, you're back!"

Wu Dongtian said hello, Chen Yutian raised his eyes slightly, and saw everyone walking in one after another.

Xue Tianhan looked at him and smiled.

"You're back, how's that going over there?"

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, "The situation is not too good, do you know who the dead are over there?"

"Oh?" Xue Tianhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who is it?" Ling Miaoyin, Tang Fengling, Wu Dongtian, and Lin Dao all looked at him, and there was a faint flash of curiosity in their eyes.

"It's Liu Dahai who we searched for last night without success!!"

"What? is he?"

Everyone was taken aback, only a few other people in the Youzhou Prefecture were a little stunned.

"He's actually dead?" Tang Fengling was extremely surprised.

"Hmm. Not only that, but we have another discovery, you see. With that, Chen Yutian took out the non-death list and handed it to everyone.

After everyone took it, they were still a little dazed at first, but Xue Tianhan only glanced at it a few times, and then saw Liu Dahai's name on it.

"He's one of those people?" he was surprised.

"yes, I just found out. Chen Yutian smiled bitterly and nodded.

"The murderer...... Should it be ......" After Ling Miaoyin looked at the list, she seemed to have guessed something, and her face changed suddenly!

Chen Yutian smiled bitterly and nodded, "That's right." ”

As he spoke, he took out the blood-colored butterfly embroidered handkerchief.

Seeing this embroidered handkerchief, what else did the people not understand. The murderer, naturally, is a flower butterfly again.

Xue Tianhan looked at the embroidered handkerchief, and was about to speak, but saw a figure suddenly falling from the sky outside, and immediately, everyone felt that the temperature of the air around them skyrocketed, like a heat wave, rushing to their faces.

This person is naturally Yanzun!!

But, how did Yan Zun come here?

Everyone looked at Yan Zun who walked in slowly with some surprise!

Especially Ling Yuntian and the others, after learning that this person in front of them was Yan Zun, one of the martial arts saints, they were suddenly stunned as if they had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky!

"Grandpa, why are you here?" asked Huo Yuanji after a long time.

Yan Zun glanced at his grandson, "What, isn't grandpa welcome?"

Huo Yuan was speechless, "Of course not, I'm just a little curious, grandfather, don't you usually act with the Ice King's seniors, why did you come to the state office alone?"

Yan Zun spread his hands slightly, "Originally, we did come by two people, but ......"

Hearing this, Xue Tianhan's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Could it be...... My master, he's lost again?"

"Correct solution!" Yan Zun smiled slightly.

Xue Tianhan shook his head slightly, speechless.

But at this moment, Yan Zun smiled again, "Okay, I won't tease you." The old ghost of the Ice King is still in the pavilion and has not been lost. And the reason why the old man came here was just to lose to him, so he is responsible for handing over this secret letter sent by Xuanye boy to you. ”

Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while.

Guess the box......

"Okay, the secret letter is here, and the old man will go first. Hmph! I must win that old ghost when I go back this time!"

After saying that, Yan Zun left superstition and disappeared into the sky again.

Only the speechless crowd on the ground was left.

Chen Yutian opened the secret letter, only glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly changed!

"It's ......"

I saw that there was only one line of words on top of the secret letter.

Ye Hong has become the first person to be rewarded in the rivers and lakes!
