Chapter 2 Empty Painting

Looking at the two corpses lying in a pool of blood, Xuan Xi was suddenly taken aback!

Her mind swelled with earth-shattering waves, shocked, and completely submerged it in an instant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A hint of sadness welled up on his face!

"Dedicated to the king... Grandpa..."

When the other three heard this, they were all taken aback!

"What?" Huo Yuanji said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, are you saying that one of these two corpses is the old Xianwang who is celebrating his birthday today?"

"Yes!" Xuan Xi nodded, his voice trembling slightly.

Everyone was silent.

They came today to celebrate the birthday of the old king, and even their respective elders prepared a rich birthday gift for this.

But now, the protagonist of the birthday banquet died tragically, which...

No one knows.

However, the tragedy has already happened, and it is useless to say anything now.

Chen Yutian groaned and walked into the room.

Inside the room, there were no signs of a fight or struggle other than the two deceased who fell to the ground.

Moreover, the doors and windows of the room are also locked from the inside.

This room is obviously a secret room!

So, how did the killer escape?

Chen Yutian's eyes flashed and he came to the corpse.

The two deceased had multiple wounds on their bodies, their bodies were covered in blood, and their deaths were extremely miserable!!

Such a way of dying, Chen Yutian is the first time to see it.

This kind of death is like being bitten to death by some kind of wild beast.

The cruelty of this murderer is outrageous.

Chen Yutian's face was gloomy, and he inadvertently looked up, and with just one glance, his body was shocked!

"It's... It's..."

I saw that in front of him, on the wall facing the door, there were three... Blank Painting!

Yes, blank!

These three scrolls are... A blank slate!

Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is blank, because on this scroll, there is also an inscription and a seal!

But on the contrary, the main body of the painting is missing!

It's as if the thing in this painting has run away by itself!

Seeing this empty painting, Chen Yutian was like being hit by a thunderbolt, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked carefully in the house.

"If my assumption is correct, there should be something like that here!Ah, I found it!"

Chen Yutian's eyes flashed, and he picked up something from the ground.

"Sure enough, the tiger roars, the empty paintings, and things like that, the murderer, and sure enough, it's that guy again... Unexpectedly, before I arrived in Lingshui County, I ran into his case..."

"However, this time he actually committed murder in the Xianwang Mansion, this guy's courage is really getting bigger and bigger..."

"It's just, what is his purpose?"

Chen Yutian stared at the object in his hand and groaned.

In his hands, there was a yellow clump of animal-like hair.

The moment he heard the roar of the tiger, Chen Yutian had a guess in his heart.

The previous corpse and empty painting all confirmed the speculation in his heart a little more.

It wasn't until he found the hair that he finally confirmed his guess!

"Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken..."

As if he had thought of something, Chen Yutian suddenly walked up to one of the empty pictures and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he smiled.

"I see, the murderer's purpose, I am roughly clear..."

"But there is one thing I don't understand, what is the purpose of the murderer's painstaking and lonely layout?"

......

Xue Tianhan also walked in after Chen Yutian entered the scene.

The first time he entered, his eyes fell on the broken latch on the ground.

This latch is a little strange.

On it, there are obvious traces of a string or wire tie.

Xue Tianhan looked at it for a moment, then suddenly walked quickly to the window, pushed open the window, and took a closer look.

Sure enough, on the edge of the window, there was a very new mark, apparently rubbed against something like a rope.

Seeing this, he, smiled.

"Brother Chen, here. ”

Chen Yutian was still thinking about the question in his heart at the moment, and when he heard Xue Tianhan calling him, he temporarily suppressed it and walked over.

"Brother Xue, is there something wrong?"

Xue Tianhan pointed to the trace.

Chen Yutian only glanced at it, and immediately realized something, and walked quickly to the place where the door latch fell, picked it up and took a closer look.

When he saw the trace, his eyes flashed, and a trace of suddenness came to his heart.

He looked at Xue Tianhan, and the next moment, the two looked at each other and smiled!

On the side, Xuan Xi looked strange, what kind of dumb riddle were these two people playing?

Beside him, Huo Yuanji smiled and said: "Don't look at it, in the world of smart people, we and other fools will not understand." ”

Xuan Xiqi said: "You are in the rivers and lakes, and you are known for being as smart as Xue Tianhan, how can you say that you are a fool?"

Huo Yuanji smiled: "I am not the same as Tianhan's intelligence. ”

"My cleverness is only limited to martial arts, but Tianhan's cleverness is manifested in all aspects. In terms of martial arts, Tianhan and I can be said to be smart people, but in other aspects, the gap between me and him is by no means a star and a half. Right now, for example, I don't know what they're thinking. ”

When Xuan Xi heard this, he also smiled and said: "In this way, I am the same kind of person as you, because I don't know what they are thinking." ”

Huo Yuan couldn't help but glance at her more.

This princess is really a wonderful person, not only is she not a little princess, but she also said that she is a fool, she is not annoyed, but generously admits it.

In this way, it is quite similar to the children of the rivers and lakes.

At the end, Huo Yuanji glanced at her again and said, "It's okay, they will tell us." ”

At this time, Chen Yutian was showing the hair he found to Xue Tianhan.

After Xue Tianhan saw it, he smiled again.

"Sure enough, this case is related to those cases!"

"Yes, these cases should have been committed by the same person, but I don't know the purpose, what do you want to do?"

Huo Yuanji and Xuan Xi listened, and a guess appeared in their hearts.

"The case you're talking about, shouldn't it be..."

"Yes, it is the tiger painting murder case that has caused a stir in Lingshui County recently!"

Chen Yutian and Xue Tianhan looked at each other and smiled, nodded, and said in unison.

Huo Yuanji and Xuan Xi were all taken aback!

"What? is this case?!"

They have all heard about this case.

The incident happened in Lingshui County.

About three months ago, there was a bizarre homicide there!

Li Yuan, a wealthy businessman in this county, was found tragically dead in his study, in a miserable and strange death!

On its body, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were multiple bites all over the body, as if it had been bitten to death by something. It's exactly the same as the death of the old king today!

Before the body was found, his family also said that a tiger roared from the study!

After that, the officials found a handful of tiger hair from the scene.

And Li Yuan, who usually likes to collect tiger paintings, after the incident, when the family cleaned up these tiger paintings, they found that one of them had become a blank painting!

Thinking of Li Yuan's death and the roar of the tiger at the scene, the Li family panicked all of a sudden, thinking that the tiger on the tiger painting had become real, and bit Li Yuan to death and escaped. That's why the painting became blank.

This was originally a saying that circulated in the Li family, but it didn't take long for it to somehow spread to the county seat, and it soon spread so much that even people in neighboring counties knew about it.

The government has come forward to refute the rumors many times, but it is useless.

And just half a month after the incident, the second tiger roar came out in the backyard of the county government!

The third class of officials rushed over as soon as possible, but found that the county order and the servant died tragically in the study!

His death is exactly the same as Li Yuan!

And on the wall of the study, there is also a blank painting!

At the scene, there were also tiger hairs scattered.

All kinds of signs show that this case is the same method as Li Yuan's death!

The government originally wanted to hide the details of the death of the county order, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and it didn't take long for this matter to spread, and the rumors of tiger painting killing people intensified!

Even, it spread to Lingzhou, to the capital, and to the ears of Sima Xuanye today!

When the Son of Heaven heard this, Long Yan was furious, so he sent a messenger to serve as the new R county commander of Lingshui County to thoroughly investigate these two cases...

If the case in front of you was committed by the same murderer as the Tiger Painting murder case, then this is the third case.

Three cases, five lives!

In terms of plot, it is very serious!

Especially this time, the deceased is a royal noble, and the situation is even more serious!

This is, there was some movement outside the house, but it was King Ye Hong who rushed over with the palace guards.

"Your Royal Highness, what happened?"

Xuan Xi glanced at Ye Hong, but he didn't know how to tell the person in front of him about this unfortunate news, so he could only let go of the body that was blocking the corpse in silence.

The same is true for the other three.

And the moment they got out of the way, Ye Hong's eyes suddenly straightened!

For a long time, a sad cry, like a heartbreak, came out...

"Father..."
