On the outskirts of Xuandu in the capital, not far from the gate of an abandoned ruined temple, the arrested people were blocked at the moment, and the people who were watching the excitement were crowded all around.

Everyone's eyes, whether frightened, curious, or afraid, were all unified in the open space in front of the broken temple.

There, lying on his stomach, was a headless corpse.

Gyeonggi Prefecture Governor Yin Xing Eunming stood in front of the clearing, looked at the corpse in front of him, and then looked at the ordinary people who were surrounded by him in the distance, his face was slightly ugly.

The third one started.

This is already the third such case this month.

Since Wu Chengtian, each deceased person was cut off by a sharp weapon and died, and the murderer's murder methods are surprisingly consistent, and it can be determined that the same person did it.

That is, the suspect in the Wu Chengtian case, Yue Lingxiao!

But what made Xing Enming unhappy was that it was clear that the other party had killed three lives in a row, but the government knew nothing about him except for his name.

Even the name, I don't know if it's true or not.

And the most important thing is that Yue Lingxiao is only a suspect at the moment, and there is no definite evidence to prove that he is the real murderer of this case!

This is simply a shame for myself as a person in the government!

Xing Enming suddenly clenched his right fist.

"My lord, I have already sent someone to invite the old man. Zhou Lin, the head catcher, walked over at this time, and saw that his adult looked different, and hurriedly reported.

Hearing this, Xing Enming nodded slightly, looked at the situation around the corpse, and said to Zhou Lin: "Zhou Zhutou, take a few brothers, and carefully search the surroundings of the scene, don't let go of any corner!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Lin responded, took a few arresters, and began to search the surroundings of the scene as instructed.

Xing Enming carefully looked at the corpse on the ground.

The deceased, like the two people before him, also had no head, and left a slightly sturdy body, wearing a black robe, and judging from the fabric of the clothes, it was made of fine silk, and it can be seen that the deceased's family must have been quite wealthy during his lifetime.

There was a bloodstain at the scene, but there were no obvious injuries on the body, and it was obvious that the deceased, like the two who came before, were killed by the murderer with a knife.

What a ruthless method!

Although he had seen it twice, seeing such a corpse, Xing Enming couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of the murderer.

What is the deep hatred that must be cut off alive?

At this moment, the servant who was squatting next to the corpse stood up. He has completed the preliminary examination of the body and is preparing to report the situation to Xing Enming.

"My lord, it can be determined that Wu Chengtian and the second headless corpse were both committed by the same person, and on this person's right arm, the scar left by the tattoo was also washed. ”

Hearing this, Xing Enming groaned slightly.

The second headless corpse had a scar on its right arm that had been washed away, and now the third corpse also had such a scar.

Could this be the reason why the murderer committed the murder?

Just as Xing Enming was thinking about this, a slightly exaggerated familiar voice suddenly came out of the crowd.

"I thought it was just Brother Chen who was joking and deceiving us......"

Xing Enming's expression moved, and a touch of excitement flashed from his eyes, and then he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw several familiar figures walking over from the crowd.

And I saw that there were ten people who came. The leader was dressed in white, holding a jade fracture fan, looking at Xing Enming with an excited expression, and a faint smile leaked from his face.

"Uncle Xing, long time no see!"

"Yutian, why did you come back? You didn't even inform your uncle and me. With a hint of surprise, Xing Enming walked up quickly.

Chen Yutian smiled faintly and spoke, "I just came back today, but I wrote a letter to my father and mother last night, and they should all know." ”

"I see, then you are here...... Could it be that it's also for this case?"

Xing Enming looked around him and found that almost all the members of the Nine Dragons Mansion had arrived, so he asked.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly and spoke, "Yes, Your Majesty has ordered my Jiulong Mansion to take full charge of this case, and I hope that Uncle Xing will be able to cooperate with us in the future." ”

Xing Enming's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and then he said: "That's natural, even if it's for the sake of the teacher's face, I will definitely help." ”

"That's good. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, then looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and asked, "Has the head of the corpse been found around here?"

"Nope. ”

Xing Enming nodded and sighed, "Yutian, you don't know, not only this one, but also the two corpses found before, their heads have not been found yet, according to the situation at the scene, the head of the deceased should have been taken away by the murderer." ”

"Oh, take it away?"

Chen Yutian's face froze slightly, and he glanced at Gongsun behind him, Gongsun nodded slightly, stepped forward to the corpse, and carefully examined the headless corpse.

I saw Gongsun's expression condense slightly, and then he pointed his fingers together into a sword, and pointed at the shoulders and arms of the headless corpse and the position in the middle of the body.

Xing Enming looked strange, and he didn't know what Gongsun was doing.

Chen Yutian smiled slightly, did not speak directly, but motioned for Xing Enming to continue looking.

I saw Gongsun count ten times on the headless corpse, and on the corpse, a little blood-colored light appeared, condensing on the corpse's neck.

It was only at this time that Gongsun Fang turned to look at everyone and explained, "This is the method of autopsy that I found in the 'Transformation Dafa' left by my master, using the special skill route of the internal power of the medicine spirit to show all the internal and external injuries suffered by the deceased before his death. ”

"Oh?" Xing Enming's expression froze slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Gongsun is like this, but I suspect that the wounds on the deceased's body are not only the stabbing of the head?"

Gongsun smiled slightly, and in order to answer his question, he laughed and said, "Master Xing, and keep reading." ”

Chen Yutian also smiled, and then looked at the headless corpse.

The surrounding officials and onlookers, countless eyes, all gathered on the headless corpse in front of the temple gate at this moment.

I saw that a moment after Gongsun finished speaking, on the chest of the headless corpse, where the heart and spleen and lungs were originally located, several blood-colored glints slowly appeared.

"This is ......" Xing Enming and the Gyeonggi Mansion on the side were suddenly taken aback!

They thought that there had always been only one wound on the deceased's body, that is, the fatal wound of the skull, but the situation at this moment told them that there were other wounds on the deceased's body.

Chen Yutian smiled slightly, then stepped forward, came to the interior of the abandoned temple, his eyes swept slightly, and then froze on a wooden wall with a broken hole.

The hole was irregularly shaped, and the signs of the broken planks were relatively new, and it looked as if they had not been broken for long.

Moreover, the fracture is rough and should be fractured by strong force.

Chen Yutian groaned slightly, his face became slightly solemn, looking at the situation, it seems that there was a fierce fight here.

He stood up and looked around the ruined temple.

Then, a rapid and powerful internal force suddenly erupted from its body, and a trace of internal force breath, mixed with thousands of spiritual senses, spread and shrouded the entire temple.

For a moment, Chen Yutian's face condensed slightly.

"Sure enough, there was a fierce fight here, and the two sides of the fight should be the deceased and the murderer, but what puzzles me is that the murderer has obviously shattered the internal organs of the deceased, why did he cut off the other party's head in one fell swoop?"

"Could it be just to disguise the identity of the deceased?"

"Or ......"

Chen Yutian groaned, slowly walked slowly around the broken temple, and suddenly, something on the ground made his expression move, and his eyes were attracted.

"It's ......"

He picked it up and stared at it for a long time.

That's a piece of exquisitely clear emerald green jade pendant!

"I don't know if this thing belongs to the murderer or ...... The deceased ......" Chen Yutian was silent for a moment, and put away the jade pendant first.

Outside, the Gyeonggi Mansion looked at the blood-colored look on the headless corpse's viscera in disbelief.

"No...... I've checked it several times, and his organs don't have any damage, so why ......?"

Gongsun smiled slightly and explained: "What you examined is just an appearance, it is something that the murderer deliberately wants you to see, but you can't be blamed for this, after all, the reason why his wounds show no damage is because the martial arts used by the other party are too special, if you are not a person who practices martial arts, you can't see any clues at all." ”

"I see!" the servant sighed slightly.

Xing Enming's expression was a little solemn, and he glanced at the bloodstains on the headless corpse's viscera, "According to Mr. Sense, could it be that the deceased had a fierce fight with the murderer before he died?

At this time, Xue Tianhan's eyes flashed slightly, while Huo Yuanji and the others were smiling slightly.

"Because the place where the murderer and the deceased fought was not here, but in the ruined temple. Huo Yuanji pointed to the ruined temple not far away.

Xing Enming glanced at the ruined temple suspiciously.

The location of the ruined temple was quite a distance from the deceased, and judging from the place where the body was located, it was impossible for the scene of the fight to be there.

After all, with the running speed of ordinary people, it is difficult to run here from the broken temple in a short time.

But it is clear that the dead were not ordinary people.

Although he had no head and could not identify his identity, Gongsun Fangcai still felt a strong internal force that had not completely dissipated from this headless corpse.

Obviously, the deceased was a warrior before his death.

And at least it should be a martial artist who has reached the level of transcendent perfection.

A martial artist of such skill can only go from the broken temple to the place where the corpse is displayed, so from this point of view, the place where the two fight should be in the broken temple.

However, Xing Enming is not a person who practices martial arts, and he does not understand the horrors of those who practice martial arts, so at the beginning, he did not think of this.

After listening to everyone's explanations, Xing Enming finally understood his limitations, and finally understood why the emperor would give full authority to the Kowloon Mansion to take charge of this case.

The mustard that originally existed in my heart because of this has also completely dissipated.

"According to what a few people said, it is very likely that the deceased and the murderer met and fought in this broken temple?"

"That's good!" Xue Tianhan was expressionless, came to the headless corpse, stared at it with a tense face, and then quickly turned around and said indifferently, "And the murderer is still a good hand with a sword, you can know by looking at the wound on the neck that it is a sword wound, and he can cut off the opponent's head so quickly and smoothly, this person's kung fu should not be underestimated." ”

"I see. Xing Enming nodded again and again.

At this moment, there was a light laugh from the crowd, the voice was thick and clear, and there was a hint of kindness and kindness.

"Looks like there's not much need for me as a bad old man......"

Hearing this, Xing Enming's face suddenly swelled with a hint of surprise, and then he followed the voice to look at the crowd, and saw that Chen Gong walked in with a smile accompanied by a catcher.

Seeing Chen Gong appear, everyone in Jiulong Mansion was also slightly stunned, and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen the old man!"

Seeing that everyone stepped forward to salute, the smile on Chen Gong's face became more and more kind, he glanced at everyone slightly, and then spoke, "I also said that why haven't you come back yet?" Obviously, Yutian sent a letter this morning saying that he was about to arrive in the capital, but he was still nowhere to be seen by this time. It turned out that I came here to investigate the case. By the way, what about Yuten? He should be here too, right?"

"It's coming, it's coming...... I'm investigating it inside. ”

Before everyone could answer, Xing Enming was the first to say, Chen Gong nodded slightly, and looked at everyone, "Since they are all here to investigate, then let's talk about what you found at this scene, as for the problem on the corpse, I have already seen Mr. Gongsun's autopsy method when I was in the crowd, which is really amazing to the old man!"

"The old man is polite. Gongsun respectfully bowed to Chen Gong.

At this moment, Chen Yutian touched his chin and walked out of the broken temple, and while walking, he was still thinking about something in his mind, and he didn't notice Chen Gong who had arrived.

Chen Gong couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw his son thinking so seriously.

At this moment, Gongsun, who was examining the corpse, suddenly let out a startled sigh.

"Mr. Gongsun, what's wrong?" Xing Enming hurriedly asked.

I saw Gongsun look at the wrist of the deceased's right arm, where several scars were staggered and horizontal, and it looked a little shocking.

"It's ......"

"It was a scar from the tattoo that had been washed away with a potion, and we had found similar scars on the two previous bodies, and they were surprisingly similar in location, both on the wrist of the deceased's right arm. Looking at its appearance, it seems to be the same. ”

The servant on the side explained,

"Oh, and the other two bodies have this scar on them?"

Gongsun's expression froze slightly, if it was just one or two corpses that had scars at that location, it could be explained by coincidence, but three corpses in a row had the same scars in the same position, and these three people all died at the hands of one person, it is difficult to say that this is still a coincidence.

"What is the mystery of such interesting similarities?"

Looking at the scar on the corpse's arm, Gongsun fell into deep thought.
