Early in the morning, the morning sun is rising.

Youzhou City, which had been silent all night, gradually woke up, but before people could completely break free from their sleep, a terrible scream suddenly came from the street.

People went out to check, and immediately saw two dead bodies lying in the middle of the road on the long street.

The Youzhou Prefecture Government soon received the news.

Not long after, Ling Yuntian came with Han Yanzuo and a large number of arresters to block the scene.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, they found the butterfly embroidered handkerchief that had been left not far from the two corpses.

"It's ......"

Ling Yuntian looked at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, groaned slightly, and then his eyes flashed suddenly!

He said to a catcher beside him: "You go to the pavilion post immediately to inform Lord Qincha, and say that the flower butterfly has shot again!"

Catcher nodded and left as ordered.

However, at this time, they didn't know that there was also a body found in the alley of Yihongyuan, which was about two streets away from here.

......

Chen Yutian got up a little later than usual today.

Last night, in order to investigate the whereabouts of Liu Jingyan's fat boy who was on the shift together, they almost ran to most of the gambling houses in the city, but there was still no news of this person. This person is like evaporating from the world.

The three of them didn't return to the pavilion until about the ugly time to rest, so that when Chen Yutian woke up this morning, it was already past the hour.

After eating breakfast leisurely, he was about to go to the Hakka Village with Gongsun and them to investigate, but suddenly received the news brought by Ling Yuntian's trustee.

"What? Flower Butterfly, he did it again?"

Listening to the news of the arrest, almost everyone in the Nine Dragons Mansion was taken aback, Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and asked, "Your family should be on the scene now, right?"

"Lord Hui Qincha, exactly. ”

"In that case, I'm going to have to ask you to take us there. With that, Chen Yutian stood up.

Everyone else got up and prepared to go.

"That being the case. Then please come with the little ones. ”

Under the leadership of the arrester, except for Xuan Xi in retreat, everyone in Kowloon Mansion came to the scene of the murder.

At this time, the preliminary investigation of the scene by the state government was basically over, and Ling Yuntian and Yu Fangjing were asking a few people dressed as civilians.

The people of Jiulong Mansion didn't greet him, and went straight to the corpse where Han Yanzuo was.

"Mr. Han, don't come unharmed. ”

"It turned out to be Chincha-sama. ”

The two sides exchanged a few words, and Chen Yutian said directly: "Can you let this mansion see the deceased?"

"Absolutely. Han Qizuo smiled slightly, and then ordered the officials who stayed on the side to lift the white cloth covering the corpse.

And at the moment when the white cloth was lifted and the face of the deceased was seen clearly, Gongsun, Bai Fan, and Xue Tianhan suddenly changed color as if they had encountered a thunderbolt from a sunny day!

"I didn't expect it, the deceased this time...... Unexpectedly...... It's ...... them."

Gongsun was surprised and sighed slightly.

Chen Yutian was puzzled and looked at the two corpses.

At that time, there were two ordinary-looking male corpses, one looked about fifty, and the other was younger, about twenty-five or sixteen.

The corpse also had only one wound from head to toe, the one on the neck, a thin blackened line.

This kind of wound is also found on the bodies of Li Ren and Yang Kuo.

Seeing this, Chen Yutian's eyes flashed.

The cause of death and the circumstances of the deceased are similar to Li Ren and Yang Kuo, and it seems that this time, it should be Hua Butterfly who committed the crime.

But......

Chen Yutian looked at the corpse and asked Gongsun, "Gongsun, do you know these two deceased?"

Gongsun nodded, "Don't hide it, these two people, we do know each other." They are Lin Ming, the shopkeeper of the Hakka Village House that we originally planned to investigate. and Wang Yun, a guy who runs the hall. ”

"What, it's them?" Tatsu Yutian was taken aback.

At this moment, a servant ran over panting, and reported to Ling Yuntian: "Report-My lord, it's not good, another corpse has been found!"

"What?" Ling Yuntian and everyone present were taken aback when they heard this!

In just one morning, three bodies were found, which ...... What was going on? Ling Yuntian felt that he was about to faint.

"Where is the scene?" he asked.

It is said that in the alley near Yihong Courtyard, Li Tou had already taken his brothers over first. ”

After listening to the officer's report, Ling Yuntian couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Chen Yutian saw his dilemma, so he said, "Lord Ling, you can do it here, and over there, just ask me to wait for it." ”

Hearing this, Ling Yuntian's eyes flashed, but he said with a difficult face: "This is ...... Why are you embarrassed to bother you?"

Chen Yutian waved his hand, "It's okay, anyway, His Majesty wants us to go on patrol, and that's why Master Ling doesn't have to be polite." Of course, the Mansion will also have some people here, and if Lord Ling needs help, just ask them. ”

After that, Ling Yuntian was not allowed to reply, he directly took Gongsun and Huo Yuanji, and under the guidance of the officer, went to the scene of the crime in Yihong Courtyard.

Lin Dao, Xue Tianhan, Ling Miaoyin, Tang Fengling, Lin Tao, and Wu Dongtian were left at the scene here.

At this time, Lin Tao stood behind his father, looking around boredly and lazily.

Suddenly, his gaze stayed on the crowd not far away. There, there was a small, familiar figure looking this way.

"It's her?Han Tong?" Lin Tao was secretly happy in his heart.

......

Chen Yutian, Gongsun, and Huo Yuanji, under the guidance of the officials, soon came to the scene of the crime.

As reported by the officials, the scene of the crime happened to be in the alley adjacent to Yihong Courtyard, and at this moment, this place has been sealed off by the government, and no idle people are allowed to wait for half a step.

But even so, the entrance of the alley is still crowded with passers-by.

Four people squeezed into the crowd and entered the scene.

After explaining to the head catcher at the blockade scene, the three met the deceased this time.

It was a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, born with a roe deer and a monkey gills. He was wearing a gray gown and looked very old. A pair of triangular eyes, which were not too big, were wide open, as if they had seen something extremely terrible before they died.

On his body, there was only one fatal wound exactly the same as Li Ren's.

Moreover, around its corpse, there is also a white embroidered handkerchief embroidered with blood-colored butterflies!

Obviously, this is also the work of flower butterflies.

Gongsun squatted down to examine the corpse carefully, while Chen Yutian stood up and asked the catcher, "Do you know who the deceased's name is, and where does his family live?"

"Lord Hui, after many inquiries from us, it has been determined that the deceased's name is Liu Dahai, nicknamed Dazui Liu, and he is a husband. ”

"What?" Hearing this, whether it was Chen Yutian, or Gongsun who was conducting an autopsy on the side, and Huo Yuanji, they were all extremely surprised!!

The deceased in front of him is the big-mouthed Liu?

The one who played the watch with Liu Jingyan?

He was also killed!

Chen Yutian's brows furrowed slightly, and he touched his chin and groaned.

This is very wrong!

Yesterday, they said that they were going to check the Hakka village, but today, the only suspicious two people in the Hakka village were killed by butterflies.

Originally, they wanted to find the big-mouthed Liu to learn more about Liu Jingyan's whereabouts after the time of the crime and before the third watch, but now, he was also killed by the flower butterfly.

This is not quite right!!

It always felt like the flower butterfly was deliberately hindering them from continuing their investigation.

But why?

Li Ren and their murder case are put aside for the time being, and the case of Bai Xiuxiu's murder seems to have nothing to do with Hua Butterfly.

But why did he kill Bigmouth Liu and obstruct the investigation?

"Isn't it ......"

Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of lightning, and at this moment, there was a guess in his heart.

"Judging from the stiffness of the deceased's body, the time of death should not exceed six hours, that is, the period from last night's morning to this morning's hour. The cause of death was also the poison of the shadowless dispersion, but the poison died less than twelve hours ago, so the fingertips had not turned black. ”

After the initial autopsy, Gongsun walked over.

"And, judging by the corpse situation, he should have drunk a lot of alcohol before he died. Huo Yuanji touched his nose and said with a smile.

"It seems so. Gongsun nodded, "As for other information, I'm afraid I won't know until I further investigate." ”

"yes, I see. ”

Chen Yutian was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"Still, I finally know why you didn't find this guy after looking for so long last night. Huo Yuanji suddenly smiled, "It seems that this guy hasn't been to the gambling house at all after getting the hush money, but has come here to have fun." No wonder you can't find it. ”

Hearing the word "hush money", Chen Yutian and Gongsun were shocked almost at the same time!

"What did you say? hush money?"

"That's right!"

Huo Yuanji smiled slightly, then raised his right hand and pointed to a certain place on the piece of paper in his hand with his left hand.

Gongsun took the paper in his hand, which was another list found in the flower butterfly purse, in addition to the list of deaths.

The two looked along the place pointed by Huo Yuanji, and sure enough, they saw that on it, there was Liu Dahai's name written in black and white.

It turned out that Liu Dahai was also a person living in Hakka on the fifth day of the second lunar month.

In the same way, he is one of those who, in the reasoning of the crowd, accepted hush money that would have saved him from death.

Seeing this, Chen Yutian's eyes couldn't help but give birth to a trace of suspicion.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

He looked at the list in his hand and fell into deep thought again.
