Chapter 042: The Dead Man in Liufu (Three Watches)
When the second prince heard that Mu Yirong had come to Liufu to handle the case, he suspected that someone had died in Liufu. As soon as the words came out, he was shocked first, and immediately looked around in panic, taking two steps closer to Zhu Toujun.
Everyone else was also shocked by the second prince's words, and looked around in horror, Liu Qingyan also approached Mu Yirong with a nervous face: "Is there something going on here?"
Mu Yirong glanced at Seocho, who stood alone in a group of panicked people, and smiled to reassure everyone: "There is no case. It's just a domestic servant in Liufu, involved in a case, and I came to ask a few words. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, only Liu Qingyan stepped forward with a nervous face and asked: "Who is the person, what case is involved? Is it related to the murder case in Huanxianglou?"
Recently, there have been three murders in the capital, and when everyone heard this, a gossipy heart was all activated, and they pricked up their ears.
Mu Yirong smiled at everyone: "It's nothing, don't worry about it." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yixing and the two sisters in the second room: "It's not very safe to go to the capital during the day recently, it's better not to go out if you're fine, and go home early." ”
The two young ladies in the second room, Mu Zhaodi and Mu Zhaodi, came out to fish for the golden beetle, and seeing that the second prince of the golden turtle with 999 pure gold was in front of them, they hadn't shown their feathers yet, how could they leave.
The two pretended to whisper that Mufu was next door, and they would not wander around the street, and there would be no danger!
Mu Yixing was eager to go back quickly, and when he came out, his courage was frightened by the stupid and bold Ruicao again. As he spoke, he beckoned a few cousins back to their homes.
As a result, at this moment, suddenly a member of the Liufu family ran over in a panic, and hurriedly opened his mouth before he could catch his breath: "Mu ...... Wood Squire, no...... Oh no, that guy is dead. ”
Xiao Liuzi was Mu Yirong's subordinate who came to Liufu to interrogate, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly die, so he hurriedly asked the informant to take him over to have a look.
When the others heard that someone in Liufu had died, their eyes widened, and the bold ones immediately followed behind Mu Yirong to see the excitement.
The timid ones hesitated for a moment, and finally lost on the sentence "If there is excitement, you don't see it, you deserve to be poor", and followed behind everyone step by step.
Mu Yixing has always been very envious of his eldest brother working as an errand in Dali Temple, and is determined to enter Dali Temple sooner or later to be a case investigation attendant.
But he has a few cousins to take care of, and he can't take the girls to see the bloody scene, and he is most worried that Seocho, a stupid and bold boy who loves to flirt with cats and dogs when he has nothing to do, may come up with some moths.
As a result, when Mu Yixing hesitated, he was shocked to find that Seocho was no longer around, secretly scolded Seocho for causing trouble, and hurriedly took the two sisters Mu Zhaodi and Mu Zhaodi, who were full of horror and reluctance, to chase after everyone.
The Liufu family, who reported the news and led the way, took Mu Yirong and the others to the row house where the next person lived, and entered a hut where two people lived.
There was already a group of people at the door of the house who were watching the excitement, and when they saw Mu Yirong in official clothes coming, they hurriedly got out of the way.
When Mu Yirong walked to the door, he smelled a pungent smell of blood, he covered his nose with his sleeve, raised his legs across the threshold, and walked into the house, and the others also swarmed in.
Liu Qingyan, the eldest lady of Liufu, naturally followed behind Mu Yirong, and as soon as she entered the house, she immediately stretched out her hands to stop everyone: "Idle people, don't destroy the scene." ”
After speaking, she stepped forward by herself, leaned to Mu Yirong's side, raised her face and smiled and begged for praise.
Mu Yirong glanced at Liu Qingyan and didn't make a sound, and his eyes moved to Ruicao beside Liu Qingyan: "What are you doing here?"
Liu Qingyan didn't notice at all when Seocho appeared quietly like a ghost beside her, and was startled.
Seocho couldn't say that she was a little excited when she smelled blood, and she couldn't admit that she had to protect Liu Qingyan, the object of observation, and hesitated for a moment, the willow demons would become excited when they smelled blood, but if they wanted to become immortals, they had to restrain this natural shortcoming.
Seocho was secretly sighing that his cultivation was too shallow, and when Liu Qingyan saw that Seocho was silent, he immediately grabbed Seocho's arm and said to Mu Yirong happily: "Mu Gongzi, you forgot." Last time in Huanxianglou, I and the chivalrous girl helped you solve the case. This time, the two of us will also stay aside obediently, and will not disturb you, and will help you come up with ideas. ”
Mu Yirong glanced at Seocho and didn't speak, turned to look at Xiao Liuzi, who was sitting on the ground, with his back against the bed board, drooping his head, covered in blood.
Mu Yirong squatted down, stretched out his fingers on Xiao Liuzi's neck, his skin was cold to the touch, and there was no pulse.
The second prince, who came to see the excitement, didn't dare to step forward, but he was curious, and couldn't help but stretch his neck like a turtle and ask, "That guy, is he dead?"
Xiao Liuzi is completely dead, even if he comes to 800 imperial doctors, he can't save him. He drooped his head because the back of his neck was almost bitten off, and the flesh and skin were gnawed away by something, revealing deep white bones, which was very terrifying.
Liu Qingyan took a bold look at it, and immediately made a lofty statement: "It looks like he was bitten to death by a wild beast." ”
At this time, a few brave people stepped forward, and when they saw Xiao Liuzi's death, they all seemed to have found a crawling into the nest of a snake, shaking their arms and screaming "The monster has killed, the monster has killed", calling for the sky and grabbing the ground, and rushing out of the room with a roll. The few brave ones who were left were also huddled together with trembling legs and stomachs, keeping a safe distance from Xiao Liuzi's corpse, and staring at Mu Yirong, Ruicao and Liu Qingyan who were standing next to the corpse. If these three people make any trouble, they will be the first to flee!
Mu Yixing stiffened, tore off Mu Zhaodi and Mu Zhaodi's hands that were holding his arm, walked up to Mu Yirong tremblingly, and swallowed his saliva: "Brother, how did he die?"
"Didn't you say it, it was a monster who bit it to death!"
The second prince Xuanyuan Chen stretched his neck and spoke, in order not to fall into the name of a timid prince, he still stubbornly stayed here to die.
It's just that he is like an octopus holding Zhu Toujun to the death, and he is about to ride onto Zhu Toujun's body, so that Zhu Toujun, who has the heart to go forward to check the corpse, cannot move an inch.
Liu Qingyan couldn't look down on the second prince with eight eyeballs, so he replied angrily: "Where are there any monsters in this world, this look is done by wild beasts." ”
Seocho stared at the back of Xiao Liuzi's neck and looked at the neck of the white bones exposed for a while, and frowned: "It's not a beast." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and said in their hearts: Is it possible, is it really a monster?
Liu Qingyan looked at Seocho in puzzlement, and Seocho stretched out his hand and pointed to the tooth marks on the back of Xiao Liuzi's neck: "The big beast preys, and it will directly bite off his neck, it won't be just such a shallow gnawing trace." And if it is a small beast that can't be fatal with one blow, Xiao Liuzi will definitely resist, but looking at his body, there are no scars left, which shows that he was subdued first, and then ......"
Before Seocho's words were finished, Mu Yirong immediately answered: "I was disguised as a monster to kill people again, just like Huanxianglou before." ”
