Chapter 10: Li Gongfu
Chapter 9 is changed to three
A farce ended, and everyone gradually dispersed, although Xu Xian and the others were amazed by Jiaona's beauty and felt a little pantothenic, they still left Qiao Chenan and the two of them a space to be alone.
Although Qiao Chenan guessed the riddle of the three lanterns, but only took one in the end, the lantern riddle stall owner was naturally grateful, although he still lost dozens of yuan, but it was within an acceptable range.
The moonlight is like a match, the stars are like silver jade, accompanied by the breeze, the lights are continuous, the clouds and shadows are stacked, and it is better than the world.
"I didn't see it, the famous Qiao Dacai actually has a stingy time!"
Jiao Na smiled, her beautiful eyes were narrow and narrow, slightly closed, and there were thousands of charms and charms contained in them.
Qiao Chen moved with peace of mind, for some reason, he always felt that the woman in front of him was full of charm and charm in every move, but he didn't have that sense of artificiality, as if he was born like this, maybe it was his own illusion, he spread his hands and smiled: "That guy is pressing step by step, even a man can't bear it!"
When Jiao Na heard him say so bluntly, she couldn't help but laugh, and felt more and more that the person next to her was interesting, even if it wasn't the person she was looking for, it was worth befriending.
Qiao Chenan lifted the lantern in his hand, handed it to Jiaona, and said, "I've sent you!"
"Send me?"
Jiao Na was slightly stunned, her eyes flowed, as if she wanted to see something from Qiao Chen'an's face, but she saw that his expression was calm, and his eyes were warm, as if this was just a natural move.
With a shallow smile, he gently took the lantern from his hand, and the beige light diffused through the lampshade, exuding a small warmth, only to see that there were seven or eight red roses depicted on it, the brushwork was delicate, and it was blooming brilliantly.
It seemed to be the first gift she'd ever received as a human being!
"Sister, sister......"
I heard a person's shout from a distance, and Huangfu Xuan, who didn't know where to go, appeared in front of the two again, a pair of black eyes turned, looked at the lantern in Jiaona's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaona, it's not early, let's go home!"
Jiao Na glared at Huangfu Xuan imperceptibly with a pair of wonderful eyes, and then turned her head to look at Qiao Chen'an, and said, "Young Master Qiao, it's getting late, Xuan'er and I will go back!"
......
After saying goodbye to the two, Qiao Chenan planned to return home, but after walking two steps, he heard someone shouting: "Die...... Dead man!"
"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts!"
The shouts echoed in the lantern festival, and there was a sudden chaos on the street, Qiao Chen was curious in peace of mind, and took the initiative to walk in the direction where the sound came from, and when he arrived, he found that a group of people had gathered there, and several county officials were investigating the situation.
The place of the accident was in a dark alley, and the body had been carried out, only to see that the man's body was bleeding profusely, and he didn't know how many openings, he had become a bloody man, and the clothes on his chest were torn open, revealing the bloody scene in it.
The heart is gone, and the scene is bloody.
A young catcher quickly examined the corpse, came to the first of several people, and said: "Li Tou'er, the human heart is gone, and the corpse still has a bit of heat, it seems that the murderer has just committed the crime, and he should not have run far yet......."
Qiao Chen'an saw that the person headed by him was tall, with a Chinese face, but he was wearing head-catching clothes, combined with the words of the little catcher just now, his heart moved, could this be Xu Xian's brother-in-law Li Gongfu?
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Li Gongfu frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at a man in his forties beside him and asked, "You just said that there is a ghost, what the hell is going on!"
The man's face turned pale, and when he heard his words, his body trembled violently before he said, "Almost bad...... Master, when the villain passed by here just now, he saw a black shadow with a height of one foot and a man's arm attached to the person's back...... So the villain guessed that it was...... The hell did it!"
"Nonsense!"
Li Gongfu shouted: "There are no ghosts in this world, it must be that you are dizzy and mistaken, don't give me nonsense everywhere, do you hear!"
"Yes, yes......" the man nodded busily.
Li Gongfu said to a few people behind him: "You guys, hurry up and take a look around to see if there are any suspicious characters! You two, carry the body to the county office!"
A few people took the order, and Li Gongfu looked at the onlookers again, and said comfortingly: "All the neighbors are scattered, there is nothing to see, we will definitely arrest the murderer!"
Everyone left one by one, Qiao Chenan frowned slightly, but he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably in his heart, and he was noncommittal to Li Gongfu's words, there are ghosts and gods in this world, and it is far from being so peaceful as it appears on the surface, even if there are evil ghosts, it is normal.
Thinking of this, Qiao Chenan suddenly had a sense of urgency to improve his strength, in such a world, maybe he would encounter gods and monsters and other anomalies at any time, if his strength was insufficient, I am afraid that he would not even have a chance to resist.
It's just that the matter of seeking the Tao is gradual, and the most taboo is the word 'urgent', and he has no good way.
Qiao Chenan originally thought that the murder case would end here, but he didn't expect that in the next few days, several lives were lost in Qiantang County, and everyone's death method was surprisingly the same, and the heart was dug out by someone!
For a time, rumors spread in Qiantang County, and the news of ghosts and ghosts harming people spread far and wide, making people panic, and at night almost every house was closed, and every household turned off the lights, and the lively Qiantang in the past became like a dead city!
......
In the Qiantang County Ya, the county magistrate sat in the hall and shouted at a person standing under the hall: "Gongfu Li, this government has limited you to solve the case within seven days, otherwise you will take off this official uniform!"
Li Gongfu frowned and said: "My lord, can you give some more grace, the murderer's whereabouts are uncertain, the crime did not leave the slightest loophole, and the case will be solved within seven days, the time is too short!"
The magistrate snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, this matter has already alarmed the above, if you can't solve the case, this government will not be able to protect you, and you can only be punished for the crime of ineffective handling of the case!"
With that, he turned around and entered the inner hall.
Li Gongfu stood alone in the empty county hall and felt very depressed in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "Phew, what the fuck is this bullshit...... If you have any credit, you will take it from yourself, and if something happens, you will push it on your subordinates!"
Suddenly, a catcher ran in from outside the county office, and said with a smile: "Boss, the matchmaker in the east of the city is looking for you, saying that she has a family affair ......."
Li Gongfu sighed lightly, tightened the saber on his waist, and said, "Let's go!"
