Under the persecution of Xue Zhutou's blazing divine light, Chen Xiao had to be patient, and after reading the entire file, he felt a little strange in his heart for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
According to the dossier, the deceased in the gambling house murder case was named Pan Wuye, known as Pan Wuye, who was a famous scoundrel in Dongshi and a capable subordinate of Wu Kui, the owner of the gambling house.
According to the investigation, this Pan Wu was actually Wu Kui's illegitimate son, and before his death, he was cheating with Wu Kui's hidden concubine.
Moreover, in this murder case, not only Pan Wu died, but Wu Kui's concubine was also killed and skinned by the perpetrators.
It's just that after skinning, Pan Wu's body was dragged to the door of the gambling house by the perpetrator, and was found by a passing husband and reported the crime, while the body of Wu Kui's concubine was missing.
As for the two human skins, they were sewn together by the perpetrators and covered the bodies of Wu Kui and his wife in the main room, who were asleep.
Legend has it that the room was filled with a pungent smell of blood, but Wu Kui and his wife slept strangely and soundly, until the maid opened the door and let out a deafening scream, which woke them up.
Wu Kui's wife was frightened crazy by this bloody and terrifying scene on the spot, and Wu Kui, who had experienced countless bloody rains and bloody winds, was also frightened into a cold sweat.
After all, no one wants to die, and this elusive and undetectable perpetrator not only covered the two of them with a human skin, but also wrote a bloody message on the wall with blood 'Ten days later, take your life', which is simply a knife on Wu Kui's neck.
And the series of tricks of the perpetrators are all extremely weird and ruthless, which makes people shudder.
After reading the dossier, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes instantly turned to Xue Zhutou.
And Xue Zhutou also nodded with a very serious face, and said, "Yes, today is the tenth day." ā
As he spoke, Xue Zhutou had already taken the lead and walked out of the house, and after Chen Xiao carefully put the file on the bookcase, he also walked out.
Soon, the two came to a room in the post house, and after Xue Zhutou pushed the door open, a slightly panicked look immediately cast over.
"I've seen Xue Zhutou, Wu Kui is polite!" Wu Kui saw that it was Xue Zhutou, and immediately pretended to be calm.
Xue Zhutou snorted coldly, obviously if it weren't for the needs of the case, a person like Wu Kui, Xue Zhutou would definitely see one by one, how could he be so free.
But at this time, Xue Zhutou had to remind coldly: "Wu Kui, don't blame me for not reminding you, today is the tenth day, all clothes and food must be checked by the catcher before you can come into contact, you have to be more careful in everything, don't know the way of others, remember?"
"Thank you Xue Zhutou for your concern, if you can survive today, Wu Mou will definitely thank you again!" Wu Kui responded with a fist.
"No need, you can do it yourself!" Xue Zhutou snorted coldly again, and left the room with Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao, help me watch Wu Kui, don't let him have an accident!" After going out, Xue Zhutou immediately ordered.
Chen Xiao was stunned when he heard this, thinking that I am an apprentice, but you let me do what I should do quickly, what is the reason?
I didn't want Chen Xiao to think about it, Xue Zhutou had disappeared, and a catcher came over with a set of clean and tidy trapping clothes and handed it to Chen Xiao, which made Chen Xiao couldn't help but be very stunned.
After a cup of tea, Chen Xiao, who was dressed in a capable trapping suit, went out, and after receiving the gold-patterned knife from a catcher, he was arranged to hide closer to the door of Wu Kui's room, waiting for the perpetrator to enter the urn.
The wait was the whole night, and there was no wind or grass in between.
This made Chen Xiao, who had been nervous all night, feel like a punch was thrown into the air, not only did he not hit anyone, but he also flashed his 'waist', not to mention how depressed he was.
At this moment, the maid who was assigned to serve Wu Kui pushed open the door and suddenly let out a scream of 'ah', which woke up the slightly sleepy catcher who was about to wake up.
The crowd hurriedly gathered around them, and found that Wu Kui, who was staying quietly in the room, was bleeding from the bed at this time.
A catcher stepped forward to touch his nose and found that Wu Kui had been dead for a long time.
After a stick of incense passed, Chen Xiao patiently inspected the corpse with Lu Chengzuo, and Lu Cheng said: "Lord Xue, it is a mixed poison. ā
While speaking, Lu Yanzuo picked up a talisman on Wu Kui's body and gave Xue Zhutou a look.
Xue Zhutou nodded with a sinking face, couldn't help but snort angrily, and then brushed his sleeves and left.
It turned out that this so-called ten-day covenant was just a trap designed by the perpetrators a long time ago, and the purpose was to allow Wu Kui to stay in a relatively confined space in peace, so that the effect of the poison could be better.
According to the investigation afterwards, the rosemary in this mixture was smeared on human skin, and Wu Kui inhaled a lot in the room groggily at that time, and there was a hidden danger here.
As for the talisman, it was as early as half a month ago, when Wu Kui accompanied his wife to the Luminous Temple to offer incense, the murderer pretended to be a fortune teller and handed it over to Wu Kui with coaxing and fright.
Wu Kui was skeptical at the time, thinking that he could have any bloody disaster, but after the appearance of the Ten Day Covenant, this amulet was regarded by Wu Kui as a life-saving straw and was always worn on his body, but he didn't want to be actually the king of Hades.
The amulet is coated with colorless and odorless mushroom juice, which can easily evaporate once worn in a closed environment.
When inhaled by Wu Kui, who inhaled rosemary, it became a life-threatening chronic mixture, and ten days was a period of death.
Thinking about it this way, the arrester of the Luochuan County Ya inadvertently became an accomplice to the murderer, which made Xue Zhutou lose face for a while, and after Wu Kui's death, the only clue left was the Luminous Temple.
So, Xue Zhutou personally led the team and led a large number of catchers to rush to the Luminous Temple fifteen miles outside Luyang Town.
In this operation, due to Chen Xiao's repeated requests, Xue Zhutou had no choice but to take him.
After arriving at the Luminous Temple, Xue Zhutou sprinkled a large number of people and patiently searched every inch of land in the temple, and the monks in the temple did not let go of all of them, and asked them one by one, but the final result was nothing, which made the mood of the crowd hunt fast for a while.
During the interrogation, Chen Xiao spent most of his time by Xue Zhutou's side, pretending to interrogate the abbot of the Luminous Temple with Xue Zhutou, but in fact, he was secretly observing the words and deeds of each of them.
The more he observed, the tighter Chen Xiao's brows wrinkled, and he always felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, a catcher came to report that the perpetrator had once again left a bloody note.
This made Xue Zhutou immediately order to abandon the search that was almost over, and hurried back to Luyang Town, and after entering the room where Wu Kui was guarded, there was indeed a line of blood on the wall.
"Ten days later, Master Zhao will die!"
This couldn't help but cause Xue Zhutou's face to change greatly!
