Early the next morning, the rain did not stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At the beginning of the hour, Su Zhuo got up and got out of bed. He has developed a habit over the years, but he doesn't like to sleep much. The inn was deserted, and no one got up.

He freshened up and opened the door. A refreshing breath greets you and makes you feel refreshed. Su Zhuo took a few puffs, but frowned slightly. He seemed to smell a strange smell, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he smiled: "Suspicious and suspicious......"

Outside the porch, it had turned into a drizzle, and everything seemed wet. Su Zhuo caught a glimpse of a soldier sitting on the ground at the corner of the cloister, leaning on the railing and sleeping soundly. He recognized this person as the person who laughed at Hu Guang last night, his name seemed to be Lin Dong, and he was in charge of keeping vigil at night.

Su Zhuo shook his head, unwilling to wake up others, and tiptoed downstairs. I happened to see Zhu Niang yawning and coming out of a door behind the counter.

When Zhu Niang saw Su Zhuo, she was slightly stunned, and said, "The guest officer is so early!"

Su Zhuo smiled: "I'm used to it." Hostess, there is boiling water, make me a pot of tea. ”

Zhu Niang was a little apologetic and said, "Ouch, the guest officer can't help it, this fire hasn't been lit yet." My family has just gotten up, and I'm going to the woodshed to chop firewood. ”

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll wait." ”

As the two were talking, they heard a scream of "ah". Zhu Niang's face changed, and she heard that it was the voice of the shopkeeper Chen, which came from the firewood shed. Zhu Niang scolded loudly: "You are going to die!" and hurried to the firewood shed.

Su Zhuo heard this cry terrible, and his heart suddenly shook, and he also followed behind Zhu Niang. The two walked through an aisle, which was exactly where Shopkeeper Chen and Xiao Wuzi walked back to the lobby from the stable yesterday. The aisle was dim, and Xiao Wuzi stood in the middle with sleepy eyes, and said, "What's the matter? It's noisy early in the morning?" It turned out that there was a small cubicle in this aisle, and a curtain was hung, and Xiao Wuzi slept here.

Zhu Niang ignored him, pushed the door open, and suddenly opened her eyes. It turned out that there was an open space outside the door, and a few bamboo sheds were built as horse sheds and firewood sheds. I saw that the shopkeeper Chen was wearing a robe, which was tightly covered, but he collapsed to the ground. He was facing the wood shed, and the ground in front of him was a pool of blood, washed by the rain, flowing everywhere, and turning pale red.

Seeing this scene, several people gasped. Zhu Niang said in a trembling voice: "What...... What's going on?"

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the firewood shed, and several people looked at him, only to see a person lying on his stomach at the door of the firewood shed, motionless, not knowing life or death. That's where the blood flowed. Shopkeeper Chen was as timid as a mouse, and he was already too frightened to stand up, and he was trembling all over. Zhu Niang was bold, and cautiously moved a few steps forward, wanting to see who that person was.

Su Zhuo stopped Zhu Niang and Xiao Wuzi, and looked around the ground with his eyes. He had already seen that the man was dressed in the official mansion, and he was an official soldier. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, motionless, his body was already soaked, and he was afraid that he was dead. He was afraid that Zhu Niang and Xiao Wuzi would rush forward and leave footprints, so he stretched out his hand to stop them.

Su Zhuo didn't say a word, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were focused, he searched for something on the ground, and went all the way to the firewood shed. Zhu Niang and the others saw that he was strange and a little strange, but they didn't dare to step forward, so they had to let Su Zhuo go.

The commotion just now had already woken up everyone in the upstairs guest room. One person pushed open the window on the second floor and scolded: "It's early in the morning, what's the noise!"

Su Zhuo looked up, it was a room in the corner of the second floor, and it was Qian Leopard who was shouting. His vision was blocked by the roof of the wood shed, and he could not see the dead bodies on the ground. Xiao Wuzi said in a trembling voice: "Death...... Dead man......"

Although his voice was not loud, Qian Leopard heard it, his face changed, and he hurriedly shrank his head and went back to the house. After a while, there was a commotion in the inn. All the people living on the second floor got up, and before they had time to wash, they all gathered in the open space. Wu Chang and the Feng brothers and sisters did not dare to step forward and watched from afar. The officers and soldiers gathered in front.

Su Zhuo had already squatted next to the corpse and looked at it carefully. The corpse was face down, Su Zhuo didn't touch him, and he didn't know who it was. I saw that the back of the corpse's head had been broken, and the brain had burst out, and it was from there that the blood flowed. The blood on the back of the corpse's head had solidified, and the whole body was soaked with clothes, although most of the body was protected from the rain by a grass hut, it was still soaked, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.

Jiang Kui separated from the others, strode forward, and when he saw the corpse, he was dumbfounded, and when he saw Su Zhuo squatting in front of him, he pushed him away and shouted, "Who are you? Take it down for me!"

The two people behind him stepped up in response and pressed Su Zhuo's shoulders. Only then did Su Zhuo come back to his senses and said, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Kui ignored him, squatted down, and turned the body over, it turned out to be Hu Guang! Everyone gasped, but Su Zhuo seemed to suddenly realize, and said to himself: "Sure enough, it's him!"

When Jiang Kui heard this, he got up and faced Su Zhuo, and said coldly: "What did you say? Could it be that you killed Hu Guang?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "No." ”

Jiang Kui said: "Then why do you say it's really him?"

Su Zhuo said: "I didn't turn over the corpse just now, but I can probably guess that the deceased is Hu Guang." Because the footprints on the ground are proof!"

Jiang Kui was stunned for a moment and said, "Footprints?" Everyone lowered their heads to look at the footprints on the ground. But a piece of ground was already muddy, and it had been trampled on by everyone.

Su Zhuo broke free from the two of them and said, "When I arrived here with Zhu Niang, the scene had not been destroyed, and there was only a line of footprints on the ground. As he spoke, he moved a few feet away from the woodshed and pointed to the ground. No one has walked here, and a row of square prints can be faintly seen.

Someone wondered, "How can this be a footprint?"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "How is it impossible?" Since the middle of the night yesterday, the rain has become lighter, but the soil here is very thin, and it is not easy to leave footprints until this moment. But Hu Guang's footprints are different from others. Just because his left leg was injured, his right leg had to exert more strength to walk, so the footprint on his right foot was deeper than normal. Yesterday's rain soaked the mud, and the hard soles of the official boots he was wearing left such a line of marks. ”

Everyone went to see it again as he said, and it was not bad at all. Su Zhuo said again: "The sole of the corpse's right foot is stained with a thick layer of soil, but the soil on the left foot is not thick, which is also proof." ”

Jiang Kui heard what he said, and he also believed it for seven or eight points, and said loudly: "Who found the body first?"

Shopkeeper Chen raised a hand in a cowing manner and said in a low voice, "I...... It's ...... me."

Jiang Kui said fiercely: "Come on, take him down too!"

Shopkeeper Chen was frightened by him, and collapsed on the ground again, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even speak. Zhu Niang said in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, this is not a ...... Our...... What's the matter...... Our ...... Timid...... I don't dare to kill anyone if I borrow a hundred of his guts......"

Jiang Kui looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper Chen, he had long been disdainful in his heart, and he didn't believe that such a person could kill Hu Guang, who was five big and three coarse, snorted and said: "It has nothing to do with you, I don't have the final say, let's take it first!"

Suddenly, one of the officers and soldiers shouted, "The evil spirit is asking for his life...... The devil is asking for his life!" he shouted and ran out.

Jiang Kui "snorted" and shouted: "Tang Renjie, Yang Shuhua, hold Li Jin down!" The two of them left in response, but Li Jin seemed to be frightened stupidly, no matter how others persuaded him, he just shouted "evil ghost".

Su Zhuo ignored the others, walked to the corpse, and pinched and pressed it with his hand. Qian Leopard shouted: "What are you doing!"
