When the happy chick saw the dead body, her face turned pale, and she couldn't speak: "Here, here, how can there be dead people?"

Tang Yu protected himself with a knife and looked down.

The woman in white was lying on her back, stabbed in the lower abdomen, blood still gushing out. In addition, on her left chest, there was also a diamond-shaped dart pierced! Tang Yu was apprehensive, put away his knife and stepped forward, squatted down beside the woman, and carefully examined her pale face due to blood loss.

This is a girl about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

The skin is smooth and delicate, and the two dull eyes are half-open and half-closed.

The happy chick moved over, not daring to approach, and asked, "Little catcher, what should we do now?"

"Could this woman have been killed by those two ghost shadow people?" Tang Yu stood up and clapped his hands: "The top priority is to report to the government as soon as possible, block the scene, and wait for the state government to come and arrest it soon, so that it can be investigated." ”

"But who's going to tell the news?"

Tang Yu couldn't help it, and said, "I'm catching fast, so naturally I should go." ”

"What about me?" said the happy chick was horrified.

"You stay here to guard the corpse. ”

"I don't. ”

"What's so terrible about a dead man?"

"Then neither do I!"

Tang Yu looked at the little chick who was trembling a little in the dark night, frowned, and said, "Then I'll wait here, how about you go to Ying Tianfu to report the case?"

The chick is silent.

"You're talking, aren't you?"

Tang Yu urged.

A gust of wind blew, and there was a ruffle of brushing in the grass, and then a badger pig arched out. Looked around, shrugged and jumped over the garden wall over there!

The happy chick snorted, "I, I don't dare." ”

"What should I do then?" Tang Yu had nothing to do, a little annoyed, "Let you stay behind, you don't do it, now go back to the government along the same road to report to the government, but you still don't agree." Then what do you say, we can't just sit down here stupidly, right?"

"Shall we go back together?"

The happy chick had an idea and said: "Then you go back to the state to report the news, I will go home, everyone has their own place, everyone is happy, isn't this all the problem solved?"

Tang Yu was helpless, and said angrily: "You are really good, I have convinced you." ”

"It's so simple, it's just that you're too stupid to think of it. ”

"You're smart, you can do it, can you?"

Tang Yu turned around and searched the courtyard for a while, looking for two broken old reed mats. He walked up the bluestone steps, bent down, and covered the corpse of the strange woman with the old reed mat. The four corners were pressed with stones. After doing all this, Tang Yu stepped down and greeted the happy chick: "Let's go, my fox fairy lady." ”

The two men returned the way they came.

When he came to the place where the horse was tied in the forest, Tang Yu untied the reins, he let the little girl ride the horse, led it himself, and walked out of the woods step by step.

Back at Tonghui Bridge, the streets were empty.

Only the octagonal lights on the side of the road swayed in the wind.

Tang Yu sent the happy chick back to her house on Zhengyang Street, settled down, and then rode back to Yingtianfu, at this time the sky was already slightly bright.

On duty in the government were Xiang Jincheng and another catcher.

Seeing Tang Yu walking into the house with a gray and tired look, Xiang Jincheng was full of suspicion, his eyes rolled, and a strange brilliance suddenly flashed on his face: "Brother, it seems that you have been working hard this night!"

Tang Yu ignored him.

"Also, people don't be romantic. "Xiang Jincheng complained.

"Can you talk less nonsense. Tang Yu sat down, picked up the teapot on the table with both hands, and drank the overnight cold tea in it in one go. "Someone was killed, someone was killed. I want to find Feng and Cheng to catch heads?"

"Where's the murder?"

"The forest under the Tonghui Bridge. ”

"You dare to go there, it's not a small boldness. Xiang Jincheng sneered and said, "That forest is full of snakes and rats, and the miasma is very heavy, and you often get lost when you go in during the day." Even if a person escapes by chance, he becomes obsessed and loses his memory for no reason. Several people have died, and it is one of the most vicious places in the capital......"

"Why is this happening?" Tang Yu was stunned.

"I don't know. ”

"Also, Brother Xiang—" Tang Yu paused and recalled, "In the depths of that forest, there is an empty mansion with a gatekeeper courtyard, like a wealthy residence. But now it's deserted......"

Xiang Jincheng's gaze drooped: "Oh, I heard that at the beginning of the dynasty, it was an earl's mansion, and this person has the same surname as you, and his surname is Tang...... As for how it was abandoned, I don't know very well. Lao Lin has been on an errand in the capital for a long time, you can ask him......"

During the conversation, Cheng Liangjia and Feng Letai had already arrived at the errand room.

Tang Yu gave a general account of last night's events. Cheng Zhutou's face turned red, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Someone was killed, where did it happen, and what kind of person was the deceased?"

"A girl, unknown name. Tang Yu replied.

"How?"

"The deceased was hit with a hidden weapon in the left chest. But the fatal wound was in the abdomen, and he was stabbed to death by a knife......"

"Who did it?"

"It's not certain yet. ”

Feng Letai tightened his belt, hung up his saber, and said, "Lao Cheng, don't ask, go out of the scene immediately." ”

"Grandma, there is no clue about the disappearance of Shilipo, and there is another murder!" Cheng Liangjia was reluctant and scolded.

"Don't complain, human lives are at stake. ”

Feng Letai stopped dressed up and said, "If you don't want to go, sort out the relevant case materials at home, and I'll take someone there?"

From Yingtianfu Ya to Tonghui Bridge, you have to cross two main streets. After breakfast, it is the peak of citizens' travel, and the streets are bustling with traffic. Stuffed through the rain and rain. The catchers had no choice but to hold on to the reins and let them go slowly.

Tang Yu rode a horse, caught up with a few steps, and walked side by side with Feng Letai.

Feng Zhutou looked at him and said, "What about that little girl, is she okay, is she going home?"

"Hmm. ”

Feng Letai sighed and straightened up: "I didn't know that she was going to take you to that place yesterday, if I had known, I would have stopped it." The woods are not safe. ”

"It's not your fault, it's all my own recklessness. Tang Yu shook his head and said, "Feng Zhutou, I want to ask you about one thing, that is, how much do you know about the old mansion in the forest......"

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"I don't know. Anyway, inexplicably, I feel that this empty house has an inexplicable connection with us and the case. ”

"You've grown. Feng Letai praised and said, "It's a pity that I don't know much about that empty house. I used to be on an errand in Wuhu. If you want to know, you can ask the locals or consult the archives at the National History Museum......"

"It's fine. ”

The group arrived at Tonghui Bridge. The catchers turned over and dismounted, leaving behind a horse guarding apparatus, and the remaining twenty or so people were led by Tang Yu and went straight to the black pine forest through the wet grass.

Before coming to the empty house, Tang Yu didn't say a word, and walked up the bluestone steps. He pushed open the two creaky wooden doors, Feng Letai then entered, looked at it, and asked, "Tang Yu, where is the corpse?"

Tang Yu pointed to the door of the back hall: "Oh, over there." You can see it here. ”

The crowd quickly followed up, gathered together, and gossiped: "Is this desolate enough?"

"No, it's cloudy and windy in broad daylight!"

"Are there any snakes?"

"Well, I heard that this place is haunted in the middle of the night. ”

Tang Yu walked up the stone steps with a knife, bent down to check, and no one had touched the two old reed mats. Even the stones pressed at the corners seem to be the same. He reached out and lifted the mat—

Suddenly, his eyes widened, he took two steps back, and gasped in his mouth!

"What's wrong?" Feng Letai caught up.

"Hell yes. ”

Tang Yu's face was full of horror: "I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and I also checked it, this broken reed mat was still found and covered by me in the yard, and it was obviously a young girl......

As he spoke, he ripped off the covering.

Beneath the two old reed mats, there was a shriveled male corpse.
