Chapter 44: The Dead and the Rebels

After the cold dew, it is late autumn.

In the crisp autumn season, Zhou Xiuchun took a reclining chair and lay comfortably in the shade of a tree that I don't know what it was, basking in the afternoon sun, leisurely and lazily enjoying a good time.

Zhou Xiuchun finally got his wish and became a glorious civil servant. The moment he put on the official uniform, he obviously felt that there was an extra strange power in his body, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be the Confucian righteousness that Yan Chixia told him, more precisely, the evil qi of the martial artist.

In the three days since joining the company, Zhou Xiuchun has almost been in a state of idleness, and the only job every day is to come over and order.

If the days are too idle, people will inevitably have to think crankily.

Zhou Xiuchun casually pulled up a weed on the ground, instinctively refining a rejuvenation pill in the ring, and couldn't help but think of Bai Zhi's chick again.

"Chick, chick, where have you been?" Zhou Xiuchun muttered, turned over from the recliner and sat up, and yelled, "Someone!"

A thin figure hurriedly came out of the house, trotted to Zhou Xiuchun, and said respectfully: "My lord, what do you command?"

"Pen and ink waiting. ”

The petty officials from Jiupin are very quick, and Zhou Xiuchun prepared everything in three or two clicks.

Zhou Xiuchun put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth in front of the desk, and said, "I said, you write." ”

When the junior official picked up the pen, he heard Zhou Xiuchun say slowly: "Looking for a notice." Bai Zhi, female, twenty-eight years old. Physical characteristics: white skin, beautiful temperament, long legs, thin waist, big chest, extremely strong martial arts. If you see this person, you can report it to the Six Doors Detective Division, and you will be grateful. The general public of Beijing is welcome to provide clues. Six Doors Detective Division, August 22. ”

The junior official put down his pen and asked Zhou Xiuchun: "My lord, what did this woman do?"

Zhou Xiuchun said in a deep voice: "She is a thief. ”

The junior official was curious: "Jiang Yang thief?"

"It's not. Zhou Xiuchun shook her head, "But she stole something very important from me." ”

"What?"

"She stole my heart. ”

“......”

“......”

"My lord, public power cannot be used privately. Especially if you are still used to pick up girls, if the Jinyi guard knows about it, he will directly arrest you and hang you at the gate of the city to show the public, and there is no room for negotiation. ”

Zhou Xiuchun thought about the possible consequences of posting this notice, coughed lightly, covered up the embarrassment, and changed his words: "Then don't post it, just notify it verbally internally, and let those brothers who are on a business trip help me pay attention to it." ”

After cleaning up the desk for a while, an excited voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Zhou, there is finally another person who has died strangely today, you hurry up and take a look!"

Xiahou Ba and several servants carried a coffin without a lid into the courtyard and put the coffin on the ground.

Zhou Xiuchun has traveled for so long, but he is used to seeing dead people, although he is still inevitably slightly hairy, but he is still not out of shape. He walked to the coffin, glanced inside quickly, and saw that the corpse was peaceful, so he forced out a smile and said, "It's normal, what's strange?"

Xiahou Ba shook his head and said, "I'll let him sit up, and you'll know what's going on!" He picked up the corpse, supported the corpse's back with two hands, and said, "Brother Zhou, come over and take a look at me." ”

Zhou Xiuchun held his breath, walked to the back of the corpse, looked at it, and saw the big mouth behind the corpse and the empty shell that was eaten, his stomach twitched twice, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Damn, centipede essence!"

"Centipede Essence?" Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Zhou, why do you conclude that it is a Centipede Essence?"

Because I've watched the second part......

Zhou Xiuchun walked a few steps away, took a deep breath with his back to the corpse, suppressed the vomiting sensation, and after brewing for two seconds, he began to break it blindly: "The monsters in this world who like to eat human flesh must be carnivores. Among the carnivores, the only ones that can burrow into the human body and eat all the internal organs and spinal bones at the same time are insects. ”

Xiahou said domineeringly: "But there are many types of insects, why do you conclude that it is a centipede essence?"

Zhou Xiuchun looked back at the corpse again, and reacted very quickly: "Because of the limbs of the deceased." ”

"Limbs?" Xiahou Ba looked puzzled.

Zhou Xiuchun nodded and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you find that the limbs of the deceased were very complete?"

"So what?"

Zhou Xiuchun said: "The limbs of the corpse are sound, but the internal organs and spine bones are missing, from the perspective of criminal psychology, the murderer deliberately did not eat the limbs, and the greatest possibility is that it disdains to eat." It's like a real tyrant, all of them are heroes who treat money like dung. So I guess this harmful monster must have a lot of hands and feet. And one more thing, why do youkai eat hard and useless spinal bones? Eat bones directly, but can't directly supplement calcium!"

Xiahou Ba was completely confused, and said, "Yes, since it's completely useless, why do you want to eat it?"

"Shape. Zhou Xiuchun became more and more energetic, completely entered the state, and said, "For ordinary insects, the vertebral bones are indeed useless, but for centipedes, which are long-shaped insects, eating the vertebral bones can just complement the form and increase the strength." ”

Xiahouba's eyes lit up, he held Zhou Xiuchun's hand excitedly, and said tremblingly: "Brother Zhou, you are really a genius in this business!"

Zhou Xiuchun said indifferently: "Brother Xiahou, don't engage in personality cults, I just look at the world on the shoulders of giants." ”

Xiahou Ba was still excited: "Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, in order to investigate this case, the brothers of our Investigation Department have almost died these days. But now that we have a direction, finding the monster who committed the crime is just around the corner!"

Zhou Xiuchun asked with a gloomy face, "You mean, I still have to be responsible for arresting the murderer?"

Xiahou Ba said as a matter of course: "This is the clue you deduced, of course you have to continue to investigate!"

"Two adults, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue investigating this case in the next few days. The junior official of Jiupin, who was standing aside and had no sense of existence, suddenly spoke at this time.

Xiahou Ba looked at him strangely and asked, "Why?"

The junior official said: "Before lunch, I went to the superintendent to receive an official document, which said that this morning, the emperor has ordered the execution of Chen Ping'an, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, on the charge of inciting rebellion, and the execution time will be at noon tomorrow. So according to the usual practice, all of our six doors have to be dispatched to take care of tomorrow's order. ”

Zhou Xiuchun exclaimed: "That old man is going to be beheaded?"

The junior official of Jiupin asked, "Lord Zhou, are you very familiar with this chaotic party?"

"I don't know it, I don't know it!" Zhou Xiuchun shook his head violently, "I haven't even heard of it!"
