In the early morning of the next day, everyone set off again. Because of the conversation last night, everyone speeded up significantly today. On the third, fourth, and fifth day at noon, everyone rushed to Laiyang County . >One≧Novel<<
Looking around, it is true that Laiyang County is much more prosperous than Qinghua County. However, when it comes to public security, it is unavoidably worse, but compared to Jinhua City, it is not known how much better.
Walking through the street, not long after, everyone arrived in front of the county government office. When the gatekeeper saw Uncle Song Yu come back, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Master Zhixian, you are back!"
"Yeah." Uncle Song Yu nodded, and then asked back: "It's Li San, while I'm away, is there any case in the county government?"
"This..." The official officer couldn't help trembling when he heard the words, hesitated for a while, and then replied with a bit of panic: "Returning to my lord, there is a case, and, or In the murder case, five people have died, two are servants of the adults, and two are maidservants beside the wife, and the last one is a brother from our county government. He also died there to investigate the case. In the garden."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Uncle Song Yu couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly asked again: "How could this be? Tell me everything you know."
Li Sanying said: "Returning to my lord, these three murders all took place in the back garden of the county government compound. Any other clues, besides, there is no scar on the body..."
This time, it was Uncle Song Yu's turn to tremble. When he asked the question, he couldn't help but tinge a little fear in his words: "Then...the three dead Is there any abnormality in the corpse?"
"That's not true." Li San responded, and quickly added: "However, this is because the master and his wife made a decision after discussion, because the deceased's condition is strange, and the corpse will inevitably change, so after the autopsy The next day, we burned the body of the deceased with peach wood..." He spoke in a softer voice, fearing that the county magistrate would be angry because of their presumptuous claims, but he never thought— —
"Huh—" I saw Uncle Song Yu let out a long breath, then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said repeatedly: "It's fine if it's burned, it's fine if it's burned... ....."
In normal times, if his wife and master advocated burning the body of the deceased, he would definitely be furious. However, after experiencing the corpse change of his sister Song Yuniang, the situation is naturally different. I don't want to face death threats with my wife, children, relatives and friends.
It was only when he regained his composure that he regained his composure, and apologized to Yan Chixia and Jiang Chen, "Hero Yan, Daoist Zhiqiu, I'm really sorry for neglecting you, just follow along." I'll go to the county government office to drink tea, and after you two have a rest, we'll start solving the case..."
"No need!" Yan Chixia interrupted the sentence before she finished speaking, "You can drink tea at any time, and you can also rest for a while. After that, let's hurry to the scene of the crime in the back garden to investigate. Find out, so that no more innocent people die for no reason."
Jiang Chen also said: "Hero Yan is right. The body has been burned, and the remaining clues are only at the crime scene. The sooner we go, the better."
"This..." After all, he is not a stupid official. After a little hesitation, Uncle Song Yu immediately responded: "In that case, then I will take the two of you to the back garden."
"My lord, don't do it!" Li San was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly stopped him: "That place is very strange, and your lord is a noble official of the imperial court. If you go there rashly, if you get hurt, what should you say to the little one The court confessed?"
"Explain?" Uncle Song Yu said coldly: "Nowadays there are successive murder cases in the county, and the source of the problem lies in the back garden of the county government compound. The imperial court has explained." While speaking, he immediately led the way, leading Yan Chixia and Jiang Chen to the back garden.
Along the way, I met many officials from the county government office. When I arrived at the backyard, there were many servants and maidservants. Under the leadership of Mrs. Song Yushu, they came to welcome Uncle Song Yu back to the mansion. However, inside and outside the county government office, no matter men or women Young and old, almost everyone looked terrified and fearful.
That's right, they all depend on this county government for their lives, but now there are frequent strange deaths in this county government, suspected to be evil spirits, how can they not be frightened by it?
The county government office is indeed very large. After passing through several corridors and double courtyards, all the people came to the back garden. In the garden, although no one cleaned and practiced, the flowers and plants in the garden were not messy, and the east and west clusters bloomed very beautifully.
"Dharma world, open Yin and Yang!"
Without rushing in rashly, Jiang Chen's incantation suddenly appeared, and his mana concentrated his eyes. Suddenly, the sky eyes opened, and two sharp eyes invisible to the naked eye saw through the boundary between yin and yang. They scanned the entire garden vertically and horizontally. All the things in it are all in detail:
Red, red light, dazzling red light, enveloped the entire garden. Wherever Jiang Chen looked, he could only see the huge garden, and everything was glowing with a dazzling red light, especially the garden in the middle. There, there is even a thick red light beam rising from the ground, piercing the sky and clouds. In the red light, one can vaguely see a shadow inside that is hovering and moving back and forth.
"Little brother, how are you doing?" Yan Chixia saw Jiang Chen unconsciously showing a bit of surprise on his face, and couldn't help asking, "What do you know?"
"Red light!" Jiang Chen replied in a deep voice, "The entire back garden is covered by a layer of red light, which looks very gorgeous, and even more so... weird."
When Yan Chixia heard the words, she couldn't help frowning. At that moment, without further ado, she cast a spell together, opened her eyes to yin and yang, and looked into the garden. Like being shocked, there was a bit of shock on his face unconsciously: "This...how is this possible?"
On the side, Uncle Song Yu is a mortal child after all, but although he cannot see the vision in the garden, he has also learned a lot of news from the shocked faces of Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia. He hurriedly asked: "Hero Yan, Daoist Zhiqiu, do you have any discoveries?"
Yan Chixia was shocked, and at this moment, she was pinching her fingers to calculate, so Jiang Chen replied in a deep voice: "It is true that there is something, but we are still not sure what is hidden in this garden. What a terrible existence, so, for the sake of safety, Mr. Song, please inform me to let the county government and people nearby move out first, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties. After we find out the problem in the garden, we will not come back again. Late."
"This..." After a moment of hesitation, Uncle Song Yu finally made a decision, and immediately greeted Li San and said, "Go and inform the master and wife immediately, and say that it is my order. Let them immediately organize the people in the county government and the surrounding people to move out temporarily."
"It's ~IndoMTL.com~ sir!" Although he had some doubts in his heart, Li San still complied and left. Obviously, Uncle Song Yu, the county magistrate, still has a lot of prestige.
After a while, Yan Chixia finally regained consciousness. He frowned and said, "It seems that things are more troublesome than we imagined. If my calculations are correct, there should have been a well in the back garden in the early years. Yes."
"Water well?" Uncle Song Yu frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and then he nodded and said in response: "Hero Yan's calculation is indeed good, because of the death of my sister Yu Niang, I have read about this well. According to the records of the county government, there used to be a well in the back garden, but later, for unknown reasons, it was buried, and if you calculate it carefully, it was at least twenty or thirty years ago.”
"Sure enough!" Yan Chixia's eyes lit up when she heard this.
On the side, Jiang Chen couldn't help but asked aloud: "What? Could it be that the matter is related to that well that has been buried for decades?"
"That's right!" Yan Chixia replied in a deep voice, "Moreover, it's not just related, it can even be said that everything here is related to that well..."( To be continued.)
