Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1017: The dead don’t lie
Zuan put away the note: "Six members of Duke Yunzhong's personal bodyguard class later died in the line of duty. I asked my staff to investigate their respective circumstances."
"There is nothing suspicious about the deaths of three of them, and their bodies have been identified. However, the deaths of the other three are somewhat strange."
"What's wrong?" Pei Mianman asked curiously.
Zuan explained: "For example, one of them was besieged by the demon clan, and finally his head was beheaded by a knife. In the end, his colleagues only recovered a headless body."
"Another went to investigate a case of smuggling medicinal materials, but the warehouse that was finally found caught fire, and the whole person was burned to coke."
"There is another person who was sucked by the evil spirits and blood, leaving only a mummified corpse."
Pei Mianman is a smart person, and immediately reacted: "These people have one thing in common, that is, their identities are difficult to identify."
"That's right!" Zaun nodded. "I suspect that some people are using these methods to steal the boat. Those corpses may not be his own."
"But how to verify this thing?" Pei Mianman was a little worried, "After all, the identities of those people are no longer recognizable."
"A person who comes into this world will inevitably leave various traces. Even the most meticulous murderer will leave unnoticed flaws," Zuan said after a pause, "not to mention that living people may lie, but The dead don't."
Pei Mianman's beauty changed slightly: "You shouldn't be..."
Zuan smiled and nodded: "Beauty, I have nothing to do now. Would you be interested in accompany me to the cemetery outside the city on a date?"
"Bah, which normal person would go to the cemetery for a date." After all, Pei Mianman was a woman, so she instinctively refused when she heard such a thing.
Zuan also knew that it was a bit difficult for her: "Well, you go home and rest first, and I will come back to you after I finish my business."
Pei Mianman was struggling, but after all, she was reluctant to part with her lover: "No, I'll go with you."
Isn't that home a grave to her?
It's not home where you can be with your sweetheart.
Zuan was also a little reluctant to part with her, holding her hand and laughing: "It's okay, our husband and wife are together, and we can break the gold."
"Who and you are husband and wife?" Pei Mianman was furious, but in the end he let him hold it.
Zuan took advantage of the situation and got on his horse: "The cemetery is outside the city, there is still some distance from here, it is more convenient for us to ride there."
As he spoke, he patted himself in front of him, motioning her to sit up.
Pei Mianman's face was a little red. If it was only in private, she would naturally sit up and cheer, but now that there are people coming and going in the city, sitting in his arms like this is too flamboyant.
She is not known to everyone in Yunzhong County, but her outstanding appearance and the identity of Miss Pei's family can be considered a lot of fame.
So she tiptoed and sat directly behind Zaun.
"Hold on," Zaun reminded.
Pei Mianman pursed her lips, not to mention holding him in private, she was absolutely willing to do other things, but now on the street, she hugs other men's waists by herself, a girl's reserved Let her still have some concerns.
"Driving!" Who knew that when Zaan caught his belly, the horses galloped out.
Pei Mianman's center of gravity was unsteady, and she almost fell to the back. Fortunately, she had a high level of cultivation, and she immediately reacted. She put an arm around Zaan's waist and stabilized her figure again.
Feeling the impact of the opponent hitting him, Zaan's expression suddenly became a little weird, Da Manman really deserves to be Da Manman.
"You did it on purpose." Pei Mianman slapped him on the back angrily, but unfortunately he was reluctant to use it.
Zuan laughed, flung the reins, and ran all the way out of the city.
Beauty with a BMW is indeed a great joy in the world.
"Hey, slow... Slow down, I can't take it anymore." Pei Mianman was about to be knocked down several times after sitting in the back, so he could only hug the other person's waist tightly.
"The soldiers are very fast. Recently, I started to investigate these guards. The forces hiding in the dark may have been alert. I am worried that they will be troublesome if they destroy the corpses and destroy them." Zaan explained.
"Oh~" At this moment, Pei Mianman was clinging tightly to the other person's body. Although she was wearing clothes, she could still feel the warmth and warmth of the other person's broad and thick back. She suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind. .
She only felt that her heart was full of happiness. This is the picture she once fantasized about riding a horse and galloping with her sweetheart, but she didn't expect it to come true.
"Azu, do you know why I came to see you today?" Pei Mianman's face was pressed against his back, and it felt really good to have someone in front to block the wind and snow for him.
"Isn't it because you missed me?" Zaun replied with a smile.
"Hmph, that's just one aspect," Pei Mianman didn't feel embarrassed this time. "The other aspect is that Prince Qi wants to know how far your investigation is."
"Oh?" Zu An raised his eyebrows, listening to Pei Mianman's general introduction to Zhao Zhi's visit, he couldn't help sighing, "Do men in this world have problems with their brains, why do they like to send fiancee? to other men."
In his mind, Sang Qian's unfortunate reminder came to mind, but now that he has become his cheap brother-in-law, he is not too embarrassed to insult him.
But he still likes this kind of behavior, thinking that the more people he meets in the future, the better.
Don't take pity on me because I'm a sweet flower, everything comes at me, let them ravage me hard.
"Bah, who is his fiancee? I never agreed." Pei Mianman bit the other side a little embarrassedly.
"Of course you are my woman, Zhao Zhi's toad wants to eat swan meat, this time let him know what it means to lose his wife and lose his army." Zaan laughed.
Pei Mianman always felt that the other party's words sounded strange, but when he heard his rhetoric claiming that he was his woman, he hugged him like that and stopped talking.
Zuan felt that his whole body seemed to be leaning on a ball of cotton along the way. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that those who rode motorcycles with women in the previous life let them sit in the back, but he just subconsciously asked Pei Mianman to sit in the front. Young.
In this way, the two are immersed in their own emotions, and neither of them wants to break this beautiful feeling.
Unconsciously, I came to the suburban cemetery. Although this world is big, it is not that you can bury it wherever you want, because the land is probably not yours.
The vast majority of ordinary people have insufficient land to grow food. In a disaster year, it is very likely that the land will be annexed by the landlord because the borrowed money is not enough.
The government often allocates a piece of wasteland to many people who can't find a burial place, but such people often have no one in their family. , this wasteland will form mass graves.
As the confidant guards of Duke Yunzhong, their treatment is obviously much better.
In his own fief, Duke Yunzhong specially allocated a piece of land to bury his subordinates who died in the line of duty. Although he has disappeared, the system has continued to be implemented very well.
There are also various pine and cypress trees planted nearby, and various flowers are also dotted. Of course, there are naturally no flowers in the cold winter season.
The cemetery also has a gatekeeper, who trims the number of flowers and plants on weekdays to prevent wild animals from coming in and destroying the cemetery.
It's just that on such a snowy day, they all hid in their rooms to keep warm, so how could they come out to investigate.
Zuan and the two easily entered the cemetery and found the tombs of the guards according to the information given by their subordinates.
"Are you really going to dig a grave?" Pei Mianman turned around unnaturally, the road was too bumpy just now, and the two were close to each other, she was still numb now. I don't want to be seen by the other party to be embarrassed.
Zuan hummed: "You stand by and I'll do it."
Pei Mianman opened his mouth and wanted to say that I was here to help, but thinking about what the other party was going to do, he dismissed the idea.
"Everyone, I'm not bothering you sincerely, but I want to give you some justice. After all, someone really hurt you, you don't want to die like this..." Zuan took out a few sticks of incense that he had prepared for a few people. After a ceremony, it started to act.
This is a world of cultivation. Everyone is a humanoid excavator. Digging graves is not as troublesome as you think.
Soon a coffin leaked out, "This man's name is Cheng Ba, he was ambushed by the demon clan, and his head was beheaded."
While speaking, the lid of the coffin was removed, and a stench filled the air.
"Be careful of corpse poison." Pei Mianman on the side pointed a finger, and a wisp of black flame brushed past, burning the poisonous gas clean.
"It's up to you to be attentive." Zaun smiled before beginning to examine the bones inside.
Indeed only the skeleton of the body, the head was replaced by a wooden sculpture.
Although the other party has been dead for several months, the weather in Yunzhong County is cold and his body has not turned into bones.
"The head is gone, what can I see?" Pei Mianman covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and handed Zaan one.
If it wasn't for her lover, she would never stay in a place like this.
