Chapter 54: Visiting the Magistrate's Office at Night (4)

Seeing this, Zhu Qingsheng immediately thought of the man in black who had killed no blood. He had a silver needle and no trace of the murder. The man in black had done the case seven years ago and another case a few days ago. The death of these three eunuchs might be his actions again.

But why did he repeatedly murder human life? Even the eunuchs didn't let it go.

But after all, I just thought about it and didn't make sure. Zhu Qingsheng thought about the method of Master's examination of the body, which could be used to test it, but he was worried. He pressed his fingertips against his temples and used true power to hook the silver needles in his brain. Although the master told him, this method controls the true power extremely strictly and accurately. With his current skills, let alone using true power to hook the silver needles in his brain, he couldn't even hook the silver needles in front of him.

Zhu Qingsheng looked down at the dead man lying in the coffin with a blue and cold face, and his scalp was numb. However, this trip was to find out the cause of the death of these three eunuchs, so how could he retreat in the end?

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son? You will fight!

Zhu Qingsheng took out a piece of clean cotton cloth from his arms and wrapped his nose and mouth firmly. He was about to pry open the eunuch's mouth when he suddenly heard Mei Shinan shouting softly: "I said, come and see what this is?"

Mei Shinan was not as interested in dead bodies as Zhu Qingsheng. When he came in and looked at these corpses, the first thing he did was to see if there was any valuable thing in the lobby. After searching for a while, he found that a pure cowhide bag was placed behind the three coffins. It looked bulging. After weighing it, he found that it was quite heavy. It seemed that there were many things. Mei Shinan was overjoyed and immediately wanted to untie the bag, but the bag was tied firmly and could not be untieed, so he had to ask for help from Zhu Qingsheng.

Zhu Qingsheng went over and saw a mess of hemp rope wrapped around the cowhide bag. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a common pig's trotter buckle. This kind of buckle can be beaten with one hand with one hand. It is the kind that becomes tighter and tighter the more you struggle. It is usually used to tie some living things. Why are they tied to the bag?

Zhu Qingsheng became a little nervous when he saw this. This kind of cowhide bag is extremely waterproof. As long as it is tied up, the things thrown in deep water for a day and a night will not be stained with any drop of water. When paired with this kind of water-absorbing hemp rope, it is obvious that the items in the bag are paid more attention to, but what exactly is inside? Why are they tied to pig trotters that are tied to live animals?

Could it be...is there a living thing in this cowhide bag?

But the bag didn't move at all, and there was no sound at all.

Zhu Qingsheng was hesitant and couldn't figure out why he tied the cowhide buckle and didn't dare to open it easily. Mei Shi couldn't bear it anymore and urged him in a low voice: "How is it? Is this bag difficult to open?"

Zhu Qingsheng shook his head lightly and said, "I can open it, I'm just worried..."

Mei Shi said: "Don't worry, take advantage of the time when there is no one, hurry up and finish the things and run away. If they come, we will no longer be able to escape."

Seeing that this was true, Zhu Qingsheng could not say that no one could come, just in the lobby with three corpses, he could feel a burst of fear. He pressed down his faint sense of uneasiness and found the ends of the rope that was buckled by the pig's trotter, and untied it in a few seconds.

Mei Shinan saw the cowhide bag open, and couldn't wait to reach in. Zhu Qingsheng was shocked when he saw this and was about to remind him that there might be something wrong inside, Mei Shinan took a black arm and wrapped it out.

Mei Shinan looked at the light and said, "Come and see what this is, just put it on the bag. It doesn't seem like a good thing."

The armband looked like an antique, and it was so dark that it was not clear. It looked like it was made of bronze. There was a gap from top to bottom in the middle, which seemed to be worn on the hand for the convenience of others.

Mei Shinan held it in his hand and turned it bit by bit. The light shone on it. The eyes of a pair of poisonous snakes suddenly appeared. They stared at Zhu Qingsheng tightly, with cold and resentful eyes, as if with endless resentment. At the moment, the two poisonous fangs were shining under the light.

Being stared at by the poisonous snake, Zhu Qingsheng was stunned, his head became a little confused, his body became heavier, as if he was sinking into the boundless deep ravine. In a dizzy state, a ray of heat suddenly came from the sun parasol behind him, which instantly spread throughout his body, and immediately drove away the cold feeling.

Zhu Qingsheng suddenly woke up and knew that it was Kui Yang Parasol that had saved him again. He kept shouting, and this time he cheered up and looked at the armband to prevent him from being harmed again. However, this time the venomous snake's gaze disappeared, as if it had never been before.

Zhu Qingsheng was in a strange situation and suddenly heard Mei Shinan say, "This thing looks nothing strange, let's take a look at something else." He put his arm around his wrist.

Zhu Qingsheng was shocked, remembering the sudden appearance of the poisonous snake with its arms and became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly said, "I look something wrong with this thing. Take it down quickly. Let's take it out and take a look."

Mei Shinan shook her wrist and said, "I don't think anything is wrong, so I'd better put it here first."

Seeing that Mei Shinan was fine with her armband, Zhu Qingsheng had to calm down for the time being and said, "Then let's take a look at something else." This time, Zhu Qingsheng didn't dare to let Mei Shinan take things first, so he opened the bag first. There was only a wooden box inside, which was quite heavy. Wax oil was placed in the gaps on the upper and lower sides of the wooden box. It was obvious that the owner attached great importance to it.

The box is also painted black, and there is no characteristic to see. I don’t know what it is inside. In addition to installing a layer of cowhide bag, the owner sealed it with a wooden box and wax oil.

Zhu Qingsheng was even hesitant when he saw this. The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He wanted to throw away the wooden box and leave as soon as possible. He suddenly covered the wooden box and ignored it.

Mei Shi said strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you open it and take a look."

Zhu Qingsheng said slowly: "I always feel something is wrong here, and I really don't dare to open it."

"Tsk, what's there to dare to open this? Look at me." Mei Shinan rolled up her sleeves and was about to force open the wooden box.

A faint tired and old voice suddenly came over: "This little brother is right. There is indeed something wrong inside. You must not open it."

Although the sound was light, Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shidao were so scary that they heard it. The two immediately looked back and saw that in the southwest corner of the lobby, there was an old man sitting there. He was thin, gray, and as thin as a chicken, and he had no energy at all.

Zhu Qingsheng felt panicked, but he didn't expect that they came secretly tonight and were discovered.
