Chapter 21 Murder, Monster!
The next day.
"Swish!"
Chen Yuan waved the long sword in his hand expressionlessly.
once,
twice,
three times...
After a hundred sword swings, Chen Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was filled with blood and blood. If you listen carefully, you can hear some sounds.
While practicing swords, Chen Yuan was also practicing.
After a long time, Chen Yuan put away his knife and stood there. The sun in the void had risen, making people feel a touch of temperature.
After eating early in Zhouji Baozi Shop, Chen Yuan slowly walked towards the county government.
Today is another day for salted fish!
County government office.
Chen Yuan greeted the old yamen runners. After beheading the iron hand and killing a thief in the Wusheng Sect, Chen Yuan's status has been significantly enhanced in the county yamen.
You know, most of the yamen runners who came in with Chen Yuan had no sense of existence.
Even in the county government, it is a powerful person to speak.
Although Chen Yuan took some tricks in the two incidents, his strength was praised.
No one knows that Chen Yuan has entered the blood refining process, otherwise everyone will be shocked even more.
However, Chen Yuan doesn’t want to be the focus of everyone’s attention. It is the king to develop silently and make a fortune in silence. When will he step into bone refining, he will officially showdown.
After saying hello to everyone, Chen Yuan was about to sit down.
Suddenly, a yamen runner rushed in and headed towards the room where the chief detective Huang Xing was, with a very serious expression on his face.
A moment later, the chief detective Huang Xing and the yamen runner walked out of the room and glanced at everyone.
"Zhao Ning, Chen Yuan, Wang..."
"The rest of them patrol as usual, come with me!"
Huang Xing's words were decisive, as if he had encountered a major incident, and most of the people he named were strong.
Chen Yuan didn't dare to refute anything and followed Huang Xing honestly.
On the way, Chen Yuan finally knew what was going on.
It is still related to the demons of the Wusheng Sect.
The incident happened in the east of the city, a wealthy family located in the east of the city, with seventeen family members, including maids and servants, all died in a life of untimely life.
The essence and blood were sucked dry, which was almost the same as the death of Chen Ping'an's parents.
No wonder Huang Xing looked solemn in such a major case.
The previous murders all occurred in remote town pavilions. Everyone did not want to provoke them, but they did not want to be provoked in the city, so the yamen did not take them seriously.
The east of the city is relatively the wealthiest area in Ping'an County, and the Huang family is located in the east of the city.
Soon, the yamen runners did not dare to delay. Before they arrived at the family, more than a dozen white servants guarded the house, while Huang Xing led everyone inside.
In the yard.
Seventeen corpses were placed one by one, covered with white cloth.
Chen Yuan used a scabbard to pick up the white cloth and looked at it carefully. His death was exactly the same as Chen Ping'an's parents.
Chen Yuan's heart was tense. He didn't know whether this was done by the demon of Wusheng Sect inadvertently or a warning to the county government. Will he be targeted by him?
"What do you think of a coroner?" Huang Xing asked with his head down.
A middle-aged coroner bowed and said:
"It must have happened last night."
"What traces were found?"
Huang Xing nodded and then set his sights on the yamen runners. They had just conducted a careful investigation of the entire house.
Some people shook their heads, and some people raised some clues.
But there is no clear idea after all.
Chen Yuan searched all corners of the wall and finally found a few footprints that were not very obvious. He squatted down slowly. Chen Yuan stared at the footprints, wondering what was thinking in his eyes.
Seeing Chen Yuan’s strangeness, Huang Xing walked forward:
"What did you think of?"
Chen Yuan pointed at the footprints on the ground:
"Sir, judging from the footprints, the thief of Wusheng Sect should be two people, one is a little thin and the other is a little fat."
"The fat one should be a little lame."
Huang Xing squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan:
"How can I see it?"
"Sir, please see, this footprint is obviously deeper than the other footprints, and the left leg is more forceful. Bei Zhi has just observed that none of the seventeen corpses on the ground are lame!"
Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
Just now, Chen Yuan had already checked all the bodies on the ground and confirmed that no one had any problems with his legs. Only when he checked his footprints could he be so sure.
Huang Xing stared at him for a while before saying:
"good."
Soon, Huang Xing ordered people to start searching based on Chen Yuan's judgment.
The goal is a lame fat man...
The murder case that occurred in the county town was not allowed to be ignored.
The court had already injected the Wusheng Sect into the killing order.
"You discovered the murder in the morning first?"
Chen Yuan found the first person to report the case, a carpenter who transported coffins to that family.
"Yes...Master, this morning..."
According to the middle-aged man, he should have sent a letter to Japan today, telling them that the coffin had been successfully built, but the door was closed and not opened.
After waiting for a while, he wanted to leave, but he smelled a bloody smell. Realizing something was wrong, he pushed the door open with several carpenters who were with him.
After that, I saw the tragic situation in the mansion and was frightened, so I ran to report to the official.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, instead he noticed another thing.
"Why do we need to build a coffin?"
He observed that the master and wife of that household were not dying, and they were only over forty years old, so they shouldn't have prepared their funeral for themselves so early.
The carpenter was stunned and said truthfully:
"The coffin that Mr. Liu asked us to build was said to be used to move the tombs of our ancestors, and they all used good wood..."
"Relocate the grave..." Chen Yuan seemed to realize something.
"Okay, do you know why you want to move your grave?"
"I heard from Mr. Liu that the feng shui of the old tomb is not good, and I don't know if it is true."
Is the grave relocation related to murder?
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes.
"Do you know where the ancestral tomb of Mr. Liu's house is?"
"I know, the villain has been there once. Master Liu believes this and took us to pay tribute to him once."
"Take me to see..."
The carpenter dared not refute. To him, the county magistrate was already an extraordinary person, and it was not something that a small citizen like him could provoke.
After saying a few words, Chen Yuan went to ask the chief inspector Huang Xing for instructions, but the chief inspector Huang Xing expressed his objection.
"What's the good looking grave? It's better to go searching the county town when you have this time."
Huang Xing scolded, as if he was a little displeased.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, did not refute, and quickly said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, did he mess with Huang Xing somewhere?
Or did he realize he was hostile to him?
Chen Yuan didn't know, but Huang Xing had spoken, and Chen Yuan would not fight him. After whispering to ask about the location of the Liu family's ancestral tomb, he took a few white servants to search the county town.
