Chapter 21 Murder, monster!

the next day.

"Shua!"

Chen Yuan waved the long knife in his hand expressionlessly.

once,

twice,

three times

After a hundred times of swinging the knife, Chen Yuan's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the blood in his body was surging. If you listen carefully, you can hear some voices.

While practicing the knife, Chen Yuan was also practicing.

After a long time, Chen Yuan put away his knife and stood where he was. The sun in the void had already risen, making people feel a touch of warmth.

After eating breakfast at Zhouji Steamed Bun Shop, Chen Yuan walked slowly towards the county government.

Today is another day of salted fish!

County government.

Chen Yuan greeted the old yamen servants one by one. After beheading the iron hand and killing a Wusheng Cult thief, Chen Yuan's status in the county yamen has obviously increased a lot.

You know, most of the yamen servants who came in with Chen Yuan had no sense of existence.

Even in the county government, it speaks of strength.

In Chen Yuan's two incidents, although there were some tricks, his strength was also praised.

No one knows that Chen Yuan stepped into blood refining, otherwise the shock of everyone would be even greater.

However, Chen Yuan still doesn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention, developing silently and making a fortune silently is the kingly way. When he steps into bone refining, it will be the time for him to show his cards.

After greeting everyone, Chen Yuan just wanted to sit down.

Suddenly, a yamen servant rushed in and headed for the room where the head catcher Huang Xing was, with a very serious expression on his face.

After a while, the head catcher Huang Xing and the yamen servant walked out of the room and scanned everyone.

"Zhao Ning, Chen Yuan, Wang"

"The rest are patrolling as usual, you follow 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 obediently.

On the way, Chen Yuan finally knew what happened.

It still has something to do with the monster of Wusheng Sect.

The incident happened in the east of the city, a large family in the east of the city, the whole family of seventeen people, including the servant girl and servants, all died unexpectedly.

The blood was sucked dry, almost the same as the death of Chen Pingan's parents.

With such a big case, it's no wonder Huang Xing's face is solemn.

The previous homicides all happened in remote villages, and everyone didn't want to provoke them, but if they happened in the city, the yamen couldn't help but ignore them.

The east of the city is relatively speaking, the most affluent area in Ping'an County, and the Huang family is located in the east of the city.

Soon, a group of yamen servants did not dare to delay, before they arrived at the house, a dozen white servants guarded the house, and Huang Xing led everyone inside.

in the yard.

Seventeen corpses were placed one by one, covered with white cloth.

Chen Yuan picked up the white cloth with the scabbard, and looked carefully one by one. The death pattern was indeed exactly the same as that of Chen Ping's parents.

Chen Yuan's heart tightened. He didn't know if this was done by the Wusheng Sect monster unintentionally, or if it was a warning to the county government. Will he be targeted among them?

"What did Wu Zuo say?" Huang Xing asked with his head down.

A middle-aged Wu Zuo cupped his hands and said:

"It should be what happened last night."

"What trace did you find?"

Huang Xing nodded, and then set his sights on a group of yamen servants. Just now, they have conducted a careful inspection of the entire house.

Someone shook his head, someone offered some clues.

But after all, there is no clear clue.

Chen Yuan searched all over the corner, and finally found a few footprints that were not very obvious. He squatted down slowly, and Chen Yuan stared at the footprints, thinking about something in his eyes.

Seeing Chen Yuan's strange behavior, Huang Xing stepped forward:

"What did you think of?"

Chen Yuan pointed to the footprints on the ground:

"My lord, judging from the footprints, there should be two thieves of Wushengjiao. One is a little thin and the other is a little fat."

"The fat one should have a limp."

Huang Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan:

"How did you see that?"

"Please look, my lord. This footprint is obviously deeper than the other footprints, and the left leg exerts more force. The humble official has just observed it. None of the seventeen corpses on the ground is lame!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

Just now that he had nothing to do, Chen Yuan had checked all the corpses on the ground to make sure that no one had any problems with their legs, and he would be so sure when he checked the footprints later.

Huang Xing stared for a long time before saying:

"good."

Soon, Huang Xing ordered people to search according to Chen Yuan's judgment.

The target is a lame fat man

They couldn't help but ignore the murders that happened in the county.

The imperial court has already incorporated Wushengjiao into the must-kill order.

"You were the first to discover the murder in the morning?"

Chen Yuan found the first person who reported the crime, a carpenter who delivered coffins to that family.

"Yes, sir, this morning."

According to the middle-aged man, he was supposed to send a letter today to tell them that the coffin had been built, but the door remained closed and did not open.

After waiting for a while, he wanted to leave, but he smelled blood again, and realized something was wrong, so he pushed the door open with several fellow carpenters.

After that, when he saw the tragic situation in the mansion, he was terrified, so he ran to report to the official.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, but noticed another thing.

"Why build a coffin?"

He has observed that the master and wife of that family are not dying, and they are only in their forties, so they shouldn't have prepared for their funeral so early.

The carpenter was taken aback, and said truthfully:

"Master Liu asked us to build the coffin, which he said was for relocating the grave of our ancestors, and all the high-quality wood was used."

"Move the grave." Chen Yuan seemed to realize something.

"Okay, do you know why you want to move the grave?"

"I heard from Mr. Liu that Feng Shui in the old tomb is not good. I don't know if it is true."

Is there any connection between moving the grave and the murder?

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Do you know where the ancestral grave of Mr. Liu's family is?"

"I know, I know, the villain has been there once, Master Liu believes in this, and specially took us there to pay homage."

"Take me to see"

The carpenter didn't dare to refute. To him, the servant of the county government office was already a very important person, and he was not something that small people like him could provoke.

After saying a few words, Chen Yuan went to ask the head catcher Huang Xing for instructions, but the head catcher Huang Xing objected.

"What's so interesting about the tomb? If you have the time, you might as well search the county seat."

Huang Xing scolded, seeming a little displeased.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, did not refute, and quickly said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, did he provoke Huang Xing somewhere?

Or, did he realize that he was hostile to him?

Chen Yuan didn't know, but Huang Xing had already spoken, and Chen Yuan would not stand up to him. After inquiring about the location of the Liu family's ancestor's grave in a low voice, he took a few white servants and started searching in the county.
