The whining puppy stopped in front of a clearing in the alley, followed by Moon Dance and Anan, and as soon as they walked into the clearing, they smelled something unusual! The smell was disgusting, but it gave people a familiar feeling, as if they had smelled it somewhere.

Moon Dance thought about it, and immediately recalled: "This ....... It's like a corpse smell! ”

When digging people's graves in the cemetery before, they had smelled this smell more than once, and Moon Dance felt very uncomfortable at the time, so she remembered this smell, she didn't expect that she would have a second chance to smell it!

Thinking of a possibility, her voice trembled unnaturally: "How can there be a corpse smell here?" There has never been a homicide in our small town! And I haven't heard of anyone missing recently! "It's not easy to pick up a life under the hands of Mountain Charm and all kinds of fierce beasts over the years, who would want to do that kind of murder for money!

Compared with Moon Dance's panic, Anan seemed more calm: "Who was murdered, you can find out if you dig it out." Moon Dance, I'll wait here, you go get a few shovels and come over, by the way, call a few people by the way, this matter is too big, I'm afraid the two of us can't handle it. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Moon Dance ran back, because her house was relatively close to this alley, she went back to her house first, and happened to meet Li Xinghe who wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing the panicked look on the face of this always brave woman, Li Xinghe was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"A body was found in a nearby alley, and I went home to get a shovel and was ready to go over and help."

Li Xinghe thought that he was living in someone else's house, and he was embarrassed that he couldn't help anything, so he took the initiative to ask Ying and said, "I'll go over with you to have a look." ”

In addition to Li Xinghe, Yue Wu went to the city to find a few brave men to come over, and asked them to bring shovels to the alley to check the situation, a total of five or six people helped, and soon dug up the small mound that was not dug deep. As the dirt covered became less and less, the smell of corpses became more and more obvious, and a few people who were relatively poor in tolerance couldn't help but retch.

Even so, they dug up the bodies buried underneath.

The town is so big, no matter what happens, it is impossible to hide it, let alone find such a big thing as a corpse? People in the city who have nothing to do rush to the alleys to see the excitement! As they dug deeper and deeper, the corpse buried underneath gradually revealed to everyone!

It was a female corpse! In the past few days of sunset rain, and because the air in the forest is already relatively humid, the corpse has rotted very badly, and I can only barely see that this is a female corpse, as for the face of the female corpse, I don't know who scratched many wounds, and at this time I can't see her appearance clearly!

While everyone was amazed, a woman squeezed into the crowd: "Let me see." ”

She is the only doctor in Xiaocheng Liu, although her medical skills are not as good as that of the unknown, but she has been responsible for diagnosing and treating the injuries and illnesses of the people in the city for many years, so people trust her very much.

"Doctor Li, how did this person die?"

The woman's expression was gloomy: "She died of poisoning, and after her death, she was cut in the face with a knife." Judging by the level of decomposition of the body, she had been dead for about six or seven days...... Strange, has that girl been missing in the city recently? Why haven't you heard anyone talk about it? ”

"No, no, how can anyone be missing!"

The town is so big, and it's impossible to hide such a big thing!

Everyone felt more and more strange, if no one in the city had been missing or killed recently, then who did the body buried here belong to?

Just when everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say, Li Xinghe suddenly took two steps back, his face full of shock: "I seem to know who this person is!" ”

Moon Dance hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Zuiqiu," Li Xinghe said with a pale face, pointing to the female corpse's wrist, "I remember very clearly, there is a scar on Zuiqiu's wrist, and there happens to be a scar on the female corpse's wrist, which is exactly the same as Zuiqiu's scar!" ”

"But Drunken Autumn hasn't already ....... with them" Anan's words didn't have time to finish, and his face was already pale and ugly.

If the female corpse lying here belongs to Drunken Autumn, then who is Drunken Autumn who set off with them? Recalling the scene when he met Zuiqiu near the alley that day, Anan felt uncomfortable: "That day, I saw her dodging near the alley, so I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she wanted to go to the lake with them, but she was too embarrassed to say it,...... Now that I think about it, where is she embarrassed, she is obviously afraid that I will find out the truth about her murder and burial! ”

Moon Dance was suddenly shocked: "My brother is following such a terrible murderer, what should we do now?" I don't feel comfortable keeping them there! Brother Anan, do you know where my brother is going, I want to find her! ”

When Li Xinghe heard this, he also turned his gaze to Anan: "If you can, bring me with you by the way." ”

Anan shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "I only heard him mention such a place when I was a child, but I have never been there, and I don't know the way at all." But if you want to go, it's not difficult, they have only been walking for a few days, so many people will definitely leave some traces through the forest, we will definitely find them if we follow the traces. ”

"You're right!"

Anan turned his face and looked at the other villagers who were watching: "Fathers and fellow villagers, if we are not mistaken, the murderer should be by the side of the star picker now, because we don't have to worry about picking the star, we decided to go to the forest for a walk." ”

Most of the people in the city supported the star picking, especially after he led everyone to eliminate the mountain charm, the status of the star picking rose day by day, and when they heard that the patriarch might be in danger, everyone couldn't sit still: "Do you want to go a few more people?" That murderer is so ruthless, in order to completely destroy the evidence, he actually drew a girl's face like this, it is really pitiful........ Such a murderous person, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight. ”

Moon Dance hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't worry, the first time I met them, when I was fighting with the fierce beasts in the forest, those people didn't look very good, but they were actually very powerful, and we specially went over this time mainly to expose the murderer's affairs, so as not to let them continue to be deceived." There are so many of us, it's impossible to beat one person. ”

The person who had just proposed it closed his mouth: "That's fine." ”

Because of the urgency of the situation, Moon Dance decided to leave immediately, it would be more dangerous to stay here, she didn't want to see an injured star picker at that time!

Deep in the forest, on the shores of the lake.

This is a beautiful scenery, and very quiet place, Feng Changqi walked by the lake, listening to the sound of the breeze, suddenly felt as if all the troubles had disappeared, I was like walking in the clouds, and the mood was very happy. After leaving the courtyard and walking along the path to the lake, she saw a gazebo, and the people Feng Changqi wanted to see were sitting in the gazebo.

I don't know why, when he saw that figure from a distance, Feng Changqi actually had an inexplicable sense of fear.

She stopped, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should continue walking, or she was stunned.

"You're here."

The woman didn't turn around at all, but she already knew that Feng Changqi was coming, she plucked the strings under her hands, and the whole person was like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, and when Feng Changqi stood in front of her, she would feel extremely small.

She hesitated and spoke: "Front....... Senior ......."

The woman smiled softly: "My name is Bai Qingyu." ”

Bai Qingyu! This name is exactly the same as the name of the first empress of Meng Liguo!

Feng Changqi became more and more worried: "You ........."

"Since you've seen my portrait in the ancestral hall before, you must be curious about whether I'm a god or a ghost. Hehe, I'm neither, I'm just a not-so-ordinary person. She raised her eyes, this was the first time Feng Changqi saw her smile sincerely, her smile gave people a sense of intimacy like a spring breeze.

Bai Qingyu pointed to the opposite position and let Feng Changqi sit in the position, and then spoke again: "The things you have experienced outside, your good looks have already told me. ”

Feng Changqi keenly heard the word "think well", and his cheeks flushed: "We are not that kind, senior, you are wrong." ”

Bai Qingyu seemed to think it was very funny, and teased her again: "You don't have to feel embarrassed in front of me, I'm not a tiger, can I eat you?" Alas, it's better for young people to be straightforward, for if you're too shy, it's easy to lose what you could have gained. ”

Feng Changqi lowered his face and didn't speak, and his ears were completely red.

Realizing that the little girl in front of her was very thin-skinned, Bai Qingyu did not continue to tease her, but slowly talked about today's topic, the matter of water in the wood.

"A long time ago, water in the wood only grew in this lake, but ten years ago, a young man of no age or child came to me and asked me for water in the wood. I was in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't give it to him, and who knew that the little guy didn't know where to find a poison and fed it to the night, which was my snake. ”

Feng Changqi was surprised, that two-headed python, just looking at it from a distance can make people tremble, what is the origin of the one who came over ten years ago, and dared to poison it?

"You think that guy is bold, don't you?" Bai Qingyu smiled again, "His bolder behavior is still to come, he took advantage of the time when I was treating the night, he dived into the lake and took a treasure at the bottom of the lake, the water in the wood can grow in the lake is dependent on that kind of treasure, as soon as the thing is taken away, all the flowers will wither." ”
