The death of so many people at once, no matter what period it is, is a big case that can alarm the Holy Dynasty.

At that moment, Chu Xian did not delay, and immediately asked Wen Youquan to go to the county seat to bring the soldiers over, while Chu Xian stayed and investigated the scene.

The result was the same as Chu Xian expected, the villagers of Lujia Village were all dead, and everyone had a weird smile on their faces, which ordinary people didn't understand, but Chu Xian knew that the Yin and Yang Mirror was reversed, and they had this kind of smile when they died, which meant that these people were scared to death by magic.

In fact, this is the death of Chu Xian who is terrified to the extreme.

Chu Xian used the soul conjuring technique for the first time, and wanted to summon the soul of the deceased to ask, but it had no effect, the souls of the dead people would have been destroyed long ago, or they were captured and trapped, even if Chu Xian had superb soul conjuring techniques, it would not be useful at this time.

Fortunately, Chu Xian has other means.

Investigating cases, that is what Chu Xian is good at, even if it is a ghost or god who commits a crime, Chu Xian can also see some clues from some clues.

The first is the time when the other party committed the crime, it was actually in the early morning, obviously, the other party did it on purpose, and the person who died at this time was already weak in soul and was the easiest to be manipulated.

But as an evil ghost, there are great restrictions on daring to kill living people during the day, and it is not easy for an evil ghost on the other side to kill so many living people.

Ordinary evil ghosts will never be able to do this.

In Chu Xian's opinion, there are only two possibilities, either it is an old ghost who has cultivated to a high level, or it has a special identity, for example, the official errand of the underworld has this kind of means of casting spells during the day, and the rest may not dare to come out during the day, let alone cast spells to kill people.

In addition, the other party used a ghost weapon, otherwise no matter how powerful the ghost cultivation is, it is impossible to affect so many people at the same time, and Wen Youquan said just now, in fact, it was not the ghost thing that cast the spell, but was affected by the ghost weapon.

Chu Xian fought with the evil ghost and beat the evil ghost away, and the other party didn't have time to take away the ghost weapon, so finding the ghost weapon was what Chu Xian had to do now.

Ghost weapons, magic weapons used by ghosts, in the eyes of living people, may not exist at all, they cannot be seen or touched, but that is for ordinary people, and it is not difficult for Chu Xian.

After walking back and forth in Lujia Village a few times, Chu Xian stopped in front of a large well in the village.

"Out of the body!"

Chu Xian now doesn't need to sit cross-legged, he can easily get out of the body, and the speed is extremely fast, so he listens to the wind whistling, and when Chu Xian returns to the body, there is already one more thing in his hand.

It was a wet bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror is the size of a palm at most, small and exquisite, with seven sides around it, engraved with seven kinds of evil ghost patterns, and behind it, there is an eye, which seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

The most strange thing is that this bronze mirror is very unstable, as if it will disappear at any time, Chu Xian immediately recited a spell, and this bronze mirror stabilized.

That ghost thing is borrowing this thing to kill people, so that it can be effortless.

This bronze mirror is also a clue.

But all ghost weapons should have a master, and when the time comes, you won't have to worry about finding the person behind the scenes.

By the time Wen Youquan brought people over, it was already noon, and the rain had stopped at this moment, but the sky was still gloomy, and those soldiers and county government officials knew that Chu Xian was the government order, and they were respectful one by one.

Chu Xian called Wen Youquan and asked him what he thought.

Wen Youquan thought for a while: "Lord Fu Ling, the deceased in Lujia Village died in the same way as the people who died before, and it should be from the same person or the same group." ”

"Or, a ghost. Chu Xian said.

Wen Youquan hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, it's a ghost, Lord Fuling, by now, more than 200 people have died, and now the whole county is already panicked, if you can't catch the murderer, I'm afraid that it will be a long time before there will be problems." ”

This Chu Xian naturally knows.

Originally, Chu Xian planned to investigate secretly, but now it seems that it will not work, and since he has already been startled, it is better to simply mobilize a group of soldiers to stabilize the situation.

At least in the eyes of the people, there is a bottom in their hearts.

Chu Xian is writing a paper crane biography at the moment, and a day later, the three thousand rattan armor army has arrived in Yaoguang County, followed by the new chief secretary and some officials in the city government, the Luo family brothers and sisters and Chu San also came, so that in Yaoguang County, almost every village is guarded by the rattan armor army, Chu Xian and others are also always ready, once there is any trouble, immediately dispatch.

It's just that in the next few days, the situation in Yaoguang County was calm, and there was not a single murder incident of hungry ghosts, and after waiting for a few days, it was still calm.

Many people were relieved, thinking that it was the Lord of the Mansion who was personally in charge, and there were still three thousand vine armor troops, so they deterred the evil ghost who harmed people.

Wen Youquan also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't continue to die, then thank God, right now, it seems to be good, no matter what the origin of the murderous ghost is, the other party at least knows how to restrain and knows that it is not easy to mess with here, so stop, maybe, he will have fled a long time ago.

The county officials also breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that calm should be restored in a few days.

It's just that once Wen Youquan talked about it, it is estimated that he wanted to listen to Chu Xian's tone and see when Chu Xian would return to Yunlong City.

"Go back?" Chu Xian glanced at Wen Youquan, who hurriedly said: "Lord Fu Ling, that evil ghost will definitely not dare to commit another crime when he sees that the situation is not good, so that the situation in the county can also be stabilized." ”

"And then as if nothing happened, everything is business as usual?" Chu Xian asked rhetorically at this time, this time, Wen Youquan sensed that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to speak casually.

Chu Xian shook his head: "No matter who commits this case, we must investigate it to the end, and then arrest the murderer, if it is a person, behead it, if it is a ghost, behead the soul." ”

Wen Youquan was stunned.

He can already be sure that the person who committed the crime is an evil ghost, so this kind of thing can no longer be solved by his small county decree, according to the charter of the Holy Dynasty, the living people, the government of the world is in charge, if it is a demon, then it has to be reported to the underworld and let the underworld investigate and deal with it.

This is called the separation of authority, and it cannot be overcome.

Therefore, after hearing Chu Xian's words, Wen Youquan was stunned, and felt in his heart that Lord Fu Ling was asking for hardship, not to mention whether he had the authority or not, he said that he wanted to arrest a demon, if the other party came to commit the crime again, it would be fine, if he disappeared from now on, he did not have the means and ability to investigate and deal with it, where to start?

Wen Youquan felt that he should remind Lord Fu Ling, and now he whispered: "Lord Fu Ling, this kind of thing, shouldn't it be reported to the ...... of the underworld?"

"I have already sent a letter to the underworld, and according to experience, the response of the underworld will not be too fast, and even, it will often ignore it, relying on the underworld to investigate the case, it is better for us to investigate it ourselves. Chu Xian was obviously very familiar with the operation of the underworld, and he could hear that he was very dissatisfied.

At this time, Wen Youquan didn't dare to say anything.

He obviously didn't dare to disturb Chu Xian, but he just felt that the Lord of the Mansion Commander would definitely not be able to find out anything, at most he would just make a show.

But in the next few days, Wen Youquan found that Lord Fu Ling was not acting like him, he was really investigating, and he was extremely involved.

In the county office of Yaoguang County, in a study room temporarily requisitioned by Chu Xian, there are many books, which are all household registration rosters in the county.

This time, Chu Xian ticked off the names of the people who were killed with a red pen.

That evil ghost didn't come to commit the crime again, and Chu Xian had tried to use the ghost bronze mirror as a bait to see if he could lure the other party out.

As a result, the other party was not fooled, as if he really walked away and never appeared again.

Obviously, the evil ghost knows who he is, and he also knows the price of coming again, so he will disappear, but as Chu Xian and Wen Youquan said, Chu Xian will not just write a recital and submit it to the state capital and take the ball away, this matter, Chu Xian will investigate to the end.

Committing a crime in his jurisdiction, Chu Xian will never give up.

This can be regarded as Chu Xian's own obsession, anyway, Chu Xian will not let more than 200 people in the land lose their lives like this.

In the past few days, Chu Xian has made a discovery.

First of all, the dead people, either surnamed Lu or Yao, at least most of them, except for a few officials who had tried to run out to report the news.

But Chu Xian felt that the evil ghost killed the person who reported the news just to block the news, that is, if those people didn't go out to report the news, they wouldn't die.

In this way, sorting out the victims, it is easy to see that it is aimed at people surnamed Lu and Yao in Yaoguang County.

Continuing to investigate deeply, these two surnames were also big clans in Yaoguang County, and in the local area, these two surnames were from the same clan, and they lived separately later, but they did not go out of the boundaries of Yaoguang County.

For this reason, Chu Xian found all the genealogical files that could be called up at the earliest, and of course, it took a lot of effort to find these things.

But it's worth it.

Chu Xian found an extremely important clue, the families surnamed Lu and Yao are foreign races, about a hundred years ago, they migrated to Yaoguang County from other states, and later married and had children here to reproduce the family.

There are very few records of this in the book, and the people of these two families are now dead, but fortunately, there are also many old people in Yaoguang County who know the affairs of these two families.

Among them, there is the previous county order who has returned to his hometown.

This county magistrate is already one hundred and sixteen years old, because his cultivation is not enough, and his official work is not high, so he is already very old, and it is estimated that Shouyuan will not exceed one hundred and thirty years old, and may not even be able to reach it.

Chu Xian went to find the other party in person, and the old county commander was naturally extremely surprised, not only going out to greet him in person, but also treating Chu Xian as a guest.

After all, Chu Xian is a government order.

And after the subordinate made tea and was taken away by the old county order, the latter said: "Why did the lord of the government order come to find the old man, and the old man also knows a thing or two." ”

Chu Xian smiled, obviously, even if this old county commander retreated, he still had influence in this county, such a big incident happened in Yaoguang County, it was obviously impossible for the other party not to know, and the other party not only knew, but must also know some inside information.

"Chu is here for this matter. Chu Xian took a sip of tea, and then tasted it: "Good tea." ”
