[Four more, ask for subscription, monthly pass support!]

Early the next morning, everyone set off again, because of the conversation last night, today everyone has obviously quickened their speed, and on the third day, the fourth day, and at noon on the fifth day, everyone rushed to Laiyang County.

Looking at it, it is true that Laiyang County is prosperous, much stronger than Qinghua County, but when it comes to public security, it is inevitably worse, but compared to Jinhua City, I don't know how much stronger.

Walking through the street, after a short time, everyone came to the front of the county office, and the official who guarded the door saw Uncle Song Yu coming back, and hurriedly shouted in surprise: "Lord Zhixian, you are back!"

"Hmm. Uncle Song Yu nodded, and then asked in a loud voice: "It's Li San, what cases have happened in the county government during the time I have been away?"

"This" When the official heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, hesitated for a while, and then responded with a little horror: "Back to the adult, there is a case, and it is still a homicide, five people have died, two are servants of the adult's family, and two are maidservants next to the lady, and the last one is a brother in our county office, who also died in the garden in order to investigate the case." ”

"Huh?" When Uncle Song Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked again: "How can this be? Quickly tell me everything you know." ”

Li Sanying said: "Back to the adult, these three murders all happened in the back garden of the county government compound, the case is exactly the same as when your sister died, the scene of the crime, except for a little red water trace, there are no other clues, and there is no scar on the body."

This time, it was Uncle Song Yu's turn to tremble, and when he asked, he couldn't help but have a little fear in his words: "What happened to the bodies of the three deceased?"

"Not really. Li San responded, and hurriedly added: "But this is because the master and the lady have made a decision after discussion, because the deceased's condition is strange, and it is inevitable that there will be a corpse change, so the day after the autopsy, we will burn the body of the deceased with peach wood" The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, probably because he was afraid that the magistrate would be angry because of their arbitrary assertions, but he never thought about it-

"Huh-" I saw Uncle Song Yu let out a long breath, then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his mouth: "It's good to burn, it's good to burn."

If it was a normal time, his wife and master would have advocated the burning of the deceased's body, he would definitely be furious, but after experiencing the corpse transformation of his sister Song Yuniang, the situation was naturally different, after all, he didn't want to face death threats with his wife, children, relatives and friends.

After his mind stabilized a little, he came back to his senses, and said apologetically to Yan Chixia and Jiang Chen: "Yan Daxia, Zhiqiu Daochang, I'm really sorry, I'm snubbing you, come with me to the county government for tea, wait for the two of you to rest for a while, and then let's start solving the case."

"No need!" Before the words were finished, Yan Chixia had already interrupted the scene, "Tea can be drunk at any time, and rest can be temporarily pressed, let's hurry to the crime scene in the back garden to investigate, so as not to kill any innocent people for no reason." ”

Jiang Chen also said: "Yan Daxia is right, the body has been burned, and the remaining clues are only at the scene of the crime, the sooner you go, the better." ”

"This" is not a faint official after all, Uncle Song Yu immediately responded resolutely after a little hesitation: "Since this is the case, then I will take the two of them to the back garden." ”

"Don't be an adult!" Li San was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped: "That place is very evil, my lord is the body of Jin Gui, an official of the imperial court, and he rushed to go, in case of any damage, how should the little one explain to the imperial court?"

"Confess?" Uncle Song Yu said coldly: "Now that there are one after another life cases in the county, the source of the problem is in the back garden of the county government compound. As he spoke, he immediately led the way and led Yan Chixia and Jiang Chen to the back garden.

Along the way, I met a lot of county officials, and when I arrived in the backyard, there were many servants and maids, and under the leadership of Uncle Song Yu's wife, they came to welcome Uncle Song Yu back to his home, but inside and outside the county government, regardless of men, women and children, almost all of them were frightened and afraid.

Also, they all rely on this county government to live, but now there are frequent strange death cases in this county government, and it is suspected that there are demons at work, how can they not be frightened?

The county government is indeed very large, through several corridors, two courtyards, everyone came to the back garden, standing at the door, looking around, only to see the huge garden empty, not half a figure. In the garden, although no one cleans and practices, the flowers and plants in the garden are not messy, and the east and west clusters are very gorgeous.

"Law Realm Heaven and Earth, Hole Open Yin and Yang!"

There was no rash rush to break in, Jiang Chen's spell suddenly started, the mana condensed his eyes, and in an instant, the heavenly eye opened, and two sharp eyes that were invisible to the naked eye saw through the boundary between yin and yang, vertical and horizontal, scanning the entire garden, and incorporating everything inside into his eyes in great detail:

Red, red light, dazzling red light, enveloping the entire garden, Jiang Chentian's eyes were directed, only to see the huge garden, everything, all with a layer of dazzling red light, especially in the middle of the garden, there is a thick red beam, rising from the ground, straight into the sky and clouds, in the red light, you can faintly see, there is a shadow in it is turning in the morning, moving back and forth.

"Little brother, how is it?" Yan Chixia saw Jiang Chen's face unconsciously showing a little surprise and shock, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "What did you find?"

"Red light!" Jiang Chen replied in a deep voice: "The entire back garden is shrouded in a layer of red light, which looks very gorgeous and even more weird. ”

Yan Chixia couldn't help frowning when he heard this, at the moment, without saying a word, the spell was together, his eyes were open to yin and yang, and his eyes were also looking towards the garden, and the next second, he was shocked by the vision in front of him, and his face unconsciously revealed a little shock: "How is this possible?"

On the side, Uncle Song Yu was mortal after all, but although he couldn't see the vision in the garden, he also learned a lot of news from the shocked faces of Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia, and at that moment, he hurriedly asked: "Yan Daxia, Zhiqiu Dao Chang, I don't know if you have found anything?"

Yan Chixia was shocked, and at this moment, she was pinching her fingers and calculating, so Jiang Chen replied in a deep voice: "It is true that something has been discovered, but now we are not sure what terrible existence is hidden in this garden, so, for the sake of safety, Lord Song, please notify me and let the county government and the people nearby move out first, so as not to have unnecessary casualties, and wait for us to find out the problems in the garden, and then come back not too late." ”

"This" After a little hesitation, Uncle Song Yu finally made a decision, and immediately beckoned Li San and ordered: "You go and inform the master and Mrs. immediately, just say that it is the order of the official, and let them immediately organize the people of the county government and the surrounding people to move out temporarily." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Although he had some doubts in his heart, Li San still responded in the end, obviously, Uncle Song Yu, the magistrate of the county, was still very prestigious.

After half a ring, Yan Chixia finally came to his senses, he frowned and said: "It seems that things are more troublesome than we imagined, if my calculation is correct, there should have been a well in this back garden in the early years." ”

"Well?" Uncle Song Yu frowned and thought for a moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and then nodded again and again: "Yan Daxia's calculation is indeed good, because of the death of my sister Yu Niang, I have read the information about this county government, but there is a document, there was once a well in this back garden, but later, for some reason, it was landfilled, and if you calculate it carefully, this is not to mention that it was twenty or thirty years ago." ”

"Sure enough!" Yan Chixia couldn't help but light up when she heard this.

On the side, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Could it be that the matter is actually related to the well that has been filled in for decades?"

"That's right!" Yan Chixia replied in a deep voice: "Moreover, it's not just about it, it can even be said that everything here is related to that well" (to be continued.) )
