Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

And after hearing this about the sect that controls beasts, something came to Qingyan's mind, and then she guessed to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, do you think we met those who know how to control beasts outside the Northwest Pass before? Is it related to the Guiyi Sect?

Could they be from the same family, or are they related in some way? After all, the beasts that commanded them to fight or serve them might be the disciples of the Guiyi Sect who escaped from the disaster and did not come back. "

Chou Chou didn't think about that. If we only look at it from the perspective of controlling beasts, it is not impossible. After all, it is inseparable from the same sect, and it may be a branch of the same sect.

Of course, it is also possible that this is a legacy or secret book left over from the past, which was picked up by those people or obtained through other methods, and then practiced according to the gourd's example.

It can be said that those people are just getting started with the method of controlling beasts. To be honest, their cultivation is still very inadequate.

No matter what the Guiyi Sect says, those who control them are all monsters. Even those people who control ordinary beasts have to use medicine to assist them, which shows that their skills are not up to standard at all.

Also, the main training direction of Guiyi Sect is to control beasts, but they also have some research on formations, otherwise they would not set up these formations.

Of course, it is also possible that these formations were set up by others, otherwise they would not have been broken by the dragon without discovering and consolidating them in advance.

Then Qingyan guessed again: "Then you said before that there are dark rooms in the well and under the square. Is there some formation hiding them? It's impossible to detect them with spiritual consciousness?"

Chou Chou and Jin Yang looked at each other. It was not impossible. It was not like they had never encountered each other before. They had not noticed it with the naked eyes and spiritual consciousness several times.

Chou Chou thought for a while and said, "In that case, you go first, Jin Yang and I stay to investigate, maybe we can find nothing.

It's just that you may not be able to enter the space afterwards. Jin Yang is far away from you, and your entry and exit of the space will definitely be affected. "

Qingyan replied nonchalantly: "It's okay. I also have space. Just transfer some daily things to me in a while. My, gold, and ingot's strength is pretty good. If it doesn't work, you can go into my space and hide for a while." "

Chou Chou and Jin Yang nodded at the same time. There was really no problem with this. They wouldn't waste too long. If they couldn't find anything, they would leave.

I'm just not sure. If there are items, they don't know how long they will be used, so it's best to be prepared with both hands.

After that, she took out all the things she could think of and put them in Qingyan's space. She had everything for food and drink. She collected enough food and drink for four or five days.

Fruits, vegetables, grains, and live pheasants were caught and kept in bamboo cages for emergencies.

It's best if you don't use it. If you use it, you don't have to worry about running out of it.

The four crows, who expressed peace, joy, good luck, and good fortune, tilted their heads and watched them tossing around, while the myna who was trying to attract wealth disappeared to nowhere.

When she thought of attracting wealth, she thought of the monkey yesterday. Qingyan said to Jin Yang, "Get me a jar of mixed monkey wine, just in case it comes in handy."

Qingyan drank some rice wine yesterday and felt it was quite good. She felt warm all over after drinking it. Monkey wine would definitely be better.

However, the alcohol content of the monkey wine was too strong, and she would get drunk easily. It was mixed with some spiritual spring water and she drank it just right.

Jin Yang nodded and directly got her a jar of ten kilograms of blended monkey wine. Qingyan took it and put it into the space and placed it on the rockery inside.

There was no way, the bamboo building hadn't been built yet, and she really didn't have room to put it inside. As for the previous shelves inside, weren't they all filled with things?

Besides, the ten-pound wine jar was placed on the somewhat shabby shelf, and she was afraid that the shelf would collapse.

After cleaning up, Huang Jin and Yuan Bao also got up. They each drank a glass of spiritual spring water. Chou Chou and Jin Yang talked about their plans again, and then Qing Yan and the three left the room.

They bought some food, vegetables and meat directly, and returned to the inn. It was already half past nine in the morning.

When they returned to the inn, Chen Jinshi and the others had also returned. In addition to buying sandalwood, they also bought a lot of food, especially dry food and braised meat for lunch. In case of rain, they could only stay in the car. I made do with it.

Fortunately, they all have carriage sheds now. Even Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng can huddle in the sheds without worrying about rain.

After paying the bill at the front, I went to the backyard and packed up the four cars. Just as I was about to leave, I was stopped by the inn clerk, who said he had to wait and couldn't leave now.

Several people asked what was going on in confusion, and the waiter explained in a low voice: "The person next door died last night. He found it this morning. I reported it to the official early in the morning. The official said that he wanted to search for the murderer, especially the outsiders in the inn. ”

Qingyan and the others looked at each other for a while. They felt so unlucky that they had encountered such a thing.

Qingyan had explored the town before entering the space last night. Although she didn't explore anyone's house, she should have been able to detect it if someone committed a murder, so the deceased must have been killed before or after.

After she entered the space, Chou Chou checked it again, so it was not at that time. After that, they rested in the space, and they really didn't find this murder case.

In this case, he would definitely not be able to leave for a while, so he had to unload the cart from the animal again.

The big bear snorted unhappily, Qingyan touched its big head, fed it some spiritual spring water, and put a piece of rock sugar in its feed.

Big Bear found out and stopped getting emotional. He hadn't returned to the space to see his wife for several days. Qingyan understood if he was a little emotional.

Several people returned to the front lobby again, and the door to the backyard was also locked by the clerk. This was to prevent anyone from moving things out from inside and destroying evidence, in case the murderer was really here.

Qingyan held Yuanbao and sat on the bench next to the table with a few others. She communicated with Chou Chou Jin Yang, who was still in the space, about the situation outside, and then used her spiritual consciousness to probe out.

He went directly to the next door of the inn and found that a lot of people had gathered there. There were two officers guarding the door. Inside, an old man with white hair and beard was inspecting the body.

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, she reported to the official this morning, and it was just after nine o'clock that the official and the official arrived? The county seat is still dozens of miles away from here, and it would take most of a day to walk quickly. This place belongs to Fengyuan County in the south and is the northernmost town in Fengyuan County.

There is no official government in the town, only the mayor and some petty officials. Of course, some towns will have officials sent from the county to garrison and manage public security, just like the police stations in later generations.

It can be said that the official job is normal, but the official job is a bit strange. These people usually work in the county government.

She couldn't understand the operation, so she focused her consciousness on the people watching outside, trying to see if she could find the murderer.

What is shown on TV is not that the murderer does not escape immediately after killing someone, but instead calmly watches, and then proudly discovers that no one suspects him or her at all, and in the end he or she will fall into the hands of the protagonist.

As a result, I looked around and found no suspicious people. Instead, I listened to some gossip and found out why those people came so quickly.

It turns out that Wu Zuo is from this town and has retired because of his old age, but now the people in the county government office are all his disciples. He happened to be nearby, so the official sent him here.

The earlier the autopsy is done, the better to find clues to solve the case earlier, and only then can we find evidence to catch the murderer, so as not to let the murderer go free because of wasted time.

Regarding the deceased, what Qingyan heard was that the deceased’s name was Tian Lufeng. He was just twenty-six years old this year. His wife died three years ago and he had no children. His parents also died of cold in the twelfth lunar month of last year. Now, add If you fall in love with him, it can be said that you will die immediately.

The person who discovered the body in the morning was his cousin. It is said that he came to report the funeral. His cousin's father, his grandfather, died last night, so his cousin came early in the morning to report the funeral.

After knocking on the door for a long time, no one responded, but the door was obviously bolted from the inside. The neighbor who was awakened by his knocking also said that he did not see Tian Lufeng go out, so his cousin jumped in from the nearby courtyard wall. .

The courtyard walls here are not high, only about 1.5 meters, and are designed to protect against gentlemen but not villains.

After entering, he found Tian Lufeng lying in a pool of blood, and then went to report it to the official. The official then went to find the old man Zuo, which led to the current situation.

Qingyan used her consciousness to observe the entire courtyard and the four rooms inside. Except for the blood stain on the floor of the bedroom where Tian Lufeng was, there were no traces in the other rooms.

Maybe because he was the only one left in the house, except for the bedroom where he lived, the other rooms had not been tidied up. Even in the main room, there was only a trace of walking from the door to the table, and there was a layer of dust everywhere else.

The same goes for other houses. The furniture on the floor is covered in dust. As long as someone enters, they can leave footprints, so it is easy to find.

Qingyan looked at the cabinets and boxes in the bedroom, but found no trace of anyone rummaging through them. This way, murder for money could be ruled out. It should be due to enmity or offending someone.

At this time, Wu Zuo also finished the inspection, called the official at the door in, and said to them: "He had three stab wounds on his body. None of them were fatal at first, but one of them hurt his thigh. He had drunk a lot of wine before, and he was unable to get up and call for help. He died of excessive bleeding..."

Qingyan stopped listening to the rest of the words, because the official had already found their way to the inn and was questioning the guests one by one.

That's not to say that the locals are no longer suspicious. It's because they were afraid that outsiders like them would be in a hurry to leave, so I asked them first.

The official asked them very simply, including when they came, what they did from yesterday to this morning, and to check their luggage to see if there was any murder weapon.

Of course, there are still weapons. After all, it is normal to bring something for self-defense when going out.

When an officer finds a weapon, he will not arrest the person, but will check whether there are any traces of fresh use or cleaning on it.

There is definitely a difference between a weapon that has just been used to kill someone and one that has not been used. It will smell of blood unless it is cleaned, but unused weapons do not need to be cleaned at all, so it can still be seen.

There were no traces of use or cleaning on the weapons found here. After questioning, they found that there was no motive or time for committing the crime. After all, most of them came yesterday. It was the first time I came here and I didn’t know Tian Lufeng. Reason to run and kill him.

Of course, handling the case this way seems to Qingyan to be rather hasty. Even if there is no motive for committing the crime, isn't there someone who hired someone to kill someone? Who can guarantee that none of them are in the killing business?

Also, when it comes to finding a murder weapon, if someone kills someone and leaves the murder weapon behind, they can just find it in a ditch or well and throw it away. If not, they can just dig a hole and bury it, but they still have to keep it with them. ?
etc! Throw it in the well... Qingyan directed her consciousness directly into the well next to the square and directly reached the bottom of the water. Because of the daytime, even though the bottom of the well was dark, she could still see faintly.

No knife was found underneath, but many broken bones were found!
By this time, the official had already interrogated their group, checked their luggage, and found no problems, so they could leave after questioning the others.

Qingyan quickly sent a message to Chou Chou and asked it if it had found the bones at the bottom of the well before.

Chou Chou quickly replied to her: "I saw it. Those are the bones of those monster beasts before. They have existed for thousands of years. They are very clean after being purified by spiritual energy. Not only will they not affect the water quality, but they can also improve the water quality." , it is very beneficial for people to drink it for a long time.”

Qingyan blinked, this is really true, is it the same as soaking tiger bones in wine?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, let's just assume it was okay for the time being. Now is not the time to talk about this, so she told Chou Chou about her newly discovered problem.

Let Chou Chou take a look at some of the wells or river ditches in this town to see if there are weapons thrown away by the perpetrators, or if there is any newly disturbed land nearby.

Chou Chou said speechlessly: "Are you a bit over the top? Why are you so sure that the murderer will throw away the murder weapon?
What if someone just took it home and hid it, or the knife was commonly used in every house.

For example, if kitchen knives and butcher knives have blood on them or they need to be cleaned every day, isn't it normal? "

Qingyan thought about it. She hadn't thought of this before. It was definitely wrong to say that the murderer used a kitchen knife. The man said that the wound was stabbed by a knife. A kitchen knife can't stab people, it can only be used to chop people. That is, The murder weapon must have been a sharp knife.

If it was a sharp knife, it was most likely a butcher's butcher's knife.

And if the murderer used a butcher's knife, and there were blood stains on it, or it had just been cleaned, it would be normal. Even if the official found it, there was no way to confirm it. After all, there are not as many detection methods and methods as in later generations. instrument.
