Demon detective

Chapter 65 Come Again
"Why? Why can't you tell?"

Outside Lu Yusheng's house, Xu Zhen had a quarrel with Cheng Xiao, the head catcher.

"Don't you already know the identity of that monk?" Xu Zhen asked, "Who is he?"

"Hmph," Cheng Xiao snorted coldly, and said to Xu Zhen angrily, "I said just now that you and Shen Yu will stay and protect the scene, and you don't need to worry about other things!"

"Cheng Butou," Shen Yu was also very puzzled, "Who is that monk? Why did he kill these people? We are very curious!"

"Don't say I didn't remind you," Cheng Xiao stretched out a finger, first tapping Xu Zhen, then Shen Yu, "From now on, you are not allowed to reveal half a word about this case to anyone, otherwise, I promise Bad luck for you!"

After speaking, he turned around and left with the other policemen.

"Hey?" Shen Yu was very puzzled, "What does this mean? Why don't you let me say it? Why are you so unlucky?"

However, Cheng Xiao and the others quickly disappeared from sight without looking back.

At this moment, all the neighbors around rushed over to watch the commotion, and they had already surrounded the entrance of Lu Yusheng's house.

"Hey! Hey, hey, hey..." Shen Yu really did her duty, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't even look at it! What should you do, let's go, let's go, let go..."

As she spoke, she stepped forward with a whistle stick and began to disperse the crowd.

This Huniu is really reckless, the big stick yelled at her, knocking down several people at once, causing them to flee in fright.

Xu Zhen looked at Shen Yu, and was quickly analyzing this bizarre case in his mind.

Before, he had already felt strange, as if Cheng Xiao was extremely relaxed when he solved the puzzle of "the horse is long and the fish is short".

Now he finally understands that the emotional Cheng Xiao knew Liu Sanyang and Lu Yusheng at all, otherwise he would not be so familiar with the places where these two people live.

Especially after discovering Liu Sanyang's body, Cheng Xiao quickly thought of Lu Yusheng, and already knew the identity of the murderer.

This shows that Cheng Xiao should understand the grievances between the monk and Tong County Magistrate, Liu Sanyang, and Lu Yusheng.

The monk should know, so the puzzles are basically for Cheng Xiao.

But... Since Cheng Xiao already knew the truth, why didn't he tell it?

Is there something more powerful involved?

Tong county magistrate...

Xu Zhen searched the memory, but found nothing.

When County Magistrate Tong was in Yanping County, he was just a child. How could he remember anything?
"Okay, we're all running away!" Shen Yu returned to Xu Zhen, clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xu, next we have to wait for Wu Zuo to come over for the autopsy, right?

"Oh, if two people die, it won't be until midnight when we come to our place again? Are you cold?" She asked concerned, "If it's cold, let's go into the house and light a fire, um... "

Speaking of this, Shen Yu remembered that Lu Yusheng died beside the stove, and if he wanted to warm himself, he had to roast it with the corpse.

"Xiaoyu," Xu Zhen asked, "are you afraid of the dead inside?"

"Ah?" Shen Yu grinned, "Do you really want to go in and enjoy the fire?"

"I mean," Xu Zhen said, "can you stay here alone?"

"Ah?" Shen Yu scratched her head, "What are you doing?"

"Youmeng is at home alone, I have to tell her something," Xu Zhen said, "otherwise she will always be waiting for me."

"This is easy," Shen Yu patted her chest, "I'll go! I'm fast!"

"..." Xu Zhen covered his face, and said quickly, "No need, you see, this place is not far from my house, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

"Then...well, then..." Shen Yu said with a little embarrassment, "Then can you bring me something to eat when you come back? I'm a little hungry!"

"Okay, this is absolutely no problem!" Xu Zhen quickly agreed.

……

Xu Zhen didn't lie, he couldn't go home all night, so he naturally wanted to tell Youmeng, so as not to worry the little daughter-in-law.

It's just that when Xu Zhen came home and found out that he had a dream, he didn't rush back, but rushed to the Yamen as quickly as possible.

He knew that when Cheng Xiao knew the identity of the monk, he must first go back and report to Song Zhili.

Hurry back now, maybe you can hear something.

The reason why Xu Zhen wanted to know the case so urgently was naturally not because of gossip, but because he was afraid of missing important information and delaying the solution to the case.

In addition, he always felt that the monk had another purpose, and if he could expose his scheme, he might benefit from it.

In this way, he quickly returned to the county government office. He was about to go to the backyard to see if Cheng Xiao was reporting in the inner hall, but he happened to hear two yamen servants guarding the backyard discussing something.

"Yes, it's for the palace!" One of them pointed to the backyard and said, "My good fellow, what kind of hatred is this!"

"Then..." another asked, "Is the old county magistrate... still alive?"

"He's alive, he's alive," the yamen servant said, "Didn't you listen to what the doctor said? His life was saved for the time being. It seems that the murderer dealt with him and let him live on purpose."

"Yeah? That's intentional," the other shook his head and sighed, "Oh, it's so cruel, living is suffering, it's better to die!"

Just as they were talking, the two had seen Xu Zhen and hurriedly stood up straight.

"Second brothers," Xu Zhen hurriedly asked, "What did you just say? Is it a palace? Is that Tong County magistrate?"

"Yes," said one of the yamen servants, "you brought the man back, don't you know?"

ho...

Xu Zhen was surprised, and only then remembered that he did not check the clothes of County Magistrate Tong at that time, unexpectedly, a knife was also used inside.

"Then..." Xu Zhen asked again, "He's awake now? Did he say anything?"

"Wake up? Hehe," the yamen servant laughed, "Even if he wakes up, he can't say anything, right? He's dumb, he's been drugged to make him dumb.

"That's right, that monk is really ruthless," said the other, "one eye is blind, one ear is deaf, the voice is hoarse, and none of the ten fingers and toes are left. How much hatred is this?"

Originally, Xu Zhen wanted to ask them if they could think of any old cases, but seeing that the two of them were also very young, he asked instead:

"Brothers, have you seen Catcher Cheng? Is he at the Grand Master's place?"

"No," the two replied almost at the same time, "They went to the prison together! They seemed to be leaving in a hurry."

Prison?

Xu Zhen thought secretly, it seems that they went to see that monk!

That's okay, they must expose the monk's identity in person now, so they have to go over quickly to see, who is this person?
So Xu Zhen rushed to the cell quietly.

Unexpectedly, just as he arrived, he heard the monk laughing: "Hahahaha...hahahaha..."

The arrogant and surly laughter made people get goosebumps when they heard it.

"Say!" Next came Song Zhili's questioning voice, "Who are you from the Qi family? If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this time, Xu Zhen found that there were still a few policemen standing next to the monk's cell, so he stood short and stood behind them.

"Hahahaha..." The monk laughed a few more times before saying, "Master Song, I still have two crossword puzzles here, why don't you solve them?"

As he said that, without waiting for Song Zhili's reaction, he began to read aloud: "Six cleanses are also wrong, hibiscus flowers only show their faces when they bloom. Hahahaha..."

There is also a mistake in the cleanliness of the six roots...

Xu Zhen's mind was spinning rapidly, trying to solve the crossword puzzle as soon as possible.

However, Song Zhili's speed was obviously faster than him, and within a few seconds after the monk finished reading, Song Zhili was shocked suddenly, and his body shivered violently.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to be suffering from vertigo. After shaking a few times, he sat down on the cold floor of the cell.

"My lord... my lord..." Cheng Xiao didn't know why, so he hurried forward to help him.

However, before he could support him, Song Zhili jumped up from the ground, grabbed Cheng Xiao's collar tightly, his eyes were red, and he shouted hoarsely: "Quick, go and see my children!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing Song Zhili's reaction, the monk laughed even more wildly...
