Demon detective

Chapter 66 Ghost Face
Both are anagrams.

There is also a mistake in the six roots of cleanliness, it should be a word for "text".

When the hibiscus flower blooms and shows its face, it is a word for "rong".

Song Zhili has a son and a daughter. The 11-year-old son is Song Youwen, and the [-]-year-old daughter is Song Yourong.

Obviously, the two anagrams that the monk came up with refer to Song Zhili's son and daughter.

Although Song Zhili is not from Songzhou, his sister-in-law lives in Daguancheng.

A few days ago, because of being disturbed by Qiu Batian's affairs, Song Zhili asked his wife to take the children to visit relatives at his aunt's house.

But he never imagined that it would become like this now!
Snapped……

In the cell, Song Zhili punched the wall with his fists, filled with resentment and urgency.

"My lord," Cheng Xiao quickly comforted, "I have already sent someone to investigate! Maybe that monk was just bluffing."

"Blushing, oh... oh..." He turned to thumping his heart fiercely, "I don't understand, what does this have to do with me? He wants revenge, avenge him, why did he come after me? I Isn't that unlucky enough? Alas..."

"My lord," Cheng Xiao said, "don't worry too much. I'll go and interrogate this monk right now. I don't believe that he can survive our severe punishment. At worst, I'll goug one of his eyes first to see if he dares." to be honest?"

After saying that, Cheng Xiao turned around and wanted to leave.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Song Zhili hurriedly stopped Cheng Xiao tremblingly, and said, "The situation is unknown now, if my child is really in his hands... No, absolutely not, I can't let Youwen, There is room for any mistakes..."

"Ah!" This time, Cheng Xiao also thumped the wall hard, and said through gritted teeth, "This monk is really deceiving people, I really wish I could scratch him alive."

"No...that's not right," Song Zhili said with a sad face, "If he came to avenge, now that the revenge has been avenged, why...why do you have to torture me? He...what else does he want to do?"

"This..." Cheng Xiao's face tightened slightly, and he thought for a while and said, "Is it...he wants to blackmail him with this, and ask you to let him go?"

"Really?" Song Zhili's IQ is still online even though Song Zhili's heart is in a mess right now, and he shook his head immediately and said, "That's impossible. Wouldn't it be better not to come to the Yamen just to let him go? What riddles do you want to guess?"

"Yes, yes." Cheng Xiao lowered his head, his face already gloomy.

"Cheng Butou," Song Zhili calmed down a little at this time, and said, "We can't just wait here, you go and call Xu Zhen for me."

"What?" Cheng Xiao was taken aback, "Xu Zhen? What are you calling him for?"

"Hey," Song Zhili sighed, "Although he has tricked us, I have to admit that he has a flexible mind and a lot of ideas. I want to see if he can do something? You should hurry up!"

"My lord..." Cheng Xiao couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid that he will trick us again!"

"This..." Song Zhili was very surprised, because Cheng Xiao seldom refused orders.

"My lord," Cheng Xiao said a little excitedly, "Don't forget, Lord Sima and Lord Cai are both here. I'm afraid that kid will be dishonest and play tricks on us behind our backs."

This……

Cheng Xiao's words made Song Zhili calm down again. He almost forgot about Qiu Batian's case. Yes, if Sima Xin and Cai Jin knew that another big case broke out in their yamen, they would definitely be scolded again. .

Moreover, the monk's case also involves several important cases. Once it is revealed, it may be another storm. How can I stand it?
……

Just when Song Zhili was burning with anxiety and confused, Xu Zhen had already found out the information he wanted to know.

"It's really raining early in the house, and it's raining again and again!" Outside the gate of the Southern Prison, Chen Houlu, the county magistrate, sighed at Xu Zhen, "If Lord Song's family is really kidnapped by the monk, the consequences will be dire. It’s just too unimaginable.”

It turned out that Xu Zhen aimed the breakthrough at Chen Houlu. When he saw Chen Houlu hurried out of the prison, he went directly to inquire about the case.

After all, Chen Houlu was not full of prejudice against Xu Zhen like Song Zhili and Cheng Xiao, so he immediately told Xu Zhen the ins and outs without any defense.

Perhaps in Chen Houlu's view, Xu Zhen is the one who can really solve the crisis?
"Master Chen," Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "Who is that monk? Why did he seek revenge from these three people?"

"The monk should be from the Qi family, and he came here to avenge a case." Chen Houlu replied, "That happened 13 years ago, but I feel that there is nothing wrong with that case, right? "

"The Qi family?" Xu Zhen asked again, "What kind of case is that?"

"Oh, this case is really big!" Chen Houlu looked around and said to Xu Zhen in a low voice, "That is the most sensational case in Yanping County so far. You must have heard of it, it is the girl The serial killing case is also called the ghost face killer case!"

what?
Serial massacres of girls?
Ghost-faced killer?
Xu Zhen hurriedly searched his memory and actually found some relevant information.

"In just three months," Chen Houlu recalled sadly, "six girls died, what a miserable death! Rape and murder are not enough, and they have to ruin their faces, alas...

"In the beginning, people in our yamen called this man the killer of the face-destroyer... But somehow, it was passed around, and everyone called him the killer of the ghost face! I don't know, I thought the murderer was wearing a ghost mask. ..."

Oh……

Xu Zhen was horrified. In his memory, he only knew that it was a serial murder case, and he didn't know too many details.

"So, there is nothing wrong with this case?" Chen Houlu seemed to be lost in his own memories, and said again, "Let's not talk about the witness and material evidence, at least after Qi Dalang was arrested, there has never been a similar case! Didn't he still Who could it be?"

"Qi Dalang?"

"Qi Dalang's name is Qi Yunfang, I will never forget this name for the rest of my life," Chen Houlu said, "He is the ghost-faced killer, and the case was handled by Tong County Magistrate, and Shen Yu's father arrested him.

"Also, Liu Sanyang and Lu Yusheng are both witnesses, one saw the victim's clothes in Qi Dalang's home, and the other saw Qi Dalang appeared at the scene of the crime with blood on his body.

"That's right, I was there during the trial," Chen Houlu waved his hand, "Then Qi Dalang confessed, I really don't understand, what kind of revenge does this monk want?"

Oh……

Only then did Xu Zhen understand that the monk was probably Qi Dalang's relative. He believed that Qi Dalang was an unjust case and wanted to find justice for Qi Dalang.

Now, he has killed magistrate Tong and two witnesses, so...

Whoops!

Xu Zhen suddenly thumped, and hurriedly asked: "You said just now that it was Mr. Shen who arrested Qi Dalang?"

"Hey?" Chen Houlu slapped his forehead, stomped his feet and said, "It's bad, why did I forget about this, didn't he also attack old Shen?"

not good……

Xu Zhen also feels bad, because Shen Yu has been sleeping at his own home for the past few nights, does his old man ignore her, or... something unexpected has happened?
