Chapter 7 The Missing Person
Dan'an City, Yamen.

Liu Butou took Wu Zuo to the backyard of the yamen to inspect the corpses brought out from Gu's house.

The Gu family has a total of 46 members, except for Gu Jiangwen, the son-in-law who went to the capital to study.

There are four people in the main family, not including Gu Jiangwen, the head of the family Gu Chengping, his wife Mrs. Gu, a concubine, and an illegitimate child...

The remaining 42 are servants and nurses.

There were 18 female family members, and all of them were beheaded without exception. The head of the family, Gu Chengping, was found burned to death in the room. After an autopsy, it was concluded that Gu Chengping had died long before the fire started.

Like other men, they all died with their chest pierced.

The illegitimate son, Gu Chen, was found lying on the path in front of the side house, and was later rescued by Liu Butou. After the rescue, his life was saved for the time being.

None of the other males survived, including the rescued servants who were still alive, and all died of their injuries.

But...there are 24 men in Gu's mansion, but now there are only 22 corpses lying here.

Counting Gu Chen who is still alive, there are 23 people.

Then there is another person... Where did he go?
Liu Butou frowned, his fingers tapped unconsciously on the handle of his knife slowly.

The owner of the yamen, County Magistrate Deng, complained that he could not afford to recuperate in the back this morning, and now the case of Gu's extermination of the family has been temporarily handed over to Liu Butou.

And if there is no accident, it won't be long before the superiors will send people from Pinghu Division to take full responsibility for the matter.

The Pinghu Department of the State of Qi is an important department dedicated to the Jianghu people. Any troubles caused by the Jianghu people, or cases involving the Jianghu, must be handled by the Pinghu Department.

Gu's family was wiped out overnight. This is not something ordinary people can do, at least he is a master of the rivers and lakes, and he is also a master-level master who is proficient in the way of assassination.

A Jianghu master of this level is already worthy of being dealt with by Pinghu Division.

only……

"An existence that can kill more than 40 people overnight without leaving any traces of itself, is there really someone in the world who can do this?"

This is the real question in Liu Butou's mind.

Liu Butou is also a martial arts practitioner, and Liu Butou can somewhat understand how strong a martial arts practitioner can be.

The so-called master-level masters, no matter how good their lightness skills and martial arts are, they will definitely leave their own traces when they kill people.

However, according to Liu Butou's investigation, there is no sign of people from the Jianghu who have been in the ruins of Gu's mansion. It will also leave some traces.

And today, after recalling what happened yesterday, Liu Butou remembered another thing that made his hair stand on end.

Among the more than 40 people who died, there were two teams of nursing homes, and the number of the first team of nursing homes was five.

The two teams alternately patrolled the Gu mansion to prevent thieves from breaking in.

The standing pattern of the two teams is one two two, that is, one person in the front leads the team, and the four behind them are divided into two rows and walk side by side.

According to this formation, if a master of the rivers and lakes breaks in, kill the two people in the back row first, and the guards in the front row who also practice martial arts will definitely find something wrong behind them.

Even if the master of the rivers and lakes is really strong in martial arts and can kill everyone in an instant, Gu's nursing home is also an ordinary person with some martial arts in him, so there is still time to look back.

But judging from the situation of those corpses lying on the ground, the two teams of guards, a total of ten people, died almost at the same time, and there was no reaction time at all!

A master of the rivers and lakes will never be able to do it, at least in Liu Butou's knowledge, no master of the rivers and lakes can do this!
Liu Tutou, who used to know some secrets of the Jianghu, felt even more heavy, because if this matter was not done by people from the Jianghu...

"Liu Tou! People from Pinghu Division are here!"

Just when Liu Butou was faintly afraid of this matter, some of his subordinates ran over and said to him.

Liu Butou was shocked:
"So fast?"

The Great Qi Pinghu Division is mainly established in the capital cities of the major states, as well as some more important cities, such as port cities and border cities.

Dan'an City is located in the center of Ningzhou. It is neither near the sea nor a border city. Naturally, there are no people from Pinghu Division stationed here. Therefore, if Pinghu Division comes here, they can only send people from Pinghu Division in Ningzhou City.

The distance between Ningzhou City and Dan'an City will take about a day's journey even if you go fast, and the letter about the affairs of the Gu Mansion in Dan'an City only left Dan'an City today, so it stands to reason that no matter how fast, the people in Pinghu Division will at least It will take two days to come over.

But it's only been a morning, before noon, Pinghu Division came?
Is it that fast?
Liu Butou was amazed at the speed of Pinghu Division's work, but he didn't think about it, and immediately asked his subordinates to take him to meet the Pinghu Division's catcher.

Not long after, Catcher Liu followed his men to the main hall, and saw the Pinghu Division police officer who came from nowhere.

This detective of unknown rank was holding a file in one hand while drinking the tea served by the servant.

When Liu Butou came in, he was also sizing up the other party. The adult of Pinghu Division was about thirty years old, with a beardless face, a square appearance, and a very strong and tall body. Even if he was sitting, he could be seen at least seven feet tall.

Seeing Liu Butou coming in, the Master Pinghusi didn't even move, he just looked up at Liu Butou, and then fled a sign from his arms and put it on the table.

The sign was palm-sized and made of sapphire. Liu Tutou couldn't see the back of the sign, but he could still see the characters on the front of the sign.

That's a word for 'tour'.

"!! Subordinate Liu Yuan, I have seen Mr. Patrolman!"

The moment Liu Yuan saw the sign, he immediately knelt down on one knee to salute.

The Pinghu Division patrolled and was a middle-level figure in the Pinghu Division.

In the entire Pinghu Division, the highest position is the director, followed by the assistant director, the guardian envoy, the patrol envoy, and then the state patrol envoy, followed by the patrol.

There are a total of 24 prefectural patrols, including twelve prefectures, each prefecture has two people, and their position is Cong Wupin, second only to the local magistrate in official circles.

Although Pinghu Division is not considered an official, but even so, such a rank in Dan'an County, where the highest rank is only a seventh-rank official, is still a great figure. According to the rules, Liu Yuan must salute.

This means that the county magistrate is not here, otherwise he would have to salute.

"Ah."

After Liu Yuan finished saluting, the policeman responded indifferently, and signaled Liu Yuan to get up with his eyes.

Afterwards, Liu Yuan listened to the police officer say, "I've heard about the Gu family, it seems... there is still one alive?"

"Yes, the survivor is the illegitimate son of the Gu family. His name is Gu Chen. He has no name. He is currently living in Dongshao Medical Center."

"Take me to see."

Putting down the file in his hand, the patrol stood up and said.

Liu Yuan also deduced from these roughly that the patrolman seemed to be a vigorous and resolute person.

As soon as he arrived at the county government office, he checked the dossiers. When Liu Yuan came over, the dossiers were almost complete, so he immediately got up and went to question the witnesses who were still alive.

Although I don't know whether the policeman showed such a side because the accident happened to the Gu family, or whether his character is like this, but no matter what, with such a policeman standing in front of him, Liu Butou still feels at ease Quite a lot.

The personnel in the Pinghu Division are all martial arts masters with strong martial arts. If they are placed in the Jianghu, they can at least have their own names. Among them, the people who occupy important positions have martial arts that are beyond imagination, at least better than Liu Yuan. An unknown soldier who is not worth mentioning in the arena is stronger.

With this policeman around, no matter what the thing that destroyed Gu's family is, if they encounter it later, they will at least be able to resist to some extent.
