Chapter 1101 The old case ten years ago

Su Xin's hearing is still very good now, and she can vaguely hear the sound of opening the door.

Then Mingzai greeted with concern: "San Niang, you are finally back, I simmered the food in the stove, I will serve it for you..."

"Okay, thank you." It could be heard that Sanniang was indeed extremely tired.

She took off her cloak and put it on the counter next to her, then sat directly on the stool and beat her sore legs.

When she looked up, she saw a bright light in the room on the second floor, and stopped Ming Zai who had already walked to the door of the backyard, and asked, "Are there any customers in our shop?"

Ming Zai replied: "Isn't that right, at the end of the afternoon today, a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old came and said she was here to seek refuge with relatives, but she didn't know that relatives were gone, there was no way...so..."

While talking, Sanniang had already brought the food over.

Sanniang is really tired and hungry now, she was asked by County Master Qi for a long time that day, and then she helped them do the "restore the scene", she was exhausted.

However, the accidents happened when those people went out from their inn, and she felt very sad, and the county lord and the yamen servants were all there, so she didn't say anything. She, an ordinary person, should try her best to cooperate with the government to solve the case. .

Because it was getting late, Lord Qi asked a servant to take her to the door of the store before leaving.

After taking two mouthfuls of hot soup, he asked, "By the way, have you delivered any food to the guests?"

Mingzai: "No, she said she brought dry food, and she won't need it for a few days."

The two chatted about the day.

After Sanniang finished eating, she went upstairs to see how the guests were doing.

Here, Su Xin tidied up her room, because she was tired in Moon Village for a few days, and she is not a powerful monk in the alchemy stage. She has spiritual power to temper and cultivate her body, so she can only recover slowly through rest.

Su Xin listened to the conversation between the two just now.

It turned out that there was a murder case in the county town. With Su Xin's professional sensitivity as a detective, she always felt that there must be something in it.

Otherwise, there are few people here, the personnel composition is very simple, and the relationship between each other is very clear, it is impossible not to find the murderer.

But if I haven't found it yet, and asked an inn proprietress to help with on-site restoration, then I must have encountered an extraordinary case.

Sanniang asked if there was anything else she needed.

Su Xin said that everything was fine, and asked, "Just now, I heard that Sanniang and Mingzai were talking, and I heard that there was a murder case here, can you tell me about it?"

For those who opened the store, these things were taboo, but now that the store has become like this, I am afraid that after this incident, they will also close down and find another way to make a living.

So he sighed and said: "Anyway, the store is already like this, but I'm afraid that telling you will make Miss Su Xin afraid."

"It's okay, you can just say it. To be honest, my ancestors originally opened an escort agency. In addition to helping people deliver things, they would often accept some people and things or other commissions. After I left, I had no choice but to join my relatives, who knows... oh... So, maybe I can be of some help."

It turns out that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, Sanniang began to say: "Actually, the matter started ten years ago..."

ten years ago?
Su Xin's heart suddenly jumped, ten years?Why do you feel that this number is so familiar, as if you have heard it somewhere.

"Actually, our Zigui County used to be quite prosperous. Take our inn as an example, the rooms are basically full. But ten years ago, the house of Zhu Yuanwai in the city suddenly caught fire for some reason. The fire was so fierce that the All of them were burnt up. Because it was late at night, they all slept deeply, and none of them escaped. Anyway, when they went to clean up later, according to those people, they all died in their own beds, and they were burned to death just like that. , there is no trace of struggle."

"The government has searched for a long time and found no human-made traces. Moreover, Zhu Yuanwai is also very kind. He would often open a porridge shop with food. He also built a philanthropic hall for the homeless to shelter from the wind and rain. So that A fire case became an unsolved case. Since then, people living nearby said that they often heard or saw movement inside. Every night, the house that was originally a ruin would be brightly lit with red bricks and green tiles, like It’s like it’s just been built, there’s a lot of people inside, people come and go, it’s very lively…”

Hearing what Sanniang said, Su Xin made a preliminary judgment in her heart, perhaps it was really a supernatural event.

However, she still pretended to be very surprised, and said, "In that case, did you find someone to take a look?"

The "people" she is talking about are naturally Taoist monks, exorcising ghosts and saving souls of the dead.

San Niang: "I did, of course I did. But it's useless."

Just yesterday, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist gown with a gossip array came. He seemed to have some skills, but within a quarter of an hour after entering, there was a scream.

Lord Qi led someone to break in the door, and saw that the Taoist priest was hung by a vine on the dead tree in the middle, and even his tongue fell out. If it was later, he might die again.

Su Xin: "So powerful?"

"Oh, isn't it?"

Su Xin was a little puzzled: "Then... since I already know that there is something evil going on, I just heard Ming Zai say that you are helping the county lord and the others to do on-site restoration?"

Sanniang sighed, "Oh, I've never seen you break the casserole and ask the end. That thing is really evil. The few people who died before lived in our store, and then died inexplicably the next day On the barren hills outside the city, there is a mass grave where poor families without ancestral graves usually bury their people. Those people are all naked and entangled in dead locust tree branches, while their clothes appear in the ruins ...I was asked to identify the dead... Alas"

Su Xin pondered, thinking secretly in her heart.

I only heard Sanniang say quietly: "... Alas, all the people who can move out of the city are gone now, even those around the county are gradually afraid to enter the city. I think this county will become a dead city sooner or later. "

The two chatted for a few words, Su Xin got a general understanding of the situation, and the proprietress left to rest.

Su Xin lay down and rested, because she was already very good at controlling her thoughts, she soon became quiet and fell asleep.

This was the first time she really fell asleep after she came to this world.

When I was in Moon Village, because of the Yantang incident, I didn't get a good night's sleep for a few days.

Falling asleep at this time, the body is completely relaxed, and only then does the body feel really tired.

In the dark, the trace of spiritual power in the dantian slowly moved, and began to circulate slowly along the meridians of her body.

After being nourished by spiritual power, the originally exhausted muscles and bones are revitalized, and the physical fitness is also subtly improved.

In the deep sleep, Su Xin suddenly felt a chill hit her, and the vigilance she had cultivated for many years made her tremble, and she was about to wake up instinctively.
