I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 137 Weird
The place where the incident happened was about [-] miles away from Hongxian County. Although the nearly one-hour journey was bumpy, Lu Xizhi did not feel flustered or uncomfortable as before, because her mind was occupied by scarecrows without heads and ghosts in red. up.

Before entering the city, I could see from a distance that many people were already entering and leaving the county town, and it was so bustling.

On the official road in the middle, there was a sedan chair parked. Lu Xizhi guessed that it was Yu Jinshan, the county magistrate, waiting for them.

County magistrate, she got up really early, she was thoughtful.

When he got to the front, Yu Jinshan respectfully saluted, then looked up, and saw Lu Xizhi's hands were covered with blood, and the eye-catching scarecrow with a decapitated head. He was so frightened that he stepped back several steps, panicked and incoherent: This, this...

There were already many people looking at this side, Lu Xizhi hurriedly said: "Is Yu the county magistrate, let's go to the yamen first."

Yu Jinshan pretended to be calm and agreed on the surface, but he was speculating on Lu Xizhi's identity in his heart.All the subjects of Da Jin knew that Yuan Yanxi, the demon leader of the East Factory, was ruthless, cruel, and unfeminine... But she actually rode the same horse with the governor of the Great Factory, what was the reason?
Yuan Yanxi frowned, but disagreed, "Even if you want to investigate the case, you have to eat and sleep!" He turned to Yu Jinshan: "Find a place to settle near the yamen, and we'll talk about the case later."

Lu Xizhi just wanted to refute, but stopped when she saw the man's unkind expression.

Yu Jinshan's work efficiency is very fast, and he lives next to the Yamen, just two gates in the middle.

After sending Yu Jinshan away, Lu Xizhi went into the wing room assigned to her. The house was not big, and it was equipped with a clean room, which was very convenient for women. It could be seen that it had been cleaned up and down not long ago. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was still It looked clean.

Yuan Yanxi came over to check, and after confirming that it was safe, the two studied the current case and made the next arrangement for finding the red-clothed 'ghost', and asked the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles and some side dishes. He also went back to his room to rest.

Lu Xizhi put the scarecrow on the stool and thought about it for a while, but he was still puzzled.

Just now she expressed her opinion on the absence of any footprints around the corpse, but Yuan Yanxi vetoed it.

I still think of their conversation in my ears: "Xixi, do you think I haven't thought about it? But when I heard the detailed autopsy done by you, I realized that I thought it was simple."

"how?"

"Jia Dafu's limbs were cut off, and his internal organs were also hollowed out. Only the two police officers who participated in the maintenance of the scene at that time, as well as the coroner of the autopsy and the county magistrate knew these details."

so cruel!

"The murderer is indeed vicious, but does this have anything to do with my inference?"

Yuan Yanxi pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Although we know how to do light work, there is no way to perform these movements by hovering in the air as you said, do you understand now?"

Thinking of this, she shook her head, rubbed her shoulders, rode the horse all night, felt uncomfortable all over, took off her clothes and entered the clean room, Yu Jinshan had already had hot water provided, she slowly sat in, surrounded by hot water Own.

After several days of running around, I was really tired. After a hasty shower, I was about to go back to my room to sleep, but just as I walked to the bed, there was the sound of something falling outside the door.

"Who?"

It was quiet, Lu Xizhi quietly walked to the door, leaned against the wooden board and listened carefully for a while, but there was still no movement.

It should be that I was overthinking. This day, everything was in turmoil, and I was nervous. I walked back to the bed and lifted the quilt, but there was another sound behind me.

Lu Xizhi turned around sharply. This time, there seemed to be a strange, heavy breathing sound coming from the corridor.

She resisted the trembling in her heart, frowned and asked, "Who is outside?"

There was still no one talking outside the door, Lu Xizhi was a little annoyed, who is pretending to be a ghost, at this moment...

"Someone hurt me." The voice was very thin and sharp, with a strange ambiguity, and it was barely recognizable as a man's voice.
Suddenly, the voice suddenly became shrill, it was obviously no longer the male voice just now, and for a moment it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman, whether the person was crying or laughing, and Lu Xizhi couldn't help but feel his scalp twitching when he heard the gloomy cry. Ma, a burst of fear.

She didn't open the door blindly, the shouting continued for a while, then stopped abruptly.

"Xixi!"

Yuan Yanxi's voice full of worry and panic came, and she kicked open the wooden door forcefully, rushed into the house like a whirlwind, looked around, and finally found her behind the door.

Without hesitation, he hugged her into his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

After a few minutes like this, Lu Xizhi finally couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Yuan Yanxi was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at her carefully, confirming that the little girl was indeed all right, and was relieved when she was still having fun.

The man seemed to have just finished taking a bath, so he ran over in a hurry, wearing only a thin shirt, and there was a burst of fragrance from his body, Lu Xizhi felt that he seemed to be drunk.

The two stood in the room for a while, until Donghai and Nanyang came to report back, and there was nothing unusual around them.

Lu Xizhi shyly pushed her away, then walked to the window as if nothing had happened, and looked out.

Um?and many more…

There seemed to be something strange, she turned around and looked around the whole room, suddenly, she pointed to the chair in horror, Yuan Yanxi followed her fingers and noticed something was wrong.

That scarecrow is gone!
There is not much furniture in the room, and it can be swept away at a glance. The scarecrow just disappeared out of thin air, just a bath time.Lu Xizhi looked at the open window, walked over slowly, and poked his head out. This is the third floor, and the window was empty. The nearest big tree was 20 meters away.

"Xingyun!" Yuan Yanxi shouted.

With a swish, the woman in black knelt on one knee in the room.

"Did you see anyone just now?"

"Going back to the master, I didn't see anyone outside the house."

Lu Xizhi searched carefully again, and finally turned his gaze to the next room, which was where Yuan Yanxi slept, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

This scarecrow is too weird, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

Dong Hai was full of suspicion, tilted his head and said, "Is there really a ghost?"

Lu Xizhi immediately denied it: "A lot of things can't be explained for the time being, but it doesn't mean there is no answer. It's like a lock. There is always a key to open it, but we haven't found it yet. If you kill me, you won't believe that there is no answer in this world." ghost."

Now that nothing happened, Lu Xizhi said that he wanted to sleep, and Yuan Yanxi wanted to stay with her, but she pushed him out with a blushing face.

After everyone left, Lu Xizhi sat on the chair and thought for a long time. She carefully checked the window again, but she still didn't find any traces.I had no choice but to close the window and make sure the door was locked before getting into the bed. My head hurt a little, so I didn't want to think about anything.

After sleeping deeply all night, she got up early the next day, but someone was already eating breakfast earlier than her.

"Are you up? Look at your black eyes, didn't you sleep last night?" Yuan Yanxi said with disapproval.

Lu Xizhi took a gulp of soy milk, picked up another pan-fried bun, and ate hungrily.

This cannot be blamed on her. I drove all night yesterday, encountered a female ghost and heavy rain in the woods before dawn, finally arrived at the place where I lived, and experienced the loss of the scarecrow...

His stomach was already empty, and he swallowed three steamed buns in a row, only then did he feel alive.

"I'm asleep, but I'm very hungry." Wiping the veil casually on his mouth, he raised his dull eyes and looked at him.

Yuan Yanxi didn't joke, and was full of distress, "Xixi, you have a good rest here today, tell Beixue and Xifeng to do something."

"No, these things are too bizarre. I want to investigate myself to see who is playing tricks."

The two went to the yard and saw someone cleaning the bloody white horse yesterday. Lu Xizhi was a little emotional. Too many things happened yesterday, but he forgot about the horse. If it was before, take a blood test and test the DNA There will be results, and there is no need to spend so much effort.

When the horse washer saw the two distinguished guests coming downstairs, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, led Lu Xizhi and Yuan Yanxi through the living room on the first floor, to the backyard, and through another door, into the yamen.

It was still early, there was nothing to do in the yamen, and many arresters were still having breakfast.

Hearing someone yelling, everyone stood up. However, when they saw Governor Yuan Dachang in red, their faces were stunned, and then they became nervous. They put down their things and gathered in the courtyard.

The voices of several people whispering were heard by Lu Xizhi's sharp ears. They were suspicious of the well-known Factory Governor Yuan and who the woman beside him was.

Lu Xizhi didn't take it seriously. In a world where men are superior to women, it's normal for an extra woman to walk together swaggeringly.

A man who looked like a leader asked them to wait. He went to invite Yu Jinshan, but ran out of the county government office after he finished speaking. The others were silent and bowed their heads in silence.

Yuan Yanxi frowned tightly, and turned his head to signal Donghai to go and see what was going on.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Jinshan hurried over, wiping the sweat from his forehead while trotting. It was early autumn, but the person who came was sweating profusely and his face was flushed.

Yu Jinshan smiled awkwardly, and then said with fear: "The minister Yu Jinshan is late, please punish Yuan Factory."

Yuan Yanxi didn't mean to blame him, instead he smiled and followed him into the lobby.
