I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 3 The Second Dead

The old woman probably didn't expect such a loud noise from her dilapidated body. She fell to the ground and walked a long way while rolling and crawling.

Two men came out of the nearest house and ran towards the direction of the old woman's finger to have a look, and then one of the men hurriedly said to the other: "Er Shun, you and your siblings are staying at home to guard your sister-in-law, don't be alarmed. Follow her, I will report to the police."

"Okay, don't worry, brother." The man named Er Shun hurried home and gave some instructions, then came out and closed the door, and then stood guard at the door and kept looking at the intersection.

"It's really bad luck. I just wanted to sell the house and died here. Bad luck, really bad luck." A middle-aged man with a bloated figure and a gray-brown turban said extremely impatiently.

The woman beside him tugged at the hem of his short skirt: "Oh, please don't say a few words." That's what he said, but he could still see the same disgust and irritability as a man from his face.

"Yo, is it the second one this month?"

"Isn't it? Another one died in just a few days. What do you think is going on?"

"I heard that the woman was killed a few days ago. The officials sent a lot of people to the Yamen for questioning. My husband also went there for three or four hours."

"Yes, yes, I see Zhao Butou has brought people all over the city looking for something in the past few days."

In a short while, the whole alley was surrounded by many people, and the words became more and more evil, people were panicked, and their expressions were terrified.

Lu Xizhi from Xiansilou also heard the old woman's yelling, something popped into his mind, and thought: Sure enough!Then he stood up reflexively and rushed out the door.

"It's a pity, it's a pity! Where are you going?"

"Miss, miss~~~ wait for me!!" The little girl Chunxiang blinked, and her lady ran out of the corner of the alley.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the government handles the case, get out of the way." The black-faced man with the appearance of an official knife pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, followed by another officer, an old man with a big box on his back, and the man who had reported to the police before.

The old man seemed to be struggling, and when he was approaching the corpse, he staggered and almost knelt down, thanks to the burly officers and soldiers around him who quickly supported him.

The black-faced officers and soldiers asked with concern: "Old Wangtou, can you hold on?"

The man who was called Old Wangtou supported his waist, "Oh, I'm really old. Fortunately, my son should be back in two days. I'll leave this matter to him then, let's take a look."

"I'll get the box, tell me what to use."

"Help me take out the protective gear, and put down the others first."

Hei Lian took out something from the box and handed it to Old Wang: "Here."

After all, he walked forward with the old Wang's head supported, and when he got dressed, he squatted down and began to examine the corpse.

"Dahe, put away this oiled paper umbrella." Heimian instructed another person behind him, and then turned his attention back to Old Wangtou. "Well, did you find anything?"

"The woman was about twenty. She seemed to have died not long ago. There was an obvious strangle mark on her neck. She must have been killed and abandoned here. Her tendons were cut off on both feet." Paused for a while, frowning , muttering with some hesitation, "This is very similar to the strangle marks and cut marks on the necks of the female corpses found five days ago, and they are all wearing only jackets. As for whether they have been violated, we will have to go back and investigate." He began to say to the officers and soldiers: "There is still that umbrella."

After hearing the narration, Heimian raised his head to look at the hot sun, then at the old clerk who was already sweating profusely, and ordered to the people behind: "Dahe, go and notify Catcher Zhao, and then ask two brothers to take the The body was carried to the yamen."

"I'll go right away, so here you are alone...?" Dahe was slightly worried.

"Go and come back quickly, leave this to me first." Heimian pushed him.

"it is good."

The conversation between the old Wangtou and the black face was not loud, but there were some people who were close to the ears and listened to it, and there was a gasp of surprise.

Lu Xizhi passed through the crowd, and saw only a small area in the middle of the crowd. An officer-like man was protecting an old man with a white beard with a big knife on his waist, and kept shouting: "Everyone, step back, step back, Don't get close." The white-haired old man squatted on the ground and kept looking back and forth, while the people around him were still chattering a few steps away from the corpse.

Thanks to these "Chaoyang masses", Lu Xizhi knew the ins and outs in a short while.

Lu Xizhi's first reaction was the man in black with the smell of blood last night. Could it be that the man is the murderer?My heart suddenly annoyed!
So many onlookers in front of me will bring serious disasters to the survey site. I take a step forward to stop it, but suddenly wake up. I am no longer the investigator of the police station, but an ancient lady from the official family. I have to find a way .

Relying on her petite figure, Lu Xizhi deftly turned around a few times, came not far from the officers and soldiers, and seemingly casually said: "Listen to my mother, there are poisonous insects on dead people, and when they are turned over, they will jump out and fly to the people to take root. People who come here will be itchy and full of abscesses, which is terrible." After speaking, he rubbed his upper arms with both hands, feeling very horrified and disgusted.

"What are you talking about, little girl? Why haven't we heard of such a thing." A certain woman who spoke the loudest in the crowd flew a saber at Lu Xizhi, and many people turned their heads to look at Lu Xizhi.

"Auntie, it's true." Pulling his sleeves, Lu Xizhi continued: "My mother also said that there used to be a nephew of a distant relative in my hometown who stood a little closer to the dead person and accidentally got it. With sores, people left in less than three days, and the appearance of death is particularly terrifying."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xizhi took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, "I don't know how long this one has been dead, and I'm afraid there are quite a few bugs, I don't dare to look at it."

Seeing that the little girl is white and clean, and she is well dressed, she doesn't look like a stingy liar.Many women with dolls, and some young daughters-in-law with baskets of vegetables followed suit, shuffling their clothes as they retreated, for fear that the insects would stick to them.

As a result, the center of the crowd was much wider, leaving only a few bold men watching in the distance.

Only then did the black-faced officers and soldiers free their hands, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads vigorously.From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Lu Xizhi's direction just now, and when he saw that it was a young girl who couldn't guess her age, he was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Qi Yong, this is very likely to be committed by the same person as the previous murder case. I will go back and check the rest carefully." Old Wangtou looked serious, supported his knees, and slowly stood up.

"What?" Next month is the emperor's birthday, if this is really a serial killing, what to do, Qi Yong's head is numb, and he is a little anxious.

While talking, Lu Xizhi saw five or six strong men walking in from the alley. They were all wearing the official uniform of the government servants. The uniform of the leader was a little different, it looked like the captain.

A group of people walked in front of Qi Yong, and heard the leader say: "Old Wangtou, did you find anything?"

The old Wangtou pouted at the crowd, signaling his attention. "Zhao Butou, let's go back to the Yamen and talk about it in detail. We will have to go back and investigate carefully."

The man named Zhao Butou showed concern on his face, knowing that the matter was not easy, he hurriedly said: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he waved to the two yamen guards behind him: "Zhang Dong and Wen Yiming, you two carry the body back , we'll come later."

"Old Wangtou, you go back with them."

Finally, he told the remaining three people: "Check around to see if there are any suspicious items, and remember to take them back to the Yamen."

"Dayong, follow me to ask the nearby residents."

Sensing an eager gaze, Zhao Xuanwu turned his head to search.A light green and beautiful figure came into view, and the girl stared at him eagerly with her big watery eyes.

——"That girl, do you know her?"

"My lord, I don't know her, but that girl is very clever, and she helped my subordinates get out of the siege just now."

"Look at it for now, don't make a sound."

However, Lu Xizhi had already made up his mind at the moment, so he quickly grabbed Chunxiang who had rushed over, confessed a few words, and quickly followed a few yamen servants and disappeared into the corner of the street.
