Chapter 32 Yellow Clothes (4)

"However, since an eyewitness reported the incident, Mr. Chen immediately mobilized his troops and rushed to the place where the incident occurred. That night, he searched the mountain with torches. The Orion families beside the mountain also participated in the investigation. Together, everyone searched until the sky was clear. Liang, not to mention the broken bones, not even the traces of blood could be found, not even half of the tiger hair was visible."

"But the three people swore that the four of them rode up to the ridge to see the beacon tower. Unexpectedly, in broad daylight, a big tiger with an eye-catching white forehead suddenly appeared in the wild forest. The victim was walking on The one at the front was dragged off his horse by a tiger and bitten until he saw that he could no longer survive and was taken away by the tiger in his mouth."

"Within less than half a moment, the three of them were so frightened that their horses lay aside and refused to move. After the big tiger disappeared, the three of them became confused and ran away, their faces scratched by branches. Blood marks. After escaping from the wild forest, I was in shock. After resting for a long time, I saw my horse also crashed out of the forest, so I rode back to report the crime."

"However, we searched the wild forest all night in the direction mentioned by these three people, but we couldn't even find out where the tiger was exactly as they pointed out. The three people also said that the incident happened at that time. Suddenly, they were so frightened that they lost their minds. It was inevitable that they could not remember the exact location. Anyway, it was in this wild forest. Alas, that wild forest was more than a hundred miles in circumference. If we didn't have an accurate identification, where would we go from here? Find it?"

"After Mr. Chen's team returned to the Yamen, he took these three people into prison first. With such no evidence, they insisted that one person was killed, and these three people themselves were suspected. But the background of the young master's brothers is not small, and the news came back After arriving in the capital, messages and letters poured in, and people were even sent to the county government office to make noise. Mr. Chen only said that the case was under the jurisdiction of Sifang County, and officials' children should abide by official rules more and more. He detained people for investigation. There will never be any unreasonable treatment, and there is no need to make a fuss.”

"After half a month of such turmoil, another strange thing happened." When Guo Xing said this, he stopped to take a breath. His face looked a bit hesitant, as if there were some details that made it difficult for him to say it out.

Xue Yi calmly answered: "Oh? Is it true that the young man who was eaten by the tiger is back?"

Guo Xing nodded repeatedly and said: "Exactly, exactly. Alas, it is really unspeakable. In broad daylight, ghosts actually appeared in the county government office. Mr. Chen and several of our detective brothers happened to be in the hall. All the discussions were witnessed with our own eyes. But afterward, no matter who we told it to, everyone thought we were talking crazy. Mr. Chen was criticized by the government for this, saying that he was a model official, but now he is old and confused. Talking nonsense about ghosts and gods is disrespectful to an official."

Xue Yi listened carefully, resting her forehead on her hands, her eyes watery.

Guo Xingdao: "That day, because there were no clues about the victim, life or death could not be confirmed. Mr. Chen called me and the five brothers on duty in the team to discuss in the hall how to expand the scope of the investigation. The seven of us were working on it. While he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of beating drums from the mountain. They all followed the sound, but did not see the brothers guarding the Yamen rushing to report the incident. When they were confused, they glanced and saw a man in white appearing out of thin air next to the stand of the killing stick. .”

"The atmosphere was weird at that time. We were all standing in the hall. We were sure that no one could hide in the hall. How could someone appear out of nowhere? Moreover, if we looked carefully, we saw that the person was not wearing white clothes, but a white cloth covering his head. His feet were covered and his body was floating, right next to the stick stand, as if his feet were not touching the ground."

"I am considered brave, but I also feel a chill in my heart and goosebumps all over my body. Mr. Chen is still able to hold his own. He sits on the county throne and asks, who is coming? I only hear a faint voice, like weeping. Complained and replied, I am not a human being. Mr. Chen slapped the alarm and scolded, pretending to be a ghost, left and right, and take it with me." "My lord has an order. Although several of us detectives felt timid, they still moved forward bravely, but We saw the white shadow suddenly soar into the sky and floated to the plaque hanging high on the mirror, like a ghost. We were afraid that Mr. Chen would be wrong, so we quickly protected him from his seat. Looking up from a distance, we heard the quiet sound again. "My family is destined to die. The gods of the mountains turned the wolves into tigers, so I died in the tiger's mouth. It had nothing to do with the others. Please let those few go."

"However, my remaining bones must be collected and buried for me, so that the case can be settled. After saying this, the white shadow flashed and disappeared into thin air in front of our eyes. Sect Master, you said, this If it’s not a ghost, what else could it be?” Guo Xing finished speaking in one breath, looking at Xue Yi with lingering fear.

Xue Yi pursed her lips, thoughtfully, but did not answer.

Guo Xing took a breath and continued: "When we came to our senses, Mr. Chen asked us to look carefully everywhere in the hall, on the side of the stick stand and on the plaque. There were no traces at all. As long as a paper man had been there, The hall is not so clean."

"What's even more surprising is that I called the brother who was guarding the Yamen to come over and ask me what was going on with the drumming just now. The brother was completely confused and said that no one had ever come to the Yamen to beat the drum. He also asked me if I was on duty? Lord, I was not the only one in the hall who heard it at that time. Everyone could hear the sound of drums in their ears. It was obviously the sound of drums beating outside the yamen, so that it could be heard in the hall. However, there was no one beating the drums outside the yamen. Doesn’t it prove that it was What the hell?”

"What happened next?" Everyone was listening in rapt attention. Chi Yi suddenly asked from behind. Guo Xing was startled. He looked back and saw Chi Yi's upturned face. He felt a little embarrassed, held his forehead and shook his head.He replied: "Later, Mr. Chen thought about it and asked me to release the three people. Mr. Chen said that the ghost has entrustment and his last wish should be fulfilled."

"Later, we searched all over the mountains and plains to find the remaining bones that the ghost said, but so far we have found nothing. The ghost's father was the censor of the dynasty. He blamed Mr. Chen for letting the three people go, and made trouble at the mansion. He said that Mr. Chen pretended to be talking about ghosts and gods, but in fact he allowed the real culprit to be punished for his crime of corruption and perversion of the law... Little girl, isn't this extremely unfair? That ghost came to ask for help. I really saw it with my own eyes. .”

"Hehehehe, what kind of ghosts are you asking me to tell you? It's better not to accept such a senseless case." The sharp words came from behind Guo Xing again, which sounded extremely frivolous. Guo Xing had already turned around to face him. Facing Chi Yi, this move made Xue Yi spin like a top, but he didn't see any stranger appear. He had to stand facing the small courtyard again, casting doubtful eyes on Xue Yi, confused.

The man in blue and red had already heard the sound and moved, running from the left and right directions, leaping forward, and saw two figures, one blue and one red, leaping straight over the courtyard wall without touching a leaf, rushing towards the roof of the main house.

Guo Xing's eyes flashed, and Xue Yi's window screen had been closed. It was changed to the color of indigo. Zi Yi waved his hand again, and the window frame made a "swipe" sound. The silver-gray foil fell down, covering the flower window tightly, and there was actually another mechanism. .
