Chapter 691 Like the shadow of a pregnant woman
After Mu Wanxi left Yizhuang and returned to the Princess' Mansion, he asked someone to send out a notice.

A huge reward is offered to find clues about the recent serial murders. If you can provide useful clues, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels.

Then, she ordered the garrison in the city to step up patrols at night.

For a while, because of this incident, the people of the imperial capital were panicked.

The murderer is too cruel, and the target of the attack is not specific, it is completely based on his own preferences, which is simply too terrifying.

However, for the next two days, there were no more corpses.

Mu Wanxi also received clues from various people who came for the bounty, but all of them turned out to be false clues.

One day, in the backyard, Mu Wanxi was sitting on a swing watching three little boys practicing martial arts. Liao Jiu hurried over, came to Mu Wanxi's side, bent down and whispered in her ear: "Princess, there is a The watchman said that he wanted to provide a clue, and that he would not ask for a reward. The subordinates felt somewhat believable."

Mu Wanxi knew that if it was not credible, Liao Jiu would not bother her.

Standing up, Mu Wanxi said to Liao Jiu, "Is someone in the front hall?"

"Yes." Liao Jiu nodded.

lobby.

An old man in ragged clothes was sitting on a chair full of restraint, looking at the gorgeous decorations around him, he was so nervous that he couldn't even put his hands anywhere.

Mu Wanxi walked slowly to the front hall. When the old man saw Mu Wanxi, he quickly stood up from the chair and knelt down to Mu Wanxi: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Excuse me, old man, sit down." Mu Wanxi said softly.

Despite Mu Wanxi's gentle attitude, the old man was still very reserved, and it was his first time dealing with such a big man.

"Old man, my princess is very gentle and doesn't eat people." Tang Yuan, who was following behind Mu Wanxi, said with a smile, "The princess told you to sit, so you can sit. Xiao Xiao, serve this old man some tea."

Shen Chun, who followed the glutinous rice balls, nodded obediently and went to make tea.

After the tea came up, the old man took a sip of the tea, his dry throat felt much better, and his mood also stabilized a bit.

At this time, Mu Wanxi asked, "Old man, you said you have clues to provide, and you don't want a reward?"

There have been a lot of people who have come to cheat bounties recently, but this old man is the only one who provided clues but didn't want bounties.

The old man nodded, looked at Mu Wanxi with some cloudy eyes, and said, "To tell you the truth, Caomin is a lonely family, so it's useless to ask for so much money. Caomin just wants to be at ease now."

Mu Wanxi nodded, and said with a smile: "Then tell the old man, I will listen with all my ears."

The old man brewed his emotions for a while, and then he said tremblingly: "Caomin is a watchman, and Caomin found the fifth corpse. In fact, Caomin saw other things when he found that corpse."

He originally thought that what he saw was a hallucination, but since it was a hallucination, why did he always think of that shadow intentionally or unintentionally.

Later, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the shadow was not his hallucination, so he came to provide clues.

Thinking of that terrifying shadow, the old man felt uncontrollable fear.

"Old man, don't be nervous." Mu Wanxi saw the old man's fear and nervousness, and said slowly, "Speak slowly, don't be afraid."

"Caomin saw a shadow." The old man swallowed and said, his slightly widened eyes were filled with horror, "It looks like the shadow of a pregnant woman, but it doesn't look like a person, because the limbs are very special. Thin, with a particularly big belly."
