The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]

A scream broke the tranquility of dusk.

Then came the chaotic sounds of footsteps and the calls of maids and servants. Not long after, the guards arrived and sealed off Xu Mingjin's room, not allowing anyone else to approach at will.

After receiving the news, Xu Mingyu and Su Ying came out of the crowd, hurriedly passed the blockade of guards, pushed the door open, and entered. The first thing that caught their eyes was the motionless woman lying on the ground.

A large amount of blood flowed down her forehead, covering her face, and also gathered into a small pool of blood on the ground below. The bloodless skin and motionless breathing seemed to indicate that the person was completely dead.

Next to it was an overturned wardrobe, snacks scattered on the floor, and a large number of blood-stained porcelain fragments scattered on the ground.

In addition, there were a large number of messy footprints on the ground, of various sizes, leaving bloodstains everywhere on the ground, turning the originally clean death scene into chaos.

The scene he saw in front of him made Xu Mingyu frown fiercely. He looked around the crowd and said in a calm tone: "Who can tell me what happened?"

"Sir, everyone who has come into this room is now in the courtyard." Yan Shu, Xu Mingyu's confidant, took a step forward.

Xu Mingyu and his cousin went out for a hunting trip, but he did not go with him. Instead, he stayed at the inn. As soon as he received the news that something had happened on Xu Mingjin's side, Yan Shu rushed over and detained all the maids who had broken into the room and did not release them. Run one person.

Then, while sending someone to inform Xu Mingyu of the accident at the station, he conducted an urgent interrogation.

As he said that, Yan Shu raised his hand and pointed at a maid who looked the most frightened. He said in a clear and coherent manner: "This is the maid who is supposed to take care of Master Mingjin today. Who would have thought that she would take advantage of Master Mingjin to take medicine and fall asleep?" The maids and servants all confessed that they were hiding out. When they came, this little girl was the only one in the room. Lan Xin died, and Master Mingjin was seriously injured and fell into coma. He has been moved to the next room and has been asked for treatment by a doctor. "

"Someone has just checked. The doors and windows of the room are intact, and there are no signs of damage. Moreover, the inn is not an ordinary residence. If an outsider sneaks in, it will not be silent. The guards all said that they have not found any signs of intrusion..."

The group of people who came with Xu Mingyu, in addition to the maids and servants who took care of daily life, were all soldiers carefully trained by Wei Guogong. They were not many in number, but they were all elite. There were two talents who were proficient in interrogation and trace investigation. It's normal, after all, war is never just about open swords and clear guns.

What's more, in order to pick up his son this time, Wei Guogong sent the best of his own soldiers.

As soon as Yan Shu said it, Xu Mingyu understood immediately.

Experts who are proficient in trace inspection all unanimously concluded that it was not an intrusion by outsiders, but someone from the inn.

The maid named by Yan Shu was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Even though she didn't understand much, she still understood. As the first person to appear in Xu Mingjin's room, she was extremely suspicious.

"No, it's none of my business. I have no intention of murdering Mr. Mingjin. I'm unjust!"

She hurriedly knelt down and shouted her injustice: "Master Mingjian, this slave should not have left his post without permission after seeing Master Mingjin sleeping peacefully. But I really did not murder Master Mingjin! When I came back just now, I heard something moving in the room, and then heard Only when Master Mingjin called for help did he rush in..."

It was clearly Lan Xin who died, but both Yanshu and the maid simply ignored her existence and kept saying "murdering Mr. Mingjin". After all, no one would think that the murderer's target would be the hometown of his birth. Wild civilians.

Although it is strange for Lan Xin to appear here, everyone is more willing to understand that she found out that Mr. Mingjin was in danger when passing by, and wanted to help but suffered disaster and was implicated.

——In this society where the nobles and the humble are clearly distinguished, it is obviously reasonable and natural for the untouchables to sacrifice their lives for the nobles.

At least no one present felt there was a problem. They are still angry at the thugs' wantonness and audacity.

Su Ying watched this scene like a distant bystander. His eyes swept across everyone's faces with expressions of worry, fear, or pretended anger. He seemed to feel amused and smiled.

Then, he looked at the corpse on the ground, or rather, at the sky above the corpse. Like a child who accidentally discovered a novel toy, he stared at it unblinkingly.

"Are there ghosts in this small world?"

A familiar shadow was floating in the sky above the corpse, its blood-stained face looked like a corpse.

The ghost who had just died had not yet realized what had happened, and could only look at everything around her in confusion. However, no one present was sad for her death.

If the original owner of Su Ying's body was here, perhaps there would be the only person who truly felt sorry for her.

As the ghosts watched in confusion, the maid was still trying her best to recall what she had seen, and struggling to organize her words:

"When I opened the door, I saw that the furniture in the room was in a mess. Aunt Lan Xin fell to the ground. Master Mingjin also had blood on his head and was leaning against the bedpost, unconscious..."

"The slave was panicked for a moment and screamed, which led everyone over - this matter really has nothing to do with the slave!"

Xu Mingyu listened and probably understood.

"It seems that what happened, I can only ask Mingjin."

He asked someone to lead the way to the room where Xu Mingjin was recovering from his injuries. He saw the familiar old doctor explaining something to the maid beside the bed.

Seeing this, Xu Mingyu asked: "May I ask the old gentleman, how is the patient's injury? Can you tell how he was injured?"

"It's obvious that he was hit. How else could he be injured? He's already hit his head. What else can he do? Of course, it's an injury on top of an injury. If I weren't here, it would be too late for you to take him to the nearest clinic." The old doctor replied unhappily, "I just let him rest well, and he became like this. I don't think you guys are taking good care of him."

The group didn't show the sign of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and the old doctor just thought they were officials from other places who came to Beijing. Xu Mingyu asked such an unreliable question again, and he immediately answered unhappily.

Xu Mingyu felt a little relieved.

He asked someone to pay the reward and send the old doctor out.

To be honest, it was really subtle that Lan Xin, a special person, died in Xu Mingjin's room before returning to Beijing, and it was hard not to have some doubts in his heart.

But now it seems that Xu Mingjin was also seriously injured with a bloody head. Fortunately, the old doctor who was invited to treat him was still in the post station and saved him in time.

The suspicion in Xu Mingyu's heart was immediately dispelled by seven points.

He didn't want to have such suspicions, after all, Xu Mingyu and he had been brothers for many years.

What's more, this cousin was also a weak scholar who grew up reading sage books. Not to mention killing people, he had never seen blood before. He shouldn't have such courage, right?

But this still couldn't explain who the murderer was.

He stared at Xu Mingjin lying on the bed with a thick layer of blood on his forehead. He didn't say what he was thinking, but just sighed: "...Mingjin is really in trouble."

Then, Xu Mingyu remembered that the dead woman was an elder trusted by his little cousin. Although he always felt that this person was suspicious and was going to report it after returning to the Duke's Mansion, the simple little cousin didn't know so much, so he must be very sad, right?

Xu Mingjin turned his head and looked to the side, slightly stunned.

Su Ying was sitting at the table on the side, playing with something in his hand. A closer look showed that it seemed to be a jade pendant.

Seeing his gaze, Su Ying raised the jade pendant in his hand, like a child who found a new toy and shared it with his friends: "I found it next to Aunt Lan Xin, it is her relic. Aunt Lan Xin will live in it from now on."

"Yes, Aunt Lan Xin also agreed."

He spoke seriously, smiled brightly, and shook the jade pendant happily twice, as if there was really a soul attached to it. Xu Mingyu took a step back as if he saw a ghost.

After reacting, he forced himself to hold up the dignity of his cousin, as if he was not the one who was afraid of ghosts just now, and educated him seriously: "Sanlang, I know you are sad, but now the most important thing is to find the murderer, so that the deceased can rest in peace..."

"Huh?" Su Ying blinked, expressing confusion.

The pig farming tool man is still around, and after becoming a ghost, he can devote himself to work more fully and work day and night. What is there to be sad about?

As for the murderer...

He pointed at the person on the bed and said as a matter of course: "No need to look for him, the murderer is right here."

Just at this moment, the person on the bed opened his eyes and was pointed out by Su Ying. He was startled at first, and then said weakly:

"No need to check, I killed him."
