The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty

"Chief Mulan, why don't you send more people to hunt down that cold-blooded murderer butcher? What hope can that soothsayer who only knows how to hide in a dark room give us? Three young girls have already been brutally murdered? Are you just waiting for the next victim's body to appear?"

Mulan waited for Aya's series of questions to finish, and replied with some dissatisfaction: "Aya, if I hadn't seen it for the sake of your law-abiding work on weekdays, I could have called the guards to arrest you now, you have already hindered official business by running here to roar and make trouble, do you know? Besides, I also want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but since King Fu rejected Huang Chao's proposal, the rebels have been deployed around us in a big way, and the war will break out in a big way!" And at this time, I have to recruit new soldiers, train them, and arrange for the city guards, do you think I have three heads and six arms?"

After a pause, Mulan continued: "Since you care so much about the butcher's case, then just investigate it yourself, and I will give you this right now! If you are afraid of danger, get out of me as soon as possible, and stop chattering."

Aya was obviously enraged, and shouted loudly: "Go and go, I won't be like you, I only know how to blindly prevaricate, you wait." With

that, he turned around and left.

Mulan behind her shouted: "If you catch the murderer, don't forget to come and receive the bounty..."

Aya stood next to her, wanting to hear the coroner's opinion.

Like the previous two victims, the head was cut off and taken away, and there was a long, deep wound on the back of the body, from which the murderer gouged out the heart of the deceased. The

coroner said, shook his head, and continued with a little puzzlement: "The murderer is either a pervert, or has some kind

?......of purpose..." By the way, coroner, judging from the wound, will it really be as people say, it was a butcher's doing?"

The coroner shook his head decisively and said: "Absolutely not, this wound on the back is definitely not caused by the butcher's bone and meat knife, this is a special scimitar, as far as I know, this kind of scimitar was specially used to embalm corpses in the past, and I have not seen anyone use it in the entire Snow City." ...... Oh, girl, there's nothing going on here, you better go back as soon as possible, the guards in the city are understaffed, and it's too late at night, so you'd better be careful.

Aya reluctantly returned home and told her father about the matter briefly.

The old man knew that his daughter's involvement in the investigation was not out of anger with the chief guard, Mulan, but more because she had a jealous heart since she was a child.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Aya got up, ate something casually, and ran to the cemetery.

She wanted to take a closer look at the crime scene while the light was good.

It was cold, the guards had been withdrawn, and the cemetery south of the city was empty.

The remaining blood stains on the bluestone slab were frozen, and the footprints around them were messy and complicated, some of them belonged to the guards, some were from the onlookers, and as for the murderer, they had been submerged in it and could not be distinguished.

Aya bent down and searched earnestly, she took the bluestone slab as the center, and looked around the periphery.

Suddenly, some small pits in the snow caught her attention, the pits were very small, like wheat grains and beans falling on the snow, the surface had become hard due to the cold, she stretched out her hand and carefully peeled off the ice above, in the snow below, a few small ice beads were particularly eye-catching because of the dark red color, they were blood droplets!

Aya quickly determined that this should be after the snow yesterday, the blood droplets fell on the soft snow and were frozen by the cold weather.

She walked a few steps in the direction of the blood droplets, and sure enough, some small pits appeared in the snow, probably because the murderer was found when he fled, and he didn't have time to wrap the deceased's head, so the blood dripped all the way.

Small pits in the snow came and went, and she searched carefully as she went.

After a meal, the blood disappeared in front of a house, and Aya looked up and saw the word frost house engraved on the plaque of the house.
