Tangshe Town is located to the north of Fenglin City. It is one of the seven towns under the rule of Wei Quji, and it is also the smallest and most remote town. It is backed by the Qichang Mountains that stretch for dozens of miles, and the townspeople also rely on the mountains.
Mainly hunters.
Walking in Tangshe Town, I saw old houses and few pedestrians. Even those who passed by were in a hurry and had frowning eyebrows. Not only compared to Fenglin City, but also compared to Fengxi Town where Jiang Wang was born.
It's far worse here.
"The villages near Tangshe Town are scattered along the Qichang Mountains. People here make a living by hunting. They usually only gather in the town on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Now is not the time to go to the market, so there are few pedestrians."
Jiang Wang had done a lot of homework before coming here, so Jiang Wang was able to explain something to Zhang Linchuan.
Even though this trip was arranged by the dean to take care of his juniors, Jiang Wang knew that there was no reason to ask for advice on everything, so he did not dare to slack off.
Along the way, Zhang Linchuan always smiled lightly, neither distant nor familiar, and did not show much emotion.
Hearing this, he just nodded and walked towards the house where the murder occurred.
Although they came here to represent the independent will of the Taoist temple, they had no choice but to consult the local officials. Detective Tang Dun from Tangshe Town was waiting for them at the door of this house.
"Tang Daniu and his wife are both locals of our Tangshe Town. Daniu and I used to fight a lot when we were young..." It could be seen that this rough man with dark skin and a straight face was a little sad, and his eyes were like cowbells.
With bloodshot eyes, he stood there and kept chattering, saying repeatedly: "The dog-egg demon is so hateful! Go fuck your mother! Go fuck your mother!"
Zhang Linchuan glanced at the police uniform he was wearing, "Why are you here, and you are hunting the head?"
"We are busy with other things." Tang Dun was not aware of Zhang Linchuan's dissatisfaction and said to himself: "You will all be high officials in the future, but you must make the decision for us!"
"Interesting, in the small town of Tangshe, is there anything more important than this major case of annihilation?" Zhang Linchuan smiled contemptuously, but did not continue to pursue the case, and just waved his hand to interrupt Tang Dun, "Say
The point is, what clues did you find through your investigation? What did the people from the Criminal Investigation Department say when they came over?"
Dong A sent someone alone to investigate, making it clear that Wei Quji could not be trusted. Correspondingly, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department avoided seeing him, and the local government in Tangshe Town only sent a low-ranking police officer to receive him. This is also conceivable.
Things to get.
Tang Dun scratched his head, "We... don't have any clues. The adults from the Criminal Investigation Department didn't tell us anything they found..."
Zhang Linchuan almost laughed angrily at him. There are no clues, so what are you talking about here for a long time?
But after all, he was well-mannered and suppressed his displeasure and said: "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Tang Dun tore off the seal of the door with a quick movement, took out the key, and opened the general lock. Then he pushed the wooden door open.
Jiang Wang noticed that the seal was not simple. It had a charm to suppress evil. It was obvious that the practitioners of the Criminal Investigation Department had deliberately protected the scene.
As the seal was lifted and the door opened, a smell of decay, filth, and stench poured out.
Jiang Wang endured the discomfort and looked at the small courtyard. There were some things commonly used by hunters, such as hunting knives, clips, bows and arrows, as well as some animal skins and bacon, all scattered in the courtyard.
Only the skeleton of a hound was left, scattered at the front door. Judging from its posture, it was probably the first to discover the intruder, but it was dealt with in an instant.
Jiang Wang turned around and saw that Zhang Linchuan had covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with orchid grass, and his brows were knitted together.
Seeing Jiang Wang's inquiring eyes, Zhang Linchuan raised his chin forward slightly and said from under the handkerchief, "It's okay, let's go in."
At this time, Tang Dun stood sideways at the door, murmuring: "I just... won't go in. This is an evil door..."
After all, he was only a mortal. Of course Jiang Wang would not force him, so he nodded, "That's fine."
Then he took the lead and stepped into the courtyard.
The rich and strong corpse aura surrounded him in an instant, covering his olfactory organs. This level of corpse aura was definitely not produced by killing a few people or summoning a few living corpses. It was more like communicating with some evil existence.
Zhang Linchuan glanced at Jiang Wang's sword hand from behind. The slender white finger bones looked clean and strong.
"Junior brother Jiang is good at swordsmanship?" he asked.
Jiang Wang looked around at the environment, without looking back, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang is laughing at me. My little brother has not yet achieved Dao Xuan, and has not yet been able to practice Taoism. He can only rely on swordsmanship to defend himself."
"When the outer gate was attacked, I heard that Junior Brother Jiang was also one of the people attacked, but he was able to escape calmly, which is extraordinary."
"It was actually quite thrilling. The demon was far stronger than me. I had to escape because I alerted my fellow disciples."
There was a wooden doghouse next to the yard, which was of course empty at the moment. Jiang Wang glanced over and saw no trace of blood in the entire yard.
"The situation here is not good, junior brother, be careful." Zhang Linchuan said.
"My little brother understands."
There are three rooms in this small courtyard. Opposite the courtyard door is the lobby. The door is open. A corpse is lying on the threshold. There is no flesh and blood, only the skeleton is left. Judging from the clothes on the body, it should be here.
The male protagonist, Orion Tang Daniu.
Jiang Wang carefully stepped over the corpse and walked into the lobby.
The walls of the lobby were empty and undecorated, but there was an Eight Immortals table and four stools in the middle. There were some leftover meals on the table, covered with a bamboo cover.
Under the bench on the left, the mistress of this family was lying, as evidenced by the rough cloth dress.
However... none of the food went bad, but only the bones were left on the body.
An inexplicable chill stabbed his tailbone, and he had no idea where the faint fear came from. Jiang Wang almost wanted to draw his sword. But after all, he had experienced many life-and-death fights, so he suppressed his instinct to avoid embarrassing himself in front of Zhang Linchuan.
"These flesh and blood are definitely not chewed, but the effect of some evil method." Zhang Linchuan covered his handkerchief with one hand and looked around casually. He could see that there was only disgust but no fear. "These two people have not been dead for a long time.
, but all the flesh and blood are gone, and many clues are also lost. You have fought against the demons who attacked the outer courtyard, is there anything familiar about them?"
Jiang Wang shook his head, "I only see two corpses now, so I can't judge. It's just the corpse aura that permeates the surroundings..."
"how?"
"At that time, I was attacked by the opponent using a corpse and was poisoned by corpse poison. Master Dong took action to cure me."
Zhang Linchuan nodded, never letting go of the handkerchief covering his mouth, and walked directly to the room on the right side of the lobby, "Let's take a look separately. If anything happens, let me know as soon as possible."
"OK."
Zhang Linchuan is a high-level monk, and the Tao in the Tongtian Palace is spinning and Taoism is born by itself. Jiang Wang was not worried about him, so he immediately walked to the room on the left with his sword.
…
This room...
Very small.
When you enter the door, you can see a wooden horse, standing silently on the ground. This wooden horse is particularly delicate and smooth, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into the maker.
Not far from the wooden horse is a low table with slingshots, rattles and other gadgets scattered on it.
On the wall on the side of the low table, Jiang Wang saw the only decoration since he entered the courtyard.
It was a small canvas, with three little people painted on it with childish brushstrokes.
The two older ones, holding the younger one, ran among a sea of flowers.
Behind the villain, there is also a little dog that is shaking its head.
This is a complete home, and it has been blooming here all spring.
Jiang Wang reluctantly continued walking inside until he saw scattered floral cloth clothes in front of the short bed.
Looking up, he naturally saw the last set of bones in this family.
A small, slender, fragile, lonely and helpless frame.
It was a little girl who was once regarded as a treasure by her parents, the only thing left in this world.
He felt angry.
Uncontrollable, extremely violent, anger.
