Several people went to the ground one after another and found that this was a small courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard, and the simple furniture in the house was covered with a layer of dust. It was obvious that no one lived here often.

In the kitchen, there is a large iron pot embedded on the stove. There is some sticky stuff in the iron pot. It must be that the pot has not been cleaned after use, and it emits a foul smell.

Captain Ding dipped his fingers into something in the pot, sniffed it, then narrowed his eyes and said, "This is where the second young master's body was fried."

There was a bloody machete on the blood-stained chopping board next to it, and there were pieces of meat and blood splattered around it.

Captain Ding breathed a long sigh of relief, "It seems that this is the scene of the murderer's dismemberment. This case is half solved."

His men left the house, looked out through the crack in the locked door, and came back to tell Ding the address of Captou's yard.

As detectives, they are familiar with the situation in this small town, but the yard is very ordinary, and they usually don't pay attention to it.

Capt. Ding said to his men: "You stay here and guard, I will send a few more brothers to help you when I go back. Then I will check the residents in the small courtyard!"

The town is located at the junction of the three countries, and there are many people coming and going. There are also many merchants who rent or buy yards to stay.

Shangguan Ruoli found some dried black powdery stuff at the bottom of a water bowl.

She sniffed and said, "This should be the anesthetic in the deceased's body."

Captain Ding took the bowl and said, "I will ask someone to investigate the source of the anesthetic."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Can I scrape off a little bit?"

In her hand is the Xuantian Bell given by Liya, which is a token of the Miao witch doctor clan.

When Liya went to sea, she took away all her close friends and capable people, leaving the witch doctor clan to her, but she didn't take it to heart.

Now using the Xuantian Bell, it should be no problem to ask the witch doctors to help investigate the matter.

Naturally, Ding Baotou would not object. Shangguan Ruoli used his dagger to scrape off a little powder and carefully put it in the handkerchief.

A head catcher was left to guard the scene, and everyone returned the same way.

Zi Yan was anxious as she waited, pacing anxiously at the entrance of the well.

When he saw Ding Baotou's head emerging from the well, his eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "Ding Baotou, where is my master?"

Ding Captou said: "I'm back, I'll be up right away."

Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Ding Ding's head was shaken by her smile and he almost fell off.

Zi Yan was startled when she saw his hand slipping, and quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.

Through the thin clothes, you can feel his strong, strong muscles, which feel... good.

Ding's head felt as if his acupuncture points had been stabbed, and he could not move. He only felt numb and itchy all over his body.

Until An San urged from below, "Hurry up, what happened?"

"Ah? Oh!" Ding Baotou suddenly came back to his senses.

Zi Yan also felt something was wrong and blushed. She was just afraid that he would fall and hit his master.

He quickly let go of his hand and said generously: "Be careful when catching the head."

"It doesn't matter." Head Ding also blushed and jumped out of the well.

The little catcher who was watching the excitement on the side winked at him ambiguously.

Ding Captou raised his foot in embarrassment and kicked him, "Quickly go and find out who lives at No. 13 Wufu Hutong, East Street, whose yard it is, and who has been in and out recently!"

The little catcher dodged the kick and quickly responded: "Yes!"

Before leaving, he winked at Zi Yan and said, "Girl, don't look at our leader as a rough guy, but in fact he is a scholar! He will definitely be able to take the imperial examination in the future, and be the number one scholar or something!"

Ding Baotou glared and said: "You bastard, why don't you get busy! Are you still waiting for the fifth one to die?"

"Hey, come on!" The little catcher quickly ran away.

Ding Baotou coughed lightly and said to Zi Yan awkwardly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I..."

Thinking that the boy was right, he said: "I may not be able to win the first prize."

Does that mean you can win the prize?

Zi Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said politely: "Ding Baotou is smart and wise. Even if he doesn't win the top prize, he is still a pillar of talent."

"Uh!" Capt. Ding felt something was wrong and hurriedly said: "No, I, that's not what I meant. I..."

Oops! What's going on? Why are you stuttering? Why can't you even speak?

Zi Yan said: "I know, haha."

Shangguan Ruoli came up from the well and saw two people chatting awkwardly.

When Zi Yan saw her master coming up, she found her savior and hurriedly said: "Master, are you okay?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "I'm fine."

He gave her the handkerchief wrapped with the medicinal powder and said in her ear: "Go back and get the Xuantian Bell, and take two people to protect you. Put the Xuantian Bell in an open place, and go to various drug stores to find out what the name of this thing is.

Wherever it is sold, to whom it is sold.”

Zi Yan kept all her belongings because Miao Jiang was included in the plan, so she brought Xuantian Bell with her in case of emergency.

After all, there are many Miao people who are good at poisons and poisons, so they might be able to use the medicine of the witch doctor clan.

Although Liya didn't tell her how to use Xuantian Bell, people from the witch doctor clan would definitely recognize it when they saw it.

Zi Yan said: "Master, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Well, go ahead and remember to call two guards to protect you." Shangguan Ruoli can't trust the witch doctor clan, so it would be bad if he wants to rob Xuantian Bell.

Not trusting her, she went back alone as a girl. She gestured to the dark place and sent a secret guard to follow.

Zi Yan performed a blessing ceremony and returned to the inn to get the Xuantian Bell.

When Ding Tou saw Zi Yan walking away alone, he hesitated and asked, "Girl, where are you going?"

Zi Yan stopped and said, "I'm going back to the inn. Is there anything going on with Capt. Ding?"

Mr. Ding said: "It's not peaceful now. It's not safe for a girl like you to live at home. I'll have someone send you back."

He didn't know that Shangguan Ruoli had sent a secret guard to follow him, and he was a little worried when he saw her going back alone.

Zi Yan felt warm in her heart and said gratefully: "No need, you guys are also busy."

There was such a big life case, and their manpower was not enough. How could they allocate manpower to send her away?

Ding Captou said: "It doesn't matter, I just have people go to the inn to ask Baozhu Niang some questions."

With that said, he said to a policeman behind him: "Go to the inn and ask Miss Baozhu about it, and send Miss Ziyan back by the way."

The policeman asked in confusion: "Why are you still asking? Haven't you already asked me this morning?"

Ding Baotou's dark face turned red, "The second young master was fine at that time! Ask her if she knows anything about the second young master!"

The policeman muttered in a low voice: I've asked before, Baozhu Niang has never met any of the Wu family's masters.

But seeing that the boss was about to get angry, he chose to be obedient and send Zi Yan back.

Zi Yan was touched and amused at the same time, so she didn't say anything and hurried back to do business.

Shangguan Ruoli said to Ding Baotou: "I guess the Wu family has returned. Let's go and ask for a confession."

Mr. Ding nodded, "Okay."
