The royal guards took the money and went to the wine shop in front.
After Lu Bai watched them enter the building, he walked to the beggar on the roadside and threw a tael of silver into his bowl. "Check the case in Gujing Town and ask the brothers if they have heard any rumors or clues."
"yes!"
The beggar hurried away with the bowl in hand.
It's easy to recognize a gang leader in Yancheng.
The person who gives a beggar a tael of silver must be the gang leader.
Lu Bai went home and took three talismans.
These three talisman papers have evil-proof talismans drawn on them, which were drawn by the leader of the Iron Rat Gang before he took the inner elixir.
Lu Bai took another peach wood sword and oil paper umbrella.
After everything was ready, he took people to the prefect's Yamen.
"Master Duo."
Lu Bai greeted an old acquaintance.
The Grand Master of Guiyifang County took office as the magistrate six months ago, so Duoyan naturally followed him.
"Brother Lu."
Talk a lot and nod.
Magistrate Lu was waiting for him in the study.
"Master Duo, why did you get to the admiral? You can just say hello to your brother." Lu Bai said.
Duoyan smiled bitterly, "My lord, I'm afraid you'll shirk it."
Don't say it.
If the prefect directly sent someone to ask Lu Bai to solve this case, Lu Bai would definitely find an excuse to shirk it because he was on a mission.
Even Shen Xiaoqi was in trouble, which shows that this case is very difficult.
"Then there's no need to go to the admiral's office."
Lu Bai thought that if he begged Baihu, he would be able to get him.
"Too troublesome."
One more word left Lu Bai speechless.
This is the advantage of coming from a big family. All the connections are at the top, so it would be troublesome to find help from people below.
Lu Bai entered the study, while Yan Duo stayed outside.
Magistrate Lu stood next to a corpse.
Seeing Lu Bai come in, he didn't say much and went straight to the point, letting Lu Bai take a look at the body.
What's the matter, are you planning to give him a test?
Lu Bai walked over.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose.
The body almost stinks.
His mouth and eyes were open, his hands were spread out, his hair was messy, and there were deep rope marks on his neck.
"It was someone who killed someone and pretended to be a suicide." Lu Bai said.
He has experience.
When he transformed into Batman, those corpses were those he hung up after killing people.
When he acted as the head catcher again and unloaded the body, the corpse had its mouth open, hands outstretched, and its hair messy.
Therefore, it is still very beneficial to kill more people and plunder more merit points.
Magistrate Lu nodded, "Wu Zuo said the same thing."
He clapped his hands, Duoyan walked in and dragged the body away.
"I'm anxious for you to come. I really have no choice."
The corpse just now was one of the ones brought back from Gujing Town.
Among the corpses brought back, some committed suicide by hanging, and some pretended to have committed suicide.
"Duoyan also found out a piece of news."
Gujing Town is wary and hostile towards outsiders, and there are sacrificial activities from time to time at night.
"So, I have to invite you here to solve this case as soon as possible."
Lu Bai suddenly realized.
"Your Excellency, are you afraid of treason?"
Magistrate Lu nodded.
Above the temple, political achievements are the most important.
Among political achievements, stability is the most important.
If there is rebellion in the area under your jurisdiction, no matter how good your political achievements are, it will be in vain.
Police, all the Jin Yiwei are dead, and there are signs of man-made crime. Gujing Town is unanimously xenophobic and engages in various activities, so the prefect has to sound the alarm.
"You should have come here last time."
Magistrate Lu was very dissatisfied with Shen Xiaoqi.
He is a piece of shit.
He actually fell into the trap of the unruly people in Gujing Town, and his body is still hanging in Gujing Town.
"I had something to do a few days ago."
Lu Bai reassured Magistrate Lu that he would handle this case properly.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
He told Lu Bai that he was going to solve this case and he owed Lu Bai a favor.
The favor of the Lu family.
Many people want it, but they still can’t get it.
After leaving the prefect's Yamen, Lu Bai walked towards Gujing Town.
The few police officers leading the way had mournful expressions on their faces, as if they were going to die. The few guards in uniform behind them had similar expressions.
When they reached the corner of the street, Lu Bai asked them to wait while he went to take a moment.
Arrived at the corner.
A beggar is waiting.
"Gang leader, there isn't much news about Gujing Town that we can get at the moment. I heard that they had a quarrel with the government over the liquor tax. The intelligence elder suggested that you go to Gujing Town and find a big-headed beggar. He is from Gujing Town.
Helmsman."
And this one.
It seems that he is a habitual offender who opposes the imperial court.
Have courage!
Lu Bai admired him.
He returned to the team and led the people forward.
afternoon.
They arrived at Gujing Town.
The weather is fine and the sun is shining brightly. Just after afternoon, it is the time for spring to warm up.
Wait until they step onto the stone bridge in Gujing Town.
The sun is still shining brightly.
But a gloomy feeling lingered in everyone's hearts and bodies.
The air pressure, like when it's about to rain, makes fish like them unable to breathe and can't help but gasp for air.
The Jin Yiwei in front exclaimed, standing on the bridge and not daring to move forward.
Lu Bai looked up.
Under the sun, in the scorching sun, a corpse was hanging under the tree at the bridgehead, swaying in the wind.
The corpse of Jin Yiwei.
It's vaguely identifiable as Shen Xiaoqi's.
Lu Bai's face was expressionless.
He called the police over, "The body was originally here?"
The policeman shook his head.
To make things mysterious.
Lu Bai called to the imperial guards and put down Shen Xiaoqi's body.
The royal guards hesitated, "How about letting him hang?"
"You're so scared, put it down!"
Lu Bai gave them a kick, looking very courageous and nonchalant.
Lu Bai's lack of fear gave the Jinyi guards courage.
They quickly lowered the body.
Several people came forward to check and saw that Shen Xiaoqi's mouth and eyes were closed, his hands were clenched, and there were intersecting rope marks on the back of his neck.
"I, I, I hanged myself to death." Jin Yiwei trembled.
Shen Xiaoqi and the others knew each other.
He is usually very courageous and capable. He has done a lot of evil things and kills people without batting an eyelid.
Such people will not commit suicide.
The only reason why he hanged himself now is that he was haunted by evil spirits and caused him to hang himself.
Lu Bai glanced at it.
The mark on Shen Xiaoqi's neck is flat.
"He was strangled to death through a wooden pillar." Lu Bai saw through it at a glance.
Pediatrics.
These royal guards are still careless in killing people.
When a person is pulled onto a wooden post and a rope is used to strangle a person from behind the wooden post, there will be no rope marks behind the ears.
You can't tell that someone strangled him with a rope.
It looks exactly like someone who hanged himself.
Lu Bai took another step forward and took off Shen Xiaoqi's clothes.
There are new knife marks.
Lu Bai was relieved.
Since it's man-made, there's nothing to be afraid of, just cut it off.
They were just about to move on.
Yi Jinyiwei turned around and pointed at the bridge and exclaimed.
Lu Bai probed.
Oops!
Good guy.
There were several corpses hanging under the bridge, including two or three policemen and guards.
Lu Bai asked Jin Yiwei to put down the body of the policeman.
Hanged himself to death.
It's not man-made.
Lu Bai's heart lifted.
The good news is that this trip is probably worth a lot of merit.
The bad news is, it's a bit too evil.
They entered the town.
There is a main street in the town, and the street is filled with the aroma of wine, making people intoxicated.
There are very few people walking on the street, only occasionally.
Their faces were dull, and when they looked at Lu Bai, they showed wariness, disgust, unkindness, and even malice.
from time to time.
In trees and under eaves, they would see corpses hanging.
Some bodies had been dead for a long time.
It has never been confiscated.
The crows have all come here.
Lu Bai stopped in front of a shop and looked through the dark doorway. Under a ray of light, he saw four corpses hanging in the doorway, swaying in the wind.
There is a child.
Lu Bai walked over and asked the detective who was following him to put the body down.
The detectives were trembling.
They had seen dead people, but they had never seen so many strange deaths.
The Jin Yiwei behind him who was killing people without batting an eye was also sweating white.
The only normal one is Lu Bai.
The body was put down.
All four died by hanging.
The same goes for children. Maybe their parents hung them up, or someone else hung them up.
