He Xian's boy and Chen Gang went into the culvert and searched for almost an hour. They were covered in filth and stench. Finally, they found the body of the fox demon outside a perforated gate. They also found traces of being broken again on the gate.
The perforated gate is designed to block larger dirt and prevent clogging of culverts.
Chu Qiguang looked at the corpse that was brought up, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he seemed to be using his inspiration to think about the case to an important step.
He Xian's heart jumped at the side: "What a sharp look, did you infer something?"
Chu Qiguang said slowly: "It seems that after the fox demon was blocked by the gate, he tried to open the gate. As a result, he was seriously injured and died."
Daoyuan checked the body of the fox demon. He was used to seeing corpses of all kinds of demons. His face remained unchanged and he said: "This fox demon's body is extremely seriously injured, especially his back. It's not easy to be able to hold on here."
."
He Xian frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the He family will be dissatisfied and think that we just took a fox corpse to make excuses. I also asked Taoist Master Fayuan to help prove it."
Fayuan said: "Don't worry, Mr. He. The fox demon we have been tracking together is undoubtedly there. We will check the fox demon's blood and claw marks again later to make a conclusion, but it should be this fox demon."
Already."
He looked at Chu Qiguang with a smile: "Good boy, I didn't expect that I actually found it for you."
So the group of people took the fox demon's body back, and discovered the situation as soon as they arrived at the county government office.
…
In the side hall, He Zhixian looked at Gu Baotou with satisfaction and said, "I heard Song Dianshi said that you have caught the fox demon?"
Gu Captou said with a humble face: "We have caught him, and the results of the fox blood test have also come out. It should be that this fox demon is right."
"Okay." He Zhixian smiled: "You caught the fox demon so quickly. I will report it to the court to commend you for your achievements."
Looking at He Xian, Taoist Fayuan and Chu Qiguang walked in, He Zhixian laughed and said: "Xian'er, you came just in time, Capt. Gu has caught the fox demon, and this bloody corpse case can finally be solved.
."
Gu Baotou glanced at Chu Qiguang with a slightly proud look, cupped his hands towards the county magistrate and said: "It's all thanks to the good leadership of the county magistrate, who teaches us the principle of serving the country with loyalty, that we are lucky enough to live up to our fate and capture the fox demon."
."
He Xian and Fa Yuan Taoist looked at each other and looked at Gu Baotou with a strange look.
Chu Qiguang walked up directly and said: "County Lord, we found the body of the fox demon."
"Oh?" He Zhixian looked at Mr. Gu.
Gu Captou laughed and said: "Corpse? That fox demon can kill Hao Yongnian and his party, how could he die so easily? Mr. Chu, please don't be impatient and just find a fox corpse to hand over."
Everyone looked at Chu Qiguang, and saw Chu Qiguang said with confidence: "Master He and Taoist Master Fayuan were all there during the whole process of my search for the fox demon. They can all testify for me."
Gu Baotou sneered: "I'm afraid that the Taoist priest and the young master are also deceived by you. Do you dare to test the fox blood?"
Chu Qiguang said: "Why don't you dare?"
Capt. Gu directly called the servants, took the blood from the fox demon's corpse and gave it to the dogs to lick. After a while, the dogs became in love.
Gu Baotou looked at this scene in surprise, feeling incredible in his heart: "This one is also a fox demon?"
Chu Qiguang on the other side said: "Since both sides are fox demons, why not compare the claw marks on the scene."
Then Hezhi County called for the police and brought two foxes, one dead and one alive, to the scene.
The fox claws of the two foxes were compared one by one with the claw marks at the scene. The fox corpse caught by Chu Qiguang was exactly the same as the claw marks at the scene, but the fox claws captured by Gu Wei were exactly the same as the claw marks at the scene.
Totally inconsistent.
Seeing this scene, Gu Wei was shocked and angry. He never expected that there were two fox demons in Qingyang County, but he was asked to capture the one that had nothing to do with the bloody corpse case.
On the other side, Hezhi County looked happy when he saw this solid evidence. His official position was saved. Thinking of his mission to Qingyang County, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Hezhi County said to Chu Qiguang: "Okay, Chu Qiguang, you did a good job. This time the blood corpse case is solved, we can finally restore peace to Qingyang County."
Chu Qiguang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you to the county for respecting Hongfu. This time, we finally fulfilled our mission."
Gu Wei on the other side was still unwilling to give in. Thinking about how much he had to show his merits and share the reward, he said: "I only knew how to catch the fox demon, but I didn't expect that there were two fox demons in the city. I see this
The two fox demons must be in collusion.
And before these two fox demons were captured for investigation, who could be sure which one was the one responsible for the crime? Thanks to the county's meticulous planning, hundreds of officials from the Yamen laid a dragnet in the county town, so that these two fox demons could be eliminated.
All the demon bastards will be captured in one fell swoop."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he obviously wanted to obscure his own and Chu Qiguang's contributions and divided their contributions in half.
And after hearing Gu Wei's cryptic expression of merit for himself, Hezhi County also nodded in recognition: "Gu Captou, you also have merit this time, and I will make it clear to the court one by one, and I will never lose your reward."
From the perspective of Hezhi County, although Chu Qiguang caught the real murderer fox demon, Gu Wei directed hundreds of officers to rush around, inspect the scene, collect evidence, search the whole city, and also captured another fox demon
, also has a contribution that cannot be ignored.
Gu Wei smiled and stepped aside. His goal had been achieved, but he was still thinking about whether there was any way to get more money.
Chu Qiguang knew Gu Wei's plan as soon as he heard him speak, and said slowly: "Gu Baotou does have hard work without any merit, but the fox I brought to Gu Wei doesn't look like a monster."
Gu Wei snorted coldly and said: "Master Chu, please don't lie. This fox demon has experienced blood. There is no doubt that it is a fox demon."
Chu Qiguang said: "The fox demon who killed Mr. Hao must have been seriously injured, but I see that the fox is intact and does not look injured."
Gu Wei said: "How can monsters be treated with common sense? It is not uncommon for monsters to heal faster than ordinary animals after taking elixirs or practicing some monster martial arts."
Chu Qiguang walked up to the fox and said, "I think it's better to do another blood test. I'm afraid that the catcher's servants will be sneaky, so I caught an ordinary fox to deal with the business."
Gu Wei watched the blood test of his subordinates with his own eyes. He was confident that the fox must be a fox demon. At this moment, he stared at Chu Qiguang coldly and said: "Young master Chu, you can test it if you want, but if the test is correct, please
I admit my mistake to my brothers and don’t let those who serve the country wholeheartedly and fulfill their duties suffer injustice in vain.”
"That's natural." Chu Qiguang turned to look at Fayuan and said, "Please ask Taoist Master Fayuan to personally inspect this fox demon."
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Chu Qiguang and his men, a hint of displeasure flashed deep in He Zhixian's eyes.
No matter how outstanding Chu Qiguang is, he is still a common man. No matter how unbearable Gu Wei is, he is still his boss, a county official, and represents the majesty of the imperial court.
Even if Chu Qiguang found something strange, he should tell him privately.
But now seeing Chu Qiguang acting so aggressively in front of him, He Zhixian's sense of Chu Qiguang immediately declined.
