He stretched out his hand and was about to take it for a closer look, but someone stepped ahead of him and took the earring away.
Xiao Chengyi turned his head and glanced, and saw that the person holding the earring was a man. He had a sick look on his face and was a little thin.
However, his appearance was quite good. Seeing Xiao Chengyi looking over, the man looked at him slightly surprised and asked, "Is it possible that the young master also likes this?"
Xiao Chengyi didn't like it, he just thought it matched Yan Yan very well and wanted to buy it back to make her happy.
He said: "Since the young master has it in your hands, it belongs to the young master. I will look at other things."
The man covered his lips and coughed twice and said: "I'm sorry, I made my sister unhappy yesterday, and I wanted to buy something to go back to comfort her. She likes pearls."
Xiao Chengyi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile: "Young Master is interested, I think your sister will like it."
The man smiled slightly, then paid the money, nodded at Xiao Chengyi, and turned around to leave.
After he left, Qingying walked over quickly and whispered in Xiao Chengyi's ear: "My lord, I heard that the person who died on Chang'an Street last night was a watchman.
I heard that someone had his heart ripped out, and the way it was dug out didn’t look like it was man-made, so people are saying it was a monster."
When he heard the words "monsters causing trouble," Xiao Chengyi's expression changed. He had no intention of choosing anything else, so he just said in a deep voice: "Go to Dali Temple."
Dali Temple.
After Chen Chi came back, he asked people to check the past files to see if similar cases had occurred in the past few years.
As he was flipping through the files, he heard someone reporting: "Sir, the regent is here."
Shen Chi looked up and saw Xiao Chengyi striding in. He quickly put down the things in his hands and stood up, saluted and asked, "My lord, why are you here."
He was quick to follow the rules. Although Xiao Chengyi was his nephew, he was the regent in the court and he was a minister, so the courtesy should be indispensable.
Xiao Chengyi said: "I heard that a heart-breaking case occurred last night? The method of committing the crime did not look artificial?"
Shen Chi frowned and said, "Yes, I have checked the corpse and it is indeed very strange."
Xiao Chengyi said: "Take me to see it."
Shen Chi nodded and took Xiao Chengyi to the place where the body was stored.
Because the corpse is of vital importance, it is frozen to prevent it from decomposing.
When Xiao Chengyi came to the corpse room, he saw Niu Erlang's body. He was naked and could clearly see the emptiness on his chest.
The marks around the wound are like finger marks, but what kind of fingers can instantly dig out people's hearts?
Xiao Chengyi looked at the injuries on the body several times, and then asked: "Are there any clues?"
Shen Chi shook his head: "The deceased had no grudges against anyone during his lifetime and was an honest and responsible person. This does not look like a vendetta. He should have been killed because he accidentally bumped into the murderer.
Moreover, the expression on his face was ferocious, as if he had seen something scary before his death. The key is that it rained after the crime, which erased the traces of the murderer."
Xiao Chengyi asked: "Then have you ever thought about why the murderer took out the heart?"
Shen Chi said: "I am also very puzzled. I just looked through the files in the past five years and found no similar cases.
This murderer used strange methods to dig into people's hearts and tried to confuse people by creating ghosts and murders. It can be said that he had ulterior motives."
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and said, "He might be going for Yan Yan."
Shen Chi was startled and asked suspiciously: "Aiming for Yan Yan? This...how is this possible?"
