Chapter 6 Corpse Thief
The body of Wuhan University is gone.
Looking at the digging of the grave, Xu Yan pondered silently.
Chen Zhouhua's forehead was filled with cold sweat. The Adam's apple rolled for a moment and said, "Will the wild wolf be poached?"
The yamen runners followed suit.
“There are often wild wolves near the tombs, and it is very common to throw corpses here.”
"Don't forget that wild dogs and yellow skin are both meat-eating."
"The beast's nose is so powerful that you can get the buried corpses out."
Xu Yan squatted in front of the grave, and said to everyone with his back, "If it was a grave dug by a wild beast, would it still help fill the soil back?"
The others suddenly felt chills on their backs and hearts.
Yes, if a lone wolf and wild dog poach the body, how could it be possible to restore the grave?
When I came just now, the grave was intact and there was no hole at all!
A dark cloud floated by.
The empty graveyard immediately seemed much more gloomy.
"Let's go, go back." Xu Yan stood up.
Chen Zhouhua immediately ordered the yamen runners to pack up their graves and follow Xu Yan to leave the graveyard.
"Why is the body of Wu Da lost?" On the way back, Chen Zhouhua was still surprised and said, "Can it be that Wu's wife's mistress dug up the body and wanted to destroy the evidence!"
Xu Yan shook his head.
Wu Da died of external injuries. The wounded part matched the death of the wall and had experienced the corpse. It was not poisoned, so there was no need to destroy the corpse.
Not only Chen Zhouhua couldn't figure it out, but Xu Yan also couldn't figure out why Wu Da's body disappeared.
"Sir, have you heard of demons and monsters?" Xu Yan said.
"Of course I've heard of it! There have been cases of evil spirits hurting people in neighboring counties." Chen Zhouhua said with lingering fear.
"After going back, lord can send someone to arrest Wu's wife's lover first. If the whereabouts of Wu Da's body cannot be found, it will be considered as being taken away by a wolf." Xu Yan said with an idea.
"Okay, okay! I think so too. The cemetery in the wilderness is too strong, and some ghosts and monsters may be born. If evil spirits are in chaos, there will naturally be an adult from the Si Tianjian to eradicate it." Chen Zhouhua is an old fry. No matter whether the corpse stolen wolves or ghosts, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
Chen Zhouhua was anxious to put aside his relationship, but Xu Yan didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Nowadays, my body is really too weak and I can't walk, but I can't run or jump.
Just now, when Wu's wife raised the stone to smash it, Xu Yan wanted to hide, but unfortunately, her mind issued a command to avoid it, and she didn't have the strength to implement it. She really wanted to dodge and move forcibly. This crispy little waist would easily break.
Without the power to tie a chicken in his hands and without the shoulders, Xu Yan's current semi-finished corpse refining body is inferior to that of a glass man.
Even a stronger woman can't fight. If you really want to involve something like a demon, you can imagine the outcome.
After entering the city, Xu Yan paid attention to the streets.
When you pass by a relatively remote inn, you will take a look at it twice.
When he returned to the county government office, Chen Zhouhua immediately ordered the arrest of Wu's wife's lover, and at the same time he went to the lobby, transferred to torture, and torture the Wu's wife.
As soon as the real guy came on, no matter how much he liked to abuse himself, he couldn't stand it. Not long after, Wu's wife confessed and truthfully revealed the story of harming Wu Dawu Er.
Her lover was soon arrested and was not punished. Seeing the woman's tragic appearance, he immediately took everything.
The process of harming people is no different from Xu Yan's analysis.
The two of them first planned to poison the two brothers with arsenic, but were discovered by Wu Da. Later, they directly killed Wu Da and killed Wu Er who witnessed their harm.
The Wu family tragedy has ended here.
Xu Yan is also preparing to leave the county government.
When he returned to the study, he was stunned.
There is no one in the room.
Chu Honglian's body disappeared!
Where is the person?
Didn't die and left by himself?
Xu Yan felt it was unlikely.
Since she can control the corpse, it means she died clearly.
If it wasn't for leaving by yourself, then there was only one possibility... the body was stolen!
The body of Wuhan University was gone, and Chu Honglian's body was also lost. Could it be that a corpse thief was found in Zhiyuan County?
What is the purpose of stealing corpses?
The situation is like a mess, and it is unclear.
Don't care!
I was also thinking about how to get a clear connection with Chu Honglian. I just lost it, just pretending it was my skill to go out of the city to assist in handling the case. Lord Chu left in advance. In this way, even if Chu Honglian's body is found in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
Xu Yan is a proof, and the best proof is the county magistrate Chen Zhouhua and a large group of yamen runners.
When Chen Zhouhua learned that Chu Honglian had left without saying goodbye, he felt sorry for him and didn't care much, so he personally sent Xu Yan out of the yamen.
Walking on the street, Xu Yan completely relaxed.
There is no need to find an inn anymore, the best place to go now is to go home.
Xu Yan just pretends to be a poor scholar for a while and can prove that he has disconnected from Chu Honglian.
The scholar's home is on West Street.
Walking on the road, Xu Yan's eyes were attracted by the sound of firecrackers.
There are business openings on the street, crowded and very lively.
As soon as he passed by, Xu Yan looked at the door and found that the plaque hanging looked familiar.
Yongji Hall.
"Young Master Xu! Haha, what a coincidence, when the sale is open, you have to give it a favor and have a drink."
Xu Yan was caught and was pulled into Yongji Hall without any feet.
The one who invited me was the drug dealer Xu Ao.
There were more than a dozen tables of banquets in the courtyard of Yongji Hall, and people were filled with people, all nearby neighbors, with sounds of boxing and shouting one after another.
"It turns out that Boss Xu's business is opening, and it's fast enough."
Xu Yan tried hard to break open the other party's big hand, and these steps were dragged, and his bones almost broke up.
"A mere small medicine shop will naturally be as fast as possible. When I go to the headquarters of the Yongji Hall in the Imperial City, I will clean up it up."
Xu Ao poured the wine with his own hands and drank it all. Xu Yan didn't want to drink it, so he also drank a glass.
Xu Ao then left with a smile and greeted other guests.
Xu Yan sat in the table, lowering his head slightly, and his eyebrows began to frown.
This glass of wine was broken.
The body was like dry and cracked land, which looked scary, but it was still strong and would not collapse for a while. However, the wine I drank rushed in like a stream, and the cracked land began to soften and gradually turned into mud.
Xu Yan didn't want to slump in Yongji Hall.
Although this is a medicine shop, he is not a living person, and no matter how skillful the prescription is, it is useless.
Someone toasted from time to time on both sides. Xu Yan said perfunctorily, got up and left the table and said it was convenient to go.
I walked around the backyard and planned to find a back door to escape.
As a result, as I searched, I found a secret door. After entering, I saw two special large water tanks.
The body of the tank is translucent, more than one person tall, made of glass and filled with dark green juice. The water tank itself is worth a lot of money when it comes to the outside.
What's more amazing than the value is the stuff in the water tank.
The water tank on the left is obviously a woman's outline, floating and deep, with long hair dispersed and unable to see her face clearly. The water tank on the right is a short humanoid monster with thick hands and feet, only half a person tall, and she also can't see clearly.
What about making medicinal wine?
Don't take a bar with people.
Xu Yan felt that he was not very lucky and could encounter strange things no matter where he went.
He thought that he had not seen it, and left the right and wrong. Before he could leave, the woman in the left tank was floating and pressed her face against the wall of the tank, revealing her appearance from the green liquid.
If you don’t see it, you’ll be gone. When you see the woman’s appearance, Xu Yan was shocked.
Chapter completed!
