"Then what are you hiding?"

Yizhihua sneered: "I have always been open-minded in my work. Knowing is knowing. If I don't know, I don't know. Why should I hide it?"

Fan Xiaodao asked, "He wants to know how to find the way to open Dingzhou City?"

"I don't know it myself, so how could I tell him?"

When Fan Xiaodao saw Yizhihua talking, he raised his eyebrows to the upper right and realized that he might be lying.

"You're lying."

Yizhihua said, "With my cultivation and martial arts level, do I still need to lie?"

Fan Xiaodao disagreed.

Whether to lie or not has no fundamental causal relationship with martial arts. In fact, lies are often caused by authority and experts who work hard in a field, because they are more convincing when lying. However, Yizhihua did not admit it, and he did not continue to ask.

Visiting Yizhihua did not achieve the expected results.

Although he was prepared in his heart, Fan Xiaodao was still a little disappointed.

Yizhihua is so arrogant, and being able to say these words to him for the first time has given him enough face. Of course, this is also related to his identity, but between the lines, Fan Xiaodao noticed that he had many words that were insincere, and Yizhihua was still wary of him.

Therefore, he should not believe everything he said, nor should he not believe it. There is always some information that is useful.

I originally thought that before the emperor's birthday, the two of them would stay idle.

But soon, I came to the door.

Something happened in Changping.

There were serial murders in Changping City. In just one month, seven people had suffered heavy casualties. These people died in tragic circumstances, their internal organs were hollowed out, as if they were attacked by some monster. Originally, the Changping Prefect wanted to conceal it at first, but murders occurred one after another, and the murderer was still at large, which eventually led to the people taking to the streets to protest, and finally the matter came to Shuntian Prefecture.

When Shuntian Mansion saw that the case was of bad nature, he sent someone to investigate the murderer, but there was no result for more than ten days, so he asked Liushemen for help.

Originally, according to Yang Deshui's personality, it is better to have less than anything more. If you can turn it out, try to push it out. Moreover, the case is not within the jurisdiction. If you do it well, it will be someone else's fault. What's more serious is that there is another month for Your Majesty's birthday. Everyone is whitewashing the peace, who will take this muddy water on the pole?

However, I don’t know what connection did Sun Zhaohai, the prefect of Shuntian, use, so I asked the Ministry of Justice to transfer the case.

This forced Yang Deshui to re-examine the case.

After all, he is still the acting chief constable. After the prince resigned, the six doors were returned to the Ministry of Justice, and their direct supervisor was related to whether Yang Deshui could be promoted. So Yang Deshui took charge and established the Changping serial murder investigation team. He served as the team leader. Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing enjoyed the treatment of the Ministry of Justice, but the establishment was not resolved, so he was naturally included in the group.

Of course, Yang Deshui's position as the leader does not mean that he personally investigates the case.

Now his focus is still on running for officials.

Bai Shoutao did not receive the money and would not do his best. After Yang Deshui waited hard for nothing, he could only take action himself. Recently, he has been running to the Ministry of Justice every day. He is not qualified to flatter him, but the people below have already become one. They come together to drink when they have nothing to do, and they call it a preface to celebrate His Majesty's birthday in advance. Who can refuse His Majesty's beauty?

What about blessings?

Of course, the silver on his body was gradually hollowed out.

The investigation of the case naturally fell on Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing.

Changping means Changle and Ping An. During the Zhengde period, it established prefectures, with Huairou, Shunyi and Miyun counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, but it is still under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture. In addition, the imperial tomb is also located here, and the Juyongguan Great Wall is an important town that protects the capital. If there is nothing to do in Changping, the capital will rest assured, so it is also known as the beautiful pillow of the capital.

However, Changping has not been peaceful recently.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing left Beijing in the morning and arrived in Changping in the evening.

In Changping City, everyone is in danger. It is not dark yet, and there is no one on the street. Even the most lively Furong Street, which was the bustling city in the past, is gone. Compared with the prosperity of the capital, the night here is like a ghost city. The prefect Yu Hailong received the official document and had been waiting for a long time.

These two people are quite famous.

Although he was only a fifth-ranked Tiss of the six gates, one was the son of the Minister of Rites and the other was the legendary little prince. Yu Hailong could not understand the temper of the two men and did not dare to be negligent. With the magistrate of the three counties, he was greeted by the city gate, and put up rules to hold a banquet on Shangpin Building.

Zhao Xing looked down on this and said, "We are here to handle the case, not to have a meal. Time is tight, so let's talk about the case first."

When Yu Hailong heard this, he accused him repeatedly, so he welcomed the two into the prefect's office.

Yu Hailong is also a pragmatic official. Although he is also a scholar, he has a generous personality and has been a wanderer, so he is quite familiar with the affairs of the world. Seeing that they are like this, he simply notified the kitchen to make a few bowls of wontons, and everyone talks while eating.

The case was not solved, but the files were sorted out in detail.

The victims of each case, their living habits, their itineraries before their death, the crime scene and neighborhood blind date visits were very detailed, which saved a lot of time for investigation. The two of them roughly reviewed the files.

One month, seven lives.

There are monks, women and children, prostitutes, beggars, and wealthy businessmen.

The crime was not fixed, either at the bridge, at the brothel, or at home.

Although the victims have different identities and the location of the crime is not fixed, all cases happen at night, and when all the deceased are found, their bodies are rotten, their eyes are dug, and their internal organs are hollowed out, and their deaths are extremely cruel.

The prefect Yu Hailong and the magistrate Hu Lun were all by their side. If you encounter any unclear problems, you will explain them.

It was late at night when the two of them finished the file.

Having a rough understanding of the case, Fan Xiaodao asked, "Where are the bodies of those seven people now?"

Yu Hailong said, "It is of great importance, and the case has not been solved. Now the bodies are all worshipped in the charity village."

Fan Xiaodao said, "It's not too early today, so it's time for several adults to rest. Tomorrow, let's check the body first. See if you can't find any useful clues."

Seeing this, Yu Hailong stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he knelt in front of the two of them with a thud. The judge also knelt down.

Yu Hailong said: "I have long admired the names of the two people in the capital. I know that the two captains are doing practical things and capable people. This kind of case occurred in Changping City. Now everyone in the city is in danger. As a parent official, I am powerless and deeply saddened. I beg the two captains to capture the murderer and give the people of Changping an explanation!"

The two hurriedly helped.

Zhao Xingdao: "As constables, we investigate and catch the murderer, which is our duty, so we don't have to.

What a politeness, please get up quickly!”

After everyone left, Zhao Xing asked, "What do you think?"

"These seven victims died late at night, with the same way of death and different identities, which seemed like random murder. However, according to the records of the file, do they look familiar?"

Zhao Xing analyzed: "The body was cut by a sharp weapon, and the internal organs were hollowed out. Not long after it was discovered, the body had rotted, just like the situation where Yu Dadi, the leader of Diancang, was killed at the Martial Arts Conference last year. However, at that time, the one who killed Diancang was the eldest disciple Bai Jie, who imitated the cat demon murder case that was rumored at that time. However, this was not mentioned in their files."

Last summer, a cat demon murder case occurred in the capital. It was widely circulated in the capital at that time. It is said that the murderer was a human-shaped monster with a cat face. However, after investigation by Shuntian Mansion for a long time, there was no clue. In the end, it was left unresolved and became a unsolved case. Shuntian Mansion gave the official documents to the Ministry of Justice and attributed the murderer to the cat demon, but was scolded by the court.

This time, the method of committing the crime and the method of the deceased are highly similar to last year's records, but no one mentioned the cat demon anymore.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Do you believe there are cat monsters in this world?"

Zhao Xingdao: "I didn't believe it before, but now I'm skeptical."

Originally, the two of them didn't believe that there were any monsters in this world, but their encounters in the temple, as well as those monsters dancing with demons, made them change their previous cognition. However, those "things" were sealed in the barrier and there was no chance to come out.

Unless there is a variable in the temple.

Fan Xiaodao said: "It seems that the prefect Yu didn't say enough."

"After all, something happened before, and it's normal. No matter what, I'll say after the autopsy tomorrow. If I had known this, I should have brought Xu Corpse here."

The two made a simple plan for the next action. The case was taken over at the beginning, and there were still many details, which were not clear. For example, what was the motive for the murderer's crime? Is it a psychopathic random murder, or a purposeful one? Do these victims have any common characteristics, or are there overlaps in their whereabouts? These will need to be investigated before the conclusion can be drawn.

The next morning, Yu Hailong came to wait early. A young constable followed him. He was unshaven, his eyes were red, and his face was full of Qi Ran. He seemed to have not had a rest for a long time. In a word, his mental state was extremely poor.

Yu Hailong said, "This is Qin Xing, the chief of Changping. He has been dealing with the case before. If you have any problems, just look for him." He thought for a moment and said, "Captain Qin's sister is also one of the seven victims."

I see.

No wonder this Captain Qin is so in poor spirits.

Yu Hailong's arrangement today is to go to the three counties under his jurisdiction to urge agricultural harvest. The autumn harvest has passed, and the harvest of autumn rents in various prefectures is also a major matter, which is directly related to the performance assessment. The case will be temporarily handed over to the magistrate Hu Lun for investigation. Qin Xing, as the chief constable of Changping, is responsible for cooperating with the two of them in investigating the case.

The three of them went to the charity house.

Along the way, Qin Xing didn't say a word, and seemed to be worried.

Fan Xiaodao then threw the question he asked Zhao Xing yesterday to Qin Xing.

"Captain Qin, do you believe there are cat monsters in the world?"
