The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

Eight days later, the snowstorm came again and everyone had to stop and move to the nearest Wuming County to settle down.

But when everyone arrived, the entire county was shrouded in sorrow, and every household hung white sails.

Some people are crying quietly...

"Sister, is there a funeral going on?" Gongsun Jiayan stopped a woman who was in a hurry and asked.

Everyone on this street wore sackcloth and white cloth on their heads.

"You are from other places, right? Alas, the magistrate of our Wuming County is dead!"

"The county magistrate is dead?" Gongsun Jiayan was stunned!

Upon hearing this, several people in the carriage got off.

"Yes! Our county magistrate! He was a truly good official! He was already fifty years old, but he still had no wife or children. His parents also passed away one after another in the past few years. He was alone when he left, so all of us common people came spontaneously to see the county magistrate off to the grave!" the woman said, wiping the frozen tears from the corners of her eyes.

Afraid of missing the farewell party, the woman left in a hurry.

Shen Qingxu and Lin Shuyao heard the woman's words clearly.

The two looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.

I didn’t expect that this small and unknown county actually had such a good official who was loved by the people!

If all officials could be as honest as the magistrate of Wuming County and be loved by the people, then what a harmonious and stable country Daliang would become!

The country is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment!

Several people also followed the farewell team to pay tribute to this good county magistrate.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

“Ahhhh! The county magistrate’s head! The county magistrate’s head is gone!”

Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd not far away, shocking everyone into chaos.

Upon hearing this, several people came forward to inquire.

How could such a normal person be headless?

Could it be that there was something fishy about the county magistrate's death? Or was he murdered?

The people around all moved a little further away, which made it convenient for Shen Qingxu and others to go forward and check.

The constables from the government office wanted to stop them, but after Xu Xingyi took out a token to identify himself, the constable saluted respectfully and expressed the hope that they could help find out the cause of the county magistrate's death.

When Xu Xingyi lifted the white cloth, the scene above made everyone shudder.

The county magistrate's head was missing, and the area below his collarbone was all scratched.

What a huge hatred this is!

Only someone could do such a cruel thing!

"When did the county magistrate die? Who discovered it first?" Gongsun Jiayan covered his mouth and nose and asked the people around him.

"The butler of the county magistrate's residence found it this morning! By the time he found out, the county magistrate was already dead!"

"We don't know the cause of death either. The doctor came and said it seemed like he died of a sudden illness, so we all came here to set up a mourning tent and prepare a funeral meal for the county magistrate. But everything was fine just now, but suddenly a gust of cold wind blew away the white cloth, and we found that the county magistrate's head was missing." The citizen trembled as he repeated the whole story to Shen Qingxu and the others.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingxu and others looked at each other.

This thing is so outrageous.

How did that person manage to chop off the county magistrate's head in front of so many people without being discovered?

"Okay, thank you uncle." Mu Yunzhou thanked him and looked at Xu Xingyi.

"Brother Captain, please take your men to seal off this place and don't let anyone else disrupt the scene. We are sent here by the capital to conduct a secret investigation and we are also ordered to investigate the case." Xu Xingyi took out the Imperial City Order in his hand and showed it to the people present.

This incident is too fantastic, it must be a homicide, and they must find out the real culprit behind it.

Upon hearing this, the constable immediately brought a few constables and several strong laborers, surrounded the scene, and drove away all the other civilians, for fear of disturbing Xu Xingyi and others from investigating the case.

Xu Xingyi, Shen Qingxu and Mu Yunzhou carefully examined the county magistrate's body.

"Qingfang, you take your men to guard here, and we will go to the county magistrate's house to take a look." Shen Qingxu said with a cold face.

The man said that the county magistrate died at home, and perhaps there might be some clues in his home.

"Okay lady."

Shen Qingxu and others were led by the common people and came to the county magistrate's house.
