Xu Xian really had something in his mind, and it was something related to his brother-in-law Li Gongfu.
For Xu Xian, the closest person in this world is naturally his sister Xu Jiaorong.
After Xu Jiaorong, his brother-in-law Li Gongfu's position in his heart was not much different from Murong Bai's teacher.
Therefore, for Murong Bai's inquiry, Xu Xian certainly would not fail to answer.
After organizing his words slightly, he told Murong Bai what happened at home early this morning, and when Murong Bai heard Xu Xian's explanation, his heart couldn't help but jump A few times.
Li Gongfu was indeed involved in a troublesome matter.
But to be more specific, in fact, the trouble Li Gongfu was involved in this time is not just a problem that he will encounter alone.
The whole thing had to start three days ago.
It is not long after Lixia is now, the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer.
Therefore, for the people in Hangzhou, their nightlife has become much richer than before.
Three days ago, led by a few well-known talents in the city, gathered a lot of talented scholars, and held a literary meeting in the building outside the building.
Because everyone was having too much fun, by the time the show ended, it was already around Haishi, and it was almost midnight.
Because they drank too much wine, those who were picked up naturally went home in carriages, and those who were not picked up, the talented scholars who took the lead arranged accommodation for them, and they were not afraid that they would not have a place to rest.
But there was a humble scholar who lived in the south of the city, because he was worried about his wife who was expecting childbirth, even if he was the only one who was drunk on the road, he insisted on going home.
But he didn't expect that on the way, he saw a tragedy of a monster eating people, so he immediately woke up from the wine, and when he saw the blood all over the ground, he was frightened and passed out by this scholar, and he didn't wait until the next morning. He was found by passers-by and sent back home.
Hearing what Xu Xian said, Murong Bai couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Xu Xian, "Monsters eat people?"
Although Baimei was in charge of intelligence in Murong Bai's mansion, Baimei's focus was only on Jinshan Bieyuan and Monk Fahai, and she didn't pay too much attention to the various deeds that happened in the city.
After all, in a big city like Hangzhou where millions of people live, it is quite normal for a few people to die every day.
Murong Bai is not the magistrate of Hangzhou, nor the local city god. If he is concerned about everything, let alone whether he is suspected of being a dog or a mouse, his daily life is too boring.
Xu Xian's original narration process was interrupted by Murong Bai's question. He was startled for a moment, but then he reacted and explained to Murong Bai, "I heard from my brother-in-law, and I'm not sure if it's a monster eating people."
"However, what that Ma Xiucai saw was indeed the scene of two beggars being killed. It was extremely miserable."
Drunken, but wanted to go home alone, so that the humble scholar who fainted from the scene of the murder was the Ma Xiucai Xu Xian said, and the two dead people he saw were all unknown people in Hangzhou. A beggar without a surname.
Xu Xian said to Murong Bai, "Brother-in-law said, those two beggars who died were all taken out of their hearts and lungs by extremely violent and domineering methods without any equipment, although martial arts masters can do it." , but it is not wrong to say that it was done by monsters.”
Murong Bai nodded, indicating that he already knew about it, and signaled Xu Xian to continue talking, "Go ahead."
And Xu Xian also spoke again, picked up what he had just interrupted, and then talked about the subsequent development process.
Ma Xiucai saw a black shadow that was faster than the lightning, and it emptied the hearts and lungs of the two beggars in an instant. Stimulated by the blood all over the ground, he was frightened and fainted immediately. Even if he woke up the next day, lo! It also looks a little bit like being frightened and frightened, and it looks crazy.
Now lying at home, all day long, but still talking nonsense.
Originally, if it was just such a case, it would be nothing in the huge city of Hangzhou.
But in the night before, another person died.
And this death directly killed five people!
The ones who died this time were five gamblers who walked out of the gambling house in the south of the city. They were found dead in a dark alley beside the street.
On two nights, the hawkers who set up a stall selling wontons saw them die, and a black shadow suddenly passed by, and their hearts and lungs were cut out neatly.
And last night, after the two clients who died in a brothel backstreet in the east of the city and had a good time in the brothel were seen by many people when they died, this series of events finally caused received the attention of the government.
Although those who died due to the inexplicable shadow during these three consecutive days were all low-level people in the city such as beggars, gamblers, and whores, it is really difficult for them to die. There were too many waves in the city of Hangzhou with tens of thousands of people.
But because the death conditions of these people were too mysterious, it was difficult for the government not to think of Ma Xiucai's earliest remarks, linking the cause of death of these people with the word "monster".
If it is really a monster, then the whole thing is naturally a big deal.
Chapter 1309
Chapter 1309
Because he just went to Zhenjiang next door for a business trip and came back, so Li Gongfu wasn't on duty here these two days.
And the heart-pounding tragedy that happened in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou city for three consecutive days can be called extremely bad. No matter how you look at it, you should find an experienced old head catcher in the yamen to take care of it, and it shouldn't be Li Gongfu who has just been transferred. The deputy catcher who had just entered the magistrate's yamen was in charge.
But because everyone has found a commonality in these three cases, and many people have thought in their hearts that this case is very likely to be the so-called speculation of monsters. Therefore, they have had experience in dealing with monsters earlier. Li Gongfu, who participated in the tiger demon cannibalism case last year, came into the sight of the high-level officials of the government office, and decided that he, as the deputy head arrester, would take the lead in the investigation of this serial heart-pounding case.
Therefore, last night, when there was a third heart-pounding case in the city, and someone said convincingly that they had indeed seen the trace of the evil spirit who attacked people, a warrant written by the prefect of Hangzhou himself was released. He was sent to Li's house and handed over to Li Gongfu.
After receiving the order, Li Gongfu didn't have time to tell his family too much, so he put on his robe in a hurry, and walked out of the house together with the arresters who came to deliver the order.
In addition to investigating all the scenes of the crime that night, he also led people to carefully inspect many places in the city in the middle of the night.
However, even though Li Gongfu spent a lot of energy on this busy trip, until the end, he couldn't find many clues.
So much so that Li Gongfu, who did not return home until dawn the next morning, besides dragging a very tired body, was also filled with a lot of frustration in his heart.
"Don't let me catch him!"
Back home, Li Gongfu happened to be in time for breakfast.
So, sitting at the dinner table, after receiving a bowl of hot porridge brought by his wife, Li Gongfu couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and uttered such an oath.
Although many people said that the thieves who committed this serial heart-pumping case should be those elusive monsters and evil creatures, after a whole night of investigation, Li Gongfu has also noticed that in this case, there are indeed There are many unusual places.
