Jianghai Wuyue

Luckily, although there were some gangsters in the Yamen of Yuzhou, the things that Chen Ling and the others said did not happen. There was even a majestic tall man who walked like a tiger and walked out to greet him.It was Wang Shanhai who I saw that night.

Walking closer, Wang Shanhai cupped his fists and said apologetically, "I have been busy investigating the case these days, and I haven't restrained this villain who steals, rapes and plays tricks. If there is any conflict, please forgive me, my lord."

After returning, Wang Shanhai sent people to investigate the identities of Chen Ling and the others, only to find out that Chen Ling was the eldest son of the powerful Chen family in Yuzhou, and he came back this time to hold the crowning ceremony.The mighty people and horses accompanying them will be known to everyone within midnight.

Wang Shanhai thought that Chen Ling was rather chivalrous and courageous. Knowing about the tragedy that night, he would definitely come to interrogate him. These days, he asked a small official under him to keep an eye on the gate of the yamen, just to prevent someone from bumping into him.I didn't expect that there was really someone who didn't have eyes, and bumped into it in a daze.Wang Shanhai glanced coolly at Liu Fu, who was lying unconscious on the ground, with an even more respectful look on his face.

Chen Ling didn't care what Wang Shanhai was thinking, and said in a loud voice: "Farewell in the night of horror, but we haven't seen each other for four or five days. I don't know how the investigation is going."

Wang Shanhai led Chen Ling and his party in, and a dark-eyed official behind him quietly withdrew, released the fish seller captured by Liu Fu, and took out a bunch of copper coins as a comfort.

Chen Ling looked at Wang Shanhai coldly. At first, he only thought that he was an old man who had experienced in the officialdom, but now seeing how the people around him behaved, he did not disappoint his upright face.There was a little more respect in the words, "Your Excellency has worked hard day and night and devoted all his energy. It is really inappropriate to disturb me at this time. It's just that I am concerned about who the murderer is, so I came here with the cheek today."

Wang Shanhai wished that he would bother him, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard the words: "Young Master, you are serious. You are skilled in martial arts, and you are well-informed. You should know more than those of us who stay at home. The woman's The knife wound does not seem to be done by ordinary people, so I ask you to take a closer look at it."

Chen Ling nodded and followed Wang Shanhai to the first separate courtyard behind the yamen.There were no flowers or plants planted in the courtyard, just a few wilting young trees and nothing else.There are not many people there, and there is only the sound of pigeons flapping their wings occasionally flying past here.

Lin Si rubbed the goosebumps on her arms uncomfortably, and said with drooping eyes, "This place is also sunny, why do I still feel gloomy and uncomfortable?"

Wang Shanhai explained in a soft tone: "This is the morgue. In order not to look so gloomy, the yard with the best sunshine was taken out to make the morgue. But I don't know if the resentment on the dead is too much. Because of the seriousness, in the past few years, even if the sun is hot and high, it can't dispel the gloomy air."

Chen Ling is a person who has died once, so he is not afraid of these things. Wang Qi himself is a cold-hearted person, and he doesn't care about his son's negative energy.Only Lin Si and Luo Shui followed behind tremblingly, like little chickens that had been watered, very pitiful.

"I think you two really have a bad complexion. You should wait for us outside, so as not to go in and provoke the trouble." Chen Ling took off his cloak and put it in Lin Si's hand, although he couldn't let Lin Si Wearing it on the body, but holding a warm fox fur dress in the hand, it can be regarded as dispelling a little bit of cold air on the body.

Lin Si hesitated for a while, but retreated above the gloomy cyclone, pulled Luo Shui back and waited outside the door.

The room was not as eerie and treacherous as people imagined, it was cleaned quite cleanly, the windows were wide open, and a light stream of sunlight poured out from the opened windows, hitting the base of the wall.There was no disgusting smell of blood, and there was an elegant vase on a desk near the window, with a bunch of scattered plum blossoms in it.

"This place has never been uncomfortable as soon as you enter it like other mortuaries. If you don't say it, you may think it is some gentleman's study." Chen Ling looked at the few books placed on the roof with bright eyes. There is a bookshelf with stacked files neatly stacked on it. It seems that the owner is a very strict person.

Wang Shanhai shouted to the back room with a bright voice: "Mr. Ning! I have important witnesses to bring!"

In the back room with the door half open, only the darkness and silence could be seen. After a long while, a hand was put on the door, and he walked out slowly.

He was an extremely pale and thin man, wearing a patched green shirt, and his hair was tied neatly and carefully with a snow-green Gebu hairband.A pair of eyes were extremely pale, and when Chen Ling looked over indifferently, Chen Ling couldn't even see his own figure in his eyes, only a void of paleness.The whole person seems to be a wandering soul born out of the dark place, wrapped in a human shell, drifting silently on the ground.

"Mr. Ning, these two are the first people who saw the deceased that night." Wang Shanhai looked at this crooked assistant with a particularly solemn expression, "This is the eldest son of the Chen family in Shuhengli... Chen Ling , this is Tianmu Mountain Fairy Suyin's disciple... Wang Qi."

Mr. Ning glanced at Chen Ling and Wang Qi indifferently, as if the snow spar's eyeballs did not fluctuate at all, he nodded politely at Chen Ling, "My humble servant, Ning Ze, is the official of the Yuzhou government office. Let me tell you what you see Say it like that."

Seeing that Ning Ze is not a person who pays attention to etiquette and likes to get straight to the point, Chen Ling didn't mess with those red tapes, and said: "That night, we just returned from Tianmu Mountain and happened to be resting in Baiwei Pavilion. In the middle of the night, we heard a loud noise. Terrible screams came from the south of us. Out of curiosity, Langyue and I went to have a look. When we arrived, there were no less than 20 people standing there. The girl's head was stuck on the railing. Already dead."

Thinking of the knife wound on the girl, Chen Ling frowned, and said softly: "The knife wound on the girl's body was not caused by an ordinary knife wound, but a willow leaf shape with sharp ends and a paper-thin center. The scimitar. Being able to draw so many knife marks on the woman so smoothly, and the strength of each knife is even, it can be seen that he is a veteran. He has a perfect grasp of the weapons in his hand."

Ning Ze nodded slightly, without showing any surprise, and asked, "Did you see anything strange when you went there?"

"Strange?" Chen Ling lowered his eyes and thought deeply. He was shocked by the early appearance of the willow leaf machete that night, and his mind was somewhat in a trance.And the girl died in a miserable state, most of her eyes were on her, "Sorry, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Hearing this sentence, Ning Ze rubbed the moiré pattern on his sleeves with his fingers discouraged, with a calm expression on his face, "Thank you both."

Chen Ling didn't do anything to help, and he was a little nervous in his heart, "I have an unfeeling request, and I hope you will agree to it."

"what?"

"I hope that sir will allow me to take another look at the girl's body. I have an idea in my heart. Maybe I can verify it when I see the girl's body." Chen Ling said sincerely with his fists clasped, his eyes sparkling with kindness. The pure sincerity of bluffing.

Ning Ze didn't know if he was taken by his eyes, but he hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.He took the old copper lamp from the corner of the table, and led the three of them into the room they left just now.

This room is not as dry and clean as the outside room, but rather cold and damp, with a little slippery moss growing on the stairs going down.All the light was completely annihilated here, leaving only the subtle light of a copper lamp in the hand of Ning Ze who was walking in the front.

The place where the corpses were stored was in a square cellar. There were several neat and clean narrow beds and several corpses covered with white cloths.The place where there was a wooden box in front of the bed was the woman's body.

Ning Ze pulled up the white cloth. She was once a fair and tender woman, but now she is covered in blue and white. There are still some scarlet bloodstains and grim broken wounds on her treated body.He was wearing an ordinary white linen dress, and there were a few needle-pricked red spots on his exposed arms.There are traces of being trampled on the palm.

Chen Ling didn't dislike the woman's stiff body covered in hoarfrost, and leaned closer to hold an arm, pulled down the sleeve, and examined it carefully.

"What did you find?" Ning Ze lit up the bedside lamp, dispelled the darkness in the entire cellar, walked to Chen Ling and asked softly.

"I've seen the same incision on a person before, but it was on a man. I don't know if the same method will have the same effect on a woman, so now I'm here to verify it." Chen A ball of true energy gathered in Ling's hand, and the warm air flowed against the woman's stiff arm, and soon the arm slowly showed a bright red color.

"What are you doing! Destroying the corpse at will will cause damage to the collection of evidence!" Ning Ze was in a hurry. He was always a serious person, and he preserved the corpse with the same precision. Seeing Chen Ling changing the appearance of the corpse like this , even if you want to grab it.

Ning Ze was anxious, and his hand movements were faster than usual, but no matter how fast he could be faster than Chen Ling, Ning Ze missed it with a slight dodge.

"Sir, don't worry. I just used my true energy to force out the hidden things on my arm. I didn't intend to destroy the body. When the time comes, I will take away my true energy and it will still look the same." Chen Ling explained softly with a smile, Turning over the thing on the arm, Ning Ze calmed down the anxiety on his face.

A budding peony is curled on the bright red arm, the petals are moist, and there is a dewdrop rolling on the edge of the petals, so lifelike that people think it is a real flower that is about to bloom.

"What's the reason for this? Why does it need true energy to show?" Ning Ze rushed forward with a shoulder and squeezed beside Chen Ling, "This woman is just an ordinary girl in the water heart. It’s just a geisha, because of her elegant and graceful appearance, she was favored by rich merchants and brought them to the Baiwei Pavilion for fun. How could such a thing appear on a little geisha? Could it be something left by the murderer?”

Seeing this budding peony, Chen Ling let out a long breath as expected, looked at the dead singing girl with complicated eyes, and said softly: "This is not the trace left by the murderer, but the trace left by the murderer. This woman is not a simple character."

Chen Ling's slender fingers slid across the petals of the peony, and following Chen Ling's movements, the still flower on his arm slowly bloomed from a shy bud to a gorgeous, delicate and enchanting peony.

"This trick is something that the dead servant of the former prince would have."
