Zombie girl reborn

Chapter 22
"If you don't ask yourself, it's considered stealing, even the stolen corpse is considered stealing!" Xu Qingyuan stood on Gongsun Yun's side with a righteous and dignified posture.

Half of our team disagreed, and it was hard for me to continue digging.

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Yun said: "Although the owner here is gone, all matters in Linxiang County are under the supervision of the county magistrate. We should go and ask the magistrate first."

Although this will delay some time, it should be done according to the rules, so we went back to the county magistrate's mansion.

After explaining their purpose to the yamen guard at the gate, they went in to inform the county magistrate, and then led us in.

"Brother Wei Ning, are you going to Beijing for the exam tomorrow?"

"It's a long way to go to the capital. If I don't go tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Before entering the room, I heard a conversation from the back room, which seemed to be Liang Shishi and her brother Wei Ning.

"You are here! Daddy, these are some priests who passed by our Linxiang County by chance. My daughter couldn't bear to see you frowning all day long, so she entrusted them to investigate this case."

Seemingly hearing our footsteps, Liang Shishi came out to greet us first.

Listening to the familiar yet unfamiliar female voice, I was sure that this person was Liang Shishi, but when I saw her again, I stood there speechless for a long time.

Who is this dignified and elegant lady in front of me?

I seriously suspect that Liang Shishi, who was dressed in gray and bunted with chicken nests, was just someone I dreamed of.

The difference is so big, it can't be said that they are not alike at all, it can only be said that they have nothing to do with each other.

Now if someone comes forward and tells me that this person is Liang Shishi's twin sister, I will definitely believe it.

The three of them beside me probably had the same idea as me, and were stunned in surprise, but it was Xu Qingyuan who spoke outspokenly. "You...you are Liang Shishi?"

"It's the little girl, what's the matter with the Taoist priest?" Liang Shishi still said gently.

"No, the ugly and dirty one from before..."

Before Xu Qingyuan finished speaking, Liang Shishi's eyes flew over like knives in an instant, and his face gradually became ferocious, as if saying that if you dare to say another word, I will kill you.

Different from her ferocious expression, her tone was still very gentle and amiable: "Master Taoist, what are you talking about?"

"No...it's nothing!" Xu Qingyuan seemed to be frightened by her aura, so he quickly changed his words.

"Shishi, let the priests come in!" Hearing that the county magistrate also came out, Liang Shishi changed his face in an instant, and became that gentle and graceful lady again.

After entering the house, we will inform them of our purpose. Although the county magistrate said that he was present when the autopsy was performed and the burial was carried out, but this matter concerns the safety of the people in the city, he still agreed to our request.

But it was almost noon now, and the custom in Linxiang does not allow the coffin to be opened in the afternoon, because it is easy to cause trouble, so we agreed that he would send someone to open the coffin with us tomorrow morning.

The county magistrate was very hospitable, and he let us have a meal at his house, and also prepared a room for us, so that we don't have to go to the inn at night.

But after dinner, I went back to the inn alone on the grounds that I had left something in the inn.

Because every time an accident happened in Linxiang County, it was a man, so they didn't worry too much about me, and let me go by myself.

When I came to the inn, I went back to the room where I was staying in under the pretext of looking for something, and pretended to rummage through it before saying that maybe the thing was in the county magistrate's mansion.

When the waiter in the store heard what I said, he stopped and asked curiously, "Guest officer, how can you still live in the magistrate's house?"

"Aren't we here to investigate the case? We have an appointment with the county magistrate to go to Butcher Zhang's house tomorrow... Wait, they won't let you talk about this!" I quickly covered my mouth as I spoke, looking flustered.

"Butcher Zhang? Which Butcher Zhang? Guest officer, don't say anything halfway. Believe me, I have a tight mouth, and I will never talk nonsense to others!"

Seeing his sincerity and honesty, I whispered: "This butcher is the earliest murderer who committed this kind of crime in Linxiang County. We found out that the murderer who committed the crime over the years is likely to be Butcher Zhang's family, so we will tomorrow Going to open the coffin for an autopsy, one of the two buried bodies must be a fake!"

Xiaoer seemed to understand some of the case, and said with reason, "So it is! So the murderer should be the son of the butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang was so strong that he could break a man's neck with his bare hands. His wife should not be so big." Strength, his grown son is very likely."

"Yeah, I think so too, so tomorrow I'll focus on checking his son's body to see if it's fake." After chatting with Xiaoer for a while, I went back to the county magistrate's mansion the same way.

After greeting a few of them, I pretended to be too tired and went back to the room to sleep. Then I turned into a corpse and left the room.

It was still early when I arrived at Butcher Zhang's house, and while I was lying in ambush here, I wondered if the person who would come later would be that Xiao Er as I expected.

Today I thought about it carefully, why every time someone from outside comes to investigate the case, the murderer is always silent, and a man from outside comes here drunk, but just happens to be hit by the murderer.

This can only show that the murderer has actually been in this Linxiang County all along, and he is still in a well-informed place.
