The night in Hangzhou City is different from that in Beijing.

In the capital city, there will be a curfew at night, and people are not allowed to move around when the time is up.

However, there is no curfew in Hangzhou City, and there are still many shops selling food on the street at night.

Shen Yi was discussing with Lu Wenzhao and the others. After hearing the news that Hangzhou was haunted today, Shen Yi planned to go to see it at night.

Putting on night clothes, he and Lu Wenzhao left the inn to go to the address they had inquired about during the day.

And Xiaohuan and Yuan Yongqin are protected by Ding Baiying, so they don't need to worry about safety issues.

Walking all the way, they came to a small courtyard.

The small courtyard was quiet, and there was still a seal on the gate.

The two climbed over the wall and entered. As soon as they entered, Lu Wenzhao frowned and tugged at the hem of Shen Yi's clothes.

Shen Yi turned his head in doubt, and Lu Wenzhao said in a low voice, "The situation is wrong, it seems that there are people living in this courtyard."

Shen Yi was even more surprised, how did Lu Wenzhao see it.

Looking at Shen Yi's expression, Lu Wenzhao said in a low voice: "It makes a big difference whether there are people living in the courtyard. According to what those people said, there should be no one living in the courtyard for 5 days. There should be a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants. It can't be so quiet, it only happens in the courtyard where people live."

Shen Yi understood that he was indeed a person who had been outside for a long time, but he observed so carefully that he didn't find anything.

Knowing that the situation might be wrong, Shen Yi and the two did not leave directly, but investigated more carefully.

But after looking around, there was no one in the courtyard, as if no one lived there.

Shen Yi looked at Lu Wenzhao with an expression that said: Did you make a mistake?
Lu Wenzhao was also puzzled, he shouldn't, his own judgment would not be wrong.

Signaling to Shen Yi, Lu Wenzhao slowly approached the door, made a sudden force, then rolled over and entered the room.

Standing outside the door, Shen Yi looked at Lu Wenzhao's flowing movements, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The old rivers and lakes are different.

Seeing that nothing happened after Lu Wenzhao went in, Shen Yi went in with confidence.

Lu Wenzhao walked to the bed, looked at the marks on the bed, and whispered, "Your Highness, someone should have lived on the bed during the day."

Shen Yi couldn't see anything, but still believed in Lu Wenzhao's judgment.

To be honest, if Shen Yi didn't feel that this incident might have something to do with him, he really didn't want to meddle in such nosy matters.

I went to look at the other rooms, and they were all occupied by people.

I went to investigate several other houses, and the situation was very similar to this one. People came back to live during the day.

Back at the inn, the two of them explained the situation, and the rest of them were also at a loss, unable to figure out what was going on.

Everyone had no clue for a while, so they could only go back to their respective rooms and go to sleep.

Of course Shen Yi lived in the same room with Xiaohuan, but the sound insulation of the inn was not very good, so Xiaohuan had to work hard.

Early the next morning, Shen Yi heard in the inn that many diners were talking about it.

But nothing happened last night.

During the day, Shen Yi asked Ding Xiu and Ding Xian to watch around the courtyard to see if anyone lived in the courtyard during the day.

The rest of them went to play around Hangzhou city.

For three days in a row, nothing happened, as if with the arrival of Shen Yi and his party, the murderer also stopped.

No one entered the courtyard during the day.

The detailed files of the case are in the yamen, and Shen Yi cannot see them unless he reveals his identity.

Shen Yi had already discussed with Lu Wenzhao last night, and he would go to the yamen during the day, it doesn't matter if his identity is exposed or not, the main reason is that this matter made Shen Yi very curious.

Let Lu Wenzhao go to the yamen first, but Shen Yi didn't go directly, it was inappropriate.

Soon after, the magistrate came in plain clothes, saluted after entering the house, and said: "The next official, Liu Shiwen, pays homage to His Royal Highness."

Shen Yi waved his hand and said: "Prefect Liu, there is no need to be polite, I just came here for fun, and I was curious when I heard something strange happened in Hangzhou City, and wanted to ask what happened."

Liu Zhifu looked at the surrounding environment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I also ask His Royal Highness to follow me to the yamen, the lower official has ordered the servants to prepare a light meal, and I will ask the head arrester in charge of this case to explain to the eldest son. Let's eat and talk."

Shen Yi did not refuse, and everyone went to the Yamen.

At the dinner table, apart from Shen Yi and the others, Liu Shiwen's master and the head catcher were all accompanying him.

I only heard the head catcher say: "Your Highness, this case was just discovered 5 days ago, but in fact it has been more than [-] days, and we just found the body [-] days ago. There is no wound on the body, just like sleeping , very weird."

Speaking of this, the head catcher also showed a panicked look, as if he was frightened.

"The corpses are all smiling. That smile, how should I put it, I have never seen such a horrible thing in my life. That smile is like a wish fulfilled. It is gratifying and satisfying."

Shen Yi was fascinated by listening, and then said: "Then what happened to the disappearance of the corpse?"

Headhunter: "After we carried the corpse to Yizhuang, it disappeared overnight, as if it didn't exist at all. For five consecutive days, the corpse of the previous day disappeared every day, and on the last day, we even sent A lot of yamen guards took care of them, but at night, for some unknown reason, all the yamen servants fell asleep, and the bodies still disappeared the next day."

"What is the relationship between the five dead families?"

"There is no connection at all. If there is a connection, only the address of the death is related. The east of the city, the west of the city, the south of the city, the north of the city, and the center of the city. There are five murders and five locations all over the entire city of Hangzhou."

Shen Yi pondered, this place seems to be afraid that others will not find it.

"What about these few days? Are there any murders?"

"It's gone. It's strange to say that there are only these five incidents. It seems that the murderer stopped all of a sudden. It's very strange."

Shen Yi also speculated secretly there, didn't it seem to be aimed at him? ? ?

Could it be that I was too careful and suspicious?
"Then do you have anything to suspect?"

Shen Yi didn't give up, and then asked.

Catcher shook his head with a helpless expression.

Shen Yi also understands that with the current technology, it is too difficult to solve such a case, and he does not blame them.

Even now, if such a case really happened, it might be sealed in the archives in the end.

Sighing, Shen Yi shook his head, not thinking too much, since there are no clues, what can he do.

In the evening, the magistrate said nothing to let Shen Yi live in the inn anymore.

In Liu Shiwen's words, it was Shen Yi's identity. If any accident happened in Hangzhou City, I could hardly absolve myself of the responsibility. Since Shen Yi came to Hangzhou City, I was obliged to ensure Shen Yi's safety.

In the evening, Shen Yi chatted with Lu Wenzhao, and they all expressed that they couldn't see anything.

Back in the room, the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. Shen Yi stopped thinking about it, stood up from the chair, and looked at the layout in the room.

I have to say that Liu Shiwen's layout is still very thoughtful. The layout of the room, the grade of tables and chairs, it seems that they are not arranged casually, and it is obvious that they have spent a lot of effort.

Looking at Xiaohuan on the bed, Shen Yi instantly dissipated all his troubles.

Holding Xiaohuan's soft waist, looking at Xiaohuan's face full of peach blossoms, Shen Yi whispered something in Xiaohuan's ear.

Seeing that Xiaohuan's face was flushed and her eyes were closed, she said nothing, as if she was asleep, Shen Yi gave a wicked smile, and bent down.

After a while, Shen Yi heard Xiaohuan's eager panting, and said, "Xiaohuan, how are you doing? Do you agree to His Highness's request?"

Although Xiaohuan felt uncomfortable all over, she still shook her head stubbornly.

"Your Highness, it's no good, so don't bully Xiaohuan. Apart from this, Xiaohuan promises His Highness everything."

Listening to Xiaohuan's crying voice, Shen Yi also felt that Xiaohuan was indeed a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Xiaohuan, you promised me everything you said, so I'll make another request."

Xiaohuan is helpless, I really don't know where His Royal Highness learned these things, how come I have never seen them in books?

Standing up refreshed, Shen Yi felt that all his troubles during this period were gone.

Seeing Xiaohuan curled up in his arms, Shen Yi smiled from the bottom of his heart, seeing Xiaohuan like this, what more could he ask for.

After breakfast, Shen Yi, since you plan to go out, continue to walk around Hangzhou City.

Prefect Liu was worried, and arranged for a few policemen to follow him, but Shen Yi did not refuse, after all, this was also Prefect Liu's wish.

But soon, Shen Yi realized that he was wrong.
