Heart Survey

Chapter 15 A Whole Spring
Tangshe Town is located to the north of Fenglin City. It is one of the seven towns under the rule of Wei Quji, and it is also the smallest and most remote town.It is backed by the Qichang Mountains that stretch for dozens of miles, and the townspeople also rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, mostly hunters.

Walking in Tangshe Town, I saw old buildings and few pedestrians.Occasionally passing by are also in a hurry, eyebrows sullen.Not to mention Fenglin City, it is far inferior to Fengxi Town, where Jiang Wang was born.

"The villages near Tangshe Town are scattered along the Qichang Mountains. The people here live by hunting. Generally, they only gather in the town on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. Now is not the time to go to the market, so there are few pedestrians."

Jiang Wang had done a lot of homework before coming here, so Jiang Wang was able to explain something to Zhang Linchuan.

Even though this trip was arranged by the dean to take care of the junior and senior brothers, Jiang Wang knew that there was no reason for anyone to give advice, and he did not dare to slack off.

This way, Zhang Linchuan always smiled faintly, neither alienated nor familiar, so he couldn't see much emotion.

Hearing that, he just nodded and walked towards the house where the murder case occurred.

Although they came this time to represent the independent will of the Taoist Academy, it was not a good idea to meet the local officials.Tang Dun, the catcher of Tangshe Town, was waiting for them at the door of this family.

"Tang Daniu and his wife are both locals in our Tangshe Town. I and Daniu used to fight when we were young..." It can be seen that this rough man with dark skin and a straight face is a little sad, and his bell-like eyes are still full of brilliance. With bloodshot streaks, he kept chattering while standing there, saying repeatedly: "The dog egg demon is so hateful!

Zhang Linchuan glanced at the arresting suit on him, "Why are you here, and you are arresting the head?"

"We've been busy with other things." Tang Dun didn't notice Zhang Linchuan's dissatisfaction, and said to himself, "You'll all be high officials in the future, but you must decide for us!"

"Interesting, in a small town of Tangshe, is there anything more important than this big case of annihilation?" Zhang Linchuan smiled contemptuously, but did not pursue further investigations, and interrupted Tang Dun with a wave of his hand, "Said The point, what clues did you investigate? What did the people from the Criminal Investigation Department say when they came over?"

Dong A sent someone to investigate alone, and made it clear that Wei Quji could not be trusted.Correspondingly, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department avoided seeing it, and the local government in Tangshe Town only sent an unprofessional arrester to receive him, which is also conceivable.

Tang Dun scratched his head, "We... have no clues. Those adults from the Criminal Investigation Department found nothing and didn't tell us..."

Zhang Linchuan was almost laughed at by him. He didn't have any clues, so what are you talking about here for a long time!

But after all, he is well-mannered, and he said unpleasantly: "Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Tang Dun hurriedly tore off the seal on the door, took out the key, and opened the general's lock.This pushed the wooden door open.

Jiang Wang noticed that the seal was not simple, it was painted with a talisman to suppress evil.Obviously, the practitioners of the Criminal Investigation Department deliberately protected the scene.

As the seal was lifted, the door was opened, and a smell of decay, filth, and stench poured out.

Jiang Wangqiang endured the discomfort and looked at the small courtyard. All the things that hunters often use, such as hunting knives, clips, bows and arrows, as well as some animal skins and bacon, were scattered in the courtyard.

The skeleton of a hound was scattered around the front door.Judging from the posture, it was probably the first to detect the intruder, but it was dealt with in an instant.

Jiang Wang turned his head, Zhang Linchuan had covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with bluegrass, and his brows were wrinkled together.

Seeing Jiang Wang's inquiring eyes, Zhang Linchuan raised his chin slightly forward, and made a voice from under the handkerchief, "It's okay, let's go in."

At this time, Tang Dun stood sideways at the door, groaning a little: "I'll... don't go in. Here, the evil sect..."

He is only a mortal after all, Jiang Wang certainly won't force him, so he nodded, "Alright."

Then he took the lead and stepped into the courtyard.

The rich and strong corpse aura instantly surrounded it, covering the olfactory organs.This level of corpse aura is definitely not produced by killing a few people, but by summoning a few living corpses, it is more like communicating some kind of evil existence.

Zhang Linchuan glanced at Jiang Wang's sword-pressing hand behind him. The slender and fair phalanx looked clean and powerful.

"Junior Brother Jiang is good at swordsmanship?" he asked.

Jiang Wang looked around at the environment, but did not look back. He said in his mouth, "Brother Zhang was laughed at. The younger brother has not yet completed the Dao Xuan, and he has not yet practiced Daoism, so he can only rely on swordsmanship to defend himself."

"When the outer door was attacked, I heard that Junior Brother Jiang was also one of the people who was attacked, but he was able to escape calmly, which is extraordinary."

"Actually, it's also very thrilling. That monster is far stronger than me. I had to get out of it after disturbing my classmates."

There was a wooden dog house next to the courtyard, which of course was empty at the moment.Jiang Wang's eyes swept across, and there was no blood in the entire yard.

"The situation here is not good, junior brother be careful." Zhang Linchuan said.

"Little brother understands."

There are three rooms in this small courtyard, facing the courtyard door is the lobby, the door is open.A corpse was lying on the threshold, and there was no flesh and blood, only skeletons.Judging from the clothes on his body, it should be the male owner here, the hunter Tang Daniu.

Jiang Wang carefully stepped over the corpse and walked into the lobby.

The four walls of the lobby are empty without any decoration, but there is a table of the Eight Immortals, four benches, and some leftover meals on the table, covered with a bamboo hood.

Under the bench on the left, lies the hostess of the family, as evidenced by the sackcloth dress.

However... the food has not deteriorated, but the corpse is only bones.

The inexplicable chill pierced the tail vertebra, and the vague fear did not know where it came from. Jiang Wangji was about to draw his sword.But after all, he has experienced many life-and-death struggles. He suppressed his instincts and avoided embarrassment in front of Zhang Linchuan.

"These flesh and blood are by no means gnawed, but the effect of some kind of evil law." Zhang Linchuan put his handkerchief in his hand and looked around at random, and he could see that there was only disgust but no fear, "The two people died not long ago. , but the flesh and blood are gone, and many clues are lost. You have played against the monster who attacked the outer courtyard, what is familiar?"

Jiang Wang shook his head, "I only see two corpses now, so I can't judge. It's just the corpse aura that permeates all around..."

"how?"

"I was attacked by the other party manipulating the corpse, and I was poisoned by the corpse. It was Master Dong who solved it."

Zhang Linchuan nodded, never loosening the handkerchief covering his mouth, and walked straight to the room on the right side of the lobby, "Let's take a look separately, and notify me immediately if there is any situation."

"Ok."

Zhang Linchuan is an entry-level cultivator, the Taoist cycle in the Tongtian Palace, and the Taoyuan is self-generated.Jiang Wang didn't worry about him, and immediately walked to the left room with his sword.

……

This room...

Very small.

When you enter the door, you can see a wooden horse standing silently on the ground.This Trojan is extraordinarily delicate and smooth, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been devoted to the maker.

Not far from the wooden horse was a low table with gadgets such as slingshots and rattles scattered on it.

On the wall on the side of the low table, Jiang Wang saw the only decoration since entering the courtyard.

It was a small canvas on which three little people were painted with childish brushstrokes.

Two larger ones, holding a smaller one, ran in a sea of ​​flowers.

Behind the villain, there is also a dog that shakes its head.

This is a complete home, and it used to bloom here all spring.

Jiang Wang reluctantly continued to walk in, until he saw the scattered floral clothes in front of the short bed.

Looking up, he naturally saw the last pair of bones in the family.

Small, slender, fragile, lonely and helpless skeleton.

That is a little girl who was once regarded as a treasure by her parents, the only one left in this world.

He was angry.

Uncontrollable, extremely violent, angry.
