I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"problem occurs!"

Zeng Dehao said these three words as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Huh? Please make it clear, don't be surprised."

"That's right, the old man sent someone over early in the morning to inform that something serious happened in the town.

A couple surnamed Zhu died strangely in the hospital, and the death conditions were horrific.Chickens, dogs, and pigs at home also died suddenly.

The most bizarre thing is that there are still many ants in the yard, densely gathered together, and combined into a few words"

Gu Ming's face was startled: "There is such a strange thing? What are the words?"

"It's too peaceful for a faint official to take office!"

Before Gu Ming could speak, Su Ling also sighed: "Right now, all the people in Taiping Town are panicked and rumors are flying everywhere.

You can probably guess the meaning of these eight characters without me telling you. "

"Ok!"

Gu Ming nodded solemnly.

Nie Hongshu had just taken over as county magistrate, which clearly implied that he was a stupid official.

It's just that the combination of ants into words is too bizarre.

It seems that there must be something hidden in this strange case

Chapter 56 Strange Cases One After Another

At noon, Nie Hongshu went to Taiping Town to investigate the case in person.

Gu Ming naturally followed.

Not to mention that this strange case is related to the future and reputation of the father-in-law, even if there is no such relationship, he still has to come.

Because he received a system special task.

And, this time the reward is 40 points.

It can be seen that the difficulty of this task is relatively high, after all, only 20 points were awarded for the first two times.

Gu Ming has already thought about the use of the points, to upgrade the quality of the weapon, that is, the white Chinese calligraphy brush.

There are corresponding upgrade symbols in the mall, from white quality to blue quality, 40 points for each piece.

After all, to Gu Ming, the writing brush is not only a writing tool, but also a weapon.

Scholars must of course fight like a scholar. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his words but not his hands, and verbal criticism is undoubtedly more effective.

And more handsome, more elegant!

This is called specialization in art

"Meet the county magistrate!"

"I've seen Master Nie!"

As soon as the people arrived, many people kowtowed to Nie Hongshu.

Scholars such as squires and scholars with status and status do not need to kowtow, but just go forward and salute.

"You don't have to be too polite!"

Nie Hongshu raised his hand as a signal, then walked to Zeng Tiancheng's side and whispered, "This officer received two similar strange cases this morning, and besides this place, Dingjiachang also had one."

"Dingjiachang"

Hearing this, Zeng Tiancheng couldn't help frowning.

"So, this officer suspects that this was a premeditated incident."

Having said that, Zeng Tiancheng suddenly realized.

In order to support Nie Hongshu last time, he contacted a group of gentry to support him.Among them, Ding Zhiyou from Dingjiachang is one of the more hard-working ones.

Is this a coincidence, or was this done on purpose?

"Okay, I'll go and see the scene first!"

"it is good!"

Under Zeng Tiancheng's leadership, Nie Hongshu, Gu Ming, and the accompanying Wu Zuo walked into the scene of the crime with the police.

The head of the household is Zhu Dachang, who has a daughter who works as a maid in a neighboring county and is not at home.

Fortunately, he was not at home, otherwise he would not have escaped.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Nie Hongshu ordered a few police officers: "First, search carefully inside and outside the courtyard to see if there are any suspicious clues."

"Yes, my lord!"

Several policemen responded in unison, and then searched separately.

Wu Zuo went to the corpse and knelt down to check.

Gu Ming also stepped forward to inspect it. Sure enough, the death was very miserable, with protruding eyeballs and distorted facial muscles, as if he had been frightened to death.

There was an empty blood hole in the chest of the couple, and their hearts were missing.

In addition, several chickens and a domestic dog raised in the yard, including two pigs in the pen, also had their hearts removed and died suddenly.

Nie Hongshu looked at the corpse with a frown, then moved a few steps and squatted down to look at the pile of ants on the ground.

At this time, the ants hadn't dispersed yet, and the eight characters of "faint officials took office, peace and injustice" formed by them could still be vaguely distinguished.

"Will the ground be dipped in honey water or something?"

Gu Ming came over, and also squatted down and asked subconsciously.

"should not."

Nie Hongshu stretched out his finger and rubbed the ground, twisted it, and smelled it, but found nothing unusual.

"That's weird"

When he first heard that ants formed characters, Gu Ming's first thought was that someone spread honey or something on the ground.

Because I have seen similar routines in film and television dramas in my previous life, using this method to attract ants, honey bees and the like to gather together, and then combine them into words to deceive the world.

After careful inspection, there is indeed nothing unusual on the ground.

No smell, no strange feeling, and no writing lines. Are these ants really so smart?

Isn't that perfect?

"What do you think?"

Nie Hongshu couldn't figure it out, so he glanced at Gu Ming and asked.

"Although I can't figure this out for the time being, I'm sure that these ants are definitely not automatically combining words, and there should be someone secretly manipulating them.

However, what method was used remains to be verified. "

"Well, it's a bit nerve-wracking indeed."

Nie Hongshu let out a long sigh.

It is indeed nerve-wracking.

After all, such a weird case happened just after he took over as magistrate. It would probably spread all over the city and outside the city, and even spread to neighboring counties within two days.

If the case cannot be solved for a long time, the people will inevitably panic and complain.

This will not only affect his reputation, but also cause dissatisfaction above.If the situation further escalates, the position of the county magistrate who has just become a full-time official may be a little hanging.

After a while, Wu Zuo came forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, this matter is probably a bit strange.

Judging from the villain's many years of experience, most of the couple, including those domestic animals, did not die at the hands of normal people. "

"Then what do you think it is?"

"Either it's some strange people in the world, or it's a ghost or something."

"Why do you think so?" Nie Hongshu subconsciously asked.

"The villain judged from the wound and the blood. Under normal circumstances, if you take out the heart, you will definitely bleed a lot.

However, whether it was the deceased or the livestock in the yard, the amount of bleeding was not large.

And the wound is also very strange, it doesn't look like a sharp knife."

Gu Ming deeply agreed with what Wu Zuo said.

In fact, after receiving the system task, he guessed that the real culprit behind the scenes was either a ghost or a stranger.

If it is done by ordinary people, the system will generally not issue tasks.

"Report to my lord, no useful clues were found nearby!"

"My lord, according to the investigation of my subordinates, Zhu Dachang and his wife were supposed to be sleeping in the room and were forcibly dragged out, or they might have been coerced into the courtyard and then killed."

"Well, record these situations first."

A group of police officers searched separately for a while, but indeed they couldn't find any suspicious clues.

"Okay, leave two people to guard the scene. The others will go to Ding's farm quickly with me."

Dingjiachang is not far from Taiping Town, only a dozen miles away, and it is only a small-scale rural farm.

When I arrived at the scene, the situation was almost exactly the same.

The deceased was also a couple, and the livestock in the yard also died violently. The cause and manner of death were almost exactly the same.

Judging from Wu Zuo's experience, the couple died first, around midnight.

But Zhu Dachang and his wife will spend one or two hours at night, which should be close to the cock crowing time.

From this, it can almost be concluded that the murderer is the same person, who first committed the crime in Dingjiachang and then went to Taiping Town.

On the way back, Gu Ming couldn't help but whispered to Nie Hongshu: "My lord, in my opinion, it's better to call a group of squires and let them secretly send people to help monitor suspicious persons.

The county government also sent people to control them separately. Once they found something, they would send a letter and report it immediately. "

"Well, this method is very good!"

Nie Hongshu nodded.

At present, he can't come up with a better plan, so he can only use this method of waiting for a rabbit to deploy and control.

In the morning of the next day, another person came to report the case, saying that a similar strange case had occurred in Lujiatan in the western suburbs of the city.

The dead this time belonged to a wealthy family named Lu, and all three members of the family lost their lives.

PS: Can I borrow a few words?Anyway, it’s a free period now, so it’s not considered cheating money emmmmmmm

This book starts from the background of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", but the plot is not limited to the movie, it is a big world including the original works of Liaozhai.

The plot will unfold slowly and become more and more exciting

Regarding the protagonist's level, it is currently tentatively determined as: Xiaobai, Companion Shutong, Senior Shutong, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Gongsheng, Juren, Jieyuan, Gongshi, Huiyuan, Jinshi, Tanhua, Second Place, Number One Scholar, Servant, University Scholars, Saint , Qu Xing

If you have any objections to the level or have good suggestions, please leave a message

Since the title of the book is to write a novel, the protagonist will definitely become a generation of tycoons, even saints.

As for the protagonist's way of fighting, the main thing is to use one mouth to speak out, and the brush to draw a dragon with the left hand and a rainbow with the right?

It is envisaged that in the middle and late stages, the use of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will be gradually added to defend against the enemy.For example, the sound of the piano hurts the enemy, and drawing a picture can bring the monster into the picture.

This setting is only an auxiliary skill, and it will not be too complicated, so you don't have to worry about crashing

Similarly, if you have any comments and suggestions on this setting, please leave a message

In addition, it should be explained that the protagonist does not travel through the heavens, and there is only one big world, which is the world of Liaozhai.

But some characters from the heavens will come to the big world, such as Bai Suzhen.

Of course, there are occasional copies of the small world, but it is not time travel, but the world in the painting.

Similar to entering a world like "Painted Walls"

More assumptions or settings will not be spoiled, and it will become an outline.In short, if the grades are acceptable, the number of words in this book should not be less

The last point is that if you update thousands of words every day, there will inevitably be some ill-considered places, which are what some book friends call poisonous points
