"Check, keep checking! Let me tell you, if I can't be the city lord, don't you think about it too!"

The angry face of the city lord can scare young children to death.

Lord Zhifu just nodded...

"Wait!" The city lord raised his hand.

"what?"

The prefect looked at the city lord.

The city lord ignored him and called the steward to bring the letter just now.

"Adept at solving cases, he has solved cases of kappa, water ghost, ghost baby, people hanging themselves in Gujing Town..." the city lord murmured.

There was a long silence.

He raised his head and ordered the housekeeper, "Please come in."

Lu Bai was quickly led into the City Lord's Mansion.

After passing through the veranda, rockery, and pond, we came to a small single-family building.

The small building is on the edge of a forest.

In the forest, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there are occasional deer.

Stepping into the small building, Lu Bai saw an adult sitting next to him with a sluggish expression, and the city lord sitting at the head, holding his recommendation letter in his hand.

Lu Bai squeezed his fist and successfully took the first step!

Three days!

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bai didn't believe Liu Qianhu's words.

The smuggling of salt in Yongle City was a temporary cooperation between Jin Yiwei and the admiral.

We will part ways when we go back.

They would not reveal their hole cards to Lu Bai.

It's different now.

If Lu Bai got the way of the city lord, it would be easy to do private salt business.

The city lord raised his head to measure Lu Bai, frowning.

He didn't expect Lu Bai to be so young, and the idea that he might give it a try just now was instantly pressed into his stomach.

However, after the bonfire was extinguished, only the ashes of the ashes remained—as the general banner at a young age, there may be two brushes.

"The letter said that you have a way of solving crimes." The city owner looked at him leisurely.

Lu Bai raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Well, a case?"

He glanced at the dispirited adult again, and his feet had just been cleaned, but the water stains were still there.

He nodded his head, full of confidence, "The humble staff has repeatedly solved strange cases in Yancheng, and I have won many difficult cases in the hands of the prefect of Lu."

"Small tone."

The city lord threw the letter aside, "Yongle City is no better than Yancheng, and I don't like the trick of beating and beating."

Lu Bai chuckled, "I've never been beaten into a trick."

In order to convince the city lord to believe him, Lu Bai brought up the kidnapping case he had solved before he came.

As far as he knew, that group of people went from Yongle City.

The city owner was puzzled and asked the prefect next to him.

The magistrate knew about several kidnapping cases in the city, and all the ransoms were paid in exchange for the children, but the cases have not been solved for a long time.

The city lord couldn't help giving Lu Bai a high look.

"I already know why you came."

The city lord took a sip of tea, "I have a case, if you solve it, I will inform them, if you can't solve it..."

He didn't say it.

it is more than words.

The city lord asked Lu Bai to go with the magistrate, and let him explain the case and assist Lu Bai in investigating the case.

Lu Bai and the magistrate came out of the city lord's mansion.

The magistrate forced a smile, and said rather than crying, "General Lu, you came at the right time."

The word "true" is very heavy.

For a moment, Lu Bai felt that he was talking ironically.

"This case has already been widely circulated in the city." The two got into the magistrate's carriage and walked eastward slowly.

About half a month ago, there was a murder case in Yongle City, and the dead were all beheaded without exception.

The head was missing.

The murderer came and went without a trace, and there was no trace of him.

At first, the deceased were ordinary people, but later they involved merchants, dignitaries and dignitaries.

Later, Jin Yiwei also had someone beheaded.

"To tell you the truth, the maids of the City Lord's Mansion, the virgin concubines of the Master of the West Factory, and the misfortune of the Master of the East Factory, their heads were also cut off silently."

The magistrate counted with his fingers, and now there are about a hundred people whose heads have been moved.

The mayor is under a lot of pressure.

The common people are fine, but the heads of officials, Jinyiwei, and factory guards have been chopped off repeatedly. If this case is not solved quickly, it will spread to the capital...

The city lord's appointment will not last long.

"Bang! Bang!"

The car stopped, and there was a sound of wooden fish in front.

"To do all the Buddhas in the past; to do all the future Buddhas; to do all the Buddhas in the present; to do everything well, to do everything..."

Lu Bai raised the curtain, and saw a row of monks in front of him, dressed in gray monk clothes, knocking on wooden fish, walking along the road.

From time to time, there are people giving alms by the roadside.

There are also people who exchange talisman papers from monks to pray for peace.

"Monks from Yongle Temple." The magistrate lowered the curtain.

The abbot of Yongle Temple, Master Pujian, is a master of practice, picking leaves to exorcise demons, picking flowers to exorcise demons, and the people in the city love him very much.

Incidentally, in troubled times, the charms of Yongle Temple also became their trustworthy amulets.

"... Yongle Ankang!"

The monks finally said "Amitabha" in unison, and went to the distance.

"This case is obviously the work of a monster, why didn't you ask Master Pujian to get rid of the monster?" Lu Bai asked.

The magistrate smiled wryly when he heard the words, "There is no shortage of masters who can eliminate demons."

In Yongle City, there are more than two slaps in the hands of masters who have entered the realm of cultivation, but these people are devoted to cultivation and will not help solve the case.

"If you know what the monster is doing and where it lives, these cultivators will take action." The magistrate said.

Lu Bai nodded.

It is true.

People in the cultivation realm can eliminate demons, but it is difficult for people to solve crimes.

Lu Bai and the magistrate returned to the Yamen.

The magistrate asked the clerk to move out all the case files related to the case and put them in Lu Bai's temporary office.

Almost drowned Lu Bai.

These cases have no rules to follow, so the case files are arranged according to time without too many rules.

Lu Bai took a few files by hand, glanced at them, and saw that the contents were similar, it was nothing more than a certain day, month and year, when a certain deceased was found to have had his head cut off.

The following is the content that Wu filled out during the autopsy:

The head was cut off with a sharp blade, the skin and flesh on the neck wound were constricted, and there were blood stasis all around. It was the head cut in a dream before death.

Lu Bai dropped the file and rubbed his forehead, feeling very depressed.

The magistrate was right, he came at the right time.

Such nonsensical, aimless, and irregular cases, to find out the murderer, and the murderer is a monster, is simply as difficult as heaven.

What's more difficult is that the heads of all the corpses cannot be found.

"Not really."

The scribe who was helping at the side answered.

At the beginning of the case, the magistrate's yamen offered a reward of a hundred silver to find the head of the corpse. A man named Wang Er brought a head.

"It was later found out that the owner of this head was Wang Erzhong's sick mother."

He exchanged his mother's head for the 100 taels of silver.

"Ho."

Lu Bai didn't expect there to be such a crazy person, "Where is Wang Er now?"

If the keyboard warrior in the previous life fought a war, this guy is definitely an Italian cannon.

"died."

The clerk dug out Wang Er's file and handed it to Lu Bai.

Wang Er got 100 taels of silver, and before he could use up a penny, he was beheaded by a sharp knife and died.

Death is the same as most people.

Chapter 188

Wang Er is dead?

Undoubtedly stupid.

He thought that the policemen were all idiots, and they would pay money when they saw a head, regardless of whether it was the head of a corpse or not?

"Cough cough."

The scribe next to him was embarrassed.

At that time, the magistrate was under great pressure, and was eager to solve the case under the persecution of the city lord. When he saw this head, he thought it was the head of an old woman who thought the victim had beheaded.

The magistrate also reported this head as a major clue.

The city lord even praised the prefect verbally at that time.

However, when Wang Er died and his mother's body was found, the prefect knew that they had been murdered by Wang Er.

"Uh."

Lu Bai had nothing to say.

The clerk smoothed things over for the magistrate, "No one would have imagined that Wang Er would commit such a crime as killing his mother, which is not a son of man?"

Lu Bai nodded.

Under pressure, it is inevitable to do stupid things.

But Wang Eryi's death is not useless, but it provides Lu Bai with another way of thinking.

Bang, bang!

Lu Bai tapped lightly on the edge of the table with his fingers, thoughtful.
