Because the county government office was haunted and two county magistrates died, the officials sent by the court to investigate the case did not live in the inn, but in the county government office, in order to better find out whether it was man-made or really haunted.

Gu Jingxi went to the guest room where Mr. Liu had stayed. Mr. Du's family consisted of a son and an old mother. The old mother was guarding the memories of her husband in her old house in the capital and did not want to follow him to his appointment, and his son did not come either. , so he came to take office alone and stayed in the room where the magistrate lived. The other rooms were unused. Mr. Liu died suddenly in the guest room before, and no one was living in that guest room after that. Now there is some dust in the room.

After entering the room, Gu Jingxi closed the door and looked around at the layout of the room. It was all the layout of an ordinary guest room. There was nothing much. The furniture was all old and had not been replaced with new ones.

But this is normal. The furniture in the county government office will not be replaced, but the bed tents and bedding will be replaced. If people have died, people have also died in the house. There are even more people who have died in the county jail cells. They cannot be replaced at all. If you mind, the next county magistrate comes and you can pay for them yourself, just like Mr. Du's room. If you don't have a bed in the house, you'll have to pay for it to get a new one.

Gu Jingxi didn't miss any corner. He checked the floor tiles to see which one was suspicious. He even looked under the bed carefully, but didn't see anything. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a symbol carved on the door. The symbol is in the shape of an arrow, with the arrow pointing upward. The arrow is deliberately thicker, and there are three arrows stacked up and down.

This symbol is not big, about the length of a little finger, and is engraved on the door. When you open or close the door from the house, you will see this symbol if you look forward. However, ordinary people will ignore this inconspicuous small symbol unless they see it. Those who have rich experience in handling cases are used to carefully investigating the scene, only then can they notice and figure out what it means.

However, the symbol does not look old and could not have been carved for more than a year.

In the lightning room, Gu Jingxi felt as if he had seen this symbol somewhere. After thinking for a while, he quickly left the guest room and went to Master Du's room. He opened the door and then closed it. Sure enough, he saw the same symbol as the one in the guest room.

Gu Jingxi's eyes were fixed, and his intuition told him what this meant. Thinking of what A Yao said, he pondered for a moment, followed the direction of the arrow, slowly raised his head and looked up. There was no mark on the door, and above it was There is nothing on the wall, and if you look up, you can see the beams.

He whispered softly: "Roof beam?"

Gu Jingxi looked at the beams above his head, and then glanced at the tables and chairs next to him. People who didn't know martial arts couldn't reach the beams without using other tools, but with the help of tables and chairs stacked up, people could stand on the chairs and reach out. Get the rafters.

Gu Jingxi jumped up, grasped the beam firmly with his hands, and glanced at the beam. When he saw the thing on the beam, his eyes lit up and his heart became happy. He had a strong feeling that this thing would be harmful to him. It was useful for investigating the case, and it contained the answers he wanted.

It was something wrapped in oil paper. It was square and slightly larger than a palm. It was not thick but very thin. It looked like a letter. It was wrapped in oil paper to prevent insects from being eaten. There was half a jade pendant pressed on it. With.

He took off the things wrapped in oil paper and the jade pendant, then jumped to the ground. He left Mr. Du's guest room for the time being, and went to the guest room again to check the beams of the guest room. There were half of the things wrapped in oil paper on them. The jade pendant pressed down.

He took off the things and returned to the guest room where he and A Yao lived.

Meng Jinyao saw that his clothes were stained with dust. The light blue robe was obviously stained with dust, and even the spider webs on his hair were stained from unknown places. She was surprised and said: "Husband, how did you do this to yourself?" Like this?"

Gu Jingxi coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment: "It's nothing, I just got under the bed once."

"Under the drilling machine?" Meng Jinyao suddenly widened her eyes, looked at him in disbelief, and looked him up and down, "What are you doing under the drilling machine?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Looking for something, although I didn't find it, I found it somewhere else."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was very shocked: "Look, found it?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and wanted to hug her, but he was dirty, so he said softly: "It was A Yao who was smart and reminded my husband, so I could find her. If A Yao hadn't reminded me, my husband would have ignored a detail."

Meng Jinyao was happy to be able to help him and smiled: "You have to be careful to discover that." After saying that, she stood up on tiptoes and reached out to help him remove the spider web on his head.

Gu Jingxi quickly took a step back and saw her looking at him blankly, and then explained: "I'm dirty, don't touch it. I'll change my clothes later and freshen up."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao had no choice but to give up.

Gu Jingxi sat down and took out two half-pieces of jade pendants and placed them on the table. The two pieces were put together just enough to form one piece. They were deliberately broken in half by the owner of the jade pendants. However, the fracture of the jade pendants was incomplete, probably because they were dropped. Broken, no fragments were left, only these two pieces were left.

When the jade pendant is put together, you can see the characters engraved on it. Although there is a gap in the middle, you can still tell what the characters are.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the words on the jade pendant and asked, "Husband, whose jade pendant is this?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "The first two county magistrates, Mr. Sun and Mr. Chen, do not have the word "cloud" in their names. Only Mr. Liu does. Mr. Liu's surname is Liu and his last name is Yunhe. This jade pendant should belong to Mr. Liu."

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Is this Master Liu's jade pendant?"

"I guess so."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly, took out two envelope-like things wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and put them on the table. He said, "These were found on the beams of my cousin's uncle's room and the beams of the room where Mr. Liu lived." 's, each pressed with half a piece of jade pendant."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao raised her eyes and looked at him with confusion: "Husband, why do you think of going up to the beam to look for it? If it's not on the beam, wouldn't you have to dig three feet into the ground?"

"It's not enough to dig three feet into the ground." Gu Jingxi shook his head and laughed, then added, "After listening to A Yao's words, I thought that Mr. Liu was unwilling to be killed and might leave some clues where he lived for others to discover. So I went to the room where Mr. Liu lived and found signs with instructions on the door. I followed the instructions and found these."

Meng Jinyao said: "Husband, open it first and see what's inside."

Gu Jingxi first opened the things he found in the room where Mr. Liu lived, opened the oil paper, and found a letter wrapped inside. He opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, unfolded the letter paper and read the contents of the letter. There were only a few crosses on the letter. But it contains important clues.

I saw it written above:

By the time you read the letter, I had been harmed by an adulterer.

There are no ghosts in the county government, but traitors.

The death of Sun Chen was related to Wei.

Yunhe's masterpiece.
