The villain's daily corpse collection

Hearing this shout, the people in the whole street were in an uproar. Some screamed and fled the place, while others pushed the crowded crowd, trying to find out what was going on.

Someone was killing someone in the street, and the victim was the head of a famous family in the city. This undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of countless passers-by, and the situation was out of control for a while.

The master and disciple were separated by the chaotic crowd. Wang Wei had no time to take care of anything else and went to the scene of the incident alone. The crowd kept pushing her in the opposite direction.

Wang Wei frowned and looked a little anxious. She thought it should not be difficult to use magic to solve the problem, but unexpectedly, a pair of hands in the crowd grabbed her sleeve and interrupted her spell.

"Mo Wei, why are you here? It's too dangerous, come to me quickly."

It’s Shi Yao.

While Wang Wei was still hesitating, she was pushed to another place by the turbulent flow of the crowd, and her sleeve slipped out of Shi Yao's palm. Somehow, she was pushed to the front of the place where the incident happened, and finally saw the truth of the matter.

Rong Fei fell face down on the ground, blood gradually spread from under her body along the gaps between the floor tiles at an alarming rate.

Wang Wei looked calm, and pushed aside the people blocking his way to check. Most of the onlookers dared to hide in the distance, fearing that they would be in trouble. Wang Wei turned the body over and took off the jade mask on her face. As expected, it was a delicate and unfamiliar face.

Not Rong Fei.

Wang Wei was certain that someone like Rong Fei would not die so easily. She cared so much about the family's honor and worldly affairs, so how could she be so careless and be killed in the street.

The moment she took off the mask, she seemed to become more interested in the whole thing.

"Are there any witnesses? Who was the first person to discover the body?" Wang Wei stood up and looked around. Everyone shook their heads and even took a few steps back. Someone dared to speak up and said that the person was already dead when he saw him, but he didn't know how he died, but it was none of his business.

Could the assassination just now have been done by Shi Yao? In public, the only one who could conceal it from everyone's eyes was his shadow guard.

Just like Zhou Yong who died in front of her before, without a sound or a trace. The shadow guard had a special aura, and she carefully searched around with her spiritual sense, but could not find any trace of the shadow guard's aura.

Could it be that she thought wrong?

She turned the body over and saw a deep wound on the neck. The clothes seemed to be newly made, with no signs of washing, and no wear and tear on the outside, which did not seem like an internal injury that had shattered the internal organs.

The scar on the neck looked like a fatal wound. Only when you looked closely could you see it clearly. The wound seemed to be cut by a thin thread, without any extra traces, clean and neat. But this time, the blood did not spurt out, but flowed slowly, falling from the cut of the wound like a gurgling stream.

The only string that appeared most frequently was the bowstring used to cut the raw stone. She picked up the bowstring on the table beside her and checked it, but the bowstring was not thin. If it was strangled around the neck, it would cause bruises and deep marks on the neck. Now it seemed that there was no weapon that could match the symptoms.

Wang Wei calmly glanced around, and everyone took a few steps back in fear.

"Give way! Give way, everyone!"

At this time, a group of yamen runners suddenly arrived, and the leader called a coroner to perform an autopsy. In the end, the conclusion was almost the same as what Wang Wei saw, there was no murder weapon at the scene, and no corresponding murderer could be found.

At this time, the officer in the lead, who was wearing a light blue official uniform, glanced around and discovered something. He walked towards Wang Wei and said, "Is this the immortal? We have seen him on the passenger boat."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was just loud enough for the onlookers who were stopped nearby to hear it. The murder incident was now a thing of the past, and everyone started whispering again as they talked about gods.

It turned out that this person was none other than the captain of the police, Xiang Jiu, whom he had met on the boat before, but now he had changed his attire.

"So it's Captain Xiang. I almost didn't recognize you when you were wearing this official uniform." Wang Wei nodded and greeted him.

"Hey! This is Deputy Inspector Xiang Jiu!" a bailiff at the side corrected him.

"Shi Saner, why are you meddling in other people's business! I agree with this title. What's the matter? Do you have any objection?" Xiang Jiu retorted, then turned around and looked at Wang Wei with a smile, "Since I did a great job in catching the thief last time, I was promoted to a lower position when I returned. Now I'm the deputy inspector." He smiled, looking simple and honest.

Back to the point, Xiang Jiu said bluntly: "How come the immortal came here to travel and started to interfere in the mundane affairs and solve the case?"

Wang Wei smiled and said, "It's not that I care, but the dead woman's attire is quite similar to someone I've seen before. I thought she was in trouble, so I took a closer look."

"Who do you think the deceased resembles?"

"Before, many people present thought she looked like the same person. Rong Fei, the second daughter of the Rong family and the head of the Rong family's business." Wang Wei paused, "However, I took off her mask and found that it was not her."

Xiang Jiu frowned. He just heard the reporter say that someone died in front of Rongbao Tower. He had just been notified of his duty and encountered a murder. Moreover, he never expected that the deceased was related to the Rong family, one of the two major jade families in Fangqiu City.

There are many issues involved, and it is extremely difficult. If not handled properly, not only will the position that was just promoted a few days ago be lost, but it is also likely to implicate oneself.

The bailiffs put down the stretcher and prepared to move the unclaimed body to the yamen for a detailed autopsy, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Wait, put that person down." A sharp female voice came from not far away.

Rong Fei and the Rong family's guards rushed over and the assassination rumors were self-defeating. So what was the relationship between the person who just died and Rong Fei?

Just as everyone was making wild guesses, Rong Fei spoke again: "She is my personal maid Yuan'er. I will take her back to the Rong family and bury her properly."

"But the case is not solved yet. How was the girl killed? Will the murderer commit murder again? These doubts have not been solved yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiang Jiu was dissatisfied with being interrupted at work, especially by these powerful nobles who were always bossing people around on weekdays.

"She was my maid. I know how she died. I should be the one to take her back." Rong Fei refused to give in.

No one would kill a maid for no reason. The murderer must want to kill Rong Fei himself. Then, who arranged this scapegoat maid who was dressed the same as the real one? Xiang Jiu thought of this and looked at Rong Fei with a bad look.

"Then tell me who the murderer is? How did she die? When we catch the murderer, you can do whatever you want with your maid. Now she is a piece of evidence and should be managed by our patrol inspection department." Xiang Jiu handled the case impartially and refused to compromise. The yamen runners beside him whispered to him, "Don't offend the Buddha," but he turned a deaf ear.

Rong Fei insisted: "This is my family affair. I will report it to the authorities after I handle it, but not now." She paused, "Also, my maid is a human being, not material evidence!"

"I thought Master Rong didn't think so." Xiang Jiu said coldly.

The two sides were in a tense situation and neither was willing to back down.

Wang Wei stood aside and interjected, "The Jade Banquet will be held here tomorrow. If something like this happens now, it will affect the banquet. Instead of being deadlocked here, you might as well go back and collect evidence to solve the case." She added, "The murder weapon in this case is very special. I took a look at the body and my initial guess is that it is a special kind of silk thread. The murderer who can kill people with such a silk thread is definitely not an ordinary person."

"I don't believe you. I'm going to take that person away now." Rong Fei said, biting his back teeth.

"Even if it's the Rong family, they can't hinder the government's investigation of the case!" Xiang Jiu was unwilling to be outdone. He didn't want to be a lackey of the powerful.

Wang Wei said in an inquiring tone, "Miss Fei, you should focus on tomorrow's banquet first. When it comes to investigating a case, everyone has their own expertise. You want to take him away so much, what are you trying to cover up? You seem to know a lot of things, why not tell Lord Xiang everything, and the case can be solved as soon as possible." She leaned close to Rong Fei's ear and said meaningfully, "The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to reveal flaws."

Rong Fei hesitated. She whispered to herself, as if to herself: "...will you believe me?"

Wang Wei seemed not to hear her words. She walked aside as if looking for someone.

At this moment, Shi Luo, the illegitimate son of the Shi family, rushed out from somewhere. He drew out a dagger in an instant and swung it towards Rong Fei. Rong Fei dodged hurriedly but was still attacked.

One, two... the knife chopped off the jade mask covering her face, and Rong Fei's face was exposed to everyone for the first time. The sudden assassination caught the guards off guard for a moment, and they hurriedly controlled the man.

Because of this sudden accident, everyone saw Rong Fei's true face. They were shocked and all showed more or less fear.

Rong Fei didn't react, she just felt her face was empty. She wore a mask all year round, her face was pale, but the scars were more profound. They twisted on her face like brown vines, making it impossible to ignore.

Shi Luo was like a mad dog at this time, cursing viciously: "You executioner, you heartless witch, why did you take the scepter of my Shi family, and you also bewitched my mother into a lunatic, saying crazy things all day long, you return the things to me!"

Shi Luo was stopped by Xiang Jiu and his runners, but his face was still ferocious and he refused to give in, as if he was possessed by a demon.

Wang Wei stood in front of Rong Fei without leaving any trace: "Second Young Master Shi, you are here too. I just saw Master Yao coming, but I didn't have time to greet him."

Unexpectedly, Shi Luo didn't buy it: "Don't interrupt! This is a matter between my Shi Rong family and mine, and it has nothing to do with you!"

He then said, "Someone said before that Rong Fei was a witch, but I didn't believe it. But when I saw her face today, she is really a witch!" When others heard him say this, they also echoed him.

"I've heard that the two girls of the Rong family are ugly. It's true that appearance reflects the heart."

"She is not a good person indeed. Look at how complacent she was before. She is just a woman. What's so great about her?"

"Yes, she is also a family with no descendants. The Shi family used to be equally powerful as the Rong family, but now their decline is definitely related to the Rong family."

Rong Fei took these words to heart. Although she showed no expression on her face, as if she was used to it, her body was already shaking uncontrollably.

"Boring. He was just injured a little. He is not a monster. He is just ignorant. The decline of the Shi family is the Shi family's own business. You care about the Shi family so much, will they give you a penny?" Wang Wei's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed to have magic. As soon as he finished speaking, the rustling of the crowd quieted down.

"Why are you so talkative, woman? My eldest brother treats you well, so don't be ungrateful and keep speaking for the Rong family!" Shi Luo was in a very manic state and bit everyone he saw.

Wang Wei gave him a cold look, and he shuddered all over and quickly lowered his head and shut up.

The Rong family's guards surrounded Rong Fei to avoid any danger. Wang Wei stood beside Rong Fei, and when Rong Fei looked up at her, he found that she looked normal, as if nothing had happened.

"I want to say..." Rong Fei opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a voice coming from a distance. That person was Shi Yao.

His expression was extremely serious: "Shi Luo! What are you doing? Don't you even listen to me?" He was wearing a plain long gown that fluttered slowly in the wind, and he was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. Naturally, everyone made way for him.

Shi Luo immediately took a half step back when he heard the scolding, his body trembling a little: "But brother, this woman finally showed up, she..."

Shi Yao raised his hand to interrupt: "Those rumors are nothing but hearsay, so don't spread them anymore. Tomorrow is the Jade Banquet hosted by our Shi and Rong families, so let's end today's disturbance here. Shi Luo, you must go back to the ancestral hall and receive your punishment now." Shi Luo's expression revealed a hint of fear, and was a little dazed.

Then, Shi Yao bowed to everyone and apologized, "The expenses of this street today will be counted on my Shi family's account, which can be regarded as making up for everyone's experience."

Everyone was amazed and praised and thanked him. Looking at the stalls that had been put away, they all regretted not buying a few more stones to take a gamble, after all, the head of the Shi family would reimburse them.

Shi Yao walked towards Rong Fei, but was stopped by Rong Fei's guards. He was not angry, but just apologized: "My nominal wife, Miss Rong, I didn't come here to ask you for the Shi family's things today. What Shi Luo did today was the fault of my poor teaching. When I go back, I will punish him according to the family rules and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Rong Fei was now curled up in her large outer robe, holding back all the words she was about to say. She stood behind the guard, lowering her eyes and not looking at him.

Shi Yao knew that she didn't want to pay attention to him, and he didn't mind, just bowed slightly to express his apology. In fact, he had long been accustomed to it. After getting married, the two of them had hardly talked face to face for a few times.

Xiang Jiu cleared his throat: "Everyone, this is over, we will take Miss Yuan'er's body back first, and please ask Mr. Rong to come with us, there are some things that need to be made clear." Rong Fei did not resist this time, and left surrounded by the guards, but he looked back before leaving.

The focus has shifted, the streets have been cleared, there is no more excitement to watch, and everything has gradually returned to calm.

"Mo Wei." Shi Yao called her, "Would you like to come to my house later? I haven't seen you in the past two days."

"I have something else to do. See you later." Wang Wei smiled slightly, turned around and left.

Shi Yao was left alone standing there with an unclear expression.
