Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Several corpses were only partly festered. Zhan Zhao picked the nearest one. It was a man in his 40s and [-]s. On the surface, he didn't have any wounds, and his face was very peaceful, with a smile on his face, as if he had been hypnotized to death in his sleep. Same.

The silver stick was inserted into the severed arm, which was done during the autopsy. The bones were completely blackened. The prefect also said that the nails and hair had been seen before, and there were no questions or clues.

Zhan Zhao put down his silver stick and was about to leave. When he raised his leg, he found a black worm on his boots, the size of a fingernail. If he was not moving slowly, it would almost be one with the cloth.

Thinking that if the bug hadn't been discovered by himself now, it would probably follow the shoe all the way up, Zhan Zhao felt a chill when he didn't know where to crawl.

Grabbing the worms through the cloth, Zhan Zhao began to search the house. There were only three corpses and the table where the corpses were placed. However, there was nothing wrong with the corpses and the table, and there were half-dead weeds on the ground. Something else.

While thinking, Zhan Zhao noticed that the hair of a corpse seemed to be moving.

"Ok?"

Subconsciously told him that maybe the bug was hiding under the hair.Picking up the silver stick again, Zhan Zhao walked to the head of the corpse, and gently brushed away the hair. Sure enough, the naked eye could see hundreds of black insects hiding underneath, densely packed, with white liquid still flowing from the insect shells.With a palm under the table, the corpse turned over, Zhan Zhao was unprepared, seeing the scene in front of him, his stomach rolled in an instant.

"vomit!"

Bai Yutang was sitting on a tree branch and dozed off, when he heard the wooden door of the morgue being opened, when he saw it, Zhan Zhao rushed to the distance with lightning speed, vomited.

The lead guard saw Zhan Zhao coming out, and was about to ask, when he saw him running past, blinked again, and saw Zhan Zhao vomiting violently in the woods tens of meters away.

"Master Zhan! Master Zhan, water! Water!"

The guard hurried over to bring water, and Bai Yutang was already helping to pat his back.

"Drink a few sips, Zhan Xiaozhao, what did you see?"

Bai Yutang took the water bag and handed it to Zhan Zhao's mouth.Zhan Zhao took his hand and drank a few times to rinse his mouth, still thinking about that scene in his mind.

"What is this?" Bai Yutang took the handkerchief from Zhan Zhao's hand. "Corpse bug?"

"You know this?" Zhan Zhao wiped the water from his mouth, "Under the corpse, there are many such insects." For the sake of Bai Yutang's stomach, Zhan Zhao wisely did not tell him about the situation in the morgue.

"Didn't I say that I've been to southern Yunnan, where someone raises this. You found this on the corpse? Could it be the poison of the five poisons?"

Bai Yutang searched carefully for the dead worm, "This should be just born by the old worm. This worm is very evil. I heard that it gave birth naturally after using some kind of medicine. After leaving, within a moment, Immediate death."

"The five poisons are far away from Xiangzhou, and they are not crooked. It stands to reason that they poisoned hundreds of people." Zhan Zhao shook his head. He was not closely related to martial arts, but Tang Yu had a good reputation in the Central Plains. It is impossible to allow believers to use such insane things to kill people.

"The five poisons once gave my master a kind of sound transmission Gu. No matter how far it is, you can receive it as long as you open it. Master later gave it to me. When we go back, I will transmit the sound to Tang Yu and the others. In short, whether it is or not What they did, this matter must have something to do with the five poisons."

Bai Yutang threw away the bug and used the remaining water to wash away the strange smell from his hands.

The sun was very strong at noon, Zhan Zhao planned to go back to the mansion first, and let the guards bury those corpses.Just as he was about to leave the woods, a light flashed in front of Bai Yutang's eyes.

"how?"

Seeing Bai Yutang suddenly close his eyes, Zhan Zhao asked.

"Just now a ray of light came from over there, and it happened to hit my eyes." Bai Yutang pointed to the depths of the forest.

Zhan Zhao looked up, and saw a few beams of sunlight scattered under the cover of the leaves, falling on the knee-length weeds, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"I'll go over and have a look." Zhan Zhao stepped on the weeds on both sides, not wanting to let go of any clues.

"Look at this?" Zhan Zhao found a dart from the bottom of the tree trunk, and gave it to Bai Yutang behind him.

"This is?"

Bai Yutang took it, the dart was about one finger long and made of iron, with dark red dye inlaid on the surface, and there were no other marks on it.

"It hasn't been poisoned." Zhan Zhao checked the tree trunk hit by the dart, except for a mark, everything else was normal.

"This Jinshui Town is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The corpse-eating insects unique to the Five Poisons, and the darts of unknown sects, have been involved from the Central Plains to southern Yunnan. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a family that purposely hid in the mountains to thrive. "

Bai Yutang pinched the bottom of the dart and twirled it between his fingers.

"The strange thing is that there is no incident about Jinshui Town in the martial arts, and there is no mention of any sects that have been hidden in the past hundred years. Go first, go back to the Yamen, wait for Mr. Gongsun to come, and start with the ancient books of the round tower."

Zhan Zhao felt that he had checked all the clues that could be found in this place, and Tang Yu was the only one left to investigate the rest.

When he was about to lift his legs to leave, he saw the dart in Bai Yutang's hand. Zhan Zhao raised his hand and snatched it away, stuffed it into his belt, and said, "No matter whether this kind of hidden weapon is poisonous or not, don't play with it casually."

"Hey, hey, I know~" Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao, and suddenly thought, "? Cat, are you worried about me?"

"........."

Zhan Zhao paused, as if he wanted to say something, but felt that something was wrong, so he started to walk in a muffled voice.

The guards over there had already buried the corpse in place, and the morgue was directly knocked down, and the ground was incompletely covered with thatch.Zhan Zhao looked at their disheveled faces, and guessed that he had been vomited in disgust just like himself.

"Master Zhan, it's been dealt with here, brothers, do you just need to guard the town now?" The collar guard stepped forward and asked, they stayed in this place for several days, spent the whole day smelling corpses, and even ate food If you don’t go down, you’re afraid you’ll throw up after eating.

"Okay, Shaoxia Bai and I will go down the mountain first. Mr. Sun Ce, the Duke of Kaifeng Mansion, will come over in five days. You just need to guard the round tower before he comes."

"Then I'll wait here for Master Gongsun to come! Master Zhan, you've worked hard!"

The guard bowed his hands to Zhan Zhao.

"Hard."

After that, he took Bai Yutang down the mountain and returned to the yamen.

The master has been waiting for them to come back in the living room.Zhan Zhao chatted with Bai Yutang while entering the door. Before the sword was put away, Master Lou stepped forward and said, "Master Zhan has worked hard for you, young hero! My lord has specially reserved a box in the VIP building, and together with a few friends, we are going to invite you You two have dinner."

"No! Master, please tell the mansion that Zhanmou today..."

"Master Zhan, don't be too busy to decline." Master Lou interrupted Zhan Zhao, "No matter how busy the case is, it doesn't matter as much as your body. Inspector Liu has already told you to pass the carrier pigeon in the morning. There is nothing wrong with you these days, so why bother Mr. Zhan?" It's a hard refusal, isn't it?"

"It's really not Zhan's refusal, but..."

"Master Zhan just refuses... don't say too much, don't say too much!" Seeing that Zhan Zhao was about to explain, Master Lou raised his hand and made an interrupting gesture.

"The morning of the magistrate has passed, and I will ask the maid to come to the room to invite the two of you to go! That's it, Master Zhan, Shaoxia Bai, I will leave first!"

"Hey……"

Zhan Zhao didn't expect Master Lou to be so talkative, it seemed that he had to go to this meal even if he didn't.

"Mao'er, the magistrate is not a scourge. According to me, give him a good first blow." Bai Yutang sat on the chair leisurely.

"No, I..." Zhan Zhao wanted to say, I just lost my appetite because of the Corpse Devourer's nausea, and even wanted to keep throwing up, but it's a pity that I didn't drag Bai Yutang in at that time.
