When the protagonist is connected with the villain fate

The light in the morning skims over the top of Xishan Mountain, and from Fuchuan County far away, you can see the peak among the mist and clouds.

When they arrived at the county government office, they were warmly received as a matter of course. The county magistrate Nie Yong was a middle-aged man who looked very thin, his hair was almost half white, and the official robe was a bit fat on his body, which made him even thinner.

Such a person would definitely not be easy to see where to go, but this person's demeanor was indifferent, and even when facing the three monks, there was no wavering in his eyes.

Nie Yong already knew the purpose of the three of them, so he sent someone to call Wu Zuo and witnesses, and Wu Zuo bowed to the three of them.

"Of the seven dead, four were burned to death, one was salvaged from the water, and the other two died of heart disease."

Bai Ruo stroked her fingertips, heart disease and death in the water seemed to be haunted by ghosts, but this fire... isn't ghosts also afraid of fire?

Then the witness also took two steps forward. He was the watchman who was on the watch the night before, and when the deceased Wang Li died the night before, he was the official who reported to him first.

When the watchman thought of that scene, he felt chills in his heart, and recalled with a pale face: "I was on duty the night before, and when I walked to the inner alley, I heard someone calling for help, and I passed by immediately, but I didn't expect it. Cook Wang was on fire all over his body, and I was about to find someone, but he...he fell on the ground and died, I was scared, so I hurried to report to the police."

Yu Nanyi stared at the watchman: "One moment he could call for help, but the next moment he died. Even if his body was on fire, he couldn't die so quickly, right?"

The watchman was even more frightened by him, glanced at his face carefully, and said anxiously: "Sir, what the little one said is true, that's how the Wang chef really died, from the time I heard the voice to It took less than a quarter of an hour to find someone, the family is here, even the ancestral graves are here, how could I lie to you!"

Nie Yong glanced at the expressions of several people, and waved at the watchman and Wu Zuo: "You guys go down first."

When the two retreated tremblingly, Nie Yongcai looked at the few people: "This is the situation. The county has not been peaceful in the past half a month. Even if I am a county magistrate, I am still a mortal. I just reported to the city lord yesterday. Today And here you are."

This matter is really strange, it doesn't look like what ordinary people did, Muzi smiled and nodded to Nie Yong: "Master Nie, don't worry, we will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible, Taiping City was originally protected by Xi Shan, if something like this happens, we will It is my duty to wait for disciple Xishan, but I hope you will pay more attention and let us know immediately if you have any clues."

Nie Yong's brows relaxed a little: "I am incompetent, I am ashamed, I would like to thank the three elders for the people in this county."

The few people in the county government didn't get any clues, but they got the list of the dead and the sorted files. It was the first time for Mu Zixiao to do this kind of investigation, and he didn't know what to do with the files for a while.

Bai Ruo took the file and checked it carefully, but the people who died had nothing to do with each other, a farmer farming, a woman selling buns on the north side of the street, a cook in a restaurant, an old man who went out for a walk for nothing...

The only connection is that they both live in Bucheon County.

"It seems completely irregular, how do we find it?" Muzi frowned with a smile: "This thing is so fierce, if we don't find it quickly, I don't know how many people will die."

Bai Ruo put the file back in his hand, and said lightly: "Whether there is any contact, we have to check carefully to find out."

Yu Nanyi knew that he had an idea in his mind, and looked sideways at him: "Where do we start?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yu Nanyi really understood what he meant at this time. Although Bai Ruo still remembered what happened last night, he still answered, pointing to the name of the first deceased.

"Naturally start from the first one."

The first deceased was named Feng Chao, an honest farmer who lived in Shuimo Village not far from Li County.

The three of them went immediately. There was only one younger sister in Feng Chao's family, and she was kneeling in the mourning hall in the village, staring blankly at the coffin.

Although Feng Chao is a farmer, he is not in good health, and he is still a lame man. The brother and sister depend on each other for life, and they were unable to marry a wife until their death. His parents left early, and he spent a lot of energy to bring up his sister. Just a little better, and the people are gone.

Feng Ling's face was expressionless, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was unpainted, and even her hair was loose. Muzi smiled and put incense on Feng Chao first, and then turned to look at her.

However, he didn't know how to ask, Bai Ruo thought he was slow, so he opened his mouth first: "Miss Feng, can you take a step to talk."

He glanced at Feng Chao's coffin, Feng Ling regained consciousness and nodded.

Hearing that several people were here to investigate the case, Feng Ling's eyes became a little angry, and she firmly grabbed Bai Ruo's hand and stared at him: "My brother died in vain, Immortal Elder, I beg you, my brother died in vain , His body has clearly recovered..."

After speaking, Feng Ling knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the three of them one by one. Yu Nanyi's eyes moved slightly, and he pulled her away calmly, separating her between the two.

"If I ask you something, you answer it honestly."

Yu Nanyi's actions were rude and his tone was not good. Muzi smiled and felt that Feng Ling was very pitiful, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "We are just investigating the case, you just tell what you know."

Feng Ling nodded, immediately forced back her tears, and tried her best to stand still: "Just ask the fairy."

Bai Ruo looked strangely at Yu Nanyi who was blocking him tightly in front of him, and tried his best to grab his arm and poked his head out: "The day your brother had an accident, were you at home?"

Yu Nanyi blinked, staring at Bai Ruo holding his hand, feeling a lot more at ease inexplicably.

Probably the saddest moment has passed, Feng Ling barely held back the grief in her heart: "Not here, I went to the county to do embroidery for others that day, and when I came back... I saw my brother lying at the gate of the courtyard."

Feng Chao died of a heart attack. Generally speaking, it can be said that he was frightened to death. If it is not artificial, it is likely that he saw some terrible scenes.

But since that thing can make fire burn people to death, why are there three people who died in different ways?

Bai Ruo thought for a moment, then asked again: "Then, did your brother do anything unusual before he was alive?"

Feng Ling thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "My brother is kind by nature and never complains to others."

This is even more strange. A mortal, who has never complained to others or experienced abnormalities, is scared to death alive. Could it be that the ghost really has no logic and kills people randomly?

This is definitely the worst case scenario, which means they can only trace the thing when it does evil.

Bai Ruo asked her a few more questions before letting her go back, and the three of them continued to investigate the next house.

The second deceased was an elderly gentleman. He had taught in the county for many years and was over [-] years old before his death. At this moment, many students from his family came to express their condolences.

Mr. Cheng had no children in his life, but those who came to wear sackcloth and filial piety knelt down a large area, and there were still people kneeling outside the gate.

These are all Mr. Cheng's students, and the funeral was organized by these students together. Mr. Cheng didn't save any savings when he was old. This looks quite a grand house, and it was also bought by one of the wealthy students in his family.

This person lived a decent life all his life, but he suffered such a disaster when he was old, which is embarrassing.

Muzixiao also met old Mr. Cheng once, and the three of them saw the old man's body, and then asked a few students to ask.

Naturally, Bai Ruo would still do the questioning.

"Did Mr. Cheng offend anyone, or did any strange things happen?"

A student sighed and said: "Mr. has a bad temper. To be honest, there are many people who have committed crimes. There are people from all walks of life, rich and powerful people. It is hard to predict the next time, but if necessary, we will try our best to sort it out. list."

Bai Ruo and Yu Nanyi looked at each other, and they both saw some doubts in each other's eyes.

Judging from the death of these two people, it doesn't look like a monster, but more like a ghost asking for their lives. However, Mr. Cheng and Feng Chao, one is kind and honest, and the other is not afraid of power. They have nothing to do with each other, but they are the same cause of death.

This matter is really strange.

The author has something to say: Yu Nanyi smiled triumphantly: You touched me again

Bai Ruo: Yes, I can still hit you

Yu Nanyi: The smile disappears immediately
