Wang Cai did not respond immediately. He just glanced curiously at the door guarded by two officials.

The door of the wing room was not closed, and no one deliberately blocked Wang Cai's gaze.

So the king could clearly see what the room looked like.

However, just at this glance, Wang Cai suddenly felt like he was out of his mind.

I saw a floating corpse hanging on the dilapidated beams of the wing.

It might not be accurate to say that the corpse was a corpse. It was more like half a dry hollow frame than a corpse. Moreover, due to the high degree of decay and the passage of time, the hole frame and most of the corpse skeleton have receded from themselves.

They were scattered on the ground, turning into white bones one after another.

Wang Cai almost screamed after just one look.

However, Xu Tianyi hissed at him. He seemed to be signaling the king not to speak so as not to disturb others.

Only then did Wang think of his young lady and the timid female family members, so he nodded silently.

Naturally, Wang Cai was not in the mood to look at these things at the moment, so he just handed the umbrella to Lu Zhizhang. Lu Zhizhang wanted to refuse, but Wang Cai said, "Master Lu, this is our lady's wish, just accept it, otherwise There is no way for a villain to do business.”

Lu Zhizhang just sighed softly when he heard this. After thinking about it, he finally accepted the umbrella Wang Cai handed him.

Seeing that his mission was completed, Wang Cai left in a hurry.

Lu Zhizhang just placed the umbrella by the window sill, then walked in and asked in a low voice, "What's going on in this room?"

Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, the leader of the arrest only said, "Master Lu, the mummy hanging in this room looks at his ID card. He seems to be a student who came to Beijing to take the exam. Looking at the ID card, he is still a student from Huaitai Mountain City." Woolen cloth."

Hearing the arrester's words, Lu Zhizhang said expressionlessly, "How are you sure he is a student from Huatai Mountain City?"

After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, the catcher immediately took out a baggage, "This baggage is in the deceased's room. His baggage contains his identity information, so the villain guesses that the road guide in this baggage should be his proof."

Lu Zhizhang didn't speak when he heard this. He just silently turned over the man's baggage.

Fang Minglang, male, is tall and thin, about eight feet tall. People from Huaitai Mountain City came to the capital today to take part in the Qiu Wei Examination.

In addition, it seemed that as long as Lu Zhizhang opened it further, he could only see a few clothes inside besides the letters.

After seeing this, Lu Zhizhang only asked, "Have you searched other places in this room? Look through these places as well."

However, facing Lu Zhizhang's order, the head catcher immediately said, "Master Lu, we have gone through all the places. There are no other traces in this room. And there is no one else."

However, after the head catcher said this, he only continued, "But I see his traces, and the villain is thinking that he may not have killed himself, but committed suicide."

When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he turned around and glanced at the head catcher, "What basis do you have?"

Facing Lu Zhizhang's questioning, the catcher took out another letter from the drawer next to him. The letter was written as a desperate letter. The content in it roughly stated that he had lost his reputation again and had not bothered to go back. He couldn't face the elders of his family, so he chose to die here.

The letter's handwriting seemed to be relatively the same as the other handwriting in his bag.

However, just having such a desperate letter cannot completely prove that he committed suicide.

After Lu Zhizhang read the letter, he didn't speak for a long time. He just walked around the body several times.

After that, he just said to the people around him, "Hurry and check other houses. If you are sure that there are no such things in other places, we can meet again later."

Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the catcher said yes, and then the catcher went to other houses to check.

Lu Zhizhang, on the other hand, just silently began to observe the corpse. He even picked up a skeleton and observed it carefully.

The color of the bones was obviously somewhat black, and this blackness was from the inside out.

When Lu Zhizhang was observing the black corpse, the head catcher who didn't want to be sent out by him immediately ran back, "Sir, there are them in other rooms as well. Hurry up and have a look."

Hearing the screams of the head catcher, Lu Zhizhang only glanced at the main hall, and then he motioned for him to shut up.

Fortunately, the dark and heavy rain has not stopped at this moment, and the heavy rain washes away everything, so even if it is noisy here, the people in the main hall will not know what is going on here as long as they don't come out.

After Lu Zhizhang signaled the catcher to shut up, he finally stood up slowly.

He asked, "How many bodies were found?"

The catcher held out a finger.

Lu Zhizhang only said, "Is there another one?"

The catcher nodded.

Lu Zhizhang then followed the head catcher and walked in.

This body was actually hidden very secretly. He was buried under the bedside next to him. If small animals such as wild cats and dogs hadn't broken in and pulled out the ring of hair, maybe the body would have been about There is no chance of seeing the light of day again.

In order not to damage the scene, people just chose to lift the big bed directly.

Then people could clearly see the mud filling under the bed, and when they pulled away the soil, a similarly badly decomposed corpse was revealed to the light of day.

The corpse this time was obviously completely different from the previous one. This corpse had obvious signs of cuts with a blunt knife.

And this time, the identity of the corpse seemed to be different from others. He was wearing a short coat, like a hard worker, and he didn't even leave an identity.

People searched around him but couldn't find anything that matched his identity.

"Master Lu, this man must have been killed. This must be a murder case?" the head catcher said again.

"But most of the laborers killed near here were from the western suburbs of the capital. I will go there to look for clues. Maybe I can find some clues."

When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he just nodded expressionlessly.

The rain seems to have lightened up now.

Naturally, Lu Zhizhang was not in the mood to dry his clothes anymore.

When he went out, Zhou Yaoniang also walked out and said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, what happened just now?"

Lu Zhizhang shook his head at Zhou Yaoniang, and then he didn't know what he thought of.

Lu Zhizhang suddenly said to Zhou Yaoniang, "Yaoniang, can you leave here first? The rain is about to stop. How about I ask the official to take you to Zhuque Street first?"

Although Zhou Yaoniang didn't know what happened, seeing Lu Zhizhang's solemn face, she still nodded.

But Xu Tianyi couldn't help but say, "We'll just wait here until the rain stops before leaving. This Yusheng, Yaoniang, you will catch the wind and cold if you get wet in the rain."

Zhou Yaoniang wanted to say it was okay, but Xu Tianyi had already said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, it shouldn't bother you if we wait here for the rain to stop, right? If you find anything and need our cooperation, you can just tell us .”

Lu Zhizhang didn't say anything when he heard Xu Tianyi's words. He just looked at Xu Tianyi silently, and then whispered, "Since you are afraid of getting caught in the rain, then wait until the rain stops, and we can cooperate with you. But after the rain stops, you must leave."

After hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, Zhou Yaoniang, who was sandwiched between the two, was a little embarrassed for a moment. She wanted to say something.

However, Xu Tianyi had already spoken so frankly to her, and it was hard for her to speak again.

Fortunately, the heavy rain came and went away quickly.

After they waited for a while, the heavy rain stopped completely and the dark clouds dispersed.

Looking at the bright sky, the group of them was ready to hit the road.

It's just that this is a muddy road.

So when walking forward, Xu Tianyi only suggested: "Yao Niang, let me carry you. The road is muddy and difficult to walk on. I'm afraid you will be stained with mud."

After hearing Xu Tianyi's suggestion, look at the muddy road again.

Yaoniang didn't struggle too much this time, she chose to cooperate with Xu Tianyi.

The two people who were walking in the mud soon left the temple.

On the other side, after Lu Zhizhang watched them leave, he also motioned for everyone to come to the Buddhist hall. Although the Buddhist hall was dilapidated, it had a large space.

In addition to a large Buddha statue placed here, there are only four King Kong placed around it.

The four Vajras glared angrily, and the colorful carving images were still lifelike. Library bar

However, the Buddha statue was already very mottled. The rain washed away the mottled Buddha statue, and the Buddha statue seemed to be crying.

After Lu Zhizhang came in, he only motioned for the arresters to search inside, while he himself just looked at the Buddha statue quietly.

From time to time, he looked at the opening on the top of the Buddha's head, and from time to time he looked at the top of the Buddha's head.

I don’t know how long he stared at it, but the catchers only said in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, the little guys have searched the hall inside and outside. We have not found any other corpses. Can we now?" Have you gone back to finalize the decision?"

However, regarding the arrester's words, Lu Zhizhang said expressionlessly, "No, you haven't completed the inspection yet."

The catchers glanced at Lu Zhizhang in confusion, "Is there anything else that you haven't checked yet?"

Lu Zhizhang didn't say anything, he stepped directly onto the altar.

Then he knocked the Buddha statue with his hand and said, "The Buddha statue is hollow, water can pour down from the top of the head, and the bricks and tiles were obviously removed deliberately. There must be something inside. If you don't believe it, you can arrange for someone to climb up and take a look." one look."

After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the catchers looked at each other, and then they arranged for a dexterous catcher to climb up to the roof according to Lu Zhizhang's instructions.

However, although the policeman came up, he was very careful along the way. After all, it was slippery in the rain, and there was a lot of moss growing on the bricks.

No matter how you look at this scene, there is a possibility that people will fall.

Fortunately, the catcher was careful enough and his hands and feet were really nimble, so after a while, he finally reached the top of the Buddha statue with a big hole in it.
