The deceased was Dong Ba.
The person who discovered the body was the store owner Wang Hou.
He passed by Dong Ba in the morning and found that there seemed to be a whistling sound in Dong Ba's room. He also felt a chill when he stood at the door. He was afraid that the windows in the room were not closed properly and the brazier went out, freezing the vicious official. He found an excuse to have a fit and gently pushed the door open and went in.
As a result, the windows in the room were wide open, and a body fell in the middle, bleeding heavily from the neck.
Dong Ba was confused.
His head is missing.
"ah--!!"
Then, Wang Hou looked at it stupidly for a moment and let out a shrill scream.
Di Jin recharged his energy, got up very quickly, walked out of the house and rushed to the scene almost immediately.
But he did not step in. Instead, he stood at the door, looked at the body first, and then looked at the room carefully.
"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" "Ah——!!!" "He's dead! The official is dead!"
In the process, the screams also disturbed other guests, and soon one by one the guests pushed the door open and screamed.
Not to mention them, even the officials who arrived turned pale and trembled with fear when they saw the tragic death of Dong Ba.
"I, Xue Chao, am still here, why are you panicking!"
In the end, a man with a big body and a round waist stood up and said, "Someone killed the imperial officers. I will seal the gate of the courtyard immediately. No one who stayed here last night will be let go!"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly changed their colors.
When you go out, what you fear most is unforeseen disasters. If an official is killed, or a military attaché escorting a prisoner is brutally murdered, this case is definitely not small. Once you are implicated, how can you deal with it?
Wang Hou was in a daze and did not answer. Xue Chao, the fat official, shouted angrily again: "Shopkeeper, are you deaf?"
"I heard... I heard... the murder of this official... has nothing to do with the shop!"
Wang Hou just woke up from a dream, his face full of sadness.
Of course he wasn't feeling bad for this annoying dead man, but such a change was enough to close his inn, and if he was implicated again, his whole family would even face jail time!
"Hmph! It doesn't matter, do you have the final say? Go!"
Xue Chao was equally domineering. He stretched out his hand and pushed, almost pushing Wang Hou to the ground. Then he shouted to the second-class officer You: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and search everyone's house and find Boss Dong?" head of!"
The onlookers dispersed upon hearing this, fearing that the murderer would throw the victim's head into his room and jump into the Yellow River to wash it away, so they hurried back to the room to check.
Di Jin has martial arts skills, and Di Xiangling is in the other room. Even if the murderer wants to blame others, he can't sneak into their house quietly, so he feels relieved. He is the earliest to come and the last to leave. , waited until everyone dispersed, and then walked to his room unhurriedly.
Lin Xiaoyi kept following him, her expression changing several times, but finally she pulled Ladijin's sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master...I...I have something to say!"
Di Jin said softly: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back."
When he returned to the room, Di Xiangling came over and asked, "What's going on? Someone died?"
Di Jin roughly described the situation, and Di Xiangling frowned: "This is troublesome, it will affect the schedule..."
Zhu'er next to her secretly glanced sideways.
As soon as this guy entered the academy, Xuan'er, the prison guard, was poisoned to death. Now he lives in a hotel and a military attaché died. How come something happens wherever he goes?
Of course, she didn't dare to say this, as she would be beaten by Di Xiangling...
Di Jin actually had some ominous premonitions, but there was no doubt that it was the environment of the Blizzard Inn that aroused the murderer's desire to kill. As a casual passerby, he could only say: "The person is dead. It is better to find out as soon as possible." The murderer...Xiao Yi, what did you have to say just now?"
Lin Xiaoyi swallowed and whispered the three sentences Xiaoqi said to him last night.
The room quickly became quiet.
Until Lei Cheng screamed and rushed to the bed, grabbed the quilt and wrapped it around himself: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
The others were startled by his reaction, and Zhu Er chuckled: "For such a big man to be so scared, you can tell it's a lie as soon as you hear it, floating around with four legs and two legs, it's just a kid's trick. …”
Di Jin said calmly: "Children's eyes can sometimes see things that adults cannot see. I once heard that a child in Bingzhou had a cemetery not far from his home. When the adults in the family carried him past the cemetery, the child would be confused. I cry and make noises every time, as if I saw something terrible in the cemetery..."
"Ah! Stop talking!!"
When the screams started, Zhu Er was so frightened that she swooped behind Di Xiangling. Di Jin raised the corner of his mouth, but found that Di Xiangling's expression was also a bit off: "Sister?"
Di Xiangling puffed up his chest: "How can I believe this? It's just... ha! You can't completely disbelieve this!"
Di Jin was speechless.
With such strong skills, I'm not afraid of ghosts...
Having traveled through time and space, Di Jin doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but he knows very well that the more you fear ghosts and monsters, the more powerful they become. Even if they really exist, just treat them as another species.
What's more, ninety-nine percent of the ghosts in murder cases are just pretending to be ghosts, in order to use fear to prevent people from tracing the truth.
He stopped joking and sternly characterized the incident: "I don't believe in ghost stories. In fact, the ghost legends in the world are often thieves pretending to be evil. The young man said this, maybe he was just angry at being beaten by Dong Ba for no reason. Or maybe he has seen something before... It is useless to make random guesses, so you should ask him!"
Such a calm and calm attitude eased the slightly panicky atmosphere. Lin Xiaoyi took a deep breath: "I'll go find him!"
Di Jin said to Lei Jiu: "You and Xiao Yi go together and ask other people in the inn about their attitude towards the murder. This is Fengqiu County, and the officers who escort prisoners do not have the power to enforce the law. , there is no need to conflict with them, but don’t be too afraid.”
"yes!"
Lei Jiu took the order and went out with Lin Xiaoyi. There was also movement outside, and several officers shouted all the way: "Open the door! Search the luggage! Search the luggage!"
Everyone had nothing invisible, so they took out their luggage and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the room. However, there seemed to be a dispute in the room belonging to the Chen family. The arrogant voice of the guard Wu Jing could be heard vaguely: "You are worthy of searching me." A thing of the Chen family? It’s enough to let the Yamen County Lieutenant come here! Back off! Back off!”
After all, they were relatives of high-ranking officials. These officials did not dare to offend, so they had no choice but to retreat, cursing and going to look for trouble in the business.
But before they finished searching, there was a harvest over there: "The head was found!"
However, an official opened the window of Dong Ba's room and saw a raised snowdrift on the snow outside the backyard. There was something vaguely placed on it. If he took a closer look, it was just a snowflake with disheveled hair. Head?
But what made him turn pale was that when he walked out from the backyard, the ground a hundred feet away was all flat snow, with no footprints visible...
