When Xiao Dizi heard this, he couldn't believe it.
Hong Rui is a great god and has black eyes. He can see anyone's past, present and future. How could he not even be able to determine the identity of that round-faced old man? Could it be that the old man is a ghost that can't be more haunted?
Xiao Yanzi doesn't think Hongrui will lie to him, because he and Hongrui are in the same community, and Hongrui has no need to lie to him.
He couldn't figure this out, so he had no choice but not to think about it. So, after burying Tong Guan's body indiscriminately, he planned to leave at night.
Although he did not kill Tong Guan, he was the one who brought Tong Guan here after all. If someone traces him, he will still be suspected of murder, so it would be best to just leave.
He was walking very fast now. If he didn't rest on the way, he would be able to get back to Zhangjiacun before dawn.
He quickly passed through the city and continued to walk forward, but his legs stopped working. No matter how high he stepped, his feet still stayed in the original position when they landed, unable to move even half an inch forward.
He thought he had encountered a ghost here, so he walked back decisively, preparing to take another detour.
The walk back went smoothly without any invisible obstacles, but when we took a detour to another road out of the city, it became difficult to move forward again.
Repeated attempts to take detours yielded the same result - as long as he left the city a certain distance away, he would no longer be able to move forward.
Only then did he realize that there seemed to be an invisible force preventing him from leaving the city. That force, for unknown purposes, insisted on imprisoning him in the city.
During this period, he also asked Hongrui for help, but Hongrui said he was helpless. This kind of power is the same as that of the round-faced old man, which Hongrui cannot deal with.
Tangled up in a power that even the great gods couldn't deal with, Xiao Miko knew that she was in real trouble.
In desperation, he had no choice but to sit on a pile of hay by the city wall and spend the night carelessly.
After dawn, he returned to the city, bought some food at a food stall, and ate slowly.
While eating, other top people came one after another. Some of them were acquaintances, and they sat across from each other and started talking while eating.
A big man with a cheeky face said: "Brother, have you heard that at midnight last night, a corpse suddenly appeared at the gate of the government office in Dongcheng. When two watchmen saw the corpse, they were frightened and hurriedly reported it to the police. The detectives on duty did not dare to neglect, so they rushed over to take a look, and recognized that it was Tong Wanwan's son Tong Guan, so they knocked on the arrester's door late at night to discuss the matter of arresting the murderer at sea."
The thin man sitting opposite the big man with a cheeky face said in surprise: "Ah? Brother, such a thing can happen? What kind of person is Tong Wanwan? Who in the ordinary people would dare to attack his young master? If not, Tong Guan wouldn't be able to do that. He was so arrogant that everyone was afraid of him! Furthermore, after killing Tong Guan, he also placed his body at the yamen gate. This was obviously a blatant provocation to the government. What kind of person did the person who killed Tong Guan look like? How dare you do this?"
The cheeky man responded: "Brother, we don't know how many heads he has. Anyway, he is indeed brave enough. Whether it is killing Tong Guan or openly demonstrating to the government, which one of these two things is better? Most people would not dare to take it out, but that person did it anyway!"
As he spoke, he raised his thumb.
Other people who were eating heard the conversation between the two and turned to look at them. They slowed down their eating pace, expecting to hear more exciting content.
The thin man said: "Brother, according to what you said, that person must be the enemy of the Tong family and his son. He killed Tong Guan but didn't kill Tong Wanwan. It doesn't mean he didn't do it too badly. However, he deliberately provoked the government and What's going on? Could it be that the government also has a grudge against him? "
The cheeky man said: "The government has always worn the same trousers with rich families like Tong Wanwan. Since the person who killed Tong Guan had a grudge against the Tong family and his son, he must also bear the grudge against the government. This is nothing to make a fuss about. I'll tell you the truth. He said that the detective Xiaoliu was my cousin. According to him, the way the man killed Tong Guan was very unique. He didn’t use a knife or an ax. He didn’t know what he used, but he actually penetrated Tong Guan’s body. He made a small hole, and even the coroner didn't know what murder weapon he used, which is really surprising."
Hearing this, the thin man frowned in thought and said, "Brother, this is really strange. I just thought about it in every possible way, but I didn't come up with anything. If I knew where Tong Guan died, I might have some clues."
"Humph, this is a matter of more thought." The swollen-faced man responded, "The coroner's inquest in the middle of the night could not find the place where Tong Guan was killed, so Huluti filled out the corpse form and reluctantly handed it over. Bad."
The two of them were talking to themselves as if no one else was around, as if they didn't care about the people next to them who were listening with their ears pricked up.
After everyone else left, only the two of them and Xiao Mizi were left at the food stall.
The thick-faced man turned to look at Xiao Lizi and said, "Boy, when everyone eating here heard my brother and I talking about Tong Guan's murder, everyone listened with open ears, and everyone was shocked after hearing this. But you seem to be fine, what is going on? At your age, you usually don’t have such great determination, but you are not surprised at all. Could it be that you killed Tong Guan?"
When the young man heard this, he gave the rosy-faced man a hard look, then stood up and left.
Of course he wasn't surprised when he heard that Tong Guan had been killed. What was surprising was that Tong Guan's body actually appeared in front of the government office. He remembered very clearly that after Tong Guan was killed by the round-faced old man, he buried Tong Guan's body. Although the burial was relatively sloppy, it was not like his front feet had just left Tong Guan's body and his back feet had appeared. In front of the government office.
After thinking silently, he decided that it was the round-faced old man who was causing trouble again. That old man is so sneaky, and it's actually normal to cause trouble like this.
He judged from this that the person who imprisoned him in the city should be the sneaky old man. Moreover, the old man will definitely continue to play tricks. As for how to play tricks, he cannot judge in advance. He can only know when the results of the tricks are revealed.
The old man's tricks seemed to be against him. If Hongrui hadn't said that the old man had no demonic aura, he would have thought that the old man was an accomplice of the Yinshan Great Demon or the Huanshan Great Demon that he had destroyed.
So far, he still has a few enemies in the city, including Ghostface Zhang and his son, Bu Xiang and other divination masters, and the thief Li Si, but if these people can invite an old ghost man to them who even Hongrui would be ashamed of Revenge, Xiao Mizi would not believe it no matter what.
He couldn't figure out the strange thing behind the ghost old man, so he could only sigh.
He was sighing in this compartment, and a group of officials related to the investigation of Tong Guan's death were also sighing.
The first is to catch the fast one. These people specialize in catching murderers. If ordinary civilians are killed, whether they can catch the murderer is not a big deal. They can find any excuse to get rid of it. The problem is that the deceased was Tong Guan, the son of Tong Wanwan. Tong Wanwan was extremely wealthy and had always been on good terms with officials ranging from the city lord to the policemen and jailers. All the officials had benefited from him. If the policemen were If the murderer cannot be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible, then he will not only face Tong Wanwan's rebuke, but also cold-faced reprimands from his superiors and even the city lord.
By that time, it would be easy for them to get slapped on the butt, and they would most likely be dismissed from their posts and investigated.
However, faced with such an unsolved case with no clues, where would they go to find the murderer? You can't go down the street to investigate and ask someone if they are the murderer when you meet them, right?
Next are the push officials and their auxiliary officials who are responsible for investigating and handling cases. It is their duty to investigate every case, and the basis for investigating cases is case clues. However, judging from the current situation, in addition to relying on the police to find those clues, they can only find them from Tong Wanwan's family members.
However, Tong Wanwan is a person of great status, and he spent a lot of money to find out the murderer of Tong Guan. Now, if the investigators of the case turn around and touch Tong Wanwan’s family, Tong Wanwan is destined to be killed. Not happy.
Because of this, the official and his auxiliary officials were very anxious for a while, and everyone felt that they had no idea what to do.
