Zu An put the note away and said, "Six members of the personal bodyguard class of Duke Yunzhong later died in the line of duty. I asked my men to investigate their respective situations."
"The deaths of three of them are not suspicious, and the remains have been identified. However, the deaths of the other three are a bit strange."
"What's weird?" Pei Mianman asked curiously.
Zu An explained: "For example, one of them was besieged by the demon clan and his head was chopped off with a knife. In the end, his colleagues only recovered a headless body."
"The other one went to investigate a drug smuggling case, but the warehouse he finally found caught fire and his whole body was burned to charcoal."
"There is another person who was sucked away by evil things, leaving only a mummy."
Pei Mianman is a smart man and reacted immediately: "These people have one thing in common, that is, their identities are difficult to identify."
"That's right!" Zu An nodded, "I suspect that someone is using these means to steal someone else's. Those corpses may not be their own."
"But how to verify this thing?" Pei Mianman was a little worried, "After all, the identities of those people are no longer identifiable."
"When a person comes to this world, he will inevitably leave various traces. Even the most meticulous murderer will leave flaws that cannot be noticed," Zu An paused and said, "What's more, living people may lie, but dead people cannot .”
Pei Mianman's face changed slightly: "You can't be..."
Zu An smiled and nodded: "Beauty, you have nothing to do now. Are you interested in accompanying me to a date in the cemetery outside the city?"
"Bah, no normal person would go on a date in a cemetery." Pei Mianman was a woman after all, and she instinctively refused when hearing such a thing.
Zu An also knew that it was a bit difficult for her: "That's okay, you go home and rest first. I will come back to you after I finish my work."
Pei Mianman looked struggling, but he still couldn't bear to separate from his lover: "No, I'd better go with you."
Isn't that home a grave for her?
When you can be with your sweetheart, there is no place like home.
Zu An was also a little reluctant to let her go, so he held her hand and laughed: "It's okay, we husband and wife work together, and our strength is as strong as gold."
"Who is your husband and wife?" Pei Mianman was irritated, but she still let him hold her.
Zu An got on his horse and said, "The cemetery is outside the city. It's still some distance from here. It's easier for us to ride there."
As he spoke, he patted himself in front of him and motioned for her to sit up.
Pei Mianman's face was slightly red. If it was just in private, she would naturally sit on it happily, but now that there are people coming and going in the city, sitting in his arms like this is really too public.
Not only is she well-known in Yunzhong County, but her outstanding appearance and identity as the Pei family lady have given her quite a reputation. It would be a bit troublesome for someone to see her and spread the word to her parents.
So she tiptoed and sat directly behind Zu An.
"Hold it," Zu An reminded.
Pei Mianman pursed her lips. In private, not to mention hugging him, she was absolutely willing to do other things, but now she hugs other men's waists on the street. The girl
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
His reserve still made her a little worried.
"Drive!" Who knew that Zu An would press the horse's belly and the horse would gallop out.
Pei Mianman lost her center of gravity and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, she had a high level of cultivation and reacted immediately. She put her arm around Zu An's waist and stabilized her figure again.
Feeling the impact of the other party's impact on him, Zu An's expression suddenly became a little weird. Da Manman really deserves to be Da Manman.
"You did it on purpose." Pei Mianman hit him on the back angrily, but unfortunately he couldn't bear to do it hard.
Zu An laughed, flicked the reins, and ran out of the city.
A BMW paired with a beautiful woman is indeed one of the greatest joys in the world.
"Hey, slow down...slow down, I can't stand it anymore." Pei Mianman sat in the back and almost got knocked down several times, so he could only hug the other person's waist tightly.
"Soldiers are very quick. I have recently begun to investigate these guards. The forces hiding in the dark may have been alerted. I am worried that they will be in trouble if they destroy the corpses and eliminate traces." Zu An explained.
"Oh~" Pei Mianman was clinging to the other person's body at this time. Although she was separated by her clothes, she could still feel the warm heat on the other person's broad and thick back, and she suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind.
She only felt that her heart was filled with happiness. This was the scene she had imagined riding a horse with her sweetheart, but she didn't expect it to actually come true.
"Azu, do you know why I came to see you today?" Pei Mianman pressed her face tightly against his back, and it felt really good to have him in front of him to block the wind and snow for him.
"Isn't it because you miss me?" Zu An replied with a smile.
"Huh, that's just one aspect." Pei Mianman was not coy this time. "The other aspect is that Prince Qi wants to know how far you have investigated."
"Oh?" Zu An raised his eyebrows. After listening to Pei Mianman's general explanation of Zhao Zhi's visit, he couldn't help but sigh, "Do all the men in this world have brain problems? Why do they always like to send their fiancées? Where are the other men?"
The unlucky Sang Qian appeared in his mind, but now that he was his advantageous brother-in-law, he was too embarrassed to criticize him.
But he still wanted to praise this kind of behavior, thinking that the more people he met like this in the future, the better.
Don't pity me because I am a delicate flower, just come to me and let them ravage me severely.
"Bah, who is his fiancée? I never agreed." Pei Mianman bit the other party in embarrassment.
"Of course you are my woman. That guy Zhao Zhi wants to eat swan meat. Let him know what it means to lose his wife and lose his troops this time." Zu An laughed.
Pei Mianman always felt that the other party's words sounded strange, but when he heard his bold words declaring that she was his woman, she felt so sweet that she hugged him and stopped talking.
Along the way, Zu An felt as if he was leaning on a ball of cotton. He thought to himself that no wonder those who rode motorcycles with women in his previous life let them sit in the back. Just now, he subconsciously asked Pei Mianman to sit in the front. He was still too young.
In this way, the two of them were immersed in their own emotions, and no one wanted to break this beautiful feeling.
Came unknowingly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When it comes to suburban cemeteries, although they are big in this world, you cannot be buried wherever you want, because the land is probably not yours.
Ordinary people do not have enough land to grow food at home. If there is a slight disaster, the land may be annexed by the landlord because the loan cannot be repaid.
The government often allocates a piece of wasteland to many people who cannot find a burial place. However, such people often have no one at home. After one or two generations, there are no incense and sacrifices, and they soon become lonely graves. Over time, this area Mass graves will form in wasteland.
As the trusted bodyguards of Lord Yunzhong, their treatment is obviously much better.
Yunzhong County Duke specially allocated a piece of land in his fiefdom to bury those men who died in the line of duty. Although he disappeared, this system has continued to be implemented well.
There are also various pine and cypress trees planted nearby, and they are also dotted with various flowers. Of course, there are naturally no flowers in the cold winter.
The cemetery also has a caretaker who trims the flowers and plants on weekdays to prevent wild animals from entering and damaging the cemetery.
It's just that on such a snowy day, they were all hiding in the room warming themselves by the fire, so they wouldn't come out to investigate.
Zu An and the two easily entered the cemetery and found the graves of the guards according to the information given by their subordinates.
"Do you really want to dig a grave?" Pei Mianman turned around unnaturally. The ride was too bumpy just now, and the two of them were close to each other. Her whole body was still numb now, and she didn't want to be touched by the other person. See your own embarrassment.
Zu An hummed, "Just stand by and I'll do it."
Pei Mianman opened his mouth, wanting to say I'm here to help, but thinking about what the other party was going to do, he gave up the idea.
"Dear heroes, I am not here to disturb you sincerely, but I want to give you justice. After all, someone really harmed you, and you don't want to die innocently like this..." Zu An took out a few sticks of incense he had prepared and saluted several people. Only then did we start to take action.
This is a world of cultivation, and everyone is a human-shaped excavator. Digging graves is not as troublesome as imagined.
Soon a coffin leaked out, "This man's name is Cheng Ba. He was ambushed by the demon clan and had his head chopped off."
As he spoke, he removed the coffin lid, and a foul smell filled the air.
"Be careful of corpse poison." Pei Mianman on the side pointed his finger, and a wisp of black flames passed by, burning away the poisonous gas.
"You'd better be more careful." Zu An smiled and then began to examine the bones inside.
There is indeed only the skeleton of the body, and the position of the head is replaced by a wooden sculpture.
Although the other party had been dead for several months, the climate in Yunzhong County was cold, so his body did not turn into bones.
"The head is gone, what can you tell?" Pei Mianman covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and also handed one to Zu An.
If it wasn't to accompany her lover, she would never stay in a place like this.
