After listening to Gu Cheng's words, everyone fell silent. No matter how you looked at it, Gu Cheng didn't look like he was lying. More importantly, there was no need for Gu Cheng to lie about this.
Especially Su Mufeng, he is a time traveler. Even though he was a staunch atheist in the past, he no longer resists the theory of gods and ghosts.
After all, if you insist on speaking, he himself is a "ghost".
However, although Su Mufeng remained in awe of the theory of ghosts and gods, he still felt very strange about this case.
Cat god kills people? No matter how weird it sounds.
Soon, everyone finished their dinner and returned to their rooms to rest.
After a full day of hard work on the journey, the guards were all very tired. Except for some soldiers who were keeping watch at night, the rest fell into a deep sleep.
The room where Su Mufeng rested was in an upper room on the second floor to the east of the inn, adjacent to Eunuch Chu's room. It was clean, comfortable and quiet.
Su Mufeng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, constantly thinking about what Gu Cheng had said before, especially Gu Cheng's last warning.
"In this northern town, once the Hai hour has passed, don't wander around outside, otherwise you will most likely be targeted by the Cat God!"
While Su Mufeng was deep in thought, he vaguely heard some noise outside the window.
Su Mufeng suddenly frowned, sat up from the bed, and looked at the window.
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a soft sound, and a huge black shadow appeared outside the window, like a cat.
"Cat God?" Su Mufeng frowned.
"Dong dong dong!" Just when Su Mufeng was thinking about whether to go down to take a look, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time a familiar voice came: "Su Si Zhong, what's wrong with you?"
"Eunuch Chu?" Su Mufeng glanced at the door suspiciously, and when he looked at the window again, the black shadow had disappeared.
"Is it the black cat?" Su Mufeng got down to the ground and opened the door while thinking.
I saw Mr. Chu holding a sharp sword in his hand and looking at the room warily: "I just heard a sound in your house..."
"Yes." Su Mufeng did not deny it, and said while stepping aside: "I just saw a black shadow outside the window, which seemed to be a cat."
"Cat?" Eunuch Chu frowned slightly, walked into the room, looked around, and then looked at Su Mufeng: "Su Sizhi, what do you think of what the postman said today?"
"I can't tell." Su Mufeng sat back on the bed: "Although the theory of the cat god sounds incredible, the postman doesn't look like he was faking it. If he really saw a black cat killing someone with his own eyes..."
"Then what?" Seeing that Su Mufeng had stopped speaking, Eunuch Chu looked at him in confusion.
"The whole world is not the king's soil, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Except for birth, old age, illness and death in nature, everything should not be beyond the king's law." Su Mufeng said in a deep voice: "If there is a black cat killing someone, then the black cat should be punish!"
"Haha, you're right!" Eunuch Chu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Since you think so, I feel relieved. Well, you have had a hard day today, so rest early. If there is any movement again, Call us promptly.”
"Thank you, Uncle Chu." Su Mufeng nodded.
Then Eunuch Chu left here with his sword and closed the door.
Su Mufeng was lying on the bed, looking at the closed window for a while and then for the closed door. Suddenly he chuckled and murmured: "Haha, that's interesting."
Then Su Mufeng stopped thinking wildly and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the bright sunshine shone through the window into the room, and Su Mufeng slowly woke up from his deep sleep.
Just after waking up, Su Mufeng heard a loud noise coming from outside the door.
Su Mufeng frowned, put on his clothes and walked out quickly, and soon walked to the street outside the inn.
At this moment, there were quite a few people surrounding the streets, and several officials were maintaining order.
"What's going on?" Su Mufeng came to Eunuch Chu's side and looked at the crowd in confusion.
"Someone died again." Eunuch Chu said solemnly, "It's Gu Cheng."
"Him?" Su Mufeng raised an eyebrow, then quickly walked over.
Several officials saw this and were about to stop him, but saw Su Mufeng take out a silver token from his arms.
When these officers saw the token, their expressions suddenly changed, and they hurriedly moved out of the way, and at the same time whispered: "Young Master."
"Who will tell me what's going on?" Su Mufeng came to Gu Cheng's body and squatted down, examining it carefully while asking in a deep voice.
"Mr. Gu's body was discovered this morning and has not been moved." An official said hurriedly: "According to the person who found the body, when he saw Mr. Gu's body, he saw a black cat..."
"Cat, cat god!" Another official said in a trembling voice: "This is done by the cat god!"
After hearing these words, the previous officer also fell silent. Apparently he thought the same thing.
Su Mufeng looked at several officials, then turned around and continued to inspect the body.
In his previous life, Su Mufeng was just a high school graduate who was passionate about detective novels, but because of his love, he had already read books such as "Forensic Identification", "Ten Steps of Inquiry", "Forensic Toxicology", and even He has been admitted to the Police University majoring in forensic medicine.
If he hadn't died so early, Su Mufeng would have been an excellent forensic doctor in the future.
So even though Su Mufeng was just dabbling in it and not studying it intensively, he also understood some simple autopsy methods.
Through Su Mufeng's examination, it was found that Gu Cheng's body had no body spots or rigor mortis, which showed that Gu Cheng had not been dead for long.
There were no signs of dragging on the ground, and the clothes on Gu Cheng's back were not damaged, which showed that he had not been moved after his death. This should be the scene of the first crime.
Su Mufeng then lifted off Gu Cheng's clothes, revealing his skinny body.
Gu Cheng's body was covered with scars, but they didn't look like they were cut by sharp objects, but rather like they were scratched by sharp claws.
Su Mufeng checked carefully, especially the location of the heart. The wound here was not fatal, and judging from the color of the wound, it did not appear to be highly poisonous.
Su Mufeng then turned over Gu Cheng's body and checked his back. Apart from the old wounds, there were only some small wounds on Gu Cheng's back, but these should have been caused by being injured on the ground while lying on the ground. The wounds stabbed by stones were also not fatal.
Finally, Su Mufeng's eyes fell on Gu Cheng's neck, where a large piece of flesh and blood had disappeared.
Obviously, this is the cause of Gu Cheng's death. He died after his neck was bitten alive!
"How's it going, Su Sizong?" While Su Mufeng was doing the autopsy, Eunuch Chu came over and said in a calm voice: "Did you find anything?"
"Roughly speaking, it seems that he was not poisoned before his death. Although there were many wounds on his body, they were not fatal. The real fatal injury was the bite on the neck." Su Mufeng did not look back and said while inspecting the body: "In other words, Gu Cheng should He was bitten to death."
"Someone is pretending to be a ghost?" After hearing Su Mufeng's words, Eunuch Chu hesitated and said.
"No, it's not like these wounds can be faked by humans." Su Mufeng shook his head: "It was indeed done by cats."
"He was killed by a cat!"
