Just when Eunuch Chu and Su Mufeng were debating whether to step forward to greet him, the man seemed to understand that his speed was too slow, so he gritted his teeth and ran forward for more than ten steps, finally reaching Su Mufeng. Not far away waiting for someone.
"Hoo, ho." The man seemed to be exhausted, breathing heavily, and raised his head to look at Su Mufeng and Eunuch Chu.
"Zhu Xian." The leader of the Yamen straightened his back and said to the little fat man in front of him: "This is Eunuch Chu from the palace, and this is Mr. Su, the only son of the prince. They have something to ask you."
"In the palace? Your Majesty?" Zhu Xian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly straightened up, regardless of how tired he was. After a slight hesitation, he wolfed down the chicken legs in his hands and threw the chicken bones to the ground.
"Meow!" As the chicken bones fell to the ground, a tabby cat suddenly sprang out from the shadows on the side, bit the chicken bones and ran away.
But Zhu Xian seemed not to have seen this. He rubbed his greasy hands on his clothes, then clasped his fists and said, "Xiao, Zhu Xian, a small citizen, has met two adults!"
"Just now he said that you have always wanted to be a government servant, but the conditions are not enough, I thought there was something shady about it." Su Mufeng rubbed his forehead and said without hesitation: "But looking at your qualities, you really can't be a government servant. .”
"Hehe." Hearing this, Zhu Xian's round face turned red and he said sheepishly: "Back to Mr. Su, this really doesn't care about Brother Zhao and the others. This is how ordinary people have been since they were young. If they don't eat, they will be hungry." If you eat it, you’ll get fat.”
"Haha, what you said is a coincidence, I'm still hungry even if I don't eat." Su Mufeng laughed immediately when he heard this.
"But you are not fat." Zhu Xian shook his head: "But Mr. Su, don't look at me as fat. My fat has grown to my head, so I am not stupid."
"The head...is all muscles?" Su Mufeng's mouth twitched slightly, and then he shook his head: "That's all, let's not talk about it. Zhu Xian, right? I just heard them say that you have been investigating the murder of the cat demon?"
"Cat demon?" Zhu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this title, and then he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, I don't believe in any cat gods appearing at all."
"Why?" Su Mufeng said with some confusion, "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? Even if cats can kill people, they will never kill people continuously like now." Hearing Su Mufeng ask this, Zhu Xian said seriously: "I have seen the corpses of these dead people, although I don't have the ability to do anything. , but you can also see that they died very much alike."
"Oh? Tell me." Su Mufeng said with a smile.
"Including him, there are four people in total." Zhu Xian pointed at Gu Cheng and said, "They are blacksmith Du San, watchman Ma Changhai, and carpenter Sun Peng. According to my investigation during this period, Although they know each other, they don't know each other well, they don't get together on weekdays, and they have nothing in common in life."
"But when they died, each of them had their throats bitten to death. Some had injuries on their backs, some had no injuries, but there were countless cat scratch marks on their fronts."
"Yeah." Su Mufeng nodded: "Then what do you think of this case?"
"I don't know." Zhu Xian sighed and shook his head: "I have seen that black cat before. Although it looks scary, it doesn't like to attack people. Even if I get close to it, it will just leave as soon as possible instead of attacking. I."
"You still dare to get close?" Su Mufeng was even more surprised.
"Hey, you have to give it a try." Zhu Xian said with a smile: "So I think that even if these people were really killed by the black cat, it must be because they did something special."
"But these three people have different professions and different habits. What can they do? I can't guess."
"Why do you think it was the black cat that killed them?" Eunuch Chu asked.
"Wounds!" Zhu Xian said matter-of-factly: "Look at how big the wounds on their necks are and how thick the scratches on their bodies are. The thing that attacked them must be quite big."
"And we don't have wolves or tigers or leopards here in Beizhen. Even wild dogs are not that big. The most likely one is the black cat."
"Your analysis is quite good." Su Mufeng praised with a smile: "But are you sure there are no similarities in their lives?"
"If I have to say, there is one thing that may be related, but I'm not sure." Zhu Xian said: "According to my understanding, these three people all like to drink, and the wine is not very good. Sometimes they drink too much. It will cause trouble.”
"That's right." Zhu Xian seemed to have remembered something and said hurriedly: "They all like to drink Shao Daozi from Yanzi Winery in the east of the town!"
"Burning knives? Or strong alcohol." Su Mufeng nodded: "Then do you think they provoked someone while drunk?"
"It's possible, but not possible." Zhu Xian spread his hands and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "Those three people like to drink, but as far as I know, Lao Gu doesn't like to drink."
"Are you saying that if you include Gu Cheng, there will be no common ground between the dead?" Su Mufeng frowned: "Or maybe Gu Cheng is special?"
"Yes." Zhu Xian nodded: "By the way, Mr. Su, if you want to check, I can take you to the homes of the three deceased people."
"This is also a good thing." Su Mufeng nodded, turned to Eunuch Chu and said, "Uncle Chu, I ask you to rest at the inn while I'm investigating the case."
"Wait a minute." Eunuch Chu stopped Su Mufeng who was about to leave, then turned his head and looked at him and shouted: "Chen Sheng."
"Here." A guard heard Eunuch Chu's call and walked out of the crowd.
"The cases here are full of weirdness, and you will inevitably encounter danger when you go to investigate." Eunuch Chu patted Su Mufeng's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "This is Chen Sheng, ask him to follow you to protect your safety. "
"Okay." Su Mufeng glanced at Chen Sheng, then hugged his fists towards Eunuch Chu: "Thank you, Uncle Chu, for your concern."
Then Su Mufeng did not stay, and left here with Chen Sheng and Zhu Xian.
Along the way, Chen Sheng was dressed in black and holding a knife. He didn't say a word and looked like a shadow.
Su Mufeng glanced at him secretly. He understood that Eunuch Chu asked Chen Sheng to follow him. Protection was one aspect, but more importantly, supervision.
Eunuch Chu was worried that he was delaying the case in the name of investigating the case.
With Chen Sheng following him, as long as he had the intention of delaying, Eunuch Chu could immediately force him to continue rushing to Tianyu City.
"Haha." Su Mufeng laughed softly, not caring about Eunuch Chu's thoughts. He had no intention of delaying.
What he wants is to solve the case!
It’s like a divine help to solve the case!
