"Ah, kill, kill"

The woman's face turned blue and white with fright. She was in the same place for a long time before she reacted and ran away with a scream of panic.

Soon, people on the main street heard the news.

Soon after, the magistrate of Shicheng County who received the report also sent a constable to come.

The scene was quickly blocked, but the captors did not find any useful clues from the scene.

Although the one who died was a little beggar who nobody cared about, the case happened near the city Lord's residence. Although the county government wanted to calm down, it could not do it.

Finally, under the advice of the master, the county magistrate came to the city Lord's mansion and asked Qin Fengmu to investigate the case.

When Qin Fengmu returned to Shicheng, he seemed very idle. In fact, he needed remote analysis and command to be dispatched to receive the soldiers in the northern land. He had to deal with a large number of official documents every day.

The magistrate saw that the city master refused so neatly. He was frustrated for a moment and planned to leave with a headache.

However, just at this time, a man in sky blue brocade and dark pattern, with extraordinary momentum and a slightly mediocre face, suddenly appeared in the side hall, nodded to Qin Fengmu on the throne, and then turned to the county magistrate standing below.

Although it was just a light glance, the magistrate felt that he was being watched by the bloodthirsty wolf and could not escape.

He couldn't help stirring.

At the same time, the man's voice light ring in the quiet hall.

"It happens that Xia has been idle these days. If the city master has no objection, this case will be handled by Xia!"

"If you are willing to do it, the Lord of our city is very welcome."

Qin Fengmu looks at Xiao Yiyuan who changed his surname in front of him. On his grim face, he can't help but smoke.

At the next moment, his eyes turned to the county magistrate who couldn't figure it out

"Magistrate Wu, young master Xia is an expert in investigating cases. It's your good fortune to be willing to help."

When Qinfeng arrived, the magistrate was overjoyed. He bowed to Xiao Yiyun, and his mouth was full of compliments and gratitude.

Wu county magistrate has been an official for many years, but he has not learned his skills. He observes his words and looks, but he is very good at guessing the thoughts of his superiors.

In his mind, no matter what the young master Xia is capable of, he is worthy of being honored for his casual communication with Qin Fengmu, the leader of Shicheng City, and Qin Fengmu does not show any displeasure.

His mind is as wise as Xiao Yiyuan's. He can see what the magistrate thinks. However, he has no time to pay attention to the bureaucratic old man's mind. He just wants to find something to do to pass the boring time.

"Since Wu county magistrate has no objection to Xia's participation in the investigation, please lead the way ahead."

Light tone, but there is a kind of subconscious execution of the magic.

Wu county magistrate nodded and soon led Xiao Yiyuan away.

Looking at these two figures disappearing in the field of vision, Qin Fengmu couldn't help laughing and sipping a cup of tea. I hope the Wu county magistrate doesn't make mistakes in front of Yi Yuan, otherwise his official career will be over.

……

Xiao Yiyuan followed the magistrate of Wu County. After leaving the main residence of the city, he walked less than half a mile to the lane where the crime happened.

At this time, three hours after the body was found, the magistrate did not move anything at the scene of the crime to protect the scene.

"Young master Xia, this is the scene of the crime. The man on the ground is the dead. Look..."

"You talk too much!"

In the face of the county magistrate's almost nonsense, Xiao Yiyuan did not give face at all.

Surrounded by people watching the crowd, the magistrate was so humiliated on the spot. His face turned pale and his heart was full of anger. However, because of Qin Fengmu's face, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to swallow it.

But Xiao Yiyuan didn't pay attention to the magistrate's psychological activities. In the constant alternation of the magistrate's face, he has stepped over the pressure of maintaining the order of the scene and entered the scene.

After looking at the dead and his surroundings, he crouched to observe the body. After a while, he reached out to move his neck and found that the dead died of a broken neck bone.

After determining the cause of death, Xiao Yiyuan's eyes fell on the steamed bread and steamed bun beside the dead body.

He picked up the steamed buns first and observed them for a while, but nothing unusual happened.

Later, he picked up the rancid and hardened steamed bread and found that there were teeth bite marks on it, and half of the steamed bread was eaten.

Xiao Yiyuan frowned.

In Shicheng, it is not difficult to beg. Although the beggars are badly dressed, as long as they do not suffer from drought and flood, they will suffer from cold in winter at most and will not suffer from hunger.

Some beggars even changed their face with the money they got from begging, bought houses and fields, and lived an ordinary life with their wives and children on the Kang.

In such a city, people who can eat rancid and hard steamed bread must have great endurance.

So, will it be the dead or others who eat this steamed bread?

If it is someone else, will it be the murderer who killed the dead?

If so, what is the purpose of the attack?

Xiao Yiyuan put the steamed bread back to its original position, slowly stood up and looked at Wu county magistrate.

"Take the corpse and the two steamed buns back to the yamen, and then call for a good Wuzuo. In addition, find out the identity of the beggar, the scope of his activities and the people he interacted with. Ben... I'll give you half an hour!"

Then, ignoring the reaction of the magistrate and the captors, Xiao Yiyuan left and headed for the county government.

"My Lord, this... Should be done according to master Xia's idea?"

"Nonsense! I only give you half an hour. If I fail, I will ask you! "

Being called in front of so many people by a cloth suit, the county magistrate felt that he had lost his face. He turned to ask his captor and roared, as if he could recover his lost face.

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

Although the constable sneered at the county magistrate's practice, he had to obey the orders of the superior. He had to give orders to the captors instead

……

On the other hand, before Xiao Yiyuan left, Lu Hua followed him.

"What do you find?"

Xiao Yiyuan asked faintly.

"Back to the master, there is no abnormal performance in the crowd, the murderer should not be mixed in the crowd."

"Well."

Smell speech, Xiao Yiyuan light point next, more and more feel that eat half a piece of rancid hard steamed bread person will not be the dead.

"Go, you don't have to follow me."

"Yes."

Lu Hua knows that his master is in a bad mood these days. He carries out his orders more quickly than before. He is afraid that if he is slow, he will be angry and punished.

Lu Hua retreated again without any trace, while Xiao Yiyuan went to the county government.

After arriving at the county government, he didn't enter immediately. Instead, he took a seat at a noodle stall opposite the county government. He ordered some plain noodles and ate them slowly. What he thought was Xia Jin.

If this case is met by her, what will she do?
