Seeing Jiang Xixi walking in from outside the gate of Xin'an Mansion, Shen Qing hurriedly greeted him and asked anxiously, "Still haven't found the murderer?"
” Jiang Xixi shook her head, she glanced at Shen Qing, only to see that he had a scruffy beard, his clothes hadn't changed for several days, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was seriously lacking in sleep, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You haven't been home for the past few days?"
” Shen Qing yawned heavily, "I want to see if there is anyone who can help, so I have been staying here and studying these corpses." ” "And what have you come up with?"
"Just now, I finally found the similarities between several people."
He touched his face, "Master Jiang, if you were asked to describe my face in four words, what would you say?"
” "Unshaven beard."
Jiang Xixi blurted out without even thinking about it.
Shen Qing smiled faintly, "That's right, if a man doesn't trim his face for a few days, he will grow a beard, but look at Yuan Qi and Li Rengui, although the two of them are covered with blood, their sideburns and mouths are clean and crisp, obviously they have just been repaired, I also carefully observed the hair of the two, the edges are neat and not frizzy, obviously, they were just taken care of before they died, so I suspect that the last thing Yuan Qi and Li Rengui did before their deaths was to trim their faces and cut their hair." ” Jiang Xixi pondered for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands, "Yes, Yuan Qi came out of your house and did not go back to Qiao's house directly, but went to the market to do something, this matter Qiao's family doesn't know, and his parents don't know, so it must not be a very important thing, if according to your speculation, it is reasonable for him to go to the market to get a face and haircut."
There is also Li Rengui, his wife said that he will always find a place to rest when he comes down from the dock, so it is very likely that he will cut his hair and trim his face like Yuan Qi.
It's just," she groaned slightly, "what about Wangcheng?"
Why didn't you mention him?
Is his beard and hair different from those two?
” Shen Qing nodded, "It's true that Wang Cheng didn't cut his hair and trim his face, but I found a large amount of broken hair on his clothes, and after my observation, I found that these hairs belonged to different people, with different thicknesses and colors, so I think Wang Cheng must have been put into a bag that used to contain his hair and dragged home by the murderer." ” "So, the murderer was a shaver?"
Shen Qing nodded heavily, "Very likely, Lord Jiang, you have searched from house to house several times, have you found any suspicious people engaged in this industry?"
” "What suspicious person?"
Cheng Muyou's voice came in from outside, he had just rushed back from Ruzhou overnight, and now he was walking into Xin'an Mansion with a tired face, striding next to Shen Qing, his eyes staring at him without blinking.
"My lord, Shen Gongzi deduced that the murderer was likely to be a shaver, but according to your lord's instructions, we searched the city a few times, and we didn't find any suspicious people."
Jiang Xixi said first.
"If you can't find a suspicious person, you will find the hunchbacked old man who is over the age of ten first."
"Hunchbacked old man?"
"It's a long story, you do what I tell you first."
Cheng Muyou whispered to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xixi said yes and turned around to walk out of the door, but just after walking a few steps, he was stopped by Shen Qing behind him, "The hunchbacked old man is over the age of old, but I know one." ” "Who is he?"
Cheng Muyou asked loudly.
"He and his son's family live in the mountains outside the city, Feng Yi and I have been to his house, but that day, his son was not at home, if his son is the shaver, then this family may be the real murderer who killed these people."
"He lives outside the city, no wonder you have checked several times and found no suspicious person," Cheng Muyou gritted his teeth and said these words, he looked up at Jiang Xixi, his eyes were bright, "This family is full of suspicions, it is better to go to his house sooner rather than later." ” Shen Qing hurriedly followed behind them, "I'll go with you." ” Jiang Xixi looked at his thin body, "You still forget it, in case the situation is urgent, I have to take care of you at that time, you just stay here and wait for news." ” Shen Qing was not angry, and just wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a servant led the old couple to the court, and the two old men were so surprised when they saw Shen Qing that they forgot to salute Cheng Mu, and jumped up and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Shen Gongzi, why are you here?"
What about Erxi, where did Erxi go?
” "Isn't Erxi at home?"
When the two old men heard him say this, their faces became even more anxious, "We saw that Erxi didn't go home for a few days, so we went to your house early in the morning, but the stove there was cold, and it didn't fire for several days, why didn't this child follow you?"
” "I've been in Xin'an Mansion for the past few days, so it seems that he likes him and he."
Erxi's father and mother saw that his face was pale, and he sat on the ground in fright, "Shen Gongzi, don't scare us, Erxi won't have an accident." ” Shen Qing ignored them, he turned around anxiously in the public hall, tapped his fingers a few times, and muttered to himself, "It's not seven days yet, Erxi should still be saved," he suddenly rushed to Cheng Muyou's side, "My lord, please hurry up, there is not much time left, if Erxi was really robbed by that person, then he must be in danger now, please be sure to rescue him." ” As soon as he walked out of Xin'an Mansion, Cheng Muyou saw Yan Niang standing under the willow tree across the street, she seemed to know where they were going today, so she made a special trip to wait here.
Anxious heart suddenly became a lot more steady, he walked quickly to her side, his face was full of surprise, but his mouth asked knowingly, "Miss Yan, what are you doing here?"
” Yan Niang squinted her eyes and smiled, "I also want to see what the murderer is like, and what he wants to resurrect, my lord, you are an adult, let me go with you." ” Walking on the mountain road about a cup of tea, the Hu family's house can already be faintly seen, looking from a distance, the fog swamp, the courtyard around the clouds and fog, it looks weird.
"It's so dead here, we shouldn't be in the wrong place."
Yan Niang covered her nose and whispered.
"He killed so many people, so naturally he would not be dead."
Jiang Xixi followed her words and said.
"It's not enough for a few dead people, I think, these dead qi should be emanating from something, that thing kills countless people, so everywhere you go, there will be dead breath lingering."
Yan Niang stared directly at the Hu family's mansion and said meaningfully.
Jiang Xixi was taken aback, "That thing is so powerful?"
” "Fortunately, it has not yet been 'hatched', and if it really lives, I'm afraid we will have to fight a tough battle."
