I Have a Luck Altar

  Chapter 21 Murder, monster!

  The next day.

   "Shua!"

  Chen Yuan waved the long knife in his hand expressionlessly.

once,

   twice,

   three times

  After a hundred times of swinging the knife, Chen Yuan's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and the blood in his body was surging. If you listen carefully, you can hear some voices.

  While practicing the sword, Chen Yuan is also practicing.

   After a long time, Chen Yuan retracted his knife and stood on the spot. The sun in the void had already risen, which made people feel a touch of warmth.

   After eating breakfast at Zhouji Baozi Shop, Chen Yuan walked slowly towards the county government.

   Today is another day for salted fish!

   County government.

  Chen Yuan greeted the old yamen servants one by one. After beheading the iron hand and killing a Wusheng Cult thief, Chen Yuan's status in the county yamen has obviously increased a lot.

   You know, most of the government servants who came in with Chen Yuan had no sense of existence.

  Even in the county government, it speaks with strength.

   In the two incidents of Chen Yuan, although there were some tricks, his strength was also praised.

   No one knows that Chen Yuan stepped into blood refining, otherwise everyone would be even more shocked.

  However, Chen Yuan still doesn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention. It is the kingly way to develop silently and make a fortune silently. When he steps into bone refining, it will be his official showdown time.

   After greeting everyone, Chen Yuan just wanted to sit down.

  Suddenly, a yamen servant rushed in and headed for the room where the head catcher Huang Xing was staying, with a serious expression on his face.

   After a while, the head catcher Huang Xing and the yamen servant walked out of the room and scanned everyone.

   "Zhao Ning, Chen Yuan, Wang"

   "The rest are patrolling as usual, you follow me!"

  Huang Xing's words were decisive, as if he had encountered a major incident, and most of the people he named were strong.

  Chen Yuan didn't dare to refute anything, and followed Huang Xing obediently.

   On the way, Chen Yuan finally knew what happened.

   Still has a relationship with the monster of Wusheng Sect.

  The incident happened in the east of the city, a large family located in the east of the city, the whole family of seventeen people, including the servant girls and servants, all died unexpectedly.

  The blood was sucked dry, almost the same as the death of Chen Pingan's parents.

   With such a big case, it's no wonder Huang Xing's face is solemn.

  The previous homicides all happened in remote villages, and everyone didn't want to provoke them, but when they happened in the city, the Yamen couldn't help but ignore them.

  The east of the city is relatively speaking, it is the wealthiest area in Pingan County, and the Huang family is located in the east of the city.

   Soon, a group of yamen servants did not dare to delay. Before arriving at the house, a dozen white servants guarded the house, and Huang Xing led everyone inside.

  In the yard.

  Seventeen corpses were placed one by one, covered with white cloth.

  Chen Yuan picked up the white cloth with the scabbard, and looked carefully one by one. The death pattern was indeed exactly the same as that of Chen Ping'an's parents.

  Chen Yuan's heart tightened. He didn't know if this was done by the Wusheng Sect monster unintentionally, or if it was a warning to the county government. Will he be targeted among them?

   "What did Wu Zuo say?" Huang Xing asked with his head down.

  A middle-aged Wu Zuo cupped his hands and said:

   "It should be what happened last night."

   "What traces can be found?"

  Huang Xing nodded, and then set his sights on a group of yamen servants. Just now, they have conducted a careful inspection of the entire house.

  Someone shakes his head, and someone brings up some clues.

  But after all, there is no clear clue.

  Chen Yuan searched all over the corner, and finally found a few footprints that were not very obvious, squatting down slowly, Chen Yuan stared at the footprints, thinking about something in his eyes.

   Seeing Chen Yuan's strange behavior, Huang Xing stepped forward:

   "What came to mind?"

  Chen Yuan pointed to the footprints on the ground:

   "My lord, judging from the humble footprints, there should be two thieves of Wushengjiao. One is a little thin and the other is a little fat."

   "The fat one should have a limp."

   Huang Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan:

   "How do you see it?"

   "Look, my lord, this footprint is obviously deeper than the other footprints, and the left leg exerts more force, and the humble official has just observed that none of the seventeen corpses on the ground is lame!"

  Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

   Just now that he was idle, Chen Yuan had already checked all the corpses on the ground to make sure that no one had any problems with their legs, and he would be so sure when he checked the footprints later.

  Huang Xing stared for a long time before saying:

"good."

   Soon, Huang Xing ordered people to search according to Chen Yuan's judgment.

   The target is a lame fat man

  The homicides that happened in the county town, they couldn't help but ignore them.

  The imperial court has already put Wushengjiao into the must-kill order.

   "You were the first to discover the murder in the morning?"

  Chen Yuan found the first person who reported the crime, a carpenter who delivered the coffin to that family.

   "Yes, sir, this morning."

  According to the middle-aged man, he was supposed to send a letter today to tell them that the coffin had been built, but the door remained closed and did not open.

   After waiting for a while, he wanted to leave, but he smelled blood again. Realizing that something was wrong, he pushed the door open with several fellow carpenters.

  After seeing the tragic situation in the mansion, I was terrified, so I ran to report to the official.

  Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, but noticed another thing.

   "Why build a coffin?"

  He has observed that the master and wife of that family are not dying, and they are only in their forties. They should not have prepared for their funeral so early.

  The carpenter was taken aback, and said truthfully:

   "Master Liu asked us to build the coffin, which he said was to move the grave of our ancestors, and all the high-quality wood was used."

   "Move the grave." Chen Yuan seemed to realize something.

   "Okay, do you know why you want to move the grave?"

   "I heard from Master Liu that the Feng Shui of the old grave is not good. I don't know if it is true."

  Is the moving of the grave related to the murder case?

  Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

   "Do you know where the ancestral grave of Mr. Liu's family is?"

   "I know, I know, the villain has been there once, Master Liu believes in this, and specially took us to pay a memorial service once."

   "Take me to see"

  The carpenter didn't dare to refute. To him, the county government servant was already a very important person, and he was not something that small people like him could provoke.

   After saying a few words, Chen Yuan went to ask the head catcher Huang Xing for instructions, but the head catcher Huang Xing objected.

   "What's so interesting about the tomb, I might as well search the county seat if I have the time."

  Huang Xing scolded, as if a little displeased.

  Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, did not refute, and quickly said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, did he provoke Huang Xing somewhere?

   Or did he realize that he was hostile to him?

  Chen Yuan didn't know, but Huang Xing had already spoken, and Chen Yuan would not stand up to him. After inquiring in a low voice about the location of Liu Jiazu's grave, he took a few white servants and started searching in the county.
