Red Heart Survey

Tangshe Town is located to the north of Fenglin City, one of the seven towns under Wei Quji's rule, and it is also the smallest and most remote town. It is backed by the Qichang Mountains, which stretch for tens of miles, and the townspeople also rely on the mountains to eat mountains, mostly hunters.

Walking in Tangshe Town, I saw old houses and few pedestrians. Occasionally passing by is also in a hurry, with gloomy eyebrows. Not to mention comparing with Fenglin City, it is far inferior to Fengxi Town where Jiang Wang was born.

"The villages near Tangshe Town are scattered along the Qichang Mountains. People here live by hunting. Usually, they gather in the town only on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Now is not the time to go to the market, so there are few pedestrians."

He did a lot of homework before coming here, so Jiang Wang was able to explain something to Zhang Linchuan.

Even though this trip was arranged by the dean to take care of the juniors, Jiang Wang knew that there was no reason to remind others of everything, so he did not dare to slack off.

Along the way, Zhang Linchuan always smiled lightly, neither alienated nor familiar, and did not show much emotion.

Hearing the words, he just nodded and walked towards the house where the murder case happened.

Although they came here to represent the independent will of the Taoist monastery, they had to meet the local government. Tang Dun, the police officer of Tangshe Town, was waiting for them at the door of this family.

"Tang Daniu and his wife are both natives of Tangshe Town. I and Daniu used to fight all the time when we were young..." I can see that this dark-skinned, straight-faced rough guy is a little sad, and there is still light in his cowbell-like eyes. With bloodshot eyes, he stood there and kept babbling, repeatedly saying: "The dog egg monster is too hateful! Fuck you! Fuck you!"

Zhang Linchuan glanced at the police uniform on his body, "Why are you here, are you arresting the head?"

"We went to catch the head and busy ourselves with other things." Tang Dun didn't notice Zhang Linchuan's dissatisfaction at all, and said to himself: "You will all be high-ranking officials in the future, but you must make decisions for us!"

"Interesting, in a small town of Tangshe, is there anything more important than this case of extermination?" Zhang Linchuan smiled contemptuously, but did not continue to pursue the matter, and only waved his hand to interrupt Tang Dun's words, "Say The point, what clues did you investigate? What did the people from the Criminal Investigation Department say when they came over?"

Dong A sent someone to investigate alone, and made it clear that Wei Quji could not be trusted. Correspondingly, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department avoided seeing them, and the local government in Tangshe Town only sent a low-level arrester to receive them. This is also conceivable.

Tang Dun scratched his head, "We...have no clues. Those adults from the Criminal Investigation Division found nothing and didn't tell us..."

Zhang Linchuan was almost laughed at by him, there is no clue, so what are you talking about here for a long time!

But after all, he has a good self-cultivation, suppressing his unhappiness and said: "Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Tang Dun quickly tore off the seal on the door, took out the key, and opened the general lock. Then the wooden door was pushed open.

Jiang Wang noticed that the seal was not simple, and it was painted with evil spells. Obviously, the practitioners of the Criminal Investigation Department deliberately protected the scene.

And as the seal was removed, the door was opened, and a smell of decay, filth, and stench gushed out.

Jiang Wang suppressed his discomfort and looked at the small courtyard. They were all things commonly used by hunters, such as hunting knives, clips, bows and arrows, as well as some animal skins and bacon, all scattered in the courtyard in a mess.

Only the skeleton of a hound was scattered at the main entrance. Judging from its posture, it was probably the first to discover the intruder, but it was dealt with in an instant.

When Jiang Wang turned his head, Zhang Linchuan had already covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief embroidered with orchid grass, and his brows were knit together.

Seeing Jiang Wang's inquiring eyes, Zhang Linchuan raised his chin slightly, and said from under the handkerchief, "It's okay, let's go in."

At this time, Tang Dun stood sideways at the door, a little muttering: "I...don't go in. Here, the evil door..."

After all, he is just a mortal, so Jiang Wang certainly wouldn't force him, so he nodded, "That's fine."

Then he took the lead and stepped into the courtyard.

The dense and strong corpse aura surrounded him in an instant, covering the olfactory organs. This level of corpse aura is definitely not something that can be produced by killing a few people or summoning a few living corpses. It is more like communicating with some kind of evil existence.

Zhang Linchuan glanced at Jiang Wang's hand holding the sword behind him. The slender and white finger bones looked clean and strong.

"Junior brother Jiang is good at swordsmanship?" he asked.

Jiang Wang looked around the environment without looking back, and said in his mouth: "Brother Zhang is laughing at me, my brother has not yet achieved Taoism, and he has not yet practiced Taoism, so he can only rely on swordsmanship to defend himself."

"When the outer sect was attacked, I heard that Junior Brother Jiang was also one of the people attacked, but he was able to escape calmly, which is extraordinary."

"Actually, it's also very dangerous. That demon is far stronger than me. I had to escape because I alarmed my fellow disciples."

There is a wooden dog house beside the yard, which is of course empty at the moment. Jiang Wang glanced over, and there was no blood stain in the entire yard.

"The situation here is not good, junior brother, please be careful." Zhang Linchuan said.

"Little brother understands."

There are three rooms in this small courtyard, and the lobby is directly facing the courtyard door, and the door is open. A corpse was lying on the threshold, but there was no flesh and blood, only a skeleton remained. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be the male master here, Orion Tang Daniu.

Jiang Wang stepped over the corpse carefully and walked into the lobby.

The four walls of the lobby are empty and there is no decoration, but there is an Eight Immortals table and four stools in the middle, and there are some leftovers on the table, which are covered with a bamboo cover.

Under the stool on the left, lay the mistress of the family, as evidenced by the rough cloth dress.

However... the food has not deteriorated, but the body is only bones.

An inexplicable chill pierced the tailbone, and the vague fear came from, Jiang Wang almost wanted to draw his sword. But after all, he has also experienced many life-and-death fights, so he restrained his instincts and avoided embarrassing himself in front of Zhang Linchuan.

"These flesh and blood are by no means devoured, but the effect of some kind of evil law." Zhang Linchuan covered his handkerchief with one hand and looked around casually. He could see that there was only disgust but no fear. "These two people have not died for a long time. , but the flesh and blood are all gone, so many clues are lost. You have fought against the monster who attacked the outer courtyard, but what are you familiar with?"

Jiang Wang shook his head, "I only see two bones now, so I can't tell. It's just the corpse's aura that pervades all around..."

"how?"

"At that time, I was attacked by the other party manipulating the corpse, and I was poisoned by the corpse. It was Master Dong who solved it."

Zhang Linchuan nodded, never letting go of the handkerchief covering his mouth, and went straight to the room on the right side of the lobby, "Let's split up and have a look, and let me know as soon as there is any situation."

"OK."

Zhang Linchuan is a high-grade monk. In the Tongtian Palace, the Dao revolves, and the Dao Yuan is self-generated. Jiang Wang didn't worry about him, so he pressed his sword and walked to the room on the left.

...

This room...

very small.

When you enter the door, you can see a wooden horse standing silently on the ground. This wooden horse is extraordinarily delicate and smooth, and it is obvious that a lot of painstaking effort has been devoted to the maker.

Not far from the wooden horse is a low table, on which small gadgets such as slingshots and rattles are scattered.

On the wall on the side of the low table, Jiang Wang saw the only decoration since he entered the courtyard.

It was a small canvas, on which three villains were drawn with childish brushstrokes.

The two older ones led a smaller one and ran in a sea of ​​flowers.

Behind the villain, followed by a little dog shaking its head.

This is a complete home, and the whole spring has been in full bloom here.

Jiang Wang reluctantly continued to walk in, until he saw scattered floral cloth clothes in front of the small bed.

Looking up, he took it for granted that he saw the last bones of the family.

Small, slender, fragile, lonely and helpless skeleton.

It was a little girl who was once regarded as a treasure by her parents, the only one left in this world.

He is angry.

Uncontrollable, extremely violent, anger.
