casket of old days

Chapter 58 Aggressive
He Xian's servant and Chen Gang went into the underground ditch to search for almost an hour, and they were covered in filth and stench. Finally, they found the body of the fox demon outside a perforated gate, and found traces that the gate had been broken again.Perforated gates are designed to block larger dirt and prevent underdrains from clogging.

Chu Qiguang looked at the corpse being brought up, his eyes suddenly focused, as if he was exerting his inspiration and thinking about the case to an important step.

He Xian on the side jumped in his heart: "What a sharp look, did you deduce something?" '

Chu Qiguang said slowly: "It seems that after the fox demon was blocked by the gate, he wanted to open the gate, but suffered serious injuries and died."

Dao Yuan checked the corpse of the fox demon, he was used to seeing the corpses of all kinds of demons, and said with an unchanged expression: "This fox demon's body is seriously injured, especially the back is seriously injured, it is not easy to persist here .”

He Xian frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the He family will be dissatisfied, thinking that we just took a fox corpse as a prevarication. I also ask Daoist Fa Yuan to help prove it."

Fa Yuan said: "Don't worry, Mr. He, there is no doubt that we have tracked down the fox demon we found all the way. After examining the blood and claw marks of the fox demon in a while, we will have a conclusion, but it should be this fox demon. gone."

He looked at Chu Qiguang with a smile: "Good boy, I didn't expect to find it for you."

So a group of people took the fox demon's body back, only to discover the situation as soon as they arrived at the county government.

……

In the side hall, He Zhixian looked at Gu Butou with satisfaction and said, "I heard Song Dianshi said that you have caught the fox demon?"

Gu Butou said humbly: "We caught it, and the results of the fox blood test came out. It should be the fox demon."

"Okay." He Zhixian smiled: "I caught the fox demon so quickly, I will definitely report to the court to commend your achievements."

Seeing He Xian, Fa Yuan Taoist and Chu Qiguang walk in, He Zhixian laughed and said: "Xian'er, you came just in time, Gu Butou has caught the fox demon, this blood corpse case can finally be closed .”

Gu Butou glanced at Chu Qiguang proudly, bowed his hands towards the county magistrate, and said, "It's all thanks to the county's superior leadership, who taught us the principles of serving the country faithfully and faithfully, so we were lucky enough to catch the fox demon." .”

He Xian and Taoist Fayuan looked at each other, and the way they looked at Gu Butou was a bit strange.

Chu Qiguang went up directly and said, "Xianzun, we found the body of the fox demon."

"Oh?" He Zhixian looked at Gu Butou.

Gu Butou sneered and said: "Corpse? The fox demon can kill Hao Yongnian and his party, how could he die so easily? Mr. Chu, don't be impatient, just find a fox corpse to make a difference."

Everyone looked at Chu Qiguang, but they saw Chu Qiguang saying confidently: "Mr. He and Daoist Fa Yuan were there the whole time I was looking for that fox demon, and they can all testify for me."

Gu Butou sneered and said: "I'm afraid the Taoist priest and the young master are also deceived by you, so you dare to test the blood of the fox?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Why don't you dare?"

Gu Butou called the guards directly, took the blood from the corpse of the fox demon and gave it to the dogs to lick, and the dogs became passionate after a while.

Gu Butou looked at this scene in surprise, and felt incredible in his heart: "Is this also a fox demon?"

Chu Qiguang on the other side said: "Since there are fox demons on both sides, why not compare the claw marks on the scene."

Then Hezhi County called the guards and brought two foxes, one dead and one alive, to the scene.

The fox claws of the two foxes were compared with the claw marks on the scene one by one, and the fox corpse caught by Chu Qiguang was exactly the same as the claw marks on the scene, while the fox claws of the fox caught by Gu Wei and the traces on the scene were exactly the same. Not at all.

Seeing this scene, Gu Wei was startled and angry. He never thought that there were two fox demons in Qingyang County, but he let him catch the one that had nothing to do with the blood corpse case.

On the other side, He Zhixian saw the conclusive evidence, and he was already happy. His official position was preserved, and he was deeply relieved when he thought of his mission in Qingyang County.

He Zhixian said to Chu Qiguang: "Okay, Chu Qiguang, you have done a good job. This time the blood corpse case is solved, and Qingyang County can finally be restored to peace."

Chu Qiguang cupped his hands and said, "Trust the magistrate, this time, I have fulfilled my mission."

Gu Wei on the other side was still not reconciled, thinking how much he had to show his merits and share the reward, he said: "I only know that I want to catch the fox demon, but I didn't expect that there are two fox demons in the city. I see this The two fox demons must have colluded.

Moreover, before these two fox demons were arrested for inspection, who could be sure which one was the one that committed the crime? The demon boy was caught in one catch. "

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he obviously wanted to blur the credit of himself and Chu Qiguang, and split the contributions of the two in half.

He Zhixian also nodded when he heard Gu Wei's cryptic credit for himself: "Gu Butou, you also have credit this time, and I will show it to the court one by one, and your reward will never be missed."

From Hezhi County's point of view, although Chu Qiguang caught the real murderer, the fox demon, Gu Wei commanded hundreds of guards to rush to inspect the scene, collect evidence, search the whole city, and caught another fox demon , also has a contribution that cannot be ignored.

Gu Wei smiled and retreated to the side. His goal had been achieved, but he still wondered if there was any way to distribute more money.

Chu Qiguang knew Gu Wei's plan as soon as he heard Gu Wei's opening, and said slowly: "It is true that Butou Gu has no credit or hard work, but I see that the fox brought by Butou Gu doesn't look like a monster."

Gu Wei snorted coldly and said: "Young Master Chu, don't lie, this fox demon has already experienced blood, so there is no doubt that he is a fox demon."

Chu Qiguang said: "The fox demon who killed Mr. Hao should have been seriously injured, but I think the fox is intact and doesn't look injured."

Gu Wei said: "How can monsters care about common sense? It is not uncommon for monsters to heal faster than ordinary animals after taking pills or practicing some monster martial arts."

Chu Qiguang walked up to the fox and said, "I think it's better to do a blood test again. I'm afraid that the guards under the head catcher will be sneaky and sneaky, so I caught an ordinary fox to deal with the business."

Gu Wei watched the blood test of his servants with his own eyes. He was confident that the fox must be a fox demon. At this moment, he stared at Chu Qiguang coldly and said, "Mr. Acknowledge your mistakes to my brothers, and don’t let those who wholeheartedly serve the country and dedicate themselves to their duties be wronged in vain.”

"That's natural." Chu Qiguang turned his head to look at Fa Yuan and said, "I also ask Daoist Fa Yuan to inspect this fox demon himself."
