Chapter 363 Chapter 362
"Huh~~"

Lu Tong stood up abruptly, because of his great strength and rapidity, he knocked back the heavy chair he was sitting on, and the sound of friction between the chair legs and the ground was very painful.

His originally tired face turned pale in an instant that was visible to the naked eye, and the speed was so fast that even the strongest painter in the world could not keep up.

It wasn't the first time Jiang Xiancheng and the two yamen servants met, but they were still scared. Jiang Xiancheng even dared not look at them, and the yamen servants even closed their eyes when opening the sack.

The person who should have been the most terrified was the one who was the calmest at the moment.

Qi Baoer even jumped to the ground and squatted down in front of the sack, holding her chin with one hand and holding a thin stick at some point in the other, and rummaged through the contents of the sack carefully.

One, two, three or four people present: "..."

Well, it really is worthy of being the person who can be nominated as the county head by the emperor himself.

Lu Tongpan and the others looked scary, but it was really nothing to Qi Baoer, it was just the fake trick that scared the survivors of the Ma family out of their souls.

Just because it has been soaked in river water, the paint on the fake ghost cover has been washed or smudged, and the things that were originally very underworld can no longer be described by the word underworld.

Qi Baoer first pulled out the three heads that were sewn together, and the middle one was deflated, which should be used to put on the head of a real person.Qi Baoer didn't deliberately open it to see what it looks like, she doesn't have that much evil interest.

The two heads on the left and right are filled with stuffing, which is actually fine, they are all sewn with cloth, and the bottom of the face is white cloth, and then a scary grimace is painted on the white cloth with paint.

The one on the left was supposed to be bleeding from seven holes, with big red lips, and the mouth was split, taking up half of the face, until it reached behind the ears.

You can roughly see the original appearance, but after being soaked in the river water, the paint smudges away. The whole face looks like the eyes are blurred and connected together. There are no eyeballs in the eyes, and the nose is also blurred and connected to the eyes. , the mouth looks bigger and more slit.

Not to mention, it's not uncommon for ordinary people to see such a face all night long, and it's really not uncommon for ordinary people to frighten their souls.

The head on the right is filled with carved wood, and the middle of the head seems to have been cut open by a machete until the chin is only a little connected, and the face is divided into two sides.

The paint on this side of the head has been smudged more severely, one side is darker and the other is redder, and the original appearance can no longer be seen, but the strange thing is that these two sides now form a pattern of their own.

If you look closely on the left, you can see half of the sad face of an old man, and on the right, you can see half of a distorted and howling face.

Qi Baoer pulled the dummy head aside with a thin stick, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose, after she pulled the dummy head aside, it turned out to be face down.

Qi Baoer didn't pick the other things in the sack, she saw that the exposed corner had been washed very clean.

Thinking about the situation in Yuehu Bay that Jiangxian Cheng said just now, it is not difficult to guess that the reason why the old man was poisoned due to long-term exposure to arsenic should be the ones in the washing sack.

The fact is the same. Many people in Yuehu Bay are too poor to afford fabrics, and the same is true for the poisoned elderly.

His granddaughter will marry another family in the village at the beginning of next year. After picking up this ghost costume, the old man was terrified, but it was cloth, so the old man put the scariest headgear aside and washed it down to the neck. dresses and skirts.

Qi Baoer threw the stick, walked back, jumped back to the chair and sat down, "Master Jiang, can Dr. Wei confirm that the clothes have been soaked in arsenic water for a long time?"

His head and face were closed and he couldn't see anything scary. Jiang Xiancheng was the county magistrate of a town after all, and he was more courageous than ordinary people. Although he was still afraid, it didn't affect his normal thinking and speaking.

"Yes, Doctor Wei is very sure of this. Doctor Wei also said that this costume of pretending to be a ghost is obviously used to harm people, but since the costume of pretending to be a ghost is also intended to harm others, this should be a serial scheme."

This can be determined by confirming that the costume for pretending to be a ghost has been immersed in arsenic water for a long time.

However, Lu Tongsan has a different opinion, "It may also be killing people to silence them."

It's just that the cost of silence is a bit high and troublesome.

Arsenic is not cheap. It is an exaggeration to say that it is sold in grams or taels.

Jiang Xiancheng glanced at Qi Baoer secretly, and saw that Lu Tongpan, who was still pale, had sat down again, and had no intention of asking the county magistrate to leave, so he knew that Lu Tongpan absolutely trusted this young man The county lord, even this kind of matter related to the case does not avoid her.

So, I stopped thinking too much: "The lower official wonders whether the perpetrator is very familiar with the person who pretends to be a ghost, and for some reason he/she can't directly do something to him/her, which is why he thought of this twists and turns. way.

As for the ability to use arsenic water to soak clothes, the officials suspected that they had a lot of arsenic in their hands. "

Because there are many, it is not rare, and because there are many, it is not easy to be discovered by others.

Lu Tongpan and Jiang Xiancheng looked at each other, and both of them felt like their heads were big.

Why is this case getting more and more unclear?
Originally, Lu Tongpan just brought Qi Baoer to see if the Ma family's extermination case was related to evil spirits. If so, please ask Qi Baoer to solve it. If not, then go to the next place to investigate.

After all, the Lu Tong Judgment is the general judgment of Yong'an City. The case in Ping An Town should be resolved by Ping An Town itself. If it can't be resolved, it should be reported to the county first.

It's not that he is a murderer in the main city and helps investigate the case in a small town.

But now this case obviously involves some unknown forces. It is impossible for a person who can produce a large amount of arsenic to be just one or two people.

This prevented him from leaving immediately.

"Bao'er, investigating the case is boring, why don't you go back first, and uncle will bother you after the case is over."

It is true that Qi Bao'er has no intention of staying in Ping'an Town anymore, and she is unwilling to mix with all these complicated things in the world, and she is not suitable for mixing.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, then I'll go back tomorrow."

It happened that the fourth uncle should have finished the exam, so she passed by the fourth uncle and went home with the second uncle, second aunt and fourth uncle.

Qi Baoer left as soon as she said, without any nostalgia.

Early the next morning, he took only twelve and left in a carriage.

Neither Lu Tongpan nor Jiangxian Cheng came to see him off. It wasn't their rudeness, but the yamen had another case in the middle of last night, and a dead body was found in the yard next to Dr. Wei's medical clinic.

Because Ping'an Town has been relatively safe for the past ten years, at least the people in the town live in peace of mind. There are many people who don't close their doors at night, and there are not many people who return home until midnight, but there are some.

The people who were on watch that night did not find anything unusual on the road, and a few people who returned home in the middle of the night did not encounter any strange things on the road.

On the premise that the person wearing the ghost costume was known to go to the medical hall to scare the Ma family, both Lu Tongjuan and Jiang Xiancheng unanimously decided to search radially outward from the medical hall. People hid near the medical hall before sneaking into the medical hall.

This investigation, good guy, in the small courtyard next to the hospital, a young man in his twenties was suspected to have been dead for three or four days, and it was because of the weather that the corpse smelled only when he got close.

A rough calculation shows that the young man's death time is very close to the time when someone went to the hospital to pretend to be a ghost.
