Chapter 1002 Another homicide

After a while, a government officer rode his horse through the crowd, leaving the searching team behind with the words "Hurry and report to Mr. Cao, another headless corpse has been fished out of the moat!", and then rode away.

again? !

Besides Miao Xiaoer, was anyone else brutally murdered?

Ji Fanyin pondered for a moment and walked towards the moat.

On the same day, two murders occurred in Mu Xuecheng.

At this moment, both sides of the river bank were crowded with people watching the excitement.

After receiving the report, Cao Bo's people immediately set up a cordon with ropes, placed the salvaged body on a stretcher, and covered it tightly with white cloth.

Cao Bo's confidant Wang Ming rushed to the scene first.

She personally inspected the body and questioned the reporter in detail. As soon as she got some clues, Cao Bo arrived.

She quickly went up to him, held the cordon and raised it to make it easier for Cao Bo to come in. At the same time, she whispered:
"Sir, the reporter is a fisherman hired by the Yamen and is responsible for securing this part of the moat."

Cao Bo's expression turned extremely ugly. As he walked towards the corpse, he asked:

"Employed by the Yamen?"

Wang Ming lowered his voice and replied:
"After Minister Miao left our place, he also went to the Yamen in this area with the Queen's instructions. He ordered a carpet search to find Miao Xiaoer's head. The Yamen didn't have enough manpower, so they hired a few fishermen on their own initiative. Farmer, specialized in salvage water operations.”

"Idiot! Are they afraid that people in the city won't know that a murder occurred here? Such a big fanfare of salvage? Did they really salvage another headless corpse?" Cao Bo sneered: "What happened in the city this year? The murder case is not limited to Miao Xiaoer's case? Did the nobles in the palace use too much salt in their meals today? Are you so busy with your time?"

"Ahem! Sir, be careful what you say."

Cao Bo also knew how much trouble would arise if his words were heard by interested people, but he had been feeling angry all day long, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in.

"Just think I just farted."

Cao Bo responded casually, walked over, lifted up a corner of the white cloth, and only took a glance. His pupils trembled, and his face suddenly darkened again and again.

Wang Ming noticed his expression and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what's wrong?"

Cao Bo lowered his voice:
"Same technique."

Wang Ming was shocked: "Could it be..."

Cao Bo frowned: "I'm not sure yet. Let's take the body back first and let him check it carefully."

"Yes."

Wang Ming immediately called people over to carry the stretcher.

At this time, a gust of wind swept across the lake and suddenly lifted up the white cloth covering the body in full view.

Everyone immediately opened their eyes.

Cao Bo had quick eyes and quick hands. At the same moment that the white cloth was picked up by the wind, he quickly pulled down the white cloth.

what--

The crowd was disappointed.

Beside the river bank, Ji Fanyin stood on the eaves and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cao Bo reacted quickly, but she still saw it.

The strangulation marks on the neck of the headless corpse overlapped and penetrated deep into the skin.

It was very similar to Miao Xiaoer's death.

Ji Fanyin stood at a high place and paid close attention to Cao Bo's expression. He first jumped to the boat docked and carefully inspected the fishing net used to catch people, and then returned to the grass on the shore.

Like looking for something.

Suddenly, Cao Bo's movements stopped, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wrapped something, and handed it to Wang Ming who was standing aside and gave a few instructions.

Wang Ming walked out of the cordon, jumped on his horse, and left in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion.

Cao Bo's face was tense, and he was facing the sparkling moat. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, when he turned around, he looked across the river with sharp eyes.

The feeling of being spied on made him extremely uncomfortable.
