The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak
Chapter 124 The Case of the Headless Corpse
"Coming from out of town." The boss seemed to be a little shy about these topics.
After all, it is a murder case, and the government is now one of the top two. If they can't find out the reason, they may not even be able to protect their heads.
If any more rumors spread and make people panic, I'm afraid they'll be arrested, and even saying one more word will get me into trouble.
"Yes, we are from out of town." Seeing his cautious eyes, Wen Jiu nodded deliberately pretending to be curious.
"I said the carriage came from out of town."
"."
Wen Jiu picked up the cup and pretended to take a sip, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Soon the boss went to serve tea to others.
"This is strange. Why do you want to dump the body here?"
Wen Jiu put down his tea cup and looked at Jiang Yaoxi with confusion.
"That's a good question, but I don't know either, senior sister."
Jiang Yaoxi thinks that her ghost-catching skills are far superior to Wen Jiu's, but her ability to solve crimes is really average.
"There are no missing people in this town. The corpses from outside the carriage are parked in a not so hidden place in the suburbs."
Jiang Yaoxi knocked on the table: "Don't think about it now, put your heart back in your stomach, and take a good rest first. Senior brother must have already been checking."
Since the two headless ghosts didn't follow them, they must have followed Su Shi.
Otherwise, she would never have thought of the reason why her senior brother would take action for no reason.
And not only was there no missing person in this town, but someone just said that no one was even reported missing in the nearby town.
In this case, how far will this corpse be transported from? Will it not stink?
After drinking tea, the two stood up again and walked a few times to the lively place.
There are two things being discussed in this town right now.
One is the headless corpse case.
Second, the two most beautiful girls in this town were both spotted by wealthy families in Yanyang City, and they were picked up one after the other.
Things of great joy and great sorrow.
Su Shi followed the headless ghost for a while, but only reached the place where the body was dumped, and found nothing else.
It seems that it is just an ordinary dumping of corpses and there is no fear of investigation by the authorities.
The three of them sat in the inn without any clues.
"Did you find out anything today?" Su Shi raised his eyes and looked at Wen Jiu and Jiang Yaoxi with expressionless faces.
“The noodles on West Street are the best.”
“The pancakes in Dongshi are also good.”
“Grandma Wang’s wontons have more fillings than Grandma Li’s wontons.”
"The daughter of the Tofu Wang family is prettier than the girl from the tailor Li family."
"The key point." Su Shi pressed his eyebrows, "Tell me the key point."
Wen Jiu turned his head and looked at Su Shi seriously: "Brother, I think this case is difficult to solve. The ghost hunting order is making things difficult for me."
It's better not to.
"Once you make a promise, it's hard to keep it back. Once you make a promise, you must keep it."
"It should be the senior brother who agreed to those two female ghosts." Jiang Yaoxi said lukewarmly.
"It's you and Xiaojiu who promised to senior brother." Su Shiqian raised his eyelids.
"It's Xiaojiu, not me." Jiang Taoxi retorted.
"Anyway, after we solve this case, we will return to Qingyun Mountain. We will definitely not delay."
Su Shi looked at the two people's lack of interest and made the final decision.
Jiang Yaoxi asked the waiter to serve some more dishes.
How to relieve worries? Only good food.
In the next two or three days, the three of them spent their time in this town without any clues.
That day, Wen Jiu leaned against the window and looked at the occasional carriage passing by downstairs, as if he had thought of something.
She ran out quickly and knocked on the door next door.
"Brother! I have a problem!"
Su Shi opened the door quickly, with bloodshot eyes. Sure enough, those two headless ghosts are really here. No wonder I haven't seen them in recent days.
"What's the matter?" Su Shi asked with a frown.
"Senior brother, have you ever seen the carriage where the body was dumped?"
Su Shi was stunned, "The carriage should be at the government office now."
"Perhaps we can start with the carriage and find some clues."
The headless ghost only knows how to find his head and almost doesn't remember anything else.
"Then let's go take a look later. There is no other way."
Now we can only have one clue and chase one clue.
Night falls.
On normal days, the vendors close their stalls early, except for some noodle stalls where people are still sitting eating noodles.
The three of them walked hurriedly on the road. Now they could not enter the government office openly and had to climb over the wall.
The introductory skill for Qingyun Mountain disciples - climbing over the wall.
The guards here were not very tight. The three of them jumped up from the darkness, lying on the eaves and looking at the carriage in the courtyard.
"How long are we going to guard this carriage?"
There were two officers and soldiers in the yard. One of them had a swollen belly and looked like he was carrying wine and food.
"The case must be solved. I have been guarding this carriage day and night, and I feel very nervous. I always feel that something will get out of it."
"Then when will the case be solved? The bodies are not here, so it doesn't scare us."
"This case, like this body, has no clue."
Wen Jiu stared at the carriage in the courtyard and felt that it looked familiar.
She seemed to have thought of something: "Senior sister, you should have seen that carriage that day, right?"
"I saw it."
"Is it the same as this car?"
"Exactly the same."
"What does the coachman look like?"
"Didn't see clearly."
The coachman was wearing a bamboo hat, with the brim of his hat pushed down so low that only his chin with green stubble could be seen.
Neither Wen Jiu nor Jiang Yaoxi saw it clearly.
Could it be that the girl in the car died that day?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu couldn't help but tremble.
No wonder there was only one headless ghost when we entered the city, but one night later there was one more.
"Why don't you go see the body?"
"Ah?" Wen Jiu and Jiang Yaoxi looked at each other.
"The corpse is exactly the same as the two ghosts standing in the courtyard. What are you afraid of?"
"This can be seen but not touched, and the corpse can be seen, touched or smelled. They are not the same thing." Jiang Yaoxi quickly shook her head.
Wen Jiu watched the two headless ghosts walking around and around the carriage, and his mind started to heat up: "Then let's go and have a look. We can help them find their heads as soon as possible, so that they can go to reincarnation with peace of mind. Now they haven't found them." If I lack something, I’m afraid I won’t want to leave.”
The three of them hurried back to where the bodies were placed.
The guard here was outside, and the three of them easily climbed into the house.
Wen Jiu watched his senior brother lift the white cloth, and there was really no difference.
She averted her eyes and tried not to look at the place where the knife cut off her neck.
She stared at the hand of the corpse for a while, then went to uncover the other corpse.
"You see there are calluses on their hands, but why are there calluses in these places? It seems they are not the place to practice swords and hold pens."
Su Shi frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.
"You said that day that two women in the town were picked up by wealthy families?"
"Yes, from the Tofu King and the Tailor Li family." Jiang Yaoxi said.
"Look at the calluses on my hands, do they look like they were left after grinding and holding needles?"
Su Shi boldly stated his guess.
