The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 1249 The fog is heavy
In the next few days, another seven or eight strong men were killed one after another in Wangcheng and the surrounding villages and towns, causing complaints from all the people.

For this reason, the royal family also began to exert pressure, ordering all the guards to hunt down the murdered goblin.

As the commander in chief, Zhang He was naturally under a lot of pressure. He called together the captains of the palace guards and reprimanded them, and asked them to lead the team to act separately and catch the monster as quickly as possible.

And this incident made Meng Xiu feel extremely heavy.

Because he already smelled something unusual from Zhang He's words and demeanor.

He felt that Zhang He would probably take advantage of this demon incident and take the opportunity to deal with him.

Meng Xiu's thoughts were guessed by Hua Xiaolou.

So he comforted him and said: "Captain Meng, with such a boss who is staring at you like a tiger, you are not happy with what you are doing, you might as well leave the palace. With your ability, you don't have to worry about being reused."

Meng Xiu smiled bitterly: "But, if I really leave, then it will be difficult for me to cheer up in the future. After working hard for many years, I finally got to the current position. Would you be willing to give up so easily?"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Hua Xiaolou nodded thoughtfully.

Then he said: "Then, let's find a way to solve this strange case as soon as possible, so that you have made a great contribution and will be valued by the royal family."

"I think so too, but this monster comes and goes without a trace, and it is not an easy task to catch it."

At this time, Tang Xiaowan couldn't help saying: "Actually, I discovered a pattern..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiu and Hua Xiaolou looked over in surprise.

"What rule?"

"The last time we went to the market town for the first time, when I was in the crowd of onlookers, I heard some people discussing that the man who died was punished.

I just kept an eye on it, these few days when I have nothing to do, I deliberately went to some women's crowd..."

"Ha, let me just say, Xiao Wan, why do you like chatting with aunt? It turns out that you have a purpose."

"Hmph, of course, but I haven't told you yet, because I'm not sure yet. However, I think my guess is more likely, so I'll tell you about it.

According to some news I heard, the man who was found dead was almost all a womanizer with a lot of bad deeds, and one even became a famous villain.

So, should you gather the information of all the dead men now, check the details of these men, and stop focusing on catching monsters all day long. "

"Oh?" Meng Xiu's eyes lit up: "You mean, most of these men deserved to die? So the goblin has a purpose in harming people? Is it for the people?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Tang Xiaowan nodded.

"It makes sense. If this is the case, then the direction of our investigation has a purpose. In this way, we will go back immediately and collect and analyze the information of all the deceased."

"Row!"

The incident this time was not entirely investigated by Meng Xiu. He was mainly responsible for the south of the city.Therefore, now we need to find other sub-captains to obtain the information of all the deceased.

After getting the information, Meng Xiu, Hua Xiaolou and Tang Xiaowan started secret investigations respectively.

Of course, the secret investigation cannot be carried out as a palace guard, so the three of them disguised themselves and deliberately approached some people who were familiar with the deceased.

"Wang Aniu... well, how should I put it... it can be regarded as his retribution..."

"This kid is a butcher. He has a black heart and earned a lot of black money. He has a beautiful wife and two concubines. Shouldn't he be content?"

"But, this guy hooked up with his cousin again... His cousin-in-law found out later, this guy pretended to repent, but in the end he tricked his cousin-in-law into a place haunted by monsters..."

"Everyone around here knows about this. This guy goes around hooking up with women all day long, which makes people hate him..."

"What? You asked about Shunzi? This person is dead..."

"Okay, let me tell you something. In fact, Shunzi was fine before, and got along well with everyone. Then his wife ran away with someone, and this kid started to turn bad."

"As far as I know, this guy hooked up with no less than ten women, all married women, and they didn't repent after being beaten to death..."

"Big Liu? Don't mention him, this guy should have died long ago..."

After a few days of hard work by the three of Hua Xiaolou, they got to know all the more than [-] people who died recently, and the results were surprising, as they all had bad deeds.

So, is it really possible to be retribution?

But if it is really retribution, the people will not complain.The main reason is that the death of the deceased is too scary, and people will inevitably panic.

And this monster is indeed supernatural, even Hua Xiaolou didn't find any clues.

However, after this investigation, at any rate, there is a little direction.

So Hua Xiaolou began to analyze carefully with Meng Xiu, and asked if there were any monsters around Wangcheng.

Meng Xiu said: "More than a thousand miles away from the royal city, there is a rootless mountain. There are tall mountains and dense forests. There are monsters and elves who cultivate human form."

So Hua Xiaolou said, "Why don't we go and check it out."

Just when the three of them decided to go to investigate the next day, another murder occurred in Wangcheng, this time five people died at once.

Among them, there are two in the south of the city that Meng Xiu is in charge of.

Meng Xiu hurried to the scene with a group of subordinates to investigate. After arriving at the scene, Meng Xiu was taken aback because he also knew one of the deceased, named Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong is a businessman, he has always been well-known, and he often has contacts with the palace. Qin Zhong has always been supplying grain, oil, vegetables, etc. for the guards.

Meng Xiu was a little startled at this moment.

Because the deceased he and Hua Xiaolou went to investigate before all had bad deeds.And Qin Zhong, according to his understanding, can be regarded as a good old man.

Although there are also two concubines, they are all married by the Ming Dynasty. It has never been heard that he went out to hook up with other women, and he never went shopping in brothels.

So what's going on?Could it be that Qin Zhong is not what he is?

However, after some inquiries and investigations, whether it was Qin Zhong's family members, servants, or some neighbors, they were all complaining for Qin Zhong.

In the eyes of many people, Qin Zhong is a kind person who never does anything ignorant of his conscience.

Next, Qin Zhong went to investigate another deceased named Fang Yuan.After checking, Fang Yuan's reputation is also very good, almost no one speaks ill of him.

This put Mengxiu in a difficult situation.

According to the results of his previous investigation with Hua Xiaolou and Tang Xiaowan, he thought he had found the direction to solve the case, and thought it was a case of revenge against some wicked people.

Unexpectedly, now the peak has turned.

That night, Meng Xiu and Hua Xiaolou sat together and discussed the matter.

"Brother, our previous conclusions have been overturned all of a sudden, which makes people confused."

Hua Xiaolou sighed: "Well, let's investigate the other three deceased tomorrow to see what happened."

"it is good!"

Meng Xiu nodded.
