Twin Brocade

Chapter 816 Lead the way
On the open space next to Chen San, two indentations slowly appeared and gradually took shape.It's like, it's the knee marks left by an adult kneeling on the ground.

This place is no better than in the lobby of the state capital, it is paved with high-quality blue bricks.

The ground used as the court is an open space in the middle of Caishikou.After cleaning, there is still floating soil remaining, and the soil itself is not hard enough.

The newly revealed traces on the ground, although not deep, are so obvious in the eyes of everyone.

All the people watching took a breath and took a step back.

However, more terrible things are yet to come.

Just in front of the trace, about two feet away, a glaring drop of blood slowly smeared, forming a bloodstain the size of a copper coin.

And in those surroundings, apart from Chen San, there was only air.

Not to mention that the people watching the commotion all around were too frightened to make a sound, even the yamen servant who was holding a water and fire stick couldn't help but change his face.

Even in broad daylight, everyone felt a chill.

The complexion of the middle-aged man in the crowd suddenly turned pale.The previously calm expression disappeared without a trace, and the hands on both sides curled up unnaturally.

Could it be that there are really lingering souls in this world?
Among all the people, only Chen Sanyi was ecstatic. He wiped away the tears on his face and shouted: "My lord! My lord!"

"Did you see it? Cao Min didn't lie, he's right there!"

Quan Moxian looked at the bloodstain, got up from the official chair, and walked to the front of the hall.Haifeng took a step forward, stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Young master, please be careful."

That is a wicked ghost, who knows what he will do.

Quan Moxian blocked his hand and said: "When an official is in charge of the people, even if he is a ghost, he is also our Gaomang's ghost. Since there is a grievance, this official has the obligation to avenge him."

Haifeng stepped aside, and everyone showed admiration on their faces.

When everyone is retreating, he is moving forward alone.

In good spirits.

Quan Moxian walked up to the bloodstain, and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, what is your name and what is wrong with you?"

Chen San hastily repeated his words for the innocent ghost to listen to.

Then he listened intently for a long while, and then said angrily, "My lord, Caomin couldn't hear him. He was very anxious, but Caomin couldn't read his mouth either."

"After all, yin and yang are separated." Quan Moxian sighed.

All the onlookers were anxious, waiting for the progress of the matter, to see how this young doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice would solve this unprecedented ghost case.

Quan Moxian walked a few steps on the spot, and said: "Chen San, tell him to let him lead the way to the place where he was killed that day."

Chen San nodded repeatedly, told the ghost, and then happily said: "My lord, he nodded!"

"Okay, you lead the way."

Quan Moxian ordered the yamen servant to clear the way first, Chen San got up from the ground, walked in front and led the way, and he followed closely behind.

Haifeng carefully put the two official seals on the case in his arms, and arranged for several people to stay and watch the courtroom set up here.

Today's Bozhou City is destined to be full of strange things, and the scene in front of me is the most amazing.

A ragged grass man walked in the front, escorted by government officials and arresters on both sides.Followed by a fifth-rank Beijing official, followed by a large group of common people at the end.

A mighty group of people were walking in the city.

The route Chen San took was a bit strange. He first came to the gate of the city.When everyone thought he was going out of town, he turned back and walked another way.

"My lord, Cao Min feels that he is re-walking the road that he used to enter the city."

Quan Moxian nodded, and said: "From this point of view, he must not be a citizen of Bozhou, but passed by here. Otherwise, the prefect Xia received a report of missing persons early in the morning."

He reasoned like this, and the people behind him deeply believed it.

The local people have registered their household registration, and there are also relatives and friends in the neighborhood.How could the disappearance of such a large living person not cause any waves?
Must be an outsider.

Chen San walked fast and slow for a while, and stayed at an early morning stall for a while.It's like a person who has just entered the city, because he is not familiar with the road, he keeps asking while moving forward.

As Chen San continued to move forward, the middle-aged man's face became more and more ugly.

He waved his hand, and a strong man left him and disappeared into the houses on both sides.

After entering the city, after making two turns, Chen San made a firm goal and headed west of the city all the way.

"My lord, this seems to be the way our theater troupe used to go to the concert." Chen San reported to Quan Moxian.

Quan Moxian focused his gaze, and said, "You continue."

The two were about to move on, when suddenly, Haifeng shouted: "Who is it?!"

He pulled out the treasured sword he was wearing with a "swish", only to hear a "ding" sound, and shot down a crossbow arrow roaring towards Chen San.The force of that crossbow arrow was so strong that the sword in Haifeng's hand kept buzzing, and it trembled for a long time before it stopped.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone on the spot.

Who is this?
Such audacity!

"There!" Haifeng pointed to a roof in the east.There, there was a figure who seemed to disappear from everyone's sight.

"All of you, chase after me!" Quan Moxian shouted coldly.

"Yes, my lord." Several detectives assigned by him quickly formed a small team and chased after the man where he disappeared.

"My lord, this must be the murderer who killed him! Seeing the incident happened, I wanted to kill him to silence him." Haifeng's voice was so loud that the people following behind could hear him clearly.

The crowd was shocked at first, and when they heard Haifeng's words, they exploded like water splashing into a frying pan.

"This murderer is too arrogant, he dares to commit crimes in broad daylight."

"Your Excellency must arrest him! Such a murderer and villain are in the city, and we can't sleep well."

"Fortunately, Chen San is fine, otherwise the murderer would not have been caught!"

"Yes, yes!" Everyone echoed, "The murderer must have come to kill when he was about to reveal his secrets."

Quan Moxian turned around and looked at the crowd, standing taller than pines and cypresses, cupped his fists and said, "Everyone!"

Everyone slowly quieted down.

"I, Quan Moxian, hereby assure you that the murderer will be brought to justice!" Quan Moxian's voice was not loud, but he was resolute, and no one could doubt his confidence.

"lead the way!"

Quan Moxian shouted in a deep voice.

Chen San shivered and looked around anxiously.I was afraid that in the next second, another person who wanted his life would appear.

"You lead the way well, I guarantee that no one will hurt you." Haifeng walked to his side, holding a sword to protect him.

Only then did he feel relieved and lead the way seriously.

As soon as they left, they went straight to the house where they were invited to sing at that day.

"My lord, he's gone in." Chen San stopped in front of the door, pointed to the red lacquered door, and said.
