Fu Sheng was about to run forward when he was stopped by Pei Rongbai:

"Don't go there, people who leave will easily destroy the clues left by the murderer."

Only then did Fu Sheng stop and stand outside.

"Brother Fu, is this person from your family?" Qiao Zeyu asked.

"Exactly, he is a servant in my house." Fu Sheng seemed to still not be able to believe that the murder happened in his house, with a face full of disbelief, "His name is Sun Teng. He has been here since I arrived here."He followed me when he was the county magistrate, but now...now actually..."

Pei Rongbai patted him on the shoulder and said: "You immediately call your arrester and foreman, and investigate the scene first."

"Okay." Fu Sheng suppressed the sadness on his face, turned around and told the housekeeper.

Pei Rongbai walked to the side of the cook who had been helped aside, squatted down, and asked, "Don't be afraid, cook, I'll ask you a few words."

The cook was called out and was rewarded by Pei Rongbai because she did a good job just now. She was grateful to Pei Rongbai, so although she was still terrified, she still tremblingly replied: "Excuse me."

"How did you find Sun Teng?"

"I, I got up at night and went to the latrine... I suddenly remembered that the red bean stuffing in the kitchen hadn't been put in the cupboard. I thought I would make some snacks for the nobles tomorrow morning. I was afraid of mice, so I wanted to put it away in the kitchen.As soon as I came here, I saw a person lying there from a distance... I, I also saw a white shadow flashing past... It must be the demon fox, it must be it again!" The cook's face turned pale when she said thisWhen he got up, it was obvious that he was quite frightened.

"White shadow? Can you describe in detail what kind of white shadow it is?" Fu Sheng asked, "It's about the size of a fox?"

"That's right, it's like a fox, but it's bigger than ordinary foxes..." The cook trembled when she thought of that scene, her hands clutched her clothes tightly, her face was very ugly, "I also saw it was green.My eyes are gone, it's scary..."

Qiao Songyu was listening, but felt the cold on the back of her neck, and hurriedly hid behind Qiao Zeyu.

"Then why did that shadow flicker? Where did it go?" Pei Rongbai asked patiently.

"It's just...it was next to Sun Teng, but it flashed from his side to the wall, and then disappeared." The cook said while pointing to the courtyard wall on one side.

Pei Rongbai got up, and winked at one of the guards. The guard immediately nodded, stepped down, and flew to the wall. The other guard handed him the lantern in a tacit cooperation.

The guard on the wall shone a lantern on the wall, then on the bottom of the wall, and said: "Yes, it's half a footprint of a person, on the road outside."

Pei Rongbai immediately said: "Take a sample."

"yes!"

Hearing this, Qiao Zeyu couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said to Qiao Songyu behind him: "Look at Song'er, there is no demon fox, but this person, the fox's tail is finally showing." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at MingHe was empty, but saw him bowing his head and chanting sutras, as if he was praying for Sun Teng.With a thought in his mind, he felt some strange feelings.

Qiao Songyu also immediately got bolder, walked a few steps behind Qiao Zeyu, and said, "Then why is he pretending to be some kind of demon fox and killing people?! It's frightening to death."

"It's confusing people!" Qiao Zeyu turned his head and smiled, "You see, it's fortunate that someone like Brother Fu became the governor. If it were someone else, they might really think it was the fox who killed the man, so let's just let it go."

"That's true." Qiao Songyu nodded in agreement.

Just as he was talking, Wu Zuo and the arrester came in a hurry. Wu Zuo was a very young man, no more than 23 or 24 years old, and he was very handsome, but his movements looked very sophisticated, and he turned over the corpse on the spotCheck it out.

"It's been less than half an hour since he died, and he was also strangled, with fox fur on his neck... I have to go back to the yamen for a thorough inspection." Wu Zuo got up and said, his face was still cold and expressionless.

"This is the author of our Yangcheng City, named Li Cheng." Fu Sheng introduced.

"This foreman is very young." Qiao Songyu couldn't help sighing, "It's amazing!"

Li Cheng glanced at Qiao Songyu, and then, as if he hadn't seen Qiao Songyu's beauty, turned his eyes away expressionlessly, and said, "It's too good."

Coincidentally, the two police officers on the side had also finished their inspections, and they reported: "Masters, I have checked it, and there is nothing abnormal around, and there are no other clues."

"Impossible." Li Cheng said suddenly. He looked at one of the arresters and said quickly, "Chen Fang, look, the ground is made of dirt, not bluestone. Sun Teng would definitely struggle when he was strangled to death.Rubbing on the dirt, it is impossible that there is no abnormality!"

Qiao Zeyu was very curious when he heard it, and bent down with a lantern to take a picture around the corpse, and then said in surprise, "There are really no traces!"

"Why do you have to rub on the dirt?" Qiao Songyu asked puzzled.

"It's like this." Li Cheng suddenly turned his back to the arrester named Chen Fang, and made a gesture of strangling the rope with both hands, and Chen Fang also cooperatively pretended to be strangled by the neck. Qiao Songyu saw it and found thatThe feet must be on the ground.

"There are no traces, and there are only two explanations. First, the murderer is much taller than Sun Teng, but Sun Teng is already tall, and there should be very few people taller than him; second, this is not the place where Sun Teng was strangled to death.", the murderer moved him here after killing him." Pei Rongbai analyzed.

"Then where will he be killed?" Qiao Songyu asked.

"That's not the point, is it?" Qiao Zeyu said, "The point should be why the murderer chose the most dangerous place to attack this time? The murderer actually came to the government, isn't the murderer too courageous?"

"En." Pei Rongbai nodded, and concluded, "The murderer is bold and careful, and he is a very smart person."

Also a very difficult person to deal with.

"Eh?" Qiao Songyu looked around suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Pei Rongbai asked.

"Don't you think it's weird? It seems something is missing..." Qiao Songyu clapped his hands suddenly and said, "By the way, there is someone missing!"

"Who is missing?" Qiao Zeyu looked bewildered.

"Rongxuan!" Qiao Songyu said, "Look, we are all here, except Rongxuan!"

"Ah? Then is he in danger?" Qiao Zeyu asked worriedly.What if the fox demon killed Pei Rongxuan again if it wasn't enough to kill him?

"No, we have hidden guards." Pei Rongbai shook his head, a little helpless, "He should have fallen asleep, and he slept in Beiyuan, so he might not have heard the sound..."

When Pei Rongbai said this, he suddenly stopped talking, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Qiao Songyu couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, forget it, it's getting late, let's talk about everything tomorrow."

"Well, let me take care of the aftermath here, everyone go back to rest first." Fu Sheng said respectfully.

Everyone was too sleepy, after all, they had driven for a long time today, and it was late now, so they all went back to rest.

Nothing to say all night.
