next morning

"Bang! Bang! Brother Deng! Brother Deng! Are you still getting up?!"

Waking up suddenly, looking around, the traces on the bed are still there, but the hawk has long disappeared, "Come on! Come!" Get up with difficulty, sure enough, excessive indulgence is really not something ordinary people can bear.

"Quick, those men in black may make big moves these days, we must act before they do!" Chu Li said anxiously as he pulled Deng Feiyu out of the room.

"Slow down! Slow down!" The wound hadn't healed, but when he ran, it felt like it was being torn apart, and he was sweating in pain, but there was nothing he could do. Deng Feiyu had no choice but to trot along with him to the morgue. Xia Guangling had already Where are you waiting.

"Morning, brother Deng, Mr. Chu!"

"Morning Doctor Xia! The county magistrate said that someone will replace Wu Zuo to assist us, so it is you." It seemed that he and Xia Guangling had known each other for a long time, and Chu Li's tone was very familiar.

"Brother Xia, I don't know what you think of them"

The position of the shroud was shifted, and it was obvious that it had been checked. Hearing this, Xia Guangling nodded slightly, and Xia Guangling's tone hesitated.

"But why?"

"Look."

Casually flipping aside the nearest corpse, bursts of corpse stench came over the face immediately, "I'm going, it stinks! How long have they been sitting here!" Covering his mouth and nose furiously, Chu Li almost vomited it out.

"It is true that the corpses have begun to rot, but it is precisely because their skins have festered and their bones are exposed, which further verifies my guess." While speaking, Xia Guangling has already pulled up one of the hands of the corpses. "The lower parts of their phalanges are deformed. , although the degrees are not the same, but the positions are amazingly consistent, which may be caused by long-term grasping of iron or hard objects; moreover, they all have bone spurs on their heels, and judging from the degree of wear and tear, the time should be almost the same."

"The phalanges are deformed and there are bone spurs on the feet. That must be hard work, right? Holding iron tools for a long time...they must have been soldiers!" scratching his head, Chu Li guessed.

"It's not like, soldiers holding spears should have thick calluses on their palms, it is impossible to deform the finger bones, and if they want to march for a long time, there will be signs of wear on the soles of their feet."

"Then... could it be a blacksmith or a carpenter who dances hammers and sticks all day long without having to travel so much?"

"If you don't walk, you won't form bone spurs?" Disputing Chu Li's answer, Deng Feiyu frowned. "They want to form bone spurs and can't walk for a long time. What are they doing?"

"I said, is it possible that they are digging and carrying something? The shovel and the like are held almost exactly against the lower part of the phalanx. If the force is too strong, it can also cause bone deformation, and if you drag a heavy object for a long time, it is also extremely dangerous. It is prone to bone spurs." Seeing that both of them had no clue, Xia Guangling said slowly.

"Well, that's indeed the most likely scenario. With that, we can presumably find some people who are doing this sort of thing, and compare their marks to those on the corpses...uh!!!" Point of Appreciation Nodding her head, she was about to say something more, when a severe colic suddenly swept through Deng Feiyu's lower abdomen crazily.

"Brother Deng, are you okay?" Seeing his sudden pale face, Chu Li worried.

"No, no, my stomach hurts a little, you go ahead, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

"Hey ~ Brother Deng is too acclimatized." The hurried figure disappeared into the depths of the yard in an instant, loosening his neck boredly, Chu Li said helplessly.

"Aren't you acclimatized?" Xia Guangling muttered to himself with complicated eyes.

After coming out of the latrine, thinking of the things that flowed out of his body, Deng Feiyu really wanted to kill the hawk. He straightened his clothes and hurried back to the morgue, only to find that the building was already empty. He asked the guards It turns out that shortly after he left, the Liuzhou order sent someone to invite him, saying that a suspect wanted to commit suicide in prison, but fortunately he was stopped by the jailer, so Chu Li and Xia Guangling rushed over to avoid further changes. up.

"Phew~ It's really a wave of unrest and another wave. By the way, tell you adults, give the detailed files of the victims... Plop!"

"Hehe, Mr. Deng, you are really easy to find~" Slowly falling, holding Deng Feiyu on his shoulders, the black shadow hastily disappeared on the roof...

In prison

"Tell me! What's your name, why did you commit suicide!" Chu Li threatened while pinching the man's chin with one hand.

"..."

"It's tough, isn't it? Hmph! I'd like to see, young master, do you mean to say it, or not to say it..." The palm of the hand exerted force, and the crackling sound echoed in the silent cell, "Stop! Mr. Chu, If you try harder, his jaw will really be crushed." Really unable to bear the expression of the man's death, Xia Guangling couldn't help but stop him.

"He asked for all these, I just want him to tell the truth." An eagerness flashed in his eyes, Chu Li's tone was serious, completely different from his usual foolish appearance.

"Ah!!! Forgive, spare, I say, I say everything!" Tieda's body couldn't stand the torture, and he couldn't stand the torture, so the man finally let go, "My name is Zeng He, and I'm a bodyguard from Huwei Escort Bureau. Teacher, the reason why I committed suicide was because someone threatened me with my wife and children, and if I didn’t do what they said, I would kill them.”

"Then kill yourself what they want you to do"

"No, there is still a blood book." Fumbling to take out a stack of origami from his arms, Chu Li snatched it away before he could speak, "So that's how it is, they want you to bear all the crimes, and then die without proof Yeah?!"

"My lord, please spare my life! Please, please save Huiqin and the others! Little ones, even if they are like cows and horses, they will repay your great kindness!" Zeng He fell to his knees with a plop, and Zeng He kowtowed like garlic.

"Get up first, and tell us everything that happened before you were arrested, so we can help you." Gently helped Zeng He up, looked at Chu Li who was concentrating on the blood book, Xia Guangling coughed twice "Young Master Chu, it's hard to tell whether the information on the blood book is true or not, so let's just listen to what he has to say."

It turned out that Zeng He was just an unlucky ghost who drank too much and slept on the street at night. He didn't want to encounter the scene where the man in black chased and killed the victim and beheaded him; Thinking that the government will investigate sooner or later, it is better to leave a scapegoat, and threaten the lives of the whole family, ordering him to dispose of the body; as a result, as soon as the man in black left, Zeng He was caught by the night watchman. This time it was even more difficult to argue, so I had to pretend to be crazy and foolish, and it was a day to day.

"I don't know what's going on with the others, but the little one really didn't kill anyone! Besides, my brother-in-law was murdered just a few days ago, so how could I attack my own brother!" The simplicity of the matter was unimaginable, Seeing doubts on the faces of the two, Zeng He became even more terrified, "I swear to the sky, if there is a joke, I will be hit by lightning and smashed to pieces, and I will die a bad death!"

"Don't rush to swear, tell us about your brother-in-law."

"My lord, Yixiong is the same bodyguard of Huwei Bodyguard Bureau as I am, but his martial arts is better than mine, and his qualifications are older than mine, so he is usually in charge of more important goods, while I mainly travel to nearby counties." Glancing at the expressions of the few people, Zeng He continued, "Just one month ago, when I arrived in Linxian County as a escort, I received a letter from my brothers Feige saying that his righteous brother was killed, and even his eyeballs were bruised." Gouging it out, I hurried back overnight, but I didn't even have time to see the dead brother's body."

"Then did he mention to you before that he was in charge of someone's dart?"

"No, his wife was not feeling well in those few days. He happened to ask for leave to accompany her, so he didn't have any tasks." Shaking his head, the grief and anger in Zeng He's eyes became even worse. How long does it take to go with him?"

"What? You mean his wife died too?!"

"Well, the two of them have only been married for half a year, and they hanged themselves like this, hey..."

"It's a bit strange." Looking at each other, both of them looked serious, "But someone knows his whereabouts in those few days?" After pondering for a moment, Xia Guangling looked at Zeng He.

"Few people probably know that most of the neighbors near his house are traders. They leave early and return late, and they don't see each other a few times a year."

"Then did he ever tell you about his past?"

"This..." After a while, Zeng He's expression was a bit strange, "Speaking of which, he came to Liuzhou two years earlier than me, but I have known him for two years, but I have never heard him mention the past. Only one time when he drank too much, he cried to me in a daze and told me that he escaped from hell with his life, and he said it many times before he managed to fall asleep."

"Hell...does it mean that they stay underground?" Chu Li scratched his head with doubts on his face.

"I don't know, but now the clues are cut off." His brows furrowed deeply, and Xia Guangling was at a loss for what to do. "It's a pity that brother Deng is not here. Otherwise, if what he said is true or false, we will have to discuss it personally."

"That's right, did Brother Deng fall into the latrine? It's almost dark, and there's no one there yet."

"My lord! My lord! It's bad, the morgue is on fire!" The noise suddenly turned from far to near, and the jailer was out of breath.

"what?!"
