In July of the 17th year of Zhenguan, the civil rumor sent a whisper to kill people to sacrifice to the heavenly dogs, saying: When he came, he wore dog skin and iron claws, and he would always take people's hearts and livers away in secret. Therefore, he was even more shocked and disturbed each other every night, and he would lead his bow to defend himself. Those who had no weapons did it, and did not dare to walk alone in the suburbs. Emperor Taizong hated it and ordered the doors of the yard to open all night and issued an order to comfort the emperor, but it stopped for more than a month.

The above records are from "New Book of Tang". Not to mention whether there are monsters like Shigui, the impact of this kind of rumors alone is very serious. The people dare not sleep at night, and even hold bows and arrows in their hands to protect themselves. People without bows and arrows simply use bamboo as weapons and dare not leave the city in broad daylight, and the entire Chang'an City fell into a sense of panic.

It was also because of the precedents during the Zhenguan period that when a serial murder case similar to a ghost occurred in Chang'an City again, the first thing that yamen at all levels thought of was to block the news, and what they were afraid of was to cause panic among the people.

However, the case has finally been solved. Zhang Zong and Xue Shao followed the bad guys who reported the news to the southeast corner of Xuanyifang. This is a residential area connected to each other. Because Xuanyifang is close to Zhuque Street and is only separated by Yongdafang in the middle, this place is also considered a prosperous area of ​​Chang'an City. The land price is not cheap. Those who can live here are usually middle and upper-level families in Chang'an City.

When the case was solved, Luo Binwang also notified Zhang Zong as soon as possible. He also wanted to see what the murderer looked like, so he came with Xue Shao. However, when he came just now, many people in the city had already received news. Now there are crowds of people watching the fun everywhere in Xuanyifang. If it weren't for the bad people cutting the way, they might not be able to squeeze in at all.

"Brother Zhang, you are finally here. Thanks to your help, otherwise you wouldn't know when the murderer will be caught!" At this time, Luo Binwang came up enthusiastically, grabbed Zhang Zong's arm excitedly and said, "The case was finally solved, and he was finally able to have a good sleep."

"You are polite to tourist brother, how did you find this murderer?" Zhang Zong asked with great interest at this time. Although he had demarcated this area, there were also thousands of families, and it was not easy to find the murderer.

"We just followed the characteristics you said by Brother Zhang, and then used the stupidest method to screen out all the people who meet the conditions, and then sent someone to stare at these people secretly. It was a coincidence that just yesterday, the murderer was preparing to commit a crime again. He happened to be caught by the person we followed. The victim was seriously injured but escaped by chance. In this way, they couldn't deny it!" Luo Binwang said excitedly again.

"The last crime this year is really a little bit short. If he succeeds, it will be difficult to find him again!" Zhang Zong also sighed after hearing this. Thanks to Luo Binwang and others' quick actions, he was able to catch the murderer in time and save his life.

"Young Master Zhang, please come in, this is the murderer's residence!" At this moment, Zhou Wu walked out of a house in front, and when he saw Zhang Zong, he also came forward enthusiastically.

"Can you go in?" Although Zhang Zong wanted to go in, he still asked, because he knew that the yamen would definitely search the murderer's residence to find more evidence, and ordinary people would definitely not let him go in.

"No problem, the murderer has been recruited, and we have found almost the evidence. Now we are just going to clean up the tail." Zhou Wu also smiled relaxedly at this time. The case was solved, and he could finally take off the burden on his shoulders.

Zhang Zong no longer hesitated when he heard this, and followed Zhou Wu and Luo Binwang into the house. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a man and a woman tied up. There were two bad people behind them. They were the murderer of the Ghost Case. The man was the mastermind, while the woman was his helper, and he was also his wife.

"The man is named Hu Zhi. He was originally a butcher. Because of his good skills, he would kill him with one knife when he was in his hands. So there was a mixed call named Hu Yidao. Later, he opened two butchers shops with his skills, and he was considered a wealthy family in Chang'an City." Zhou Wu pointed to the murderers and introduced.

"Then what do they want people's hearts to do?" Zhang Zong also asked curiously at this time.

Just as Zhang Zong finished speaking, two bad people carried a stretcher out of the room and walked out. On the rack was a boy with stiff body lying. Because the weather was hot, the boy only wore a small shirt, revealing his thin limbs, and there was no muscle on it. It was just a layer of skin wrapped around the bones. The boy's face was extremely gray, just like a dead person. Only his eyes that could barely turn showed that he was still alive.

"This is..." Zhang Zong was shocked when he looked at the skeleton-like boy. Could it be that this boy is also one of the victims?

"This is their son. He got a strange disease three years ago and became increasingly weak. He was paralyzed in bed. His muscles were atrophy in an unexpected way. The reason why they were attracted to others was mainly to use a kind of evil magic to refine medicine to cure their son's illness, but now it seems that there is no effect at all." Zhou Wu continued to introduce at this time.

Hu Zhi and his wife, who were dejected, also saw their son being carried out. Liang Cong immediately struggled and shouted: "Let go of my son, don't hurt him, everything is done by us, it has nothing to do with him..."

However, Zhou Wu and the others ignored these two people at all. They waved their hands and asked someone to lift the boy down. Zhang Zong couldn't bear it when he saw this, but he could also see that the boy would not live long enough. He even suspected that the other party might have a terminal illness such as "Abdominal Freezing Man", otherwise his limbs would not have atrophy like this.

Perhaps because he saw the terminally ill boy, Zhang Zong's mood became a little bad. He was walking around the murderer's house, while the Hu Zhi and his wife in the yard were still screaming at their son in tragic. Although they had lost their human nature, their love for their son was no different from that of ordinary people.

After walking out of the murderer's door, Zhang Zong took a long breath and then slowly exhaled it. Only then did he feel the depression in his chest dissipate a little. Luo Binwang, who was accompanying Luo Binwang, also saw Zhang Zong's strangeness, and immediately smiled and comforted: "Brother Zhang, you are still too young. There are so many pitiful people in this world, but some people are both pity and hateful. You don't have to ruin your mood because of them!"

"Thank you, brother Tourism, but that boy should be innocent. What will you do with him?" Zhang Zong asked with some concern.

"You have seen him just now. Even if he is guilty, he may not have lived until the time of interrogation. Therefore, the yamen usually finds Hu Zhi's relatives and asks them to take care of each other on their behalf." Luo Binwang said again.

When Zhang Zong heard that the boy was taken care of, he nodded. He was not a good person, so he naturally would not take everything on himself.

It was getting late, so Zhang Zong and Xue Shao also said goodbye and left. Although the block had been blocked by the yamen, after leaving the block, there were still crowds of people outside, and many people came to watch the fun.

"Brother Shi, look at these idle people outside, who don't work and come to watch the fun, blocking the road. I don't know where they got so much time?" Xue Shao couldn't help but complain because of the crowding.

"Curiosity is human nature. The rumors about the ghost before could spread all over the city. What's more, the murderer of the ghost case is now caught. I guess the entire capital will discuss this case early tomorrow morning!" Zhang Zong said with a calm smile.

But when he said this, Zhang Zong suddenly had an idea, Li Hong was about to come back, and the printing technology was also created. Although the printed books have not been launched on a large scale, their influence has been spread. Should I take this opportunity to create another thing with a huge influence?
