Chapter 98 Palm Print

Liu Feifeng pressed the handle of the knife with her hand, and her white and fat face was covered with coldness, and she strode towards the dozen kneeling corpses at the front of the sacrifice table.

Crack!

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stepped on a shaking stone slab, and blood splashed on the boots and trousers' legs, making him frown.

Immediately, Liu Feifeng's eyes paused and focused on the stone slab under her feet, but found four lines of words engraved on it.

Liu Feifeng bent down, reached out to sweep away the mud and debris on the stone slab, stared at the four lines of words, and recited it out loud: "Crying cold blood, sparse and dense wind, who can walk through the flowing water, relying on the east side of the stone bridge - what does this mean?"

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Catcher Liu, these four sentences actually appeared together with the rumors of the ghost cave. They were all two years ago..." said a tall and thin detective.

"Hmm? You know?"

Liu Feifeng looked back.

The tall and thin constable nodded and said, "There are rumors that these four sentences were also left by Master Yuli's ghost. It involves a treasure secret. As long as you can crack these four sentences, you can find the treasure."

"Treasure?"

Liu Feifeng raised her eyebrows and thought to herself whether the deaths of these more than a dozen people were related to the so-called treasure?

He took a breath, got up and walked to the sacrificial table, and looked at the kneeling corpse on the ground.

After counting, there were fifteen dead people, three of them were each carrying a lot of trauma, with blood stained with clothes, long and narrow wounds, and bones that were deep.

With Liu Feifeng's eyes, he naturally could tell that this was a sword injury.

Liu Feifeng asked casually: "Have you figured out the identity of the deceased?"

The magistrate Jie Chengye shook his head, and the officials looked at each other. After a while, a servant hesitated and said: "Captain Liu, the woman in the middle seems to be the pillar of the colorful cloud sky. The young man once saw her performance, but he was not very sure."

Liu Feifeng said in surprise: "Cai Yuntian?"

"It's also an acrobatic team." The officer replied quickly.

Liu Feifeng looked at the woman in the middle. She was about twenty-seven or eight years old. She looked stiff and purple under her eyes. A narrow sword mark was scratched on her eyebrows and her skin was cracked, making her look ferocious and terrifying.

But she could vaguely tell that she should have a bit of charm when she was alive. No wonder the servant couldn't remember others, but she still had a bit of impression on her.

The woman knelt on her body and was facing the sacrifice table. When Liu Feifeng walked closer, she found something seemed to be hidden in the shadows under the sacrifice table.

Liu Feifeng reached out and pulled down a black cloth, then a square bronze box that was nearly two feet long was revealed.

He pulled the bronze box outward, feeling quite heavy, afraid that it was not nearly a hundred pounds, so he immediately shook his wrist and exerted force, lifted it out, and placed it in the open space.

"There is actually a bronze box? What is hidden inside?"

Jie Chengye glared at his eyes, and he didn't care about being afraid, so he hurriedly walked up to watch.

As soon as the magistrate moved, the other servants would not be idle, so they came forward together to protect Xie Chengye.

The box was not locked, and Liu Feifeng pressed her palm on the lid, and suddenly stopped again.

Xie Chengye said anxiously: "Catcher Liu, why don't you open the box?"

"This box may be a murderer who is cheating. In order to prevent hidden weapons from being involved, please step back."

Liu Feifeng said and waved her hand again, and several officers stood in front of Jie Chengye.

Then Liu Feifeng slowly drew his knife, stood on the side of the box, stabbed the bronze cover with the blade and pried it hard.

Bang!

The lid suddenly opened, and a series of uncontrollable screams suddenly sounded at the scene. Everyone's eyes shone, staring at the things in the bronze box, breathing rapidly, and swallowing their saliva with difficulty.

Not to mention ordinary servants, even Jie Chengye pushed the two servants who were blocking each other away and quickly stepped forward to look.

"Golden Dragon?!"

Jie Chengye stared straight and exclaimed in surprise.

Under the reflection of the fire, the bronze box shone brightly, and the golden light flashed. It was a lifelike golden dragon with a vivid expression, like a living creature, about two feet long.

On the contrary, Liu Feifeng was still able to remain calm. He glanced at him and there was a piece of cloth in the bronze box besides the golden dragon. He reached out and grabbed it and took it out.

He shook his hand and spread it in front of him. There was a text on the cloth. Liu Feifeng looked at it a few times and her face changed immediately.

"Sir, look!"

He immediately submitted the silk book to Jie Chengye.

Jie Chengye withdrew his gaze that was lingering on Jinlong, took the silk book in confusion and started reading it. After a while, his face also changed.

"So that's it! So that's it!"

Jie Chengya was so excited that his whole body trembled, not knowing whether it was because of fear or excitement.

"It turns out that this golden dragon is actually a tribute presented to the emperor by the King of the Western Regions. This case... this case... a big case that is so scattered to the sky!"

Two years ago, a major robbery occurred in Jiangning Prefecture that shocked the government and the public.

General Chen Yongshou, Ningyuan, was ordered to escort a group of official silver and a golden dragon presented by the King of the Western Regions to the capital, but was robbed and killed by murderers on the way through Jiangning Mansion. Chen Yongshou and his two hundred generals were killed and their tributes were looted.

The incident reached the capital, and the court was shocked. The emperor Long Yan was furious and issued an order to order the Jiangning Prefecture to thoroughly investigate the case. As a result, there were no clues to be found in two years, so that more than a dozen officials were implicated and removed from office.

Even if he resolved the karma, he was also because of the incident, and he had the opportunity to make up for the absence of the magistrate of Guangde.

And now the golden dragon is recovered, and this is the credit that has come down from heaven.

Jie Chengye looked at the silk book carefully again, his face gradually changed from excitement to anger, and he shouted loudly: "Bold thief, robbing official silver, killing people to silence people! It's really a crime to die, and the family is confiscated and the clan is destroyed. Just die like this, it's a good thing for them."

According to the silk book, the fifteen kneeling corpses in the ghost cave were the thieves who robbed tributes at that time, namely Kang Qiao, Lei Shi, Xiong Yan, Ren Zongyuan and others.

These people were originally from the Yuli Acrobatics Class. Because Chen Yongshou was an acrobatic fan, he met them on the way and invited them to the capital together. They took the opportunity to drug the medicine halfway and robbed the tribute.

It is also mentioned in the silk book that Yuli was killed by them because she was unwilling to be with them.

Jie Chengye read it and put the silk book into his sleeve, but snorted coldly: "This group of thieves should be cut into pieces, and Chen Yongshou is also suffering from the consequences and is not worthy of pity. The emperor ordered him to escort tribute. What a secret matter, but he invited someone to accompany him because of his own preferences. It is really damn to neglect his duties."

As a civil servant, he was despised and had no sympathy for military generals like Chen Yongshou.

Liu Feifeng had closed the bronze box again and stepped forward and said, "Sir, from this point of view, someone should have avenged General Ningyuan or Yuli for death. We may be able to check whether these two people still have relatives..."

"good!"

Jie Chengye nodded in agreement, and then snorted: "Even if these people deserve to die ten thousand times, there will be a court judgment. How can the people around him be qualified to kill them? The murderer is so reckless and he is lawless. If he doesn't take my Song Dynasty's law seriously, I must bring it to justice to others..."

Before Jie Chengye finished speaking, a scream came out, and only one of the detectives shouted: "Master Jie, Captain Liu, come and see here..."

The voice was rapid and sharp, with an uncontrollable tone of shock.

Jie Chengye, Liu Feifeng and the others hurriedly looked over, and saw two constables standing on the left side of the cave, holding a torch and looking up.

Looking for a height of the cave wall, a deep palm print appeared.

Liu Feifeng rushed over and stared at the palm print. Her pupils were already shrinking, and her face showed an unprecedented look of horror.

It was a palm print that was nearly one foot deep into the cave wall. At the center of the palm print, there was a token made of bronze.

It seemed that someone pressed the bronze token into the hole wall with a palm.

Liu Feifeng's face suddenly darkened, she shouted in her throat, and slashed out with a knife, landed on the cave wall.

The sound of gold and iron clashing with each other, and the sound of the ghost cave sounded loudly. The steel knife and the cave wall collided, splashing out a brilliant spark. Then a huge recoil force pushed Liu Feifeng's body backwards.

Liu Feifeng's face became increasingly ugly, and even her breathing seemed to have stopped.

The walls of the cave are all hard rocks, and the texture is not inferior to that of gold and iron. He slashed with all his strength and left a shallow knife mark on it, but now someone hit it with a palm, penetrated it directly one foot deep, and pressed a bronze token into it.

If this person is the murderer, what an incredible master would he be?

This case is the original "magic phantom", according to the plot, it happened three years ago...
