"There is one person in the house?"

Zhao County Magistrate was shocked, and after a moment he suddenly woke up and realized: "What are you talking about, County Magistrate Han?"

Li Yi nodded, and he took out the tea-stained robe and said, "At that time, County Magistrate Han should be in the house.

After Manager Wan left, he opened the door and came out, but unexpectedly, Manager Wan put tea at the door. He accidentally kicked the teapot, which made tea stains on his robe."

Zhao County Wei asked, "But, aren't there tea stains on other clothes here?"

Li Yi paused and said, "The other clothes here should be deliberately wet by County Magistrate Han to cover up his eyes and eyes. It can be seen that other clothes are brand new, and this robe is very dirty.

There shouldn't be anyone mixing dirty clothes with clean clothes. If the tea wets the clothes, there is no reason to wet these clothes together."

County Magistrate Zhao was thinking, he frowned, clenched his fists, and suddenly screamed: "No! If it was really a murder case done by County Magistrate Han, it must be because Lord Zhang had his handle in his hand, blocking his way to promotion.

He made Lord Zhang’s house so messy, probably because he was searching for evidence from Lord Zhang. I must return to the county government immediately. If I were too late, he would definitely destroy the evidence."

Li Yi said in agreement: "This is the reason, sir, please go back quickly. He cannot be convicted by just a robe. If evidence can be found, it will be very different."

Zhao County Wei was neat and decisive in his work. He nodded and hurried downstairs and ran straight to the county yard.

Li Yi stretched and breathed slowly.

This case may not be as complicated as imagined, but it is a bit too difficult to convict the murderer.

After all, he was the head of the county's parents.

Li Yi glanced at the shopkeeper Wan next to him, and saw that he was still dazed and dazed. He couldn't help but pat his shoulder: "Shopkeeper Wan?"

"It's him, it's him!" Manager Wan was startled. After he exclaimed twice, he immediately stopped talking.

"Is it him? Who is it?" Li Yi stared at Manager Wan in surprise.

Manager Wan waved his hands repeatedly, his expression unnatural: "No, no, no... I just thought, if there was really someone in the house at that time, if he came out to destroy my mouth, how terrible it would be..."

Li Yi did not comment. What Manager Wan just thought was obviously not like this.

In order to handle the case rigorously, Li Yi followed Manager Wan to search for the house of the chief clerk Wang.

The chief clerk Wang has also returned to the county government office, and there is no one in the house.

However, Li Yi found something wrong here.

He found a pair of shoes at the bottom of the bed, with tea stains on the soles...

...

In the county yamen, the Han County Magistrate set up a brazier and threw papers full of words into the brazier.

The tongue of flames quickly burned along the paper, and the passionate flames were like the merciful rain in heaven, as if they could clear all sins.

County Magistrate Han took off his coat and threw it into the brazier. Seeing the black and red blood on the sleeves of the coat gradually being swallowed by the flames, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of County Magistrate Han's mouth.

"Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, what are you doing, you must investigate me. Haha, you deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

...

Finally, I checked Zhao County Wei’s house and found that the items in the house were neat and there was nothing suspicious about it.

"Aci?" Li Yi waved his hand to Gan Ci who had completed the autopsy and whispered, "Is there anything else to discover about Lord Zhang's body?"

Gan Ci shook her head and said, "The deceased showed no signs of poisoning or paralysis. As you guessed, the murderer inserted the sharp end of the pen into his throat in a very short time."

Li Yi frowned. The murderer should have a lot of strength. Can a fat man like Han County Magistrate who does not exercise all year round do it?

It's really incredible...

They went down the fourth floor with Gan Ci. They wanted to find Yun Zhaozhao and told her the results of the investigation so that she could not think too much.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of the stairs, I happened to run into two guys from the top scholar building whispering.

"Have you heard of it? On the fourth floor of our 1st Principal Building, a high-ranking official was killed!"

"How could I not hear about this? So many people surrounded our restaurant this morning, and the noise was not small at all!"

"Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"I don't know, it is said that the third floor was controlled by the yamen at that time. There were only a few adults from the county government on the fourth floor. Could it be that they were... hiss~~ I didn't say anything." One of them showed a look of panic.

Another man said contemptuously: "You shouldn't say that, because you are just nonsense! The murderer can't be these adults!"

"Oh? How do you say it? You seem to know something."

"Hehe, I have been working in this top scholar building for more than 20 years, so I naturally know some inside information. Let me tell you, I am very sure that this murder was not done by a human, but... the top scholar in the ghost!

Moreover, next, there will be people dead! And more than one!"

"The top scorer of ghosts, what the top scorer of ghosts? How do you know that people will die?" Hearing this, Li Yi finally couldn't help but rush forward and grabbed the guy's shoulder.

The guy was startled and panicked but didn't dare to continue talking.

The other guy covered his face and ran away, fearing that Li Yi would see his face clearly.

Seeing this, Li Yi had to let go of his hand and smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid, just say it slowly. I am the yamen officer in charge of the case, I just want to hear you talk. I will say whatever I know."

The man was still panicked and his face was even more embarrassed.

Li Yi smiled and took out a few copper plates from his arms and stuffed them into the hand of the guy: "Don't worry, I won't tell others that you said."

Money can make the devil push the grind, and naturally it can make people open their mouths.

The guy took the copper plate and said mysteriously: "Master, our shopkeeper didn't let him talk about this. Don't tell him that I was talking about it, otherwise I would have to be driven out by him."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh? There is also such a thing." Li Yi looked strange, but you were obviously very happy just now.

The guy said slowly: "It happened about 17 years ago. At that time... the Zhuangyuan Building was not called Zhuangyuan Building, and our business was not good. Until one day, a scholar moved into our restaurant..."

The story is actually very simple. Not long after the scholar lived in the restaurant, a supernatural incident occurred in the restaurant.

First, the well water in the backyard of the restaurant suddenly changed its taste, becoming bitter and astringent, and had a strong smell.

Then, there were always black cats whistling at night in the restaurant, which was both weird and terrifying.

Later, an unknown fire ignited in the backyard and the entire woodshed was burned out. What is surprising is that not only three corpses were found in the burnt woodshed, but also a pen, a pen used by the scholar.

Finally, through that pen, Manager Wan found out that the matter in the restaurant was vaguely related to the scholar, so he wanted to question him personally.

Unexpectedly, the scholar was no longer in the house where he lived and could never find it again. The four treasures of the study he placed on the table - the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, were dyed with blood.

When the guy said this, his face showed a look of horror: "It is said that after a while, Manager Wan salvaged a corpse and an inkstone from the well, which was also an inkstone used by the scholar.

Later, among us guys who do things, the saying that scholars seek their lives was circulated.

It is said that the scholar is actually the incarnation of the top ghost scholar. When he comes to the mortal world, he needs to kill four people with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Then the top ghost scholar can reincarnate and be reborn as a human being."

"After that... in order not to let this rumor affect the business of our restaurant, we banned us from talking about these things, and changed the name of the restaurant to "Zhuangyuanlou" and changed the circulating stories.

The story has been changed to what it is now, saying that scholars and students who come to stay in this restaurant can get the protection of the top scholar and successfully ranked among the top three. This statement is very attractive to those scholars, and the business of the top scholar gradually improved, and they became the throne of the first restaurant in the county."

After hearing this absurd legend, Li Yi's face was a little unnatural. He looked at the guy strangely: "In other words... the reason why you have been drinking well water for a long time tastes abnormal is that it is because there is a corpse inside?"
