I heard that Tianmu had eaten people again, so everyone had to put the meal aside and investigate the case first. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens on the Internet)

Zhan Zhao took people out of the city with his hunger, just like in Kaifeng Prefecture. However, he went out to investigate the case if he had not eaten, he could buy a bun on the roadside while eating. The people in Kaifeng City basically liked him, especially some aunts and mothers-in-law, who said he was working hard and investigated the case while eating.

However, it was different when the imperial envoy went on a patrol outside. No one knew him. He was not only Zhan Zhao, but also an official from Kaifeng Prefecture. He was eating while investigating the case. It would be bad if someone said that the official from Kaifeng Prefecture was fooled. Although Zhan Zhao didn't care much, he still had a proper position, so he had to endure it... and had a good meal for a while!

However, when he arrived in the forest where the corpse was found outside the city, guard Zhan was not hungry. On the contrary, his stomach was overwhelming... This scene really affected his appetite.

Zhan Zhao has been in the world for many years and has been doing a case in Kaifeng. He has seen many dead people, but he has not seen them very much. At this moment, the corpse in the forest has lost its head and blood, and it is frozen all over the cavity. It seems that he has been dead for a while. The clothes all over the body are torn, and the remaining flesh is like being snatched by a knife, and the flesh is fuzzy. Looking closely, the teeth marks are all covered with white bones, and the bones are thorned outside.

Zhan Zhao frowned when he saw it - what kind of deep hatred is so miserable? Was he bitten by a wolf pack?

Bai Yutang frowned even more at a glance. He shook his head and turned to the forest, thinking that he didn't know what was wrong, so he came to see what he wanted.

Gongsun walked over and squatted down to check the body. The little Sizi sat on Zhao Pu's shoulder, laying his hands on Zhao Pu's head, stretching his neck and looking curiously, while sighing, "Ah, why is this happening?"

Zhao Pu raised his face and looked at him, "Aren't you afraid?"

The little Sizi blinked with big eyes, "Is it a dead person? It's not a ghost."

Zhao Pu's mouth twitched - it's true that he was afraid of ghosts but not deaths.

Bai Yutang stood outside the forest, attracted the attention of several footprints beside the woods, leaned against a tree, looked down at the footprints in the snow, staring blankly at the footprints in the snow.

Taishi Pang stood outside the crowd and waited side by side with Bao Zheng for the result of Gongsun's autopsy.

"Hey, Lao Bao." Pang Ji gently touched Bao Zheng's arm, "What kind of ** soup did you Kaifeng Mansion give Bai Yutang?"

"Ah?" Bao Zheng looked at him in confusion, "What?"

"I was puzzled, look at Bai Yutang." Pang Ji exclaimed while touching his beard, "Look at how he leaned against the tree."

Bao Zheng thought that Pang Ji had something wrong, but he still looked over his sight... He saw Bai Yutang holding it casually beside a pine tree outside the forest, leaning against him, lowering his head as if staring at the ground in a daze.

Bao Zheng didn't see the reason and asked Pang Ji, "What's the problem?"

"The problem is big!" Pang Ji exclaimed while rubbing his chubby belly, "Look at this noble person, his every move from the top of his head to the toes, this is the best among the noble masters, the best among the best, the tribute among the best! "

Bao Zheng twitched, "Aren't you just one daughter? You're married and become a royal concubine. What else do you want to do?"

"Go." Pang Ji pushed him, pointed at Bai Yutang and then said to Bao Zheng, "Look at his outfit again!"

Bao Zheng took a look again. Bai Yutang was covered in white. It was cold. The collar of his clothes had white fox fur embroidered edges... His clothes were naturally exquisite, and they were prepared by Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er. Each piece was ridiculously expensive. But it was no wonder that Xiankongdao was rich, and Bai Yutang himself was also rich in family.

"You said! Look at the group of yamen runners in Kaifeng Mansion again." Pang Ji curled his lips.

Bao Zheng's eyelids were twitching, "What's wrong with my Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Oh..." The Grand Master shook his head with a heartache and gestured, "You Kaifeng Mansion and Baiyutang, Baiyutang and Kaifeng Mansion... do you understand whether you understand the two realms of people?"

"I don't understand." Bao Zheng looked at Pang Ji with his eyes slanted.

"Just... the money for the yamen runners in Kaifeng Mansion is not enough for this young master to buy a shirt. Do you know?" Master Pang explained to Bao Zheng, "They eat abalone ginseng and shark fin. You try pickled pork head meat. Do you understand?"

Bao Zheng made Pang Ji laugh, "What's wrong with eating pickled pork head meat? Didn't you say you wanted pork head meat to drink two days ago?"

"I'm not laughing at you for being poor in Kaifeng." Pang Ji patted Bao Zheng's shoulder to show comfort. "I just don't understand. The mountains are high and the road is far away. His good Jiangnan water town is not here. The leader of the Tianshan Sect's martial arts world is not rare. He doesn't want to be an official or not. He doesn't want to be a master. He will come to this remote place with you. You see his body and you will almost vomit. He will investigate the case of Kaifeng Mansion and pay money in it. What is he trying to do?"

After hearing Pang Ji's long speech, Mr. Bao scratched his head, "What...?"

"Also." Pang Ji held his arms and seemed to be dissatisfied. "I didn't see him paying attention to others. I just squinted in your Kaifeng Mansion, and even the Heavenly Lord came... That's the Heavenly Lord, does the Heavenly Lord know!"

Bao Zheng Wangtian rolled his eyes, "I said, "You fat man, do you understand, I have treasures in Kaifeng Mansion!"

Pang Ji was slightly stunned, "What treasure?"

Bao Zheng smiled and was proud, "I have more than just treasures in Kaifeng Mansion, but also cats. Do you have them? Do you have them?"

After saying that, he laughed to the sky and entered the woods.

Pang Ji was so angry that he grinded his teeth behind him - Heizi, it's so great to have a cat, who has no cats in his house!

At this time, Gongsun's preliminary autopsy was over. He stood up and told everyone, "Well... I died last night, and it should have been five or six hours since I died. People died miserably, and it felt like they were bitten. I couldn't tell whether they were bitten by people or beasts. Because it took too long, the footprints around were covered with heavy snow, so it was impossible to tell whether they were humans or animals."

Everyone frowned - evil!

Zhan Zhao looked around and saw that Bai Yutang was not there, so he started looking for it...

"Hey." Found Bai Yutang behind a tree, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "What are you looking at?"

Bai Yutang looked back at him, reached out to point to the ground where he had been staring at, "There are footprints."

Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at it, and saw two footprints next to the poplar tree, which were very clear.

"Just two?" Zhan Zhao felt strange.

"There is half a person behind it. It happened to be blocked by leaves, so it was not covered by snow, but it was blocked by trees, but there were no footprints."

Bai Yutang pointed to the path, "feel..."

"Someone stood behind the tree, and after a while, he left." Zhan Zhao looked at the footprints carefully. "The snow had stopped in the morning, but the footprints that left were covered by the snow, which meant that the man came tonight and left at night. In the middle of the night, why did the wild mountains and forests stand behind the trees?"

"Maybe he saw the process of Tianmu eating people." Bai Yutang said, pointing behind... The place where the corpse was lying, and the tree was thicker and had a good concealment.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This place is some distance from where we camped last night. No wonder we didn't hear any noise yesterday, but in the middle of the night, who would pass by here... You guess Qin Lisheng came and left last night, would he find something?"

Bai Yutang thought about it, not sure, "But he seems to have no reason to hide behind the tree and peek. He can't see anything, and he didn't listen to him this morning."

"Don't say this morning." Zhan Zhao seemed to remember it, quite puzzled, "Chen Mo was clearly bitten. Gongsun said that his injury was a bite, but he refused to admit it, and insisted on it being scratched. Why hide it?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, it was indeed suspicious.

Gongsun asked someone to take the body and take it back to the yamen. He wanted to have an autopsy with the woodcutter who died before.

Zhao Pu carried Xiao Sizi and Gongsun back, and took Xiao Sizi, who had been hungry, to have dinner first.

Zhan Zhao followed the convention and took people around to find clues. He could not leave now. The heavy snow may have covered a lot of clues. You should check it as soon as possible.

Several yamen runners and Zhan Zhao went in different directions, sweeping away the snow bit by bit, hoping to find the missing clues.

This work is more meticulous and requires patience. Bai Yutang frowned slightly. He wanted to help, but Zhan Zhao pushed him aside and asked him to find a place to stand quickly and not get his boots wet after a while.

Bai Yutang had no choice but to follow him, "Or why go to have a meal first, aren't you hungry?"

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "It will be troublesome if the snow melts in a while, so look at it..."

Before the word "look" was released, Zhan Zhao stopped, squatted down, carefully pushed away a layer of snow, and reached out to pick up something.

Bai Yutang also squatted down to see what was in his hand.

"Does it look familiar?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

He saw a small mirror in his hand, which looked like a comb mirror carried by a girl. The bronze mirror was surrounded by a circle of peach wood, carefully carved with a flower pattern, and a peach wood handle below, which carved a pattern of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. On the back of the mirror, a few words were engraved - demons appeared.

"Is this a mirror of the demon?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao took out the peach wood talisman he picked up before and the peach wood sword that Long Miaomiao picked up, put it together with this peach wood mirror, and asked Bai Yutang, "Does it look like a set?"

Bai Yutang took it over and looked at it. Indeed... Whether it is the color and appearance, the texture of peach wood and the flowering skills above, it seems to be a really set.

"What does it mean?" Bai Yutang asked in confusion, "It was left by his mother that day, or the demon hunter left by him, but it didn't look like a coincidence..."

"Sir Zhan."

At this time, Zhang Long hurried over and waved to Zhan Zhao, "We found something."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood up and followed Zhang Long to the other side of the forest.

"We found some blood under the snow layer, followed the blood, and found this." After arriving at a bush, Zhao Hu and Ma Han were digging a large bush, with some mud that was not covered with snow. This area is yellow mud, with lighter color on the ground and dryer. I saw a clear blood footprint on the ground.

The most interesting thing is that the blood footprint is not the shadow of human feet or horse hoof prints, but a clear and larger than human hands, plum blossom footprint.

"Claw Print?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"It looks like a tiger." Several older yamen runners in Kaifeng said, "Wolfs and dogs don't have that big feet, and leopards don't have this shape. They look like the claws of a beautiful tiger."

Zhan Zhao stood up and frowned, "There are tigers in the area of ​​Jizhou Prefecture?"

Zhao Hu asked the yamen runners who came with them in the yamen prefecture, and the yamen runners looked confused, "No, rabbits are rare in this forest, where are the tigers coming from?"

Zhan Zhao stared at the tiger claw mark for a long time, and asked Zhao Hu to rub the marks at the same size. He went back and asked Wang Tiande to find local hunters to investigate. If there was really a tiger, it would be impossible that no one had seen it.

"If there were really tigers, it would be impossible to live here." Bai Yutang looked up at the woods and concluded, "There are no deep mountains and old forests here. The forest is still the official road there. It is unreasonable that tigers live here without food or caves."

"Can it be raised by people?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Raising a tiger...is not without it." Bai Yutang seemed to suddenly think of something and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao keenly noticed Bai Yutang's expression change and asked with a smile, "What do you think of a tiger's acquaintance?"

Bai Yutang was silent for a moment and spoke, "Qin Lisheng..."

"Does he have a tiger?" Zhan Zhao was surprised and thought to himself that Qin Lisheng was gentle and gentle. He had never heard of him raising a tiger.

Bai Yutang waved his hand, "No, I will meet him because I bought tiger bone wine."

"Tiger bone wine?"

"Many guys from Xiankong Island do water business. They are heavily humid on the boat all year round, and many of them have rheumatism. The crew will bring some tiger bone wine every time they go to sea. It is best to treat rheumatism and gout. Originally, they bought tiger bone wine with a familiar shop, but the boss later wanted to close the business and stopped doing it. Before leaving, he introduced it to Baigui Villa that the tiger bone wine in Baigui Villa is very good and the amount is also large, which was many years ago. At that time, Qin Lisheng was introduced to his second brother, and they talked about buying wine with him. Once, the second brother happened to be out of the way, so I went to talk about it. I have met since that time." Bai Yutang said, looking at Zhan Zhao, "I heard that, of course it was just a rumor. Baigui Villa used to buy tiger bones with hunters to make wine, but he was deceived by several hunters at one time, and the losses were heavy. So they raised tigers in the villa."

"That's it..." Zhan Zhao touched his chin and thought, "If it were a tiger raised in Baigui Villa, no one of them was watched, and the beast ran out and bit the person to death..."

"Do you think it was Baigui Villa who was afraid of taking responsibility, so he made up the statement that Tianmu cannibalism was said, so it was Qin Lisheng's case reported?" Bai Yutang quickly understood Zhan Zhao's meaning, "Then Chen Mo was also attacked by the tiger last night. He didn't say that it was to protect the interests of the villa?"

"It's indeed very reasonable." Zhan Zhao nodded, "But Chen Mo's kung fu is not weak, so it shouldn't be difficult to settle a tiger... It's hard to imagine that he was almost bitten to death by a tiger, and that person Long Miaomiao also said that he saw a woman instead of a tiger..."
