Chapter 82: The ghost of Fanlou, the case is blurred
"This criminal is really not leaving any clues for us!" Jiang Cheng was pumping air conditioning from his teeth, and said with a helpless look on his face: "At the banquet, they first killed the poisoned maid Dongqin, just to kill people to silence them."
"Then, when you and County Magistrate Lu returned, he tried to rob you and kill you halfway. He was afraid that you would break this strange case of Gui Fanlou."
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "Now, just when we finally found the clue and finally found Meng Tuozi's house, they took the lead and simply killed Meng Tuozi and that woman and abandoned the body!"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Shen Mo nodded.
Shen Mo said thoughtfully: "This criminal is so anxious to cover up this case. I think the inside story must be more than just a murder case!"
When Jiang Cheng heard Shen Mo's words, he also smacked his tongue: "So, Meng Tuozi and that woman have been wiped out by each other. Is this clue from Gui Fanlou still valuable to us?"
"All of this is unknown," Shen Mo said this, and he shook his head and stood up: "Let's go back to the county government first and report to the Magistrate Lu about the incident of investigating Guifanlou this time."
When they got off the top scholar building and returned to the county government office, the county magistrate Lu was already waiting there anxiously.
There was no way, the constables who went with Shen Mo couldn't even enter the valley. So County Magistrate Lu still knew nothing about what happened in Guifan Tower.
When Shen Mo and the others came back, County Magistrate Lu hurriedly gave them to the Second Hall.
Qiwei Four Swords, Jiangcheng, Shen Mo, and Lu County Magistrate sat together and straightened out the clues obtained from today's investigation of the case from beginning to end.
"Can we imagine this now?" After hearing Shen Mo's report, County Magistrate Lu frowned and said:
"The deceased Lu Juexiao, he went to Guifanlou three times a month to meet the woman and Meng Tuozi. Then, he learned some news in the process."
"No matter what he heard or saw, or even leaked it by the other party accidentally, Lu Juexiao must be an insider."
"Then, in order to silence, these people decisively poisoned Lu Juexiao at the banquet."
"Before the poison was released, Lu Juexiao wrote the three words "Ghost Fanlou" for us. The purpose is to let us know that his death was because he had been to Ghost Fanlou! Is my inference reasonable?"
When County Magistrate Lu finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo nodded immediately: "What Lu County Zun inferred should be not far from the facts, but it cannot be ruled out that Lu Juexiao is their accomplice."
"That's right!" County Magistrate Lu nodded heavily.
"So, they killed Lu Juexiao and killed Dongqin for the same purpose... to cover up some things?" Jiang Cheng said, rubbing his temples hard.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's eyebrows were already frowned: "Oh! If we martial artists think about this, our heads will be really hurt. Why would you let me carry the sack!"
"Yes!" As soon as they said this, the four swords present nodded in agreement.
Judging from their expressions, it seemed that they could just leave these brain-thinking things to Shen Mo and County Magistrate Lu, and there was no need for them to hurt their minds.
After everyone summarized the case, they could not come to any clear conclusions for a while. The people dispersed and returned to the residence provided by the county government for them to rest.
Even Chen Si asked the yamen runners to send a letter to their home and decided to stay here at night. Now if he goes home alone, it would be too dangerous.
After they came out of the Second Hall, Shen Mo saw that no one was paying attention, so he pulled the thin monkey-like Xingyun Sword Bell aside.
"How is it? Have you noticed it?" Shen Mo asked Zhong Yutong in a low voice.
"No!" Zhong Yutong shook his head: "From we left Guifan Tower, arrived at Zhuangyuan Tower, and then to the county government office, there was no tail behind him!"
"Thank you! Brother Zhong!" Shen Mo patted Zhong Yutong's back to show his gratitude.
Shen Mo once asked Mo Xiaoluo that Zhong He Tong was light and sharp in his body, and his kung fu was good at light skills. Among their four swords of power, Zhong He Tong was the one who was best at tracking.
Now that even he said that no one was following them secretly, I guess it would be impossible to be wrong.
After hearing Zhong Yutong's words, Shen Mo frowned instead. He seemed to be unsatisfied with such a result.
Then, while thinking about his thoughts, Shen Mo returned to his residence.
...
At night, the sound of the howling wind in Guifanlou Valley was like a heart-wrenching ghost crying.
Now the city should be when the lights are first on, but the Guifan Tower is pitch black. Because their business has always been carried out in the dark, and there has never been a big fanfare and the lights are brilliant.
In the darkness, a figure in black flashed like a ghost on the street.
I saw this man wearing black uniform, his body was light and agile. When he appeared on the dark street, he immediately floated out of the valley like a ghost.
Suddenly, I saw this figure suddenly stopped at the intersection of the street!
His body movements ranged from extremely fast to extremely quiet, like a nail nailed to the ground. Obviously, this person's skill and light skills were both sensational!
He stopped because he was vaguely seeing a face looking at him in the darkness.
The man in black turned his face, his eyes penetrated the darkness, staring at a certain place on the corner of the street.
There, under a dirty dog skin, a thin and dirty face exposed from under the knotted hair.
I saw that the man's eyes were as dull as stones, his eyes were empty, looking at the sky without any spirit, his mouth was open helplessly, as if he was praying for something to the sky.
His eyes clearly could not see anything. Could it be that this old beggar was so hungry that he wanted someone else to give him some food?
When the man in black saw it was this guy, he realized that the face he was facing him just now!
So he looked at the old beggar coldly and flew out like a ghost again.
The wind came and went up the street, hovering and flying, rolling up countless sand and dust and garbage, hitting the surrounding wooden walls.
"Eat...eat..." The old beggar opened his mouth in vain, his face was covered in vain. He had no eyes, and he didn't know that Gui Fanlou had not yet woken up at this time, and no one would come to pity him now.
