Chapter 167 Xiao Zizi searches for the real culprit

"If it is true as this young master said, wouldn't it be impossible to find the real criminal in this unsolved case?!"

He Gu had never heard of such a modus operandi in his life.

But one thing he understood deeply was that this case was not an unsolved case that ordinary people could solve.

Thinking of this, Master He could no longer maintain his calm look, and his face was filled with melancholy.

Because it was none other than my own Lord Xia.

This murderous case has spread widely. In addition to the men, women, and children in Annan County living in fear, the surrounding counties have also cut off several trade relations with Annan County because of this murderous case.

Everyone was afraid that they would die inexplicably in the county town as soon as they entered the city wall.

The wealthy country squires could still keep trading goods because of Lord Xia's face, and they had long since looked for other places to do business if they were not familiar with him.

Nowadays, there are many people above looking at Mr. Xia.

If the case cannot be finalized and the culprit is identified in the next few days, Shangfeng will become anxious and will really consider it a crime that is detrimental to the governance of the place, Mr. Xia.

By then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect Wusha...

"So... I'm afraid it won't be good..."

This sentence was He Gu's whisper to himself. Only Xu Zuozuo, who had ordinary hearing, did not hear it.

Su Qingtian looked straight at He Gu, her big eyes seemed to be able to see through the other person's soul.

In fact, there is deep helplessness in He Gu's words. There is a suspect in the prison right now, and the case has developed in an inhuman direction. If the real murderer cannot be found, then this suspect...

No.

He Gu shook his head and got rid of the inappropriate thoughts.

Even if he thought so, Master Xia would definitely not do such a despicable thing.

Su Qingtian curled her lips, the magistrate and master of Annan County are both good.

"Little Leaf."

Su Qingtian said to Fan Ye, "Can you find the murderer from the breath left on the wood carving?"

This question instantly ignited the hopes of He Gu and Xu Zuozuo, and they both looked sideways at Fan Ye.

Fan Ye did not answer, but crossed Hegu and came to Xu Wuzuo's side.

He reached out and took the wood carving in the porcelain bowl into his palm.

This wood carving is finely polished and every part is lifelike. It can be seen that the carver put a lot of thought and determination into it.

From the moment he started carving, he had the ruthless intention of using waterless to achieve his goals.

And the more pious you are when making it, the quicker the person you call will get a waterless response.

After all, not just anyone can summon them to make deals.

"Click"

The wood carving was placed on the table by Fan Ye, and then he quickly made seals with his hands.

I saw that the originally dark wood sculpture gradually lit up, and a layer of pale white halo attached to its body.

This is the breath of the carver adsorbed on the wood carving.

The breath gathered and rotated rapidly, and finally condensed into a small white ball the size of a cat's eye.

The sphere floated for a few times before floating steadily above the wooden sculpture.

This scene shocked He Gu and Xu Wuzuo, who had never believed in magic.

Although the two of them knew in their hearts that Fan Yeding was a Taoist who cultivated immortality, they did not expect to see Taoism being performed in front of their own eyes.

"Master He, take your people and follow it to catch the criminal."

As he spoke, Fan Ye waved his index finger in the air, and a wisp of white filaments flew out from the white ball and escaped through the gap in the window.

He Gu was too late to be shocked when he heard that the murderer could be caught in this way.

He quickly rushed out of the mortuary and gave orders to the policeman guarding the door.

"Quick! Let Mr. Tang lead everyone with me to catch the real culprit!"

The young agent was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he rushed towards the front yard, where Captain Xia and other agents gathered for training.

He Gu didn't waste any time, turned around and went to the study room where Mr. Xia was to report.

It was a pity that Mr. Xia was not here, so he directly took the decision and set off with a group of detectives.

Fan Ye was afraid that there would be an accident in his arrest. After all, someone who could summon Wu Shui must know some Taoism.

By then no one was caught and some innocent people were injured, so he was worried and went with He Gu and the others.

After a moment of panic, only Su Qingtian and Xu Zuzuo were left in the deserted mortuary.

The flashing lights stretched the shadows of the two people very long, and finally fell on the gray-white wall, slightly distorted.

Next to it were three uncovered corpses that had been disemboweled at the same time. The big ones were lying there, which made the mortuary even more eerie.

After so many years of performing autopsies, this was the first time that Xu Wu felt so cold in his workplace.

He kept staring at the wooden sculpture where the halo had dissipated.

It seemed that everything that happened just now under Fan Ye's operation was an illusion, just hysteria that occurred after he was tired.

"Xu Wuzuo."

A crisp voice broke the silence. Su Qingtian looked at his slightly dull look and said, "Please take out the other two wood carvings."

After hearing the little girl's words in a panic, Xu Wuzuo came back to his senses.

Putting aside the mixed feelings in his heart, he quickly and swiftly took out the wooden sculptures from the bodies of the woman and the little boy.

As usual, they were packed in cloth bags and stuffed inside the body.

But how to insert it, Xu Wuzuo didn't know.

According to Su Qingtian's request, Xu Wuzuo took out the two wood carvings from the cloth bag and placed them side by side next to the first wood carving.

Looking at the three wooden sculptures arranged side by side, Su Qingtian's little hands behind her back hooked together slightly, and then rubbed her thumbs.

The three blood-soaked wooden sculptures are not made of the same material.

The one in the belly of a man is carved from a locust tree, that of a woman is carved from a peach tree, and that of a little boy is carved from a willow tree.

It seems that the person who cast the spell has either obtained the complete book of the contract magic circle, or has an expert guiding him behind the scenes.

Ordinary people, not to mention summons, would not be able to even carve such a detailed look.

Not to mention that the choice of wood varies from person to person, this is already an extraordinary level of formation knowledge that ordinary people can achieve.

Xu Wuzuo looked at the little girl looking so carefully, fearing that he would reveal some clues, so he also bent down to take a look.

But I couldn't tell any difference after looking back and forth.

After all, the three wooden sculptures in front of him had been in the belly of the corpse for too long, and their surfaces were completely covered in blood. It was his limit to be able to see the traces of the carvings.

If we really want to say why, we can only say that the wood inside the little boy's body is the most exquisitely carved and polished with the most meticulous and smooth texture.

Looking away, Su Qingtian walked around the three corpses with her little hands behind her back to check.

The more I read, the closer my guess is to the truth.

The real culprit who used the formation to murder the three people did not commit the crime alone. There was indeed someone with expert guidance behind him.

If they just wanted to seek the formation in exchange for their lives, then these three people would have died on the spot the moment they were sacrificed.

However, they entered Annan County alive and arrogantly, but died suddenly after having a moment of contact with their third uncle.

In other words, the murder in front of us is a conspiracy against the third uncle and against the Xiao family!
