Chapter 47 The first night
From the words of the teahouse shopkeeper, Su An heard a lot of news that was useful to him.
It seems that the murder case was only intermittent before this, but it only broke out completely in the past few months.
But what puzzled Su An was the government's attitude towards the murder case in Yu County. Just like they returned to An County, theft cases of infants were taken seriously by the government.
But the murder case in Yu County did not seem to have attracted the attention of the government office, and it was even intentional to suppress the case. Otherwise, the immortal officials would have been sent to investigate the case thoroughly.
Of course, it may be that the government office sent an immortal official to come before, but this matter would definitely not be widely publicized. After all, if even ordinary people know about it, the murderer would definitely be wary of it.
But these are not the most important things for Su An. For him, the most important thing is what to do if he really meets the murderer.
The murderer's whereabouts are so strange that he may not be the opponent of the murderer at the eighth level.
After staying in the teahouse for a while, Su An went out of the teahouse and found an inn to stay there for the time being. Similarly, in the inn, Su An also pulled the waiter to ask for a long time.
Moreover, although he was asking the waiter about the case, he was not afraid of being seen. As long as the case was so messed up, he would definitely be curious about asking.
If anyone is not curious and doesn't ask more questions, it would be a bit strange.
Putting the packages or something in the inn, Su An went out of the inn and took advantage of the fact that there were still a lot of things to go on the street. After all, if he wanted to investigate the case, he would definitely not just stay in the inn.
If he was only staying in the inn, even if there were ancient books in his mind, clues of the case would not appear directly.
Unless he is very lucky, he happened to see a murder case outside the inn when he opened the window in the inn at night.
Moreover, since Su An came to look for his relatives, he would not attract anyone's attention when he inquired about the news on the street or even everywhere.
In this era, there are no too simple communication methods. Looking for relatives or friends, all rely on one's mouth to inquire.
Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street, especially the places where murders had occurred that Su An had found, which were even rarer. Even on the street and where they had to pass, everyone would take a few steps when passing by this section of the road, and dared not stop for too long on this section of the road, so they would run away quickly.
"People are in panic."
Su An sighed in his heart. Yu County is now in panic. It is not a good thing to continue like this, even though he knows that the murder will only happen at night.
But no one knows who should be damned at night, and whether it would be something that collided during the day, so he died at night?
"There is still no response."
Su An went to several streets of murders he had inquired about and walked back and forth, but still had no reaction.
However, he was not in a hurry. Based on the inferences that the handwriting reminder appeared in ancient books in his mind a few times, the handwriting did not appear so quickly.
It should be that you have to stay in places related to the case for a while before it appears.
However, today, Su An must not be able to walk around these places all the time, but he is not in a hurry. He has just arrived in Yu County and there is still plenty of time.
That night, it was just dark and the inn closed the door directly, and there were even wooden boards sealing the inn door from the inside.
"You're not so careful, right?"
Su An happened to be standing at the stairs on the second floor. Seeing the waiter sealing the door with wooden boards, he couldn't help but speak: "We are inn, there are so many people."
"And, not saying that as long as you don't go out, it's okay."
"The immortal officials have investigated. These people have all gone out of their homes, not those who were killed and left on the street."
Before the waiter could speak, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "Young Master, why don't you think about it? If no one knew about this case at the beginning, someone went out and was killed in the evening, it would be normal."
"But now, this case is so turbulent, how could anyone run out tonight if they are not afraid of death?"
"Aren't you tired of living?"
"If you meet those who can't figure it out, it's better to say something."
"But look, there are some people who are living with their families. Who is really willing to die? But they just died in the street inexplicably."
"This is something that's hooking them."
The shopkeeper didn't even dare to mention the words "Ghosts and monsters", but just replaced them with something: "If I hadn't been fascinated by those things, how could I come out at night?"
"And, at night, there are immortal officials patrolling the streets. When they run out, they can still avoid the immortal officials and die on the streets."
"You don't know that all these dead people are covered in blood."
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "It's big night, don't mention this, don't mention this."
"Young Master, you must close the doors and windows tonight and never come out."
"Even if someone knocks on the door and calls you or something, don't go out. You must wait until dawn in the room."
Su An raised his eyebrows: "Does the shopkeeper know what he said?"
"If I could know something, that thing would have been eradicated by the yamen."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "This is all people guessed."
Su An nodded. Indeed, no one would make any guesses when this happened.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will definitely not go out in the evening."
After Su An bowed and thanked her, he returned to the guest room and used a door bolt to lock the door from the inside.
At this time, Su An could even hear the shopkeeper's urging the waiter to close the door quickly and then add fuel to the lights in the inn.
In fact, it is not only this inn, but most of the other inns or people's homes are lit in the house at night. If it is a poor family, they will prepare firewood in advance and pile it up in the house. After night falls, they will take turns to watch the night and prevent the fire from extinguishing.
In everyone's heart, as long as there is light, those ghosts and other ghosts will definitely be afraid and dare not come.
In the guest room, Su An looked worried and sat upright on the chair for a while. After blowing out the candles in the room, he gently tapped a hole at the bottom of the window with his fingers.
Then, he moved the long table that he had visited under the window, moved a chair over, and sat upright, just as his eyes could look out through the hole.
The house is dim and there is moonlight outside. It is really not easy to see the figure behind the window from outside. Moreover, there are ornaments on the table next to it. Even if someone really sees this position, his vision will not be too long.
