"Didn't you ask me to investigate the two bodies that disappeared from the Shen Mansion? I found them."
Xiao paused in her sipping of tea, and suddenly stood up from her seat, causing a lot of water droplets to spill onto the table.
Liu Qianfo: "It was in the Huanchuan River outside the capital. It was discovered by a few wandering beggars. When they were reporting it to the authorities, one of them accidentally fell into the river and drowned."
Xiao Xu took a step forward and walked towards the door, "Let's go take a look."
Nanyabu.
"How did he die?"
"It's really a sin..."
The people gathered at the door looking at the three corpses, whispering to each other.
The three beggars who had reported the incident to the police stood by with their hands and feet tied, neither sitting nor standing, with their heads lowered and silent.
Before Xiao Xu stepped in, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yanjin who came with him.
After not seeing him for a few days, he seems... more sinister?
In the past, no matter how cold his aura was, he would never show it openly.
What is the reason this time?
Ana Shen walked slowly towards her.
His eyes were like the abyss.
"National Master." He nodded slightly.
Xiao: "Uh, you're here too."
Is this animal in a bad mood?
Look... the dark circles under your eyes seem to be more pronounced. Didn't you sleep well?
What have you been doing these days?
Although he had many questions he wanted to ask, Xiao Xu kept them to himself and didn't say a word.
Officials responsible for collecting the bodies also arrived at the scene shortly afterwards.
"Your humble servant Congyun greets the Imperial Master and Master Shen."
"Your humble servant Bai Xiao greets the Imperial Master and Master Shen."
Shen Yanjin ordered people to uncover the three bodies that were salvaged, "These two bodies are somewhat similar to the other one..."
He asked the three beggars, "Do you know the other one?"
The beggar on the left, with his head bowed, replied tremblingly, "I know him. His name is Da Shitou. He came from far away. We often get together... to beg."
Ana Shen: “How did he die?”
The beggar glanced at his other two companions, and as if hardening his heart, he said, "He accidentally fell into the river and drowned!"
Drowned?
Xiao Xu took a closer look at the other corpse. There was an obvious light purple mark on the neck. The matter might not be that simple.
As for what Ana Shen said was somewhat similar, it was only because the beggar who had just died also had a bulge on his neck.
"Master Imperial Master, we are collecting the bodies. Please step aside."
After Cong Yun prepared everything, he spoke to Xiao Yan.
"Um."
She walked out of the yamen and stood on the street, thinking about it. She always felt that there was something wrong with the three beggars. When she saw Shen Yanjin coming out, she couldn't help but move forward.
"Did you find out anything? How is it?"
Ana Shen: “They killed people.”
Xiao murmured: “?”
Someone glanced at them and continued slowly, "They're lying. From their eyes and actions, I can tell that the one who answered my question is the mastermind."
Although she also felt suspicious, it was not yet confirmed.
This beast actually directly named the murderer.
"ah--"
Just as he was distracted, he heard a few screams from the yamen.
Xiao Xu was the first to run in and witnessed a very bloody scene.
The three corpses automatically decomposed into pieces of flesh, and the flesh was still beating actively, as if something was controlling it.
The two officials who were collecting the body were so frightened that they held their heads and screamed.
Three beggars came out from the corridor at some point and stared blankly.
It seemed as if these three corpses were delicious.
Xiao Xu took out a few pieces of talisman paper and held them between his fingers.
“Delicious…delicious!”
The three beggars rushed forward and rushed towards the mutilated body.
He grabbed a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
