Chapter 303 King Han, I was wrong
"We happen to have a lot of rooms available in our inn today. We can accommodate any requests you have." The shopkeeper said with a smile. There has been no business for a few days, so of course they have to entertain so many people who suddenly came.
Jiang Yunxi smiled, "It's not that there are so many people coming to the house today, it's because some people here had their hearts dug out, and the outsiders were so scared that those who could leave left, so there are not many customers anymore."
The shopkeeper didn't expect them to know about this, and his expression was a little embarrassed. "Yes, yes, but don't worry, Qingxi Town is definitely safe. The authorities are investigating the murderer."
"Arrange ten rooms for us and prepare a sumptuous dinner." Jiang Yunxi said. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't have much time to rest on the road. After all, there were still several places to go.
I don’t know if I can find other formation points before New Year’s Eve.
"Okay, please take a seat." The shopkeeper immediately went to make arrangements.
After the room is arranged.
Qi Yan and Xuan Qi took everyone's bags to their respective rooms and then returned to the hall.
"Boss, come over and have a chat." Jiang Yunxi smiled at the boss at the counter.
"Coming, coming." The shopkeeper was very happy. He just wanted to serve them well and hoped that they would stay here for a few more days.
Jiang Yunxi got straight to the point and asked, "As soon as we arrived in Qingxi Town, we heard that many people had their hearts dug out. Who were the dead?"
Seeing that they knew, the shopkeeper had nothing to hide. "There were both men and women, all young people around thirteen or fourteen years old. The families of these deceased were quite wealthy."
Jiang Yunxi frowned, "Did they offend someone?"
The shopkeeper said seriously, "I don't know about that. The government hasn't investigated it yet, and we don't know what happened."
"Is there any connection between these deceased people?" Jiang Yunxi continued to ask.
"They are all children from different families. Oh, one thing is, they are all students of Wutong Academy." The shopkeeper said after thinking of something. After these people died, their homes collapsed.
"Wutong Academy is in Qingxi Town?" Jiang Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's on the hill behind the town. It's quite close."
"I understand, thank you." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
"You're welcome. Feel free to ask whatever you want to know." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.
Jiang Yunxi smiled, "There's nothing else I want to know for now, boss, please go back to your work."
The shopkeeper said okay and left.
"Why did the murderer kill these thirteen or fourteen-year-old scholars and dig out their hearts? Why did he dig out their hearts?" Jiang Jingyan's face was full of anger. This method was quite cruel.
Zhan Luochen's eyes lit up, "Is it that array point? The array point has become a spirit, and she wants to eat the heart to use for cultivation."
Jiang Jingyan said loudly: "Yes, what you said is really possible."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
"It's impossible for the array points to become spirits and cultivate by eating hearts. Tianji Sect will never allow such aliens to exist." Gu Zhoubai said very confidently. If such an evil spirit really appeared in Qingxi Town, Tianji Sect would have sensed it long ago.
"After dinner, I'll go check out the body." Jiang Yunxi said. She would know whether it was a monster or not after she looked at the wound.
"I'm going too." Jiang Jingyan said.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at him and said, "Whatever."
Because there were no other guests, the inn served the food very quickly. The owner even specially sent some dishes, and even sent pastries and egg custard specifically for Mo Mo Mian Mian.
After dinner.
Jiang Yunxi and his group went to see the body, while Qi Yan and others stayed in the inn with Mo Mo Mianmian.
Gu Zhoubai took them to the yamen. There was no county magistrate here, and it was managed by the county magistrate.
"Your Highness Prince Han." Zhang Zhiyu quickly saluted after seeing the token representing his identity in Zhan Beiyuan's hand.
"I heard that many young people had their hearts dug out recently. Are their bodies there?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"Some are here, and some have been taken home by their families. The coroner checked and found that they all died from having their hearts dug out." Zhang Zhiyu hurriedly reported the situation, feeling extremely nervous.
"Take me to see it." Zhan Beiyuan ordered.
"Yes, please come in." Zhang Zhiyu said respectfully, then he thought that with His Royal Highness Prince Han here, they would surely find out the murderer quickly, so that the deceased's family would not have to come to the yamen to make trouble all the time.
morgue.
Jiang Yunxi picked up the gloves on the table and put them on. There were still five bodies here. She opened them one by one and examined them carefully. Apart from a bloody hole in the chest, there were no other injuries on the body and no signs of poisoning.
The others looked at the five bodies. They all had the same wounds, obviously caused by the same person.
"Where did they all die?" Jiang Yunxi asked the county magistrate.
"At home or in the academy, their hearts were dug out after they went to bed at night. I found the bodies in the morning when I went to their rooms because they didn't get up." Zhang Zhiyu said quickly.
Jiang Yunxi walked outside and everyone else followed.
In the yard.
She looked at Zhang Zhiyu and asked, "Have you checked whether they have had any conflicts with anyone recently?"
"I checked and there is no conflict," said Zhang Zhiyu.
"Are you sure? No one would kill people for no reason, and they are all students of Wutong Academy." Jiang Yunxi's face darkened, and his eyes were like sharp knives.
"Sir Zhang, you'd better tell the truth. I don't have much patience. If I find out, it won't be just your hat that will be removed, but your head." Zhan Beiyuan threatened with a dark face.
Zhang Zhiyu's legs trembled when he heard this. He knelt on the ground in fear and stammered, "Han, Your Highness Prince Han, I, I say..."
"Some time ago, a thirteen-year-old male student died at Wutong Academy. His hands were broken, his legs were broken, his eyes were gouged out, and his body had countless knife wounds. Finally, he was..."
"By what?" Jiang Yunxi was already furious.
"He was not dead yet and was buried alive. The child's parents immediately reported to the police after learning of his death. I, I quickly found some clues, but, but..." Zhang Zhiyu couldn't continue.
"Tell me the truth, you bastard!" Zhan Luochen kicked him angrily. He had guessed something.
"I told the couple that we had no leads, but within two days, they died. The case ended there. But a few days later, these students had their hearts dug out."
"Could the murderer who dug out the heart be their ghost?" Zhang Zhiyu felt a chill on his back when he said this, which was why he couldn't find any traces at the scene.
Jiang Yunxi sneered, "It's not a ghost."
She already knew the whole thing.
The student was killed by these students together, and as a result his parents also died. Some people couldn't bear to see this and took revenge for the family of three in their own way.
I can only say that those who had their hearts dug out deserve it.
If you do evil, you must bear the consequences.
"That, that is..." Zhang Zhiyu widened his eyes.
"You are a dog official. You don't give justice to the deceased, but protect those who committed crimes. You are not worthy of being an official." Zhan Beiyuan said angrily. He naturally guessed what was going on.
"King Han, I was wrong. I know my crime..." Zhang Zhiyu kept kowtowing and admitting his mistakes, feeling both fear and regret in his heart.
Jiang Yunxi walked away with a thoughtful look on her face. When she was checking the wound just now, she sensed a strange breath.
"I know where the person who dug out their hearts is." Jinxiu said softly. She knew that she was one of the points in the formation, so she suggested coming out with Jiang Yunxi and the others.
This is her last time, she wants to see more of the world and spend more time with them.
