On the official road, Gu Changan and his party rode fast.

    Xiaohe village, shaping Town, is only more than 70 miles away from the county city. It has arrived at the scene of the incident in less than an hour.

    The hanging mirror division had already said hello before sending someone, so when Gu Changan arrived, he saw several constables standing at the entrance of the village.

    When they saw Gu Changan walking fast, they wanted to intercept him. When they looked carefully, they saw Gu Changan wearing the black black black armor of the hanging mirror company. They were surprised and hurried forward: "but the adult from the hanging mirror company?"

    "Hanging mirror division Guangyang County thousand households school captain Gu Chang''an!"

    Gu Changan threw the token around his waist and then turned over and dismounted.

    The constable looked at the token. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately called a Yamen to lead the rope, while he presented the token with both hands. At the same time, he said: "Li Ding, patrol inspector of Baisha County, has seen Gu Xiaowei and two adults!"

    First with Gu Changan, and then naturally with Gu Xiaoliu and Guo Xiaosi.

    They just nodded and didn''t say anything else.

    Gu Chang''an nodded slightly, put away the token, then threw his bridle to a Yamen and asked, "what''s the situation inside?"

    He said and walked inside at the same time: "say while walking."

    "The situation is very strange. There are four dead people. They are all young and strong. One of them is a martial artist and is also a person in this village. It is said that they have four heavy physical conditions. They have good cultivation in this village, but there are no obvious wounds on the four dead people and no signs of struggle and resistance."

    "After inspection, I found that all four people lost their Qi and blood essence, so I suspect they were made by evil ways..."

    Speaking of this, he paused and said, "of course, it''s a monster."

    When the words reached here, Li Ding''s face obviously showed a look of fear.

    Speaking of airway practitioners, he is not afraid, but monsters are afraid - it is normal that people are always afraid of the unknown.

    Gu Changan nodded and didn''t care.

    What Li Ding said is basically no different from what is recorded in the file.

    How specific, or after he saw the scene can be concluded.

    While talking, the party had entered the village and came to a square in the village.

    It''s a square. In fact, strictly speaking, it''s just a patio in the middle of the village. Because every village points to this well to use water, there is an open space.

    However, at the moment, the open space has been blocked. Several constables and yamen guards are guarding outside, and many people gather outside to watch.

    "What are you looking at? The adults of the hanging mirror department are coming. Spread out quickly!"

    Li Ding and several constables dispersed the crowd and took Gu Changan to the side of the patio.

    Until then, Gu Changan found that there were four bodies lined up next to the well, all covered with things.

    "Gu Xiaowei, this is the victim."

    Li Ding introduced.

    Gu Chang''an nodded and didn''t speak. He went to a corpse, lifted the cover, and saw a pale or even cyan head in front of him.

    The whole head was skin and bones, and the eyes were sunken, as if the flesh and blood essence were gone.

    But strangely, Gu Changan found the mouth of the body with a slight arc, as if... Laughing!

    Until death, still keep smiling.

    "My God!"

    While Gu Changan was watching, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded in his ear.

    Turning around, he saw Gu Xiaoliu sitting on the ground with a frightened face.

    In front of him was an opened body.

    Obviously, Gu Xiaoliu was curious to check the dead body, but he was frightened.

    Gu Changan chuckled, walked up to Gu Xiaoliu, gently lifted him with his toes, and said angrily: "timid and curious, get up quickly..."

    Gu Xiaoliu got up and hurriedly avoided, but he didn''t look at it any more.

    Gu Changan squatted in front of the body and looked at it. He found that the man''s death was roughly the same as that he first looked at, and before he died, the corners of his mouth also had a faint arc.

    This made Gu Changan slightly stunned.

    It''s not surprising that one is like this. It''s a little unusual that both the dead are like this.

    Thinking so, Gu Changan checked the other two dead and found that the last two dead were also with an arc at the corners of their mouths.

    In particular, the smile on the corners of the mouth of the last deceased was not as if it were nothing, but very obvious, as if he saw something very happy before he died.

    In addition to laughing, there is even a trace of satisfaction.

    "Sir, what did you find?"

    Seeing Gu Chang''an Leng in place, Li Ding came over and asked softly.

    "It''s really strange, but if you want to know whether it''s a monster or a crooked way, you still have to explore it."

    Then, ignoring the stunned Li Ding, Gu Chang''an felt a spell from his inner pocket.

    The spell is made of yellow paper, written in cinnabar and painted with inexplicable symbols. It can be seen that there is a flow of mana.

    This is a spirit detecting talisman produced by the talisman Department of the hanging mirror company. Once it is stimulated by Qi and blood or mana, the Dharma array printed on the spell can reveal the residual breath.

    Then Gu Changan poured the power of Qi and blood into the spell, and then his finger bounced, but he saw that the spell fell on the last body.

    "Buzz ~"

    At the next moment, the spell suddenly showed a bright light. It seemed that some breath on the body was excited and immediately made a slight sound. It seemed that hot oil mixed with water and made a crackling sound.

    Then, a trace of black air filled in, mixed with some pink smell.

    After two breaths, the spell suddenly ignited without wind and dissipated into dust.

    The black and pink smell also dissipated in the air.

    This scene surprised the constables and the people who were watching, and immediately set off a uproar.

    "How are you, my lord?"

    Li Ding came up and asked.

    Gu Chang''an looked around and said softly, "it''s really the smell of monsters, but there is also the smell of some practitioners."

    "Ah!"

    Hearing Gu Changan''s words, Li Ding was immediately startled.

    "Really, really a monster?"

    "I didn''t say that. Although there is the evil spirit of monsters, there are more evil practitioners whose mana fluctuates. I''m not sure. Maybe they are practitioners?"

    Saying this, Gu Changan suddenly grinned.

    Look at the whole mountain village.

    At this time, the setting sun set and the red afterglow shrouded the village, which seemed to cover the village with a red film, with a faint feeling.

    The noise of the people in my ears seems to be far away.

    This made Gu Chang''an not help but smile and sigh: "but whether it''s a monster or a practitioner, since he made this case, he will hide if he wants to. It''s difficult to find him..."

    "What your excellency said is."

    Li Ding nodded yes.

    "But... Whether monsters or practitioners, since they harm people, they always have a motive, don''t you think?" Gu Changan suddenly said.

    "What your excellency said is."

    Li Ding nodded again and again.

    "Tell me to go down and see who these four people have contacted, where they have gone and what they have done in the last ten days. Make a thorough investigation." Gu Changan said softly.

    ……

    ……

    PS: maybe I didn''t explain clearly. The reason why the Xu family took the risk of chasing Gu Chang''an was that the eldest Miss Xu Yiyao didn''t know her life and death. She suspected that she had been XX by the flower picking thief. If the matter came out, the Liu family would terminate the engagement. If there was no such thing, even if Xu Yiyao died, the Liu family could not terminate the engagement.

    Once the marriage contract is dissolved, the Xu family has no ancestors, and the other two will be in trouble, and the Xu family is bound to decline.

    From the perspective of Xu Yicheng, he naturally did not want the Xu family to decline or even collapse, so he could only risk killing the protagonist to block the news.

    In this way, the killing of Gu Changan will be dangerous, and the suspension mirror company may trace it. However, compared with the crisis of the Xu family, this risk is still worth taking, at least for Xu Yicheng.

    Seeing everyone''s doubts about the plot, I doubt whether I didn''t explain it clearly in the text
