There are two counties in the capital, Taikang and Changle.

Song Tingfeng begins to read the dossier. Xu Qian and Zhu Guangxiu stand on the left and right sides, staring at the dossier together.

The contents of the dossier are as follows:

there is a Dahuang mountain in the north of Taikang county. The main peak is more than 1000 meters high, and the mountains are more than ten miles long, rich in limestone.

It has fed hundreds and thousands of grey households around.

Huihu is a craftsman who collects and makes lime.

Since the middle of the year, a monster has been flowing out of the river in the field of Dahuangshan. It often goes ashore to devour the living. Many grey households have lost their lives in the mouth of the monster.

"Lack of details..." Xu Qi'an, a veteran criminal investigator, read the file and made a judgment.

This should be the case just reported, so we need to investigate and improve the file.

Li Yuchun's eyes passed over the three men, and his face was serious: "Xu Ningyan, the sabre is tightened two inches, the position of the Gong is not straight enough, it is tilted one inch to the left."

... psycho, you're late with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Xu Qi'an said, "yes!"

Out of the spring breeze hall, just across the threshold, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt that he had stepped on a knot in one's heart. He naturally lowered his head to pick it up, but suddenly froze.

Silver... Heavier.

"Let's go." Song Tingfeng turns to urge.

"Oh, good." Xu Qi'an put the broken silver in his arms and kept up.

...

in the hall, Li Yuchun took out the money bag he had put in the box and hung it on his waist. As he was about to go out, he frowned fiercely.

Open the purse, pour out a pile of broken silver, count it carefully, and immediately frown: "I lost three coins..."

as a person who was teased by his colleagues that "I can't get along with money", three coins are enough to make him hurt until dark.

The three met the captor of Jingzhao mansion outside the watchman's Yamen. There were also three people, the first was a woman, and the other two were slightly younger.

Jingzhaofu is commonly known as Fuya. The difference between

three Kwai suit and Xu Qian's fast hand is not much different. The black is the bottom, and the neckline and cuff are lined with red.

What is embroidered on the chest is not the word "catch", but a majestic beast.

One practicing Qi State, two refining Jing state... Xu Qi'an quietly observed the three people.

The woman at the head hugged her fist and said, "three adults, I'm Lu Qing. I've ordered the horses to be led to the gate of the city. Let's get into the carriage and talk

Riding a horse is to drive, while riding a carriage is to give everyone a space to talk about things without wasting time.

The watchmen are in a high position. When the watchmen of other yamen see them, they are naturally short. However, although the woman who practiced Qi called adult, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

A spacious carriage stopped on the side of the street, and it was not too crowded for six people to sit in.

Three of the watchmen sat on the same side, while the three of the Yamen sat on the other side.

Song Tingfeng introduced himself with a smile, and also introduced Zhu Guangxiao and Xu Qian.

"You should be familiar with this one. He was locked up in the Yamen when the tax and bank case happened."

Three captains of Jingzhao mansion carefully examined Xu Qi'an.

The female constable, who called herself LV Qing, said: "I've heard a lot about you."

The tax case was handled by the government. As a Constable of the government, she remembers Xu Qi'an.

At that time, I felt that this man was quite capable, and repeatedly persuaded Fu Yin to invite him to work in the government. Seeing that Xu Qi'an had become a watchman, LV Qing sighed with regret.

Xu Qi'an said a few modest words with a smile, and looked at the female constable.

It's rare for a woman to be a constable.

The women of Dafeng Dynasty were not all raised in boudoir, for some highly gifted women, each yamen will give certain cultivation.

The female Constable has a pretty face, about in her early thirties, and her eyebrows are thicker than those of ordinary women.

Her graceful body is as vigorous as a female leopard. Chest bulge, should be wearing a bra underwear.

It is only now that Xu Qi'an knows why the tax and banking case was not handed over to the Ministry of punishment, but was handled jointly by the government and the watchmen. He was still surprised at this.

Because Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China had a lot of friends.

These details have not come to light until now.

"The content of the file is simple, and many details are not clear. Your government took over the case first. Let's exchange views." Song Tingfeng said: "when did the monster appear?"

"June and July." The female captor's voice is slightly smoky and magnetic.

"Can anyone see what the monster looks like?" Song Tingfeng asked again.

"At the beginning, the local grey household often disappeared. When the family searched for it, they found the monster's paw prints and blood stains by the river. After that, one after another, the gray households disappeared, and more and more paw marks were found on the Bank of the river. But without success, the net was easily bittenIt's amphibians! Xu Qi'an said.

After hearing this, song Tingfeng frowned and asked, "what I doubt is that what happened in June and July, why did you report it now?"

"The demons only devoured the Huihu in the mountain, but did not attack the village, so at first the magistrate of Taikang didn't care. It was not until more and more people died that the catchers were sent to unite with the grey household to kill the demons, but nothing was found. "

While speaking, LV Qing often looks at Xu Qi'an, but to her disappointment, the talented person who solved the tax and banking case has been silent.

"Several times later, Taikang county magistrate was not willing to take charge of the case any more. In other words, with the approach of Beijing investigation, he not only did not deal with the case, but planned to suppress it."

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice, "why did you report it again?"

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, and said: "the ash farmers dare not go up to the mountain to burn ash, but they still have to pay taxes. If there is no way, they will go far into the mountain and avoid the river. As a result, there was an accident...

"more than 20 people who went to the mountain to burn ashes never came back. There's really no way for the nearby grey households to go to the Yamen. "

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at each other and said nothing more.

Dudu...

at this time, Xu Qi'an knocked on the bench, looked at the three people in Jingzhao mansion and asked, "do you have a map of Dahuang mountain and nearby villages?"

"Yes, considering that the realm of the monster is unknown, we plan to explore by ourselves first, without taking the local grey household, so as not to have an accident and be unable to take care of it." LV Qing looks at his colleagues sitting on the side. They take out a picture book from the baggage they carry.

Xu Qi'an took the map and unfolded it slowly. This is a map of the great Huang mountains.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, Xu Qi'an said, "I have a guess. I think we should let you know."

A group of people in the carriage came to see it, and song Tingfeng narrowed his eyes with a smile.

The female constable's eyes brightened slightly and sat upright: "please say."

Xu Qi'an said: "it attacks the people regularly, or with a strong purpose. This may not be a simple monster

Lu Qing wrinkled her delicate eyebrows: "why do you say that?"

"At first, it just devoured the Huihu near the river, and then the scope began to expand, radiating outward from both sides of the river. All the way to the mountain. It's not just for hunting.

"First of all, the river of Dahuangshan stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is no shortage of fish and shrimp in the river. The animal's choice of food is determined by its environment, not its own taste. If there is no lack of food around him, he will never be far away. In order to have a good bite, he goes into the mountains to hunt the common people.

"Secondly, if it is a wise monster, it is different from wild animals in that it likes to eat people. Then it won't turn a blind eye to the nearby villages. But it didn't. It only ate into the Huihu near the Dahuang mountain.

According to the analysis of behavioral psychology, this is a conscious drive

Behavioral psychology?! Lu Qing pondered: "delimit the territory?"

Without waiting for Xu Qian to reply, song Tingfeng shook his head: "no, if it has wisdom, it will never delimit territory in this way. It is no different from seeking death to plot a site in the outskirts of the capital. And if it's just a ferocious beast, it won't drive out the Huihu. "

LV Qing thought for a while, and her pupils narrowed: "there's something in the big yellow mountain that it cares about."

There was a brief silence in the carriage.

PS: later, I wrote a guide to the official account of the Da Gong Hua Gua Niang, which is not written by me, but written by enthusiastic readers.

The wrong words in the last chapter have been revised. Well, change them first and then.
