Chen Zhu explained repeatedly, which dispelled the doubts of Ji Que and the others.

He just found it too difficult.

I didn't see the woman wearing only socks and no clothes, and I didn't see the beautiful widow. I only saw a few scary corpses, but my companions repeatedly suspected me.

But Chen Zhu himself felt a little strange, why he couldn't help being agitated when he saw the woman's sock, no, even when he heard about the woman's sock.

"Could it be a prostitute addict who has been silent for many years?"

Except that Mrs. Zhao's clothes are a bit coquettish, there is still not much abnormality in this room.

But at this time, Lin Xiangzhi suddenly lay on the ground and looked under the bed.

Ji Que lay next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiangzhi frowned and said, "The smell under this bed is not right, as if someone sweated a lot here, no, even urinated?"

Ji Que asked in surprise: "Sweating and urinating under the bed, why does it sound so exciting? Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Lin Xiangzhi shook her head and said, "I can't smell it."

Chen Zhu finally couldn't help but said, "I have a way."

After that, he took out a mouse with red eyes.

Ji Que asked in surprise, "Isn't this Qingqi Division's tracking mouse?"

Chen Zhu nodded and said, "I didn't use it up last time, so I'll take it with me if I'm prepared."

Without hesitation, Ji Que lifted the bed, revealing the entire floor under the bed.

If someone here really sweated and urinated, they should have been away for a while, so that Ji Que could only smell a little bit by sniffing carefully.

Lin Xiangzhi pointed to a certain place, and Chen Zhu immediately held down the mouse's head and placed it there.

The mouse licked it, bit off a piece of the board with a click, and began to chew.

They knew that as long as the mouse ate something with that smell, it could start tracking it by following the smell.

It's just that this person hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't know if he can catch up.

The mouse's eyes quickly turned redder, and its limbs flailed about in excitement.

As soon as Chen Zhu let go, the mouse jumped out of the window lightly.

As before, Ji Que and the others followed behind the mouse.

It was dusk at this time, and the chill in this area became thicker before nightfall, and there were a lot fewer people on the streets of Qingping County.

But this also facilitates Ji Que's tracking.

Occasionally, passers-by were surprised to see two men and two women running after a mouse.

With so many people chasing them, how much hatred do they have against mice?

After leaving the low city walls, the outskirts of the city became even more barren.

Outside the city walls were cleared fields.

The field goes up the slope, layer by layer, like a wide ladder.

The vegetable seedlings and grass seedlings in the field are relatively short, and the food and vegetables produced are naturally very average, but because Qingping County has not many people, it should be self-sufficient.

After walking for a while, the fields gradually became barren, replaced by wild grass and wild forests.

A gust of wind blew, and the half-person tall wild grass swayed with the wind, as if hiding many terrible things.

The mouse didn't stop for a moment, and burrowed into a forest.

At this time, only the afterglow of the setting sun remained in the sky, and after entering the wild forest, it was like nightfall.

The branches and leaves of the tall trees blocked the skylight, and there were fireflies flying randomly in the forest, which were quite conspicuous.

The dimly lit woods are very quiet, with occasional cries of night owls and the sound of flapping wings of big birds, making it even more profound and frightening.

The four of Ji Que stepped on the ground full of fallen leaves, rustling.

In the darkness, the mouse's red eyes stood out a lot.

At this time, the mouse stopped and wiped its mouth with its forelimbs, looking tired.

Chen Zhu immediately ran forward, poured some water on his hand, and gave it a drink.

After taking two sips, the red-eyed mouse continued on its way.

Accompanied by the sound of rustling weeds being separated, under the faint blue sky, the outline of a dilapidated building appeared in sight.

This is a deserted house.

Few locals in Qingping County know about this kind of deserted house in the wilderness.

Because Ji Que and the others walked all the way, there were no traces of people.

But this is not uncommon. After so many years in this world, in this long time, it is inevitable that there will be chaos and many places will be abandoned.

With the demise of the population and the overgrowth of weeds that flooded the previous roads, these abandoned houses were naturally unknown.

Under the night, the walls of the courtyard collapsed in many places, moss grew on the dilapidated walls, and kobresia grew continuously on the top, like a corpse that had rotted for a long time.

The little mouse has entered the house.

Ji Que followed closely.

Because here, it gives people a feeling of going to the destination.

Whether it is a murderous bandit or an evil spirit, they often like to hide in this kind of place.

Ji Que spotted a gap in the broken wall, and got in like an agile cheetah.

The first thing you see when you enter the yard is a withered tree.

The big tree is about four people hugging thick, the whole body is light gray, the branches are stretched wantonly, without a single branch and leaf, like gray pythons, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding green mountains and forests.

Next to the big tree should be the main hall of this house, which is the most spacious compared to other houses.

At this time, the red-eyed mouse had already entered.

The roof of the main hall was pierced by tree branches, as if there were giant pythons lying above it, making it quite depressing.

After the mouse came to the main hall, it didn't stop, but continued to run forward.

Behind this desolate house was wild forest and wild grass, and the mouse quickly sank into it.

Ji Que and the others hurriedly followed, after all, the weeds are too thick here, and it is easy to lose track of the mice.

As a result, within two steps of getting into the wild grass, a sudden scene jumped into the eyes of Ji Que and the others without any precaution.

Even the bold Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but tilt their heads back when they saw this scene.

Under the pale moonlight, it was a not-so-tall wild tree.

The branches and leaves of the wild trees are not very luxuriant, so the human head inserted on the branch is particularly eye-catching.

The head's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible before he died, and his eyeballs were protruding.

And his tongue sticks out, like a hanged ghost.

Ji Que and the others walked forward slowly, and under the pale moonlight, they found that there were still a few words written on their tongues - "Mind your own business".

They chased here with Qingqi Division's tracking mouse, and what they got was a human head and the words "Meddle in Your Business" on the tongue of the human head.

This kind of picture is not as grand as Fenglian Goddess when the snow falls, and it is not as weird as all the repetitions of Changxuguan, but it gives people a sense of panic that penetrates into the bone marrow.

Because it came so suddenly.

This kind of abruptness is very similar to some clips in a bad horror movie. The music has slowed down and the picture has become soft. As a result, in an instant, a grimace jumps on your face.

When they chased to the deserted house, they were actually prepared in their hearts, thinking that the person they were looking for might be inside, but the mouse did not stay, but ran all the way out.

They were afraid that the mouse would get lost, so they speeded up and let down their guard, thinking that this was just a transit station and there was still a long way to go.

But this human head jumped into the eyes at this moment, and Lin Xiangzhi was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

Ji Que took off the head, and in the eyes of Chen Zhu and others, there was an illusion that the head would suddenly jump in and bite people.

It was a man's head, and judging from the inconspicuous spots on his skin, he hadn't been dead for too long.

Ning Hongyu looked at the head and said, "The other party seems to have foreseen that we will find this place by relying on that smell, so this is a warning."

Judging from the current situation, the murderer is indeed in control of the overall situation, and even seems to be playing tricks on them.

The mouse only found it here, and the clues were interrupted again, which was undoubtedly frustrating.

Ji Que was not affected too much, because the long-term misfortune, such as he accidentally stepped into a snake's nest twice and was bitten three times by a poisonous snake, had already created his strong nerves.

He decided to confirm the identity of the head owner first.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yuyu, the head catcher in Qingping County, had already rested.

There was an accident in the county in the past few days, and he was already very busy and exhausted. Finally, he had the opportunity to sleep well. Naturally, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, so that his wife couldn't help scolding him two words "dead man!".

As a result, he hadn't slept for long when he was woken up by a hasty knock on the door.

"Captor Zhao."

"Captor Zhao."

Chen Zhu knocked on the door and shouted.

Zhao Yuyu was kicked out of bed by his wife.

So he could only put on his clothes and pants with sleepy eyes and scarlet eyes, and went to open the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's us."

As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Yuyu cheered up and showed respect when he found out that it was the demon descendants today.

After all, this case can only be solved by handing it over to these devil-falling men.

And this case has not been resolved, he just lives a good life every day.

"What's the matter, everyone?"

"I want you to help check someone." Ning Hongyu said.

"Who?" Zhao Yuyu asked.

"this one."

Ji Que held the head and handed it to Zhao Yuyu.

The next moment, Zhao Yuyu screamed in fright and sat on the ground.

After a long time, he came back to his senses.

The deeds of these devil-falling men are too violent, who can bear to hand over a human head suddenly in the middle of the night.

However, Zhao Yuyu, as a head catcher in the county, has the ability to see familiar faces.

He quickly identified the head as Cao Ping, who moved here a few years ago.

"This man is not from our county. Later he came here to buy a house. He is lame in one leg, but he should not be short of money, because he often goes in and out of the local Goulan." Zhao Yuyu looked at the head and said with lingering fear.

Ning Hongyu asked: "Then does he have any friends?"

Cao Ping shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of anyone who is particularly familiar with him, but I heard that he likes the Yuque girl in the brothel the most."

Ji Que pressed his shoulder and said, "Then take us to Miss Yuque."

Then by the way, see the local brothel.

Behind this is his idea, so naturally he didn't say it.

It was late at night, and there was a feeling of complete silence in Qingping County, and there were few houses with lights on the road.

This made Ji Que think of his hometown of Sangshui County.

However, Qingping County is better than Sangshui County in that there are several bustling brothels and Goulan.

Unlike Sangshui County, if you just want to find a girl to relieve your loneliness, you have to walk dozens of miles to the next county.

At this time, the brothel is still lively.

The red silk ribbon at the door fluttered with the wind, accompanied by the rich aroma of wine and rouge, giving people a feeling of intoxication.

It's just that as soon as Ji Que and the others entered, the building became much quieter.

It's common to visit brothels, but it's rare to take girls to brothels.

The point is, the two girls who came in can be said to be stunning, so many customers looked at the rouge vulgar powder next to them, and they were quite fond of them at first, but they felt that the other party had become ugly for a while, so they couldn't talk about it.

The bustard of the brothel came out first, and when he saw the sleepy Zhao catcher, he became enthusiastic and said, "Catcher, why are you here?"

It can be seen from this that the head catcher is indeed a regular customer inside, otherwise he would not be so clear about Cao Ping's affairs.

"Call Miss Yuque." Zhao Butou said.

"But there are other guests at Que'er." The old bustard questioned.

"As for handling the case, I have to pull out any clients!" Zhao Butou said with a righteous face.

In front of these masters of the devil's descendant, he can have some image.

Just as the old bustard was about to say something, he was stopped by Catcher Zhao, who scolded: "Hurry up! Do you want to be arrested? Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is inside, I have to ask Yu Que to come out."

After a while, the magistrate came out from inside.

Zhao Catcher softened his head and said, "My lord, I really didn't know you were inside."

The county magistrate was very respectful when he saw Ji Que and the others, and said: "I made a joke of you, the officer was really scared and couldn't sleep, so I went to this lively place to calm down."

Afterwards, Ji Que and the others met Miss Yuque.

At the beginning, when she heard that four people wanted to see her, Yuque couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and said to herself, "So many?"

Until she saw Ji Que, four people, two men and two women, and the two women were a little too beautiful, her interest suddenly faded.

It turned out not to be that one.

After that, Ji Que started asking about Cao Ping.

Under Zhao Butou's repeated persuasion, he wrapped the head in cloth and hung it around Chen Zhu's waist to avoid scaring people.

Speaking of Cao Ping, Yuque raised his eyebrows and said, "He hasn't been here for a while."

After that, the four of Ji Que asked questions one after another, and gradually found out a little about Cao Ping's life.

That is, sometimes Cao Ping would brag to Miss Yuque when he was drunk, bragging that he didn't spend any money playing with women back then, and some women even gave him money.

As for which women, Yuque didn't ask too much, because she had a lot of bragging.

For example, the one just now said that she was very majestic, but she couldn't do it after only two breaths. She thought it hadn't started yet.

Hearing this, Ji Que thought about it: "Can this explain why Cao Ping is under the bed of Tailor Zhao's house?"

Lin Xiangzhi thought about it: "Stealer blocked?"

"It's possible, then we still have to meet that Mrs. Zhao." Ji Que replied.

Chen Zhu analyzed: "Then Mrs. Zhao is not suspected?"

Ning Hongyu pondered: "The murderer knew that we would search from the bottom of the bed and put Cao Ping's head there to wait for us. If you were Mrs. Zhao, would you do this?"

Deliberately drawing clues to himself is obviously not in line with common sense.

But seeing you is to see you last time.

At this point, Chen Zhu found that he finally had a wish to achieve, and that was to meet the charming wife of the widow.
