The next morning, Xu Zun came out from under the bed.

Feel the warm sunshine, feel the spirit, and sweep away the haze.

However, he knew in his heart that the fog shrouded in You Dalang's murder case did not dissipate with the sun.

Just in case, he did not sleep in the bed last night, but instead made the bedding into a human shape and then hid it under the bed.

For this reason, he not only fell asleep with a sword, but also carried two sharp daggers.

Fortunately, I was safe overnight and nothing abnormal happened.

Looking at the light passing through the window frame, Xu Zun felt even more real.

He was sure that he was not mentally ill last night, and that someone was indeed following or monitoring him.

So...why are some people following or surveillance themselves?

Is it true that some people don’t want to investigate You Dalang’s case again?

The more this happens, the more Xu Zun is curious, and he feels that the truth hidden behind this case is not simple.

After getting up, servant Xiaoqi had already prepared toiletries for Xu Zun.

Xiaoqi is a young man under 20 years old. His original name was Xiaoqi, but later Xu Zun called him Shun, so he called him Xiaoqi.

Although he was a servant, all the affairs of Xu's house were managed by this young man, and he was the future housekeeper.

"Master," Xiao Qi said while preparing the face wash for Xu Zun, "It seems that your face is not very good. You have no use of the food prepared for you last night. Is something wrong?"

Since Xiaoqi has been busy at home, he still doesn’t know what Xu Zun’s experience was yesterday.

"Oh, nothing," Xu Zun washed his face and replied casually, "It was just that someone knocked a stick and almost framed as a murderer!"

"Ah?" Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard this, "Don't joke! You are the county magistrate, who dares to frame you?"

Yes, Xu Zun thought in his mind that as a county lieutenant, You Dalang dared to frame him, how could he have such courage?

Could it be that he was instructed?

Dangdangdang...

Dangdangdang...

At this moment, a rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"Who is this? Why are you so rude in the early morning?" Xiao Qi frowned, and while chattering, he ran quickly towards the door.

From this rapid knock on the door, Xu Zun could hear that the person knocking on the door must be very anxious.

Could it be, something big happened?

The door opened, but saw the captain Zhao Yu quickly entered the hospital with several constables. He shouted at Xu Zun in a panic look:

"Mr. Xu, Lord. Xu! Something big happened! Something big happened!!"

I click...

Xu Zun was shocked, but he didn't expect that he was really criticized by the crow.

He remembered that he ordered Zhao Yu and others to go to Huaxianglou to investigate the situation yesterday. Could it be... Is something wrong with Huaxianglou?

However, Zhao Yu's next words made Xu Zun confused.

"Sir!" Zhao Yu came closer and said anxiously, "What a big deal happened, the iron...the iron coffin appeared again!"

"Iron Coffin?"

Xu Zun frowned and searched for his memories, but no relevant information popped up.

What's going on?

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Yu said, "Our former county magistrate was exiled because of the iron coffin case!"

I'll go!

Xu Zun widened his eyes and searched for his memories again, and then he found some relevant information in vaguely.

The former county magistrate of Qiuye County was indeed dismissed from office because of the unfavorable investigation of the case, and ended up being exiled to the border and dying in a foreign land.

However, he didn't know what the case was.

"Sir, it's still on the Zhangqiao in the back mountain!" Zhao Yu said, "The location is not bad at all! The county magistrate has passed, so you can go and have a look..."

...

Qiuye County is a county town with a backing mountain. The mountain behind it has no name, so the locals simply call it the back mountain.

Although the back mountain is not high, the terrain is steep. There is only one road to enter the mountain. Zhangqiao is an ordinary stone bridge on this road.

One day two years ago, an incredible major murder occurred on this stone bridge.

A dark iron coffin appeared on the broken Zhangqiao inexplicably!

Next to the iron coffin, 37 corpses were scattered everywhere, and 37 people died in a tragic way, ferocious and terrifying manner!

It is said that it was early winter, and the streams under the bridge were dyed red with blood, which was shocking, which made the people who saw it look like it.

The case was serious and soon alarmed the governor of Tangzhou.

The governor asked Xinye County Government to investigate the case quickly. But the case was very strange. After the investigation, not to mention the origin of the iron coffin, even those who were deceased were not clear.

In the end, the governor was furious and dismissed the county magistrate and the county magistrate to investigate. The county magistrate was exiled to the border and finally died in a foreign land.

I really didn’t expect that two years later, the second day after Xu Zun came to this world, the iron coffin actually appeared again!

It really doesn't make people take a breath!

Xu Zun was depressed. The case of You Dalang killing his wife was not yet found out, but another shocking case broke out. This time travel was enough to cheat my father.

After carefully searching for memories, he found that when the iron coffin case happened, he was indeed in Qiuye County.

However, at that time, he was not a county magistrate, and the government blocked the information about the iron coffin case in order not to cause panic, so Xu Zun did not know about this case.

But now it’s different. As the current county magistrate, I have undoubtedly become the person with the greatest pressure.

If I still can't handle this case this time, I might repeat the mistake of becoming a county lieutenant.

County Magistrate Qiu is the disciple of the new imperial examination. If the case is not handled effectively, I am afraid that the blame will be taken by himself.

"Old Zhao," Xu Zun asked Zhao Yu, "How many people died this time?"

"I don't know much!" Zhao Yu replied truthfully, "I haven't arrived at the scene yet, but I heard from the person who reported the case that no body seemed to be found."

"Oh," Xu Zun felt a little comforted and asked again, "So, what was there in the iron coffin case last time?"

"Well..." Zhao Yu replied, "I don't know either!"

"Don't make trouble!" Xu Zun said, "You have been a constable for more than ten years. Since Qiuye County was asked to investigate the case at that time, how could you not know?"

"Sir," Zhao Yu first looked at both sides, and then replied in a low voice, "At that time, I had not been promoted yet, I was just an ordinary detective and could not reach the core of the case at all.

"I only remember that before the iron coffin had been opened, the people from the County Magistrate's Office and the Governor's Office had arrived!" Zhao Yuyan said, "They blocked the scene and removed the iron coffin and the body, but asked our Qiuye County to thoroughly investigate the case, alas..."

emmm...

Xu Zun murmured to himself, feeling only one head and two big ones.

What is the logic of this?

Since I was asked to investigate the case, but I took away all the evidence, what's the reason?

"Sir," Zhao Yu said restlessly, "I saw that iron coffin with my own eyes, and it was so scary!"
