"What's the matter? What about the pig's knife?" Chi Shi asked.

When Captain Zhang looked up and down at Chi, he was very beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, just a pair of eyes, so deep that it was hard to see clearly. He was thin and slender, as if he could squeeze him out by stretching out his hand.

But when such a young man came back to Lingling for the first time, he could tell what the deceased did after only a few glances at the corpse. This made him feel that his coronership for so many years seemed to have been in vain.

I saw him being arrogant before, but I thought he deserved a beating; but now, no matter how arrogant this person is, he thinks it is right.

Captain Zhang shook his head, "Chun Niang is the oldest master in Jinxiu Pavilion. She has never gotten married. She accepted an apprentice named Cui Die and kept it under her knees. Cui Die said that Chun Niang has been restless recently, and has been having nightmares at night, yelling to leave the water."

"Just a few days ago, she resigned with her boss and said she would never take Xi's job again. Cuidie had already packed up her bag and waited for her at home. When she finished talking to Lord Chen, they went to Yuezhou to join their relatives together."

"But I asked Cuidi, and she said that Chun Niang was an orphan and had never heard of a relative before."

"As for the killing of pigs," Captain Zhang said, his tone heavier, "In Lingling City, there are about twenty butchers, including four close to the county government. The stalls have been closed at this time. I asked, all the four butchers were eating at home well, and no one went out."

Chi Shi frowned, picked up the cinnabar on the table, and on the map of the house, he pointed the red dot of Chun Niang and marked the number eight. She turned around and continued to look at the third deceased Li Debao, "Cheng Niang is an insider and was silenced."

"A pig-killing knife is a rare thing, and it does not exist in ordinary people."

Chi Shi said, feeling a little sad. In this era, there were many magic weapons for identification. If she had put it in the past, she would take over the more than 20 pig-killing knives and check which one was the weapon.

Captain Zhang nodded, "I will continue to check the butchers in the city."

Chi Shi did not respond, and then he checked Li Debaolai, "The deceased's face and wrists were not bruised. You said before that he was playing outside and was thirsty. The servant went into the room to get water and drank sugar water with arsenic."

"He voluntarily drank sugar water, and no one forced him. He either lures or acquaintances. Arsenic is a medicinal material. After drinking it, he will not die immediately. The murderer put a large dose."

She said, walked to the fourth deceased and lifted the white cloth.

Zhou Xian followed Chi Shi and looked up. This was a young monk. Compared to the previous few people, he was devastated and unbearable to look at him. "No wonder Mr. Chen didn't think this was a serial murder case before. The murderer's method of killing was too casual."

There is no connection between the dead, there are gangsters, famous women, children, and now there are even monks...

"The fourth deceased is a monk from Lingyun Temple nearby, with the name Fahui. Lingyun Temple often performs rituals for the deceased and is good at liberating the deceased. Master Fahui will go to the big bluestone on the back mountain to meditate every day... When he was discovered, he had fallen down the cliff."

After Chi Huo finished explaining, he saw Chi Shi standing there, without moving for a long time, and did not speak. He hesitated to stretch out his two fingers and carefully pulled Chi Shi's sleeve, "Ninth Brother?"

Chi Shi ignored him, turned around suddenly, sat at the table, picked up the pen, dipped it ink, and started writing.

"Master Fahui was chanting sutras for Li Debao that day?" Chi Shi wrote so much that he wrote for a long time before asking.

Chi Huo was stunned and looked at Captain Zhang.

Not every coroner can solve the case like Chi Shi. At that time, he had not come to Lingling City yet. Even if he came, there were so many corpses that could not be tested, so how could he ask these inexplicable things?

When Captain Zhang saw Chi, he was extremely serious and a little panicked, "Yes... My brother-in-law Li Yuanwai, when he was old, he attached great importance to his son. Debao must stay in the county government and cannot be buried. The people from Li's mansion took his clothes and went to Lingyun Temple to ask the master to recite scriptures."

"After all, he is a child and dies in vain."

Chi Shi added a few more strokes on the paper, and then asked, "Where is Li Debao studying?"

Captain Zhang was stunned and suddenly looked at the second deceased, "In Lingling Academy, almost all the children in the city went to elementary school in Lingling Academy. Lingling Academy was run by Mrs. Xiu's two scholarly sons."

Chi Shi nodded, without saying anything more, stood up and continued to look at the body behind him.

"The fifth deceased is Mr. Chen's wife and sister, named Yunniang. One day, Yunniang went out on the street and suddenly fell to the ground and died suddenly..." Chi Huo said, blushing and lowered his head embarrassedly, "It's shameful to say that I still don't know how she died."

"There was no bruises on her body. When I was in the autopsy, I found that she had black blood in her mouth, ears and nose, and I suspected that she was poisoned. But how did she get poisoned? I have checked all the food she used and the clothes she wore, but it was not poisoned."

"And, Lord Chen's family would ask the doctor to treat Ping'an's pulse every month. On the morning of Yunniang's death, the doctor had just taken the pulse."

Zhou Xian listened with his ears, but his eyes couldn't help looking at the piece of paper that Chi Shi placed on the table, "You might as well breathe a sigh of relief and tell all the dead behind him first, and then let Chi Shi slowly find out the cause of their death."

"There are many people nowadays, and he can only take a closer look until it is late at night."

Indeed, there are almost few coroners who like to be watched by the autopsy. Lord Chen is still there, and I feel embarrassed to attack his sister-in-law.

When Chi Huo heard this, he looked at Chi Shi inquiring, "Ninth Brother?"

When he saw Chi, he nodded, and he continued to introduce it, "The sixth deceased was a woman named Li E. When the yamen runners found her, she was on a small boat in the center of the lake. The boat caught fire and she was burned to death."

"The seventh deceased was the owner of the Big Skeleton Tavern. He was walking on the road and was smashed into the back of his head with a stone and killed him on the spot. The causes of death of these two people were very obvious. The murderer almost no longer concealed his sinful behavior."

"The method of killing is getting more and more intense! Including the eighth embroidered girl who was cut in the street, the way of death of eight people is different. The murderer seems to be trying different methods of killing, trying to find the one that suits him the most."

"Now," Chi Huo said, raised his hand and pointed to the map with red dots, and looked around everyone in the room, "The next step is, this red dot will be in the county government office. If the case is not solved, the person who died will be you and me."

"He is clearly a competition with us!"

He said, grabbing his hand excitedly. When he came, six people had died in Lingling. If he could solve the case immediately, would he be the seventh or eighth person not have to die?

"You're right or not," Chi Shi shook his head and interrupted Chi Huo's passion, "The murderer is not alone."
