Yang Xiu secretly admired Ji Nuan's courage. She was a headless female corpse. She was a little scared and disgusted when she first met her, but she had no emotional fluctuations.

"The first one to find her was a grandma who sold tofu. The grandma was frightened and should still be with Dr. Zhang. After we arrived, we searched for her head everywhere, but we didn't find it."

"Have the identity of the deceased been confirmed? Is anyone here to report the case?" Ji Nuan asked while continuing to check the female corpse and found that the corpse was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with long and smooth and delicate fingers, and a heavy smell of powder on her body.

Yang Xiu: "The deceased's head is gone, his identity is still unclear, and no one has reported the case to the yamen."

"From the current situation, if the deceased is not the daughter of a wealthy family, there is only one possibility, she is a brothel woman."

Yang Xiu was also doing some idle jobs every day, and was really not good at detecting cases. He immediately wondered: "How can I see it?"

"If a woman in a wealthy family disappears, she will definitely come to the government office to report the case as soon as possible. There are many people in the brothels, and there are more people inside, and there is one less person, so naturally they will not be discovered immediately."

"You guys go to several brothels in the town to ask about it. Yang Xiu and I will go to the scene of the murder, and then meet the witnesses. Remember, if you find out which brothel has lost someone, don't scold me first, wait for me to ask."

"Yes," several yamen runners left respectfully.

Ji Nuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. They didn't know how to protect the scene of the murder and brought the body back. For the sake of the present, they could only try their luck again. To see if there were any clues left on the scene, the head must be the key.

…………

The scene of the murder was even more serious than expected. Because the incident occurred earlier and was located in the market center, there were too many pedestrians coming and going, and the blood on the ground was blurred, let alone clues.

Ji Nuan came here to feel whether there was a demonic aura. She just checked it and did not find any demonic aura. If the murderer was a human, things might be easier to solve.

"Let's go to Dr. Zhang's place to see the grandma."

Dr. Zhang's medicine shop is next to the market, only a few steps away from the scene of the crime.

There was only one disciple in the medicine shop. When I saw someone coming from the yamen, I immediately came up to me: "Brother, the grandma is in the backyard room, I will take you there now."

Dr. Zhang shook his head and left the wing room. Seeing Ji Nuan and others coming, he immediately said, "The grandma is an elderly widow, and she was seriously frightened. At this time, she was a little confused and was afraid that she would not be able to ask anything."

After Ji Nuan nodded and responded, she walked in directly. Seeing that the grandma was sitting on the bed, staring out the window with a dull expression, she immediately smiled: "Grandma, what are you looking at?"

The grandma pointed to a string of red in the yard and grinned: "Look at how beautiful the flowers are! Just like blood, blood, red blood, so much blood..."

The grandma suddenly lost control of her emotions, her body kept trembling, and then she pulled up the quilt from the bed and crawled in.

"Grandma, where is the blood? What have you seen? Have you seen what the murderer looks like?"

The grandma just hid in the quilt and kept muttering: "Blood, so much blood, so much blood..."

Ji Nuan wanted to continue asking questions, but suddenly a yamen runner came outside the door: "Captain Ji, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. It is Guixiang, a famous prostitute from Wanhualou. We have surrounded Wanhualou and waited for Captain Ji to go and ask."

"Okay, stay here and continue to observe the grandma's situation. Once she remembers something, inform me immediately. Yang Xiu, let's go to Wanhualou."

…………

Wanhualou was surrounded by the people. They knew that there was a murder in the town, and saw Wanhualou surrounded the yamen runners, so they came here to join in the fun.

"Get out of the way, the yamen handle the case, and the idle people will immediately avoid it, otherwise they will all be taken to the jail."

Although Yang Xiu was not good at investigating cases, he was still very good at dealing with several people. As soon as this statement came out, the people watching the fun immediately avoided the distance.

The madam in Wanhua Building was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. How could she do business after this trouble?

Seeing that someone came from the yamen, he immediately greeted him with a charming look and said, "Oh, the official is here, hurry up, please sit down, girls, come and serve you very well."

The girls inside saw that Yang Xiu and the others were all fierce. They pushed me and I pushed you, and no one dared to get close.

Yang Xiu: "Okay, our Captain Ji is here to handle the case. We all honestly replied to me. I didn't find out what it is. You Wanhua Building can't be opened."

When the madam saw that Ji Nuan was a woman, she disdained her from the bottom of her heart and thought about losing some money, she passed: "Captain Ji, I don't feel respectful, so you can quit the people outside the door! Otherwise, my small business will not be able to continue."

Ji Nuan took the purse and bumped back and forth in her hands, showing a wicked smile: "You are bribing me!"

As the "clang" sounded when the wallet fell to the ground, the ingots inside sprinkled all over the floor.

"You are so brave, and you openly bribe, saying, how did Guixiang die?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the madam staggered and fell to her knees: "Captain Ji, I know I was wrong, I never dared to do it again. Guixiang, Guixiang, I don't know!"

Yang Xiu: "Don't deliberately conceal it, otherwise you will be treated as accomplices with the murderer. If the murderer is not found in a day, you are all suspicious. Not to mention doing business, you may be able to pass the prison."

"Official, I really don't know anything! Guixiang has always been outsourced by Mr. Hong, and left with him at midnight last night. We also thought she was spending the night at Mr. Hong's house, but who would have thought she had lost her life!"

The madam cried with tears in her nose and tears. Guixiang was one of the top brands in Wanhualou. She lost a money tree and was not pretending to be sad.

Ji Nuan: "Yang Xiu, go and meet Mr. Hong?"

"Captain Ji, what should they do?"

"There are just some females who are powerless. Even if one of them has a marriage with the dead, it is impossible to unscrew the dead's head with their abilities."

When Ji Nuan came, she had already inquired about it. There was neither evil spirit nor male genius here, and no one was suspected.

"However, since the murderer has set his sights on Guixiang, they may be in danger. Send someone to continue guarding here so that no one can take the opportunity to cause trouble."

After some painstaking arrangements, Yang Xiu took Li Nuan to Hong's house.

Before I entered the door, I heard a sound of porcelain fragments, followed by a woman's scream and scolding: "Okay, Hong Guangliang, I went out to find a wild woman with me on my back last night, right? I felt a scent of coquettish hoofs on my body. Why did you promise me that I asked you to go, I asked you to go!"

When he entered the door, he found that the man named Hong Guangliang was kneeling on the ground with his hands in his arms, and a wide-body fat woman next to him was poking his head hard.

The woman was angry at this time. When Ji Nuan and others arrived, she felt even more angry: "What are you here? The matter between us and our wife does not seem to be in the way of the official!"

Yang Xiu: "You shrew, how unreasonable you are. I now suspect that you are related to a murder case, so I don't cooperate with the investigation quickly."

Who knew that the woman couldn't help but cooperate, but put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly: "What a murder case, what does it have to do with us? Get out of here. We have been stuffing money into the hands of County Magistrate Li a year. Don't bother me here. What you want. I'll send it to you in two days. Get away, don't disturb me.

.”

Yang Xiu was forced to retreat two steps, and when he saw the doubts in Ji Nuan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Anyone who works in this yamen would not occasionally plunder some people's wealth and ointment, and then receive some bribes. Otherwise, there would be only that little Yueyin would support his family.

But he also saw Ji Nuan's attitude towards the madam just now. He knew that she was different from ordinary people and would not be able to see such a trend, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.

Ji Nuan retracted his gaze. There were so many corrupt officials in ancient times. Can you take care of him? The most important thing now is to find the murderer. However, Hong Guangliang is thin and so afraid of his wife. It seems unlikely that he can unscrew the dead man's head in one fell swoop.

Seeing that Ji Nuan was not going to leave yet, the woman cursed again: "Hey, what's wrong with you? A good woman is a constable and an excuse to investigate a murder case. Did she try to seduce my husband again?"

What did this woman think? It seems that there are a few bad money in her family, and everyone looks like a rival in love. After hearing her dirty words, Ji Nuan was also a little angry and said sternly: "Enough, you are so arrogant and unreasonable, no wonder your guild will go to Wanhualou to find other women. Do you know that the woman named Guixiang was dead last night, and I now have reason to suspect that you deliberately murdered her."

At this time, Hong Guangliang, who had not dared to chew on the ground for a long time, began to sob: "Guixiang, how could you..., Alas, I should have taken you away earlier to avoid the cowardly a shrew."

When the woman heard this, she immediately became furious: "You are a traitor, and you actually want to take that woman to run away. I will not ruin you today."

Ji Nuan felt upset for a moment, and had no choice but to use the method of immobilizing her. The woman could not move, but she didn't stop talking for a moment: "Hong Guangliang, I'm fighting with you..."

Yang Xiu immediately dragged the woman away with understanding.

It was not until the woman's voice gradually disappeared into her ears that Ji Nuan began to ask: "Hong Guangliang, tell me! Tell me clearly what happened to you and Guixiang?"

"Catcher, you have also seen that my wife is not like a woman. I was forced by her when I went out to look for her. Guixiang was gentle and virtuous, and I really like her. Last night, Guixiang sent me out of Wanhualou, and I promised that she would come back and elope with her with money. But I never expected that she would be killed. Woo woo..."

All men in the world are the same. They obviously made mistakes, but they always make a mistake. Instead, they push the mistakes to women, making themselves like victims.

Ji Nuan couldn't help but feel sympathy for his wife. She thought that her bad temper was because she married a fickle man!

Hong Guangliang cried for a while, pointed to the direction of the woman leaving and said angrily: "It must be her. Anyone dared to take action when the woman becomes cruel. It must be because she knew Guixiang's existence long ago and deliberately murdered Guixiang."

"What kind of unusual behavior does your wife do on weekdays, or have excellent martial arts skills, or have a high level of cultivation?"

"Hmph, I have known her for more than ten years. If you say something different from ordinary people, she should be able to eat it than others, and she is very strong. Look at her as strong as a cow, she dare not do anything. She just pity my cinnamon, wuwu..."

Ji Nuan stopped asking again when he heard this. Hong Guangliang wanted his wife to be the murderer. As he said, he felt that his wife was not capable of killing people in such a cruel way.

"Okay, Guixiang's entire head is gone. You are familiar with her. Do you know who she has offended someone when she comes in?"

"No, absolutely not. Guixiang is understanding and has never taken any other guests since she got along with me. How could she end up like this? It must have been the shrew who did it. You guys quickly catch her into the yamen, my Guixiang!"
