In the main hall of the county yard, Zhao An was alone on the chair.

"It failed again. Are my conditions unattracted?"

He sighed softly, this was the seventh time he had been rejected.

But soon he calmed down and called the headmaster of the county government.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

A moment later, a tall man in a green headcatcher walked up.

When Meng Xu saw Zhao An, he bowed and bowed.

Zhao An nodded when he heard this and said without anger, "Do you know the murder case of Xiaoshan Village, Xiameni, Wuling County?"

Meng Xu was shocked and bowed, "I know that I am already ordering people to investigate!"

"Order people to investigate! More than a dozen people died in the small mountain village. You are so lazy and even don't report it!"

When Zhao An heard the other party's careless words, he threw the teacup on the table in anger.

Meng Xu did not dare to dodge, and he was hit hard, but he did not dare to make a sound even if he felt pain.

At this time, he was extremely frightened. It was the first time since the county magistrate took office that he had become so angry.

When he heard the other person's words clearly, his face changed even more. He wanted to explain, and then he held it back.

The county magistrate was already extremely angry at this time, and no matter how much he explained, it would be in vain.

"I am guilty of my trust in my adults, so I will investigate immediately! I will definitely not disappoint my adults!"

Hearing this, Zhao An's anger fell.

"This incident has a great impact. You must find out the reason within five days. Otherwise, I will not be able to protect you when the superiors are held accountable!"

Zhao An's tone was much more relaxed and he put pressure on him.

"I understand!"

Meng Xu's face turned bitter when he heard that the case was solved within five days, but he still gritted his teeth.

When Zhao An saw that the other party agreed immediately, he nodded slightly in his heart, and it was not in vain to promote the other party himself.

He thought of the Phantom of Blue that Pang Yong mentioned before, and after thinking for a moment, he still told the other party.

Naturally, he still doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world, but the other party may be artificially pretending.

It can be regarded as a clue, and may be of some help in solving the case.

"None of the first-class experts is an opponent?"

When Meng Xu heard this, his eyes changed directly. He wanted to ask the county magistrate if he had been unhappy with him for a long time and wanted him to die!

None of the first-class experts are the opponents. I am a little bitch who is less than a second-rate guy to investigate the case. Didn’t I just finish the ball?

But he must not dare to say this, and he could only keep complaining in his heart.

Zhao An also saw that Meng Xu's expression was wrong, and then reacted, regretting that he could not make a strong way.

"Although Pang Yong is a first-class expert, he is a civilian after all. You are the headmaster of the county government and represent the court. No matter how rampant the murderer is, he will not dare to attack you!"

"What's more, you just go to investigate the case. You are not asking you to arrest people. If you can't beat them, can't you run away?"

Although saying this suppressed his own morale, Zhao An had no choice.

He can't just let Meng Xu die.

Then, who will dare to do things for him in the future?

"I understand, I'll say goodbye!"

When Meng Xu heard this, he felt relieved.

Although the case is still dangerous, it should be fine if you are careful.

After Meng Xu left, he immediately summoned his troops.

On the open space in the front yard of the county yard, more than a dozen constables wearing soap clothes stood solemnly.

Meng Xu stood in front, his eyes swept over everyone present with majestic eyes, and then his eyes fell on one of them.

"Luo Shi!"

"I'm here!"

A middle-aged man stepped out of the line and bowed.

"You are responsible for the matter in the small mountain village! More than a dozen people died there. Should you give me an explanation?"

Meng Xu's eyes are not good at Taoism.

"What? Again, it's dead again!"

Luo Shi didn't care, but after hearing this, his face changed suddenly.

He received a report and went to Xiaoshan Village to check it out. He never took care of the body after taking it away.

In this world, one day will not die, let alone a group of paupers who die.

He went through a formality.

After all, those villagers don’t have much money, and they are mostly killed because they are offended by someone they shouldn’t be offended.

As long as the murderer achieves his goal, he will retreat.

In the past, they did this and there was no trouble.

"Is this murderer a ill brain?"

Luo Shiqi cursed in his heart that one or two people died was a completely different case than a dozen people died.

The former can only be said to be an ordinary murder case, while the latter is a serious murder case that shocked a county!

Not to mention him as a little constable, even the county magistrate will be held accountable.

"I...I..."

Luo Shi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, wanting to explain how to relieve himself of his sins, but he didn't know what to say.

"Enough! One waste, take off his clothes, put him in prison, and wait for the county magistrate to deal with it."

Meng Xu waved his hand at Luo Shi who had lost his square inch and lost interest.

The latter faced a group of constables and had no power to resist at all and was quickly taken away.

After Luo Shi was dealt with, Meng Xu immediately rushed to the small mountain village outside the city.

He only has five days, and he must race against time and seize the time.

Because there were not enough horses, Meng Xu and the five of them rode their horses to the small mountain village first, while the others walked to the village on foot.

When they arrived at the small mountain village, the time was approaching Xu.

Half of the golden and red sun sinks into the mountains, and the other half exposed looks like a huge disc.

The sun shines through the sky, the red clouds are connected, the clouds are halo, and the scenery is beautiful.

The small mountain village at dusk is half dyed red by the sunset, and half is shrouded in the shadow of the mountains.

Light and darkness oppose, forming a strange but beautiful picture.

However, the small mountain village was extremely quiet at this time. It was already dusk, but no one in the village was walking around and no sound was made.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a few curling smoke rising, like a dragon winding up, Meng Xu and the others would have thought this was a deserted village.

"This is a small mountain village? Why isn't there any popularity?"

Meng Xu rode a horse to the crooked tree at the entrance of the village. The three words "small mountain village" were written on the standing stone tablet.

He frowned and took his men into the village.

Da da!

The sound of horse hooves spread far in the quiet village. Meng Xu looked up and found that there were white sails hanging at almost every door of the village.

The yellow paper blew with the breeze and flew in the air, and a feeling of desolation suddenly surged.

Everyone walked forward and came outside the most luxurious house in the village.

However, luxury is also compared to the surrounding earthen wall houses.

"This should be the main home in Xiaoshan Village. Come forward and knock on the door to take a look."

Meng Xu called a constable and the other party went up and knocked on the door.

There was a movement in the yard soon, and a young man walked out and opened the yard door.

"I wonder what the hell are you doing?"

The young man has fair skin, wearing blue clothes and a white cloth tied around his head.

"Who are you? Du Haike is at home?"

Meng Xu asked without answering the other party and frowned.
