Xiao Changli turned his head, a gust of cold wind hit his face, the little beggar was half hidden behind the door, a dark red was hanging above his head, and seemed to be behind him. Cinnabar is so red that it scares people.

This red is somewhat familiar.

A chuckle sounded, fluttering with the night wind, but the little beggar was not afraid anymore, turned around and punched and kicked, cursing: "You scared me again! Sooner or later, you will scare me to death!"

"Worthless, I haven't made any progress after so long." The laughter faded away, and the red shadow suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Changli, but before he could get close, he was knocked out by a helpless force. Stop in mid-air.

Feng Guanxia wears her wedding dress with red makeup, her pale face is painted with thick rouge, her blood red lips and her dark eyes are the female ghost that Xiao Changli met in the forest.

"Meet you again." The female ghost looked at Xiao Changli affectionately, "I said I would come to you."

Xiao Changli said expressionlessly, "You should go where you should go."

The female ghost said quietly: "If you don't want to go with me, then I won't go either. Who made me fall in love with you?" She took a deep breath, looking very drunk, "It's so masculine, Although it will be painful to approach you, I will wait for you. When you die, we will go to the underworld to be a ghost couple."

The little beggar clicked his tongue: "This person is just a piece of wood, what's so good about it?"

The female ghost stared at him: "It's not big or small, call brother-in-law quickly."

The little beggar curled his lips: "You want a man to choose someone who is rich and powerful. You and your parents just left, leaving me alone to be bullied all day long. He is just a small official, how can he support me? "

The female ghost's eyes fluttered: "The boy has eyes but no pearls. He has a noble aura. He looks like a dragon among men. Don't look at him as a seventh-rank county magistrate now. His future wealth will be immeasurable."

"Really?" The little beggar's eyes lit up, he leaned over to look at Xiao Changli, and sweetly called brother-in-law, "My name is Susu, and this is my older sister, named Su Daixue. She was forced into a marriage by bullies before she was alive, and committed suicide The dead one can be regarded as a chaste and strong woman. Don't look at her as a ghost, she is not bad, you won't suffer if you marry her..."

Xiao Changli looked at Su Daixue: "The county government murdered you, but you?"

Su Taixue said: "Then you overestimate me, I can't even get close to you, how can I kill people? You people often say that ghosts harm people, but in fact, ghosts are full of grievances because they don't die well. Aren't they all killed by others? To really have the ability to kill, one must either have deep morality, or have a lot of resentment. It just so happens that I don't have any. But..."

"But what?"

Su Daixue smiled, and suddenly her figure flickered, turning into a ray of red light and entering Susu's body.Susu shook her body, her eyes straightened immediately, then she smiled charmingly and rushed towards Xiao Changli.

Xiao Changli raised his hand against his head, but he couldn't get close, twisting the corner of his clothes resentfully, his voice was full of a daughter's voice: "If you really want to kill someone, you can only possess someone else's body and control his consciousness and body..."

Su Su's body trembled violently, and Su Daixue came out again, with disgust on her face: "You brat, you're covered in dog blood, you're so dirty."

Susu shook her head, regained control of her body, and glared at her sister: "You fucked me again, and my life will be shortened!"

Su Daixue ignored him, and winked at Xiao Changli: "Although there are ghosts here, they are all new ghosts. They dare not harm you when I am here."

Xiao Changli looked at the shadows huddled in the darkness, and said, "Are you the ones who were killed?"

The shadows scrambled up and down, whining around him.

Xiao Changli said: "Who harmed you?"

The black shadow ran even more frantically, but could not answer.

Su Taixue said: "They are newly dead ghosts, only wandering souls are left, and they can't speak, let me ask for you."

Susu proudly leaned over: "Look, if it weren't for my sister, you wouldn't be so easy to know the murderer."

Seeing that Su Daixue turned into a ray of red shadows, wandered among those shadows for a while, returned to Xiao Changli's side, and said courteously: "They said that the murderer was a man named Wang Zhi."

Xiao Changli frowned, went back to the house and lit the oil lamp to open the file, frowning even tighter.

Su Dai's snow-white face appeared beside the table, looking at the file with great interest: "Who is this Wang Zhi? It's powerful enough to kill eight people in a row."

"It's a dead man." Xiao Changli stared at the case file on the table, and Wang Zhi was at the top of the list of strange deaths in Huaishan Village.

Early the next morning, many people surrounded the gate of the county government for the first time.They stared at the gate of the county government office a few feet away, wanting to see if this ignorant official from the capital could survive the night alone in the county government office.

Under these countless gazes, Xiao Changli calmly opened the door and walked out.Susu followed him proudly, enjoying countless gazes.

Now he is not a beggar, but the county magistrate's brother-in-law, who dares to look down on him in the future!

Seeing that the county magistrate was safe and sound, and the people were whispering to each other, they all marveled at the magic, and many girls were convinced by his seventh-rank official uniform, and sighed that he was not the star king from the sky who came down to save them from the devil.

Suddenly, Xiao Changli's tall and stalwart image was established among the common people.

With popular popularity, everything will go much smoother.

Xiao Changli gave a grand speech in the Jiaohua workshop of the county government with the main purpose of not doing bad things and not being afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and the people were convinced.It took another three days to retry the injustice case that the former county magistrate muddle-headedly judged in a vigorous manner, rescued the wronged people in the county government prison, and punished the villains who were at large. Hui.

It didn't take long before someone came to the county government to report the case, saying that his neighbor Mao's family had a stench, and his wife had been missing for many days, so she must have died in the house.

This was Xiao Changli's first case here, and he immediately took the yamen to Mao's residence.

Mao Da is a middle-aged man in his forties. He earns his living by playing sports. He usually stays out at night and rarely socializes with others. His only hobby is drinking.Seeing the county magistrate and the official messenger came to the house, he was terrified, saying that his wife had returned to her mother's house and did not commit any crime.

As soon as everyone entered Mao's house, they really smelled a stench. Xiao Changli was no stranger to this stench.Ordering the Yacha to detain Mao Da, a group of people followed the smell to the backyard, and fished out a decomposed corpse from a half-person-high water tank under the wall.

The water in the tank was turbid and foul-smelling. I don’t know if it was like this before the corpse entered the water or after it rotted. Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, it was estimated that the person had been dead for at least half a month, but it was not discovered until now.

However, the location of this water tank is next to the latrine, and the latrine is a place that will not make people feel strange no matter how smelly it is.

Xiao Changli has seen countless cases, and there are endless methods of killing and throwing corpses, but throwing corpses into a water tank is undoubtedly very stupid.

When Mao Da was escorted back to the county government office, he was still in shock and shouted that he had been wronged.

According to what Mao Da said half a month ago, after he had a quarrel with his wife, his wife said she wanted to go back to her mother's house.

According to neighbors, Mao Da would beat his wife when he was drunk. It is likely that he beat people to death too hard when he was drunk, and threw the body into the water tank.

Mao Da only remembered that at that time he took his family silver to buy wine to drink, and after his wife said a few more words, he moved his hands, and then left home to buy wine, and came back after getting drunk. He didn't remember what happened after returning home.

Whether that poor woman was beaten to death by himself, even he couldn't tell.

It seemed that this was an extremely simple case. If the former county magistrate would have closed the case immediately, he would have sent the drunkard to death row.

But when it came to Xiao Changli's place, it was still unresolved.

When the people began to suspect that the new county magistrate was just good-looking but would not solve the case at all, the Yachai arrested a person and announced that this was the real murderer.

This person is the person who reported the case, named Li Quan.

According to Li Quan's account, he saw Mao's wife crying after Mao went out that day, and another person was at home. He became malicious and sneaked into the house to do something wrong. Mao's wife resisted desperately and fled to the backyard in a panic. Li Quan was strangled to death and thrown into the water tank.

He lives next door to Mao University and knows him very well. Sure enough, Mao University is still acting as if nothing happened after his wife hadn't seen him for half a month.

Originally, they could live in peace if it went on like this, but this Li Quan pretended to be clever and deliberately reported the crime, trying to make a fool of himself and take the place of the dead ghost, but he hit the gun and became the first fire of Xiao Changli's new official.

Susu pestered Xiao Changli and asked him how he knew the murderer was Li Quan, and Xiao Changli said two words: smell.

The corpse was in the water tank for half a month, but no one found it and no one was suspicious, because he was located next to the latrine, and most people would think that the stench came from the latrine, unless people who are particularly sensitive to corpse odor, it would be difficult to find something strange.As soon as Li Quan came to report the case, he said that someone was dead, which meant that he already knew that there was a dead person, so he didn't call himself.

Susu suddenly said: "So that's the case."

Xiao Changli said: "If you killed someone, where would you leave the body in the latrine and water tank?"

Susu didn't even think about it: "Of course it's the toilet."

Xiao Changli nodded: "But Li Quan threw people into the water tank."

"Why?" Susu was puzzled, "Does he like water tanks?"

Xiao Changli said: "It is recorded in the Xuanwen Records that the belly of the water tank is big and round, and the mouth is cohesive. After death, the corpse is thrown into the water tank. The corpse rots and the soul is imprisoned. It cannot be escaped forever."

Su Su shivered: "Really?"

Xiao Changli said, "I don't know."
