There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

"However, this cat demon murder case is complicated. If we insist that the murderer must be caught tonight, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"Your Majesty, you——"

"Your Majesty, my precious daughter died unexpectedly, how could I let it go -"

"The Duke and the Marquis, it would be impossible for Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma to completely solve this strange cat demon murder case that killed seven or eight people overnight. Magistrate Liu and Ma County Captain, what do you two think?"

"Your Majesty understands the righteousness well, it is indeed a bit difficult." Magistrate Liu could only bite the bullet and agreed.

"My lord and the marquis, why don't you give them three days to solve the case? If the murderer can't be found again, it's better to punish them. This will also show that the lord and the marquis know how well they understand." Righteousness, clear rewards and punishments." Li Yun spoke sincerely and well-founded.

Yuan Ji and Marquis Jing Ming looked at each other, and they said every word sincerely but they made sense, so they could only agree to it.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Duke! Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis! You will be more exposed tonight. Both the nobles and your lady have noble bodies. I am afraid that they will be contaminated by the cold. Why don't you go back to rest first? I will give you two official gifts in three days." You noble man, please give me an explanation." Magistrate Liu quickly walked down the steps given by Li Yun and respectfully agreed.

Yuan Ji glared at him angrily, waved his sleeves and left.Marquis Jingming's eyes were scarlet, and he had no choice but to help his wife, who was crying, to leave first.

Magistrate Liu finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief and asked Shen Huihe to follow him in: "Zhenzhenzhen, please come with me!"

Shen Huihe nodded slightly and walked towards the new house without squinting.

Li Yun fell behind, comforted the reluctant Guo Ningzhi with a few words, told A Yuan behind him to take good care of the princess, and followed them into the bridegroom and bride's house.

The room was not in a mess. The red candles burning on the dressing table, the dragon and phoenix bracelets in the dressing box, the wedding wine pot on the table were still intact, and even the wine in the two wine glasses was untouched. .

Walking further inside, the red curtain embroidered with mandarin ducks was half suspended and half pulled down. The original delicate and loving gold-plated and silver-patterned mandarin duck embroidery was torn into two, and the scattered red curtains were stained with blood.

There was a burst of blood smell in the air, fresh and strong.

Shen Huihe stretched his nose and frowned slightly.

Lying on the red wedding bed was a slender but cold body.The woman's face was accurately cut off along the edge of her cheek. Her eyes, nose, and red lips were all gone, and her flesh and blood were blurred and unrecognizable.

It is really exactly the same as the three previous cat demon murder cases!
After carefully examining the body, Wu Zuo came to County Magistrate Liu and respectfully reported back: "If I go back to Shangguan, the circumstances of this lady's death are indeed the same as those in the previous three cases."

"Wu Wuzuo, are there any abnormalities found on the body?" Magistrate Liu asked.

"Uh-" Wu Wuzuo hesitated a little, tentatively raised his eyes to look at County Magistrate Liu, and then subconsciously looked at Li Yun.

"It doesn't matter if I ask Wu Wu to do it. I am here, so you don't need to be taboo or afraid." Li Yun also noticed something strange.

Wu Wuzuo swallowed twice and shook his head: "Returning to Shangguan, I have carefully inspected the wound on the corpse and found that there is no abnormality. It was from the same sharp weapon as the wound on the previous corpse."

"No, but, I would like to invite the prince to follow me and come to see——"

Wu Wuzuo led Li Yun to explore the woman's body on the bed, followed closely by Shen Huihe.

"I heard that the Crown Prince marched and fought in the past, and he knows something about wounds caused by sharp weapons. Crown Prince, look at this wound -"

Wu Wuzuo pointed to the edge of the wound on the woman's cheek. Both Li Yun and Shen Huihe were stunned. "Tonight, the wounds caused by the sharp instrument that peeled off the skin and removed the face don't seem to be as sharp and severe as before. There are wrinkles on the edges. The villain thinks that the person who did it must be a little hesitant."

"Yeah." Li Yun thought for a moment, "That's true."

He turned towards Shen Huihe and cast a questioning look at the young lady who had been standing silently on one side: "What do you think, Master?"

Shen Huihe responded coldly: "Hui Shizi said that is indeed the case."

Magistrate Liu was a little confused, and he was surprised in his heart how the prince could condescend to consult this young lady who claimed to be a real person.After Wu Wuzuo finished examining the body, he ordered several government officials to carry the woman's body down.

"Be careful, be careful, don't let the daughter of Jingminghou Mansion get hurt again."

Shen Huihe took a deep breath, lifted up his clothes and was about to lean into the bed, but was stopped by Li Yun.

"Your Majesty, this is——"

"The real person is still suspected. It would be better for me and County Magistrate Liu to check first."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yun had already jumped onto the bed.Magistrate Liu did not dare to neglect and climbed onto the bed without stopping.

Magistrate Liu carefully rummaged through the brocade quilt, and suddenly he shouted in horror: "Your Majesty, this, this is -"

What he found under the messy quilt was two or three small clumps of white cat hair.

Shen Huihe poked his head forward and saw clearly a bunch of white cat hair in his palm.

"Cat, cat demon kills people?!" Wu Wuzuo suppressed his fear and shouted in a low voice, "Cat demon really kills people?!"

"If this cat can leave a handful or two of white cat hair that is neither long nor short every time with such accuracy, this cat will really be able to communicate with spirits!" Shen Huihe couldn't help complaining, "This cat will be able to communicate with others. How can a spiritual cat kill so cruelly?"

"Actually, I, too, have some thoughts. I hope the prince will listen to what I have to say." Magistrate Liu pursed his lips to calm down and asked tentatively.

"Mr. Liu, please speak."

"Actually, in fact, the official and Lieutenant Ma also noticed the weirdness of these cases. It stands to reason that if the cat demon really killed the person, the cat demon would be able to peel off the woman's face and facial features so accurately every time, but this The scars on the face are somewhat like marks cut by some kind of blade. And every time the cat demon will leave a few clumps of white cat hair of similar size on the wedding couch. It just looks like it is man-made and also like It’s all up to the devil. That’s why the subordinates have been undecided.”

Shen Huihe nodded in agreement. It seemed that Magistrate Liu was not completely ignorant and mediocre.

"My prince heard that County Magistrate Liu had been living in Pingjiang City for a long time, and that he was full of food, warm, and lustful. He had no intention of serving the people or handling cases. Now it seems that these are all rumors."

Li Yun looked at him with a faint and solemn gaze, as if he was examining the truth and lies in what he just said.

Although Magistrate Liu saw the prince in front of him smiling calmly and calmly, for some reason a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Although this prince of Jingbei has been silent for many years and has no reputation, it is rumored that he is still a person who is loved and protected by the current Holy Emperor.
