"Dong dong dong dong dong"

The sudden sound of drums shocked everyone in the dungeon.

Someone playing drums? Is there someone beating drums in the middle of the night to complain?

This was really a wave of upheaval. Lin Xiu could only ask the prison officials to take care of Jia Yuntong, while he, the county lieutenant and others hurried to the direction of the court.

The station guard, who had already gotten up when the incident happened in the dungeon, trotted over with a water and fire stick in his hand. He arrived at the court first and got ready to shout "mighty".

The county magistrate, the county captain, Yang Pingzhong and other people who were already in the dungeon arrived later.

But before Lin Xiu and others entered the court, a gatekeeper rushed over and stopped them.

"Sir, don't go to the hall yet. We haven't found the drummer yet!"

"What? Is it an attack in the east and in the west?"

At this moment, the faces of the county lieutenant and Yang Captou on the side also changed drastically.

"No, go to the dungeon quickly——"

The two of them reacted almost instantly, rushing back from whatever direction they came from. Yang Pingzhong sprinted a hundred meters, and the county lieutenant stretched out his foot to take the long bow and quiver from the hand of a government servant next to him. Kicked away, caught in the air and jumped to the eaves.

This reaction stunned the Yamen servant who just spoke, and he didn't even realize that it was caused by his own words.

Lin Xiu was also a little impatient on the side, but he knew that he couldn't catch up, and even if he went, he would only be a burden, and he suddenly felt upset.

"The drumming shouldn't have stopped when you arrived, so you didn't see anything?"

"Well, sir, the sound of the drums stopped the moment we opened the door. When we went out, we only saw drumsticks rolling on the ground. There were no other people around. At that time, we were a little scared and thought there was another ghost. Already."

"That's right, sir. Although we didn't find the drummer, there are a few people outside. Sir, please follow us out and have a look!"

"ah?"

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little confused by these two government officials. What does it mean that he didn't see the drummer but how many people were there outside? But he didn't care about that and just followed the two of them towards the door. The two teams of yamen standing in the court holding water and fire sticks followed closely beside him.

"Sir, these are the people!"

Seeing the situation outside at the drum stand, Lin Xiu finally understood. It turned out that there were three unconscious people back to back beside the drum stand. They were trapped with hemp ropes several times, and there was another sleeping person sitting next to the drum stand. The child was covered with a layer of clothes.

Obviously these four people cannot be the drummers, so the drummers most likely want to attract people to find these four people. Maybe they are not necessarily attacking the dungeon?

Lin Xiu thought about this and then looked at the two gatekeepers.

"Why didn't you say this just now?"

The yamen servant suddenly felt nervous and answered carefully.

"Well, this, I was just about to say it, but in the middle of my words, the county captain and Captain Yang rushed out."

Lin Xiu shook his head slightly.

"It's good for them to go and have a look. They're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. By the way, have you checked on these people?"

"I don't dare to investigate without permission. I'm waiting for the adults to make a decision."

Lin Xiu nodded and said to the people around him.

"Check it out and see if you can find anything."

"yes!"

The two remaining detectives around Lin Xiu immediately walked over to the three of them and started checking.

Because it was the county government official's drum that sounded, there would be county government officials who came after hearing the drum sound. It was a bit strange to see a large number of people gathered around the gate instead of going to the hall.

It happened that the old coach also came over. After asking a few questions to the nearby government officials, he hurriedly walked nearby.

As soon as Lin Xiu saw the old coach coming, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Instructor Lu came just in time. Jia Yuntong is suspected of being possessed tonight. Someone is beating drums in the middle of the night to lure us to check on these people. Quickly see if there is anything strange about these people?"

"As you command!"

As soon as the old coach arrived, the two detectives also stepped aside. The three of them looked at each other after checking together, and they could all detect the surprise on each other's faces.

It was the old coach who spoke in a voice that could be heard by everyone around him.

"These three people have strong muscles and strong muscles. They are not ordinary people. They should be people with martial arts skills, and their skills are not bad. However, they were all seriously injured. They should have been restrained by other masters!"

After considering his words for a moment, the old coach looked at Lin Xiu and continued.

"Sir, the power of the person who made the move is really beyond my imagination. His internal power directly broke through the meridians of the three people, so that bruises appeared on several of the three people's major points. This is a sign that the internal power was destroyed by external internal forces, and each of these three people He only suffered a momentary blow."

As he spoke, the old instructor pulled away the clothes on one of the men's chests to expose his chest. Several acupuncture points on the chest along the line of the Ren meridian showed bruised red spots.

Although Lin Xiu couldn't understand it, he knew it was something special from the sound. The old coach subconsciously looked at the surrounding streets, as if there was a peerless master hidden in the darkness.

"Sir, here is a piece of paper with writing on it!"

A police officer suddenly found a piece of paper on the backs of the three people who were supporting each other. He immediately carefully pulled it out and stood up to hand it to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu took the note and scanned it from side to side, and suddenly understood something. He frequently looked at the three people tied up on the ground and the child on the other side, but he was still not sure about the authenticity of the content in the letter.

"If what is said in the letter is true, then these three people were surrendered by Jianghu righteous men, and they have been paying attention to this case for a long time. They know that these people are related to Jia Yuntong's case, and they also say that the location where the evil sorcerer performed evil magic is outside the city. , this child may be Jia Yuntong’s son!”

With that said, Lin Xiu handed the letter to the old instructor who had already stood up. The latter frowned after reading it. He didn't understand the matter of handling the case.

"What do you think, sir?"

"Let's go take a look outside the city first. Chief Yang, quickly take people to the riverside outside the southwest of the city to find the place where the demon sorcerer performs evil magic, uh"

Lin Xiu said that only then did he realize that Yang Pingzhong and others had gone to the dungeon, so he said to others.

"Go to the dungeon to see if everything is okay. If everything is okay, let Mr. Yang come over first."

Just as he was talking like this, Yang Pingzhong came over there with several police officers and two Yuezhou police officers. People who were nearby started to report loudly.

"Sir, there is nothing going on over there in the dungeon. The county captain was worried that something might happen here, so he asked me to come here first!"

"Come on, come on, Capt. Yang is here just in time!"

Lin Xiu quickly asked Yang Pingzhong to come over, explained to him the situation at the gate, and then handed him the letter. Yang Pingzhong frowned as he listened and looked at the situation of the three people at the door.

"Captain Yang, please quickly take people to the riverside outside the southwest of the city to find the place where the demon sorcerer performs evil spells. Be careful!"

"yes!"

After Yang Pingzhong took the letter, he glanced at the three people on the ground a few more times, and then took several police officers and government officials from Yuanjiang County, plus officials from the state for two months, to search outside the city.

At this moment, next to the drum stand, the child who was sitting on the ground sleeping against the drum stand had been wrapped in clothes and picked up by the old instructor, and was handed over to a short-bearded yamen beside him.

"This child may be Jia Yuntong's son. Let's take him down and take care of him first."

"Why!"

After the yamen servant left with the child in his arms, the door suddenly became deserted, but there were still people from the county yamen who heard the drums but didn't know the situation, including the master, whose clothes were still a little disheveled.

Lin Xiu stood at the door of the Yamen and let out a long sigh of relief. Although the situation was still unclear, it did seem to be beneficial to their side.

There is a lot of help in the right way, but little help in the wrong way. I hope someone can help!

——

On the other side, the officers who received the order searched all the way outside the city, specifically looking for darker places. Finally, someone found the broken altar behind a bush and hurriedly called others over.

"Yang Captou, here -"

Yang Pingzhong arrived immediately with several officials. After looking over the bushes, he first saw the exploded altar, followed by the small flags and dead bodies on the ground.

The objects on the altar and the mage in black who had been dead for a while all told what was going on here at night not long ago.

Halfway through the inspection, someone shouted again not far away.

"Captain, there is another body here!"

Someone discovered the corpse of the Jianghu man, and Yang Pingzhong walked over again. He saw that the man's chest was sunken and bleeding from all the orifices. It was obvious that he had been killed by a powerful palm move.

"What a strong palm power!"

The man who died had thick calluses on his tiger's mouth, and with the weapons that fell beside him, he should be a good swordsman, so the person who took action was even more advanced in martial arts. Thinking about the situation at the county government office gate, that person What a master the Jianghu righteous man is has filled everyone's minds with imagination.

Afterwards, everyone carefully checked the surroundings. Based on the situation of the three people outside the county government office and the corpses here, it was basically confirmed that a one-sided fight had taken place here before, but the black-clothed mage had no obvious injuries on his body.

After discussing with the people from Yuezhou Yamen for a while, Mr. Yang came to a conclusion that was closest to the truth.

"At the moment when Jia Yuntong was possessed by the evil spirit, the demon must have been casting a spell here, but he happened to be bumped into by a Jianghu righteous man. Or maybe he had been paying attention to these people for a long time and chose this moment to take action."

"The battle between the two sides was about to break out, which also messed up the demon's evil method, causing him to bite back and die, and the rest of the people were also subdued by the righteous warriors! In this way, it makes sense that Jia Yuntong suddenly recovered in prison, because The person who cast the evil spell died suddenly on the way."

But who is this righteous warrior? Is he really just acting out of righteousness? Is it really just one person or is there a group of people? This case is getting more and more complicated!

Yang Pingzhong is not the only one who has this idea, but tonight is a blessing for the Yuanjiang County Government.

Everyone first tidied up the scene, marked it, and then packed up some items, and then took them all back to the county government office together with the body and evidence.

Again, this night was destined to be a busy night for the Yuanjiang County Government Office. They had to sort out evidence, treat newly arrived prisoners, interrogate those who woke up later, and even more comfort and take care of the child.

Even Yi Shuyuan was called to help later.
