After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 142: The Female Corpse Found

Li Siqi played with the token in his hand and went towards the county magistrate's mansion. The token was a proof of his identity.

The county magistrate's mansion is not far from the lake and looks solemn and magnificent.

The doorman was dozing off against the wall. When he saw Li Siqi coming, he stood up straight and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Show this to your master, and he will naturally know." Li Siqi was too lazy to argue with a doorman, so he threw the token over and stopped talking.

The doorman could see that Li Siqi was no ordinary person, so he did not dare to delay and hurriedly went to find the county magistrate with the token in hand.

At this time, the county magistrate was handling affairs in the city. When he saw the token, he was shocked. This was the token of an important figure in the capital. He did not dare to delay and hurried to the door.

"Your humble servant Cheng Peng pays respect to Your Highness." The county magistrate bowed to Li Siqi without saying a word, "Your humble servant did not know Your Highness was coming, and I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Siqi waved his hand casually, "Nothing, I came here today because of the lake in the city."

"What's wrong with the lake? I am stupid, Your Majesty, the Sea King, please point it out." Cheng Peng was full of confusion.

"I have received news that a girl who had just come of age was drowned in a lake and has not been seen since. Could it be that County Magistrate Cheng doesn't know about this?" Li Siqi glanced at Cheng Peng, and Cheng Peng immediately felt sweat all over his head.

"This is due to my failure to supervise properly. I didn't even know about this matter. Please punish me, Your Highness." Cheng Peng knelt down in front of Li Siqi.

“Forget it. I didn’t come here today just to question you. It’s just that there are so many men and women by the lake, and the matter of salvaging the corpse may be…” Li Siqi did not say it clearly.

But Cheng Peng suddenly realized, "I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured, I will order people to clear the area and start recovering the bodies right away."

After saying that, Cheng Peng hurriedly went to make arrangements.

He moved very quickly. Not long after Li Siqi met Xu Yingying, a group of soldiers arrived and began to drive away the people from the lake. Before long, there was no one around except the guards.

Cheng Peng stood beside Li Siqi, waiting for Li Siqi's orders at any time, "Your Highness, what do you think..." Cheng Peng asked cautiously.

"What are you waiting for, County Magistrate Cheng? Let's get started?"

After receiving the instructions, Cheng Peng quickly began to arrange people to salvage the body. Chen Xiaoyu, one of the parties involved, stood beside Xu Yingying, anxiously waiting for her body to be found.

Cheng Peng's people moved very quickly. In just one hour, they had already fished up a lot of things, including several highly decomposed corpses. Their faces could not be seen clearly, so it was unknown who they were, but judging by the degree of decay, they had been dead for quite some time.

Chen Xiaoyu looked at the corpses and said, "I have seen those things. After I died, my body was filled with these things. Some were very complete, while others could not even be put together into a human form."

"I don't know how they died, and here, I am the only ghost. No one talks to me, and no one cares about me. I was trapped here at first, and I couldn't go anywhere..."

As she was speaking, Xu Yingying noticed that a highly decomposed body had been salvaged. The face could not be seen at all, and the clothes on the body had already rotted from being soaked in water for a long time.

When Chen Xiaoyu saw her own body, her whole body trembled. Although she had seen it many times, she still couldn't help but feel distressed.

At the same time, the news that a highly decomposed corpse had been fished out quickly spread throughout the entire county. Since the face had already been completely decomposed, it was impossible to tell who it was, which immediately caused panic among the people.

There were even rumors in the town that a serial killer had appeared, and suddenly the atmosphere in the entire town became extremely tense.

Li Siqi and Xu Yingying originally just wanted to survey the situation, but they didn't expect things to develop like this.

After some discussion, the two decided to stay in Feng County, at least to resolve the matter before leaving.

night.

Xu Yingying came to Li Siqi's room and knocked on his door.

"Boom boom boom——"

It happened that Li Siqi was not resting either. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately came out and opened the door for Xu Yingying.

Seeing that it was Xu Yingying, Li Siqi was a little surprised, "What's wrong? Brother Xu, is there something wrong?"

Xu Yingying nodded and said straight to the point, "I saw the ghost of the victim by the pool today. I heard that you are good at painting. I want you to help draw a portrait of the ghost, so that it will be easier for us to find her true identity."

Li Siqi was also very happy after hearing this. After all, the case was solved early, the people could settle down, and the rumors spreading in the city could be refuted. This was good for everyone.

"Okay, come in." Li Siqi nodded without hesitation.

"it is good."

The two turned around and went into the house.

At the desk, Xu Yingying very seriously described to Li Siqi the appearance of Chen Xiaoyu that she had seen before.

"The mouth is like this... the eyes are big... yes, yes, yes... and..."

With the help of Xu Yingying, Li Siqi quickly and successfully completed the portrait of the female ghost.

"Someone come here." Li Siqi shouted at the door.

"I am here, please give me your orders, Your Highness."

A guard soon appeared in front of Li Siqi.

Li Siqi handed the portrait he had drawn to the guard and said, "Go print this portrait and post it on the street for people to claim it. Tell everyone that this is the portrait of the body that was fished out of the river a few days ago."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Siqi's men were extremely efficient. Early the next morning, the streets were covered with portraits of rotting corpses, and everyone in Feng County knew about it.

Of course, Chen Xiaoyu's parents also knew about it.

When Xu Yingying and Li Siqi rushed to the yamen, they only saw two white-haired old men appearing in the county government office and crying bitterly.

"My daughter, why did you leave so early? What should we do when we are left alone?"

"Wuwuwu... Who is the damned one who harmed you? They really deserve to die!"

"Don't worry, your mother and I will definitely avenge you, my poor daughter."

……

Chen Xiaoyu's parents cried so hard that they seemed like they were going to faint at any time.

When the two saw Xu Yingying wearing official uniform, they immediately knelt in front of Xu Yingying and kowtowed to her desperately.

"Sir, please help me find the real murderer who killed my daughter."

"Yes! Sir, we only have this one daughter. I never thought she would die. She was always happy every day. She had nothing to worry about. Someone must have killed her."

"Our lives are so miserable! We are all about to enter the coffin, and we are still sending off the young. Sir, you must give my daughter justice."

……

Facing the white-haired and haggard-looking Mr. and Mrs. Chen, Xu Yingying naturally would not refuse their request.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely give you justice." Xu Yingying said without hesitation.
