Chapter 1397 Death from Poisoning

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhou Captou appears in the attic.

He looks to be in his fifties, but is actually over three hundred and seventy years old.

When he appeared, everyone's eyes lit up in the attic.

Zhou Captou was originally a small figure, but later he became a huge name by relying on his detective skills in solving crimes.

He didn't disappoint either.

It didn't take long for people to see what he was capable of.

"Captain Zhou, do you want to go and see the assassination scene?"

Qi Jinchuan Road.

Zhou Captou smiled and shook his head: "No need."

"Why?"

Qi Jinchuan was stunned.

Others looked at Zhou Captou in confusion.

Zhou Captou said: "I believe that the Sheriff must have investigated the assassination scene long ago, and he will only call me here if there is nothing to gain.

It can be seen that the assassin is very cautious. This kind of person will not leave any evidence at the assassination scene, so there is no need to check. "

These words may sound simple, but they instantly make people feel how sophisticated and confident Zhou is.

"Lord Sheriff, please give me some time. I want to check the entire Sheriff's Mansion."

Zhou Captou said again.

"good."

Qi Jinchuan Road.

Next, Zhou Captou wandered around the county governor's mansion.

The place where he hangs around the most is near the wall of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Capt. Zhou sat down beside a wall and didn't move for a long time.

Someone from the county magistrate's office followed and noticed this strange situation and hurriedly reported it to Qi Jinchuan.

After a while, Qi Jinchuan came with Meng Chang and others.

"Captain Zhou, what are you doing?"

Qi Jinchuan said puzzledly.

"I wonder, Lord Sheriff, do you have any guesses about the identity of this assassin?"

Zhou Captou did not answer the question.

Qi Jinchuan thought: "The county governor's mansion is protected by a large formation, but this thief can come and go freely in the county governor's mansion. I think this assassin is probably an insider."

"Agree."

"Only a traitor would be extremely familiar with the Sheriff's Mansion, allowing him to come and go as he pleases, making it impossible for us to catch him."

Others present also echoed.

But Capt. Zhou smiled: "I'm afraid your thoughts are exactly what the assassin said he wanted to see, or in other words, this is what he deliberately guided."

Qi Jinchuan was shocked: "Zhou Captou, what do you mean?"

"Everything that happens, no matter how carefully you handle it afterwards, will leave traces."

Zhou Captou said: "I was sitting here before, just sensing the formation here."

"Array?"

Qi Jinchuan and everyone present were puzzled.

"Everything remains true to its origin. In fact, it is not that complicated to determine the assassin's whereabouts."

Zhou Captou said: "No matter what he does, he will eventually leave the Sheriff's Mansion, and if he wants to leave the Sheriff's Mansion, there are only two ways.

One is to go out from the door, and the other is to break out of the formation.

If it's a thief, he's most likely to get out through the door, but this can be easily ruled out. I had asked the guard at the door before and no one was out at that time.

Therefore, there is only the second possibility. The assassin broke out of the Sheriff's Mansion formation. "

"How can this be."

Qi Jinchuan said: "This formation is a ninth-grade Youying formation. Even a strong Zhuzhao cannot break it silently."

"What if the assassin has a certain understanding of the formation and is also an alchemy master?"

Zhou Captou smiled.

"this……"

Qi Jinchuan was speechless for a while.

"But this is also not something I consider."

Zhou Captou said: "This does seem very impossible, but this is the only possibility.

When I was here just now, I was sensing the formation in this area, and I am naturally very sensitive to energy fluctuations, so I can be sure that

This formation does have residual traces of fluctuations. Although the fluctuations are extremely weak, they are there.

Now, let us leave this area and continue to follow the clues, and we will eventually find the whereabouts of the assassin. "

"good."

Qi Jinchuan ordered people to activate the formation, and then led Zhou Baotou, Meng Chang and others out of the wall.

Climbing over the wall, they emerged into a small alley.

Zhou Captou was in this alley and began to investigate carefully again.

"Yes."

Five or six minutes later, Captain Zhou laughed.

"What did Captain Zhou find?"

Mengchang said impatiently.

"The assassin must have thought that our attention was diverted by him and focused on investigating the thieves in the county governor's mansion."

Zhou Captou said: "So, after leaving the county governor's house, he will inevitably lose some caution.

Of course, it is also possible that the pursuers of the Sheriff's Mansion were patrolling around the area at the time, allowing the assassin to flee in a hurry, thus leaving a loophole. Come and take a look. "

He pointed to the floor.

Others came over and took a look, and immediately discovered that there was a hair in the crack of the floor.

This hair is unremarkable at all.

If Captain Zhou hadn't pointed it out, people would definitely not have discovered it.

Even if people see it, they won't suspect anything, they will just think it was dropped by a passerby.

Only Zhou Captou, who is as careful as a hair, would notice a tiny hair on the ground.

"If nothing else, this hair fell from the assassin."

Zhou Captou smiled and said: "With this hair, I have locked the assassin. Then I only need to let the spirit dog with a keen sense of smell track based on this hair, and I can easily find the assassin."

"good."

Meng Chang looked excited, "As expected of Capt. Zhou, as long as the assassin can be found in the end, Meng will definitely repay Capt. Zhou generously."

Zhou Captou also had some pride on his face.

This assassin left the county guard, Meng Chang and other important figures helpless, but he easily solved the case, which will undoubtedly further enhance his reputation.

Then, Zhou Captou took out two fingers and picked up the hair.

During this process, he remained cautious and used Ling Gang to isolate his fingers to avoid confusing the breath of the hair.

But when Zhou Captou picked up the hair, a sudden change occurred.

The hair actually burned on its own.

After burning, the hair turned into an inconspicuous wisp of fire, easily penetrating Zhou Tou's spiritual gang and sinking into Zhou Tou's fingers.

"ah!"

The next moment, Captain Zhou screamed.

"Captain Zhou."

Everyone around was shocked.

"This hair is poisonous...poof!"

Zhou Captou was extremely shocked and angry.

Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and vomited blood.

"What?"

Everyone else around was shocked.

This hair is actually poisonous?

The situation in front of them made everyone feel numb.

They are not ignorant people.

It can't be a coincidence that the hair is poisonous.

The only possibility is that the assassin had anticipated this situation and had poisoned his hair in advance, waiting for someone to pick it up.

If someone really discovers the clues here and touches this hair, they will fall into the assassin's trap.

Thinking about it again, Zhou Captou looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands earlier.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Captou fell into someone else's trap.

The clues that Capt. Zhou discovered were those left intentionally by the assassin.
