Competing with the Murderer with the Super High IQ!

Realizing that the case was fishy, Yang Yi's fighting spirit surged and he decided to fight with the other party.

"I'll get someone to investigate this matter. You can just stay at home.”

After going through Zhao Gang's case, Yang Yi already had an idea in his heart. He comforted the woman kindly.

The woman was very grateful.

After thanking him profusely, the worry in his heart dissipated a lot.

With the county magistrate looking for her, it was much more useful than a weak woman like her. She could just wait at home for news.

"Tomorrow morning, we will send someone to pick you up. Can you lend me these paintings for the time being?”

Before leaving, Yang Yi preached to the woman.

The woman naturally happily handed them all to Yang Yi, indicating that it would be fine if he did not return them. However, she was a little puzzled that Yang Yi had sent someone to pick her up.

After clearing up the matter and handing it over, Yang Yi brought Wu Song back.

He did not return to the county office immediately. Instead, he went to another place, the burial ground of the deceased Zhao Gang.

When he arrived at the graveyard and saw the new grave, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"This is Zhao Gang's grave. What do you think about it?”

Looking at the grave and the weeds that had already appeared on it, Yang Yi decided to test Wu Song.

Wu Song did not expect Yang Yi to ask such a question and hurriedly looked at the grave carefully.

"How strange. We have a saying that after a person dies, there will be seven of them. They would come to pay their respects every seven days. However, as the future master of the Zhao family, Zhao Gang was so cold after his death that no one paid their respects!”

After hearing Yang Yi's question, Wu Song observed for a while and quickly told him his thoughts.

Clearly, he had already realized that something was wrong. The dead Zhao Gang was definitely a fake.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the Zhao family hold a memorial ceremony? Not even the first seven?

"Yes! Your observation is very detailed. This case was very complicated. Zhao Gang was definitely not dead. He had used some unknown method to hide. However, what was his motive?”

Seeing Wu Song's meticulous observation, Yang Yi nodded and praised.

Then, he told the key points of the case.

What was Zhao Gang's motive for doing this?

Also, he had long discovered that Zhao Xiangyan was making a false report, but why did she do so?

"Sir, why don't we open the coffin and examine the corpse overnight?”

After thinking for a while, Wu Song suggested to Yang Yi.

However, Yang Yi did not agree. Instead, he decided to open the coffin and examine the corpse tomorrow.

After making the decision, the two of them returned to the county office and said nothing to anyone.

Early the next morning, Yang Yi brought along Liu Fu, Xing Tong, the coroner, and the others to Zhao Gang's grave, preparing to open the coffin and perform an autopsy.

"Milord, are you still suspicious of Zhao Gang's death?”

Xing Tong asked curiously when he saw them arrive in front of a grave.

He didn't know why they had gathered so many people here and why they were looking at the grave without saying a word.

"You'll know later!"

Yang Yi didn't say much and just looked into the distance.

When he saw a man and a woman walking over, his heart calmed down.

"Sir, why did you bring this woman here?”

When the woman saw that the officers did not bring her back to the county office but instead came to a lonely grave, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You'll know later! Dig the grave and perform an autopsy!"

Yang Yi didn't say much and immediately ordered the bailiffs to start digging the grave.

A moment later, he dug out the coffin and opened the lid.

In an instant, an unpleasant smell assaulted them, making many people very uncomfortable.

After the smell passed, Yang Yi brought the woman and the others forward.

"Look, is the deceased your man?”

Yang Yi didn't waste time and immediately signaled to the woman.

When the woman saw the corpse, her face turned pale. It was as if he had lost his soul and was on the verge of collapsing.

"Husband! You…Why did you die here? Which damn bad guy harmed you!”

After Yang Yi sent someone to support the woman, she immediately let out a heart-wrenching cry.

His soulless appearance caused many bailiffs to feel pity for him, and they couldn't bear to look at him.

At this moment, Yang Yi didn't ask any more questions. He waited for the woman's cries to subside before he slowly opened his mouth.

"The deceased's face can't be seen clearly. How can you be sure that he's your husband?”

Yang Yi asked without hesitation.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the woman, wondering how she would answer.

"My lord! My husband's clothes were sewn by me, even though I can't see his face clearly. But the clothes he's wearing are the ones I made myself. God, are you blind…"

Hearing Yang Yi's question, the woman replied while crying. She looked very miserable.

"Take her back to the county government and take good care of her! Let's go to the Zhao Manor first!"

Seeing that the woman was very sad, Yang Yi immediately gave instructions.

He knew that he couldn't persuade the woman at this moment, so he found Zhao Xiangyan first and asked her what was going on.

A moment later, everyone buried the bodies again, and the people from the county government split up into two groups.

They were not far from the Zhao Manor, and Yang Yi and the others soon arrived.

"Bang bang bang! Open the door."

It was different from before. When Yang Yi and the others arrived again, they found that Zhao Xiangyan's door was tightly shut and there was no movement.

With doubts, Yang Yi immediately got someone to push the door open.

The door creaked and was pushed open gently.

A group of bailiffs filed in and began to search for Zhao Xiangyan. A moment later, the smell of blood entered everyone's nostrils.

"Sir, there is a corpse here.”

Unexpectedly, when they arrived.

He discovered that Zhao Xiangyan's chest was stabbed with a dagger. She was already dead beyond saving.。

The time of death was this morning.

"Not good! Leave some people behind to continue investigating. We'll go to the Zhao's cloth shop.”

When he found out that Zhao Xiangyan had been killed, Yang Yi immediately thought of Zhao Gang's wife, Chang Shuyi.

If the villain dared to kill Zhao Xiangyan, he would dare to kill Chang Shuyi.

Hence, Yang Yi immediately rushed back to Yanggu County with his men, hoping to save Chang Shuyi.

However, after arriving at the cloth shop, Yang Yi realized that he was a step too late.

Zhao Gang's wife, Chang Shuyi, had also been killed with a single blow. There was a dagger in her chest.

Yang Yi's expression turned cold when he saw this.

He realized that not only did he have to face a murderer with a high IQ. He also had to find out who leaked the news. There was actually an accomplice of the murderer beside him.

After investigating, Yang Yi realized that the case was not simple.

It wasn't just a fight between merchants, it also involved the people in Yanggu County.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi's expression suddenly became determined.

"Sir, the clues are broken again. What should we do now? Did Zhao Gang disappear into thin air?”

Sensing the sudden change in Yang Yi's expression, Wu Song said with a worried expression.

They thought that the clues to the case had been cut off again, and Zhao Gang had gone missing!

"Calm down! Zhao Gang has always been there, but you didn't notice him. If my guess is correct, that Wang Sheng who narrowly escaped death is the Zhao Gang we are looking for!”

Seeing Wu Song's low spirits, Yang Yi looked at a painting in Chang Shuyi's room and said with a cold smile.

When these words were said, Wu Song was greatly shocked and in disbelief.

He did not expect the murderer to be so cunning and meticulous. He even dared to hang around in front of them.

Such a smart murderer made Wu Song feel incredulous.
