(The part about Shen Bin in the previous chapter has been modified. If you have read the boss before, you can refresh it and read it again.)
Seeing Shen Bin's body being thrown into the firewood pile, and a fire being lit at the scene to burn the body and extinguish the soul, Qin Shaoyou planned to ask Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youyou to leave and continue to search for traces of Black Lotus followers in the city.
He never expected that just when he was about to leave, he would hear such a strange sound.
This voice was not only subtle and low, but also very cold and harsh, which made people feel uncomfortable and caused goosebumps all over their bodies.
The desire for blood in the words made Qin Shaoyou even more alert.
He was not in a hurry to get off the roof, and turned his head to look in the direction where the strange sound came from.
It’s just that this weird sound was too soft, and there were so many people in Caishikou. Even with [Listening], Qin Shaoyou could only judge that this sound probably came from near the execution platform.
But Qin Shaoyou doesn't know exactly who said this and who is thirsting for blood.
Are they those people who took the steamed buns and wanted to dip the steamed buns in human blood, but failed?
Or is he the executioner who is a little confused and has doubts about his subsequent career development because there is no blood in the first beheading in his career?
or……
Is it the ghost-headed knife held in the executioner’s arms?
In addition to these more obvious suspicious people and objects, those who gathered around to watch the excitement, as well as the wild dogs that gathered around the execution platform and tried to take away the heads but failed, were also suspected.
Even the crows perched around the execution platform could not rule out suspicion.
Just when Qin Shaoyou was observing these people and objects and guessing who made the strange noise, Cui Youyi nudged him gently with his elbow and asked with a solemn expression: "Did you hear any strange noise just now? "
“What, you heard it too?”
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised.
Senior Brother Cui, when did his ears become so sensitive?
Cui Youyou shook his head and said: "I didn't hear the sound, but I felt an evil aura just now. It's just that this evil aura disappeared as quickly as it came. It disappeared before I could determine its location..."
After explaining his findings, Brother Cui asked again: "What did you hear?"
"I heard a voice saying why there was no blood and that he needed more blood. The voice was thin and cold, which made people feel uncomfortable... Senior Brother Cui, where do you think this voice and the evil spirit came from?
"
“It’s hard to say. There are too many people and things here, and it’s too complicated.”
"yes."
Qin Shaoyou sighed, and at the same time he was wondering in his heart: "Why didn't I have the idea of eating this time?"
Is it because the presence of the sound and evil spirit quickly restrained and hid the breath, so it did not arouse my greed?
Or is there any other reason?
For example, this thing is inedible? Or does it not taste good?
Zhu Xiucai was not as capable as the two of them. He neither heard the strange noise nor sensed the evil spirit.
However, after listening to the words of the two people, he immediately came up and suggested: "How about I find someone to keep an eye on the people and objects around the execution platform, and then wait until the execution is over and the spectators disperse, and then I will unfold them one by one.
investigation?"
After thinking about it briefly, Qin Shaoyou nodded and said, "Okay."
Although he didn't know why that strange voice was thirsting for blood, since Cui Youyi said that the voice contained evil spirits, it was necessary to conduct an investigation to prevent it from happening.
He also doesn’t want to be like the ‘Death Schoolboy’. Wherever he goes, people die and murders occur.
It would be the best thing if dangers or evil spirits could be discovered and eliminated in advance.
After receiving Qin Shaoyou's order, Zhu Xiucai immediately jumped off the roof and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
A moment later, he returned to the yard.
But when he was about to climb up to the roof, he was stopped by the owner of the house, who held out his hand and asked him to pay.
Zhu Xiucai was stunned: "Didn't I just pay the money?"
The owner of the house put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "But didn't you leave? If you come back after leaving, you have to pay again! It's like when you go to a noodle stall to eat noodles, you can't say that you pay for a bowl of noodles.
Just keep eating?"
"This..." Zhu Xiucai was stopped by the question, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui who were on the roof jumped down at this time, saving him from having to pay another copper coin.
"Go out and talk." Qin Shaoyou greeted and led Cui Youxuan and Zhu Xiucai out of the courtyard of this house.
Arrived outside, Zhu Xiucai reported in a low voice: "The manpower has been arranged. When the execution is over and the crowd disperses, we will start investigating one by one."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and praised: "Well done."
At this moment, another commotion broke out among the crowd watching at Caishikou.
The three of them turned their heads and looked around, and saw a tongue of fire rising into the sky.
It seems that the firepower used to burn Shen Bin's body was too strong, which frightened the onlookers.
Several crows were frightened and fluttered their wings, but one or two panicked and flew over the flames. As a result, they were caught in the flames and dragged into the sea of fire, where they quickly turned into charcoal.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Shaoyou looked away, called Zhu Xiucai and Cui Yougui, and then continued to search for the followers of the Black Lotus Sect in Luocheng City.
It was not until the evening when the office was about to leave that Qin Shaoyou, who patrolled carefully in Luocheng, returned to the Demon Suppression Division.
Cui Yousha went to rest, while Zhu Xiucai was busy asking about the surveillance and investigation.
Qin Shaoyou went straight to find Xue Qingshan and reported to him today's discoveries.
“Evil spirits and strange sounds of thirst for blood were found at Shen Bin’s execution site?”
After hearing this report, Xue Qingshan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "What happened in the past two years? There are endless ghosts and ghosts..."
He wanted to say, is it going to change? But he also knew very well that such words must not be uttered, otherwise it would cause fatal trouble.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and reported down: "Zhu Xiucai arranged for people to keep an eye on the people and objects around the execution platform, and launched a corresponding investigation. But so far, no problematic people or objects have been found. .”
“This Zhu Xiucai is quite good at doing things. It seems that I have not chosen the wrong subordinate for you.” Xue Qingshan said with a smile, not sure whether he was praising Zhu Xiucai or himself.
Soon, his expression became serious again, and he said seriously: "Are there enough people to investigate? If not, I will send a few people over to help you."
Qin Shaoyou was not polite and replied: "It's best to send some people to help, because I still found a few Black Lotus sect believers in Luocheng today..."
"You can do it, kid." Xue Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
After asking Qin Shaoyou how he found these Black Lotus Sect believers, he sighed and said, "You are becoming more and more capable. Is this what Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch taught you?"
Seeing Qin Shaoyou nod, Xue Qingshan felt a bit sour in his heart.
Grandmaster, Grandmaster, isn’t it me who you always value? Why did you teach Qin Shaoyou so many skills but not me?
Following that, he thought about comfort: Does the Patriarch want to wait for my cultivation to break through before passing on my powerful skills?
Thinking of this, the sour taste in Xue Qingshan's heart immediately subsided a lot.
He did not forget about the business and asked first: "You didn't arrest anyone, did you?"
After listening to Qin Shao's explanation, "Not yet," he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It's okay if you don't. These Black Lotus believers can be arrested at any time. There's no need to worry. Just keep an eye on them first."
, see if we can catch a big fish.”
Qin Shaoyou replied: "I think so too. Currently, several teams of people are sent to monitor secretly, so there is a slight shortage of manpower and related equipment."
Xue Qingshan nodded with satisfaction after hearing Qin Shaoyou's specific arrangements. He also heard that he had difficulties, so he said: "Short of people and equipment? It doesn't matter, I will allocate them to you."
This is what Qin Shaoyou was waiting for.
He quickly took out a list from his arms and handed it to Xue Qingshan with a smile.
“Brother-in-law, I’m just waiting for your words. We have listed the required personnel and equipment. This is the number for now. If it is not enough, we will add more later.”
“You’re here well prepared, kid.”
Xue Qingshan smiled and took the list. After taking a look, his expression froze.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, widened his eyes and asked: "What do you care about, just a little bit?"
