Hearing what I said, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions, but walked directly downstairs and started the car.
I got into the car, Xu Yang stepped on the accelerator and sped away towards Black Wind Forest.
When we came to the edge of Black Wind Forest, I relied on my memory and asked Xu Yang to park the car at the place where I came out that day.
I have already eliminated the Yin Fei evil spirit here, and the formation has naturally been broken, so we walked in easily.
Not far into the woods, there was a small wooden house in front of us. Before we walked in, the door of the wooden house opened.
Zhu Laoqi, who looked as pale as a zombie, stood at the door, staring at Xu Yang and me in stunned silence.
"Don't move, raise your hands!" Seeing Zhu Laoqi, Xu Yang immediately took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Zhu Laoqi.
Zhu Laoqi, who was standing at the door, had a black gun pointed at his head before he knew what was happening, making the guy's already pale face even paler.
I didn't expect Xu Yang to actually draw a gun when they met, but I can't blame him. Who makes Zhu Laoqi look so scary? With a zombie face and black clothes, everyone who sees him will probably die.
his impulse.
After glancing at the pistol in Xu Yang's hand and then at me, Zhu Laoqi's face twitched, and then he knelt down with a pop.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I lost the competition a few days ago. I sincerely admit defeat, and I also listen to your words. I have been packing up and moving these days. I will never appear in Jishui again. Friend Daoist, you don't need to kill everyone."
Right." Zhu Laoqi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at me pitifully and almost cried.
I didn't expect that this guy didn't have the demeanor of his predecessors. He knelt down directly in front of the gun. It seems that no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. This sentence is indeed correct.
Looking at the pitiful Zhu Laoqi on the ground, I was a little speechless, thinking to myself, could it be that I had made a mistake?
Xu Yang also looked at me with a puzzled look on his face, as if he had never seen such a cowardly suspect.
I sighed and quickly waved my hand to him, asking him to put the gun away.
Xu Yang glanced at Zhu Laoqi on the ground and seemed to feel that the guy was not a threat, so he put the gun back.
"Stand up. I came here today to ask you something." I said to Zhu Laoqi.
Zhu Laoqi glanced at me in shock and stood up carefully, but his legs were still shaking. It seemed that this guy was really scared.
"Fellow Daoist Li, whatever you want to ask, I will definitely tell you everything you want to know!" Zhu Laoqi patted his chest and said.
I didn't talk nonsense to him and went directly to the topic: "Did you kill Liang Tian, the chairman of Liangcheng Group?"
"What Liang Tian?" Zhu Laoqi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a grimace: "Friend Li, please don't accuse me wrongly. I'm just an honest corpse breeder. I bought the corpses from the funeral parlor in a serious manner.
Yes, but as a law-abiding citizen, I wish Lao Qi would never commit murder or violate the law."
I looked at him and curled my lips. No matter how I heard these words coming from the mouth of a corpse breeder like Zhu Laoqi, I felt awkward. This guy was not a good person.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking if it's you?" I interrupted him and asked him.
"No, absolutely not. Even if I think about it, I don't have the strength now. The Yin Fei evil spirit that I worked so hard to raise has been destroyed by you. Now I vomit blood every day. I just want to go back to Xiangxi to recuperate. What else can I think about?
Ah." Zhu Laoqi said with a grimace.
I glanced at him, and what he said was not a lie. He had worked hard to raise the Yin Fei Evil Spirit, and it was consistent with his numerology. He must have suffered a lot of backlash after I was crippled him, otherwise this guy would be dead now.
Not so cowardly.
I guessed that Liang Tian's death had nothing to do with him, so I then asked: "Then do you know of any other experts in corpse hunting in Jishui?"
Zhu Laoqi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No more. After the little kid who opened the noodle shop on Linfeng Street and I, there are not many people in Jishui for the corpse hunting business. Ours is more special."
, there are only a few people there, so we generally know each other.”
I frowned. His expression didn't look like he was lying. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was not a corpse hunter.
"When did you leave Jishui?" I asked him.
Hearing what I said, Zhu Laoqi nodded quickly and replied: "The day after tomorrow, I'll leave the day after tomorrow. I've already booked the ticket."
I nodded, quite satisfied with Zhu Laoqi's performance. Although this guy looks like a ghost, I still feel a little nervous.
"Well, remember what you said. If you are still here next time I come, you know what the consequences will be." I said to him.
"Definitely, definitely, fellow Daoist Li, don't worry. I, Zhu Laoqi, always stick to my word when I say it, and I will leave as soon as I say it, without any ambiguity!" Zhu Laoqi said loudly.
I was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and walked out directly with Xu Yang.
"He seems to be afraid of you?" Xu Yang asked me on the way.
I smiled and said: "I beat him a few days ago, so he is afraid of me."
I asked Xu Yang to send me directly to Linfeng Street. Although Liang Tian's case has some clues, I still have no clue. If his death is really related to the Five Elements, there will definitely be a second victim.
Water produces wood, and Liang Tian is water, so the next person to die must be wood.
Although waiting for a crime to happen makes people feel helpless, there is no other way, because we have no clues, and we don't even know whether the perpetrator is a human or a ghost, so we can only wait.
Xu Yang walked me to the door of the shop and left. He was the captain of the criminal police and was very busy.
When we came to the shop, Xiaoyu had already prepared dinner. At the dinner table, the old friends were chatting about interesting things from all over the world, and eating the rice like a wooden machine. This scene actually made me feel a bit warm.
After eating and drinking, I lay on the lounge chair at the door, drinking the tea that Xiaoyu had made, and chatting boringly with the old Taoist. I was thinking about Liang Tian's death case. No matter whether the murderer was a human or a ghost, I must do it.
catch him!
I took a sip of water, handed the cup to Xiaoyu, and then started working, squinting and looking at the street outside.
Linfeng Street is quite special, so there may not be a single pedestrian on the street at night.
At this time, a person was walking on the deserted street. The person's footsteps were very fast, as if he was floating, and he was heading towards my shop.
Under the dim light, the man did not leave a shadow on the ground. He was a ghost!
