His legs were soaked in the muddy water, and his body was limp against the wall.
Two hands were folded in front of him, holding five heads in his arms.
The two little ones at the bottom belong to the younger brothers of this family.
The two old ones in the middle, with a more ferocious expression, belong to Xing Baotou, and the peaceful one is Xing Baotou's wife.
The one on top is Bo Ziyu's own head.
His face, which had once been full of youth, was filled with mud and blood, and his eyes were full of sadness, anger, surprise, and a hint of surprise.
The yard was crowded with police officers. They stood in silence in the rain, silently looking at Bo Ziyu's body and the two Taoists in front of him.
Feng Chong reached out several times to close Bo Ziyu's eyes, but paused several times.
Although they have not known each other for a long time, they have become good friends.
"Let me do it."
Seeing that his eyes were red and his hands were trembling, Li Changan took the initiative to take over the job of collecting the corpse.
In fact, the Taoist priest is also sad in his heart, but he often walks in troubled times and is used to seeing life and death, so he is somewhat used to it.
He placed the head on Bo Ziyu and then chanted softly:
"The gods of the ten directions are actually like sand and dust, they transform into the realms of the ten directions and help the people of the world..."
The place became quieter and quieter, with only the sound of rain and the sound of sutras as companions.
until.
"My girl, my son!"
In the yard, a man stumbled in.
He is the father of two siblings. He was looking after a store for his boss before, but he didn't want to hear such bad news.
The two government officials quickly stepped forward and restrained him, but when the man saw the heads of the two siblings, his body felt like bones had been removed, and he just closed his eyes and cried loudly.
"What's wrong with making such noise? Take him out!"
In the yard, another man came in, dressed as an official, carrying a sword and scolding him.
The government officials did not dare to refute, and only bowed in greetings.
"Jia Baotou."
Later, this person turned out to be the newly appointed chief arrest officer of Xiaoshui County.
Unfortunately, not long after he took office, due to the demon epidemic, the government handed over the dispatching power of the police officers to Bo Ziyu, making him, the chief catcher, a mere decoration.
I heard that I couldn't bear this "shame and humiliation" and had been hiding at home.
Now, I didn't know why I heard the news, and regardless of the monsters that appeared at night, I rushed to the scene in the rain, looked at Bo Ziyu's body for a while, and sighed quietly.
"Alas! Ziyu is young and promising. In the future, our team of policemen will have to rely on him to support him. Even if he is a little reckless, if we bring in more people and don't show off, our lives will not be in vain. The old policeman and his wife will not lose their lives in vain."
The two little boys might also be able to escape with their lives."
"What a pity, what a pity!"
He shook his head for a while. On the outside, he felt sorry for Bo Ziyu, but inside, he put the hat of death on Bo Ziyu's head.
Feng Chong was chanting scriptures along with Li Changan, but when he heard these words, he suddenly turned around: "The whole thing has not been found out, how can we make a conclusion?!"
Jia Captou quickly glanced at Li Changan and saw that he was just chanting sutras, so he smiled at Feng Chong.
"Although Daochang Feng is profound in his teachings, he must know that when investigating a case, he is talking about evidence."
After saying that, the prisoner turned his head and looked like he was "not going to make trouble with you unreasonably."
Feng Chong was furious, but he really didn't know how to investigate, and he was a reasonable person. For a moment, he couldn't find the words to refute, so he had to look at the other detectives, but they just avoided Feng Chong's eyes one by one.
Obviously he didn't want to offend the living leader for the dead squad leader.
At this time.
"Feng Daoren is right."
A cold voice sounded from the house.
"Boss Boss Bo didn't kill anyone except himself."
Except for the man crying outside the door, there were only two Taoist priests and a group of policemen in the yard.
Since the Taoist priest didn't speak, was it the policeman who spoke?
Jia Captou immediately squinted over, wanting to see who was so ignorant of current affairs.
But just one glance.
He fell into the muddy water and shouted.
"Meet Master Yu!"
The person who came was wearing a red skirt and plain clothes and a ghost mask on his head. He was the long-lost Yumei.
Li Changan was very curious. What were Yu Mei and the Zhen Fusi behind her doing these days? But she was currently being saved by Feng Chong, so it was inconvenient to be distracted, so Yu Mei continued:
"The head of Capt. Xing has corpse odor. How can a freshly deceased corpse have corpse odor? Taoist Feng, if you look closely, you will know that Capt.
Corpse demons', 'corpse demons' that don't eat living things, but only eat dead people."
"The bodies of the two children in the house had been eaten. I think they were already dead when Bo Ziyu arrived."
She pointed to the signs of fighting in the house.
"Bo Ziyu was the first to fight with the corpse demon in the house."
I walked to the yard again and performed a magic formula. The water under my feet parted, revealing messy footprints and tumble marks in the mud.
"Then they fought in the courtyard."
She finally pointed to a corner of the yard, where the mud was glowing red, and there was a vague human-shaped depression in the mud. There was also a small pit at the position of Yoma's heart, with some organ fragments remaining inside.
"Bo Ziyu killed the corpse demon here."
Although they had not witnessed it, everyone seemed to be able to see it at this moment. Bo Ziyu pressed the corpse monster into the muddy water and penetrated the monster's heart with a long knife. As the monster continued to struggle, he stirred the blade fiercely, cutting the monster's heart into pieces.
mud.
"But if Brother Bo defeated the monster, where is the body of the monster? And who killed Brother Bo?"
As soon as the eyebrows appeared, Jia Captou just nodded and bowed, but Feng Chong got serious.
"It's very simple."
No expression can be seen under the eyebrow mask, and the voice remains cold and cold.
"A third party intervened. It emerged from the darkness, attacked suddenly, and killed Team Leader Bo."
"The attacker did not leave any traces. He must also be a monster. He is good at hiding. He taught this boss Bo to die in a daze."
Feng Chong was still frowning, but Jia Captou had already winked, causing all the government servants to start flattering him, saying "Your Excellency is aware of everything" and "What Your Excellency said is absolutely true" rained down like rain.
However.
"Yu sent someone's last sentence, but he made a mistake."
But it was Li Changan who suddenly spoke out after finishing reciting the sutra.
"Although Brother Bo died, he did not die in a daze."
He raised Bo Ziyu's clenched hand and opened his palm. There was a finger-long hair inside, which was light yellow and seemed to belong to some kind of animal.
"He has told us who the murderer is."
The Taoist priest picked up the hair and sniffed it gently.
A strange fragrance surged into my nose.
This is a special fragrance blended with a variety of precious spices using a secret recipe.
There is only one person in the entire Xiaoshui who has such a fragrance.
…………
The third lady of Li'erlou.
A name that no one would have thought of.
She was the first wealthy businessman to fund the demon eradication, and she was also the first to come forward to contact the government and private forces to jointly exterminate the demon.
Although she doesn't appear much, in the eyes of many people, she is the one who is most enthusiastic and active in exterminating demons besides Li Changan, Feng Chong, and Bo Ziyu.
It can be said that Li Changan and the other three are responsible for carrying the knives, while Sanniang is responsible for collecting the money.
Is such a person... actually a monster?
But then I thought about it, if Sanniangzi is really a monster that lurks in the darkness under the lamp, then certain problems will be explained.
From infection to demon transformation, the victim needs to eat a lot during the transformation process.
It has been found that the transportation of food relies on manure collectors, but where is the source of the food?
This is not a small amount.
The local area has many mountains and few fields, so it produces little food.
Most of the food consumed and brewed is shipped from other places.
The city's supply also relies entirely on several grain stores, and due to the demon epidemic, every grain of grain on the accounts of the grain stores is closely monitored. Any abnormal consumption or allocation will arouse the vigilance of the officials.
But it took ten days or so.
There is no movement at all in terms of grain stores.
In the past, I thought it was the doctor secretly stocking up on grains, but now it turns out that it was clearly an insider, because this third lady happened to be the largest grain merchant in Xiaoshui.
There is no need for delay, soldiers need to be swift.
Bo Ziyu's death finally touched the dull nerves of the government. The next actions were vigorous and resolute. He opened the Treasury, mobilized the government officials and archers, and immediately sent out a "big army" to surround Li'er Building in the rain, and all kinds of "hunters"
The "monsters" also heard the news and came to join in to get a share of the pie.
Li'er Building is not only a building, it has a restaurant at the front, which is connected to the private room in the courtyard, and behind the private room is Sanniangzi's private residence, which is connected to the grain store's warehouse.
It can be said that it occupies a vast area.
Fortunately, there are many people here and they are eager to make a fortune.
Simply divide it into several strands and rush in individually.
Yu Mei disappeared again, Feng Chong went to the other side, and Li Changan mingled with a group of government servants and entered through the side door of the restaurant. It is worth mentioning that the arrester was also among them.
Although he was promoted to chief catcher a few days ago, he was "seized" by Bo Ziyu. Now that he finally got the opportunity, he must perform well, strive for meritorious service, and secure his position as chief catcher.
So, he took the lead and walked at the front of the team.
But the corridor was dark, and monsters seemed to appear at every turn.
He couldn't help feeling frightened, so he couldn't help but hold Li Changan in his arms, and kept talking to relieve his tension and anxiety.
"If it hadn't happened like this, there would be no peace tonight."
Li Changan chatted casually.
"How to say?"
"By this time in the past few days, monsters had come out to eat people. There were people beating gongs and drums and shouting to kill people everywhere in the city. But today it's strange. I didn't hear any movement... Huh? What does it smell like?
It smells so good!”
Of course the Taoist priest also smelled it.
This is the aroma of wine.
It's the aroma of good wine.
To be precise, it is a kind of Li'erlou's unique good wine, which is made from the best wine and spices added with a secret recipe.
It is said that they are usually only given to distinguished guests in private rooms, but these days, they are occasionally distributed to reward the government officials and "monster hunters" who watch the night.
Li Changan has also drank it several times, and it has a strong taste and unique aroma.
Leng Buding smelled it again, and he felt drunk for a moment, and his stomach was a little turbulent, as if he had aroused the alcohol bug.
Who overturned the wine jar?
The Taoist priest was thinking this, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong. Jia Baotou had been chattering endlessly, but now his voice seemed to come from something unusual.
Li Changan turned around and looked.
Jia Baotou was still standing in the same place, but there was only a section of his neck in place of his head, like a long white worm, trembling and winding upward. The Taoist priest raised his head and found his head on the ceiling.
Like a snowman in the sun, his head is constantly melting.
Paji.
The eyeballs fell off along with the nose and turned into a puddle of mucus.
at this time.
In the rustling rain.
Screams, howls, roars, and collision sounds were heard in the darkness at the same time.
Not far away, there should be another team, shouting in panic.
"Help! Monsters! There are so many monsters... ah!"
The Taoist priest silently held his sword and glanced out of the corner of his eye.
Behind him, in the team of government officials, there were people with long necks like a forest.
And ahead, the head catcher was still chattering.
"Taoist Priest, let's take a guess..."
His face had melted until only one mouth was still open and closed.
