Cao Yiyi got up very early today because it was her turn to be on duty at the county government office.
Originally she wanted to say hello to Liang Du, but found that he had already left.
"So early?"
Cao Yiyi couldn't help but murmured, her face looking unhappy for some reason.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood. This hint of daughterly attitude disappeared in an instant, and she regained her coolness.
At this time, she was the heroic head catcher again, Cao Yiyi.
I saw her mount her horse instantly with one cool movement.
"drive!"
……………………
Liang Du got up early today, washed up in a hurry, and went out.
Because he was still a little embarrassed thinking about what happened last night, he felt a little frightened and did not dare to meet Cao Yiyi at all.
When he arrived at Caobang early in the morning and entered the Sutra Pavilion, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Fang Xiu didn't encounter him, so he was extremely lucky.
Today he had made up his mind to stay in the Sutra Pavilion and not go anywhere.
The man spits and nails, says he won't go, and won't go even if he is beaten to death.
Swear on your own iron shirt!
At this moment, he sensed the person in the secret room of the Sutra Pavilion. He just glanced at him and stopped paying attention to him.
It seems that everything is going well. I just need to find the external skills that suit my body style today, and everything will be fine.
This time, like yesterday, he dived into the first floor and began to look for exercises that suited him.
"Swallows copy water!?"
It didn't take long before Liang Du finally found an external skill of his own.
But after he roughly read the cultivation methods recorded in it, he was quite disappointed.
"I carry an iron bag on my calf every day, gradually increase the weight, and practice special breathing techniques. I can walk ten meters in water at the highest depth."
However, if this is the case, then the calf will not be so thick?
Seeing the shortcomings of this outer sect technique, Liang Du immediately began to dislike it.
Because even if you practice to high depths, you can only walk ten meters on the water, what's the use of it?
I am not a charlatan, so why should I abuse myself like this?
However, let's put it aside for now. If there is no better choice, then we can only practice it first.
I only hope that by then, after the superposition of gray marks, it can retain the effects of cultivation like the iron cloth shirt and golden bell cover, without corresponding side effects.
Liang Du had observed those people in the Cao Gang who were skilled in iron cloth yesterday. Which one of them was not a pile of flesh and extremely fat?
Sure enough, those who practice external martial arts forcefully train themselves to the point of being extremely ugly, no wonder they are discriminated against by others.
It's terrible.
While Liang Du continued to search for movement skills, Cao Yiyi was in a state of confusion.
"What, you said three people disappeared in a row last night? Before each missing person was found, the city guards heard a scream?"
"That's right, sir. According to the city guards, just in the west of the city, they heard three screams and discovered that three people were missing mysteriously."
"What are the characteristics of these three people?"
"It's true. Among the three of them, one is a pig butcher, one is a pig sewer maker, and the third one is a skin drum maker, using pig skins."
"Um?"
Cao Yiyi was a little strange. This characteristic was quite special, but what does it have to do with their disappearance?
She didn't expect that because of concern for her own face, the city guards just passed by the leather puppets, so she didn't hear this strange clue.
She looked at the file and felt a little confused, so she was going to take someone out to take a look.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I met Chow Tai Fook.
"It's early for Cao to catch him."
Cao Yiyi was anxious about the case at this time, so she simply said hello and left in a hurry.
Seeing this situation, Chow Tai Fook casually asked a government official next to him.
After he heard what happened, he didn't show anything unusual.
But when he turned around, he heard the Yamen servant muttering and turned around immediately.
"You mean, the city guard said that the leather puppets in these three people's homes are a bit leaky, and they feel cold all over their bodies?"
The yamen servant nodded, but Chow Tai Fook's face looked a little bad. He suddenly turned around and changed direction and walked out of the yamen.
"What's going on? Why do you look so ugly?"
The yamen servant was a little confused.
Zhou Dafu was the longest-serving executioner in Yongcheng, and everyone, including Gu Shu, respected him extremely.
Because everyone knows that there is definitely something special about Chow Tai Fook who has been an executioner for so long.
Chow Tai Fook walked to the morgue, took a look, and happened to see Wu Zuo coming out.
Wu Zuo's face turned a little pale at this time, and Chow Tai Fook didn't care. After all, he saw the Yin Qi above the morgue.
He said hello to Wu Zuo, then left the yamen, checked the direction Cao Yiyi left, and followed him.
……………………
When Cao Yiyi arrived at the door of Butcher Ge, there was already a government sticker on the door, and the people passing by pointed at it from time to time.
Cao Yiyi gave her subordinates a look, and they immediately opened the seal and walked in.
The house was not big, so Cao Yiyi quickly checked the inside and outside.
The utensils in the house are neat and tidy, and there are no signs of fighting at all.
But the man just screamed and then disappeared mysteriously. There was no clue at all.
Cao Yiyi frowned, but at this moment, she saw a leather puppet out of the corner of her eye and actually smiled.
She was startled for a moment, but when she looked carefully, she saw that the puppet was normal. It seemed like everything was an illusion just now.
Suddenly, a slap hit her shoulder. The hairs on her body stood up instantly, and she turned around and punched her.
The person behind her directly blocked her attack and said, "It's me, Cao Cao."
"Zhou Xingshou?"
Looking at Chow Tai Fook in front of her, Cao Yiyi felt relieved and wondered if she had been too sensitive just now.
"What happened to you just now? Why is there a layer of sweat on your head?"
Cao Yiyi also trusted Chow Tai Fook, so she told him her feelings just now.
Chow Tai Fook laughed and said, "It's just a leather puppet. Capt. Cao must have seen it wrong."
"Really? By the way, Zhou Xingshou, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
"It's nothing. I just heard that Capt. Cao has moved to my place. Since we are neighbors, how about we have a meal together when we have time and ask Shang Liangdu to come with us?"
Cao Yiyi nodded in agreement. Chow Tai Fook seemed to be doing this just for this reason. After saying that, he walked away.
Although Cao Yiyi was a little confused, Chow Tai Fook came to see her for such a trivial matter, but she didn't think much about it.
But when she looked at the leather puppets again, she no longer had the weird feeling she had just now.
Is it really an illusion?
She didn't notice that the area where she had been photographed by Chow Tai Fook had some faint fluorescence, rather like outlined runes.
"Let's go to the next missing person's home."
……………………
Cao Yiyi was investigating the missing persons case, but Liang Du was a little helpless.
He had already read through almost a third of the secret manuals on external skills, but could not find a suitable body technique at all.
He even discovered a secret manual for fishing in troubled waters.
The so-called "Moveless as a Mountain".
At first he thought it was some kind of external skill like Iron Bushan.
Who would have thought that this is all nonsense.
Visualize the Dharma Gate?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?
What kind of external power is this?
In fact, it was because he studied the content in the book and visualized the so-called demonic ape as motionless as a mountain, sitting in the sea of consciousness.
In the end, he almost fell asleep, because of this, he would curse so much.
I feel like a fool for actually testing whether this technique has any effect!
However, do you really want to imitate the swallow to copy water?
Liang Du was still a little unwilling.
In this mood, it soon reached noon and it was time for Caobang's inner door to open for dinner. He could only give up these thoughts for the time being.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he thought he was just a little transparent, but who knew, everyone was paying attention to him.
Even the cook in the cafeteria gave him meals for three people.
This damn appearance made even the aunt irresistible, and it even cured her hand tremors.
However, when the gang members lined up behind him still complained about Auntie's lack of food, he knew that Auntie's skills had never failed.
It's just that his face is different.
Liang Du ate this meal with some trepidation. After all, too many people were looking at him, which made him feel a little unbearable.
At this moment, there suddenly was an extra person across from his dining table.
Liang Du looked up and couldn't help but wailed in his heart.
