Yang Chao's words brought Li Kui back from his thoughts.
He held the cigarette butt hard in his palm, forgot what he had just thought about, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something and I was lost in thought."
Yang Chao nodded and said no more.
Ever since.
The two of them returned to the coffin shop.
…………
Inside a mud-tiled house in Long'ao Village.
Darkness surged like thick fog.
The figure on the bed slowly stood up and murmured in a low voice: "Inspection Department."
Then he seemed to chuckle: "I didn't expect that the little bugs from a few months ago have grown up now. It's really impressive."
Although there was a bit of a smile, the murderous intent in his words was cold and bone-chilling.
Yes, of course he remembers Li Kui.
If Li Kui hadn't caused trouble, he wouldn't have come out of Hexinzhuang so quickly, affected his whole body with a single move, and caused his most important clone to die. How could he forget such a great hatred.
In a blink of an eye.
"This is my last chance."
The ticket inspector sighed and said somewhat helplessly: "After this incident, I have to find a place to hide for a while."
With his strength, even with that corpse, he couldn't even hope to compete with the underworld.
He knew Yin Si's plan in his heart, but he couldn't give up bus No. 404. This bus can travel freely in and out of the Yin and Yang realms, and all his skills were derived from this bus.
"They want to use us as a stepping stone."
Suddenly.
A low voice sounded from the dark corner.
"Stepping stone, not everyone can step on this stone!"
The man then smiled, and the fog-like darkness surged and boiled.
"We only have one chance."
"Yes, we only have one chance!
"Once we win again, the underworld will come up with really powerful weapons to capture us!"
"Pitiful."
"Yes, who made us homeless ghosts!"
The surging darkness suddenly calmed down, and there was no movement in the cramped room. The figure lay back on the bed again.
…………
The next few days will be calm!
The impact of the female corpse in Long'ao Village gradually disappeared.
I heard that a villager named Xu Ling accidentally fell off the cliff when he went down the mountain in the middle of the night. If the village had not organized people to search for him, he would have died of excessive bleeding or starvation.
Xu Zhao does bloodletting on time every day.
It's just that the dark circles under his eyes are getting thicker and he looks worried.
As for the other two.
Li Kui and Yang Chao went out to the coffin shop, but they didn't know where they went. They didn't come back until evening. After that, they didn't even take a step towards the door.
The time has come to November 2nd.
First seven.
…………
The afternoon sun is just right, the mountains are densely forested, and the dappled sunlight is not dazzling.
Li Kui was sitting on the threshold smoking a cigarette, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at the empty door.
The yin energy in the mourning hall is very strong.
It just so happens that today is also the first day of the female corpse.
tread,
Xu Zhao sat down next to Li Kui, his eyes were a little wandering, and he asked softly: "Are you really going to do this?"
Li Kui didn't say anything.
Xu Zhao pursed his lips.
Half a moment.
"You're a bit like me when I first came out to work."
Li Kui flicked the ashes of his cigarette and remembered that when he first became a ghost sergeant, he had been soft-hearted and had undue kindness.
"Do you know what she has suffered? Can you empathize with her? Do you know that your kindness is actually the greatest harm to her?
"to be honest,
"I actually don't want to answer your 100,000 whys, because I'm not in a good mood either.
"I know you're looking for an answer,
"I also know that if someone close to you commits an evil act, hesitation and confusion are normal. Human growth cannot be figured out by others saying a few words. Growth is cruel and can be understood in an instant.
"
call--
In the midst of the green smoke, the indifferent face was reflected in the sunlight, with the lower half in shadow, showing a coldness.
"Xu Zhao, do you know what the punishment of Da Qin is for such people?
"Beheading, beheading, hanging, hanging."
Li Kui turned his cheek and glanced at Xu Zhao. His extremely cold eyes made Xu Zhao feel suffocated for a moment.
silence.
"I see!"
Xu Zhao let out the suffocation in his chest, patted his dusty trouser legs, and returned to the mourning hall.
Li Kui shook his head slightly, put out the cigarette butt on the ground, and looked up at the open door as if feeling something.
But when he saw the haggard and pale face peeking out from the wooden frame, his eyes were particularly frightened. When he saw Li Kui looking towards him, he immediately retracted his head.
"Uncle Fugui, what are you doing here? Why don't you go in?"
Immediately, I heard the voice of fat man Xu Yi coming from outside the gate, followed by the sound of footsteps hurried away, and then I saw Xu Yi hurried in carrying a thermos box, with a look on his face that was actually quite anxious.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Kui."
"Hey, Xu Yi is here to deliver food again."
Li Kui said with a teasing smile.
"Oh, Brother Kui, you still want to eat!"
Coming closer, Xu Yi was so anxious that he stamped his feet hard and said hurriedly:
"When I came here just now, I saw the village chief leading two government officials walking here. I thought something was wrong, so I ran over first."
"Oh? Patrol Division."
Li Kui raised his eyebrows.
"What? Patrol Division!"
Xu Zhao, who heard the sound, ran out quickly.
"Yes, this is it!"
The village chief's voice sounded.
The three of them turned around and saw two patrol officers walking in under the leadership of the village chief.
"He's the one who found the body."
The village chief pointed at Li Kui and forced a smile.
Li Kui took a closer look and found that the trousers of the two government servants were covered with dirt.
"Hello, we received a call saying that a murder was discovered in Long'ao Village."
Among them, the slightly older yamen officer looked at Li Kui and said in a deep voice: "Are you the one who discovered the female body?"
"right."
Li Kui nodded in agreement.
"We want to see the condition of the body first," the elderly government official said immediately.
"Report to the main station, we have successfully arrived at Long'ao Village." At this time, another government official took out the radio to report.
"The body is here."
Xu Zhao licked his lips and took the initiative to speak.
then.
The heavy coffin lid was opened.
The appearance of the female corpse appeared in front of the two government officials. Suddenly, they saw a pair of unblinking eyes looking directly at them. Even the old government officials were shocked.
"this……"
The old government officer put on gloves and tried to close the eyes of the female corpse, but they opened them suddenly in an instant. Such a strange scene made him stunned on the spot, and he could only observe the scars on the forehead of the corpse.
"It was indeed his death."
After a while, the old yamen servant sighed, looked at Li Kui and scolded:
“I heard from the village chief that you want this woman to spend her first seven years here? Let’s not talk about superstition issues. Shouldn’t you, including you, call the patrol department as soon as possible?
"You are not doing this for her own good! Instead, you are delaying our investigation of the case."
"It rained heavily in the past two days, and there was a landslide on the mountain road causing a mudslide. There was nothing we could do."
Li Kui replied.
"..."
The elderly yamen officer opened his mouth and said helplessly: "No matter what, at least the phone call must be made, this is a murder case!"
"Let's do this. You guys will go back with me first to take notes."
The old government officer thought for a moment and then said.
"Today is his grandpa's first birthday. You think, or I can go with you."
Li Kui said softly: "I am the discoverer. Only I know the true story of the matter. It will be useless if they go."
Half a moment.
The old yamen officer frowned and then said, "Okay, in that case, you can come with us."
Ever since.
Li Kui got into the patrol car and slowly left Long'ao Village.
