"Yes, sir, I'll do it right away."
It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Abama walked non-stop. He just arrived at the Holy Master's Mansion and left without even a moment's tea time.
Someone commits a murder in Qiantang. If the murderer is found a moment longer, one person, or even several people, will die less.
"Who would want to kill these young men and women, and why?"
Zhang Yutang's heart was filled with a layer of gloom.
Soon after Abao left, Zhang Yutang also got up and invited the two green and white snakes. Xu Jiaorong and the four of them headed towards the place where the accident occurred to investigate the scene. Maybe there would be shocking discoveries.
In front of the abandoned old house.
This is an old house that has been abandoned for a long time, without any life. It was originally as quiet as a stagnant water. Not many people would pay attention to such an old house. After all, there are too many such old houses in Qiantang.
The old house is surrounded by bare ground, and the ground is covered with withered and yellow weeds. These weeds are extremely tall and waist-deep. However, they have succumbed to the cold of winter and are lying on the ground in various places.
Not much life left.
The withered and yellow weeds were already dying and were trampled mercilessly once again. Many people from Qiantang came here today, standing on the weeds and looking towards the old house with a heavy heart.
It was near this old house that an eleven-year-old boy was unfortunately attacked. His life and death were uncertain. Only a shocking trace of blood dyed the old house red. The bright blood stain shone brightly under the rising sun.
A dazzling light came out, and the nearby weeds seemed to be swept by something, and they were all crushed to the ground, as if there was a giant beast running rampant. Looking at it, a huge fear gradually emerged in my heart.
Could it be that there is a monster in Qiantang, and the monster wants to eat people and drink blood?
With the association of images, the people who came here became more and more frightened, and even seemed to finally trigger a mass panic. People's faces turned pale almost involuntarily.
At the scene of the accident, Li Gongfu was holding a long knife, looking at the blood in front of him, his face a little gloomy. Li Gongfu was surrounded by some Qiantang government officials, maintaining order at the scene.
"Boss, this is already the twenty-eighth death!"
Li Gongfu nodded heavily: "I know, have you discovered anything?"
A young-looking yamen servant hesitated for a while, walked up to Li Gongfu, and whispered: "I heard from the old man that this looks very much like a monster eating a human being."
"Monsters eat people!"
Li Gongfu's brows furrowed, and his mood became even heavier. He had already known this statement, and he even suspected that the person who committed the crime was not a human being, but a monster, or a demon who had accomplished spiritual practice.
"Boss, do you want to ask the great monk from Jinshan Temple to help quell monsters? We are all ordinary people. If there are really monsters, our flesh and blood bodies are not enough for the monsters to eat."
"Don't mislead the public with your lies!"
Li Gongfu growled: "Remember, don't spread your speculation everywhere, otherwise it will confuse people's minds."
"Boss, I'm just telling you." The young government official obviously understood the importance, nodded, and continued to guard the surroundings, waiting for the arrival of Peng Pu, the county government official.
A sedan came from afar. Surrounding the sedan were four thick and dark bearers, who were walking swiftly and carrying the sedan. There were two government officials in front of the sedan to clear the way, and four government officials followed closely behind.
"Sir, we have arrived!"
The sedan stopped, and a government official walked up to the sedan, bowed his waist, and whispered.
"Well, I understand, let's get off the sedan!"
A slightly heavy voice came from the sedan, and then the sedan curtain was opened, revealing a slightly haggard face, melancholy eyes, thin cheeks, and a sparse stubble on the chin.
Peng Pu stepped out and looked around. What he saw was a panicked crowd. He walked directly to the scene of the accident without saying anything.
"Captain Li, have you discovered anything?"
Li Gongfu shook his head and said bitterly: "My lord, I still haven't found anything. There is still a pool of blood, and something seems to have rolled over the weeds on the ground."
Peng Pu frowned, looking a little worried and angry: "What is causing the trouble? Is there no clue at all?"
Li Gongfu lowered his head: "Disciple is incompetent! From my point of view, this should not be done by humans."
"What's that made of?"
"It shouldn't be made by gods."
"oh?"
"It probably wasn't the Buddha who did it."
"Then what is causing trouble?"
"This subordinate doesn't know either."
"Why!"
Peng Pu sighed and said, "Wu Zuo, go and inspect the scene and see if you find anything."
An old widower who was over sixty years old was specially invited by Peng Pu for these recent murders. He hoped that with the help of the old widower's rich experience, he could solve this murder case as soon as possible.
"Yes, sir."
The old man bowed and clasped his fists, carrying a heavy box on his back, and staggered over, inspecting it carefully, hoping to recover the truth of the accident from clues.
Soon, the old man came to Peng Pu and reported: "My lord, I still found nothing as soon as I entered. However, after several tests, I discovered a special phenomenon."
"What special phenomenon?"
Peng Pu's face was filled with joy: "With new discoveries, it means that the case is about to have a new breakthrough."
After sorting out his thoughts, the old man said: "Sir, after many tests, I found that the dander of some creatures can often be found at the scene of the murder. I took it back and verified that these danders are all centipede skins."
The only scary thing is that these danders are very large and completely different from the centipedes we usually see."
"You mean centipedes eat people?"
Peng Pu laughed dumbly: "How is this possible? How big can a centipede grow? It's not a giant python. Even if it wants to eat people, it can't swallow them whole."
"This is exactly what my subordinates are puzzled about."
"Keep it well guarded so no one can get close to it."
Peng Pu frowned, turned around, and thought to himself: "Perhaps I should ask the Holy Master for advice on this matter. The Holy Master is knowledgeable and may not be able to analyze what is going on?"
"My lord, stay!"
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here," said a clear voice with some depth and magnetism. Young Zhang Yutang walked quickly, surrounded by three beauties.
"Holy Master!"
Peng Pu quickly greeted him.
"Master Peng!"
Zhang Yutang folded his hands and bowed: "I'm here to take a look at the murder case here. I wonder if you have found any useful clues?"
"Apart from some centipede skin scraps, nothing else was found, only a pool of blood staining the wall." Peng Pu shook his head dejectedly, full of helplessness.
"Yutang, there is evil spirit!"
The green snake behind him glanced at the scene, walked behind Zhang Yutang, and said softly. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
