While Chen Zhiyu was thinking, the two middle-aged men next to Chen Yiqiu were hesitant to speak.
Chen Zhiyu also saw the strange expressions of the two people. He was originally going to go to the scene of the crime, but now he had a new breakthrough.
Chen Zhiyu's eyes looked at the two middle-aged men like sharp swords. However, the two middle-aged men could not withstand Chen Zhiyu's pressure and knelt down with a "plop".
When Chen Yiqiu on the side saw this, he didn't know that these two people had definitely done something wrong, but at this time, Chen Zhiyu, the immortal master, saw it out.
So he immediately stood up eagerly with a cane in his hand, looked at the two middle-aged men and roared:
"The two traitors still haven't told the truth to the immortal master!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyu understood why the old man was so anxious. It turned out to be his own son!
"Master Immortal, I have nothing to hide!"
"Just a few months ago, my brother and I went to Cuihua House in the town to drink wine and fell in love with a beauty, but then the beauty disappeared!"
One of the older middle-aged men glanced at the crowd, then at his brother, and then said to Chen Zhiyu.
When Chen Zhiyu heard this, before he could say anything, the dense crowd beside him let out a scream:
"Damn it, you evil-hearted thing, I will give you children and take care of the housework..."
Immediately afterwards, a woman with a strong back and a muscular body rushed out from the crowd, and then rushed towards the slightly younger middle-aged man with lightning speed, and then there was a melee.
Chen Zhiyu knew why the slightly older middle-aged man looked back just now. At this time, Chen Zhiyu felt a little sympathetic to this man.
But at this time, Chen Zhiyu would not allow her to act recklessly again.
"stop!"
This loud shout reached the ears of everyone in the hall, causing everyone's ears to buzz, their heads to feel dizzy, and some even fell to the ground.
Just like that, the woman stopped beating her.
Chen Zhiyu just shouted loudly, but he used a bit of magic power. It seemed like it was just "buzzing" like a mosquito, but in fact it had already affected the other person's mind.
If it weren't for the fact that these people in front of him were all members of his own clan, and Chen Zhiyu was still a little restrained, I'm afraid there would have been more than a dozen corpses in this hall.
"Master Immortal, calm down!"
"Master Immortal, calm down!"
Chen Yiqiu, who was standing by, saw the immortal master getting angry and quickly threw away his crutch, knelt down and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
The woman also reacted, and was frightened for a moment. Just now, she was so arrogant in front of the immortal master, and she immediately hit herself in the face with her hand.
While beating and shouting:
"Master Immortal, calm down!"
"Master Immortal, calm down!"
Everyone in the hall also knelt down anxiously and kept begging for mercy.
"Okay, get up and let him finish what he said!"
Chen Zhiyu stood up and pointed at the two middle-aged men.
The woman obediently returned to the crowd.
The slightly older middle-aged man continued:
"We never saw the woman from the restaurant again after that!"
"oh!"
"Take me to the missing woman's residence!"
After Chen Zhiyu thought for a moment, he gave instructions to the two middle-aged men.
Chen Zhiyu was led by the two men to the residence in front of the woman.
Chen Zhiyu also found out on the way that the missing woman's name was Cuizhi.
Although she sold her body in a brothel, she was also the daughter of a clean family before.
But there was an old man in the family who got sick a few years ago and died after surviving for several months.
Before her father died, in order to treat his father, Cuizhi pawned herself and sold herself to Cuihua House in exchange for money to treat her father's illness.
But in the end her father passed away.
It sounds like she is a woman who has a hard life, but who in this world doesn't have a hard life? They have to go through many hardships to become immortals.
Chen Zhiyu shook his head, but he didn't think much about it. But in his heart, he had already judged the ghost's identity.
When I arrived at Cuizhi's residence, I saw a gray-white courtyard with mottled walls and overgrown weeds, which was in sharp contrast to Chen Yiqiu's blue brick house.
Chen Zhiyu waved his sleeves, and the small wooden door opened automatically.
The courtyard was filled with gloom and smoke, and there were weeds everywhere. For a while, everyone couldn't see the courtyard clearly.
Chen Zhiyu pinched the magic formula with his hand, a breeze swept by, the smoke dispersed, and everyone could see clearly what was going on in the courtyard.
I saw a desolate scene everywhere in the courtyard: spider webs extended in all directions, large and small, overlapping in circles, hanging in various places in the courtyard, with spiders catching things on them, and mice coming from time to time in the weeds.
A "squeaking" sound.
Apparently no one has lived here for a long time.
Chen Zhiyu and others also covered their noses with their hands, because at this time there was a smell of rotting corpses coming from the courtyard.
Chen Zhiyu turned his head and gave Chen Yiqiu a thoughtful look.
Chen Yiqiu, who was already in his 60s, suddenly trembled all over, but felt extremely scared in his heart.
Because just now he boasted to the immortal master he should call "uncle" that there were only six shriveled corpses in Haikou.
Now it seems that he has shot himself in the foot.
The smell just now was obviously the corpse gas emanating from the rotting corpses. Even he could smell it, and the immortal master must have known it.
A wry smile appeared on his face, and it was obvious that he was also very afraid of this "uncle" attacking him.
But he was overthinking it. Not only that he died of an insignificant mortal, but as a member of the Chen family, Chen Zhiyu would not trouble him because of this matter.
But beating him is inevitable.
Next, without waiting for Chen Zhiyu's instructions, Chen Yiqiu asked the middle-aged man who came with him to explore the small courtyard.
As for what to explore, it was naturally to explore the corpse that smelled of decay.
"Uncle Yiqiu, nothing unusual was found!"
"Uncle Yiqiu, there is no problem!"
…………
After about half a stick of incense, the men who searched the yard came one after another to report the search results to Chen Yiqiu.
Apparently nothing was found.
However, Chen Zhiyu, who had never spoken, knew that there was definitely a corpse in this yard, and most likely it was the corpse named Cuizhi.
He was waiting for everyone to find clues. After all, he couldn't search for clues from these ordinary people who were so graceless.
"A body was found here!"
Suddenly a scream broke the silent atmosphere.
Then two middle-aged men came to Chen Zhiyu and said:
"Master Immortal, uncle, we found a female corpse in the bluestone well in the courtyard."
