After Li Afu was imprisoned, he was first questioned and looked suspicious, then he was told about punishment, and soon everything was done.
He stole the child, and he is still hiding it in the cellar without being able to sell it. At the same time, he also revealed an important piece of news.
There is a group of people selling children outside Guobei City, but they only want girls.
After asking for the information, Zhu Xiao, the eight-foot-tall head catcher, immediately led people to Li Afu's house and found the cellar according to Li Afu's instructions.
Opening the outer cover, there was indeed a six or seven-year-old girl in the cellar. She was tied with a rope and had a rag stuffed in her mouth. Her face was full of horror and she was very pitiful.
They sent the child home, and the family held the child in their arms and was extremely grateful.
By the way, I gave him some "thank you money", and Zhu Xiao smiled and pocketed it.
"This guy is so shameless!" Hou Zhu said angrily when he saw this.
Wang Zhe smiled. Although this guy is very annoying, it is not a bad thing for him to like to be in the limelight so much.
After returning to the Yamen, they reported the child trafficking outside the city. After hearing this, the county captain personally led the people out of the city and came to the dilapidated mountain temple.
As a result, the place was deserted, not to mention people, not even a bird, and nothing was caught.
After returning to the city and getting twenty taels of silver, Wang Zhe naturally wanted to treat Lao Hou to a drink.
I ordered a few appetizers, two hard dishes, a pot of mutton, roasted goose, and some toothpaste.
"You are not young now. You need to find someone to start a family. Which girl do you like? I will help you propose marriage." After drinking two bowls of wine, Hou Zhu became concerned about Wang Zhe's life events.
"Why are you so anxious?" Wang Zhe said with a smile. He is not yet twenty years old.
It's good to be alone now, without any worries, not to mention that I have this wonderful book "The Impermanence of Yin and Yang" with me. This is a big secret and cannot be known to others.
"There's no rush. When I was your age, my father had already started planning my marriage, and I later met..."
Mentioning the past, Houshu's face suddenly showed a bit of bitterness, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
When he left the wine shop, Hou Zhu was already drunk and staggered when he walked, so Wang Zhe sent him back home.
The next day, I started the familiar life of a police officer, ordering my thumbs, patrolling the streets, listening to my colleagues bragging and gossiping, and going to a wine shop to have a drink.
During this period, Wang Zhe inquired about Mr. Huang in a circumstantial manner, and only found out that he had invited two more masters. No one knew how high they were.
So he decided to wait.
The peaceful life was interrupted within a few days.
It was a sunny and windy day. In the morning, a man hurriedly entered the county government office to report to the official, saying that something had happened in their village and many people had died.
The county lieutenant personally took people to investigate, because the accident happened in his hometown.
Before entering the mountain village, Wang Zhe noticed a faint smell of blood from the wind.
He closed his eyes slightly and used the "Qi Watching Technique" to look at the sky above the mountain village, and saw a bloody cloud, covering the village like a blood cloud.
After entering the village, they came to a house where the accident occurred.
The county lieutenant came out quickly after entering. His face was very ugly, and his body was shaking slightly. He didn't know if he was angry.
Two of the detectives who went in came out with pale faces, holding on to the wall and vomiting.
"What's going on? Is it so serious?"
Wang Zhe was stunned when he entered. He saw that the bed, walls, tables, and the room were all covered with blood and the debris of muscles, bones, and internal organs. It was like a slaughtering scene.
What's even more terrifying is that most of the flesh and blood of these corpses have disappeared. Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that they were eaten by something.
There are bloody footprints on the ground, which are obviously larger than ordinary people's soles.
I visited three houses in succession, and they were all like this.
What Wang Zhe worried about when he left last time became a reality.
This village encountered something very scary. Wang Zhe immediately thought of the black energy he saw in the back mountain.
"Could it be that thing that did it?"
Seeing such a thing happening in his hometown, the county captain's face was very ugly.
He is also a knowledgeable person, and he can guess by looking at the situation at the scene that there is a high probability that some monster has entered the mountain village.
All four families were killed overnight. The whole village was in a panic, fearing that they would be next. Some people even left the mountain village but took refuge with relatives.
The clues left at the scene were also obvious. The bloody footprints led to the mountains, but no one dared to pursue them.
Wang Zhe used the "Qi Watching Technique" in the mountain village and looked towards the mountains. He could see a black air floating out of the mountain forest, like a line of smoke, which was much stronger than the last time he saw it.
The county lieutenant talked alone with the elders in the village for a long time. After disposing of the bodies of the four families, he left with a group of detectives, walking very quickly, in a hurry, and impatiently.
They are also afraid of death!
"Azhe, what do you think those people were killed by?"
"Monsters in the mountains."
"I know, what kind of monster is it?"
"Then I don't know, mandrills, evil spirits, zombies."
Just now in the room in the mountain village, he smelled a faint fishy smell, like the smell of rotting meat that had been left for many days.
He had tasted a similar smell when he was searching for the body of the missing county captain's father on the mountain.
After returning to the county government office, the county captain immediately went to the county magistrate to discuss the matter. After all, it was his hometown and his fellow villagers, and he could not leave it alone.
If there is no solution here in Guobei County, he plans to go to Jinhua City to seek help.
Unfortunately, Huang Shen happened to be there. After hearing about this, he said that there happened to be two experts in the family, and maybe they could do something about it.
The county captain was overjoyed after hearing this. The next day, early in the morning, the county captain led a group of detectives to the village.
The difference was that this time there were two other people with them. They were riding horses and looked to be in their thirties.
One is tall, with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heavy sword behind his back. The other is of medium build, with a white face and a few strands of beard.
"Azhe, who are these two people?" Lao Hou asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Wang Zhe shook his head and signaled him to stop talking.
When he secretly looked at these two people using the "Qi Watching Technique", he saw different Qi in them.
The Qi of the tall man was thick and condensed. The Qi of ordinary people was like a wisp of white smoke, like a thread, but his Qi was like a column of smoke, a hemp rope twisted into many threads.
The Qi of the other person is also much thicker and more condensed than that of ordinary people, and it is also mixed with traces of cyan.
At the same time, there was still blood on these two people's bodies. It was not the kind of bloody disaster that appeared between their faces and eyebrows, but on their bodies, which was a sign of committing a murderous crime. The thicker the blood, the more serious the killing.
These two people killed many people, and Wang Zhe also guessed that they were the masters invited by Huang Shen.
"Those two families may have been killed by them."
