Seventy-two Changes of the Evil Spirits

Li Changan walked around the house before and after.

When I return to the courtyard.

Yu Mei had already scraped out all the corpses in the soil.

There are 14 men, women, children, old and young, poor, low and rich, and the whole family lined up neatly under the eaves.

She looked through the body carefully, and asked without looking back:

"How? What did your nose say?"

As if already aware of the strangeness of Taoist nose.

However, Li Changan hadn't deliberately concealed it, so he didn't care about it, and only frankly told his own discovery.

"My nose tells me that there is a trace of muddy water mixed with evil spirits, hitting the yard to the back door, and finally sinking into the waterway behind the house."

"I speculate that this monster sneaked into the square through the waterway and broke into this house through the back door."

He pointed to a corpse that was still intact.

"I don't know why, this family gathered in the main hall most of the night, but was swept away by the monster."

Yu Mei nodded and greeted Li Changan over.

Then, in front of the Taoist priest, one of the female corpses was searched.

Li Changan had some impressions of this corpse, that he was the owner of the hand who first discovered it.

She is probably sixteen or seventeen years old. Even if she is in the mud, it is difficult to hide her fair complexion and graceful appearance. She is also a spoiled lady.

However, at this moment...Yu Brow pressed the face of the female corpse, and the once full and elastic cheeks immediately dented in a pit, showing a pale and gray color; she opened the female corpse's eyelids again, and her eyes were squishy in the past. Already dull and muddy, the black-eyed Maoyue collapsed, fouling the whites of her eyes; she violently scratched the cloud-like temples again, and the strands of hair immediately curled up like winter weeds entangled.

"What can you see?"

Yu Mei suddenly spoke.

"The eyes are scattered, the complexion is blue and white, and the hair is withered. It should have been eaten up and died."

Li Chang'an Fang frowned in response, and Yu Mei leaned forward and used a bamboo stick to penetrate the female corpse's ear hole, scraping out some saprophytic mud.

"now what?"

The Taoist rolled his eyes silently. If you find something, it's like a jiu-liu detective drama. You turn around and ask a hammer. Which eye do you see that Taoist Li has the ability to investigate cases? ? !

He could see it. Although Yu Mei asked his helper for help, secretly it was quite provocative.

I don't know if it was the night before, chasing her and cutting down a few streets, feeling uneasy. Or, today, I was exposed to the miasma, and I deliberately demonstrated to save some place.

But, the Taoist priest didn't bother to guess, Quandang didn't find it, and took the conversation.

"Cannibal blood is usually a means of ghosts, but there are also many monsters, which are not enough to rely on. But this monster can drive dirt..."

He leaned on the bamboo stick and smelled it, and a rancid smell poured into his nose.

"And leaving this sludge on the dead, it must be the kind of monster whose birth or habitation is related to silt. As far as I know, the marsh monster, the mudman and even the earthworms that have become monsters are all compatible."

Li Changan rubbed the stubble on his chin, thinking about the clues he found before and after.

"This monster can **** blood, has the ability to drive soil, is accompanied by saprosy, and buried the dead in the mud. I just checked, there are mud traces where it passed. And when it launched an attack in the court , There is the sound of'嗾嗾'......"

Li Changan's words suddenly stagnated.

Chong Yu brow grinned.

"I see!"

He took out a "Chonglong Jade Rune" and offered sacrifices to the God of Nose.

He lay on the ground and sniffed carefully, and finally, he reached the corpse under the eaves.

The corpse had a belly as big as a basket. It was a pregnant woman, or rather, it looked like a pregnant woman.

The Taoist priest drew his sword in his hand, said "convict", and went straight to cut his belly.

In common sense, the **** scene did not happen.

There is no blood, no dead babies, and even no internal organs.

In the empty abdominal cavity, there was only one giant monster fish with red spots.

He was already shaken by Yumei's Yin thunder and died in the abdomen of the corpse.

The Taoist picked it out with the tip of the sword.

"Ghost."

...

You ghost.

Although there is a "ghost" in the name, it is not a ghost, but a monster with a fish-like spirit.

"Recording Yizhi" contains:

In Yuzhang County, there is a special kind of fish that looks like a mullet with a red-spotted pattern and lives in sludge ponds all year round. If it is not cleaned up, the school of fish will gradually grow, reaching hundreds of thousands, and it will be easy to give birth to a kind of monster called ‘Gui’.

The ghost can make the soil around the sludge pond doubly fertile. But if you want to farm, you must make offerings to the ghosts. Even so, the offerings demanded by the monsters will continue to increase year after year, until the output of the fields is not as abundant as the offerings. If you abandon the ground, or even plow without telling it at first, you will die silently at home.

When Li Chang'an read this, he thought it was made up by some ancestor who secretly satirized a certain landlord's wealth in Yuzhang. But whether it is true or false, monsters and ghosts, Chung Tai half escaped from human suffering anyway.

All in all, this monster is greedy and can walk on land at night. But wherever you go, there will be mud trails; wherever you go, you can hear the sound of "swimming".

...

Revealed the true face of the murderer.

Li Changan was not happy.

People are dead, monsters are also killed, and the corpse has relatives and friends.

There is nothing to say about this matter.

Compared with the corpse in front of him, he is more concerned about the demon change in Yu Mei's mouth and the culprit behind the scenes.

Li Changan didn't completely believe the other party, but so far, only the explanation from Yu Mei's mouth is the most reasonable.

So, he has a stomach question ready to ask.

But without waiting to speak, a series of noises were heard outside, and then someone knocked the door.

"Yamen handle the case and open the door quickly."

The catchers were long overdue again.

Li Changan looked at Yu Mei in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, half of his figure disappeared, and the Sri Lankan had already escaped.

…………

"Crunch."

The door opened again.

A gang of government officials outside was holding fire, and their expressions were tense.

In some accidents, the leader was not Xing Catcher, but an unfamiliar Catcher. However, on second thought, Lao Xing was still seriously injured in bed and recuperating. Naturally, the "power" of the head-catcher in Xiaoshui County could only be delegated to others.

Li Changan was calm when he opened the door, but the catcher who knocked on the door was taken aback.

"You... Li Daochang? Why are you here."

"Monsters harm people, I'll kill demons by myself, how strange is it?"

"But... but where is this owner?"

"died."

"How many?"

"Full door."

With that, the Taoist priest greeted the gang to come in casually.

"The corpse is in the yard, you can tell at a glance."

But after speaking, there was no movement outside for a long time. The Taoist turned his head and looked at him. Each of his faces was full of cringe, and no one dared to step into the door.

until.

"What are you afraid of?"

A voice sounded from behind the team.

Orr, a young face pushed the crowd away.

No one else, but Bo Tzuyu. To say that this young catcher didn't deal with Li Changan before, but after the Taoist rescued Xing catcher, his attitude took a big turn.

No, when I entered the door, I bowed to the Taoist priest first, and then cursed at the gang of yamen:

"Since the Daoist Chief is here, the monster must have been punishable, and the door is safe, why are you still in such a panic, it is only a ridicule!"

After speaking, angrily went to the courtyard.

A group of government officials were left looking at each other, and finally, under the supervision of the leader, they followed in (harmoniously).

A gang of servants entered the yard.

First, I was surprised when I saw the muddy mud in the garden; I was surprised when I saw a group of corpses. Finally, the Taoist priest pointed out that the big fish was the monster body, and it was almost lost in spirit.

The Taoist priest didn't want to look at their ugly attitudes, and after a few words, he left the ending matter.

But before going out, Bo Tzuyu called him.

"Daoist."

"What's the matter?"

The young catcher frowned.

"Something is wrong."

"where?"

"The dead...fewer."

He quickly explained.

"My uncle took me to investigate a theft case in this house. I know that the owner's surname is Zhou, a well-known poetry heir in the city, and there is a scholar named Zhou Huai in the family who has quite a literary name in the neighborhood. I just recognized it. After the fourteen corpses, the Zhou family, father and son, and a few relatives were not among them."

This is a bit strange.

The Taoist stopped his footsteps, pulled Bo Ziyu over, and asked carefully.

His suspicions are indeed valid.

If Zhou's father and son were to go out to visit friends or go to a banquet, and thus escaped. But which family visits friends, the father takes his daughter, and the son takes his concubine?

To put it another way, Zhou and his son were also at home at the time and were also attacked. The reason why they were not among the fourteen corpses... Either they escaped by chance and are now hiding somewhere; or they were caught by the monster, but moved elsewhere.

But the possibility is unlikely.

"Is..." Bo Ziyu said hesitantly, "There is another monster."

Taoist thoughts turned sharply.

It is true that when he wandered around the house, he only smelled the scent of "Gugui", so he didn't think about it. But who said there is only one ghost?

Couldn't it be that the two appeared together. After the murder, one stayed in Zhou's house, while the other took away the Zhou family and the others, and enjoyed it elsewhere?

Li Changan held the hilt of the sword and turned back to the court.

The previous words are full.

The matter is not over yet!
