"I'm Li Ning, I believe you have been notified and should know that I'm coming. Li Ning stepped forward, stood in front of the two guards, glanced left and right, and said lightly.

"Yes, Ning Gongzi, please come in, the fast hand knife master has been waiting inside for a long time. A doorman on the right, who looked to be in his thirties and had a bearded face, quickly nodded respectfully and immediately turned sideways.

"Master Dao?" Li Ning looked behind him in surprise.

"Ah, this man is a well-known local leader of Kuaishou. Kuaishou, on the other hand, is a department we have here dedicated to all kinds of weird cases. Qing Rong looked at him with a puzzled look and hurriedly explained.

"I see. Li Ning bowed slightly.

He thought that the queen of heaven would let him lead someone to investigate.

I didn't expect it to be like that.

It seems that the other party does not really believe in himself.

But it's also quite right.

The two weren't friends before.

Now we just have to work together.

After thinking it through in my heart.

He stepped inside.

The four men behind him also followed.

Five people rushed in.

Once inside the house.

It is a grocery store with a counter on the right and a straight and narrow hallway on the left. Although there are burning oil lamps everywhere, the room still gives people an extremely oppressive dimness, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

The sound of crying came from the end of the hallway, and it was clear that the body was not in the front, but was being carried to the back room.

Li Ning and Qing Rong glanced at each other, and the two looked at the other three people around them, and they all felt that this house was extremely depressing and strange.

Clearly more wrong than elsewhere.

Subsequently.

When five people lined up down the hallway into the depths.

A brown wooden door stood in front of him.

Li Ning stood in the first place, so he raised his right hand, grabbed the doorknob and pushed it gently, the door creaked, and it slowly opened, revealing two gray curtains, blocking most of the things inside, especially everyone's sight.

Li Ning raised his hand again and lifted the curtain in front of him, finally revealing the situation inside. It was a kitchen-like place, with a long, half-person-tall table in front of it, with a shiny surface that had apparently been eating on it all along.

Underneath the table are a few low wooden stools.

All are round.

Stand side by side like dwarves.

And to the right of the table, there is the stove.

It looks very old.

The bellows are also full of various scratches.

The entire wall turned a swarthy black.

It's a little deeper than the other side.

And to the left of the table.

Location near a small door.

There were two people standing.

One man and one woman.

and a male corpse on the ground.

The sound of the door opening disturbed the man.

He looked sideways at the door.

There was a slight hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Are you the sword master?" Li Ning lowered his head and walked in.

"Are you?" said Dao Ye looked at him with a frown.

"I'm Li Ning, the person sent by the Queen of Heaven, I think you should have been notified. Li Ning bypassed the table, came to him, and introduced himself.

"Yes, the Queen of Heaven has sent an envoy to inform me that a spirit will come to investigate, and it turns out to be you. Dao Ye nodded, his doubts finally understood, and his dissatisfied expression was slightly restrained, and he sighed: "So young." ”

"Dao Master, do you only have spirits in your eyes, but not me? Qing Rong also walked in, a little dissatisfied that he was ignored like this.

"Yes. Qingqing echoed in the back.

Subsequently.

Chu River Su Xue also entered.

It's not a spacious space.

There were seven people standing.

and a corpse.

It seems to be lively and crowded.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess, and the Queen of Heaven did not inform me that the two of you will also come. Hearing this, the sword master hurriedly made a ceremonial posture, and just nodded to Chu He and Su Xue.

"That's because we took the initiative to come and check it out, after all, we were the first people to die under the black liquid, and we were a little curious. Qingrong grinned.

"Who are these?" the weeping woman was already a little confused, it was the first time that so many outsiders had come to the house, and it seemed to be a big deal, so she stared blankly at her bloodshot eyes.

"These are all people who are investigating with me, I already know the specific situation, you can go back to your room and rest for the time being. By the way, don't continue to do business, you can't be busy alone. Dao Ye waved his hand, not wanting to explain too much, after all, the identity of these people was too high for her, unattainable.

"Good. The woman wiped the tears rolling from the corners of her eyes and nodded, then followed the small open door and walked straight into a spacious courtyard, then turned right and entered another house next to her.

"It's quite rich!" Li Ning said in surprise.

He also thought that the family was living in poverty.

But now it seems.

Someone who is able to own two houses.

How can it be poor.

"It's true that this family has two houses. This room is specially used for selling things and cooking by the way. The other room is for sleeping and resting. Dao Ye nodded and explained.

"Then what is the situation, how is the corpse examined?" Qingrong immediately asked.

"The corpse died a little abnormally, a good living person, and suddenly died like this. Moreover, the expression after death is also a little strange. Hearing this, Dao Ye's face was a little ugly, and he looked at the few people in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Lift the shroud and take a look. Li Ning commanded.

"Are you sure you want to see it?" the Dao Master asked hesitantly.

"Nonsense, they're all here, how can they not even look at the corpse. Don't ink, let's see how he died. Qingrong urged impatiently.

"Why don't Her Royal Highness the Princess and this young lady avoid it, after all, they are dead people, and they may scare the two of them!" said after thinking about it.

"No, I'm a doctor, and I've seen a lot of dead people since I was a child, so there's no need to worry about anything, don't worry. Su Xue shook her head.

"Me too. Qingqing hurriedly agreed.

"Well, in that case, don't be scared in a minute. When the knife master heard this, he gritted his teeth, but he no longer hesitated, squatted down, grabbed a corner of the shroud, and pulled it back little by little.

Not for a while.

The face of a pale man appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This—" Li Ning frowned.

"Shhh

Chu He furrowed his brows.

Su Xue and Qingqing couldn't bear to look at each other.

"See, a big living person with a strong body is like being scared to death!"

"Death is not blind. Li Ning raised his eyebrows.

This man.

His face turned pale.

The eyes are huge.

With a frightened expression maintained until after death.

Look.

It's like suddenly seeing something terrible.

And then I was scared to death.

Even dead and blind.

It gives people a feeling of why you are in front of me, why you are, this feeling. And it's particularly intense and impressive.

"That's right, just don't blink your eyes. Judging by my years of experience, this deceased person should have seen something incredible before he died, and even knew something about it, so he would still maintain such an expression after being scared to death. Dao Ye nodded.

"What did his wife say?" asked Li Ning.

His wife said that she was cleaning in the back, and suddenly she heard the sound of something falling to the ground in front of her, and hurriedly went to check, and found that her husband had fallen to the ground and died. Dao Ye replied.

"What do you think?" asked Li Ning curiously.

"I guess there are only two possibilities. Dao Ye thought about it and stood up.

"Which two?" Qingrong asked eagerly.

Everyone also looked at him curiously.

Dao Ye said slowly: "This first is that there is chaos outside, someone breaks in, and this person seems to know the deceased, and then there is an argument, so he dies violently. ”

"It's very unlikely, and if you were scared by a living person, you wouldn't have died with this expression. Let's talk about the second one. Li Ning shook his head.

Although the living are more scary.

But there was clearly no dispute.

It's at the first time of the encounter.

Died violently.

Scared to death alive.

"Second, there is a paranormal event, and an evil spirit appears. And this evil spirit is very likely to know the deceased, or even die in his hands, so it is difficult for the deceased to accept it and is directly scared to death. Dao Ye said immediately.

This is the second kind.

Let Li Ning and the others ponder for a long time.

all feel closer to the truth.

"I think you should have asked his wife, did you have any results?" Li Ning asked as he glanced at the courtyard outside the small door.

"I asked, I didn't know, that is, I didn't know anything. True or not, in short, the direction of our investigation must change. Dao Ye nodded, and then said helplessly.

In other words, it is very likely that this woman is hiding something. Otherwise, you can just take it back for interrogation. Tortured a few times, it will definitely be spoken. Qingrong said fiercely.

"No, at least she didn't make a mistake, and it was somewhat unreasonable for us to bring people back directly. This will give other people ideas and will also attract more attention. Dao Ye shook his head and decisively refused.

"What then?" Qingrong said in surprise.

"Start the investigation with the people close to the deceased, especially who they have been in contact with recently. Since you open a grocery store, you will definitely have a lot of contacts, so you may have some clues that we can find. Li Ning said.

"yes, that's what I thought. is worthy of being sent by the Queen of Heaven, and it is really not simple. After hearing this, Dao Ye showed an appreciative expression, and the last bit of doubt and dissatisfaction disappeared completely.

"You're welcome. Li Ning smiled.

"Uh-" Qingrong was stunned.

"But now we have one of the biggest troubles in front of us. Dao Ye then said in distress.

"What's the trouble?" Qingqing hurriedly asked.

"It should be this darkness, right? In such an environment, your investigation will fall into a very slow process!" Li Ning understood.

"That's right, it's chaos right now, and a lot of people probably won't be in their rooms. Also, all kinds of things happen one after another, so my investigation is interrupted by all kinds of questions. Dao Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I have a solution. Li Ning said suddenly.

"Huh?" Dao Ye was stunned.
