Ling Yue, who was engrossed, could withstand this sudden movement, and the whole person turned his head in shock, only to see that it was Huang Wuye with two followers coming behind him and looking in his direction.

Ling Yue hurriedly exhaled, suppressed the bit of thief-like weakness, stood up straight and said hello to the fifth master, but when he turned around, Boss Zhu was gone.

"Eh, what are you looking at, like a thief? Seeing that he ignored him, Huang Wuye asked again with a curious face.

As soon as Ling Yue came to his senses, he couldn't help but sneer, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and had the idea of entering Zhang's Mansion - if this Fifth Master Huang really had a background, it would be better to ask him for help...

"Fifth master, did you see the courtyard where the officers and soldiers guarded the door, that was a rich man in our Qiuling City, surnamed Zhang, this Zhang Mansion was destroyed overnight last night... The child's grandmother was originally the cook of this Zhang Mansion, but she was sent home a few days ago because she made a mistake. But early this morning, the city division arrested her, saying that she was a suspect... The old lady was always very kind to me, and I... She's in her seventies, how can she stand this injustice, we want to go in and see, but... Now even the master is guarding the door..." The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and in the end he was still at a loss with some grievances, and after speaking, he came to the fifth master and lowered his voice: "Do you say that this will have something to do with the demon..."

Huang Wuye looked at Ling Yue's helpless appearance, and the chivalrous feeling in his heart was hooked again, maybe he had tied up someone by mistake and always owed something in his heart, not to mention that this case was bizarre, he could quietly destroy the whole mansion overnight, but it might really be related to the demon... Thinking about this, he straightened his chest and squinted his eyes and walked towards the master book, saying as he walked, "Go, take a look." ”

This Qin master is a native of this Qiuling City, thirty and five, he is an aspiring middle-aged man with goals and dreams, he has been with Lian Daren for more than eight years, and he is very conscientious and hardworking, so he looks forward to the day when Lian Daren can recommend himself to the top, so that his career can go to the next level.

It is also this person who is smart and willing to work weekdays, and although he has developed a pair of discerning eyes, he still has some impressions of the young man who fell to his knees in the hall just now. As soon as he saw that there was that child among the few people who came over, he probably knew why they were here, and without waiting for Ling Yue and them to speak, he said expressionlessly: "You guys go back, there is no place for you to stir up the case in the Chengsi Mansion." ”

Sure enough, what did you say, this Qin master really wouldn't let them in.

Seeing this, Huang Wuye didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a wooden card from his arms: "We are from the Heavenly Law, I heard these two brothers talk about the general situation of the case, we think that this case is eighty percent related to the demon, you don't stop me, we will leave after the investigation." ”

Ling Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, this Huang Wuye only said yesterday that he was a demon hunter in the rivers and lakes, but how dare ordinary demon hunters rob houses and use the royal name, it turns out that this person is actually a person from the Heavenly Law Department! You must know that this Heavenly Law Department is a demon hunter organization that eats imperial food, and it can be said that it is the master of ten thousand people under one person, and he only listens to His Majesty's orders on weekdays, and the rumors of the Heavenly Law in the rivers and lakes cannot be stopped wherever he goes.

Master Qin looked down at the waist card that Huang Wuye had taken over, the palm-sized golden silk nanmu wooden card was carved with a big French character, and it was painted with red lacquer. If that's the case, I'll have to let them in, but it's a bit of a hindrance...

Seeing that this Qin master thought for a while, he raised his hand and said, "Fifth Master, please do it." Then he turned his head and whispered a few words to the official beside him, and the official turned and ran into the distance.

Ling Yue didn't know what kind of medicine this person bought in his gourd, only that he knew that he could finally enter this mansion to investigate the case, so he breathed a sigh of relief on the side, and pulled Changying into the courtyard.

This Zhangfu is a regular mouth-shaped square courtyard, more than three times larger than the courtyard of Grandma Shi, a stone slab house on each side, the house in the north is about five zhang long and three zhang wide, which is where the old man and his wife live on weekdays; the east side is the residence of the heirs of Zhang's house; the west side is the thatched toilet and stove room, which is more than one zhang higher than several other houses; the south side is the residence of the little maid and the maid, the door is open in the southeast corner, and the feng shui is very good to sit north and face south.

The corpses with bloody holes before were now placed on the straw mat on the west side of the courtyard in a regular manner, the blood on the ground was half dry, and there were still a few bloody footprints and traces of dragging, and the scene was still a little terrifying. Seeing this, Changying's little face instantly turned a few degrees whiter, and he couldn't help but clench the corners of Ling Yue's clothes.

Huang Wuye was also used to seeing big scenes, without the slightest discomfort, he concentrated on bowing his head to study the corpse, and only listened to him say slowly: "Tsk, these people have been taken out of their hearts and lungs... The murderer's method is fast and ruthless, and the death is really neat..."

Turning his head to Ling Yue's confused eyes, he explained: "Look, these seven or eight people who died with their eyes closed in their inner linings and a peaceful face are the masters of this mansion, this death looks like he was attacked in a dream, if this murderer's method is not happy, the first few who were attacked will call for help, and it is impossible for them all to die like this." Besides, you see that these little guys have hideous faces one by one, and although they are all in a state of consciousness when they die, if these people see or hear the murderer's murder, can they still not run out of the courtyard and wait for him to kill, how big is this courtyard, and the good guys and fifteen people are all obediently waiting in the courtyard to die. As he spoke, he hooked the corners of his mouth: "What kind of sacredness did you master Zhang provoke, such a powerful master is rare, unless..."

Ling Yue glanced at him suspiciously, only to hear Huang Wuye say, "Unless this is a demon technique... Some big demons can really kill everyone in one move..."

Ling Yue was shocked, could it be that his mouth had been opened, this matter was really related to the demon?!

Huang Wuye turned his head to Gu Da and said, "Give me that demon appraisal plate." ”

Seeing that Gu Da hurriedly took off something hanging from his waist and handed it to Huang Wuye, Ling Yue looked at it fixedly, isn't this the compass that this person kidnapped himself and poked at him. This compass is like a round cake, the size of a golden palm, there is a dial in the plate, and a big demon character is engraved in the middle of the dial, and the four scales of the south, east, west and northwest are marked on the side.

"This thing...?" Ling Yue watched Huang Wuye take this demon appraisal plate, rubbed his hands, and a round cake became two, this thing was actually divided into layers, and the lower layer was a transparent round glass.

"This thing is a demon appraisal plate, the upper dial can distinguish monsters, those with high spells can also use it to identify the direction of the demon, if there is a demon around, the pointer will turn around, this lower layer, is a demon discernment..."Huang Wuye explained to Ling Yue while holding this demon disc and drawing around the wound of the corpse: "It's been too long, I can't see it." ”

Seeing that Ling Yue was still confused, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, why don't you know anything about you when you stay in the underground demon arena for so long. Although he looked impatient, he still explained to Ling Yue: "Demon magic has traces, different demons, different traces of demon magic are different, this mirror is a thing that can distinguish the traces of demon magic, but it, the traces of demon magic will dissipate, the more powerful the demon, the faster the traces will dissipate, just like this, now you can't see it with this demon plate, so you can't be sure if it was made by a demon." ”

Before Ling Yue could finish accepting this new thing, everyone suddenly heard a voice from behind them, "Master Qin!" The voice was shrill, and the three words floated to Zhang's mansion, so uncomfortable that Huang Wuye subconsciously shuddered, and when he turned around, a down-and-out man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, shrugging his shoulders and chest, limped into the small courtyard of Zhang's mansion.

When Ling Yue saw the person coming, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, this person was the demon hunter of Qiu Ling City, surnamed Yuan. Speaking of this Master Yuan, everyone in this Qiuling City knows it, and it is not that he is so clever in spells, but that there is only one demon hunter in this Qiuling City. As mentioned earlier, this Qiuling City is located in the middle of nowhere, and no demon hunter is willing to come over, let alone stay and settle here, but this Master Yuan is an exception. And the people of the city, because he knew some magic, turned a blind eye and went with him. This man slumped on the street corner on weekdays, and his clothes were torn through several holes, covering his body like a rag bag. Ling Yue had always avoided him, in his opinion, this person was a man called Hanako under the banner of a demon hunter!

"Fifth Master Huang, this is Master Yuan, our demon hunter in Qiuling City, I just heard from you that this case is related to demons, so I called him here on my own initiative. Master Qin introduced these two people: "Master Yuan, this is Huang Wuye from the capital." ”

Huang Wuye looked at each other up and down for a while, and he didn't like this person's behavior: "Yo, now anyone can really be a demon hunter, hey, your body, when you are chased by the demon behind, it is very difficult to escape..."

"Eh, you are a man who speaks! Mao hasn't grown up yet, and I'm pretending to be an uncle!" "Master Yuan's magic is actually not very skillful, and he uses some small tricks to deceive the people of this small city on weekdays, but fortunately, there have been few demons in this Qiuling City since the war, and now Leng Buding has met this demon hunter from other places, and he can't help but be a little worried that his three-legged cat's kung fu will be exposed, so he bluffed: "What's wrong with the capital, I caught the demon when this baby hasn't been weaned! Look at my injured leg, if it weren't for my high mana, I guess I wouldn't be able to come back." ”

"Yo, this is still not fast, if you want to run faster, you can still be lame like this bear?"

Ling Yue didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, and seeing that there was nothing to study on this corpse, he turned around and walked towards the main hall where Master Zhang lived. If he hadn't been so upset, the scene of Master Yuan choking Huang Wuye would have been quite funny, like a bald chicken with his neck bent and calling to the peacock with the screen open.

Huang Wuye saw that Ling Yue took Changying and turned away, and he didn't care about Master Yuan anymore, and quickly followed Ling Yue.

Master Yuan and Master Qin were noisy there: "Eh, look at this person, if you say it, I'll run, I'll say that he's a fancy guy, and there's a demon here." ”

Ling Yue rolled his eyes speechlessly, and when he saw Fifth Master Huang coming up, he continued to ask, "Fifth Master, how can this case be determined to be done by a demon?"

While talking, the two stepped into the main room where Master Zhang lived, and the things in this main room were scattered all over the place, mixed with the blood and water, which was very messy. A thin bamboo bow that should have been hanging on the wall was now broken and thrown aside, and a torn hunting map was scattered next to the bamboo bow. Two stools on the side of the wooden square table fell to the ground, and there was a lot of ash from the incense burner on them because of the blood on them. There are several half-person high square corner cabinets next to the stool, the door of the cabinet is wide open, things are scattered, and the rouge gouache and grate head oil used by those women are mixed together, and the original appearance can no longer be seen.

Huang Wuye looked around and said: "Unless the demon appraisal plate is displayed, otherwise this case will have to be investigated step by step, and it is impossible to say whether the murderer is a human or a demon." After speaking, he returned to the scene of the crime: "You see that the scene is turned over so chaotically, I feel that the murderer is looking for something..."

Ling Yue nodded on the side: "I don't know if he found it..."

"This murderer is not asking for money at first glance, the silver ticket is placed in the corner cabinet, this person obviously turned over and didn't take it, is it a robbery?"

"Grandma said before that this old man is kind... I haven't heard that anyone has made a feud with him..."Ling Yue has been staying in the demon field on weekdays, and he has never seen this old man a few times, but Huang Wuye's question made him completely confused by the second monk.

A few people walked around the room a few times, and the thoughts in their minds seemed to be as chaotic as the things on the ground, and when they saw that there was nothing new to discover, they had to turn around and go to the stove room on the west side to investigate.

As soon as he entered the door of the stove room, sure enough, things were turned into a mess, but Huang Wuye suddenly had a feeling of being pressed and depressed for some reason, and couldn't help but wonder if this house was cursed by a demon?

The fifth master looked left and right and couldn't figure it out, and was about to open his mouth to open a charm with Gu Da to ignite the test, but suddenly felt that the echo under his feet was wrong, and stomped his feet with a strange face: "How is this land empty?"

Ling Yue saw that he was puzzled, and estimated that he was a foreigner who did not know the situation, so he explained on the side: "This slate house is a three-story house, and some of our wealthy people are used to building this kind of house, with a total of three floors, the upper floor for storage, the middle floor for residents, and the lower floor for livestock..."

"Well, it's interesting, I've never seen this kind of house in the capital, let's go, go and see the lower floor." ”

Ling Yue took a few people out of the house, there was a hidden small door under the steps of the house, Ling Yue took the lead in opening the wooden fence door, a smell of animals came to his nose, Ling Yue frowned and got in, but there was not a single animal in it except for piles of straw.

"Yo, it's really delicious, why don't you see a beast here..."Although Huang Wuye poured a lot of bitter water, he didn't hesitate at all and followed Ling Yue to bend down and walk in, took a stick and swept the straw mixed with animal hair on the ground, except for this animal, he didn't feel anything strange: "What do you raise in this place? Why don't you have one, the murderer hasn't eaten for a few years, and he has to take some rations when he comes out to kill someone." ”

Ling Yue ignored Huang Wuye's interruption, and suddenly recalled his grandmother's words in the hall: "This place is where Master Zhang holds prey... I heard from my grandmother that she forgot to bolt the door when she was feeding the other day, allowing the prey to escape, and then it was empty..."

"So many brutes have all run away, and no one has noticed?"

"This..."Huang Wuye's question reminded Ling Yue, it stands to reason that the place where the prey is locked up to this mansion gate is to pass through the courtyard, and it is normal to run one or two, how can they all run away without anyone finding out...

While the two of them were talking, they heard a clangling sound on the roof of the house, and several people hurried back to the courtyard to look up, only to see a white flower falling from the sky.

Ling Yue hurriedly pulled Chang Ying behind him, and Gu Da Gu Er also protected Huang Wuye, and after the white flower fell to the ground, he suddenly let out a wail: "Eh, but you fell to my death." ”
