Chapter 12: The Great Demon's Fangs
If it weren't for the repaired eyes and arms, Liang Guo might have persuaded himself to deny the existence of that person, thinking that it was just a big dream of his own Spring and Autumn Festival - such a thing, after all, is too fantastical for normal people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the regrown whole and flexible limbs were living proof of something he didn't want to believe, the man named Griffith, the man with whom he had made a pact and a deal, who was graceful but full of malice. One can't help but speculate about its identity, whether it is a human, a ghost or a demon.
The man named Liang Guo thought about repaying the debt, but his arm was treated anyway, so he simply walked away. However, the other party's mystery and the means beyond common sense when treating his arms and eyes made Liang Guo suppress this psychology fiercely. He had heard in novels and plays that people who had made a contract with the devil would have a bleak end if they did not fulfill their obligations.
This man used to be the No. 3 general under the Dog King Zhang Kun, but because he was besieged during a mission, the Dog King abandoned Liang and slashed him, forcing him to break off and attract pursuers.
Because of this incident, Liang Guo fell into the depths of the universe, and those subordinates who had followed Liang Guo desperately stopped the pursuing soldiers and fought for a glimmer of life for Liang Guo. Only then did Liang Guo fall into Shazhen and be rescued.
During the years of living in Shazhen, Liang Guo was not comfortable, he was used to the dignity and fine clothes and food under the Dog King, and he often remembered the scolding of Fang Xuan and the sorrow of those brothers who died in battle in order to cover his escape on the night of the incident.
But now that Liang Guo's physical disability has been cured, many things have to be done. But before that, the three gang leaders under the former Dog Throne touched the brass dagger, and looked up in a direction with a complicated and bloodthirsty expression.
"Wang's ......"
……
It is not necessary to say that Wang Tuntun has offended Griffith, and Griffith is not a calculating person.
Wang Tuntun plotted to get the Ji family's old mansion, and even touched Griffith's head and said cruel words, beating him and kicking him, all of which were small things, and he didn't care. Griffith's trouble with Wang Tuntun was really because of the fruit-like delicious fragrance emanating from the other party's soul, and the special taste from the soul from the inside out made the big demon who had always been picky about food and suppressed hunger couldn't help but bow slightly.
Well, the taste of apple pie......
Take a deep breath hard and the finish is sweet. The big, round-headed boy with a bandage opens his teeth and claws, but he tries to adjust his expression to make himself look fierce:
"Griffith, the Great Demon, is about to open his fangs!"
……
Since moving to Kitazuishibashi, Kira, Jikei, and Griffith's lives have been relatively stable. Wang Tuntun and the Ji family met twice on the road, and Kira and Griffith were severely insulted and reprimanded, so they walked separately with disgust.
Although Kira was humiliated by the Wang family, and even slapped in the mouth, his dignity was persecuted. But there are more realistic problems in front of them, they are now hungry and cold, and they are short of food and clothing, and the eldest son of the Ji family did not feel sad for the first time. In fact, he has been worrying about his career plan recently, after all, he only has Bei Yuan in his early twenties in his hand, and he can't sit back and eat.
And when Wang Tuntun 'forcibly occupied' the Kira Wanshi House, he once asked people to throw out the 'garbage' in the Wanshi House. The so-called garbage that was thrown out by the Wang family was the furniture and daily necessities of the Kira family. Mr. Ji Liang, the eldest son of the Ji family, is a real and shameless person, Wang Tuntun told him with a disgusted look at the place where the 'garbage' was thrown, and he ran over to pick up the leak with the next foot.
Don't look at the fact that the sun is still shining, in fact, Shazhen is about two months away from autumn. The head of the Kira family, who knew the spirit of being prepared for danger in times of peace, originally estimated that he would have to spend some shell yuan to buy a few quilts to keep out the cold, and he was still distressed about shell yuan. The drowsiness met the pillow, and later picked up the Wang family's throw-out, which was originally their belongings. Kira nodded with satisfaction, thinking that some of the old clothes and broken quilts could save a lot.
The so-called career planning, career planning, life planning, future planning, and the most important thing is to plan yourself and your family not to go hungry. Kira looked at the one or twenty shell dollars lying quietly in the palm of his dirty palm, and sighed silently.
That's obviously not enough for the whole winter......
In fact, the new neighbors who live under the only arch bridge of the Shazhen flood discharge give Kira inspiration. These guys don't have any skills, but they don't work, they can be fed and clothed by lying on the ground begging for food, which can be called a typical example of getting something for nothing.
And it's not impossible to be a beggar, Kira thinks that you don't have to work to be a beggar, eat and drink for nothing, if you let go of your self-esteem, on the one hand, you are really at ease. However, Lord Kira, who has always been shrewd and has a ghostly head, thought about it again, and his sister Jiqing has not yet married, which is a bit difficult to do, because surely no one would want to marry a mediocre-looking beggar, even if there is a beggar brother-in-law alone, it can bring a lot of trouble to Jikei's marriage. So after thinking about it, I finally felt that this beggar profession would hold my family back......
Besides, beggars can't save money. Their Ji family is not the only one whose sister Jiqing wants to marry......
The eldest brother of the Ji family glanced behind him gloomily, and sure enough, he saw the round-headed Ji Aman looking at the sky with his fingers in a daze, he covered his face and thought that this young man who had been clanging behind his ass for more than ten years was not young, and he was full of grief and indignation, and suddenly yelled: "You are going to get married too, Lao Tzu's gift money, and you have to struggle for a few more years......"
Beggars can't do it, and Kira wonders if he can do some serious small business. After thinking about it, he finally decided to go back to his old job and continue to play his 'Kira Manshiya' signboard.
The ancestral house Kira Wanshiya was occupied by the Wang family, and the store was gone, so naturally no one went to the store to entrust the task. However, Kira did not come to the mountain, so I used a small bamboo pole to pick up a small flag with a signboard that read 'Kira Manshiya' and shouted from house to house.
Because the place of Shazhen is not particularly large, and Kira has been running the Wanshiya for some years, many people have entrusted trivial things in the Jijia store, and the gimmick of Griffith, a boy in the egg, made Kira famous for a certain period of time, so when Kira shouted for more than an hour and walked nearly two kilometers, he really received some commissions.
After the breakdown of the Ji family, in addition to the eldest son Jiliang, the elder sister Jiqing is also working hard to maintain the normal operation of the family. Because of the ingenuity of women, Ji Qing committed himself to a small handicraft workshop that produced simple styles of clothing for men and women. I heard that this workshop is quite famous in Shazhen, and it belongs to people outside the mountain to raise funds to open a store. During the peak season, the commodity market will be exported to the outside of the town, and Jiqing has asked many people to work here.
Because it is close to autumn, the products inside the small workshop have begun to transition from summer clothes to autumn clothes. Jiqing was assigned to sew the side seams on both sides of the women's long skirt, which was part of the rough assembly line of the workshop.
Therefore, the only idle person in the Ji family is Griffiths. This round-headed boy sleepwalks around like a gray bandage all day long, casually pestle, and a pestle is a whole day. He seems to have identified himself as a sick person, and he is outrageously lazy and lazy.
However, those who know Griffith know that this kid has a bad head, and he has recently received another hard blow to the back of the head, which is estimated to have made his overall IQ fall back to the Stone Age, so what he did has gained a lot of understanding and sympathy.
In addition to the private affairs of the Ji family's wealth, rice, oil and salt, a major incident happened in Shazhen recently, the local noble gentry Wang Mian's descendant He was kidnapped on the way home! And the body was found shortly after. She was originally a servant of the Wang family's flowers and plants, but because of her outstanding cooking skills, she was promoted to become the chef of the Wang family's backyard.
In the middle of the town there is a river called the Decadent Water, which runs through the town from east to west, and most of the women in the town use the water from this river to wash and cook. At the end of the summer, near the end of the flood season, Ho's body was recovered from the river.
She was killed and thrown into the river and floated down the river. Because he was immersed in the water for too long, he drowned halfway. Therefore, the place where the body was recovered was not the scene of the dumping of the body, let alone the scene of the murder.
The next person was killed, and the head of the Wang family, who ran a jewelry store, expressed his condolences to the person concerned and expressed strong indignation at the murderer, on the day of He's disappearance, he actually did not send someone to search, and the next person who went home after work was like an office worker who got off work, and the company leaders didn't care much about your life or death.
However, in this very loose social structure, the relationship between the head of the house and the servant was not that of a slave owner and a slave, but more closely to a relationship of employment. Therefore, in order to maintain the cohesion of the Wang family, and for the good reputation of the Wang family, the Wang family still has to do the work of face.
Such a bad deed as murder shocked even the people of the Criminal Law Department (equivalent to the Earth Police). The Wang family is a huge rich man in Shazhen, and before its decline, it can be regarded as the kind of family with hands and eyes. Therefore, for all the things that are related to the Wang family, the priority of the files of the Criminal Justice Department in Shazhen, which is one acre and three points of land, is higher.
However, how much ability can a superintendent in a small township have, and knowing how to let a dog sniff clothes and arrest people is considered a complete and complete professional skill.
He Shi's body was placed in the water for I don't know how many days, the river washed away most of the traces of the crime, the woman's body was purulent and stinky, the police dog squatted next to the corpse and stuck out its tongue, looking left and right at the person, whimpering helplessly. As a result, the case entered a bottleneck.
The bustle of the dead is of course indispensable. Griffith was dragged by the other party and trotted all the way, cutting through the crowd and approaching where the body was standing.
Ji Liang, the eldest son of the Ji family, is a very curious person, and when he was young, he had to catch a fart and smell it. I remember that when Griffith was six years old, he was confused and ignorant, and he once argued with Kira about whether tears were bitter, and the other party cried on the spot, stretched out his little tongue and licked Griffith's big flower face, and then described the bitterness and delicacy in Griffith's tears to Griffith.
Inside the yellow-black horizontal bar of the besieging square, a middle-aged man in a dark gray robe was bowing his head and teasing the corpse. He wore transparent film gloves on his palms, and his body was torn between them.
This person is Dr. Yang from Shazhen, who does not belong to the police echelon, but because of his superb medical skills and deep knowledge of human anatomy, he is often invited by the Criminal Justice Department to assist in handling cases.
Dr. Yang rummaged over the corpse with his palms, wearing a thin mask of light blue, and kept reporting the autopsy data. The data was silently recorded by a young superintendent standing nearby. The doctor surnamed Yang is careful and experienced, and the fine crumbs and hair are sealed with knives and tweezers, making people feel extraordinarily professional.
After fifteen minutes of doing this, Kira's emotions were aroused, and he was inexplicably excited and heavy and held his breath and watched carefully, until Dr. Yang stood up with a frown, and he dared to gasp a little louder.
"Judging by the method of killing and the means of disposing of the body, the murderer was a repeat offender...... At least the ...... who have killed people before," Dr. Yang, dressed in a gray robe, removed his gloves and threw them on a small silver platter next to the corpse.
"This wound cut from the chest to the neck, although it is not large, but it cuts the trachea, cutting off the possibility of people calling for help......
The doctor's voice surnamed Yang was subdued, and he spoke slowly: "You see that there are bruises here and here, the color is dull, obviously not caused by the deceased before his death......"
Ji Liang was in awe, as Dr. Yang spoke, and sniffled excitedly from time to time, the murderer's killing methods were revealed little by little by the doctor, which made the prisoner even more cloudy.
It's exciting......
When Kira was sighing, the doctor surnamed Yang slapped his palm and continued, "The wound on the victim's neck is getting deeper from right to left, and the excessively natural roundness of the force line is not ordinary...... The murderer, the murderer should be a left-handed man without a doubt! ’
Hearing this, the round-headed boy with dull eyes was pushed by Kira, who was excited and red-faced, raised his head slightly, and habitually smiled honestly.
But no one noticed that when the body of the servant of the Wang family was found, the position of the young man with a simple head surrounded his pupils in the depths of his dark eyes, and a circle of silver gradually emerged. Griffith's gaze looked into the distance through the silver circle. In the cold of the town in late autumn, his gaze seemed to pass through time and space, straight into the void. At the same time, the inferences and whispers that lingered in his ears receded like a tidal wave, and he saw a silver thread running across the corpse, across the river, and in the direction of the stone bridge......
Oh, it's Liang Guo.
What a good boy.
ps: Regarding the setting of the complex world view and the ability and limitations of the protagonist's seemingly bug, because I don't want to talk too much at the beginning, so as not to be boring, disturbing everyone's reading freshness, as the reading deepens, it will gradually take shape and complete, you don't have to have doubts, you will understand everything when you read it.
