12. Besieged by goblins
Chen Ping, who was waiting outside the door, was also anxious, he was relieved when he saw Meng Heng come out, and hurriedly pulled the young man and said, "There is another big case in the yamen!" Not to mention that the people of the Criminal Prison Department have never seen such a strange case, even Lord Fu Yin can't do it for a while, we really can't think of a better way, so we can only invite you to come, this time to come to the door, and I hope Mr. Meng will forgive me. โ
Meng Heng shook his head, quickened his pace, kept up with Chen Ping's steps, and said, "It's okay, Brother Chen Ping just said it." Exactly, what happened? โ
"Someone died mysteriously." Chen Pingping said solemnly: "And the way of death is strange, the deceased was dug out of a hole in his chest, and after being verified, he died by hollowing out his heart and lungs." It's still the next ......."
The man paused strangely at this, and after a while, his throat moved, and he continued: "The problem is that a serious suspect has been arrested and imprisoned in prison, but just an hour ago, the jailer found that the man had also been hollowed out of his heart and lungs and died......
The man's voice was a little heavy.
Meng Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at the man, and paused slightly: "Although this case is urgent, can it ...... This kind of suspicious case Brother Chen Ping should go to the criminal officer to solve the case, although Meng can make the mouth speak the truth, there is no other way to face the dead. โ
Although the customer comes first, it is even more important for a professional to be able to distinguish whether the customer's request is reasonable and appropriate.
Chen Ping hurriedly spoke: "I didn't mean that. It's just a suspicion ......" Chen Ping pondered for a moment, lowered his voice, and decided to be honest: "One suspects that there is a traitor in the prison, and this person lets the murderer into the prison to kill people, so I also want to ask Mr. to find an opportunity to interrogate all the people in the prison and ask about the traitor; The second ...... The modus operandi of this case is so ruthless and strange that it is the only time Chen has seen it in his life, so I have to suspect that it is ......"
"Demonic?" Meng Heng narrowed his eyes and continued.
This time and space is indeed different, the demons and monsters do not live in legends and stories, but actually exist in reality, although most people do not have the opportunity to see these monsters with their own eyes like Meng Heng, but the strange power and chaos rumored from time to time are enough to make some people believe that goblins are real and not far from humans.
Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he sighed: "Mr. Meng is really as rumored to be, he is a master who is not born in the world!" Please also ask my husband to follow me to the yamen to inspect and find out the culprit! โ
Meng Heng was not infected by Chen Ping's excitement at all, he glanced at Chen Ping, and said lightly: "Let's go." โ
But there was a trace of resentment in my heart for no reason. Fairies or something, in the end, are more difficult to deal with than people, and this time they should charge a few hundred taels of silver.
"Oh, and don't call 'sir' or 'sir', isn't it awkward to call someone โกโก years younger than you like that?" Meng Heng slanted the corners of his mouth: "If you don't mind, call me 'Meng Heng' or 'Doctor Meng', otherwise 'Little Brother Meng' can also be." โ
Although his real age may not be younger than Chen Ping, Chen Ping looks like he is only twenty-five or sixteen, but now he is pretending to be seniority with a tender face, and he is really a little unable to pull his face.
Chen Ping responded briskly, pulling Meng Heng's pace a little faster.

Meng Heng looked at the dead-miserable-desperate people in the prison-room, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
He felt a heavy demonic aura.
Moreover, this demonic aura mixed with the smell of blood-blood-smell also carried an aura that made him feel familiar.
Meng Heng's face became solemn.
Since he traveled to this time and space, he has been able to feel the breath of the goblins from time to time, encounter goblins, and collide with goblins, and especially after that strange pain hits, his feelings of goblin aura are even more keen.
He was now certain that the goblin who had killed the man must have been something he had encountered, or that the thing was now in the vicinity of the cell and had not left.
He raced through his mind.
"Little Brother Meng, what do you think?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Chen Ping couldn't help but ask out loud.
Meng Heng pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "It's the same as you guessed, the second one." โ
"That'...... What should I do? Chen Ping's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Meng Heng was about to answer, when he suddenly felt that the breath changed, his face changed, and he whispered "Follow me" and ran out of the cell, following the breath.
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him.
However, as soon as he left the prison, he was obscured by a fog, and when he looked around, he found that the entrance of the prison had been surrounded by a sea of fog, and the figure of the young man had already disappeared into this sea of fog, and he was nowhere to be found.
He was shocked and suspicious, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his back was also wet with sweat, and he stood in place for a long time, and finally retreated back to the cell stiffly, and it took a long time for the fog to disappear.
But after all, the boy didn't know where he went, could it be that he would be given by the goblin......
Chen Ping didn't dare to think about it, he wiped the sweat on his head, and staggered back to the yamen. He had to wait in the yamen, no matter whether the boy was alive or dead, he had to know it as soon as possible.

said that Meng Heng followed that demonic spirit all the way, and did not stop until there was a no-man's land on the outskirts of Beijing.
The demon was so vicious and vicious, he deliberately followed it to a remote place with few people before stopping, otherwise it would be a little tricky to accidentally injure others or use others as a threat.
I saw the forest in front of him, but it was the Keo Mountain where he had looked for the stone calamus, at this time the moon was on the top, the wind was getting heavier, and the leaves were rustling, adding a bit of bleak and bleak atmosphere for no reason.
Coupled with the increasingly strong demonic aura, this place is an excellent hunting ground for goblins.
Merely...... Who is the hunter and who is the prey to be slaughtered, but you can't jump to conclusions.
Meng Heng stood straight under the falling leaves, and said in a loud voice: "Since you brought me here, you don't have to hide, show up." โ
As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of shouts and roars and mournful whistles, which were endless, like the mournful sound of a death knell. There was even a gust of wind that swept up the fallen leaves.
Meng Heng looked at the goblins who suddenly appeared and squinted.
There were more than a dozen goblins in front of him, and they were gradually approaching him in an encirclement, and under the cover of the night, they all faded their white disguises, revealing their original appearances.
Cruel and greedy, vicious and ruthless.
And Meng Heng recognized at a glance the goblin who was facing him - the painted skin spirit. It was the banshee who he bumped into and was entangled with Wang Shipu, and now she had taken off her human skin and looked horrified, with a few drops of blood hanging on her green face, fangs, and teeth.
A long-standing smell of blood-blood-smell came to my nose.
It turned out that she was the one who created the unsolved case and killed the innocent "suspect" in prison.
Meng Heng rolled her gaze and looked at the monster beside her, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows playfully.
There are really a lot of acquaintances.
The lotus essence that scared Mrs. Zhao outside the family, the bewitching female fox he met when he was looking for a stone calamus, and the demons who had been "rectified" by him before were all among them.
It seems that everyone is planning to gather the strength of everyone and kill him, an old enemy, in one go?
Very good.
Meng Heng curled the corners of his lips and smiled, his expression was indifferent, and he even sat cross-legged on the ground leisurely.
The painting skin essence let out a roar from his mouth, as if he was angered by Meng Heng's actions, the two blood-red eyes were even more entangled with a strange evil aura, and the fingers of the white bone-sen-sen were also ready to attack, as if they could rush over and tear Meng Heng to pieces at any time.
The lotus essence around him on his left, the fox demon on his right, and several monsters behind him also roared, assuming a tiger's eye.
The current situation was very unfavorable to him, the demons were surrounded and scattered, and all he could see was the three monsters in front of him.
Under this kind of form, it is very unlikely that you can quickly and accurately hypnotize the demons with their eyes.
However, the more challenging the scene, the more he felt a thrill from the bottom of his heart.
The corners of the boy's mouth curled up unconsciously, and his eyes lit up amazingly. The brilliance in those eyes seemed to encompass the brilliance of the bright moon and stars, making his mediocre face seem to have lost its rough camouflage and become extremely dazzling.
Meng Heng took out a piccolo from his sleeve, and his slender fingers rubbed it secretly.
This is what he has prepared since he crossed over, a piccolo made of Xiangfei bamboo, with a wide range and a loud tail note, as a portable lullaby playing instrument, just right.
He gently glanced at the strangers with different expressions in front of him, smiled lightly, and raised the bamboo flute to his lips.
The thin lips of the beautiful shape are slightly pursed, the white and slender fingers are elegantly covered on the sound holes, and the ethereal and melodious melody is sprinkled, floating in this vast world, grabbing everyone's attention in an instant.
The faces of the demons changed.
Although this song is magnificent and melodious, somber and pleasant, but when I listen closely, I feel an inexplicable gloomy force sweeping over, covering the world, like a thick hand, tightly choking their throats. The force of that hand was so great that it even dragged all their consciousness through it, and dragged them into a fast-flowing, bottomless whirlpool.
A youkai let out a painful scream.
The Painted Skin Essence was the most powerful among the demons, and she tried her best to withstand the impact of this music, concentrating her spiritual power on her claws, and striking hard at the young man sitting on the ground with her eyes split.
Meng Heng narrowed his eyes.
I have to admit that the fact that some creatures can get a breather from this music still makes him a little unhappy.
His sword eyebrows were slanted, and the fingering of his hand changed, and the originally melodious and loud music suddenly changed in tone, and suddenly became strange and sad, as if there were rolling angry waves and boundless clouds changing and intertwining in the sky, which was shocking.
The painting skin spirit screamed miserably, and the sharp claws that were only an inch away from Meng Heng suddenly froze in place, and then retracted violently, holding his head tightly, squatting on the ground and wailing.
The rest of the monsters also cried wolf howls and wails to the heavens and the earth.
