Muwan's tengu became the size of a child. She dragged its forelimbs, contrasting the dagger-like fangs. Naturally, these wounds are full of holes. If it is really the mouth of the dog demon, it should be more than the traces of two canine teeth.

"Now, we can only prove to the villagers that the Tan family did not die from the mouth of the youkai. But how do we explain what they died from? That is, the murder weapon. ”

Shi Wuqi put the closed fan against the corner of his lips and thought seriously.

"I still have some doubts."

Shanhai seemed to be still struggling with something, and everyone including Liang Yuejun looked at him and asked questions.

"You see, they were mortally wounded...... Especially in a woman's throat, blood is bound to splatter out. But the strange thing is that there is a river of blood in the house, and there is no splattered blood in the same height as the people. ”

Shi Wuqi nodded, thinking that he was also doubting this.

If no blood is spurted, does it mean that the murder weapon was not pulled out in the first place when it was stabbed? What's more, there are only two rooms in the room, and if you alarm one side, the people next to the pillow will inevitably react. If it is the same pair of sharp weapons, it will definitely be pulled out and used immediately, and blood will be splashed.

But no.

"The murder weapons must not be the same, and there are subtle differences in the size of those hollows." Mu Wan was still staring at the corpse.

Could it be that the murder weapon that was used disappeared like this? Or is there some complicated mechanism that holds the murder weapon? For an ordinary family, it is too much of a struggle.

The small-looking tengu was still sitting on the table, tickling with his hind legs. It looked at the anxious crowd, got back to its feet, and sniffed the holes in the corpses. It suddenly seemed to smell something, jumped off the stage, and slid around the ice cellar. Mu Wan followed it closely, always feeling that it had made some amazing discovery. Finally, around an inconspicuous corner, they saw a huge pile of ice, which had been chiseled out of a large gap, and the edges and corners of the entire turn had been smoothed out.

Everyone immediately figured out what was going on.

Isn't the murder weapon that can evaporate from the world ic?

A dozen ice picks that had been sharpened in advance were wrapped in cotton cloth and pierced into the body without needing to be taken out, so the wounds that should have been splashed with blood were plugged. As the warm blood slowly melted the ice, the blood slowly gushed out. After creating such a scene, blame the monster again, and no one else can find out.

That's what it is.

Liang Yuejun nodded with satisfaction, but her face did not change.

"And then?" He asked.

"What? Of course, to tell the villagers the truth? Mu Wan thought the question was strange.

"That's true. But how do you open your mouth to convince them? ”

"What's so hard about that? Just say no. Tell everyone that the Tan family was assassinated by traitors. And the most suspicious is the rich man who provided the land deed transfer documents. Then ask them who had seen a figure haunt the ice cellar that night. ”

Shanhai's face was embarrassed, and he stopped Mu Wan.

“…… It's not that simple. ”

"Really? Why do you say that. ”

"There is no evidence in empty words, and everything must be presented with a piece of evidence. We can indeed prove now that these five people did not die from the mouth of the dog demon, but we can't explain why the child named Tan Ge walked with the most suspicious dog demon...... Especially now that her life and death are uncertain. What's more, if we don't authenticate physical evidence, the rich man will definitely say that we slander, and it will be difficult to do. ”

Dai Luan picked up the dog, which was very rare. She kept rubbing its hair, and the tengu didn't seem to like it, but she didn't resist, and let her hold it, like a big rag doll. She rubbed her dog and rolled her eyes, as if she had a bad idea.

"If you don't play with the corpses, scare them, and let them invite them truthfully."

"Okay, promising."

Shi Wuqi said, and Miss Qi applauded. It's just that Liang Yuejun frowned:

"This ...... Isn't it not very decent? ”

"What kind of upright and gentlemanly demeanor do you still consider to deal with this kind of person?"

Shi Wuqi and Mu Wan looked at him at the same time with the eyes of caring fools, as if he was deliberately making everyone laugh.

It's just that no one really laughed out loud.

"yes. And who says that only murder weapons count as physical evidence? If this missing corner of ice can't explain the problem, a piece of paper with fingerprints is always convincing, right? Not to mention ......"

Before Mu Wan's words were finished, Shi Wuqi suddenly walked in front of her and went straight to Liangyuejun. He put his arm around his shoulder. Liang Yuejun turned his face sideways, a little puzzled.

"Cool Moon-kun...... It's not that I doubt you, but I do care a little. This corpse ...... Don't be fake, right? ”

Everyone in the ice cellar turned their heads, as if they were electrocuted, and their eyes quickly shifted between the two men.

Liangyuejun's face did not change color.

"How so?"

"I thought it was strange during the day, but I couldn't put it into words. It wasn't until I saw the corpse that I felt strange. I put my hand on the broken bones of several members of the Tan family, and I couldn't detect their memories before they died. Or, their family is a youkai; Or, it's not their real remains. ”

Shan Hai suddenly came back to his senses and pondered these words carefully. If Tan Ge's family is all monsters, it is not unreasonable. If she is still alive, why does the dog demon lead her to take care of her? But this is only a guess, and most likely it is the second half of the sentence. Although I don't want to doubt Liangyue-kun...... Maybe it wasn't him who stole the pillars, but someone else, but no matter what, he had reason to believe in Shi Wu's judgment.

"Hmm, your surname is Shi, and your name is not abandoned, is it?" Liang Yuejun looked at him carefully.

"Maybe you're not familiar with that name...... But do you know the name of the Lord of the Hundred Bones? ”

Liang Yuejun's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh, is that you? That's what I'm careless about. ”

"What are you muttering about?"

Mu Wan strode up to him, his tone filled with displeasure. This sounds like a big problem, and I can't find a second reason for it.

"Uh......"

Liang Yuejun, who had been calm and calm before, suddenly became hesitant. He hooked the horns of his hair and glanced at the master and apprentice in the distance, whose faces had also changed. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he took a deep breath.

"I can't hide it, the things I have been investigating have also come to this point. I have even gone further than you - I went directly to the mountains and found the trace of the dog demon. Miss Tan Ge is indeed alive now. ”

"So, why don't you bring her back and make it clear to the people? She is the most important witness! Mu Wan was a little anxious.

Liang Yuejun shook his head.

"Since ancient times, people's prejudice against demons has been difficult to eradicate. The rich man incited people's hearts and blamed the monster for this time. He did put a lot of effort into that land. Five lives is a lot less in this village, but it is not much more than war. And again...... Miss Tan Ge also told me that she was taken care of and did not want to come back to contact people and testify for her family. ”

"What's that?"

Mu Wan and Dai Luan were almost in unison, and Shanhai was also very surprised. In any case, how can a child have no feelings for his family? Or, does she want to take revenge on those murderers in some extreme way? It's not impossible. Thinking of this, Shanhai remembered the cat's face again, and suddenly felt dizzy.

Liang Yuejun sighed deeply, extremely heavy.

He told them the truth he had ascertained.

It turned out that that afternoon, when Tan Ge went down to the field with his parents, someone did come to their house. The two old men had inconvenient legs and feet, and it was the silly aunt who opened the door. After that, the man drugged their soup pot and made them sleep heavily at night. Originally, passers-by didn't notice that anyone was going to their house, but the earth dog kept barking.

Late at night, the Assassin returned to the area and infiltrated the backyard. Originally, the spacing of the canine teeth could be made more detailed, but Tan Ge's father was not too affected by the effect of the medicine and came to his senses. However, the Assassin was much stronger than him, and stabbed him in the eye with great skill. Just as Miss Tan Ge was fleeing from the house, the earth dog finally rushed in, bit his leg fiercely, and fought with the gangsters.

And the earth dog is not an ordinary dog. It is a monster that has formed a fairy relationship, and it is pregnant. It had fought with other terrible demons, lost half its life, fled all the way here, and collapsed at the entrance of the village. If it has no children, it will run out of gas. At this time, the mother of the Tan family happened to find it and brought it back.

It was said that it ran away, but it was a lie. It can't take on a human form yet, and its head is still a shaggy dog's head. But this change was enough to frighten the third-rate killer, and while he was in a panic, she immediately took the Tange girl and fled to the mountains.

She has no children and regards Miss Tan as her own daughter. She also knows how tempting a human being is in the mountains and forests to those lurking monsters. So she slowly injected demonic power into the girl, so that she also exuded a faint, similar demonic aura. While there are still dangers associated with being recognized, some of the troubles have been largely spared. When other youkai asked her, she would say, "This is my child, it's a youkai, it's a human-looking youkai."

The rich man didn't catch the girl, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do. After the frightened Assassin returned, he turned all his suspicions to the youkai of the mountains, especially the inu. Before, they just thought that there were many wolves in the mountains, but in this way, Miss Tan really couldn't go back.

That's a bad thing, and now I still regret that I didn't draft a document to sell my daughter.

"So, is it that the dog demon feels that humans are dangerous and no longer lets the benefactor's child approach?" Dai Luan asked.

"Or maybe something...... Maybe it's because I'm afraid that someone in the village will be able to detect the demonic aura on her body and think that it is another monster pretending. However, how can you explain to the villagers and elders? ”

Liang Yuejun looked at the mountains and seas and nodded.

"No matter how I say it, the dog demon is reluctant to bring the child to explain - naturally, if it is really returned, it is inevitable that it will be criticized. And without such proof, no matter how much I appease, people will not believe what I say. ”

In a sad atmosphere, Shi Wuqi was thoughtful.

"The story is good. So...... What does this have to do with the fake corpse? ”
