[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming gave his disciple Jiaoyun Treasure Umbrella, and after Jiaoyun tried it again and again, he felt satisfied, and asked Mu Qingming for a name for the treasure umbrella. And that night, in the warehouse room on the edge of the Zhangtang wharf in the west of the city, a homeless man sleeping here was awakened by the sound of rustling, and saw countless rays of moonlight transformed spider silk, wrapped around him, and scared him to death. On the second day, Mu Qingming went to work on the Yulong pile, and after giving his workers a red envelope to start work, he saw Zhao Liang hurrying to find him. Zhao Liang, who was in a hurry, pulled Mu Qingming aside and told him a strange thing. It turned out that there was another murder in the city, and a shriveled body was found in the warehouse near the wharf. 】

Under the moonlight, the frightened homeless man's face froze with a frightened expression. The hollow eyeballs, which were wide and bulging out, stared straight ahead.

And what stayed in his eyes was only a look of horror.

The poor homeless man died silently in the silent night breeze under the cold light of the moon. It became a cold corpse, and collapsed quietly in the corner of the alley.

The homeless man died, and in the darkness that the moonlight could not illuminate in the distance, there were four people wearing black cloaks and felt hats to cover their faces, but they were tall, short, fat and thin, slowly walked out of the darkness, bathed in the bright moonlight, and walked slowly towards the corpse of the homeless man.

The exposed eyes of the four of them shimmered with a faint blood-red glow in the moonlight, revealing bloodthirsty greed.

A low dark laugh echoed in the moonlight......

At dawn, Mu Qingming, who yawned, walked out of Shala Alley, and sat down at the stall selling thin soybean flour at the entrance of the alley to have breakfast.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the joy and smell of gunsmoke brought by firecrackers and fireworks last night have not completely dissipated. And the cold was still diffusing in the early morning, and although Mu Qingming had a true Qi body, he still instinctively put a sleeveless jacket on the stand-up collar kaftan jacket.

And most of the shops and shops in the city have started to work in the new year. The thin soybean flour stall outside the mouth of Shala Lane is also the first day of this year. Mu Qingming has not eaten this local specialty snack thin bean flour for several days, and he is just in a hurry to go to work today, so he simply does not eat breakfast at home, and deliberately eats a bowl of hot thin bean flour here despite the cold.

After eating and drinking, his body warmed up, and Mu Qingming, who gave the money, stood up, said goodbye to the stall owner and his wife, and went towards the jade dragon pile.

Today, all walks of life start work in the New Year, and the Qijia Inn on the jade dragon pile is naturally no exception. In addition to going to work on the first day of the new year, Mu Qingming also had to go to the workers in the warehouse to hand out red envelopes for work, also to celebrate the occasion.

The red envelope was sent to him by Mrs. Qi and Qi Gao before the Chinese New Year. It must be sent out today, and the hour must not be missed.

In Mu Qingming's arms, he is really carrying a hundred silver and heavy gold now. I didn't go far on the streets in the early morning, which was still a little deserted, and I thought that if someone knew that he had a lot of money on him, would it lead to robbery?

Of course, it's just boring and random thinking on the road. If he really encountered a robbery, Mu Qingming would not be stunned.

After walking like this for a long time, Mu Qingming finally came to the jade dragon pile.

At this time, the inn on the hillside opened its doors and started construction, and firecrackers were lit at the moment the door opened, which was auspicious. The crackling noise resounded incessantly under the still gray morning sky, which made Mu Qingming's ears itch a little.

When Mu Qingming couldn't help it, he plucked his ears with his little finger, and also walked to the front of the Qi family's warehouse.

The open door of the warehouse has been replaced with a new blessing character, couplet. The door has also been replaced with a new lantern. Xiao Heizi was hanging a series of red paper firecrackers nearly half a foot long on the flagpole made of pure iron under the guise of the door, and lit the fuse with the fire rope.

After a sizzling sound, the firelight flashed, and the rich ** smell spread out with the crackling sound.

By the time the firecrackers were finished, workers in the warehouse had raised the newly made front and hung it on top of the flagpole.

"Young Master Mu." The little black man who came with his fists hugged stood in front of Mu Qingming, saluted again and again, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's time to give you a good old age." ”。

The smile is full of faces, and it is very bright.

"I'll give you a good old age too." In the sound of firecrackers, Mu Qingming also stretched his brows and smiled, and after bowing, he took out a red envelope, which was the red envelope that the Qi family had already prepared. Then he handed it to Kuroko.

Kuroko didn't shirk it, he reached out with a smile and accepted the red envelope.

If he doesn't accept it, he won't give the owner Qi Gao's face. What's more, the red envelope contains an ocean of real money and silver, which is money. If you don't accept it, it's two.

"At the beginning of the new year, you have to have a new atmosphere, and you will work hard this year, and I will also give you a credit for Qi Gao at the end of the year." Mu Qingming patted Kuroko on the shoulder and walked towards the warehouse.

The whole warehouse is also full of joy, and the newly replaced couplets and lanterns can be seen everywhere. The new decorations are also very bright red, adding a festive color.

Mu Qingming gave red envelopes to every worker in the warehouse, and then sat in the main house after paying a respect.

Although the warehouse is also starting in the New Year, the main thing is to negotiate the goods order, and there is not too much work in the warehouse. Everyone is quite idle.

In addition, everyone got red envelopes again, and they were all full of energy.

Mu Qingming in the main room took the list of goods handed by the sunspot, looked at it carefully and then lifted the pen that the little sunspot handed over, circled several goods on the list, and ticked the names of other goods, and handed the list to the sunspot: "Take someone to complete the goods on these circles today." All the ticks will be completed within five days. ”。

The operation process of the warehouse, Mu Qingming has mastered it proficiently. According to the caravan line and sales, he is already clear about when to replenish and what to replenish in the past.

When it comes to doing things, practice makes perfect. In three or five clicks, everything to be done today was arranged in an orderly manner.

"By the way, let the blacksmiths begin to see if there are any horseshoe and stirrup, which need to be repaired; Hurry up if you have one. The cobblers can also start refurbishing the saddles. When Heizi took over the list, Mu Qingming said again: "By the way, let Lao Sun go and make up all the forage and medicine." Half a month later, our three horse gangs will be the first to set off, so the rations will have to be replenished urgently. ”。

"Holo." The little black man who gave these explanations answered, turned around and walked out of the house.

He had just crossed the threshold with his front feet, and Mu Qingming also raised his eyes and looked out of the door. Heizi and Mu Qingming saw Zhao Liang, who was in a hurry at the same time, and his brows were tightly locked, and he quickly walked into the warehouse and came straight to the main house.

The weather was still slightly cool in the early morning, but Zhao Liang's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

Zhao Liang ignored it, and didn't pay attention to the little black man who greeted him warmly, rushed straight into the house, and when he stood in front of Mu Qingming, Mu Qingming had roughly guessed the purpose of his trip at a glance, so he took a step ahead of Zhao Liang and asked unhurriedly: "Is there a murder reported by someone in the city?" ”。

Although Zhao Liang and Mu Qingming have become iron buddies after getting along for a few years, Zhao Liang came to Mu Qingming in a hurry, and he definitely didn't come to invite him to the banquet.

In this case, Zhao Liang will always only do one thing - there is a strange case in the city, either he has lost someone, or there is a murder case.

And Mu Qingming has long been accustomed to being troubled by Zhao Liang; And he Mu Qingming is paid by the Provincial Police Department, so he has to do his best. Now that Zhao Liang has come to the door, he will not shirk it.

Zhao Liang nodded his head and said, "Take a step to speak." ”。

Mu Qingming didn't think much about it, so he stood up, and after explaining the responsibilities of the workers, he followed Zhao Liang out of the warehouse.

The cool breeze blew through the jade dragon pile, and the branches of the trees standing on the slope trembled, shaking off a few fallen leaves, and then flipped up with the cool breeze and drifted into the distance.

Mu Qingming followed Zhao Liang and walked to the bamboo forest next to the Qi family's warehouse, looking at the fallen leaves that were flipping in the cool breeze and flying farther and farther away, but he didn't squeak, silently waiting for Zhao Liang to tell the whole story.

"A strange thing happened in the city today, I woke up in the bed, the city finally settled down for a long time, and today there was another murder in the warehouse near the wharf in the city." Zhao Liang looked around and frowned slightly after seeing that there were no outsiders around, and confusion lingered in his eyes: "I won't come to talk to you about ordinary murders, but this murder is incredible." I took people to feel near the warehouse, and they were shocked when they saw the scene. ”。

Mu Qingming's curiosity was also aroused a little by what he said.

After all, Zhao Liang is a person who has followed him and seen a lot of strange things, and there must not be many things that can scare Zhao Liang. Therefore, Mu Qingming also retracted his gaze when he heard this, and when he looked at Zhao Liang, he asked, "Oh? What scared you? ”。

"Corpses."

"Corpses?" Mu Qingming, who had repeated a sentence, furrowed his brows.

"yes. Although the identity of the deceased is still being investigated, the appearance of the corpse is very strange. With a nod, Zhao Liang was still frowning slightly before, and he instantly frowned under the memory: "As a preliminary survey of the scene, there was no scar on the corpse, and there was no skin and blood, but the corpse was dumbfounded, and the horror in his eyes proved that he was scared to death." ”。

Hearing this, Mu Qingming's expression became focused. With his understanding of Zhao Liang, he has been verbose for a long time, and the following is the main topic.

"But the corpse of the deceased is very strange." Zhao Liang still frowned, and said in a low voice: "The body is gray, the skin and flesh are dry and close to the bones, and the belly is sunken. The skin on the top and bottom of the body was already wrinkled, like, like cured meat that had been dried. ”。

After that, Zhao Liang fell into deep thought. The look of confusion on his face did not decrease but increased, and became more and more intense.

"Dry corpse?" Mu Qingming thought about it and asked.

"Well, dry corpses." Zhao Liang bowed his head slightly, and said: "You know, on this day in Kunming, it is normal to be a little dry in late summer and autumn solstice." But at this time, it is not enough to say that it is dry enough to make the corpse completely devoid of moisture, so the corpse is very weird. ”。

"Kuroko." When Mu Qingming heard this, he walked around Zhao Liang and shouted in front of the store.

The sunspots in the courtyard heard the sound and hurriedly ran over.

"You look at the things here, I'll help Zhao Liang do something." Mu Qingming explained to Xiao Heizi, and after Heizi hurriedly nodded and answered, Mu Qingming turned around and left, called Zhao Liang, who was still stunned, and walked towards the jade dragon pile.

He had seen dried corpses, but in the Gobi Desert. It is also known that only the dry weather of the Gobi Desert can allow the corpse to be air-dried.

Kunming City, a place like spring all year round, can have dried corpses, which is extremely abnormal. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Mu Qingming wants to see with his own eyes, which demon is this demon making trouble under his eyelids?
