The beams in the house were thick, but they were less than a foot wide, and the murderer was able to sleep on them wrapped in a futon, which showed that he had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

He walked in an extremely hurry, and many things were too late to be taken away, and on the beams of the house, Li Moyi found a lot of bits and pieces in addition to a thin quilt.

A small packet of beef jerky, a half-bitten baked cake, and a white wood carved doll.........

These things were all moved to the ground by Li Mo one by one.

Seeing this, the huge attendant asked, "Li Moyi, have you found anything?" ”

Li Mo looked around and asked, "The real person and the master are gone?" What about Tamako? ”

Guo Baitang said: "That kid is in a hurry to finish his work." ”

Immediately, the huge companion hall winked at Li Mo again: "The two masters don't want to see you." ”

"Brother Li, are you looking for me?"

Yu Qizi showed his head from the door and smiled at Li Moyi.

"It's good to come, and now I'll tell you what I've found." Li Mo pointed to the bits and pieces all over the ground: "We found a bunch of omnivorous and this gadget, this white wood carving villain is clearly a thing that only three or four-year-old children like, so the murderer may be a genius child killer, or it may be a single father with a child.........." ”

When Li Moyi realized that his words were beyond this era, some people had already raised questions.

Li Moyi explained: "m......... That is, the meaning of a single man with a child, based on our previous impression of the murderer, I think this case should be a big boy in his twenties, and this white wood carving villain should be the only relic left to him by his parents........."

Everyone's eyes looked at Yu Qizi, and it seemed that only this kid in Anqiu Town could barely meet the characteristics of the murderer.

Yu Qizi shrugged his nose, pointed to himself, and asked rhetorically, "Do you suspect that I am a murderer?" ……… Brother Li, you ............ You think so too? ”

Li Mo smiled: "I believe you, but others will definitely have doubts, so let's do it, you voluntarily show your hands and arms to everyone to solve your doubts, and I will ask you to eat something to make amends when I go back?" ”

"Okay."

Yu Qizi shrugged his nose and took off his coat very happily, there was a sleeveless undershirt inside, he raised his arms high, everyone could see clearly, his arms were thick and strong, his skin was wheat-colored, and there were any scars.

"Haha, I'll just say it......... How could Xiao Yuzi be a murderer? Now everyone believes it, right? Li Mo laughed and said.

Yu Qizi glared at Li Mo one by one: "Brother Li, I have already said that you are not allowed to call me Xiao Yuzi, why are you still called!" ”

"Quick mouth, quick mouth for a while......... Hehe, I'll be ......... next time" Li Mo smiled and said, "Yuzi, I'll take you to the street for a big meal when I'm done." ”

At this time, the huge attendant asked suspiciously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

As soon as Li Mo took out the strip of cloth and explained it to him, the huge attendant frowned and scolded: "Those things that have made mistakes, haven't you even checked such a conspicuous place, you must fix them well when you go back!" ”

Li Moyi smiled and said to the huge man: "Huge man, now should send a notice to remind the local people to pay attention to a young man who is about twelve to twenty years old, his height is about six feet three to five, and his body should be slightly stronger than Yuzi, and please check the food in their homes every day and some places where people can hide people. ”

The huge attendant nodded again and again, and Li Moyi finally made a summary and said: "The power of many people is infinite, we must fully mobilize all the people to force the murderer to have nowhere to hide, and then the murderer will naturally be caught!" ”

The huge escort gritted his teeth: "No problem, not only have we been tired in the past two months, but the people of Sanhe Village have also been tossed and angry, if you only hold on for two or three days, it should be no problem." ”

Li Mo smiled and said: "It's nothing for me now, these huge exhibits should be taken away and properly disposed of, I have other uses for this wood carving villain, so I will use it first." ”

It was a very ordinary woodcarving villain, and the huge escort didn't know what Li Moyi was going to do, but now the huge escort hall had almost reached the point of blind support for Li Moyi, so he nodded, and let Li Moyi carefully wrap the woodcarving villain with a soft cloth and hide it in his arms.

"Let's go."

Li Mo patted Yu Qizi on the shoulder one by one, and said to everyone: "If you have nothing to do, come with me for lunch, I'll have a treat!" ”

Several guards looked at the huge escort hall, and the huge escort hall waved their hands, and everyone cheered, and most of them left with Li Mo.

These guards come from various towns below Suzhou, most of them are the deputy escorts or guard leaders in the official residence, all of them are old fritters, and they naturally know the deep meaning behind the mansion's arrangement of Li Moyi to be responsible for solving the case.

Those old guards are all old fritters who have rolled in the oil pot many times, but a few young guards are still a little interesting, Li Mo secretly paid attention to them, and wrote down the names of those people.

Yu Qizi didn't say much at the banquet, his eyes straightened when he saw the wine and food, he ate like a war, looking at that posture, he didn't look like a disciple at all, but he had a fight with Lin Weixiao's guards and a few of their young guards.

After they had eaten and drunk, they all made a good impression on each other, and then they went back to their work, and the search in the morning was not over, and the new announcement had to be communicated to the local village officials and the common people in time.

………

………

Li Mo hiccuped, and Lin Weixiao, a familiar guard, and Yu Qizi walked to the south of the village, Li Moyi didn't dare to drink more, but he was also a little drunk, he led with his hands behind his back, and felt quite dignified.

………

………

The afternoon was not as busy as in the morning, Li Moyi proudly took Yu Qizi and Lin Weixiao guards to walk along the street, and a large amount of information continued to be collected into his hands, and in one afternoon, they copied the murderer's other three hiding places, and one by one, everyone's worship of Li Moyi reached a new high.

Seeing Li Moyi smiling mysteriously and constantly playing with the wood carving villain in his hand, Yu Qizi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, do you like the wood carving villain very much?" Took one on the spot and now buy another. ”

Li Mo smiled and said, "No, I buy these things are all useful, these two wood carving villains will tell me who the murderer is." ”

Yu Qizi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is the murderer?" ”

Li Mo raised the wood carving villain in his hand: "As long as the murderer's hand touches it, the wood carving villain will tell me immediately!" ”

"So godly?"

When all the guards heard this, they all looked over, and even Lin Weixiao, who knew Li Mo's affairs, couldn't help but reach out and touch it curiously.

"You can't touch it casually, it's a treasure!!" Li Mo withdrew his hand and hid the wood carving villain in his sleeve, resolutely not letting everyone touch it, he smiled mysteriously and said: "I have to be fully prepared tonight, so that I can catch the murderer early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Snort, pretend, I don't believe it........."

Yu Qizi shrugged his nose and said disdainfully: "I will also do this kind of trick, you just bought a candle, you want to burn some charcoal black on it, and then cover it for people to touch, people with weak hearts dare not touch it, and they will be exposed........."

Li Moyi's idea was guessed by Yu Qizi, and he said angrily: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, give it a try......"

Li Moyi held the wooden carving villain in his sleeve in his palm and handed it to Yu Qizi.

Yu Qizi saw with his own eyes the things that Li Moyi bought at the stall, how could he believe his words, and under the clamor of everyone, Yu Qizi was unconvinced and reached out to touch the wood carving villain.

"No, it's not like this, you have to hold the wood carving villain with two hands like worship........." Li Mo demonstrated to Yu Qizi, Yu Qizi had no choice but to do it, Li Mo had a trace of joy in his eyes, and he said nervously: "Let go, let go slowly........."

Yu Qizi looked at his finger suspiciously: "Now I have touched it, did the wood carving villain say anything to you?" ”

Li Mo smiled and used a newly bought silk cloth to hide the precious place of the wood carving villain in his arms: "It's not the time now, it must speak to me tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone let out a burst of boos together, but Li Moyi smiled and clenched his fists in all directions, looking complacent.

………

………

After shopping for a while, Li Moyi returned to the official residence in Sanhe Village, he first went to the mortuary to take a look, Lao Yang and his grandson Xiao Yang had already woken up, and Lao Yang had not found more clues, the body had been taken back by the Wang family, and it was said that it would be buried in two days.

Li Mo took back the magnifying glass and returned to the room arranged for him by the huge escort hall.

Behind closed doors, he began to look at the two woodcarved figures on the table in a daze.

If he had advanced investigation tools, he could have already extracted the murderer's fingerprints from the wooden carving figure obtained from the crime scene, and compared them with the fingerprints of more than a dozen other masters.........

However, he has no fingerprint powder, no transparent glue, even if he sees the fingerprints with a magnifying glass, they are mutilated and blurred, and to use them as direct evidence, he has to make the fingerprints visible so that others can see them at any time.

Li Moyi thought about it for a while, picked up the candle he bought in the afternoon, Yu Qizi was right, when burning the candle, it would produce a fine carbon black, as far as Li Moyi knew, this should be the finest particle that humans could make before the industrial age.........

However, Li Moyi didn't plan to use the method that Yu Qizi said to solve the case, he hoped that the carbon black could show the fingerprints, and he could only think of this method for the time being.

Li Moyi lit the wick of the candle.

After the candle burned for a while, Li Mo poured out the melted candle, the candle flame was in full bloom, and the black charcoal smoke rose, which was the result of the carbon substance not being completely burned, Li Moyi put the wooden carving figure he bought on top of the candle, and let the charcoal smoke roast, and after a while, the wood carving figure was covered with a layer of black soot.

Li Mo used a magnifying glass to look carefully at the wooden carving figure by candlelight, and looked.........

Finally, disappointed, he put the wooden carving figure on the table, blew out the candles, and lay down on the couch in a daze.

His attempt failed, carbon black, maybe not suitable for use as fingerprint powder, it is too subtle, the adhesion is strong, the wood carving villain is blackened a lot, and there is no trace of fingerprints at all, Li Moyi doesn't know if it's because he chose the wrong material, or because of his own technology, in short, the road of using fingerprints to solve the case is temporarily impossible.

He hid in the room and didn't come out until Lin Wei's little guard came to call him for dinner, Li Moyi appeared in front of everyone with a mysterious smile, a small setback could not affect his pace of progress, he cautiously locked his room, and announced to everyone: "Tonight I will be in the room to prepare for tomorrow morning, Xiao Lin Wei, and that guard, you two will take turns guarding the door tonight, no one is allowed to enter except me, remember to be ........."

"Yes!! Brother Li, don't worry, we will never let anyone in!! Lin Wei's little guard and one of the guards agreed loudly.

"Pretending ........."

Yu Qizi pursed his lips disdainfully, he really kept his promises, and he was about to become Li Moyi's follower.

Li Moyi stepped forward a little closer, and whispered to the jade qizi, "......... Let me tell you, everyone has ten fingers, each finger has a unique fingerprint, although there are countless people in the world, but every fingerprint on our fingers is unique, I use a candle to smoke on the wood carving figure, the fingerprints will slowly appear, tomorrow morning when the fingerprints will appear, when a pair of fingerprints, is not a grasp of a quasi? ”

Yu Qizi didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and he suddenly shouted: "You tricked me into touching that thing, don't you still believe me, and you want to use my fingerprints to make a comparison?" ”

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder and said very kindly: "How could it be........."

“……… I'm just borrowing your fingerprints to do an experiment in advance, you know, I wasn't sure before, I can't just use the most important evidence to experiment, right? Wouldn't it be worse if it was messed up? ”

Yu Qizi said angrily: "Then you won't use your own fingerprints?" ”

Li Moyi smiled indifferently and said: "This is definitely the first fingerprint experiment in the world, with your fingerprints, your name may be recorded in history in the future......... It's a supreme affair........."

"Yao is a big head......... Yu Qizi scolded himself hatefully, "......... You just don't trust me........."

Li Mo glanced at it slightly, "Don't complain, you can't afford to ......... I have a very secret operation tonight, only the big hall and two other people know about it, and I didn't even tell my little brother Lin Wei's little guard, are you interested in participating? ”

Yu Qizi said in a skeptical tone, "What do you want to do again?" I'll make it clear first, I'm going to turn around if you doubt me or try to do anything with me........."

Li Moyi smiled, and said, "No, no, but this matter......... I'm afraid you're not bold enough......"

Yu Qizi rolled his eyes at Li Mo without saying a word, and immediately turned his head away.

Li Mo was a little surprised, "Okay, I know you're bold, but you're not busy with this matter, you have to wait until everyone sleeps in the middle of the night to do it........."

………

………

In the middle of the night, it was dark, and Sanhe Village had quieted down, except for the sound of the gentry's bang, only the whispers of the sentry posts chatting together.

"What people!!" A sentry asked, raising his stick.

"It's me."

A few people came out of the darkness, and the sentry hurriedly put away his stick and stood up, and said with a smile and compliment: "It turned out to be a huge man, and the huge man still patrolled himself at such a late hour." ”

The huge man said: "No, I took a few brothers out of town to do some things, everyone has worked hard, and if you persist for a few more days, the case will be solved.........

As the group walked away, the sentry turned around and spitted: "In a few days and a few days, I don't know how many times I will say it, this case is not over!" ”

Another sentry said: "Maybe it's really about to solve the case, haven't you heard, the new little guard is a god, today they almost caught the murderer, it is said that the murderer is a young man in his twenties, he has killed so many people at a young age, it is definitely a heavenly evil star, everyone should be careful, don't accidentally bump into that fierce god." ”

"He's a fierce god, so what is the little guard?" Another sentinel quipped.

The sentry said, "What else do you need to say?" It's either a celestial star or a celestial star........."

………

………

At this moment, in a dark corner that no one noticed, a pair of slightly squinted eyes flashed with a sharp light, he was wearing a black night coat, lying on the top of the wall, watching the huge escort hall and their group called open the village gate and went out of Sanhe Village, when the village gate was closed again, he retracted his gaze, glanced at the sentries coldly, snorted coldly in his heart, and turned around, the target was the official residence of Sanhe Village.

………

………

Li Moyi raised his head after they came out of Sanhe Village with a huge number of people, the reason why they were secretive was because what they were going to do was a secret thing, once it was known by others, it would be a real disaster.........

"Li Moyi, are you sure you really have to do this?" When it came to the end, the huge man still asked with some hesitation.

Li Moyi insisted with certainty: "Yes, the murderer's purpose of killing people is not simple, since the head of the mansion submitted a letter, he has always wanted to tell us something, but it has been ignored by many people, this case definitely has a grudge, but Wang Shuigen and his family resolutely denied it, which is very suspicious.........

After a pause, Li Moyi continued: "......... Those who covered up the murderer and faked the scene are undoubtedly the Wang family themselves, why is this? What secrets do they have that they are afraid of being discovered by us? There are not many questions left in this case so far, and the current question can only be solved through this method. ”

The huge hall sighed, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, there were two lanterns in the darkness that were particularly eye-catching, which were the cemetery of the Wang family.........

………

………

A large area was enclosed by a high wall, and there was a separate room in front of the gate of the royal cemetery, in which the people sent by the royal family to guard the cemetery lived.

When Li Moyi suddenly told him what to do, the huge companion was really startled, looking at Yu Qizi skillfully pried open the door and entered the house, he said worriedly: "Li Moyi, why did you bring Yu Shaoxia too?" ”

Li Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yuzi won't say it." ”

The huge companion shook his head, only to see a figure flashing, Yu Qizi had closed the door and came back, he said with some excitement on his face: "It's done, I used twice the amount, those two guys won't wake up until at least dawn." ”

At this point, the huge man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go in and have a look!" ”

………

………

The five of them climbed over the wall and entered the Wang family cemetery, in order not to leave a trace, Li Moyi also asked Yu Qizi to climb up the wall first, and then dropped the rope and took everyone up, so as to avoid leaving some marks with the hook.

The huge attendant came to a tomb familiarly, pointed to the tombstone and said: "This is the tomb of Wang Shuigen's eldest son Wang Zisuffin, is it really going to be excavated?" ”

Li Mo answered him with his own actions, and with a bang, he hoeed down.

The second to do it was Yu Qizi, seeing this situation, the huge man and Yang Qizuo also started, and everyone dug silently for a while, and soon sank into the ground.

"Bell!!"

With a crisp sound, Yu Qizi's hand was shocked to a numb, and he blurted out and exclaimed, "I got the hoe, and it was actually a stone." ”

"Yes, it is indeed a sarcophagus, the Wang family has always used sarcophagi, and a distant relative of their family specializes in selling sarcophagi in Sanhe Village and doing burial business." The giant man jumped into the pit as he spoke, and threw the earth to the ground with both hands, and the sarcophagus gradually came out.

Li Moyi, Yu Qizi, and Xiao Yangdui became idlers at this time, looking at the skillful techniques of the huge man and Yang, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and said in their hearts: "Didn't they often do this before.........

The huge hall snorted, and lifted the lid of the sarcophagus hard, Xiao Yangdui lit a torch in time and handed it down, Yang Qizuo took the torch and leaned into the coffin, there was a coffin lid to cover it, and the fire was not easy for anyone to find.

As soon as Yang Qizuo leaned down, he let out an exclamation, Li Moyi originally held his breath and looked at the sky, but when he heard the voice, he hurriedly approached and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yang Dui and Yu Qizi also looked down curiously, only to hear Yang Qizuo say excitedly: "Sure enough, something is wrong, the corpse actually wears a mask on its face, and I have never seen the style of this mask." ”

Li Moyi couldn't help but jump off the pit, Yang Qizuo was on the right, Li Moyi was on the left, and he also leaned down.

I saw that there was a lot of sinking water in the hall, and it was very smelly, but fortunately, the corpse was dressed neatly and wore a mask, and there was finally no terrifying scene.

After taking a closer look, Li Moyi said with certainty: "This is a bandit warrior mask, made by Yang, let's see if there are any special burial items." ”

Yang Qizuo took out a bamboo three-claw grabber from his arms, put it into the sinking water and fished it up, and after a while, he picked up a few things, a burial Sanling knife made people look at each other, and a good glass hook jade was also recognized by Li Moyi, cut the clothes on the corpse, and a heart protector appeared in the whole mirror.........

………

Li Mo turned his head and climbed up the dirt pit without a loud voice, and walked to the distance to take a breath of fresh air before whispering: "Cover it up, don't look any further, the mask of the bandit warrior, plus the three traditional artifacts of the bandit to accompany the burial, it can be known that the true identity of the deceased is a bandit warrior with a high status." ”

"What a martial artist, it's clearly a big bandit who is meticulous!!" Yu Qizi gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Li Mo nodded: "Yes, the son of the royal family turned out to be a bandit and martial artist, so what about the rest of their family?" Did they flee to the village of Three Rivers or did they have another purpose? Restore everything, let's go back and talk about it. ”

Together, the grave was re-piled, and the final touches were to be done by the great man and the man, who were to restore the tomb to its original state as much as possible.

After everyone left the cemetery, they found a place to throw away their tools, washed their hands with plenty of water, burned their clothes directly and changed them to new ones, and smoked their whole bodies with incense.

………

………

After returning to the official residence, everyone went back to take a bath separately, planning to get together after breakfast and discuss, Li Mo walked back to his room quickly, only to see that Lin Wei's little guard and a guard were not guarding at the door, Li Moyi looked down at the door with an unchanged expression, and saw a thin layer of flour sprinkled on the ground, and a few clear footprints were imprinted at his door.

As soon as Li Mo took out the shoe pattern and compared it with the footprints at the door, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "I caught you........."

………

………

As soon as Li Mo pushed the door in, he immediately found that the two wooden carving villains on the table were gone, he smiled slightly, all this was in his calculations, all he had to do now was wait.

As soon as Li Mo called for hot water, when he was soaking in the house, the voices of Lin Wei's little guard and a guard sounded outside the door: "Brother Li, can we come in." ”

Li Moyi said, "Come in." ”

Lin Wei's little guard and a guard pushed the door in, and the two of them couldn't see Li Moyi who was soaking in the bucket through the screen, and they said ashamedly: "Brother Li, we smashed the matter and failed to guard the door of the house, did we lose something?" ”

Li Mo closed his eyes and said comfortably: "Well, I lost something, my wood carving villain was stolen by someone, I can't blame you for this, that person has already shown mercy, you should be happy if you think about Wang Wang's fate." ”

The two pursed their lips, and Lin Wei's little guard smiled and said, "Brother Li, you really don't blame us?" ”

Li Mo nodded: "You guys did a good job, are you a little injured?" ”

"Hmm."

One of the guards rubbed his neck and said, "My neck still hurts, we just asked the doctor to massage it." ”

Li Moyi said: "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest, if the injury is not healed in the morning, take a day off, and I will say hello to the huge companion hall." ”

"Thank you, Brother Li, then let's go first, mother's dear, it really hurts........." Lin Wei's little guard and a guard scolded and left.

Li Mo put on his clothes together, and said lightly: "Come down, have you caught someone?" ”

Guanghe Song jumped off the beam of the house lightly, and he asked in surprise, "How did you know that I came in?" ”

Li Moyi said lightly: "You came in behind Lin Wei's little guards, it's not surprising, you should come back too, what's the matter, you chased people away again?" ”

Guanghe Song had a wry smile on his face, "I can't hide anything from you, that kid is very slippery, I blocked the door as soon as he entered the door as you told me, but I didn't expect this kid to burst into trouble and forced me to take a few steps back, he grabbed the door and fled, I chased down, and he was thrown away after all." ”

Li Moyi said disapprerovingly: "Do you see his origin?" ”

Guanghe Song said: "The swordsmanship he uses seems to be the Qijun swordsmanship in the Wuzhen Master Sect......... But......... It seems to be a little different, if it is the real Qijun swordsmanship, I will never be forced by him, after all, his skills are not as good as mine. ”

"Qijun Sword Technique?"

Li Mo asked in surprise, and then calmed down again: "Think about it again, what's so strange about his swordsmanship?" What other characteristics does he have? What is the origin of the light work used? ”

Guanghe Song said: "His swordsmanship is plausible, if I don't recognize this swordsmanship, it's okay, it is those sudden changes that caught me off guard, his sword movement seems to be a little different, a few times I found that his internal strength is not as good as mine, but it is quite domineering, and those pure heart and heart method are completely different, the light skills he uses are also the wind steps in the door of the true master, but there are also big differences, some subtleties are a little like the Qingsheng Shaoxia's sect of treading snow and seeking ........."

“……… I know. ”

Li Moyi said: "You can also go and rest now, it's hard work." ”

Guanghe Song seemed to have something to say, but he finally didn't say anything, and quietly closed the door, Li Moyi lowered his head in thought and closed his eyes gently.........

………

………

In the middle hall of the Wang family's old house, there were more than a dozen people sitting on the left and right at a long low table, and there were many empty seats in between, and Wang Shuigen sat on the main seat facing due north.

"It's the end of the month again, and we haven't been together in a long time........."

"You shouldn't have promised them, it's dangerous for us to get together now." Wang Zigong said coldly.

A middle-aged man sitting on the right side of Wang Shuigen slapped the Nanmu table and said angrily: "Second brother, how dare you talk to the general like this!" ”

Wang Zigong sneered and said, "Meat Hu Qin Yan, you are not qualified to speak here. ”

The person who spoke before was swollen and red, his ancestor was a butcher, and the salted bacon he sold was very popular, and after becoming a martial artist, he gave himself a name that he thought was very good, who knew that after coming to Sanhe Village, this name became the laughing stock of everyone, no matter how he changed his name, everyone would use this name to ridicule him if he disagreed.

Wang Shuigen shouted: "Shut up for me, now it's time to have to get together once, and it's about to blow the east wind, but we haven't been able to get together to discuss this year's distribution because of the murderer, and if we don't prepare early, there will be chaos." ”

"I think last year's distribution was pretty good, so there's no need to discuss it anymore." The other man was sitting precariously speaking.

Wang Zigong sneered and said: "The situation in the situation in the eyes is changing very quickly, don't you think that the territory of your decisive family is already half smaller?" Are you still embarrassed to take last year's share with a bumpy!! ”

"You!!"

Ankou was furious, and with a loud shout, the knife on his waist had been pulled out more than a foot.

"Have you all lost your patience.........

Wang Shuigen slapped his palm on the low table, a visible shock wave spread all the way, with a few clicks, several cracks had cracked on the low table, Wang Shuigen's anger made everyone awe-inspiring, and obediently closed their mouths.

Wang Shuigen took a breath, finally calmed down, and said coldly: "You have disappointed me too much, it is your uncooperative attitude that allows that murderer to still live freely after killing so many people, I hope you will cooperate with me from now on, and the grievances between you will be talked about later, otherwise I will not be polite." ”

Wang Zigong looked at Ankou angrily and did not back down, but Ankou still put the knife in the sheath.
