Chapter 284: Zhou Chaoxin
Blue shirt with a hip scimitar.
The dozen or so officials who followed skillfully drove out the crowd watching the excitement, and three or two people stood at the mouth of the alley to guard, for fear of putting in the small night that did not know the details.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing an ochre-red official uniform and embroidered clouds and geese got down from the sedan chair, and even ignored the greetings of his subordinates on the side, and rushed in with a few tolerances.
Very anxious.
Lin Chen silently swept everyone's faces in the distance, and that man was the supreme governor of this place unexpectedly.
"I heard it, Lin Chen." Wei Mu squeezed out of the crowd, panting and ran to Lin Chen's side to take a sip of tea and said, "That man, his name is Zhou Chaoxin, he is the Taishou here, although Yao'an Town is a town, but the actual area is very large, it is no problem to say that it is a Taishou." ”
"Listen to those people, there is a murder case inside."
"Do you know who's dead?" Lin Chen squinted his eyes and asked after looking at the hanging sky.
Wei Mu's face was a little strange when he heard this, and he was a little uncertain and said, "It seems to be Wang Lao'er, the guy who introduced Yao Anzhen to us before." ”
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Lin Chen decisively gave the order.
"How do you get in? It's a bit of a hassle not to alarm them. Wei Mu shook his head after glancing at the dense crowd and narrow alleys.
"I'll do it alone," Lin Chen knew that their level had dropped to thirty percent, so he didn't embarrass them, and then Lin Chen said, "If it gets dark, you must find a house nearby, I have some guesses now, I'm going to go in and check it." ”
"Okay, fireworks." Wei Mu nodded and said without refusal.
……
At the moment, inside the deep alley.
Lin Chen unexpectedly passed through the heavily guarded tolerance, and even the people who were close at hand did not notice Lin Chen.
After such a long time, Lin Chen has already developed many functions like flowers.
The primary energy is covered on the body to form a transparent film, and this film can hide its own shape, like a display screen that feeds back the correct color and texture behind itself.
Lin Chen walked through the main entrance and quickly found Zhou Chaoxin who had entered.
At this moment, he was standing outside a wide open door, listening to a man dressed as a merchant.
"You mean, when you came in to look for Wang Lao Er, you found that he was dead?" Zhou Chaoxin asked unhurriedly.
"Yes...... The villain came to Wang Lao Er this morning as usual...... Out of the stall, but who would have wanted to knock on the door for a long time without saying a word," the young man dressed as a merchant looked nervous and stammered, "If it were the same as usual...... The same...... The guy must have cursed. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Chaoxin smiled and said, "Then you pushed open the door and saw Wang Lao Er standing straight behind the door, standing dead with a frightened expression?" ”
"Yes," the merchant replied, nodding his head like pounding garlic, "the villain is true!" It's true! ”
"Nonsense!" A subordinate who followed closely next to Zhou Chaoxin shouted angrily, "It must be that you broke into the room and killed innocents when you saw your wealth, and now you want to stuff the evil to the non-existent monsters!" What are your intentions? ”
This roar is no less than the fury of thunder!
The merchant collapsed to the ground in fright, turned over and knocked, and knocked on his head on the muddy ground with a dull sound several times, "The villain is wronged!" The villain is really wronged! My lord! ”
"And say no!" The subordinate shouted angrily, "Everyone said that yesterday a few outsiders gave Wang Lao Er a small piece of gold, you covet this money, and you want Wang Lao Er to pay back the money you owe in the gambling house." ”
"But I never thought that Wang Lao Er rejected you, you have a grudge, although you and Wang Lao Er call each other brothers and sisters on weekdays, but the calculation in your heart has long been seen clearly, it must be that you took advantage of the night to touch into the room and use a sharp weapon to kill Wang Lao Er! Just for that piece of gold! ”
As soon as these words came out, the merchant's face was like snow, trembling all over, and he screamed sadly, "Wronged! Although my Xiaoliu is a good gambler, I won't kill my brother for money! ”
"Hmph, come on, take it!"
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, two tigers with their backs and bears swooped up, and dragged out of the yard after hitting the merchant's two big mouths.
Lin Chen watched with relish from the sidelines, just two plates of melon seeds, he was like a mirror in his heart, how could the courage of that merchant be the real murderer who killed Wang Laoer.
That corpse, Lin Chen had just taken a look.
Although the appearance seems to be complete, the whole person has only a pair of skins left, and there are two blood holes the size of little fingers in Wang Laoer's neck.
'It's like a straw,' Lin Chen smacked his lips, 'It feels like a spider's approach, injecting venom to soften the meat, and then sucking up the empty body. ’
When only Zhou Chaoxin and two subordinates were left in the courtyard, the subordinates who were still angry at the beginning suddenly changed their faces, looked at Zhou Chaoxin with concern and said, "My lord, this is the seventh case this month. ”
Hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and sure enough, that merchant was a scapegoat who was used to plug the people's mouths.
Looks like this has happened a lot.
"Yes, the seventh is up, I'm afraid I can't hide it," Zhou Chaoxin sighed, "Tell me to go down, don't embarrass that merchant in prison, and find a way to send them to other places." ”
"But this is not the way to go," one of his subordinates said worriedly, "the frequency is already increasing, and it used to be only three or four days together, but now it is every other day." ”
"What does the Taoist temple say?" Zhou Chaoxin asked after pondering for a few seconds.
"They said that it should be an evil thing, and they have already sent two Taoist leaders down to help, but they are just ...... In this way, the people will not be able to hide it. ”
"Evil ......" Zhou Chaoxin laughed at himself helplessly, "I can't go on any longer, I can't pray for the Ghost Festival, so let's let the Taoist elders start to do it, the reason is to ask for blessings for the dead, remember, you can't let the people connect these cases with evil spirits." ”
"Yes!"
Soon, several people had disappeared into the courtyard, and the bodies were hidden under straw mats and taken away through the back door by several henchmen.
"It's a little interesting, this ghost town seems to have formed a huge copy of the game, I don't know what the result will be when I find out this real murderer," Lin Chen rubbed his fingers and looked at the people in the distance, his eyes flickering, "Since that's the case, then it's okay, three Taoist priests." ’
……
On the other side, Zhao Junyi was covered in blood, hiding in the closet, holding the obsidian tightly in her hand and not daring to make a sound.
It was dark outside.
I don't know how long it has been, but this day doesn't mean to be bright at all.
Zhao Junyi understood that she had fallen into a trap, and not long after leaving her residence, the sky instantly turned black, followed by the surrounding black fog, and then there were tragic screams from the front.
In just the blink of an eye, the two brothers who walked the bright path were bitten by unknown monsters, and the rest of their bodies were torn into several pieces and dragged into the black mist.
This is followed by a creepy chewing sound.
But soon, the voice stopped, and Zhao Junyi suddenly understood!
I'm being targeted!
Almost subconsciously, Zhao Junyi activated the ability and teleported herself back to the inn!
But the strange thing is that there is no one in the inn!
He wasn't given half a chance to breathe at all, and footsteps had already appeared in the lobby downstairs!
And by the time Zhao Junyi hid in the closet in a panic, the footsteps had already appeared outside her door!
Squeak,
The door opened.
