Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Great Being That Shouldn't Exist in This World

The sky was dark, and the cold wind suddenly rose, blowing Li Shenzhi's red hair messily.

Facing the suspicious gazes of Copperfield and others, he said calmly:

"Some trivial details point to me, not necessarily accurate. However, in this absence of clues, it may be a direction of investigation. ”

"Oh? What are the details? Copperfield asked.

"Scrap straw and denim batting."

Li Shenzhi raised his hand, and the palm lines in his palms suddenly cracked, and dense maggots flashed through the cracks in the palm lines, spitting out a bunch of sparse things.

Everyone came over curiously, their faces full of surprise.

Because these things are so finely fragmented, they can't be distinguished without looking closely, and they look like scraps of dead grass that can be picked up at hand.

"That's all because of that?" Copperfield looked ridiculous.

"That's right, if it's just found around one or two graves, it doesn't mean much! In reality, however, fragments of straw and a small amount of denim batting were found in all six graves. I expanded my search and found nothing around other graves, a detail that is enough to suggest that the robbers came from the farm, or rather passed by. ”

Li Shenzhi talked eloquently, secretly crying out for coincidences in his heart.

How could he have the insight of Sherlock Holmes?

All this is just a matter of tracing the cause of the effect.

When he saw these graves, he subconsciously thought of the mysterious man who had exhumed the body in the mass grave last night.

Therefore, there is a conscious search for clues related to the farm.

Under the carpet search of the maggot swarm, these discoveries have been made.

It is said that the reason why he guided Copperfield and others to explore the farm was also because his doppelganger maggots hindered the exploration of the farm.

It was difficult for his maggots to get close to the room where the corpses were kept, and each time they came close, they would die instantly, much like the sheriff's shelter field.

To be precise, it was the blessing of the god of navigation.

I don't know what the situation is on the farm?

So he wanted to borrow Copperfield's hand to investigate.

"Sounds reasonable, let's go check it out!" Loxani looked amazed.

"Could this be a misleading clue that the robbers deliberately left at the scene?" Inspector Hobbes, who had not spoken, said.

Is it really against it for the sake of opposition?

Li Shenzhi sighed in his heart and said: "There is this possibility, but if it is to mislead the Public Security Bureau, this clue is too secretive." I said, there is only this clue at the moment, you might as well follow it down. ”

Copperfield said: "I suggest that it be reported to the General Administration, even if the murderer is from the farm, the scope of the investigation is too large, and when we start an investigation, it will inevitably alarm the murderer and make him escape." ”

Li Shenzhi frowned and reminded: "Mr. Copperfield, if this little matter is reported to the General Administration, will it seem that our fourteenth district is too incompetent?" ”

He wondered if Copperfield was heavily dependent on supernatural powers.

As long as you encounter a problem that can't be solved by extraordinary power, it must be that this power is too weak, so you keep asking for reports and seeking stronger forces to intervene?

Copperfield raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Langdon, I have to remind you that any disaster is preceded by countless omen. Highgate Cemetery has been built for decades and has rarely been stolen, and when it does, it is still guided by resentful spirits. However, this time the spirit did not know anything, and even the divination was interfered with, do you know what this means? ”

It means that your strength has been restrained, so you spare your life and are afraid!

"You're right, Mr. Copperfield, it's me who didn't think it right."

Li Shenzhi is as good as a stream.

The sheriff of the double embedding is instigated, why is he holding on?

Copperfield glanced at Li Shenzhi with some surprise, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Roxani looked back and forth at Li Shenzhi and Copperfield, but finally did not speak.

Before the group had left the cemetery, a group of well-dressed people approached.

Among them, the leader is particularly eye-catching.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with long cheeks that resembled shoehorns, thick lips, and yellow hair, but he was dressed in great style.

"Duke Habs?"

Sheriff Copperfield greeted him with a look of surprise.

"Sheriff Copperfield, I've heard that there's been a terrible body robbery here?"

Duke Habs asked straight to the point, with a worried look on his face.

"There are indeed body robberies here, but it's not serious, everything is under control. In fact, we've just made a breakthrough clue and we'll be able to catch the killer and hang him on a sling! Copperfield replied with a stern face.

"This is the only comforting news I have heard today, Mr. Copperfield, please say hello to Chief Van Lunding on my behalf."

"It is my pleasure, Mr. Habs! Are you here to see Lady Mary? ”

"Yes, after hearing about the corpse robbery, I really can't rest assured, so I came and take a look!"

"Your affection for Madame Mary is truly admirable! Look at the sky, it's about to get dark, so I'll go with you, the night roads on the Tudor border are not safe. Copperfield took the initiative.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Copperfield. However, I do not intend to return to the city tonight, and my servant has informed the farm. Duke Habs said.

"In that case, then I won't bother." Copperfield took his leave.

Shortly after they parted, Copperfield suddenly tilted his head slightly, his lips squirming.

In Li Shenzhi's eyes, he clearly saw a resentful spirit emerge from the grave and float to Copperfield, listening to his orders.

Li Shenzhi took out the monocle polished with the Spiritual Vision Ball and buckled it on his left eye as a camouflage for the visible ghost.

Not long after, the wraith quietly departed, in the direction of Duke Habs's place.

"Mr. Copperfield, what's going on?"

Li Shenzhi took the initiative to ask.

"Among the stolen bodies was Lady Mary, the cousin of Duke Habs, and I told the spirits to keep an eye on them to prevent accidents." Copperfield explained.

"I see." Li Shenzhi bowed his head and stopped talking.

After the group left the cemetery and got into the carriage, Loxani, who finally got a chance to be alone, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Langdon, this matter is over?" ”

Li Shenzhi said: "Otherwise? Mr. Copperfield is right when he says that any disaster is preceded by countless omens. What we have to do is to detect the omen in advance and hand it over to someone more capable to solve, just like you find an abnormality and report it to me, which is not shameful or frustrating. ”

Loxani looked thoughtful when she heard this.

As everyone knows, Li Shenzhi said this on his lips, but he complained in his heart.

I wouldn't have talked about the farm if I had known.

Unexpectedly, Copperfield, who found the clues, was still so cowardly.

Perhaps, this is also the fundamental reason why he was able to become the sheriff.

Li Shen complained in his heart, feeling that he had learned a trick.

There is no need to rush to the front in everything, and it is not a good hand to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

Thinking of this, he simply stopped the exploration of the maggots on the farm, carefully hibernated, and waited for the help of the Sheriff's Department to arrive.

I never thought that he didn't wait for the help of the Sheriff's Department, but waited for Duke Habs, who had a one-sided relationship!

When night fell, several horse-drawn carriages came from afar and stopped outside the farm.

Surrounded by a group of servants, Duke Habs stepped into the farm.

'No, could it be that this is the Duke of Habs's farmstead?' So what is his relationship with the corpse robbers? ’

Li Shenzhi's face was full of surprise, and his heart moved, driving a maggot to crawl on Duke Habs.

Under his gaze, Duke Habs looked like an unwitting nobleman.

He first enjoyed his dinner slowly, and after dinner, he took a hot bath under the service of the maid, and then went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Everything is calm and business as usual.

If there is anything special, it is to invite a beautiful lady before going to bed, squander her physical strength, and do a two-person exercise.

Perhaps, he chose to settle on the farm, just for this little lover of the golden house.

Thanks to the existence of this little lover, Li Shenzhi's patience would have been exhausted long ago.

However, even so, when the two finished exercising, Li Shenzhi was still a little bored.

Could it be that the corpse thief deliberately occupied the magpie's nest and used the special status of Duke Habs as a cover?

It's possible!

In fact, the house that Li Shenzhi couldn't get into didn't look big.

From the outside, it looks a bit like a farm tool warehouse.

The long night and aimless waiting is undoubtedly the most patient.

Li Shenzhi has even complained about the efficiency of the Public Security Bureau.

He's given directions, why hasn't he shown up yet?

No, when the clock struck mid-afternoon, the sleeping Duke of Habs suddenly opened his eyes.

He quietly got up, opened the door and left.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a warehouse, which was the warehouse where Li Shenzhi's maggots couldn't get in.

Duke Habs raised his hand and tapped lightly.

"Duh!"

There was a slight knock on the door, which was unusually clear in the night.

"Squeak-"

The door opens without wind.

Duke Habs walked in with his feet raised.

It was indeed a farm tool warehouse, and the corners were full of tools stained with dirt.

Duke Habs walked deep into the warehouse, and a wooden floor quietly opened at some point, revealing an abyssal cavern that looked like a demon's mouth.

Habs seemed accustomed to it, and with a slight jump, leaped into it.

The wind howled in his ears, almost blowing the maggots out of his hair.

Fortunately, the strong wind lasted for less than two seconds, and an invisible force composed of dust lifted the Duke of Habs and allowed him to land smoothly.

It is an unnaturally formed underground cavern.

The smooth walls and floors around him that were not as good as human beings could carve made Li Shen subconsciously think of the stone palace that the creepers had devoured.

"Puff puff—"

With Harrens' arrival, an oil lamp automatically lit up, and if you looked closely, you could see a wisp of dust swimming between the oil lamps.

Every time you pass by an oil lamp, the wick naturally ignites.

Like a ghost, not a ghost.

"Duke Harrons, isn't it a good time for you to come over now?"

A ghostly voice came from the depths of the cavern.

I saw a man who was shrouded in a black robe and couldn't distinguish between men and women, and walked out.

"It's okay, that bunch of garbage will never be found here. Oh, what about my little darling? I can't wait to meet her! ”

Duke Habs shuddered, his voice trembling.

For the sake of the ultimate blasphemous pleasure, he even exercised in advance.

Of course, it is more that he has long been unable to hold back his desires and has to vent in advance.

"Don't worry, your stuff has been welcoming you."

The black-robed man stepped out of the way, revealing the pitch-black corridor behind him.

Seeing this, Duke Habs ran in excitedly.

The black-robed man tilted his head slightly, looking at the stumbling back of Duke Habs, and the hood of his hood, which had always been shrouded in darkness, was slightly raised, revealing a rotten face and a pair of pale and swollen eyes.

Well, we can't wait any longer, tonight we call for "great beings who should not exist in this world"!

As for this pathetic maggot dominated by pleasure, it's time to sell it to the blasphemous witches who manipulate lust.
