The last few months have been the most annoying rainy season of the year in Mangcang Mountain, and this year's rainy season seems to have more rain and lasted longer......

However, even if the rain in the sky is always blowing and falling non-stop, in the misty silk rain curtain, the local residents can often see a figure holding an umbrella and walking in the rain these days - he is Song Che, the magistrate who shoulders the heavy responsibility of solving the case.

Due to the astonishing discovery of the two hunters in the back mountain yesterday afternoon, the originally foggy case was covered with a layer of inky smoke...... Invisibly, it added more pressure to Song Che, who hosted the case.

The bizarre rumors about the "wolf demon" in Mangcang Mountain spread ten or ten to hundreds, and it only took two or three days to spread out of Shushi Town, and now it has spread throughout Yongan County. As a result, in various towns and towns in Yongan County, those people who are usually good at telling right and wrong in the streets and alleys do not hesitate to add some "fierce information" to this strange thing, so that the rumors of "wolf demons" become more and more evil......

Early the next morning, Song Che, the official who received the tip, suddenly felt very anxious in his heart - because if such a bizarre rumor reached the ears of the state official, he would definitely be severely reprimanded by his boss! So what should be done for now? Song Che secretly felt annoyed in his heart: This time he came to Shushi Town on business, and his journey was really unsettled and rising again!

Song Che, who felt that his head was a little big, walked up and down in an alley next to the guard with his hands behind his back...... Just when his thoughts were very confused, he suddenly raised his head suddenly—he almost bumped into someone! Who is the other party? Kong Rong, the head of the guard.

At this time, Kong Rong's face was full of bruises, and he looked angry, as if someone owed him half a penny.

"Commander Kong? Why are you angry? Song Che asked bluntly.

"Hmph, what a kind of series that doesn't know what to do! He dared not come to the guard office for more than a day. Kong Rong slammed his fist into the wall next to him.

"This kind of sentry chief who usually looks old, how can this be like this now? Is this in line with his usual style? Song Che is still quite familiar with the person of the series, and at the moment he unconsciously asked out of professional sensitivity.

"Hmph, if it had been put in the past—I think he would dare?" Kong Rong, a martial artist, has always been rude and straightforward in his speech.

"In the past? He wouldn't dare? The truth here, Commander Kong—what do you say? Song Che sensed that Kong Rong had something to say, and it seemed that he had not finished speaking.

"Before...... In the past, he was a big-headed soldier, and if you lent him ten guts, he would not dare. Kong Rong suddenly realized that his mouth was too smooth, and he actually said that he had missed the "pot base", so he hurriedly prevaricated himself.

"Seed ......" Song Che relied on his intuition for many years to handle cases, and vaguely felt that in this kind of series, he should be able to find some clues to solve the case.

……

Since it would be difficult to catch the murderer for a while, after Qiu Laosi's bitter pleading, the yamen agreed that he would first bring back Qiu Laosi's remains to arrange for burial. In this way, in the bamboo forest outside the deserted village, another lonely grave was added.

As the day approached early and the mountain people returned to the village early, the surrounding mountains and forests were silent - except for the occasional birdsong, and the faint sound of leaves falling and falling on the ground.

At this moment, in front of the small earthen bag where Qiu Laoliu was quietly resting, a tall and thin man appeared. The old man respectfully burned three sticks of incense and knelt down to bow down to the dead soul. Then, silently, he crouched down again and incinerated a stack of paper money......

"Brother Qiu, stupid brother can't stand you!" The thin old man burst into tears, choked up and said, "The night before yesterday, I was the one who should have died." This person who quietly came to pay tribute to Qiu Lao Liu is the "Northern Tiger" Xin Chasing Tiger.

Xin Chaihu fell into a heartbroken situation for a while, and all he was thinking about at the moment was the scene in the middle of the night the day before yesterday......

More than 20 years ago, Xin Chaihu was stunned under the giant palm of a brown bear, desperately rescued Qiu Laoliu, who was already scared and half stupid. Since then, the two of them have become inseparable friends and have had a lifelong friendship.

At the third watch the night before, Xin Chaihu, who was tired, tired and hungry, carried a bamboo basket on his back and walked very the dangerous mountain road. Suddenly, a voice he was very familiar with sounded in the bushes next to him: "Second Brother Xin, why is this so?" ”

Xin Chaihu immediately distinguished that the other party was not an enemy or a friend, so he quietly replied: "How about borrowing light?" When he looked closely, he knew that he had met his old friend Qiu Lao Liu, and he couldn't help but be secretly glad in his heart.

So, Xin Chaihu went to Qiu Laoliu's small wooden house to watch the forest and rested for a while, and drank some water and ate some dry food. After asking the reason, Qiu Laoliu, who was enthusiastic about the ancient road, insisted on replacing his old friend and continued to hurry with a bamboo basket on his back in the bright place. At the same time, Xin Chaihu hid in the shadows and was responsible for escorting along the way.

In this way, the two old friends cooperated with each other, which also made Xin Chaihu exert his kung fu, and then he shot in succession - killing several "Yakshas" who had lurked in advance and intended to secretly kill them.

In that incomparably long dark night, the two old men supported each other and struggled forward, and before they knew it, they could already see the lights on the sentry tower in Soseki Town.

The moment he approached the edge of the light's range, Xin Chaihu's eyes keenly caught a dangerous cold light flickering somewhere nearby—so he quickly followed the trail to take precautions. However, that little bit of cold light always flickered away, and its trail was always erratic......

With years of bloody experience, Xin Chaihu knew in his heart that there should be a master of using crossbow arrows lurking not far away, and the other party was trying to confuse the opponent by constantly changing positions - it seems that he must be an experienced person! After understanding this, Xin Chaihu did not dare to slack off, and began to redouble his careful efforts to search for the traces of his opponent.

Just as there was an abnormal situation on Xin Chasing Tiger's side, at the same time, Qiu Lao Liu had already walked into the open space shrouded by the lights of the sentry tower......

The position of the shooter lurking in the forest moved farther and farther away, as if he was deliberately trying to lure Xin Chase Tiger away. For a while, it was really difficult for Xin Chaihu to take care of so much alone, and he also felt in his heart that there should be no chaos on the sentry tower.

Unexpectedly, a terrible scream instantly tore through the night sky, shattering the large heavy inky smoke, and the cold drizzle began to fall again......
