Chapter 72: Arrest Ruyi
"My lord, I'll come."
Seeing Liu Zifeng standing outside the courtyard gate with an anxious face, Wang Zhutou said softly, "Brothers have experience, don't worry." ”
I saw that the three people behind Wang Zhukuai had already drawn their sabers, reflecting the cold moonlight.
Once there is a problem, this group of strong men will rush in as soon as possible and take down the culprit.
"Knock on the door."
Seeing that his subordinates were ready, Liu Zifeng gave an order.
"Knock Knock"
A muffled sound sounded, and Wang Zhu knocked on the wooden door quickly and heavily.
After a few moments, there was silence in the courtyard, and there was no sound.
Wang Zhukuai subconsciously looked at Liu Zifeng and asked for instructions.
"Go on."
Liu Zifeng trusted Su Qingtian's words, and he was determined to hide in this courtyard.
"Knock knock!"
This time, Wang Zhuhai increased the intensity of the door, and the wooden door made an extraordinarily clear sound, echoing in the quiet alleyway.
The surrounding neighbors were woken up one after another, and lights were lit up in several small courtyards.
Squeak.
The courtyard gate on the side opened, and the sleepy-eyed man poked out, and saw a group of officials and lords turning their heads to look at him, so frightened that they were busy closing the door, and they didn't dare to come out.
The other courtyards were awake, but this house was not moving, and now Wang Zhu was in a hurry, and he was afraid that people would run away, so he kicked the door open.
With a "bang", the catchers entered the courtyard one by one with a quick posture.
Rummaging around the places inside and outside the house where people can hide, looking for Ruyi's whereabouts.
In the end, they all gathered in front of the locked back room.
Liu Zifeng tilted his ears, the room was still quiet, and there was no sign of anyone.
Suddenly, he remembered Su Qingtian's instructions, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Quick, kick the door!"
Wang Zhutou stood in front of Liu Zifeng and kicked the door open again.
The moonlight reflected the terrifying sight of the house.
The woman with her hair was prostrate on the ground, crawling forward with one hand, and the moment she saw the person coming in the house, she was not frightened but exploded with a glimmer of hope.
She opened her mouth wide as if she wanted to say something, and her tearful eyes seemed to be crying for help, but in the end she could only utter a dry single tone.
The hand that was stretched out was coming in the direction of Wang Zhutou and the others, and the glimmer of hope was overwhelmed by intense fear.
I saw that in her wide open mouth, a pair of feet wearing embroidered shoes slowly stretched out, but her original feet disappeared, her waist was violently folded back, and the whole person showed a distorted posture on the ground.
It was as if she was devouring her own body.
This scene made the officials stand in place, not daring to step forward at all.
Liu Zifeng was blocked by the crowd and said anxiously, "What's the situation inside?!" ”
Could it be that he came one step too late, and Ruyi is already dead?!
"Your Excellency!"
Wang Zhuhai came back to his senses first, turned his head and snorted for a moment before saying to Liu Zifeng, "...... See for yourself. ”
Pushing the subordinates who were still stunned, Wang Yu quickly pushed away the crowd and let Liu Zifeng enter the inner room.
Looking at the expressions of his subordinates, and the faces of the rest of the people turned even whiter, Liu Zifeng knew that something strange must have happened in the house.
When Liu Zifeng entered the house, Ruyi's pair of calves in the house had all disappeared, replaced by her own calves that crawled out of her mouth.
Such a strange scene made Liu Zifeng's heart skip a beat, and he quickly took out the yellow talisman in his arms and handed it to Wang Zhutou.
"Stick this talisman on her, quick!"
The current situation was no longer taken care of, Wang Zhutou took the yellow talisman and rushed over, quickly and steadily sticking it to Ruyi's forehead.
"Zizi!"
The yellow talisman immediately made a sound, and black smoke came out from the position of the talisman, and the frightened Wang Zhutou retreated again and again.
The catchers in the house rushed out to protect Liu Zifeng.
Picking up the crowd, Liu Zifeng watched as the original pair of weird calves in Ruyi's mouth turned into a puddle of black water, vomiting vigorously from her mouth and nose.
The black water seeped into the ground and corroded a large area, and a disgusting smell filled the room.
Covering his mouth and nose, Liu Zifeng ordered someone to open the doors and windows in the house to disperse the smell.
"Thank you...... Thank you, sir. ”
Ruyi lay on the ground in her dying, and she looked at Liu Zifeng angrily.
"Bring the suspect Ruyi back to the Yamen!"
Although Huang Fu seemed to have lifted the spirit on Ruyi's body, Liu Zifeng was uneasy because of the evil sect here, and he urged everyone to take Ruyi away.
The woman who lost half her life showed no signs of struggle or quibble.
Since the government was able to find this, there must be substantial evidence, and she had no way to deny it.
Even if she died, she would rather be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market than be tortured to death by this demon-like spirit.
The catchers used the door panel to carry Ruyi out of the inner room, and only then could they see clearly by the bright moonlight in the courtyard.
The woman's disappeared legs reappeared on top of her.
The skin on the calves and feet was completely gone, and something had stripped them of their skin alive.
The lower half of the body was blurred with flesh and blood, and there was an unpleasant smell.
Wang Zhutou, who had seen many cases, couldn't help but be horrified, who was this woman, and she hadn't fainted after being subjected to such a cruel criminal law.
Liu Zifeng, who saw Ruyi's situation, immediately thought of the corpse of Miss Cheng in Gaofu.
Although he only glanced at it, he was completely sure that the other party's corpse was exactly the same as Ruyi.
It seems that the way this spirit kills people is to peel the victim's skin alive, causing the other party to bleed to death in pain.
Thinking of this cruel and harmful spirit, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The suspect was successfully arrested, and in order not to disturb the neighborhood, Liu Zifeng ordered people to withdraw from the courtyard quietly.
When the group left, no one noticed the wriggling human skin hiding in the dark corner.
Liu Zifeng ordered someone to go to Gao's house to notify the suspect to be arrested, and on the other hand, he took someone back to the yamen to prepare for interrogation overnight.
But Ruyi's injuries were too serious, and Liu Zifeng was afraid that before the case was clear, she would die of pain, so she hurriedly invited a doctor to treat Ruyi first.
Thinking of Miss Cheng's corpse, Liu Zifeng was uneasy and called him to check the wound together.
"Your Excellency."
After making an inspection, he returned to Liu Zifeng.
"The skin of this woman's legs and feet was indeed peeled by life, and the skinning technique was extremely skillful, only the skin was removed and the flesh and blood inside were not hurt."
Speaking of this, he frowned slightly and said with a slight apprehension, "My lord, this injury is completely consistent with the scar on the corpse of Miss Cheng Family, my subordinates have never seen such a strange modus operandi for so many years, and I haven't found any useful clues." ”
In fact, I want to say that this case is not very human, but the Zhaozhao Court here naturally cannot be said to be ghosts and gods.
Only Liu Zifeng understood in his heart that this was indeed an inhuman case.
"Your Excellency."
When the doctor on the side heard this, he also turned around and prayed.
"In addition to the skin that has been peeled off, this woman is also infected with poison, which this poisonous villain has never seen before."
"Is there a way to alleviate it?"
Liu Zifeng thought that the little girl had said that this poison can only be cured by a kind of grass, but he still asked without giving up.
