After the three of them had their fill, they called the boss to settle the bill.

As he was about to leave, a voice rang out from behind: "Good morning, the three of you, meet again." ”

Luci turned around and saw that the militiaman he had seen last night and his two companions had just sat down. He smiled and said, "Good morning, we're about to go to the militia to thank you." ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, that house has been empty for a long time, and it's naturally a good thing to be able to help the three of them." The militia smiled.

"Did you not sleep all night? Often day and night are reversed, and there is sadness. Lu Qi sat down again, glanced at the faces of the three militiamen, and said.

"Alas, there is no way, the village has stepped up patrols, it's all like this." The militiaman who accosted him sighed, "Let's get some food and get back to catch up on sleep." ”

At this time, Akali also sat down and asked, "Is something going on in the village?" Let's talk about it and see if we can help. ”

The militia took a sip of the hot soup brought by the boss, and then said, "I can't hide it." Recently, many families in the village have lost their belongings, many of which are valuable. Fortunately, seven days ago, the thief sneaked into someone else's house in the middle of the night and was discovered by the owner.

In a fit of rage, he directly shot and hurt people, if it weren't for someone passing by nearby to help, I'm afraid that a tragedy would happen. The thief escaped unharmed, and has not been found.

There are suspicions that he may have fled from the village, but it is also possible that he is hiding in the village and waiting for the limelight to pass, but in any case the village has stepped up night patrols. ”

There was also a gossip around the people, who listened to it for a while, and also interjected at this moment.

"My family lives nearby, and when I heard the movement that night, I got out of bed and rushed over. Mensa's wound was not light, the wound was near the chest, and the thief was ruthless, and it looked like he had killed people before. ”

"I've heard about it, too."

"If you want me to say that he may still be hiding in the village."

Turning their heads, everyone around them started talking about it.

Luki and Akali looked at each other, and she said, "In that case, let's see if we can help, and if we don't find it, don't be too weird." ”

"How dare you be weird." Minbian shook his head and thanked him first, "It's already an honor for the village that the three are willing to help, and that thief is very good at hiding, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find." The only clue is that it should be a man, with a lot of strength, and he is about seven or eight meters tall. ”

If it was easy to find, the village would not have seen a single human hair in seven days.

Soon, bidding farewell to several militiamen, the three walked on the road.

Akali said, "The first person to look for is him, if this guy is still hiding in the village." ”

Hearing this, Ahri nodded slightly: "I will be serious." ”

But when it comes to looking for it, there is actually no clue, no clues to speak of, and I don't know where to start at all.

After all, what he was looking for was a thief who had been hiding seven days ago, and he didn't even have any information about his appearance.

But this also just gave Ahri a stage to perform.

In her eyes, the human soul has a distinct color. Just as no snowflake is exactly the same, so is the soul.

Each soul is unique and has its own characteristics.

She is adept at discovering the nuances of the soul and currently relies on her sense of smell.

What she smelled was not the various smells floating in the world, but the special smells that belonged to the soul.

It's like Luki's soul, the fragrance makes her drool.

Akali's soul is also full of fragrance.

Staying with them, Ahri can be said to be very patient.

There are also souls that exude a gloomy aura, and you can feel the evil thoughts rushing to your face just by smelling it. The smell that comes out is naturally not good, and this kind of soul has been defiled.

Aside from the body, the soul is what a person is.

So basically, the smell of the soul also determines a person's good and evil.

At present, Ahri is not able to distinguish every soul by smell alone, and she may not be able to smell anything at a distance.

In this way, the three of them walked around the village, and in the blink of an eye, a morning passed.

Time came to the afternoon.

"Now the number of homeless people has gone from one to three."

Luki yawned as he walked.

Akali glared at her, and she looked at Ahri and said, "Have you found anything?" ”

Ahri shook his head and said a little discouraged, "No." ”

"Yes, then keep looking, there's still time." Akali didn't say much, and she didn't rush.

From the beginning to the end, she never complained to Ahri, nor expressed a word of doubt.

Even if you don't believe it in your heart, it's definitely not what you should say at this time.

"Erniu, I'm going to fish again."

"Erniu, I'm back so early today."

"Have you eaten at noon?"

Not far away, the sound of greetings and greetings sounded, and nearby neighbors were talking to a man.

The man was carrying a fish basket, about thirty years old, with dark skin, and he looked very honest.

Wen Yan smiled and said, "Yes, today's harvest is very good, so I came back early." After a brief dismissal at noon, I'll go back and clean up first. I'll bring you a few fish later. ”

"Oh, how can I get back what I asked you for. You can just eat it yourself. ”

"yes, let's take the fish to the market and sell it."

"When the time comes, save some money to beg for a daughter-in-law."

The neighbors all smiled and refused, and the eyes that looked at Erniu were also very kind and kind.

Er Niu smiled innocently: "I can't sell it for a few dollars, everyone is a neighbor, and I can't eat so many fish alone." ”

The guy named Erniu seems to be very generous and generous, and he is quite loved by the neighbors around him, and finally accepts Erniu's kindness, but he will also give him something back in return.

It seems to be a scene of harmony between the neighbors in the village.

The three of them didn't pay much attention and quickly looked away.

The second cow carried a fish basket on his back and passed by the three of them.

Ahri's expression suddenly changed, and from Erniu's body, she smelled a bad smell.

Whether the soul is clean or dirty has nothing to do with whether or not you have killed someone, or what you have done.

If a good person kills ten bad people, then his soul must be dirty?

If one bad guy kills ten bad guys, then his soul must be clean?

Nor can something as profound as the soul be expressed through two simple things. If you insist on saying it, then it may be the embodiment of a person's inner world.

A soul that exudes evil thoughts can only mean that that person must also have evil thoughts in his heart.

At the same time, evil in the heart may not be manifested in the soul. Because his evil thoughts may not have had time to amplify.

Good souls can become bad, and bad souls can become good.

All in all, the soul is a complex thing.

Ahri didn't know why she had this special ability, but she knew she had to put it to good use.

In any case, the smell she just smelled would not be fake.

The evil thoughts floating from Er Niu's body made her feel suppressed breathing, there was only one possibility, he had already carried out the evil thoughts, which caused the soul to start emitting a bad smell.

Ahri hurriedly reached out and grabbed Luqi and Akali's.

The two also stopped in confusion.

Ahri whispered: "The second cow just now"

Akali's face changed: "He has a problem?" ”

Ahri nodded slightly.

Lu Qi's gaze looked towards Erniu's back.

He naturally doesn't have the ability to distinguish souls, as far as the second cow in his vision is concerned, he is a very popular and kind young man.

In the same way, the two oxens that Akali saw were the same.

She was really a little skeptical of Ahri's judgment, what kind of bad person could such a person be?

Although she was skeptical, Akali didn't say it, and she knew that she couldn't just look at the surface when looking at a person.

A stark example is the one next to him, at first he looked at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, harmless to humans and animals, who would have thought that a mouth would be a lie, and his personality was still so. Damn it.

Now is also the time to test Ahri's abilities to see if they are real, and Akali decides to do it first.

"It's not good to do it here, let's follow first."

Her eyes flashed and she made a decision.

So, the three of them changed direction and began to secretly follow Erniu.

Erniu obviously didn't notice it, and all the way he was smiling and talking to the people around him, or nodding his head.

In the same way, the people around him seem to have a good impression of him.

Soon, Er Niu returned to his home, where he lived in a small tree house with vines wrapped around the roof, and it was very clean.

He went back to the house and lit a fire, as if he was going to stew a fish to eat.

It doesn't look like there's anything suspicious.

Akali looked at it twice, but chose to do it directly. The figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it had appeared in the house.

"Who's coming?"

When Erniu heard the movement, he thought it was a neighbor who came to the door, but when he turned around, he saw Akali who was treating him coldly, and was shocked: "Who is you?" ”

Akali didn't talk nonsense, and directly lifted the hook and sickle and put it on Erniu's neck: "Don't move, otherwise you will seal your throat with a knife." ”

Erniu was so frightened that he trembled, his eyes became frightened, and when he saw the two people following behind Akali, he asked with some fear, "What are you going to do?" I don't have anything of value here."

"I don't think so, a lot of valuable things have been lost in the village." Akali stared at Er Niu with cold eyes, and then asked in a cold voice, "Say, where did you hide them?" ”

Hearing this, Er Niu was stunned for a moment, his face full of fear and confusion: "What is it?" What is hidden, I don't know, are you talking about the thief who stole something a while ago? ”

His expression didn't look like a fake, and Akali continued, "Don't play dumb, we've already investigated, and the thief is you." ”

"It's really not me, I don't know anything, why is it me?" Erniu was about to cry at this moment, his face was pale from fear, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.

Looks like an innocent ordinary person.

Seeing this, Rao is Akali was a little shaken.

She does have the means of interrogation, but those methods are very harmful to people, what if the trial is wrong?

The reason why I am so intimidated at this moment is to see if I can say it.

can look at Erniu's performance, she can't find anything suspicious.

"Let me try."

Ahri said at this point and stepped forward.

Seeing this, Akali moved out of the way.

Ahri took off his cloak and looked at Erniu with his eyes: "Look into my eyes." ”

Erniu subconsciously looked at her, and was stunned for a moment, the fear and fear on his face dissipated instantly, leaving only the infatuation of sluggishness and obsession, and he thought even more in his heart.

How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

If she wants to, what if she pulls out her heart and liver?

And looking at Ahri just for a glance made Erniu look like this. For the first time, Akali on the side felt the terrible charm in her.

If you think about it carefully, even she has a hard time resisting, let alone these ordinary people.

Looking at the sluggish Erniu, Ahri asked, "Are you the thief who stole in the village?" ”

Erniu opened his mouth and was about to answer, when he saw that his eyes suddenly sobered up, and he became frightened and scared again: "It's really not me, I didn't do anything, please let me go." ”

Ahri couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that his ability suddenly failed, and he didn't understand what was happening.

Akali was also confused.

Lu Qi felt the fluctuation of magic just now, obviously there was something on Erniu's body that made Erniu regain his senses.

After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Let me come." ”

"What are you going to do?" Akali asked, puzzled.

Even Ahri's methods didn't work, and she didn't think there was anything useful for Luki.

If Erniu is really an ordinary person, and they do something to hurt him.

I'm afraid it's not a righteous person, but an unscrupulous person who oppresses the weak.

"Just look at it."

Lu Qi raised his hand and landed directly towards Erniu.

Erniu was startled, then rolled his eyes and fainted.

In a blink of an eye, when he woke up, he found that he had been tied up, and the three people in front of him were still in front of him.

It's just that the one who interrogated him became the man.

"Tell me, where are you hiding all the stolen things?"

Lu Qi asked with a calm look and a gentle attitude.

"I'm really not that thief." Erniu was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his tone was helpless and fearful.

"Huh", I saw a flash of coldness, Er Niu immediately noticed, his left arm hurt, subconsciously looked, only to see blood sprayed there, and a hand had fallen to the ground.

"Ahh My hand!! ”

He screamed in pain, and his face turned extremely pale.

"Where?" Calm down, Luki asked again.

"I said it wasn't me! Why do you do this to me, my hand? Erniu cried loudly and wept bitterly.

When the words fell, Lu Qi slashed out with another sword, and this time it was Erniu's right hand that fell to the ground.

"Ahhh Erniu struggled in pain, and his scream was very miserable: "It's not me, it's really not me, please, let me go!" ”

With the third sword, Lu Qi directly cut off Erniu's entire arm.

"Ahh!!hh

Erniu screamed frantically and almost fainted, but he couldn't faint, and the intense pain tortured his body and mind.

What scared him even more was the demon in front of him!

He chose to do it without saying a word, cutting off his arm and right hand, how could there be such a cruel person?

Erniu was really about to collapse, his face was full of snot and tears, and seeing Lu Qi raise his sword again, he broke down and shouted: "I said, I said!" I said to them all, "Please, don't cut it again!" ”

Lu Qi stopped his movements and remained silent, waiting for Erniu to answer himself.

"I buried all those things under the old trees outside the village. Waiting to sell it to those black merchants for a large sum of money in the future, I really know that I am wrong, please, let me go! ”

Erniu was really scared, and while enduring the pain, he said it truthfully.

He just wants to live now, to survive from this demon.

Lu Qi asked calmly, "What did you do before?" ”

"I" Erniu hesitated for a moment, and the next moment he screamed again: "Ahhh ”

With just a moment's hesitation, Lu Qi directly swung his sword and cut off his right arm, and both of his arms were cut off.

"Don't, don't do it again! I say! I used to be a robber, but after being scattered, I came to this village. I'm not a good thing, I deserve to die, but please, don't kill me"

At this moment, Erniu finally took off his honest mask and kept begging for mercy, just begging Lu Qi to spare his life.

"What's the magic on you?" Lucci asked again.

"It's a talisman I begged from Gu Yuanzhen" Er Niu immediately replied, and begged weakly: "Please, help me heal my wounds first, I'm dying"

In the next second, he saw that Lu Qi and the two women next to him disappeared in place, and he couldn't help but be stunned in place.

The screen turns.

Outside.

"You heard it, this guy has all been recruited."

Luki looked at Akali next to him.

"You" Akali gave her a strange look, and she still didn't know what Luki had done.

After he knocked Er Niu unconscious, it didn't take long for Er Niu to recruit all of them.

And listening to the heart-wrenching screams from time to time, as if she had been tortured in some way, she really wanted to ask Luch what he had done.

But he still held back and looked at Erniu, who was lying on the ground, pale and full of fear: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"It's not a big problem, it's just a nightmare."

Lu Qi smiled faintly, in order not to accidentally hurt the good people, he could only use this trick, which proved to be very effective.

He said it lightly, but Akali never believed that it was so simple, and her heart was tickled as if she had been scratched by a cat.

But there are more important things to deal with at the moment, and she glanced at Erniu again: "Whether what this guy said is true or not, you just need to go under that ancient tree to check it out." ”

By now, she was actually convinced that Erniu was the thief.

I didn't expect that under the honest appearance, there was such an evil soul hidden.

This made Akali even more convinced that you can't just look at people by their appearance.

Soon, the three of them woke up Erniu with water again, and after waking up, Erniu found that he did not have a broken arm, and he was so excited that he almost fainted again.

But when he saw Lu Qi, he was still as terrified as if he had seen a demon.

In the end, the location of the ancient tree was honestly explained, and the three of them successfully found the valuables he had stolen, as well as some other valuables.

Apparently it was the trophy of Erniu when he was a robber.

In the end, the three of them handed over Erniu to the village militia.

The three people in the militia team who had seen it in the morning were full of surprise, but they didn't expect that they had just asked the three of Lu Qi in the morning, and there would be results in the afternoon.

It's really fast.

At the same time, when they learned that Erniu was the thief, they were also a little incredulous.

But Erniu honestly explained his criminal journey, which also made the villagers who gathered sigh.

I can't help but sigh, I really know people, faces, and hearts.

Who would have thought that Erniu, who is treated well on weekdays and is generous, honest and honest, turned out to be a vicious robber.

Because of the Noxian invasion, the village lost a lot of people, and after the war ended, many new faces came.

Erniu is one of them.

No one suspected him at all about the thief, because he was too honest, and he lived by fishing on weekdays, and often gave fish generously.

If it weren't for the three of Lu Qi, I'm afraid the people in the village would have been hidden for a long, long time.

Although Ionia is not regulated by national law, it does not mean that it is a land of lawlessness.

This land has long had rules and regulations that are practical among the people, and there are people and places who are responsible for dealing with these incidents.

For example, in some towns, there are special meeting halls for judicial trials, and there are also respected and respected elders and magistrates who are in charge of trials.

The most heinous sins will be punished as they deserve.
