After returning to the city, it was already dark, and Yin Tiancheng was suspicious of what he said to Bai Feilong, so he asked the young catcher to secretly investigate another day to confirm whether what this liar said was true.

After the two broke up in the city, Yin Tiancheng went home to sleep.

The next morning, while still asleep, he was awakened by a loud knock at the door, and when he got up to see it, he found that several of his colleagues from the yamen had come to visit him.

After a few words of greeting with them, a few more catchers came to visit.

It didn't take much time, but most of my colleagues came in as if they had made an appointment.

Yin Tian's inadequate home suddenly became crowded, and he had to go to his neighbors to borrow chairs and stools so that his colleagues could have a place to sit.

Looking at their smiling faces and talking to himself in a stammering tone, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but wonder a little, and only after a few simple chats did he know what was going on.

It turned out that the young catcher went to the yamen early this morning to report and gave two hundred taels of gold to everyone, and these guys saw that Yin Tiancheng came back with oil and water as soon as he went out, and generously distributed it to everyone, and they were grateful, so they all came to his house to express their gratitude.

At the same time, he is also taking the opportunity to curry favor with Yin Tiancheng, hoping that he can take himself to use it next time he runs an errand.

Yin Tiancheng couldn't help sneering, and thought: "You snobbies, when I didn't mix up before, I was already worthy of me if I didn't stumble, but today I actually swarmed to offer my affection, the world is really cold, and people's hearts are not ancient." ”

He pretended to be polite and sent them away after a perfunctory conversation with his colleagues, and when he was ready to enter the yagong to bid farewell to Lord Lin and go to Ganzao Mountain, the young catcher who had gone to Baiyun Temple with him yesterday came to his home.

Yin Tiancheng hurriedly closed the door and asked him about the things he explained to him yesterday: "How is it going?"

The young catcher thought that he was asking about the distribution of the spoils, so he hurriedly took out twenty taels of gold from his arms and stuffed it into his hand and said, "Yin Zhutou, this is your share, my brother has already prepared it." ”

"So much?"

Yin Tiancheng was a little crying and laughing, although he was a poor ghost, and the money he had taken for a few years was not worth the money at present, but he no longer valued yellow and white things.

After all, Yin Tiancheng is no longer what it used to be, as long as he can copy a large number of other people's spells, he has the strength to make everyone look up, no matter where he goes, are you afraid that there will be no money to spend?

So he took out ten taels of gold and handed it to the catcher, and said, "I don't need so much, you can use these to supplement your family." ”

"How does this work!"

The mouth was prevaricating, but the hand that caught the gold had already expressed his true thoughts, and he stuffed the gold into his arms while pretending to refuse.

Yin Tiancheng smiled faintly and said, "I was going to look for you in the yamen, but since I came, I will work hard, and go to Ganzao Mountain with me." ”

"Yin Zhutou, you can't leave now!"

The young catcher said in a hurry: "Lord Lin specially asked me to invite you back to the yamen. ”

"Something happened to the yali?"

"It's not just an accident, it's a big thing. Catch quickly and whispered: "You don't know yet, Wang Yuan's corpse has mutated! It, it seems to have become a monster!"

"What?"

Yin Tiancheng realized the seriousness of the problem, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he rode the fast horse and returned to the county office with the catcher.

As soon as he arrived at the Yali, Yin Tiancheng handed over the horses to the others to deal with, and he walked quickly towards the morgue.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the stench of burnt corpses, Yin Tiancheng covered his nose and asked the servant who was doing things inside: "What's the matter?"

He pointed to Wang Yuan's corpse and said, "Yin Zhutou, look!"

Yin Tiancheng turned around to look, and immediately found that Wang Yuan's body on the platform was half charred.

He immediately scolded the servant angrily: "Don't you know the truth that the dead are great, why do you burn his body?"

"It wasn't burned by villains. ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then explained what had happened.

It turned out that Ding Ming was greedy for merit, and seeing that Chu Fangxiong sneaked into the yali to steal Wang Yuan's corpse regardless of his life, he guessed that this corpse was hiding extremely important clues.

But after several searches, he failed to find any useful clues, so he guessed that Wang Yuan may have realized that his life was not guaranteed, so he swallowed useful clues into his stomach to prevent being discovered by the murderer.

After thinking about this, Ding Ming had a crooked heart and directly cut open the belly of the deceased with a knife.

When he put his hand into his abdomen and groped for a long time, he still didn't find any foreign objects.

This made Ding Ming realize his mistake, and in order to cover up the private autopsy, he simply burned the corpse, so as not to give people a handle.

Hearing this, Yin Tiancheng gritted his teeth in anger, and scolded again: "This Ding Ming is too bastard, it is completely insufficient to achieve things, and there are more than failures!"

He was about to go to Lin Chengen to explain the matter and ask him to give Ding Ming the corresponding punishment, but he heard the servant stop him and said: "Yin Zhutou, don't be in a hurry to leave, the corpse was supposed to be burned to ashes, but a strange thing happened after half of the burning, so Ding Zhutou asked the villain to burn out the flames and save the half of the corpse." ”

"You mean the corpse has mutated?"

Yin Tiancheng's heart moved, remembered what the catcher said to him, and hurriedly walked to the platform to check it carefully.

This look suddenly surprised him, at this moment, only the chest and half of Wang Yuan's corpse were still well preserved, but the remaining legs were no longer human legs, but beast legs with sharp claws!

Turning his gaze to his chest again, although the surface was charred black, Yin Tiancheng had already noticed that it was not the residue of the burned clothes, but the traces left by some kind of fur after it caught fire.

Shocked, Yin Tiancheng tentatively touched the chest of the corpse with his hand, and immediately felt that the skin was extremely rough, not like human skin at all, but more like the fur of a fierce beast.

"The little ones have looked at the organs in the bodies of the deceased, and they are completely different from us humans. Therefore, I boldly speculate that this Wang Yuan is a monster hidden in the world, and was inadvertently burned by Ding Zhutou with a fire to reveal his original form, and the villain thinks that ......"

After making the next words, Yin Tiancheng couldn't listen to a word.

His thoughts began to blur, and all that came to his mind was his previous experience with Wang Yuan.

This taciturn middle-aged man lives alone in an old bungalow, although he is idle, he has never done a bad thing in his life, and he often goes to help when his neighbors are in trouble, so Yin Tiancheng admires his character and treats him as a friend.

At the same time, seeing that he likes to deal with the three sects and nine streams, and has accumulated a lot of contacts, Yin Tiancheng often asks him for information about thieves.

But every time he paid for the information, Wang Yuan refused to accept it.

In the past, Yin Tiancheng thought that he valued righteousness, but now he has come to his senses, it turns out that he is a monster, and he doesn't need these things at all.

Thinking of this, Yin Tiancheng only felt that the cold sweat on his back flowed out, and he realized how superficial his previous concept of not believing in ghosts and gods was.

Thinking about it, Yin Tiancheng's heart beat faster, and suddenly he found something strange: since Wang Yuan is a monster, what is his purpose in calling himself to go to the abandoned thatched house before he dies?

He said that he had a secret to tell him, but when Yin Tiancheng went there, Wang Yuan had already been killed by the murderer.

What kind of important secret is it that causes the murderer to kill people before himself?

With such a speculation in his heart, Yin Tiancheng felt that everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation, but new doubts immediately popped up in his mind.

And this new problem made Yin Tiancheng's body tremble a little uncontrollably.

Regardless of whether Wang Yuan is a demon or some other inhuman monster, the fact that he has been able to blend in Fengcheng for a long time shows that he has a more powerful ability than humans.

In that case, why did he tell the secret hidden in his heart to a mortal like himself before he died, instead of telling those who were capable of it?

It must be known that Yin Tiancheng had not experienced adventures at that time, let alone knowing spells, and even thieves with slightly higher martial arts could not beat them.

Why did Wang Yuan trust him so much, wasn't he afraid that the murderer would kill more people and make this secret never known?

The man in black who killed Wang Yuan, Yin Tiancheng had seen his terrifying strength with his own eyes.

If this guy appeared in front of him at this moment, he knew that it would still be difficult for him to subdue the other party, and on the contrary, he would probably die in the hands of this man in black.

"Alas, there will be demons in the death of the country!"

I don't know when, Ding Ming walked into the morgue, and when he saw Yin Tiancheng looking at the corpse in a daze, he said this sentence in a weird way.

As soon as he saw his appearance, Yin Tiancheng was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and said sharply: "Ding Ming, don't bewitch the people here!"

"I know you have a bit of a friendship with the deceased, but don't forget, if it weren't for Ben Catcher's cleverness, you wouldn't know that he was a monster who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!"

"Nonsense!"

Yin Tiancheng couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward to grab Ding Ming's collar, ready to beat him up.

"Oh no, Yin Tiancheng is going to beat someone!"

Ding Ming immediately screamed like a pig, after seeing Yin Tiancheng's strength, how dare he fight alone with the other party.

Lin Chengen rushed over when he heard the noise, and as soon as he saw this frame, he immediately shouted: "Stop me, what kind of system are you!"

Yin Tiancheng let go of his hand as he said, but his eyes at Ding Ming were still angry.

"In order to prevent an uproar, I blocked all news about the deceased. ”

Lin Chengen sighed and said, "The top priority at the moment is to solve the case! Otherwise, if the matter spreads, the entire Fengcheng will be in a panic!"

Yin Tiancheng settled down and told the county magistrate about Wang Yuan's appointment to meet him that day.

After listening to this, Lin Chengen asked the people present: "It seems that the case is very complicated, you are all my henchmen, do you have a good way to solve the case?"

Ding Ming said smartly: "Master, we might as well release a fake news, just say that Yin Tiancheng knows this secret, and then wait for the net in the yamen, just sit back and wait for the murderer to throw himself into the net." ”

Yin Tiancheng glanced at him, and said in a sneering voice: "The murderer killed Wang Yuan to prevent the secret from leaking out, if I knew the secret in advance, then what did Wang Yuan ask me to do in the suburbs? Are you as stupid as you as a murderer, and don't you use your brains to do things?"

was robbed of a few words by Yin Tiancheng, and Ding Ming didn't dare to say anything.

Yin Tiancheng thought for a while, and then said: "This case is very strange, Lord Lin, why don't you let me go to the scene of the crime to investigate again and see if I can find some useful clues." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you. ”

After all, Ding Ming often makes troubles in his work, and Lin Chengen doesn't dare to hand over such a complicated case to him.

Before leaving, Lin Chengen specially advised: "Tiancheng, go early and return early, I still have you here." ”

Yin Tiancheng then took the catcher who had been to Baiyun Temple and went out of the city together.
