Ah Tian covered his chest, the injured place was already purple, as long as he breathed, it would hurt, and the corners of his mouth were still bloodshot, "Fortunately, it is the late stage of Qi Refining Realm, there should be no problem." ”

"That's right! It's a little different from the monsters we've encountered before! His face was blank, "Judging from the reaction of the token, this monster may be difficult to deal with." ”

"You're right, that thing has a good heart, let us go."

Ah Tian lowered his head, his body was still trembling subconsciously, he was glad that he had escaped death, "This matter has to be told to the hall master, and we will definitely not be able to deal with it with our ability." ”

"Then it's better to report directly to the minister!"

Ah Tiangang wanted to say that it was overstepping the ranks, which was impossible, but when he thought that Si Zheng had asked Ah Yun to go to the autopsy, and also appointed him to investigate the case, it was not surprising that he could skip the ranks.

Li Huaiyun stared at the already calm water, "This monster is very special, maybe, what we see is only a part of it?" ”

"Part of it? Why? Ah Tian asked curiously.

"Remember the knife you toss?"

"Hmm!"

"The knife passed through the black hair, and then, a bloody mouth appeared in the black hair, this kind of monster must have other forms."

"Transfiguration Monsters?"

"Possibly!"

This kind of monster beast survives by devouring all kinds of living beings, including other types of monsters, without any ability to think, and this monster beast is summoned by a special medium, and very few people have been able to control this kind of monster beast so far.

Li Huaiyun frowned, "The most incomprehensible thing is how this monster hides in the water!" Who the hell and by what means put this monster in this? ”

Ah Tian was also a little dazed when he heard it, but he knew that this case was quite dangerous now, and the injury just now made him feel palpitations.

He still has to support his parents, marry the woman he loves, and have a few children, but he doesn't want to die here.

Death was so close to him, which made him start to be afraid, but he was Li Huaiyun's partner, and now he could only follow hard.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the silent and dim surroundings, "Let's get out of here first and report to Lord Yuan Duo!" ”

"Don't worry, there's still a little bit at the moment, there are other things to do!"

"Ahh Is there anything else? I think it's better to hurry up! Ah Tian said hurriedly, he clenched the saber at his waist, hoping to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.

Li Huaiyun glanced at Ah Tian, who looked flustered, after being injured, he has become a little timid now, but he can't be blamed for this, whoever encounters this will be like this.

How can there be a stunned young man like him.

"Liu Zhutou has already moved the body to it, and I still have to do an autopsy."

"Hmmm! Then hurry up and get up! "Ah Tian doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

The two left the water prison and saw Liu Zhutou outside the prison, with a wooden plank beside him and covered with a white cloth.

In order not to embarrass Liu Zhutou, he and Ah Tian asked Liu Zhutou to leave first, and the two of them carried the plank together and came to the courtyard in the courtyard.

The courtyard of the county government is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the sun shines on the water surface of the pond sparkling, but in this kind of place full of spring colors, in a stone pavilion, there are two people standing in front of a stone table covered with white cloth, and a mutilated corpse is placed on it.

The white cloth was already stained with dark red blood, and there were still blood stains dripping down the white cloth onto the clean stone slab.

"Do you really want to have an autopsy here?" Ah Tian felt that something was wrong, "After this high county order knows, I'm afraid I will be furious, after all, it is in the county office!" ”

"Whatever! The Demon Slayer Division is responsible for investigating the case, even if it is the emperor's old son, he has to give way! ”

"Shh When Ah Tian heard Li Huaiyun's words, he immediately asked him to whisper, "The wall has ears, if it is heard, you will insult the saint, and you will be killed!" ”

"There's no one here, what's there to be afraid of!"

Li Huaiyun leaned over and carefully examined the mutilated corpse, having already taken a rough look underwater before.

Now if you look closely, you can see the skin of the wound that has turned purple, the severed limbs, half of the internal organs that have been bitten off, and the maggots are wriggling in some organs inside the body.

He touched the wound with his hand, and the teeth in the upper and lower jaws of the abyssal mouth were quite similar, all sharp and messy.

Ah Tian stood aside, looked at Li Huaiyun, who was not disgusted and smelly at all, and asked puzzledly, "This corpse has already become like this, why are you still carrying it out?" ”

"I'd like to find some other clues."

"Any other clues?"

"Yes, don't you feel something, something?"

Ah Tian looked dazed and even more confused, "What's strange?" ”

"The deceased was a thief, who committed theft at the home of an official of the Criminal Department, so I want to ask, is this a suspicion?"

"Ahh How suspicious is this? ”

"A thief is imprisoned in a water prison? Isn't it a bit too fuss,"

Li Huaiyun pointed to the ground, "There is usually only a place where people who have committed serious crimes or commit great treachery and evil, when is a petty thief and a habitual offender actually have to be arranged in a water prison!" ”

Ah Tian suddenly realized that something was wrong with this matter, such thieves are usually imprisoned in the upper prison with other prisoners.

"So, I have a guess," Li Huaiyun rubbed his thumb lightly, "the reason why I got this thief to the water prison is probably for a special medium." ”

Ah Tian immediately thought of what he said before, the transformation of demon beasts is the need for a medium, "You mean the dirty water in the water dungeon?" ”

"Yes!" Li Huaiyun nodded lightly, "I'm afraid that only that dirty water can make this monster infested." ”

"But the dirty water has basically not been replaced! The transfiguration beast didn't have a chance to get in. ”

The two of them fell into deep thought again.

After a while, Li Huaiyun stretched out his hand and moved his finger towards Ah Tian, "Give me the saber and let me cut this corpse, so it's more intuitive." ”

Ah Tian frowned, this saber was only created by him after spending a lot of silver taels, even if it was Li Huaiyun, his brother used it to cut the corpse, and he was not very happy in his heart.

He reluctantly pulled out his saber and handed it over, "This knife is quite expensive, you have to use it carefully, don't cut those bones." ”

"Oops! Of course I know, your saber cost a lot of money! And that's money you've been saving for a long time. ”

"It's good to know!"

"Brother, I will definitely protect it."

"Don't forget!"

"That's nature!" Li Huaiyun took the saber and glanced at the cyan knife handle, as well as the sharp knife edge, the material and craftsmanship of this knife are indeed not bad! But it still can't be compared to the short sword of Lord Yuan Helm.

But it's normal, after all, the identities of the two are not the same.

He straightened the corpse on the stone table, then used the blade to cut open the corpse, and after some examination, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

Could it be that my inference was wrong! He clenched the saber in his hand and stared at the corpse on the stone table.

In fact, Li Huaiyun also has a speculation, that carrier is the thief himself, the monster is hidden in the thief's body through some means, and then appears at a specific time and bites the thief to death.

In this way, all suspects are eliminated, and only people will point the finger at the monster and think that the monster did it.

The reason for killing this guy must be very simple, this thief knows something, he pursed his lips, he can be eliminated in this way, obviously the secret he knows should be not small.

Li Huaiyun speculated that the thief must have seen something or stole something in the home of an official of the Ministry of War, so he was killed.

In this case, isn't the most suspicious official of the military department!

During his meticulous examination, he found that there were other marks on the body, for which he bent down again and examined them.

He found that there was a fairly obvious mark on the waist of the abdomen, obviously this person has pinned something to the waist all the year round, judging from the size of the trace, it may be an identity token or a special jewelry.

And such a thing is obviously able to prove a person's identity.

Li Huaiyun looked at the corpse and shook his head slightly, it seems that he can only understand this theft case a little!

This case is really troublesome.

"That's it!" Li Huaiyun frowned, ready to return the saber to Ah Tian, but accidentally found that the back of the corpse's head also had a slight bulge, and there was a scar on it.

Judging from the degree of healing of the scar, it must have been a while!

Li Huaiyun withdrew his arm and clenched the saber in his hand again, "Wait a minute! There's still something to do. ”

"Huh?" Ah Tian was a little confused by this sudden incident, he looked at the blood-stained saber, and his heart was ten thousand unwilling, and he couldn't wait to take the saber back immediately. "Then hurry up!"

"Brother, don't worry! I'm not going to break the saber! It's a big deal to wait for the development in the future, and then I'll give you a good one. ”

The question is, do I still lend you money? When will you be developed, Ah Tian complained in his heart, he really regarded the other party as his good brother, and he didn't bother to care about these things anymore.

Li Huaiyun took the saber and cut the scalp directly from the scar, a move that frightened Ah Tian on the side.

"You... What are you doing? Cutting the human brain directly is a big taboo!. ”

"Whatever! Just find the clues! Li Huaiyun responded, he directly peeled off the rotten scalp from the entire head.

Sure enough, he found that there were two paper talismans pasted on this skull, and the patterns on them were a little different from the paper talismans on the heart in the case he had dealt with before, but he felt that this should be the same origin.

At this moment, there was the sound of neat footsteps outside the courtyard.

"This is it!" Gao Xian Ling shouted loudly in the disgusting voice.

Li Huaiyun stopped what he was doing, looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, and saw Gao Xianling, who was walking into the courtyard with a group of heavily armed guards.

The man at the head was eight feet tall, with a muscular body, a beard, and the armor on his body glowed silvery.

Walking with a tiger, the majestic face wears a strong killing intent, and the low-level monsters will automatically avoid it when they see it.

Gao Xian Ling followed behind, his eyes fixed on the stone pavilion where the two of them were, and his angry appearance was particularly obvious.

They walked over and saw the corpse on the stone table, except for Gao Xianling, everyone else was expressionless, as if they had already seen this kind of scene.

"I was ordered by the secretary of the military department to bring back the corpse of the water prison." The man said in a gruff voice, and he waved directly at the people behind him, motioning for them to do something and retrieve the corpse in the water prison.

"The people of the military department!" Ah Tian turned sideways and said softly, "This person's cultivation is far above us, it must be difficult to mess with!." ”

Li Huaiyun was at a loss, this case had already been handed over to the Demon Slayer Division, how could the people from the Ministry of War still intervene?
