The watchman was so frightened by the sudden gloomy voice that he sat down on the ground.

His body struggled backwards, but the muddy embroidered shoes did not move, but slowly moved forward.

He took a closer look, and the flesh and blood of the feet on the embroidered shoes were blurred, revealing the white bones of Sensen, which was extremely terrifying.

The watchman was frightened and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

After a while, he heard no movement around him, looked up, and suddenly saw a figure standing in front of him.

A woman in a red phoenix robe, covered with a red hijab as red as blood, and with a slender figure peculiar to women, stood a few meters away from him.

The bride in red!

The dress was so vivid even in the dark of night, and at the same time, the woman's laughter was sharp and eerie.

He sat down on the ground, his legs trembling, and he shouted with a slight tremble, "Who are you?" Who are you? ”

The bride with the red hijab took two steps forward and stood beside the watchman, and the sound that made people tremble came from under the red hijab.

"Official! Come with me! ”

"Ahh Want... Go... Where? ”

"Of course, it's a place to get married, and tonight is our big day." The woman stooped down and stretched out her thin, pale, bloodless arm.

"Don't come, don't come!" The watchman knew that there must be no return, he turned around and kept crawling back, at this time, half of his body had been submerged in the dark alley, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted loudly for help, but this voice floated in the night sky for a long time, but it had no effect.

He looked back and saw that the bride in red on the street had disappeared.

Seeing this, the watchman immediately tried to stand up, trying to run out of the street, his feet kept shaking, "Help! Help me! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the bride appeared beside him again, grabbed the arm of the watchman with her slender hands, and led him into the dark alley.

"Official! Don't miss the time! ”

The watchman was in normal consciousness and wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, but his body was like a demon, he couldn't control it, and he walked into the dark alley with the bride in the phoenix robe.

Li Huaiyun came to the Iron Painting Pavilion and asked the guards outside to inform Liu Pingzhong, and soon, someone came out and led him to the hall case.

In the hall of the Iron Painting Pavilion, Liu Pingzhong was standing at a large table at this time, looking through the file, his brows furrowed deeply, he had been following this case for a long time, but he had not found any useful clues.

Late at night, I sent people to stare at the roof of the street where the crime was found, and I didn't find anything, and even sent people to pretend to be demon hunters, but everything was unusually calm.

The monster seems to be very scheming, and as long as the demon catcher watches it, it will not appear.

According to his previous assumptions, this case should be easy to deal with, the street is in Kyoto, and the demon hunters of the Iron Painting Pavilion are strictly guarded in that place.

But that's the case, the monster doesn't know where he got the ability, this time he can escape the search of the demon hunter, and it's useless to even pretend to fish, so all this is quite depressing.

When someone told him that Li Huaiyun came to the Iron Painting Pavilion to ask to see him, the gloom on his face was swept away, this guy came to help, that's it! However, wasn't he seriously injured and unconscious? How did you suddenly recover?

These days, he has been made by this case and doesn't think about it, and he hasn't paid the food at home, and the people in the family have complained for a long time, so he is so uneasy! Now, there's finally a chance to solve it.

"Lord Liu Helm!" Li Huaiyun stepped forward directly, clasped his fists and saluted, he stood there until Liu Pingzhong asked him to sit down quickly, and then he moved to sit down.

Hope was ignited in Liu Ping's center, "I've been seeing you busy before!" I couldn't spare time, and then I was seriously injured and fell into a coma, which made me sad to death. ”

He pointed at Li Huaiyun, "Are you okay now?" ”

"No problem! Just rest more! ”

"Then I'm relieved!" Liu Pingzhong breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the file, "This case is quite tricky, otherwise, I don't want to trouble you, for so many days, I can't find any clues, which is unacceptable." ”

Li Huaiyun frowned and asked, "Can't find any clues?" ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Liu Ping pushed the file in front of him in front of Li Huaiyun, "Go to the scene of the crime, squat, and pretend to be a watchman, all of which are in vain, and I have no choice but to ask the secretary to let you check the case." ”

Li Huaiyun picked up the file and looked at the detailed information written on it.

"No one could have imagined that a monster that haunts at night can't find any clues, and he hasn't even seen the appearance of a monster, and all the areas around the street have been searched, but nothing has been found."

Liu Pingzhong lightly buttoned the table, "I believe that with your help, this case will be successfully resolved." ”

Li Huaiyun nodded in agreement, judging from this description alone, this case is indeed very strange.

Any monster will leave a specific trace, unless it's like I said before, there is something that shields the demonic energy, jade carving! This case is also quite consistent.

Li Huaiyun quickly flipped through the scroll, and the things in it were exactly the same as what he had understood before.

In this dossier, there are probably more than 10 cases recorded, and the number of deaths is about 890, of which at least 890 percent are watchmen.

This monster is targeting the watchman, which also shows that the time when the monster appears may be within a fixed number of times, and these times are exactly the time when the watchman walked to this street.

According to what others know, there is still a little puzzled, these corpses did not have any wounds on their bodies, only some incense burner ashes were found in the nose, apparently passing by the place where incense was burning, but there were no temples or ancestral halls within a radius of more than ten miles from that street.

Where exactly the ashes of this censer were inhaled, and all the dead had it in their noses.

"Has anyone seen this monster?"

"Yes! There was one who had seen a beating, and he escaped death,"

Li Huaiyun hurriedly asked, "Then there is no confession about the beater in this file?" ”

Liu Pingzhong explained, "After the experience, the mental state of the beater became unstable, and he often went crazy and crazy, so his confession has not been recorded. ”

"It is written in that file that the appearance of the monster is a monster wearing a big red phoenix robe and a red hijab, is that what the person said?" Li Huaiyun was very puzzled,

"Yes, only these physical aspects are recorded, but there is a rumor in this,"

"What is the rumor?"

"There have been several brides missing in a row, and after a while, there will be brides who will be sent back, but all they send back is a cold corpse! More than half of his body was rotten and full of dirt. ”

"After that, for a few years, there was nothing to do, but recently, something like this happened again, which made people panic, so that the Demon Slayer Division went to investigate, but there has been no progress!"

Li Huaiyun thought to himself that this case was indeed quite tricky, and the clues were useless in the first place, so it seemed that he had to start with the corpse.

"Where are the bodies of the dead?"

"In the county office!"

"Since it's a monster, why do you put the body in the county office!"

"It's full!" Liu Pingzhong was also a little helpless,

Li Huaiyun looked puzzled, "It's full?" ”

Liu Pingzhong explained, "In recent days, cases of monsters have happened from time to time, and more and more people have died. ”

"These monsters are really hateful, attacking those ordinary people, making them panic in their hearts, because of their own safety, and dissatisfied with Da Zhou, if this continues, the people's foundation of Da Zhou is becoming more and more unstable."

Da Zhou is dying!

Li Huaiyun's mind was a little heavy, these monsters actually knew how to use this way to fight Da Zhou, not like before!.

"You're going for an autopsy?"

"Yes, I want to see what the cause of death is for those dead, so that I can determine what the monster wants."

"We didn't find the cause of death in the autopsy. ”

"Verified from the outside of the corpse?"

"Yes!"

"That's why we need to dissect the body and examine its internal cause of death!"

There has always been a question in Liu Ping's center, and today I finally have the opportunity to get an answer, "Huaiyun!" I've always wondered why it was necessary to perform such a tedious autopsy and even dissect the corpse if it was a monster. ”

"Monsters killing humans, different from ordinary homicides, their methods are cruel and strange, which also determines that we can get clues from the corpse, determine which ways to cause death, and then look for other clues left around the scene, so that we can deduce what the purpose of the monster is, or simply to harm people, and we can also find some characteristics and physical characteristics of the monster from the wound and the inside of the corpse."

"The more we know, the easier it will be for us to find the right direction and deal with this monster."

Liu Pingzhong clapped his hands lightly and agreed with what he said, "You are really extraordinary, you have such ability and experience, no wonder the case is easy in your hands!" ”

"You're really not interested in coming to the Iron Painting Pavilion? Here, I promise to give you more status than in the Sword Pavilion, a D-level demon hunter, this ability is enough to go to the next grade, and even the deputy helmsman of the Iron Painting Pavilion, it is not too much to let you be. ”

"Ahh Thank you for your appreciation, I personally don't tend to be there? It's enough to contribute to the Demon Slayer! ”

"You really don't care about that?"

"It's just a name!" Li Huaiyun said humbly, he actually understood in his heart that these positions were useless to him now, and it was better to give silver.

I'm too influenced by my aunt, why do I always think about money!

Liu Pingzhong sighed, "It seems that there is still no way to pull you to the Iron Painting Pavilion!" Maybe...! ”

Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Or please Lord Liu Helm, hurry up and take me to the place where the body is stored, everything is understood in the case, and it is not better to discuss it." ”

Liu Pingzhong knew that at this moment, his purpose was a little obvious, so he didn't say anything more.

He took Li Huaiyun to the county office and walked towards the inner room where the body was placed.

For Li Huaiyun, the county government is a place that he is familiar with, because when he was imprisoned before, he was just a small demon hunter.

Now it's quite different, he has solved the case with the princess, and he still has the emperor's edict on his body, and he has investigated big cases in the palace, and Si Zheng is also quite optimistic about himself.

With the blessing of these identities, the magistrate of this county office, if he dares to interfere, I am afraid that he will not know how he died.

He hoped that the magistrate would jump out and slap himself in the face, but it was already early in the morning, and the government had already gone home to sleep in addition to patrolling and guarding.

Liu Pingzhong took Li Huaiyun to the morgue on the side of the palace, and they walked into the morgue almost at the same time with lanterns.
