Liu Ping was excited for a while, and after such a reminder, he realized that the two cases were slightly related, and he glanced at Li Huaiyun to the side, and saw that he was still calm.

This guy is so old-fashioned!

"Then let's go to the place where the butcher died!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Pingzhong walked out of the street, looked around for a moment, and then walked into this alley again, he raised his head and glanced around, "Hey! Coincidentally, at the end of this alley, there is the slaughterhouse. ”

"No wonder!" Li Huaiyun looked into the depths of the alley with a solemn expression.

The further you walked into the alley, the older the tall grey walls became, the more muddy the stones became, and the air smelled of blood and the stench of domestic animals.

There are no flatbed trucks on this kind of road, so it is really difficult to walk.

There was a room in the depths of the alley, with a lot of stones piled up at the door, the wood on the fence was stained, and the gate was locked, and the closer you got to the house, the stronger the stench became.

Liu Pingzhong was obviously quite disgusted with such a place, he covered his nose and frowned, for fear that his body would be stained with disgusting dirt.

"Are we really going to go here?"

"That's nature!" Li Huaiyun said, "Since it is the scene of the crime, there will definitely be clues left, unless the current slaughterhouse deliberately clears those clues." ”

"This place stinks, it's uncomfortable, and I don't want to be here for a moment."

Li Huaiyun was a little puzzled in his heart, and glanced at Liu Pingzhong, how could a big man also have such a problem with cleanliness.

However, he also expressed his understanding, after all, Liu Duo is a literati, and the slaughterhouse is of course out of place.

"Liu Duo really doesn't want to go, so wait for me at the entrance of the alley! I'll go and see it alone! ”

Liu Pingzhong obviously couldn't accept such a situation, he was in charge of this case, how could he leave it alone and let Li Huaiyun go in alone to find clues.

"It's okay! I can bear with it, isn't it a slaughterhouse? It's not that I haven't been there. ”

You probably haven't been! Li Huaiyun glanced at him, he knew in his heart that this guy had never been here, after all, he knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was born in a scholarly family, how could he have come to such a stinky and dirty slaughterhouse.

However, seeing him cautious, disgusted, and having to come in, the look made people feel very funny.

"It's really dirty, your clothes and trouser legs are dirty, that's not good!"

"You give me less nonsense, and after you get things done, get out of this damn place."

Li Huaiyun shrugged his shoulders, "Don't regret it!" ”

He stood in front of the gate, and there were several small pits on the ground, and inside were yellow dirty water, and a film of oil floated on them!

He raised his hand and tapped the wooden door hard, the knock echoing through the silent alley.

At this moment, a rough voice came from inside, "Who is knocking on the door, this animal has not been slaughtered?"

"The hosts! I'm not here to buy meat! Li Huaiyun stood outside the door and responded,

"Since you're not buying meat, get out of here!" The attitude of the speaker is quite bad, and he doesn't care who is at the door!

Li Huaiyun thought to himself, this guy's attitude is really bad, he doesn't look like he is doing business at all!

"Our demon hunter of the Demon Slayer Division is here to investigate the case!"

"Don't disturb your work!."

His persuasion seemed to be of some use, and suddenly there was no sound inside, and after a while, there were footsteps coming from inside, and the footsteps were calm, and it was obvious that the person who came was not ordinary.

"Listening to this voice, I'm afraid the people who came are not ordinary people!"

"I feel the same way," Mr. Li said.

As soon as these words fell, the rust-covered gate began to swing slightly, and the iron filings on it flew in the air.

The breath is strong! It should be someone who has a little martial arts cultivation

In front of the red-brick room, a burly, muscular figure stood at the door, the man with thick eyebrows and angry eyes, glaring at the two people outside the door, with a little vigilance in his eyes.

Liu Pingzhong said, "This guy is a bit cultivated, and with this shape, he can bluff a lot of people!" ”

"Maybe the talent is average, so I found a job to make a living, and it does cost a lot to practice martial arts, at the beginning, my aunt was also strongly opposed, thinking that it would cost too much silver, but fortunately I persevered, otherwise I would go to study medicine and not suffocate to death."

"You're in luck! Ordinary people have entered the Qi Refining Realm for three years, and they think it is quite fast! ”

Li Huaiyun was still very grateful to Hongyun in his heart, and finally agreed, if he really insisted on not letting him practice martial arts, I am afraid that he would be a gentleman now.

The butcher stood in front of the gate with a stern expression, and looked at Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong with disdain.

His brow furrowed, "Who are you?" Why come here? ”

Li Huaiyun immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "This brother, we are the demon hunters of the Demon Slaying Division, these days, there are ghosts in this area, and many people have died, so we are here to investigate." ”

"This is the place where pigs are killed! What is there to check, you should not go to the place of the dead to check! ”

"The area around here needs to be checked, but it's just a matter of stopping here!"

"This place slaughters livestock, and the air of death is pervasive, and a lot of resentment is accumulated, even ghosts may not dare to approach."

"It's a waste of time to come here to check!" The butcher said unceremoniously, shirtless, showing his broad shoulders and strong muscles, his arms soaked in blood, his hair exerted, his body slightly fat, and his fierce look, which looked like that of a very vicious man.

"We're here to investigate the case!" Li Huaiyun looked inside the slaughterhouse, "No matter what you say, we must inspect this slaughterhouse!" ”

His words were quite harsh

The butcher raised his hand, and the black pig-killing knife in his hand was pointed at them, and the sharp blade flickered in front of the person, making people feel cold, "The investigation has nothing to do with me!" But I paid for the land, and this happens from time to time. ”

Li Huaiyun said, "I heard that something happened before you did this slaughterhouse, you...!" ”

"What the hell, something happened, and I didn't do it, so what do I do? If you want to find it, go to the government! This case is under the management of the county government, and they are also responsible for investigating the case, what are you doing here to find me. ”

Although this guy is doing slaughtering work, his brain is not rigid and organized.

"I just want to borrow the treasure to check and understand the situation a little," After that, Li Huaiyun walked to Liu Pingzhong's side, "Master Liu, do you have some silver on you!" ”

"What are you going to do?"

"If you want to visit, of course you have to spend some money!"

Liu Pingzhong said, "We are investigating cases normally, and we have the right to inspect any place." ”

"Don't waste time, this butcher is obviously not such an easy talker, and besides, we are now disturbing his work, so it is natural to give some."

Liu Pingzhong reluctantly took out a few ingots of silver and handed them over.

After Li Huaiyun took it, he offered it with both hands, "I hope the butcher brother can be accommodating, let's go in and see the place." ”

When the butcher saw that there was silver, his eyes immediately lit up, and when he took the silver, his face was full of smiles, "That's it, it's easy to say!" ”

"Come on! Come! Come on in! He politely asked inside, "Seriously, what's so nice about that place, isn't it just a slaughterhouse, besides, I've started slaughtering animals there again, what else can I see?" ”

"You don't need to worry about this, we're just going to check it out."

The butcher took them to the slaughterhouse, and then asked them to wait outside for a while, and he went in and cleaned up the people and things.

When he came out just now, he was only half slaughtered.

Li Huaiyun activated the Qi Hope Technique, looked around, and found that the slaughterhouse at the front had a strong aura, which seemed to be the evil qi accumulated by the slaughtered creatures, which had not been dissipated for a long time.

The butcher took three or four helpers out of the bloodstained, dilapidated house, and then said to Li Huaiyun, "I only give you two quarters of an hour, we have to slaughter a few more today, and someone wants to get married!" ”

"Oh! Married, aren't you afraid of that? ”

"Which one?"

"Doesn't it mean that if someone gets married on this street, a bride will disappear?"

The butcher suddenly realized what he was talking about, and he smiled disdainfully, "What am I talking about!" It's been a long time, and this thing hasn't happened for a long time! ”

"And what do you guys who live here think about that?"

"I don't live here! Besides, it's not okay later, I guess it's a marriage runaway! Pretend to be missing. ”

The butcher had this attitude, and Li Huaiyun thought that there was nothing to talk about, so he walked into the slaughterhouse with Liu Pingzhong.

The door was open, and when you got closer, there was a strong smell of blood, which showed how much evil energy was accumulated in it.

Li Huaiyun walked into this room of more than 20 square meters, the room was dim, there were a few candles lit on the wall, dirty wall slates, iron chains, arm-thick iron hooks hung from the roof, a one-meter-high cabinet, which was full of bloodstained knives, with a little oil on them, making these knives look more permeable, the ground was covered with a layer of straw, all kinds of bloodstained wooden basins, wooden barrels.

The pig that had been slaughtered, its internal organs had been hollowed out and thrown on the stone slab, and the blood in the body had not yet been completely drained, and was dripping down the stone slab into the bucket next to it.

Tick! Tick! Voices echoed through the silence of the room.

Liu Pingzhong hated this place, not only because it was dirty and smelly, but also because there was a special smell in this place, which made him feel like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

"There's something vaguely wrong in this place."

"You think so too!" Li Huaiyun immediately responded, "There is a heavy evil aura in this place!" But it can't cover up inside, mixed with a little demonic energy! ”

Liu Pingzhong turned his head and looked at the gate, where the butcher and helper standing outside had a grim gaze, glaring at the room from time to time.

"Could it be that there are monsters here?"

"Highly likely!" Li Huaiyun walked around the slaughterhouse to see what clues were there, and after turning around, he saw a stack of papers hanging on the wall on the side where the gate was located.

He stepped forward to look through it, and recorded the meat products needed by the buyers, and several of them were in great demand during this day, which should be the few people in the slaughter household who wanted to get married.

Li Huaiyun flipped through the other stacks of papers hanging on the wall, and happened to find the accounts of the exterminated butcher.

There is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes!

The paper was yellowed and unbooked, and the handwriting on it was somewhat weathered, but it was still possible to read the details of the accounts recorded.

After a brief glance, there are also records of marriage in the accounts and more food needs to be prepared.

He pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Liu Pingzhong, "Master Liu, do you remember the so-called rumored that there was a specific date for the bride's disappearance?" ”

Liu Pingzhong frowned, "This is for the Criminal Department, but I have seen one or two cases in the file, and I remember the time of the case relatively clearly!" ”

"Tell me when you know!"

Liu Pingzhong made a thoughtful look, waited for a while, and then informed the memory time.

As Li Huaiyun flipped the stack of papers on the wall to a specific position, a smile appeared on his face.

"What did you find?"

"Guess what I found in there?"

Liu Pingzhong walked up, stared at the paper, and suddenly found that the time recorded in this account matched the time of the bride's disappearance.

"This case of the slaughtered butcher is really related to the case of the bride's disappearance."

"Yes! In those two days, pork was provided to families who got married! Li Huaiyun said, "According to the usual situation, the banquet is in the front hall and the courtyard, but the preparation and cooking of vegetables are in the backyard. ”

Liu Pingzhong didn't accept this speculation very much, "That's impossible, wouldn't the groom find out when he was in the cave room." ”

"It's probably a division of people, or someone is in the front hall to answer, and the groom must be drunk, so that it works, of course, drunk people can't distinguish whether there is anyone in the bed."

This explanation seems reasonable, but it still asks, "Is it possible, how did they take the bride?" It's a bit difficult to take such a big living person away! ”

"It's not difficult! It's just that it's easy to let the bride sleep, and as for how to transport it, it depends on how the pork is brought in. ”

When Liu Pingzhong heard this, he suddenly woke up, and he nodded angrily, "Yes!" Right! These people came with carts, and it was enough to put a bride. ”

"Then this car, I don't know if it's still here, if it is, maybe I can find something,"

"It's fine!" Liu Pingzhong said confidently, "Just ask, now this butcher is fine, I believe that if the board car is easy to use, this thing will definitely remain!" ”

Li Huai turned around and came to the slate, the fat pig was lying on it, the whole slate was full of blood, he reached out and wiped it on the rich blood.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay! I just want to know where this demonic aura comes from. ”

"Maybe it's just a remnant again, don't panic too much, and most importantly, find a clue to the missing bride."

Liu Pingzhong's expression was solemn, "If the speculation is correct, the ghost bride who appeared on the street in the past few days is very likely to be an innocent bride who died unjustly." ”

"Then it's certain that the butcher has something to do with that case!"
