Chapter 274: Murder

The shopkeeper said, "The monk there has blood-red Sanskrit on his face and body, which looks quite terrifying. ”

Li Huaiyun asked puzzledly, "Have they explained why they did this?" ”

"I don't know," Xiao Er said softly, "It is said that someone once saw it in the temple, and those monks eat people!" ”

"Cannibalism?"

"Yes!"

"Someone really saw it, isn't it old and dizzy?"

"Huh! I don't know, anyway, there is this saying in Blackwater Town, and ordinary civilians basically don't go to that place to ask for Buddha and worship God. ”

Li Huaiyun somewhat understood the meaning, "Then you mean that the people who go to this Jishan Temple are basically the kind of people who come from unknown sources and commit crimes themselves?" ”

"Indeed it is! This temple is still quite famous in this vicinity, according to the guy who said that the monk eats people, he was once a Jiangyang thief, and wanted to enter the temple to avoid arrest, but somehow he escaped. ”

"What happened to that guy?"

"Get out of Blackwater! I haven't seen it in the back! The people of Blackwater basically don't know either."

The number of people in the store gradually increased.

"Hey!" The shopkeeper of the hotel saw that there were more people eating in the store, and the second little man of the store was still chatting with people, so he shouted loudly, "I didn't see the guests coming in, hurry up and entertain the guests for me!" ”

As soon as he heard the shopkeeper's anger, the shopkeeper also hurriedly nodded to Li Huaiyun, "Guest officer, you use it slowly, I still have to greet guests, you use it slowly!" ”

Li Huaiyun saw the shopkeeper's anger, so he didn't ask too much, he glanced at the food on the table, and after the hungry stomach could finally be swept away by a gust of wind, he only left a stack of plates.

Located in the north, this place belongs to the cold zone, and there are three seasons of ice and snow in the four seasons of the year, and one of the seasons, it snows heavily all day and the temperature is extremely low.

Therefore, the taste here is light, the salt is less, the taste is heavier, and the taste is tasteless.

Originally, he still wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark and continue to run for a while, but he could think that the wind and snow here were heavy at night, and he was not familiar with the place.

When it gets dark, if you can't find a place to rest, or if you encounter those unclean things in the mountains and wilderness, and you have to work hard, then it is better to stay in this Blackwater Town today, and then go to the post station early tomorrow morning to borrow a horse and set off.

At this moment, from the outside, several catchers wearing thick fur coats and sabers entered, their faces were covered with some hoarfrost, and their faces were slightly red from the cold, and as soon as they entered, they went to the fireside and rubbed their hands vigorously, obviously the extremely cold weather outside made people feel the cold.

They went straight to a big table, sat down, and someone whispered, "Why is this weather so cold?" Seems a little abnormal! ”

"Yes! There was hail the other day. ”

"It doesn't feel like the number of Great Zhou Qi is about to run out!"

"Hey!" The one who was the leader, a little older, had wrinkles on his face, "Pay attention to what you say, you can't say this kind of thing casually!" ”

"Head! The sky is high and the emperor is far away, what are you afraid of? ”

"That's it! Have you heard that strange things are happening in Kyoto these days, and it seems that something big is happening. ”

"Yes! I also heard about it, but fortunately, someone stopped it in time, so that Kyoto could be calmed down. ”

"Someone really did it?"

"That's natural, otherwise, how could this border guard suddenly change a batch, obviously not that person's subordinates."

"It's still that demon hunter who is so powerful, I can't imagine that he can see through the trick, ordinary people can't do this."

"Yes! You should thank him for this, if it weren't for him, maybe the Great Zhou might be in chaos, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it's time to fight again and again."

The elder catcher said, "Stability is the greatest happiness, and many people don't know this!" ”

One of them sighed and said, "It is said that that man has also solved a lot of cases in Kyoto, if only he could come and help us!" ”

The other few catchers waved their hands again and again, "You! Don't think about it so much, besides, people are demon hunters, and the case we have at hand now is an ordinary case, and there is no chance to invite that person. ”

"Don't think too naΓ―ve, people are now celebrities in Kyoto, how can they come, we are a place where birds don't and chickens don't lay eggs."

"But now there are no clues at all, it's up to us, when will this case be solved!" The guard had a sad face, "Why don't you go and talk to the county magistrate and go to Kyoto to invite this person down!" ”

"What are you kidding? I don't know that the county lord is dead, and he only uses boiling water to entertain people on weekdays, and he is not even willing to buy a pot of tea. ”

"That's it, let him promise you to go to Kyoto to invite someone, not to kill him."

"I believe that if we are good, we will definitely be able to find out this murder case clearly, no matter how fast it is, we can't do this thing well, then how can we gain a foothold in Blackwater Town in the future."

The arrester was displeased, these people knew that they were talking big, the case had been investigated for almost half a month, and there were no clues or evidence.

One of the arresters quickly said, "That is, in fact, we just need to arrange more people to patrol and don't let there be another murder in the town, no, as for whether the case is solved or not, it doesn't matter much." ”

"Anyway, death is a monk, and no one in the town knows him, even the monk in the Jishan Temple outside the town also knows him, what is his identity, he is a nameless person, and there is no need to care too much."

The catcher with a more sense of justice refuted, "It can't be like this, if there is really something wrong with this case, if we don't investigate it clearly, there will definitely be trouble!" ”

"You know!"

"How dare you say it again!"

One of the older catchers slapped the table, "Okay! Stop arguing, what's the use of you fighting like this! ”

The shopkeeper brought the ordered dishes one after another.

"Bring me a pot of soju!"

The catcher quickly stopped, "Don't be, Lao Chen, we are doing office business, and it is reasonable to be reasonable, we should not drink alcohol, so as not to affect our work." ”

"It's okay! It's okay! How much to do in this town! ”

"Leave him alone," said the other, "if you have to be so rigid, let him be!" Let's eat! Dine! ”

Li Huaiyun hid in the corner, although he was far away, he heard what they said the whole time, it was a monk who died, maybe it was related to Jueming Temple, it seems that I still have to find a chance to investigate this case.

Among these quick catches, the person just now was relatively serious and responsible, and he should be able to discuss it with him.

Li Huaiyun quickly finished eating, paid the money, and went directly to the alley, then jumped into the roof, staring carefully at the restaurant below.

Soon after, he saw the guards come out of the restaurant, and then walked towards the county office, during which they happened to encounter something outside the town, so they went to solve it, and then they dispersed and went to patrol other places.

Li Huaiyun caught up with the more righteous catcher and met him in a small alley.

The catcher saw him at a glance, this person was thoughtful, and he was also quite professional in treating people and things, he saw Li Huaiyun walking towards him, and he had already put his hand on the handle of his saber.

"Stop! Who are you? ”
