The shopkeeper said this extremely sad and indignant, and it sounded like he wanted to kill Zhou Heng now to avenge Zhao Yuan.

Zhou Heng was slightly stunned when he heard this.

I'm going, is the number one suspect so arrogant?

However, he didn't wait for Zhou Heng to respond.

Meng Xing shouted in a deep voice: "Qian Buduo, don't talk nonsense, you are also a suspect!"

When the money shopkeeper heard this, he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhou Heng looked at Meng Xing with some astonishment, and said suspiciously: "The money shopkeeper has also become a suspect?"

I didn't say what I was thinking.

"Hmph, I really don't know how you guys are going to do the case!" The shopkeeper looked at Meng Xing with disdain, and said, "I'm a white family, and Zhao Yuan also has a friendship with me, how could I kill him, and you actually suspect me?"

"Be honest!" A young catcher next to him kicked the money shopkeeper and snorted coldly: "How can you talk to our Meng Tou, do you understand the rules!"

"Xiao Wang, bring this guy in first, Miss Li is already inside. Meng Xing also looked like he was catching his head with a cold face, and said coldly: "If he talks nonsense again, give him some color and take a look!"

"Yes!" the young man nodded quickly, and then directly dragged the money shopkeeper to the Wuxiang Martial Arts Pavilion.

Let Zhou Gongzi smile. When Meng Xing looked at Zhou Heng, he put on another gentle expression and said, "Please also ask Gongzi to come with me, there are already people waiting at the scene of the crime." ”

The speed of this change of face made Zhou Heng stunned.

I wonder if this guy has studied Sichuan opera?

It's a must-have for changing faces!

However, why are these headhunters so kind to themselves?

It's weird!

Is it really because I'm so handsome?

......

The scene of the crime refers to the bedroom where Zhao Yuan was killed.

Except for Zhao Yuan's body, which has been removed, everything here remains as it is.

Including that line of bloody words -

Murderer Zhou Heng!

When Zhou Heng and Meng Xing came to the scene of the crime, they found that the money shopkeeper and the previous arrester called Xiao Wang were already here.

In addition to this, there is a young woman.

She looked to be in her twenties, wearing a light yellow dress, with fluffy hair, a delicate appearance, and a cold gaze, standing alone in the corner of this bedroom, silent, and with a very low sense of presence.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhou Heng coming, he sneered: "Zhou Heng, open your eyes wide and see clearly what is written there!?

"Shut up!" Meng Xing glared at him, and then said to Zhou Heng: "Young Master Zhou, you can just take a look here, and leave the rest to us." ”

"......" Zhou Heng frowned slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't understand what Meng Xing wanted to do, so let the suspect take a casual look at the scene of the crime, could he determine the real murderer?

Not realistic.

Of course, he will not let go of this opportunity to observe the scene of the crime.

If it was really the work of ghosts, there should be remnants of ghost energy here.

——Since he first came into contact with ghost qi from Cheng Jiangjian, Zhou Heng has a certain degree of perception of ghost qi, but it is only limited to the ghost qi left on normal people or items.

He can perceive the level of +1, and after looking at this bedroom completely, he didn't find any place where it could be, and there was no trace of ghosts at all.

Isn't it the work of ghosts?

Or is this ghost good at hiding and avoiding the remnants of ghost energy?

Zhou Heng was puzzled in his heart, and was about to end his observation, when suddenly his eyes met the young woman standing in the corner, and saw a pair of eyes that were clear and like a clear spring.

"I'm all right. ”

At this time, the woman suddenly spoke, her eyes turned, she raised her hand and pointed at the money shopkeeper, and said, "Meng Zhutou, let's control this person first, when he looked at this bedroom just now, his expression was problematic, and he was seriously suspicious." ”

"What!?" The money shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "This, this is impossible, I am innocent, I am innocent, you, you are spewing blood!"

"Arrest it!" Meng Xing ordered directly.

"Yes!" Xiao Wang nodded quickly.

At the same time, three catchers rushed in from outside, and they were subdued by the money shopkeeper at once.

"What do you want to do!?" the money shopkeeper was shocked and shouted, "You can't do this!"

"Take it away, put it in the cellar first, and wait for it to fall!" Meng Xing said in a deep voice.

The money shopkeeper was directly taken away by Xiao Wang and the other four catchers, and the bedroom became quiet again.

"......" Zhou Heng had a vague guess in his heart, but he was more puzzled, and looked at Meng Xing, "What's the matter, Meng Zhutou." ”

"That's right, come, I'll introduce you. Meng walked to the side of the girl standing in the corner and said to Zhou Heng: "Master Zhou, this is Miss Li Jingxin."

She can judge the mental activity of a person by observing the changes in his expression, and just now she saw that the expression of the money shopkeeper was wrong, so she decided that he might have a problem. ”

"Can it still be like this?" Zhou Heng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this was also amazing, "So there's nothing wrong with my expression just now?"

"Nope. Li Jingxin cherished words like gold, and said lightly: "Your eyes are looking for clues, there is no panic, no fear, no surprise." ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll send Zhou Gongzi back first. Meng Xing smiled.

"It doesn't have to be. Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "I'll just go back by myself." ”

He always felt that this Meng Xing was too attentive, and he was a little too diligent, especially after seeing Meng Xing's attitude towards the money shopkeeper just now, this contrast was even more stark.

"How can this work?" Meng Xing said: "I'm really sorry to let my son come here this time, if I don't send you back in person, I won't be at ease, please." ”

“...... Okay, that's a lot of work. Zhou Heng had no choice but to agree.

In my heart, I feel that the development of this matter is very strange, but I can't say what it is.

......

On the horse-drawn carriage on the return trip.

Zhou Heng, who originally seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes, and his face became extremely bad.

"What's the matter, Gongzi Zhou?" Meng Xing said suspiciously when he saw this.

"Nothing, a nightmare. Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Meng Zhutou, stop at the gold shop in front of you, and I'll go back by myself." ”

"Gongzi Zhou is going to exchange gold?" Meng Xing said in surprise, he had heard that this Gongzi Zhou was quite shy in his pocket.

"Well, there are some special uses. Zhou Heng nodded, his expression bitter.

Just now, he was idle and bored, so he comprehended the Taoist method of "palm thunder" in his mind, so as to be needed from time to time.

Although Fang Cai didn't feel the ghost at the scene of the crime, and the money shopkeeper was also arrested, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and it was safer to learn this method.

Progress was fast, and it didn't take long for him to learn the method.

Palm Thunder seems to be a Taoist method specifically for ghosts, even if it is just a beginner, it can also cause extremely strong damage to ghosts, and when it is practiced to the fullest, it has the effect of killing ghosts.

But then he discovered a very terrible situation.

The palm thunder is a way of doing this, and it actually needs to burn money!

Whether it is to practice or actually perform this method, you need to use gold as a spiritual guide for casting spells.

One or two gold at a time.

It's just damning!!

"If Childe needs gold, I've got some here. Meng Xing suddenly took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it, with a piece of gold cake in it, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said with a smile: "Let's use it first." ”

？？？

Zhou Heng looked at Meng Xing with a bewildered expression, then looked at the piece of gold cake, and said in amazement: "Meng Zhutou, what do you want to do?"

"Childe is valued by the lord of the house, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, I just want to make friends with Childe now, and I don't think about anything else. Meng Xing didn't hide it, and directly explained his thoughts, "Please accept it." ”

“......”

Zhou Heng was slightly silent when he heard this, hesitated for a while, but nodded and accepted, "Thank you." ”

Money, that's a good thing.

......

Fucheng Yamen.

Wu Zongshan, the lord of the mansion, was handling government affairs in the study, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in. He said lightly.

Then the door opened.

Meng walked in, bowed respectfully, and said, "I have seen the mansion master, regarding the death of Zhao Yuan, the owner of the Wuxiang Martial Arts Pavilion, there is a new situation to report.

"According to the method suggested by the adult, the subordinates asked the shopkeeper and Zhou Heng to go to the scene of the crime, and asked Miss Li to observe their expressions, and finally determined that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper Qian.

"He has now been taken to the cellar, waiting for your fate. ”

"Just lock it up for now. Wu Zongshan said lightly: "Without my order, no one is allowed to open the door of the cellar." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xing was puzzled when he heard this, and said, "What about the meal?"

"Delivered once a day at noon. Wu Zongshan said.

"Yes!" Meng Xing bowed and was about to leave.

"Walk slowly. Wu Zongshan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "When you went to pass on Zhou Heng, what was your attitude?" ”

"The adult's entrustment subordinates naturally dare not forget. Meng Xing hurriedly said: "Your subordinates follow your words, treat that Zhou Gongzi gently, and don't dare to be the slightest bit lazy." ”

"Good. Wu Zongshan bowed his head slightly and said, "Go ahead." ”

After Meng Xing left.

A shadow suddenly came out from behind the screen in the study, with a faint yellow skirt and fluffy hair, which was Li Jingxin, who was previously an "observer".

"Father-in-law, why do you want me to forcibly determine that there is something wrong with that money shopkeeper?" Li Jingxin frowned slightly, and said, "Actually, I didn't find anything unusual in his expression. ”

"For the entire Huangtong Mansion City. Wu Zongshan sighed slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Youyou, are you satisfied with this answer? Go back and rest early." ”

“...... Well, the stepfather also rested earlier. Li Jingxin nodded and said goodbye.

At this time, Wu Zongshan was the only one left in the study.

He took a deep breath.

Turning to the bookshelf, he twisted a mechanism, and suddenly a hidden compartment opened.

There was a stack of apricot-colored paper, a brush, and a box of cinnabar.

On the outermost piece of apricot paper is written in cinnabar.

"There are traces of suspected ghosts in Huangtong Mansion City, roughly with seven-grade strength, and special abilities involve hiding tracks and blocking the area, please send a star envoy to come and kill ghosts. ”

Underneath this paragraph, there is a blank space.

At this time, there was a bright silver light like starlight, slowly outlining a text on this apricot yellow paper - good!

When Wu Zongshan saw this word, he was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

......

In the cellar of the Wuxiang Martial Arts Hall.

It was dark and cold, and there was no one around.

The shopkeeper sat in a corner, his expression very calm, without the slightest annoyance, and after seeing the moonlight shining through the gap in the entrance of the cellar, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Wu Zongshan, do you think you can drag me down like this? In fact, all this is what I expected, I already knew that you would suspect me, so I will plan and let you lock me up.

"Now you think that I can't get out here, the outside is the safest situation, you can safely ask for help from the people of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division, and wait for their people to come and kill me.

"It's a pity, you still know too little about ghosts, and now that I've completely entered the 'control' stage, how can this small cellar shut me down?

"Although my control over this body has not yet reached the stage of 'snatching away', devouring yang energy will be a lot of waste, but at this point, I can't take care of so much.

"We must leave before the people of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division arrive!

"Zhou Heng, delicious yang energy, I'm here now, hahaha!"

The current money shopkeeper is no longer the money step he once was.

After muttering in his heart, the smile on his face turned cold, and then his body shook slightly, and the whole person instantly softened, and then became flat.

In the end, it became a shadow, which seemed to have no body!

The shadow swam up the walls of the cellar, easily through the gap in the cellar entrance, and escaped.

At this time, the three young catchers guarding the cellar were napping.

Xiao Wang is also among them.

The shadow suddenly pounced, and immediately enveloped Xiao Wang quickly.

In just a few breaths, the shadow devoured and absorbed it, and then continued to wander the ground, leaving the place.

The whole process was silent, and the other two caught fast, not even realizing that Xiao Wang had been killed.

Still napping.

......

In a wasteland on the outskirts of Huangtong Province.

Zhou Heng held half of the golden cake in the palm of his right hand, which was exactly one or two.

The left hand is pinching.

Thunder Seal!

At the same time, he mobilized his internal qi and poured it into the palm of his right hand.

began to catalyze the half of the golden cake in the palm of the palm according to the way of the palm thunder.

This is the process of preparing for the Dao.

Normally, it may only take a few breaths.

However, due to Zhou Heng's weak internal breath, and it was the first time he practiced this Dao method, he was not familiar with the way of qi, so this preparation process took a long time.

Half an hour had passed, and only a few hair-thin arcs had appeared on the half of the gold cake.

After another half an hour, the golden cake finally turned into liquid gold and gathered into a small ball the size of a quail egg, the surface of which was wrapped in dense electric light.

Palm Thunder!

It's done!

It's finally done!

"Hahaha!

Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing, looking at the electric golden ball in his hand, he was very excited.

This feeling of holding thunder is really cool!

At the same time, under the hazy moonlight, a cloud of erratic shadows swam over, approaching Zhou Heng, ready to pounce and devour him.

"It's so pure, it's so rich! No wonder I'm attracted here, this kind of yang energy is only second only to the Yang Divine Soul, it's great, it's really amazing!

"Although devouring him in my current state will waste some yang energy, it is also very likely that I will break through to the current level, which is equivalent to the six grades of human beings!

"Great opportunity, great opportunity! My delicious meal, I'm here!"

The money shopkeeper turned into a shadow was ecstatic and looked forward to a better future.

But at this time-

Zhou Heng suddenly raised his right hand and threw out the palm thunder in his hand.

"Nine Heavens Xuansha, turn into thunder! Brilliant Tianwei, lead it with gold!"

Zhou Heng shamelessly put a spell on his palm thunder, because he felt that this was the first Dao method he had cast, and he had to have a sense of ritual.

Bang!

The palm thunder burst open, emitting a deafening roar, and the dazzling golden thunder light illuminated the surrounding area of more than ten zhang as bright as day, and the blazing breath swept around like a storm.

Before the shadow could even move, it was torn apart by the sudden thunder and lightning, and after barely reuniting, it immediately fled.

From beginning to end, Zhou Heng was not aware of the existence of this shadow.

"You have successfully performed the Dao Method [Palm Thunder] [Eight Grades], and your proficiency is +5. ”

The system prompt sounded in Zhou Heng's mind.

This kind of proficiency increase made him breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately, it was not that he could only increase his proficiency a little at one time, which was barely good news.

But immediately after, another system prompt sounded.

"Congratulations!Defeated enemy Feng You, Lucky Bag [Silver] +3. ”

What!?

Zhou Heng was dumbfounded, what's the situation??
