The records in the dossier are not exhaustive, but there are more specific matters than those in the parchment, such as the situation in the house of the sufferer, the approximate location of the disappearance, the search the next day, and the inquiries of the neighbors...... and so on, although it didn't seem to be of much help, it made the six ugly even more convinced of their speculation.

These dozen or so people did not have an accident in the same place, and there was no cry for help, it was definitely not hunting, it must be trapping.

If it is really the monster's doing, then he will inevitably use the entire city as a hunting ground, hiding on weekdays, only going out in the middle of the night, luring people to the left, taking advantage of the loss of vigilance to start, silently, and then quickly transporting the corpses away, avoiding the night patrol.

Well, it seems that it is necessary to search at night to find out which places fit this verse......

Hearing the night patrol, Zuo couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and was looking for a reason to avoid, but Du Pu took the first step and said: "The night patrol may not have results in ten days, and it is not known for a long time, but everything in the pavilion can not be wasted, Du Pu can only ask the pavilion chief to guard the pavilion and mobilize everything, I will bring two people out on patrol, if there is any gain, I will ask the pavilion chief to inform the county lieutenant and ask him to help." ”

Zuo Geng was very happy in his heart, but he hesitated on his face, and then said: "In this case, I will follow what you say, I only hate that I can't capture and kill the demon with my own hands, so regretful." ”

"The pavilion chief is in the middle of the scheduling, and Fang is the greatest credit," Du Puqian said: "I'm just a little trick, why bother?"

"Seeking to be strong and fierce is the true character of a hero," the pavilion chief was even more happy when he saw that he was willing to share the credit, so he said: "In addition to the help of the two, what else is there, but a bow and crossbow?"

Although the Great Zhou does not prohibit martial arts, but the blade is still limited, ordinary people can only hold swords, professional demon hunting merchant groups and county lieutenants can be equipped with Ge, spears and bows and arrows, as for crossbow arrows, they need to apply for a special application, in order to be able to crack the case, the pavilion chief also took out the sincerity to apply for the use of bows and crossbows.

Du Pu shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't fight with it, I just find out the monsters, I don't need a bow and crossbow, I just need to be the pavilion chief to test and pass it, and allow me to wait for the night patrol." ”

There is a curfew at night, if you go out, you must have the procedures issued by the county lieutenant, and the pavilion chief can only apply for it, which is not difficult under such a situation.

Du Pu did not delay, so he ordered two pavilion guards, one Qi Si, one Ren Fu, both of whom were lowly, although the two were unwilling in their hearts, but they were afraid of Du Pu's usual deterrence, and did not dare to speak falsely, so they could only honestly take five soldiers, put on armor, and followed Du Pu with a sad face.

At this time, the sun has been slanting in the west, the sky is gradually darkening, Du Pu did not say much, so he took the two of them to the wine shop to eat a full meal, so that the store added more meat in the millet to eat, just recently the store slaughtered a fat dog, then took the large piece of fat meat and cut it into millet and served it to the three people.

The dog meat is fishy, and there is no spice, and the taste is really not good, but it is a rare delicacy for Qi Qi and Ren Fu, the two of them devoured a feast, were satisfied, and drank half a cup of wine syrup, and suddenly had countless good feelings towards Du Pu, and also had more courage for the night watch.

Subsequently, Du Pu led the two along the route where everyone disappeared at the time of the crime, and began to patrol slowly, looking for differences, and soon received a summons sent by the pavilion guards sent by Zuo Geng, and the night patrol was officially recognized.

In this way, he met the night guards twice, and Du Pu took out the evidence to prove it, so that it went smoothly, and it was not long before it was the time when it was the time, and it was also the time when many cases occurred, so he tried his best to collect the surrounding sounds in his ears, and listened while walking, but only heard the faint snoring sound from the houses everywhere, and there was no other sound.

Until the ugly time, there was no discovery.

After the time passed, there was no difference between the patrols, and the six ugly called the two pavilion guards to disperse, and the two pawns did not dare to go alone, so they agreed to return to the pavilion to rest, but Du Pu returned to the ancestral courtyard in the west of the city, closed the door and entered the room.

At this point, Du Pu's body shape gradually changed, turning into a short stature, big and small eyes, and a humanoid shape with pointed ears and monkey gills.

It is the six ugliness.

In the time on the flying boat, the six ugly diligent cultivation, the ten thousand demons have gradually entered the second chapter of the realm, not only the speed of change is faster, but also has the ability to simulate their usual form and speech by contact, and it is precisely because of this section that the six ugly dared to boldly pretend to be a fat cook, and then followed Du Pu for two days, watching his behavior, knowing his friends and neighbors, and then he had a recent move.

Li Dai Taostiff is the most suitable way to survive the six ugly.

With the operation of the Ten Thousand Demon Decision, the demonic qi in the body of the six ugly began to flow along the hundred veins of Zhou Tian, washing its veins, cleansing its marrow, expanding its path, turning its life, and flowing between, constantly incorporating the external vitality into it, refining and fusing the essence, making the demonic power more and more rich and pure......

The six uglies are only in the realm of little demons, absorbing vitality at a speed like mosquitoes and flies licking water, termites eating the wall, and they can't attract the attention of everyone in the city at all.

It wasn't until the sky was hazy that the six ugly people took a short rest, and returned to the pavilion at noon.

For three days in a row, the six ugly people all took the pavilion guards to patrol at night, and most of the people encountered were guards and husbands, and occasionally those who returned at night, but most of them were officials and heroes, and several people were accompanied, and there was no suspicion.

The pavilion chief is not in a hurry, it has been a few months since he first disappeared, but he is not in a hurry for these three or five seven days, but the county lieutenant has to report to the guard, knowing that his Ximen Pavilion sent someone to patrol the demon at night, and called him to praise him, and he came back so proud.

Patrolling at night, during the day, the six chou took the pavilion guards to explore the place where everyone had disappeared, or gossiped in the market, or asked the neighbors, and on the fourth day came to the house of Chengxi Ding, and after visiting the wife and daughter of the deceased, the six chou began to go all the way along the house to the banquet and wine shop, carefully along the way.

Ding's house is not far from the wine store, on the way to pass through two streets, a back alley, the front street is prosperous, the left and right are full of shops, Wei Xu will also pass here, the six ugly just check a little, only focus on the back alley and the side street, trying to find some clues.

The back alley is the backyard of two large families in the city, with high walls and thick walls, but there are several families and three households at the end of the alley, and the six ugly views are only ordinary people, and there is nothing suspicious. There are slightly fewer people in the back street, and the shops are not as grand as the main street avenue, all of which are where some nitrate skins, dyed cloths, and mend nets, and some people keep the dogs and sheep sent from outside the city in captivity, and the smell of rot is very strong, and the human and animal feces are more presumptuous than the previous street, and they are mixed with mud and dust after drying, and are splashed by the hooves of the horses, and they are almost disgusted.

In this kind of street market, even the guards do not come much, only those pavilion servants will hang around here and drop a few small dollars.

The six ugly walked here, and all the people who saw it looked sideways and avoided, bowed down and laughed, and those who were a little farther away hid indoors, peeking through the cracks in the windows and doors, afraid of snakes and scorpions, for fear of coming to find their bad luck.

For such people, even characters like Du Pu are already the ones they can't afford to provoke.

This place is remote and dirty, according to common sense, the head of the Ding family should not have passed by, but the adjacent place in front of the two streets is a big house, spanning two streets and three alleys, Shengsheng cut it into a dead end, in addition to the shortcut to this street, the detour is at least more than a mile, so it has become the first choice of many people.

There is nothing suspicious about this pile......

And look at it, not long to the mouth of the alley, six ugly suddenly smell a touch of blood, look up to see a curtain, the bamboo pole is picked high, there is a white powder writing seal body 'weasel' word, the handwriting is faint, almost missing, under the curtain is a half-covered door butcher shop, the case is thrown more than ten skin, cut off the head of the small corpse, next to the wall there are countless furs, one by one, the wooden nails around, or gray or black, it is the mouse of the later generations.

There is an old dog tied to the meat case, gnawing on a bunch of rat heads, and the rare smell of meat makes it happy to chew, but I don't know that it is a delicacy bought by the butcher to treat the five internal organs, and it will be slaughtered until the sunset.

In the recipes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, princes and nobles ate deer, bears, roe deer, geese and other things, scholars and officials ate cattle, sheep, geese, etc., ordinary people ate dogs, dolphins, chickens, ducks, old horses and sick cattle, etc., and only lowly or poor people ate rats, fish and various insect cocoons.

What is sold here is the rat meat that is given to the lowly and others, and it is also one of the most common foods purchased by the pavilion soldiers.

Walking to the door, just saw the short and fat butcher carrying a bamboo basket out, inside was seven or eight dead rat corpses, before the skin was peeled off the head, raised his eyes and saw the three people from the fat Du Pu, hurriedly sang, bowed and smiled: "I beg the thief to be well! ”

The six ugly had no likes or dislikes for rat meat, but seeing the eagerness in the eyes of the two of them, they wanted to ask something, so they nodded casually: "Well, since you are here, choose some with me and go back to the pavilion to eat." ”

Seeing that the six ugly men agreed to buy meat, they immediately raised their stomachs, stretched out their hands to rummage and pick at will, and said in disgust: "The thief Zhang San! is full of shriveled and thin things, how dare you take it out and beg the thief in front of it, why don't you quickly take some fat out and slaughter it?"

The butcher Zhang San shook his face again and again, and said with a bitter face: "Ask the thief to atone for his sins, the two adults listen, it is not that the villain hides the fat one, but it is strange recently, and the catches everywhere are not only rare, but also rare and large, and I don't know how." ”

"It's autumn solstice, but the ferret is not fat?" Ren Fu didn't believe it, and said with a tiger face: "Zhang San, tell me yourself, do you believe this?"

The butcher Zhang San was so anxious that his face was full of wrinkles, and he couldn't help but say: "If you don't believe it, just go into the house and search, if there is still one, even if you beat me to death, Zhang San will never complain." ”

Ren Fu snorted heavily, turned his head and said to the six ugly: "My lord, this person is so uninteresting, I just bought two fat ferrets in Li Si's store a few days ago, and he dared to gamble and coax, I am afraid that it is related to this case, is it ......?"

"The adults are clear, the villain really doesn't dare to deceive!" Zhang San listened to the meaning of Ren Fu's words, and actually wanted to detain a case on his head, so he knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and cried: "My lord doesn't know, the weasel in Li Si's store was collected by the husband outside the city, and there are really no big goods in the city, even Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, and other stores are the same, and the villain can guarantee the head!"

Ren Fu was unmoved, only looked at the face of the six ugly, and Qi Qi immediately stepped forward and testified for him: "Lord Dupu, this Sanping is filial piety, even if I don't want to offend, how can I offend my lord for some meat, I think this matter must be false, why don't you pick a few more?"

Zhang San immediately picked up the lotus leaf, wrapped up all the rat meat on the case, put it on the case respectfully, and kowtowed to the ground.

The two pavilion guards sang and sang and the people were good at it, Zhang San really offered it honestly, so he took the lotus leaf bag with a smile and sold it in front of the six ugly, but he saw that the six ugly faces were not good, thoughtful, and he didn't know what to do, and suddenly heard him speak:

"Qi Si and Ren Fu, you two quickly go to the weasel stalls in the city and bring the shops to the pavilion, I have something to ask. ”

After saying that, he turned around and went, and the two of them were still on the spot.
