Bo Ziyu died.

His legs were soaked in muddy water, and his body was limp against the base of the wall.

Two hands are wrapped in front of him, and five heads are held in his arms.

At the bottom, the two small ones belong to the young brother of this family.

The two old ones in the middle with a hideous expression belong to Xing Zhutou, and the peaceful one is Xing Zhutou's wife.

And on top is Bo Ziyu's own head.

His youthful face was mixed with muddy water and dirty blood, and his eyes were filled with sorrow, anger, surprise, and a hint of abruptness.

The courtyard was crowded with trappers, and they stood solemnly in the rain, silent, quietly looking at Bo Ziyu's body and the two Taoists in front of him.

Feng Chong stretched out his hand several times, wanting to close his eyes for Bo Ziyu, but he paused several times.

Although they have not known each other for a long time, they have become good friends.

"I'll do it. ”

Li Changan saw that his eyes were red, his hands were trembling, and he took the initiative to take over the work of collecting the corpse.

In fact, the Taoist priest is also sad in his heart, but he often walks in troubled times, and he is used to seeing life and death, and he is somewhat accustomed to it.

He put Bo Ziyu's head on it, and then chanted softly:

"The Heavenly Venerables of the Ten Directions, in fact, are like sand and dust, transforming into the Ten Directions Realm, and Puji crosses the world ......"

The field became quieter, only the sound of rain and the sound of warp were accompanied.

Until.

"My girl, my son!"

In the yard, stumbling into a man.

He was the father of two siblings, and he used to look after the store for the owner, but he didn't want to hear such bad news.

The two servants hurriedly stepped forward and restrained him, but when the man saw the heads of the sisters and brothers, his body seemed to have been torn off bones, and he only closed his eyes and cried.

"What kind of system is it to be noisy and yelling, escort him out!"

In the courtyard, another man followed, dressed as an official, carrying a waist knife, and scolding his head.

The officials did not dare to refute the slightest, but only bowed in greeting.

"Jia catches the head. ”

Later, this person was the new chief catcher of Xiaoshui County.

It's a pity that not long after taking office, due to the demon epidemic, the government government handed over the dispatch of the fast catcher to Bo Ziyu, making him, the chief catcher, an ornament.

I heard that I can't bear this "great shame", and I have been living at home.

Right now, I don't know how to listen to the news, and regardless of the presence of monsters at night, I rushed to the scene in the rain, looked at Bo Ziyu's corpse for a while, and sighed faintly.

"Alas, Ziyu is young and promising, in the future, our fast hunting team will also have to rely on him to support, that is, he is reckless, if he brings more manpower, he will not lose his life in vain, and the old head catcher couple and the two little babies may be able to escape with their lives. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

He shook his head for a while, and his words were sorry for Bo Ziyu, but in his words, he buttoned the dead man's hat to Bo Ziyu's head.

Feng Chongben was reciting scriptures with Li Changan, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head: "The beginning and end of the matter have not been clarified, how can you conclude in one bite?!"

Jia Zhutou hurriedly glanced at Li Changan, and saw that he was just chanting, so he smiled at Feng Chong.

"Although Daochang Feng is profound, he must know that the investigation of the case is about evidence. ”

After that, this Jia Zhutou turned his head away, looking like "I don't mess with you unreasonably".

Feng Chong was angry, but he really didn't know how to investigate, and he was a reasonable person, for a while, he couldn't find the words to refute it, so he had to look at other catchers, but the catchers just avoided Feng Chong's gaze one by one, obviously not wanting to offend the living catcher for the dead team leader.

Then.

"Feng Daoren is not wrong. ”

A cold voice rang out from the room.

"Bo Bantou didn't kill anyone except himself. ”

Except for the men crying outside the door, there were only two Taoist priests and a group of people in the courtyard.

Since the Taoist priest didn't open his mouth, what he spoke was to catch fast?

Jia Zhutou immediately squinted his eyes, he wanted to see which guy was so ignorant of current affairs.

But just one eye.

He spun into the muddy water and shouted.

"Meet Lord Yu!"

The person who came was dressed in a red dress and wore a ghost face, which was the Yu Mei who had disappeared for a long time.

Li Changan was very curious, what were Yu Mei and the Zhenfu Division behind her doing these days? But right now, he was overspending Feng Chong, so it was inconvenient to be distracted, so he only listened to Yu Mei continue:

"The head of that Xing Zhutou has a corpse smell, where can the corpse of the newly deceased have a corpse smell? Daoist Feng, if you look closely, you will know that this Xing Zhutou has been infected with the demon plague and has become a 'corpse demon', not eating living things, but only eating the 'corpse demon' of the dead. ”

"The bodies of the two children in the house have been eaten, and when Bo Ziyu arrived, the two children were already dead. ”

She pointed to the marks of a fight in the house.

"Bo Ziyu was the first to fight the corpse demon in the house. ”

I walked to the yard again, pinched a trick, and the water under my feet separated, revealing the footprints and tumbling marks in the mud.

Then they fought in the courtyard. ”

She pointed last to a corner of the courtyard, where the mud was reddish, with a vague human-shaped depression in the mud, and a small pit about the place where the heart was, and in which some fragments of organs remained.

"Bo Ziyu killed the corpse demon here. ”

Although he had never seen it, everyone seemed to be able to see it at this moment, Bo Ziyu pressed the corpse demon into the muddy water, and pierced the monster's heart with a long knife.

"But if Brother Bo wins the monster, where is the monster's body? Who killed Brother Bo?"

As soon as Yu Mei appeared, Na Jia Zhutou only nodded his head, but it was Feng Chong who was more serious.

"It's simple. ”

There was no expression under the mask of Yu Mei, and his voice was still cold.

"There is a third party involved. It emerges from the shadows and strikes suddenly, killing the head of the thin squad. ”

"The attacker didn't leave any traces, he should also be a monster, and he is good at concealment, teaching this thin squad leader to die in a mess. ”

Feng Chong was still frowning, Jia Zhutou had already made a look, and let a group of officials pat themselves together, what "adults are aware of" and "what adults say is extremely true" are like rain.

However.

Yu Charen's last sentence was wrong. ”

But it was Li Changan who finished reciting the scriptures and suddenly spoke out.

"Although Brother Bo died, he did not die a foolish death. ”

He raised Bo Ziyu's clenched hand and spread out his palm, there was a finger-length hair in it, light yellow, which seemed to belong to some kind of animal.

"He has already told us who the killer is. ”

The Taoist priest pinched his hair and sniffed it gently.

A strange fragrance rushes into the nose.

This is a special fragrance made by a variety of precious spices in a secret recipe.

There is only one person in the entire Xiaoshui who has this kind of fragrance.

............

The three ladies of the Tanuki Building.

A name that no one would have thought of.

She was the first wealthy businessman to fund and support the elimination of demons, and she was also the first to come forward to contact the government and private forces to jointly destroy demons.

Although she does not appear much, in the eyes of many people, she is the most enthusiastic and active person to sweep away demons except Li Changan, Feng Chong, and Bo Ziyu.

It can be said that Li Changan and the three are responsible for carrying the knife, and the third lady is responsible for digging the silver.

Such a person...... Are they demons?

But after thinking about it, if the third lady is really a monster lurking in the dark under the lamp, then some problems can be explained.

From infection to demonization, the victim needs to eat a lot during the transformation.

It has been found that the food is transported by dung collectors, but what about the source of the food?

That's not a small amount.

However, the local area is mountainous and has few fields, and there is little grain production.

Most of the food eaten and brewed is transported from other places.

The supply in the city also depends on a few grain stores, and due to the demon epidemic, every grain on the grain bank's books is stared at to death, and any abnormal consumption and allocation will cause the government to be vigilant.

But ten days down.

The grain line was stunned and did not move at all.

In the past, I only thought that Lang Zhong secretly stored grain, but now I look at it, it is clear that it is the ghost inside, because this third lady is precisely the largest grain merchant in Xiaoshui.

Without further ado, the soldiers are fast.

Bo Ziyu's death finally touched the sluggish nerves of the government, and the next action can be called vigorous and resolute, opening the treasury, transferring the officials and archers, and for the first time, the "army" surrounded the Tanuki Tower in the rain, and the "demon hunters" from all walks of life also heard the sound and joined in to get a piece of the pie.

The Tanuki House is not only a building, but also a restaurant in front, and the restaurant is connected to the courtyard private room, and behind the private room is the private house of the three ladies, and the private house is connected to the grain storehouse.

It can be said that it covers a vast area.

Fortunately, there are many people here, and they are eager to make a fortune.

Simply divide into several strands and break in separately.

Yu Mei disappeared again, Feng Chong went to the other side, and Li Changan was mixed in a team of officials and entered through the side door of the restaurant.

Although he was promoted to the chief catcher a few days ago, he was "robbed of power" by Bo Ziyu, and now he finally seized the opportunity, of course, he has to perform well, strive for meritorious service, and sit firmly in the position of the chief catcher.

So, he took the lead in the front of the team.

But the corridor is full of black holes, as if monsters will emerge from any corner.

He couldn't help but hold Li Changan, kept talking, and relieved his nervousness.

"If it weren't for this incident, it would be rare to have peace tonight. ”

Li Changan said casually.

"How?"

"In the first few days, at this hour, the youkai have come out early to eat people. The city was full of gongs and drums, shouting and killing, but it was strange today, and I didn't listen to the slightest movement...... What does it smell like?"

The Taoist priest naturally smelled it.

It's a bouquet of wine.

It is the aroma of good sake.

To be precise, it is a kind of good wine unique to Tanuki House, which is formulated with the secret recipe of spices added to the finest wine.

It is said that in the past, it was only dedicated to the guests of the private room, but these days, it is occasionally distributed to reward the officials and "demon hunters" who patrol the night.

Li Changan has also drunk it a few times, and the taste is strong and the aroma is unique.

Leng Buding smelled it again, and there was a moment of drunkenness, and there was a little churning in his belly, as if he had aroused wine worms.

Who knocked over the jar?

Daoist Fang thought so, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, Jia Zhutou had been chattering, but now his voice seemed to be a little abnormal.

Li Changan turned his head to look.

Jia Zhutou was still standing in place, but the position of the head was only a neck, like a long white worm, trembling and winding up. The Taoist priest looked up, on the ceiling, and found his head.

Like a snowman in the sun, his facial features can't help but melt his head.

Smack.

The eyeballs fell out with the nose and smashed into a puddle of slime.

At this time.

In the rustling of rain.

Screams, howls, roars, and collisions were heard in the darkness at the same time.

Not far away, it should have been another team, and a cry of terror sounded.

"Help! Monsters! There are so many monsters...... Ahh

The Taoist priest silently held his sword, and glanced at it.

In the team of officials behind him, the long neck is like a forest.

And ahead, the headcatcher is still chattering.

"Guess ...... way"

His face had melted to the point that only one mouth was still open and closed.

"Where are the youkai?"
