Chapter 41: There's a Problem Here!
Although it was dusk, the streets were not as deserted as in Luo County, and there were still people wandering the streets.
Some tea shops, restaurants, etc. on the street are still doing brisk business.
After all, this is not Luo County, but a capital city, which is much more prosperous than Luo County.
Under the leadership of Liu Yuan, Liu Yi and a large group of people roamed the streets and walked towards the south of the city.
The houses in the south of the city are low and dilapidated, and most of them are inhabited by some outsiders or some of the lowest people in the city.
Nine Fingers lives in the south of the city.
"Lord Palm Print, this is the ancestral home of Nine Fingers. Originally, his family was quite solid, but unfortunately after the death of his parents, Nine Fingers became a gambler and sold all the things in the house. The only thing that was not sold was the ancestral house, but it was also mortgaged to the gambling house before he died. ”
Liu Yuan introduced the situation of Nine Fingers to Liu Yi in detail.
In fact, these circumstances are recorded in detail in the file, and Liu Yi took a look at it, and he knew it more or less.
Liu Yi did not speak, but carefully observed the situation around the room.
He found that Nine Fingers' house was surrounded by houses, and they were very close to each other.
"Uncle Gray, go and ask the neighbors around Nine Fingers, have they heard or seen anything unusual about Nine Fingers in the past few days?"
"Yes, young master. ”
Uncle Gray took two people to inquire.
Liu Yi walked towards the house, but just when he walked to the gate, he saw that the door was locked by a lock.
"Who's locked it?"
Liu Yi asked.
Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment: "It should be the owner of the gambling house, Liu Laojiao, who let him lock it, and this ancestral house of Nine Fingers has been mortgaged to him." Master Palm Print, I'll have someone pick the lock. ”
"No need. ”
Liu Yi shook his head when he heard this.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Liu Yi directly stretched out his hand to hold the door lock, and then squeezed it hard.
"Bang".
There was a crunch.
In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, the door lock broke.
Liu Yi just held the door lock with one hand and pinched the door lock off, what kind of terrifying power is this?
Is this still human?
Even Liu Yuan was extremely shocked in his heart.
He was a confidant of the previous Inhuman, so he knew some of Inhuman's abilities.
But even if you are a stranger, you don't have the ability to pinch the door lock empty-handed?
Liu Yi also looks very thin.
How can there be such terrifying power under a thin body?
Liu Yi was not too surprised.
In fact, during this time, he gradually became familiar with his own powers.
Among them, the most surprising thing for him was the strength of his body.
This time, he pinched the door lock and didn't use the power of the foreign object at all.
If the power of a foreign body is used once, it is equivalent to consuming his own life, and Liu Yi will not use it until the most critical moment of last resort, how can he consume his life because of a door lock?
Therefore, he is purely using the power of his own body.
After becoming an inhuman, Liu Yi's body gradually changed.
He is no longer afraid of pain, and his strength is infinite.
Just like when he encountered the living corpse of Red Sleeves in the old mansion, more than a dozen guards couldn't pull Red Sleeves.
Now Liu Yi is similar, his strength is very strong, and it is no longer something that ordinary people can imagine.
Liu Yi knew that it was the hosta that was subtly changing his body.
In other words, this is a "side effect" of the hosta's power.
Hostas are inherently capable of turning people into living corpses.
Liu Yi looks like this now, and there is a heartbeat, he doesn't look like a living corpse, but he actually has some characteristics of a living corpse.
Liu Yi pinched off the door lock, and then left the door lock on the ground.
"Squeak".
The door was pushed open, the doors and windows were closed, the air was very muddy, and there was even a hint of corpse stench.
"Liu Yuan, this is a strange incident, and it is not so easy to find the patterns and clues in it. So from now on, every word I make, as well as every key place around me, every detail, you have to record it and make it into a file for review, can you do it?"
Liu Yi suddenly stopped and said to Liu Yuan.
This is also some of the experiences that Liu Yi remembers in another life.
Induction, summarization, checking and filling in the gaps, in this era, not everyone can think of and actually do.
But Liu Yi is different.
He knew very well how difficult it was to find patterns in strange events.
Sometimes there's even a glimmer of clue.
If you can't catch it, or if you miss it, then it's too difficult to find a pattern.
Therefore, every key place, every subtle clue, and even every word spoken in the strange event must be recorded.
Of course, this is a huge challenge.
Not everyone can be this "recorder".
This requires a very strong ability to generalize, as well as the ability to perceive, what should be recorded and what should not be recorded, which must be well known.
Liu Yuan also knew very well that this was Liu Yi's test for him.
If he can't do it or if he fails to do it, then I'm afraid he really won't have a chance to stay in the Inhuman Division.
So, Liu Yuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "Master Palm Print, I know, I'll go and prepare the pen and ink now." ”
Liu Yi nodded.
There are also some shops nearby, so it's not a problem to buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
It didn't take long for Liu Yuan to return.
He already had a brush and paper in his hands, ready to take notes.
Liu Yi didn't care about Liu Yuan anymore, but said directly: "The house is messy, dusty, and there are no obvious traces of fighting and blood......
Liu Yi said while Liu Yuan was recording on the side.
In fact, when Liu Yi was talking about these things, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
For this strange incident, Liu Yi did not underestimate it at all.
On the contrary, he is more cautious.
No single weird incident is easy to solve.
This is his second weird incident, this time without An Yuansheng, Liu Yi must rely on himself and take others to solve this weird incident together.
Although the responsibility is heavy, and even Liu Yi still has many lives on his shoulders, Liu Yi is very calm.
It seems that the more time like this comes, the calmer he becomes.
"It was here that Nine Fingers hanged himself, and there were still some stains on the ground from dripping corpse water. ”
Liu Yi seemed to have a picture in his mind.
One silent night, a bad gambler loses the ancestral house and becomes nothing.
Disheartened, he took a rope and died silently in despair.
Liu Yi stood in place, he closed his eyes.
At this time, he seemed to "see" the corpse hanging on the beam, and "saw" the unwillingness and regret on the face of Nine Fingers.
Only, there's a catch.
Nine Fingers has not become a bad gambler in the last few days, in fact, more than ten years ago, Nine Fingers was already a bad gambler, and sold everything that could be sold at home.
But even when he was a bad gambler, he never thought of exchanging his ancestral house for gambling money.
This may well be his bottom line.
But why did Nine Fingers choose to gamble with his ancestral house this time?
The bottom line that has been adhered to for more than ten years collapsed in an instant?
There's a problem here!
