"Boss, why did the price of mutton in the town suddenly rise? Is there a sheep plague in the town recently?" Zhang Jing asked curiously.

When the boss heard Zhang Jing's question, he leaned over and smiled slightly, and then said, "It's not sheep plague, I don't know the specific situation." I heard that it seems that someone has recently stolen sheep, and the sheep will be inexplicably lost every day in the farmer's house. This matter has been reported a long time ago, and the yamen has been investigating again in the past two days, but the thief has not been caught. ”

It's not a plague, it's a thief stealing sheep?

And it's quiet, and the security team can't catch it?

Subconsciously, Zhang Jing immediately thought of the snitch combination of Black Rose and Little Shrimp.

These two snitches don't know why, after their identities were revealed, they didn't even want to leave Gantian Town, but also stayed in Gantian Town.

And I don't know where I got a sum of money and opened a rice shop!

But when I think about it, I think it can't be black roses and small shrimps.

Not to mention that stealing sheep is not something that snitches do, they want to steal valuable objects, so what are they doing by stealing sheep? Is it possible to make roast lamb for themselves?

And.

These two snitches are also principled people, they will not steal the money of ordinary people, they will only steal the homes of the rich and noble.

Could it be that some spirit came from Gantian Town, stealing food and raising?

Probably not.

There are no spirits, they like to eat sheep.

Only weasels, foxes or something, like to steal chickens to eat, I have never heard of stealing sheep to eat.

But just in case, don't miss a chance.

After eating the mutton steamed buns, Zhang Jing did not go back to the inn, but went to the security team, ready to ask Song Zilong about the situation.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Jing arrived, not only Song Zilong was there, but also Mao Xiaofang's two apprentices, Ah Chu and Ah Hai, were also there!

A few people were about to go to the farmer's house to check on the situation.

Song Zilong also suspected that maybe the sheep thief was not an ordinary thief, but a monster or something.

If it's a monster, it's not something that the security team can solve, you have to ask Fu Xitang to help, or ask Zhang Jing to help.

But it's not clear what happened to this matter, but some of them were lost, and no one was injured, so Song Zilong was embarrassed to disturb Zhang Jing.

As for Mao Xiaofang, he was seriously injured in the fight with Cixi, and his injuries are not yet good.

So I had to ask Ah Chu and Ah Hai to top it.

Ah Chu and Ah Hai have followed Mao Xiaofang for many years, and they have also learned some skills, they are half professionals, and if there are monsters, they should be able to find a little clue.

Seeing Zhang Jing coming, everyone was very surprised.

Hearing Zhang Jing say that he wanted to know about the theft of the sheep, Song Zilong suddenly became happy and said, "Great." In fact, we wonder if the lost sheep have been devoured by monsters, and we are now preparing to go to the farmer's house to see it. Daochang Zhang, you are free, it would be better to come with us. ”

Ah Chu and Ah Hai were also very happy.

Originally, they were invited by Song Zilong alone, without their master Mao Xiaofang to follow, the two of them were like fifteen buckets of water in their hearts, seven up and eight down, and their hearts were very empty.

Now that Zhang Jing is here, they are relieved.

If there is anything Zhang Daochang in front of, they only need to beat the soy sauce.

......

......

The farmer who raises sheep in Gantian Town is named Wang Laoqi.

This person has been raising sheep for more than ten years, and his family has raised dozens of sheep, and he is a professional sheep farmer.

Because of the sheep raising, a large sheepfold is needed, so the house of Wang Laoqi's family occupies a very wide area, and a large yard is enclosed with a fence.

Before they entered the courtyard, everyone smelled a great smell of mutton.

"Zhang Daochang, it's here. Captain Song pointed ahead and said.

Then he walked in the front, knocked on the closed door of the courtyard, and shouted: "Wang Laoqi, open the door!"

It's still early, the farmer has eaten lunch late, and the yard is cooking smoke, and it seems that lunch is still being cooked.

Hearing the shout, a middle-aged man with a fat figure and a rather honest face hurriedly ran out to open the door, stood at the door and asked, "Captain Song, didn't you say that you only came to catch thieves at night? Why are you here now?"

It seems that when he saw Song Zilong bringing people to help him catch the thief, he was not happy, but a little panicked.

Song Zilong pointed to Zhang Jing next to him and said, "Didn't you see Zhang Daochang coming? Zhang Daochang is free today, let's see if your family's raising has been stolen by some monster." ”

"Oh, oh......" Wang Laoqi nodded hurriedly, seeing Zhang Jing was obviously a little happy, but he was still a little panicked, "Daochang Zhang, Captain Song, I'll take you to the sheepfold to have a look." ”

And when he had said that, he was to lead them all into the fold.

"Wait a minute...... Zhang Jing sniffed hard, looked at the smoke rising from the back of the courtyard, looked at Wang Laoqi with a smile and asked, "Haven't you had lunch yet?"

Wang Laoqi didn't know why his eyes were more nervous, so he swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes...... Oh, yes. Our family had lunch late, we were cooking, and we haven't eaten yet. ”

Zhang Jing asked again, "What kind of food did you eat at noon?"

"That's it...... It's just ordinary peasant food, coarse tea and light rice. It's not delicious, and it definitely doesn't meet your appetite Zhang Daochang. Wang Laoqi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"It's okay, I'll take a look, I'm interested in farm food. ”

With that, Zhang Jing stepped forward and walked directly towards the back of the courtyard.

Song Zilong and others didn't know why, but subconsciously felt that Zhang Jing definitely didn't do this to eat, but had a deep meaning, so they also followed.

When everyone arrived at the back of the yard, they were a little stunned.

There's a pile of wood burning in the backyard, and a whole sheep hanging from it!

Song Zilong immediately stood up and asked: "Wang Laoqi, this is the coarse tea and light rice you are talking about? Ordinary peasant dishes? This is roasted whole sheep!"

Zhang Jing smiled and didn't speak.

This Wang Laoqi is quite good at pretending.

Roasting whole sheep is coarse tea and light rice, this ability to pretend to be forced can almost form the four heavenly kings of the pretending world with Liu Walldong, who does not know his wife, Liu Walldong, Repentant Ali Jackma, and Wang Jianlin, who has nothing!

"I ...... I ...... "Wang Lao Qi stammered for a while, and I didn't know how to explain it."

Ah Hai pointed at him and said, "What am I, I! Okay, you Wang Laoqi, we usually think that you are Wang Laoshi, it turns out that you are really enough to lose! We don't have any mutton to eat in the town, and you are still eating roast whole sheep here!"

After Ah Hai said this, others blamed one after another.

It's not that Wang Laoqi can't eat mutton.

Eating sheep is your freedom.

But at this time, you don't sell the sheep anymore, saying that your own sheep has been stolen, which has caused the price of mutton in the town to rise sharply, and now you eat roast whole sheep alone at home.

It's a bit too extravagant!

Thinking about it a little deeper, everyone couldn't help but wonder if it was this Wang Laoqi who was secretly doing evil!

In fact, the sheep in his family were not inexplicably stolen at all! It was he who lied and concocted a pretense to create the false impression that the supply of sheep was insufficient, and then took the opportunity to raise prices!

Hearing everyone's accusations, Wang Laoqi's forehead was sweating like rain, he kept waving his hands and shaking his head, and said with a sad face: "It's not like this...... It's not like that......"

"Isn't that the case? Now that people have been caught with stolen goods, we have been caught, and you still say that this is not the case!" Song Zilong said angrily: "You said that your sheep are always stolen, but we have not caught a thief for a long time, it turns out that you are a thief shouting to catch a thief, and you are guarding and stealing!"

"Master Mao, Captain Song, listen to my explanation!" Wang Laoqi wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, turned his heart sideways, and said bluntly: "I'll tell you the truth! Yes! My raisings have not been stolen, but they often die inexplicably! Sometimes several die a day! What I eat here is a dead sheep!"

Hearing Wang Laoqi say this, everyone still didn't believe it at first, thinking that this was still his message.

But soon, Wang Laoqi led everyone to his house, and there were several dead sheep in it, and everyone believed it.

"The sheep wasn't stolen, it's dead?" Then why didn't you say it, and report that your sheep was stolen?" Song Zilong frowned and asked.

Wang Laoqi said weakly: "I'm afraid that after I say it, people will think that my sheep have a strange disease and can't eat it, so no one will buy my sheep." However, although my sheep died of a strange disease, it did not affect it. You see, I'm eating dead mutton these days, but I don't have anything to do!"

"If you say it's okay, it's okay. If you have a sick sheep and die, it's better not to eat it!" Song Zilong shook his head and said.

"Not really. I have raised sheep for more than ten years, and I can see that the sheep have plague. My sheep didn't get sick at all, but I don't know why, I often get up in one night, and several of them die in the sheepfold!"

As he spoke, Wang Laoqi looked at Zhang Jing in horror, walked over and grabbed Zhang Jing with both hands, and begged: "Daochang Zhang, save me, save my sheep!

"Don't panic, don't panic, I'll take a look at ......"

Zhang Jing patted his hand and comforted. After checking the corpses of these dead sheep, he soon found out the reason, and said in surprise: "These sheep were all sucked blood and died!"

"Vampire, are there still zombies in our town?" Song Zilong's expression suddenly became nervous.

If it's just the sheep being stolen, the price of mutton in the town will rise, which is still a trivial matter.

But if there are still zombies, that's a big deal!

Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "It's not a zombie. Although it is possible for a newly transformed zombie to suck the blood of an animal, this is obviously not sucked by a zombie. ”

"Is that a monster?" Song Zilong asked.

"It's possible that it's a youkai. Zhang Jing nodded and said, "But it's also possible, it's human!"

"Why do people still want to suck sheep's blood?" Song Zilong was puzzled.

Ah Chu and Ah Hai explained: "Some people practice evil arts! My master also told us that some people go astray and become evil cultivators, and they can do anything!"

"That'...... What should I do then!Daochang Zhang, you want to save me!" Wang Laoqi said in horror.

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will help you figure out whether the murderer behind this is a human or a demon." ”

But it's a monster.

If it's a monster, you can brush up on a wave of merit points.

If it is an evil cultivator, there is no merit in the account.
