Chapter 217: After many days of hard searching, the devil gradually appeared

Coming to the entrance of the cave, Yun Qing looked at everything in the cave, his eyes were moist, but as long as he was a person, who could allow such a brutal thing to happen in front of him, Yun Qing secretly swore, "Even if I can't beat you as a demon, I can't stop there, as long as I find his traces, I only hate you if I don't find someone to break your body into pieces." ”

The spell collapsed the cave, hoping that no one would disturb the long sleep of these poor girls, and then flew up, chased in the direction of the return of the black clouds, walked about thirty miles, and a town appeared not far in front, the city wall of the four sides was two zhang high, there were roads in all directions, and the pedestrians were weaving, and it seemed to be a relatively prosperous town.

Far away Yun Qing pressed the limelight, his spirit was restrained, pretending to be a miscellaneous wild dog swaying and approaching the edge of the town, wanting to see if it was convenient for him to enter and exit here, and after observing for a long time, he saw that there were wild dogs entering and exiting the city gate, and people didn't care, Yun Qing put his mind at ease, and only waited until dusk when the city gate was about to close, and followed a few carriages into the town.

When it was getting dark, people were busy closing their stalls, and pedestrians on the road were also hurrying home, no one paid attention to the puppy wandering around, and Yunqing was looking around for clues of evil demons, but he didn't find any useful clues until the second half of the night, and then he could only wait for dawn to find a place with more people to listen to the news.

Yun Qing now has to find out whether there are girls missing in this town, this is very important, there are so many girls in the cave, if they disappear in a town, it will definitely attract people's attention, and someone will definitely talk about it during the day, and the other is that there is no trace of demonic energy or demonic energy in this town, Yun Qing is a little suspicious, "Could it be that it is in the town in the front, ask for another day tomorrow, if not, go forward and look for it." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Yun Qing came to a sunny place outside the town very early, which is a place for the old men in the town to bask in the sun, smoke dry cigarettes, chat and joke during the day, there will be wild dogs and dogs gathered here, Yun Qing mixed in this dog group, ran past the old man, and did not arouse any suspicion.

After running for a while, he found a corner and a bedroom, and listened to the old man's chat, "Old guys, my son came back from outside a few days ago and told me something, there are girls in several nearby towns who disappeared for no reason, no matter how they looked, they couldn't find it, and the mayor and the heavenly masters of the Peace Hall couldn't find out the reason, and later said that they reported to the county guard, and they would send a master to come in the next few days." ”

"Someone is missing, how can there be no reason, a big living person, it is impossible to say that there is no and there is no it," "Really, very evil, there is a girl who turned into the alley with her brother one after the other, and the sister in front is gone, I think it must be an evil spirit, fortunately, no one has disappeared in our town, go back and take care of your little granddaughter, don't let it out in the house these days." ”

Hearing this, many old men hurriedly got up and went back to see their granddaughter, the old man here hurled and walked almost halfway away, Yun Qing couldn't find out anything, and left this town to check on several missing girls' towns near it, for two days, Yun Qing walked around the neighborhood and found a suspicious point.

The town he went to for the first time was called Sour Jujube Town, and there were no girls lost in the town, but there were children missing in several towns around it, "It's strange, the evil demon has patronized these towns, but the town in the middle has been spared, there must be demons in the abnormality, I'm still squatting in this sour jujube town, and this is the most suspicious." ”

However, for several days, the black cloud did not reappear, and several nearby towns suddenly became peaceful, which made Yun Qing more sure, "This evil demon must be here, I destroyed his cave, he must have seen it, and this has relented, this has caused me a lot of trouble, where can I find the evil demon if he does not show up." ”

Walking in the town every day, seeing who are the common people, once a carriage walked by the side woke up Yunqing, "I just pay attention to the people, there are many big families in this town, in and out of the sedan chair, back and forth carriages and horses, never show their true faces, I might as well go to these big families to see, it is too easy to hide a demon in their deep mansion compound." ”

There are a few rich and powerful families in Sujube Town, the mayor counts one, the coat shop counts one, the grain store counts one, and there is a medical hall, a commercial house, a restaurant, the town counts the territory they occupy is large, and there are many houses, Yunqing searched one by one, and harmed the restaurant once by the way, but still did not find any traces, since the last time I saw the black cloud, I have not found anything until now.

"I can't delay any longer, I still have a task on me, it's seven days in the blink of an eye, stay for another five days, if there is no result, I will send the master's letter first, and then turn around and deal with the affairs here, after all, there is still the government," Thinking of this, Yun Qing stepped up his search, and picked out the three most suspicious from these ones, the third brother of the boss of the commercial bank is very suspicious, he hasn't married in his forties, it's not that the boss doesn't give him money, it's that he doesn't think about it at all, he lives in a simple house all day long, I don't know what he's doing, there are a few houses in the backyard of the commercial house, and he stays in it all day and doesn't come out.

The son of the owner of the medical hall is very suspicious, the family has money but never comes out to make trouble, his brain is fine, but he never goes to the private school to attend classes, and he stays in a tightly sealed room all day long It is very mysterious, and the mayor's family, his family of three, looks like there is no suspicious behavior, but Yunqing feels that his family is very weird, like something, like performing life for others to see, all the behavior reveals a smell of hypocrisy.

Just when Yunqing was busy working in the town, the county guard finally sent personnel to investigate the disappearance, led by a chief catcher, three monks and five officials, who came here to start the investigation with a total of forty or fifty people from the officials in these towns and the monks in the Peace Temple.

The key is that one of the three monks who came was proficient in tracking and tracing traces, and within two days he found the cave that Yunqing had destroyed, and when he opened it, of course he was enraged by the situation in front of him, but what was the use of anger, so they carefully looked for clues in the cave.

In fact, Yun Qing was a little unhelpful, he euthanized everyone to death, not to mention the secret method of hanging the demon that was cast, he also collapsed the cave, and a lot of information was destroyed, and the monk scolded at that time, "Which nosy grandson is so cheap, I know that you are kind, but you can't do this, if you come to inform us, maybe you can use this cave to wait for the rabbit, now there is nothing." ”

The chief catcher who led the team asked, "What did Xu Tianshi find," I saw Xu Tianshi pointing to two notches on a stone pillar, one deep and one shallow, and said, "This may be the best clue to guide us in the direction of finding the evil demon," everyone came forward when they heard this, but they didn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, "Xu Tianshi, this may be the trace left by the girl when she struggled before she died, this doesn't mean anything." ”

Xu Tianshi didn't speak, he bent down and turned out a white bone from under the rubble, it was half of a person's finger, Xu Tianshi pointed this half finger to the crowd, "This finger was cut off by a sharp weapon," and then put this half of the finger on the deep mark, it was obvious that the fingertips of the fingers were facing this shallow scratch.

Everyone asked Xu Tianshi suspiciously, "Since it is really the clue that the girl left us before she died, what does this scratch mean," Xu Tianshi said, "I don't know under what circumstances a mortal can leave a mark on a hard rock with his finger, but this is not the only one, you wait for me to use my means to show it." ”

I didn't see Xu Tianshi casting the spell, I saw him take out a bottle of liquid from his bag and pour it on the stone pillar, and after a while, there were traces near the shallow mark, and then people saw it clearly, and this shallow mark vaguely looked like a word, a "Ding" word.

"My potion can magnify the slight traces, even the slightest traces can be revealed, this character is the Ding character, then, we have to pay attention to the person surnamed Ding," "Xu Tianshi, I still have a question, how can this girl know this demon," "Maybe the evil demon is not an evil demon, or the people in the town may not know, collect the corpses of these girls, and then bury them after the evil demon is destroyed." ”

Everyone collected the corpses here, returned to Xingyuan Town first, and then began to secretly investigate the situation of people surnamed Ding in several nearby towns, if Yun Qing knew this T, he would immediately be able to lock down who the evil demon was, he, the daredevil, was still inexperienced, and almost ruined this important clue.

But what can you say about Yun Qing, he is so attentive to avenge the murdered girls, how many people in the world can be in this state of mind, just when Yun Qing was entangled in these suspicious three families, on this day, a monk came in Sour Zao Town, Yun Qing felt a mana fluctuation from afar, he didn't know whether the person who came was friend or foe, and immediately hid his traces and waited for the opportunity.

The people who came were the monks who handled the case, and those head-hunting officials did not follow, they continued to look for people surnamed Ding around, in fact, they also saw the suspicion of this sour date town, for the sake of caution and safety, only the monks rushed here to secretly check the situation.

Three monks came, one from the county and two local cultivators were relatively high, dressed as merchants and first found a hotel to live in, Yun Qing looked at them very funny, "You are still dressed up in wool, mana fluctuations can be felt ten miles away from me, you think the demon is a brain-dead, just look at the clothes." ”

Maybe this is a wise man's thousand worries must be missed, Yun Qing is very smart, but it is only limited to the practice of escaping, these monks are very smart, but it is only limited to tracking and tracing traces, disguise is not their strong point, but Yun Qing still made up his mind to follow these monks and act on the opportunity.

During the day, I didn't see these monks move, and at night, the three monks wore night clothes and flew to the town to overlook the whole town, and then they fell again, planting the flags outside the town one by one, Yun Qing was a little puzzled, "You started to arrange before you found someone, if someone is not in it at all, you are not working in vain." ”

Yun Qing watched the three monks fly up and down in the dark, and with a cup of tea, he finished arranging this magic circle, and then returned to the inn, Yun Qing performed the exercise of being like a shadow in the wind, and came to the outside of their house under the cover of the moonlight, listening attentively to the movement inside.

I heard it say, "Brother Xu, can you be sure that the evil demon is in the town, didn't he run out," this Xu Tianshi is also a little unsure, "This matter is accurate, but the case must be solved within a limited time, I just want to come to the grass to find the snake, I can be sure that this town is the evil devil's lair, but I can't be sure who he is, there are too many people surnamed Ding here, I can't be sure that he is not in it now, if something happens elsewhere in the past few days, then we will make other plans,." ”

"If he should be able to detect these actions we did just now in the town, then, the next thing is to wait, wait for him to come out on his own," "Brother Xu, you are so sure that his lair is in this town," "Don't worry, with my years of experience, I can smell him in the town, so we can only make a move if he jumps out, and this great achievement is indispensable for a rich reward, you both are in good spirits, don't make a mistake." ”

"Since my brother is so sure, then we will listen to my brother," "Well, in this way, we will be divided into three shifts and monitor the movements here continuously throughout the day," "Okay, then let's start tonight, I'll come first," "Okay, then we'll rest first," the three of them divided their work to monitor the movements of the town for a day.

Yun Qing listened to it outside sincerely, "The surname is Ding, there is not a family surnamed Ding among the three families I screened, I will go to find out tonight, and I will not reward anything, just to be comfortable," got up and flew towards the one he chose.

When he got to the house overlooked, the lights flickered below, and from time to time there were guards in the courtyard to patrol in a team, Yun Qing found a secluded place to fall, and began to wander around this yard, the place where he fell was the front yard, where the guys lived, and the lights were still on here, and the guys on night duty were still busy with the work in their hands, Yun Qing quietly came up, and learned from their mouths that the head of the house was entertaining business partners, and most of them were busy with this matter.

"That's good, I'll take the opportunity to go to the backyard and see what that person is busy with," Yun Qing didn't hide his figure, and swaggered to the backyard, along the way, people saw Yun Qing and just thought that this was raised by that family, and they were all busy to death, who would care about this little dog, a kitchen guy also took a steamed bun to feed Yun Qing, Yun Qing picked up the steamed bun with a black face and left, hating this guy in his heart.
