My Endless Life.

Chapter 211 'Scapegoat'

If Li Qi knew what Wang the Butcher was complaining about, he would definitely answer: Because a gentleman should not be under a dangerous wall.

But having said that, Li Qi just wanted to see Wang the Butcher's martial arts and take a break at the same time.

After all, with such a useful tool here, why should he go up and fight the wild boar monster himself and work so hard?

But just now was just now, and now is now.

In order to allow Jiang Ming and his team to capture the wild boar monster alive, Li Qi had no choice but to take action.

Besides, cutting off the wild boar monster's teeth doesn't mean that the monster will just sit there and wait to die.

After rolling on the ground in pain for a few times, the wild boar demon immediately stood up and rushed towards Li Qi with a fierce look in his eyes.

But then Jiang Ming rushed to Li Qi, drew out his long knife and pressed it against the wild boar monster's nose!

The wild boar demon grunted and wrestled with Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was no match for the wild boar monster in strength and was about to be knocked out by the wild boar monster when Wang the Butcher arrived in time.

He jumped directly onto the wild boar's back, strangled the wild boar demon's neck with the scabbard of his knife, and exerted force suddenly. The wild boar demon was immediately knocked to the ground!
A man and a pig fell to the ground in the blood.

Wang the Butcher held the wild boar monster's neck tightly and the two rolled around in the blood. Seeing this, Jiang Ming immediately rushed forward and helped Wang the Butcher control the wild boar monster. At the same time, he swung out with his right fist and hit the wild boar monster's nose!
No matter what kind of animal it is, the nose is a weakness that cannot be avoided.

After being hit by Jiang Ming, the wild boar demon suddenly let out a cry that was even more miserable than before. The whole pig had lost all its strength and was struggling in the arms of Wang the Butcher.

Jiang Ming immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued the wild boar monster, and at this moment, the constable who had just escaped also rushed over with a fishing net and a rope.

"Quick! Tie it up!"

Jiang Ming, who was rolling on the ground with the wild boar, saw the detectives coming back and immediately shouted to them.

The detectives rushed forward, some threw fishing nets over the wild boar, some used ropes to tie up the wild boar demon. After a lot of effort, they finally subdued the wild boar demon.

Only when the wild boar monster was subdued did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the wild boar demon groaning on the ground, tied up with fishing nets and ropes, Jiang Ming turned to Li Qi and asked:

"Sir...what on earth is this...?"

"We'll talk later. Go investigate the house first."

Li Qi pointed to the inner room at the back of the courtyard.

The detectives from the Six Gates quickly entered the house to investigate. After a while, Jiang Ming came out of the house and said to Li Qi with a serious expression:

"Sir, we have finished the investigation. It is a mess inside. There is nothing suspicious. There is only one... a broken body..."

"Corpse?"

"It's... Butcher Feng's mother."

"..."

Li Qi was silent.

He turned his head and looked at the wild boar demon on the ground, which had been fed with sleeping pills and was groaning without strength, and sighed softly:

"...First, transport this thing... to the cell at the Six Gates. The rest of you, clean up this place and check if there are any other suspicious places..."

"Yes!"

Everyone from the Six Gates responded and took action. Li Qi looked at the wild boar demon and fell into deep thought.

The predecessor of the wild boar monster should be Feng the butcher.

But unlike the bat spirit that the leader of the Feisha Gang transformed into, the wild boar demon obviously did not have a consciousness of its own.

It was just like the toad spirit that Li Qi encountered in another city last time.

If 'turning people into monsters' is considered as some kind of experiment, then the irrational boar monster and the toad monster are obviously failures.

Only the bat demon transformed by the leader of the Feisha Gang can be considered a successful product.

But if this is true, then who initiated this experiment?
Li Qi walked towards the Six Gates while thinking.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and turned his eyes in a certain direction.

Jiang Ming beside him noticed Li Qi's gaze and was about to look over, but soon he heard Li Qi say:

"Captain Jiang, please go back first. I have some small matters to take care of."

"…Sir, don't you want me to follow you?"

"No, we don't need you. Go back. By the way, help me pick out the case files of the Feisha Gang in recent years. I will take a look when I get back."

"Yes."

Since Li Qi had no intention of letting Jiang Ming stay, it would be difficult for him to stay.

He bowed to Li Qi and left quickly.

Li Qi watched him go away, sighed softly, walked to the intersection not far away, and said to the alley beside him:

"…Come out, I can sense you."

"Humph."

With a light snort, Li Qiao walked out from the corner of the alley. She muttered to Li Qi with a bad look on her face:
"How dare you drug me... Li Qi, you're done for!"

"If I don't do this, you will definitely take me back by force..."

Li Qi's eyes wandered and he whispered in defense, but when he saw that Li Qiao's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, he immediately changed his words:
"Ahem, okay, I'll go back and make you my own hidden weapon as an apology. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Qiao looked disdainful. She raised her head proudly, stretched out two fingers and said:
"I want two!"

“…Okay, two is fine.”

The mechanisms that Li Qi made himself had his own unique personal style, because he was nominally making hidden weapons, but in reality he was making relics.

Although many relics cannot be made, it is a system from another world after all, so it will certainly make people feel novel. Some relics are even much more useful than ordinary mechanisms.

Now inside Qiqiao Villa, the hidden weapons that Li Wenxin and Li Qiao carry with them were all prepared by Li Qi.

However, it is impossible for Li Qi to make the hidden weapons he wants anytime and anywhere. Therefore, if you want to get something made by Li Qi himself, you either have to wait or make an appointment.

This also applies to Li Qiao, even though she is Li Qi's biological sister, she still needs to make an appointment.

So now that Li Qi agreed to make two mechanical props for her for free, she would of course be happy to accept it.

As for the incident where Li Qi knocked her unconscious before...

What dizziness? What before?
Li Qi has always been a good brother to Li Qiao. How could he do something that would make his sister sad?

No, it doesn't exist!
Li Qiao thought so in her heart.

After using the "Memory Clearing Technique", Li Qi and Li Qiao immediately put the previous events behind their minds. Li Qi looked around Li Qiao and asked in surprise:
"Isn't Sister Yuzhu with you?"

"She originally wanted to come with me, but she received a letter from Xuanjian Sect asking her to go back... so I am the only one who came."

Li Qiao explained.

Originally, she planned to go back with Bai Yuzhu. She knew Li Qi. Since Li Qi didn't want to go back, even if she took Li Qi back by force, Li Qi could sneak out by himself.

So it would be better to go back with Bai Yuzhu first and settle the score with Li Qi later.

But who knew that on the way, Bai Yuzhu came to Xuanjianmen to deliver a letter, saying that there was something important to discuss with her.

As a last resort, Bai Yuzhu had to go back by herself.

After Bai Yuzhu left, Li Qiao thought for a long time before deciding to come back to find Li Qi.

She would be staying alone anyway, so she might as well "have some fun" with Li Qi. Besides, they are the "Two Heroes of the Li Family" only when they are together. How can they be called the "Two Heroes of the Li Family" if they are separated?

After explaining Bai Yuzhu's whereabouts, Li Qiao looked at Li Qi again and said to him with a smile:
"Besides, the bride cannot meet the groom frequently before she gets married, so if you want to see Yuzhu, you'll have to wait until after the wedding."

This was the custom in ancient times, and Li Qi was not surprised by it.

He nodded to Li Qiao, stopped asking about Bai Yuzhu, and started talking about the city instead:
"It's good that Sister Yuzhu is not here. Linbian Town is not that safe right now. It's better not to get involved if possible."

"So you're still staying here?"

Li Qiao frowned.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Because there are indeed monsters here."

"…Can't you change your habit of pursuing weird things?"

Li Qiao felt even more helpless after listening to what Li Qi said.

But perhaps she was already used to Li Qi being like this, Li Qiao sighed and said:
"Forget it. Since you insist on staying here to investigate this matter, I will stay and help you. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Li Qiao asked after sighing.

Li Qi touched his chin, thought for a moment and said:
"There is one thing you need to do."

"what?"

"Help me collect information from the streets. Some of this information may not be known to those within the Six Gates."

The Six Gates are officials, even if they are dealing with people from the underworld, they are still officials.

Officials are officials and the people are the people. In this era when the distinction between officials and the people is still clear, a lot of news that only circulates among the people will not enter the official window.

That is why Li Qi often goes to restaurants to drink, because people in the underworld sometimes know more news. Even if a lot of the news is spread through rumors, it still has its reference value.

Li Qi caught the pig demon, so he probably won't be able to go to the restaurant often during this period. Moreover, He Ru has already set her sights on Li Qi, so if possible, he should try not to reveal too much evidence.

Because of this, the task of collecting information from the public can only be handed over to others.

Originally, Li Qi thought of Wang the Butcher, but now that Li Qiao is here, let Li Qiao do it.

Compared with the strange butcher Wang, Li Qiao is at least Li Qi's relative in this life.

"Go and get information from the public..." Li Qiao thought for a moment and answered straightforwardly, "Sure, leave it to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you, sister."

Li Qi said to Li Qiao gratefully, and then watched Li Qiao leave.

Looking quietly at the back of his sister in this life, Li Qi let out a breath and suddenly said:
"Uncle Zhong, please help me take care of my sister."

"Master, what about you?"

Zhongbo could not be seen, only his voice was heard.

Li Qi didn't go to find him, and said softly: "I won't leave the Six Gates easily, and I have ways to protect myself. If things get bad, I can use the distress fireworks to ask for help. Nothing will happen... Sister's safety is the most important."

As he spoke, he turned towards Li Qiao again.

When Li Qiao went back before, Li Qi was not too worried, so he did not ask Zhong Bo to protect Li Qiao.

But not now.

The water near the border town is getting deeper and deeper. If Li Qiao rashly gets involved now, an accident might happen. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, she has to find someone to protect her.

After all, Li Qiao is special to Li Qi.

Li Qi didn't keep anyone in suspense.

Li Qiao...

He was the scapegoat he had 'created' himself.
