No taboos

Chapter 134 Blood Salt Haunting (asking for monthly ticket)

The leader was wearing the uniform of a prosecutor. A lieutenant behind him stepped forward first, threw something in his hand, and hit the blood rat with a splash.

These things turned out to be dozens of soybeans.

The blood rat was hit and scattered with a bang, turning into blood particles again, jumping and scattering on the ground with crackling sounds.

The inspector placed his hand on his sword and snorted coldly, "It's those salt smugglers who are creating this 'blood salt evil' again!"

This time Xu Yuan also saw clearly that those blood particles were actually coarse salt grains that had absorbed blood!

The salt smugglers have a method: they capture a poor person, cut many wounds on his body with a knife, and then smear the wounds with coarse salt!

The man screamed in pain, but was unable to die for a while.

Once the salt has dissolved, apply it again.

After such cruel and repeated torture, the man died in great pain and full of resentment.

After death, salt particles are precipitated from the wounds and then fed to mice.

When mice eat this salt, they will undergo a strange transformation and their form can change between mice and bats at will.

If he turned into a bat, he could explore the way for the salt smugglers; if he turned into a mouse, he could steal from the government treasury for the salt smugglers.

However, the salt smuggler's "method" is not perfect, it is more like Bai Laoyan's folk remedy, so it often loses control, and is about to pounce on and eat its master, and then completely turns into an evil spirit!
The blood particles on the ground wanted to escape, but the soybeans were determined to catch them. They chased after each other, quickly taking root and sprouting, trapping all the blood particles.

These blood particles were forced to gather together again and turned into a blood rat again.

The soybean seedlings grew rapidly, their roots piercing into the blood rat's body, sucking it dry and producing new pods.

clap clap clap!
The bean pods burst open, and the captain collected the new soybeans. He reaps what he sows, and he collected hundreds of soybeans.

The inspector glanced at him and said, "Zhou Leizi, you're ahead again! And every time you make me clean up your mess."

Zhou Leizi smiled and looked at it, happily holding a small bag of soybeans, throwing one into his mouth and chewing it with a crunching sound.

"Boss, you should eat some too, it's very crispy."

The inspector shook his head and said, "I won't eat it. It's too salty because of the blood salt demon." After saying that, he spit out a breath of fire from his stomach and burned the shriveled corpse of the blood rat and the soybean vines into ashes.

Zhou Leizi shared it with his colleagues.

"The crops produced by this 'farming method' are good things. Eating them will benefit your cultivation."

The inspector warned: "Don't eat too much! Be careful of the evil spirits resurrecting in your body! Zhou Leizi, you have used the farming method twice tonight, you are not allowed to use it again!"

"I understand," Zhou Leizi said. "I'm just anxious. Lord Lu was also killed. The young men sent by the Southern Office were frightened and hid away. They only left one of their errand boys at the government office..."

The inspector growled, "Zhou Leizi, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll tear out your tongue!"

"I won't say it anymore, can't I just stop saying it?" Zhou Leizi hummed, and finally said: "I've said it before, I don't trust those outsiders."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Leizi was hit on the head and became completely obedient.

Then this team of officers from the Extermination of Filth Division continued to patrol along the streets.

Xu Yuan frowned. Has the news that the three of us are not in Champa Office tonight spread so quickly?
But the news that we found the shoe prints hidden under the bloodstains and that Lu Qiuyang had been autopsied did not seem to spread at the same time?

"Is someone in the Champa Office deliberately spreading news that is unfavorable to us?"

Xu Yuan touched his chin, and his gaze suddenly fell on the backyard of "Yi Lihe" outside the window.

Four sets of official uniforms from the Exorcism Bureau were found there, corresponding to the four of us - could it be that someone wants to put the blame on us?
Xu Yuan's expression became serious.

Xu Yuan didn't hold any grudge against Zhou Leizi, an ordinary captain, for his rude words.

Most of them are just being manipulated unconsciously.

But Xu Yuan treated Zhou Leizi and Lang Xiaoba differently. If Zhou Leizi happened to fall into his hands, he would teach him a lesson: people need to be virtuous in their speech.

There is no need to give him a special lecture.

From this group of people, Xu Yuan also saw that the people in the Champa Office's Department of Purity Elimination obviously still had some blood in their veins. After Lu Qiuyang was killed, these people started to patrol at night.

Even if it means risking my own life, I must find out the evil spirit that does evil.

Xu Yuan stayed for two hours and witnessed all kinds of evil spirits in Champa.

Indeed, most people understand the "rules", such as a weasel that starts from the other end of the street, lifts its hind legs and urinates at the door of every other house along the way.

It won't alarm anyone, and not every house will urinate on it.

But these evil spirits follow these rules only because they have no choice.

When the time came, Xu Yuan patted Fu Jingyu up and said, "It's your turn. I'll take a nap, so don't call Song Lu anymore. I'll replace you when the time comes."

Fu Jingyu nodded, thinking that Xu Yuan was taking care of his junior sister.

In fact, Xu Yuan was just worried about Song Lu. He was watching this girl alone. Xu Yuan and Fu Jingyu went to rest next door. She was in a daze. What if she missed any clues... So we two can take turns and let her have a good rest.

Fu Jingyu didn't call Xu Yuan later. Xu Yuan was on the bed and Dafu was under the bed. They slept soundly until dawn.

"Those people didn't come?"

"No." Fu Jingyu answered without complaining that he had waited all night in vain.

This is how case handling works. You may make a lot of efforts but all your energy will be wasted. However, many cases are solved by using this method similar to "building a strong fortress and fighting a stupid battle".

The detective had an idea and found the most crucial part among the complicated clues, and then cleverly solved the case - it was the script told by the storyteller in the big teahouse.

Fu Jingyu took out his pocket almanac and looked at today's taboos:

Counting accounts, needlework, heavy makeup, and singing opera.

When Xu Yuan saw this taboo, he thought to himself: The commercial law is abolished today.

In unconventional fields like commercial law and illegality, which always seem to be able to unexpectedly cheat people, you will encounter this situation.

After all, it is not a serious Taoist method.

On days like this, they were no different from ordinary people. If they were found by their enemies, their death would be truly miserable.

Song Lu knocked on the door and came in: "Why didn't you call me..."

Xu Yuan and the other man smiled but said nothing.

Song Lu slept all night, but she didn't look very energetic. Also, because heavy makeup was prohibited today, her face looked dull and she felt that she was not beautiful today, so she avoided her senior brother.

"Then I'll treat you two to breakfast." Song Lu said with a yawn.

Xu Yuan, still a conscientious official, reminded: "Give Yu Yunhang a copy."

Although the north side of the city is not as popular as the south, the consumption here is more upscale.

Breakfast cost Song Lu one or two taels of silver.

Xu Yuan felt a pang of pain, and thought of another thing: How much is my monthly salary as a patrol inspector?
I forgot to ask Ma Tianshou.

The three of them returned to Champa Office. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Lang Xiaoba following Yu Yunhang closely, not leaving his side for a moment!

Seeing the three men, Lang Xiaoba put on a sullen face, took off his sword, and presented it to Xu Yuan with both hands: "If you, my lords, still want to get rid of me today, just chop off my head.

Even if you don't kill me, Master Zhu won't spare me."

　This case can be finished in the next two days, and then Inspector Xu can assemble his team and officially take up his post!
　　Backflip and ask for monthly ticket!
