New and dark light years

Chapter 98 Things change
At night, the three of them slept in a large dormitory room.

Zhao Xiaohu's snoring was very loud, which slightly affected Li Lin's sleep quality.

The next day, the three of them had some breakfast on the street and then came to the court.

County Magistrate Ma was already waiting here. "Three of you, how may I assist you?"

"Bring out the portraits of the missing spirit hunters in your county so I can see them."

"There are no portraits of them here, but we can ask the painter in the torture chamber to draw them."

Magistrate Ma immediately sent someone to the torture chamber to call over two painters.

Before long, the portraits of the four local spirit hunters were drawn on paper.

These two people are also good at detailed painting. I can't say how realistic their paintings are, but at least they have similar shapes.

Li Lin imprinted the faces of these four people in his mind, then clasped his fists and said, "Ma County Magistrate, we will go and do our work first."

"Very good, very good," Magistrate Ma said seriously. "There are only four spirit hunters left in this county. Patrol Officer Li, please take the trouble to find them. Without them, there won't be a single spirit hunter left in this county."

Li Lin nodded slightly.

The three of them arrived at the city gate, and Li Lin took out a stack of paper people and threw them on the ground.

Soon these little paper people turned from white to pink, then they jumped and ran outside, and soon disappeared into the wilderness.

"Brother Lin, how do you know that those three people disappeared outside the city?" Zhao Xiaohu asked.

Li Lin smiled and said, "That's just my feeling. County Magistrate Ma and his men should have searched the city, so it's very likely that he disappeared outside the city."

Zhao Xiaohu suddenly realized.

Bai Bufan looked around and asked, "Li Xunshou, what do you need me to do?"

"Not for now, wait."

Bai Bufan went aside and chatted with Zhao Xiaohu about trivial matters.

Li Lin waited patiently.

About two incense sticks later, Li Lin said, "I found one."

Li Lin immediately rushed in one direction, and the two people behind him followed immediately.

After running for about half an incense stick of time, Li Lin saw several small paper figures surrounding a corpse, spinning in circles and dancing a strange dance, as if they were performing a sacrifice.

When Li Lin approached, these little paper figures immediately ran away to look for another target.

When Li Lin saw the man, he was stunned.

Because the man was obviously dead, his face was pale!

Li Lin was very surprised. He used the paper man to find the way based on the premise that these four people might still be alive.

But now a dead body was found.

It’s strange, why hasn’t this man’s body been eaten by Huang Gui after several days?

Could it be that this person died this morning?

Li Lin is not very good at autopsies.

Bai Bufan came closer and looked at him for a while. His expression turned strange. "Li Xunshou, this man should have died in the early morning, no more than two hours ago. And his wounds..."

Li Lin looked at the dead man's wounds and found that they were several short wounds caused by sharp weapons.

He didn't expect that Bai Bufan also had the ability of a coroner.

Bai Bufan was silent for a long time before he said, "It seems to be my uncle's Shuang Jiao Li Shui sword technique."

These words really surprised Li Lin.

Bai Zhiwei and the others came to Beiliu County?
What does their coming here have to do with the disappearance of the spirit hunters in Beiliu County?

Zhao Xiaohu walked over and asked, "Brother Lin, what should we do with this man's body? Do we need to go back and notify them?"

"Go back and notify them to come and collect the bodies. Bufan and I will be waiting for you here."

Zhao Xiaohu nodded and ran away immediately.

Li Linze found a stone to sit on.

Bai Bufan also fell silent. His uncle had killed a spirit hunter from Beiliu County... This matter could be a big deal or a small one, and he didn't know which one it would be.

After a while, Zhao Xiaohu came over with several yamen runners.

When they saw the dead body, their expressions became very ugly.

One of the men, who looked like a captain of the police, glared at Li Lin. "What's going on? Why is he dead?" "That's what you should investigate." Li Lin stared at him coldly. "Or do you think we killed him? If so, we'll return to Yulin County immediately. You can find the rest of the people on yourselves."

At this time, Zhao Xiaohu and Bai Bufan had already begun to be on guard.

Especially Zhao Xiaohu, he had already made the starting gesture with his spear.

Just wait for Li Lin's 'order' and he will charge forward.

The captain was stunned. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I spoke too much."

In fact, they didn't intend to blame Li Lin for this. They were just angry at seeing their "brother" die, so they just found someone to vent their anger on.

"I'll leave this person to you." Li Lin waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Then he took Zhao Xiaohu and Bai Bufan away.

The captain looked at their backs, slapped himself hard, and then shouted, "Come on, carry Lu Xunshou back."

After walking for a while, they saw the second body.

One of the dead had his eyes wide open, with a black hole in his throat.

The paper people jumped around and somersaulted on the corpse, and when Li Lin got close, they ran away again.

Bai Bufan couldn't help but say, "Li Xunshou, your paper figurine is a bit... jumpy."

"Well, the paper-making technique I learned from the Taoist priest is somewhat different from that in the Central Plains."

Li Lin could only put the blame on the Taoist priests and let them take the blame.

It can't be said that these little paper figures are actually the embodiment of his inner character.

How embarrassing!
Bai Bufan looked at Li Lin suspiciously, then went to examine the body and said, "He was stabbed to death with a long sword. The attack was very brutal. After stabbing the throat, the sword was twisted several times, causing such a wound."

That's really cruel.

"My uncle and Su Xunshu don't know swordsmanship." Bai Bufan took a breath and then said, "But Ding Xunshu does use a sword. The Ding family's Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship is quite famous."

Li Lin nodded.

Zhao Xiaohu came over and said, "Do you want me to notify them again to come and collect the body?"

"No need. The people of Beiliu County are dishonest. Ignore them."

Zhao Xiaohu believed it and said "oh".

The corners of Bai Bufan's mouth curled up.

Li Lin suddenly felt something again and ran forward immediately.

Then when they reached a small wood, he suddenly stopped and gestured to the two of them to keep quiet.

The three of them then used trees and grass as cover and slowly moved forward.

Li Lin did not use the 'stealth technique', he simply lightened his footsteps.

Soon, the three of them entered the grove and heard cursing sounds coming from the front.

"Why are there so many of these disgusting paper figures?"

"I've killed several of them, and a bunch more are popping up."

"And he runs very fast. It's so annoying to go around in circles."

There were two spirit hunters inside, chasing a few small paper figures.

Although the paper figures were not moving very fast, the terrain here was very complex, and they were running around very slippery.

But after all, they were much stronger than the little paper figures. After spending some time, they finally beat all the little paper figures into pieces of paper.

The two men leaned against the tree trunk to catch their breath.

The thin-faced man said, "That woman surnamed Ding is really troublesome. She was poisoned, but she was not affected at all."

"And that guy named Su, when I find him, I'm going to skin him alive."

Li Lin's eyes flashed when they matched the last names.

Su Huafang and his group should have come here, but for some reason, they had a conflict with the local spirit hunters.

Li Lin looked at Bai Bufan and Zhao Xiaohu, and made a gesture of wiping his neck to them.

Bai Bufan's expression turned into a sinister grin.
