From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 122 The Incident
Henry Zhang did not answer directly, and said: "Not necessarily, but don't contact him for the time being, and see what Captain Yang of the security team will say tomorrow."

Because Henry Zhang became suspicious of Li Xiu at the Piaoxiang Medical Shop, he had entrusted Captain Yang to investigate Li Xiu's deeds after he came to Qinglin Town before returning.

If there is no accident, the news should come tomorrow, and then we can judge whether Li Xiu is the person behind the scenes.

Early the next morning, Captain Yang ran to Liu’s house, with a happy expression on his face, and when he saw Henry Zhangyuan, he said, “Daozhang Zhang, thank you for your reminder.”

Henry Zhang realized that he should have found something, and asked, "Captain Yang, is there any clue?"

Captain Yang smiled and said: "Daozhang Zhang, you reminded me in time. After our investigation, we found out that this murder case started not long after Li Xiu came back, and he usually stays in the dark, and even the neighbors don't know what he is doing. This person is also surprised that he bought a lot of live animals every now and then to go back when he lives alone, he must have a problem. And I suspect that he is a man who often goes to the Piaoxiang clothing store, it must be to observe and start."

Captain Yang’s reasoning was full of loopholes, but for Henry Zhang, who knew a lot, he was taken aback. Isn’t buying live animals to raise ghost mantises? Now it seems that he is most likely the one.

At this moment, Captain Yang saw that Henry Zhang was silent, and thought he was worried, so he said confidently: "Don't worry, Daoist Zhang, I have already sent my brother there, and he can't escape."

"What did you send someone over?"

Henry Zhang was taken aback when he heard this. It would be okay if Li Xiu was not the person behind the scenes. If it was really the person sent out, he would be in danger, and it is very likely that Li Xiu would run away earlier.

Henry Zhang said with a serious face: "I'll go over to see first, if this Li Xiu is really the person behind the scenes, then the people who go there will be in danger."

Captain Yang was dumbfounded when he heard that, as if he had messed up something, he stammered, "What should I do?"

Henry Zhang ignored him, ran out of Liu’s house quickly, and went straight to Li Xiu’s house in the southwest direction. Time is the most critical now, and no one knows whether Captain Yang made him run away by frightening the snake.

Henry Zhang rushed over at the fastest speed, and when he arrived at Li Xiu’s house, the door had already been kicked open from the outside.Henry Zhang quickly went in, walked through the yard, and entered the main room, the scene in front of him was very scary.

In the main room, there were no lights, the windows were closed, and it was dark, only a little light came in after Henry Zhang opened the door.It was this light that allowed Henry Zhang to see clearly the scene in the house.

The corpses of seven members of the security team were hung on the beams and walls of the main room. They were covered in blood, their limbs and bodies were penetrated by transparent silk threads, and they were hung up. Their hands and feet were spread out, but their heads disappeared, leaving behind A bloody wound the size of a bowl, the uneven wound seems to have been bitten off by something.

"Sure enough, it's a step late."

Seeing this tragic situation, Henry Zhang didn’t know that all the members of the security team sent by Captain Yang might be lost here. The chewing sound of "Kaba Kaba" sounded, and before Henry Zhang put down the corpses, the sound of chewing was thought of in the hall, which made people feel creepy.

Henry Zhang looked up and saw that the roof of the obedient mantis was full of ghost-headed praying mantises the size of their heads, and some of them were still holding their heads.At this time, a few ghost-headed praying mantises also jumped out from behind the seven corpses, staring straight at Henry Zhang with their triangular eyes, and those praying mantises on the roof also crawled down the wall and surrounded Henry Zhang from all directions.

Henry Zhang was naturally not afraid, but these ghost-headed mantises were eating people in front of him, but they hit the bottom line. Henry Zhang summoned the flying winged ice silkworms and said directly: "Turn them into ice cubes."

Although the appearance of the Flying Iceworm has not changed much, its strength has improved a lot. This time it spits out ice, sweeping the entire hall, let alone dodging the ghost-headed mantis, before even making a sound, it was instantly frozen Turning into an ice sculpture, the ice sculptures of hundreds of ghost-headed mantises are crystal clear, which is also pretty.

However, Henry Zhang didn’t want to leave a whole corpse for these ghosts. The ghost stag beetle flew out and turned into a streamer, smashing the ghost mantis in this room to pieces, leaving only the bodies of seven security teams.

Henry Zhang took out the ink bone dagger, cut the silk thread hanging them with a light stroke, put them down, and placed them neatly in the main room.Henry Zhang is still searching for the traces of Li Xiu, but he can’t take them for a while, so he should wait for the security team to come and collect their bodies.

Henry Zhang walked through the main room and searched behind the house, thinking about whether to use locust swarms to turn the house upside down.I heard the faint voice of singing from the small attic at the end:

"Since I fought with the king in the east and west, I have suffered from wind and frost and toil year after year. I hate the innocent Qin for ruining the lives of the people, which only caused the people to suffer."

This female voice is melodious, mellow and moving, and she sings the sorrow and reluctance in the opera to the fullest. Coupled with the sound of the music, it is really like a good opera in Liyuan.

Henry Zhang walked into this small attic following the sound, and saw that in this brightly lit attic, there was a stage when entering the door, and there were no seats under the stage, only a huge brass censer was burning, and an indescribable fragrance came from here Floating from the incense burner, lingering in this small attic.

Li Xiu was the only one on the stage, wearing a green costume and heavy makeup, with a graceful figure and a sad expression, singing opera words, as if he was putting on a good show.

Henry Zhang looked to the corner, three young women in costumes, with dull eyes, playing and singing there, fiddled with the instrument to make music for Li Xiu, Henry Zhang saw at a glance that these three women were not popular.

Henry Zhang saw that instead of running away, Li Xiu was still putting on a good show here, and said coldly: "Humph, Farewell My Concubine is not bad at singing, but Concubine Yu is not as vicious as you."

Li Xiu sang this farewell concubine because he compared himself to the overlord who was trapped under the sea, and also compared himself to the concubine Yu who was reluctant to leave, Zhang Xuan didn't know.But since he didn't run away, he will save his life now.

Li Xiu’s singing was interrupted by Henry Zhang, he looked up at Henry Zhang, and smiled: “Oh, it’s finally here.”

Seeing his appearance, Henry Zhang asked, "Who the hell are you? You came to this Qinglin Town to do the evil deed of skinning and tearing apart the bones."

Li Xiu retracted his sleeves, straightened his hair, and said: "Who else am I, Li is naturally Li. But what I said in Qinglin Town is a bit wrong, it should be back to Qinglin Town .”

Henry Zhang's face changed slightly: "Are you the apprentice of Ghost Hand Wang Chi?"

Hearing this name, Li Xiu's face changed, his expression was a little weird, he was stunned for a while before he smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't expect you to have heard my master's name before."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something: "That's right, that old guy Huai Bailiu is my master's good friend, and he was the master he buried back then, you know it's not surprising."

Hearing what he said, Henry Zhang knew that this family was the second apprentice of Wang Chi, but although the profession of this old Yinmen was three points lower than others, it was still a legitimate business with strict rules, but he also accumulated virtue and did good deeds. Why is he doing this?

Henry Zhang asked: "You have such a teacher, why did you do such a thing?"

Unexpectedly, Henry Zhang asked this question, but he laughed even more wildly: "Hahaha, it is only because of this master that I can do such a thing. Look, is my craftsmanship very good? Is this body peeled off perfectly? Flawless?"

He pointed to the three beautiful women playing musical instruments, and said to himself: "The beauty of a beauty is ninety percent in the skin and one percent in the bone. These girls don't know how to take care of them. Why don't I help them keep it?" This beauty. Beauty is fleeting, but beauty will never die with me, isn’t that good?”

What a lunatic, Henry Zhang couldn't help cursing inwardly when he saw his crazy look, he didn't expect that he would skin and dismantle people for such a reason, and sew them into such human skin puppets.

At this moment, Li Xiu showed a weird smile, and he said, "By the way, I don't know how long it feels, does this incense smell good?"
