The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 370 Commander (41)

Shen Lian took Jiu Yao to the morgue inside the yamen without anyone noticing.

There was not only one corpse in the room, several corpses were placed together.

Fortunately, it was daytime and the light was very sufficient, which made Jiu Yao less afraid. There was a rotting smell in the room, which showed that some of the corpses might not be from the past two days.

Shen Lian gently lifted off the white cloth covering the corpses.

Without exception, these corpses were all men, and their appearance was almost the same, with dark black around their eyes and black lips.

It looked more like he died of poisoning.

"Big brother, are they poisoned?" Jiu Yao asked.

"No." Shen Lian put his index finger and middle finger together, sticking to the corpse of the drunkard who followed them yesterday, frowning slightly.

"Nine demons, I feel the magic energy."

"Big brother, is your consciousness saying that these are still made by demons?"

"En." Shen Lian nodded.

"Big brother, didn't there were executors in the three realms before? Why didn't they care?" Jiu Yao suddenly remembered the people in black clothes he met when he was in the inn that day.

"We report it to the police, and they will know." Shen Lian covered the white cloth.

"Jiu Yao, let's go." Shen Lian was about to leave, "This is not our business, Jiu Yao, this time I came down to play with you."

"But, eldest brother," Jiu Yao shook his head, "I know eldest brother is doing it for me, but, eldest brother, now that we have met, if we turn a blind eye, Jiu Yao will not be able to play with peace of mind."

"You're really naughty, so meddlesome." Shen Lian couldn't help shaking her head when she saw Jiu Yao's small face saying very seriously.

"Big brother agreed?" Jiu Yao blinked and looked at Shen Lian expectantly.

"En." Shen Lian couldn't help but nodded amusedly, "Big brother will agree to whatever Jiu Yao wants to do."

"Thank you, big brother." Jiu Yao happily secretly kissed Shen Lian on the face.

"Big brother, Jiu Yao has always felt that the few things we encountered after we went down to earth are all connected."

After kissing, Jiu Yao tilted his head and began to think.

"Oh, tell me." Shen Lian watched Jiu Yao's thinking with interest, curious about what conclusion she would draw.

"Big brother, from the night we came to Yangzhou, Jiu Yao had a dream. A nightmare that wanted to suck my fear got into my dream, and Xiao Qi and I met in the Yuanyuan Temple. The love voodoo insects that specialize in sucking the lust of women, both of them are demons, and they both want to suck human emotions, so—”

"En?" Shen Lian felt that what Jiu Yao said made sense, but he didn't expect that Jiu Yao, who seemed to be ignorant on weekdays, would be so smart with a small head.

"That's why Jiu Yao thinks that these corpses were killed by demons because they showed certain emotions or thoughts?"

"Nine demons, it makes sense." Shen Lian nodded, and he looked down at the corpses, so why were they killed.

The closest corpse to Shen Lian was He Er who was drunk in Tianxiang Restaurant last night. When he came out with Jiu Yao in his arms, he followed him.

Then he threw him away in three or two steps. At that time, he didn't think deeply about why the drunk He Er followed him?
Moreover, the unreasonable officers and soldiers said that they found a jade pendant on He Er.

From the eyes of the mortal world, the jade pendant should be of good quality.

Xiao Er said that he had seen this jade pendant on him before.

So, what is the connection between them?
Shen Lian lowered her eyelids and thought for a while.

The reason why the demons kill people is to absorb human emotions, and the dead are all men, plus the look He Er looked at him last night, the white jade pendant.

Shen Lian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he understood what the devil was, "Nine Demons, it should be greed."

"En?" Jiu Yao looked at the big brother in confusion, how did the big brother come up with this idea?

"When He Er came out last night, he kept looking at me. At that time, I thought I was just an ordinary person, so I didn't pay much attention. I hugged you and left. But, thinking about it now, he probably thought I was a kid from a rich family. Going out, wanting to rob."

"Look at the Nine Demons, the dead are all strong men, all of whom were killed in the middle of the night. It can be seen from their clothes that they are not rich or noble. Maybe the devil took a fancy to this and awakened them. The greed in their bodies, when they want to attack, will suck their souls clean."

"Then big brother, do you know what kind of demon this is?" Jiu Yao asked.

"It's a bit like a greedy monster." Shen Lian approached He Er's corpse, sniffed it carefully, and discerned the subtle devilish energy.

"Brother, tell me, why do these demons suck lust for a while, and greed for a while, what are they trying to do?" Jiu Yao asked puzzled.

"It's strange," Shen Lian also frowned.

"Jiu Yao, maybe your intuition is right, these things are not so simple." Shen Lian said looking at the rows of corpses.

At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air came.

"Be careful." Shen Lian picked up Jiu Yao.

Several black shadows suddenly appeared in the morgue. They were wearing hats, black cloaks, and weapons on their waists.

"I didn't expect to meet Shenjun again." The man in the front took off his hat.

It turned out to be the executors that Jiu Yao met in the inn last time, and they also followed up to check.

"En." Shen Lian nodded, "Qiu Qing, what did you find?"

"not much."

The man named Qiu Qing looked about 24 to [-] years old, his facial features were extremely correct, and there was a chilling aura all over his body.

One can tell at a glance that he is the kind of person who travels through the Three Realms all year round to perform tasks, and often lives the kind of life that licks blood.

Behind him were two people, a man and a woman, both wearing bamboo hats, making it difficult to see their faces. All three of them were extremely heroic.

Like Shen Lian, they lifted the white cloths from several corpses.

Began to check carefully.

"Jiu Yao, envy?" Shen Lian saw the heart in Jiu Yao's eyes, so he touched Jiu Yao's finger and said to her.

"Yes, there are some." Jiu Yao felt that they looked very handsome in capes.

If she had known that there was such a handsome executor before, maybe she wouldn't have signed up at the Ministry of Defense, would she?
"Let me guess, are you regretting going to the Ministry of Defense?" Shen Lian stared into Jiu Yao's eyes with a smile.

"En?" Jiu Yao looked at Shen Lian's face and blinked. Is the big brother a roundworm in her stomach?Why did he know what she was thinking?
