I have a Secret
Chapter 27 Guess who I am (1)
Huang Dan wants to see the old lady.
If he was really frightened, as a grandson, he should comfort him.
If not, then he has something to do.
Liu Chu called Huang Dan to stop, and said calmly, "Master Song, if I'm not mistaken, when Boss Zhang comes out of the west wing at night, you will be there."
He added, "At that time, Boss Zhang smelled of alcohol and was chatting and laughing with you. You must have had a good chat."
Yellow list, "..."
Liu Chu put Boss Zhang's head on the table, stepped back a few steps and bent over, pinching his chin to look.
Huang Dan reminded, "Boss Liu, the mucus from Boss Zhang's neck has stuck to your chin."
Liu Chu didn't care, "Boss Zhang's medicinal material shop has been taken care of by your family, and he even went to your home to get medicinal materials a few days ago."
"Before he died tonight, he had contact with you again. You have nothing to say?"
Huang Dan said, "No."
It was the first time for Liu Chu to meet such an uncooperative person, he didn't show any expression, "Master Song, do you know that your current situation is very bad?"
Huang Dan said, "I know."
Liu Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Now you can tell me, what did you talk about?"
Huang Dan turned his head, "Simao, am I a prisoner?"
Suddenly being called by name, Si Mao was a little stunned, "No, it's not."
Huang Dan said, "Then I can go back to sleep now?"
Si Mao continued to be confused, "It's okay..."
He left before the word "ba" came out.
"Master Song knows my name?" Simao hahahaha, "Boss, Master Song actually knows... Boss, are you okay?"
Liu Chu showed her white teeth, "Very good."
Si Mao shivered, "Boss, Boss, there are murders happening one after another, I'm afraid we will have to live in the town."
"The Song family has a lot of property, and the old lady's Wei Young is very tall. You can't mess with Young Master Song. If you mess with him, it will be very troublesome."
Liu Chu laughed, "Which eye of yours saw that I provoked him?"
Si Mao said, "Two."
He asked the brothers, "Have you seen it too?"
Several other people shook their heads, saying they didn't see it, they didn't see anything.
"..."
Simao immediately changed his words, "Boss, I made a mistake. Actually, I didn't see it either. Really, I swear."
Liu Chu patted his head, "For the chicken stealing case in Ping'an Village, you should leave tomorrow morning and make your way, and you can come back that day."
Si Mao wants to cry but has no tears.
On the other end, Huang Dan was in the old lady's wing, "Grandma."
Song Ying was chanting scriptures, with a string of lapis lazuli beads in her left hand, "Ah Wang, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Huang Dan said, "I can't sleep."
Song Jushi paused for a moment when he dialed the rosary, "What's wrong?"
Huang Dan walked over and sat next to the old lady, "Grandma, Boss Zhang died too badly."
Song Yingshi lowered his eyelids and continued to chant sutras.
Huang Dan turned his head to look, the old lady had changed her clothes before going out, she was wearing a black collar embroidered robe with golden dark patterns, her hair was combed back in a bun, and her silver strands had been carefully combed with hair oil by the hand of the servant girl. Smooth and neat, there is a jade-inlaid flower hairpin in the bun, and round jade ear clips are worn on the ears, which looks graceful and luxurious, yet dignified.
"Awang."
A voice sounded in his ear, and Huang Dan came back to his senses, "Grandma, did you call me?"
Song Ying sighed, "You can sleep here with grandma."
Huang Dan asked, "What about you, grandma?"
Song Ying said, "Grandma is going to chant scriptures tonight."
Huang Dan said, "Will you read it all night?"
Song Ying didn't answer anymore, but read the scriptures from his mouth.
After listening to Huang Dan for a while, he couldn't hear anything. He started to feel sleepy, and after one yawn, another yawn, tears came out.
correct!
Huang Dan suddenly remembered that there was a piece of information mentioned in the ancient book.
No matter how much blood the monster loses, it will not die, but it cannot shed tears. Every tear will reduce its cultivation base by 100 years.
For a demon, after a long period of practice, he can transform into a human form, blend into the human world, experience and enjoy everything about being human, and he will definitely not let himself cry.
So, can it be deduced that anyone who can shed tears can be ruled out?
Huang Dan fell into deep thought. It rained heavily tonight, and everyone stayed behind. Except for the dead boss Zhang, the rest were the original owner's grandmother, the old man from the private school, boss Dai from the restaurant, Ye Lan's father, and Liu Chu.
Who to start with first?
Looking at the yellow list from the corner of the eye, let's start with the original owner's grandma.
He asked in his heart, "Mr. System, is there anything to stimulate the lacrimal gland?"
System, "Wait a moment."
Not long after, the system's voice sounded again, "Mr. Huang, I'll check it out for you, and there is a product that meets your requirements."
Huang Dan said, "What's your name?"
System, "Cry like a dead dog."
Huang Dan said, "It's a good name, just let it be."
Soon, a colorless and odorless gas dispersed in the air.
When Song Ying heard the crying, she raised her eyes and said in surprise, "Ah Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Dan's tears couldn't stop flowing down, "I'm fine."
Song Ying frowned, "You child, you are crying like this, how can you be all right?"
She put down the rosary, wiped away her grandson's tears with a handkerchief, "Tell grandma, are you scared?"
Huang Dan found that the old lady's eyes were all dry and she didn't have any tears. His heart skipped a beat and he moved his butt to the side.
"Mr. System, the old lady is a demon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the task screen appeared. Like the first world, there was also an extra column below the task content. As long as he filled in the identity of the demon, the task would be completed.
The system said, "Mr. Huang, due to the difficulty of this mission, you have two chances. Once you fill it in, you cannot change it. If it is not the real answer, you have one last chance. If you fill in the wrong answer again, the mission will fail."
Huang Dan hesitated again.
What if someone has underdeveloped lacrimal glands, or is born unable to cry?
He can't be so hasty.
Since Mr. System said that there are two chances this time, it means there is another mystery behind it.
Song Ying patted his grandson on the back, "Okay, Ah Wang, you've grown up, a man, what do you look like crying."
Huang Dan hurriedly asked Mr. System to remove all the surrounding gas for him. He killed 0 enemies, and he was already dead.
Seeing that her grandson stopped crying, Song Ying shook her head, her tone was reproachful, but her eyes were loving, "It's not grandma talking about you, what are you going to do in such a scene? It scares me."
Huang Dan gasped, observed the old lady secretly, and distanced himself, "I met Boss Zhang once, he died, I should go and see."
Song Ying said, "Everyone is dead, so I don't know if you have gone or not."
Huang Dan was about to speak when there were footsteps outside the door. He stopped wiping his tears and opened the door to see that it was old man Zhao.
Covering the door with his backhand, Huang Dan said, "Teacher."
Old man Zhao was startled, "Why are you crying like this?"
Huang Dan said, "I just feel that life is impermanent and life is fragile."
Old man Zhao, "..."
Huang Dan asked, "Teacher, what do you do?"
"It's nothing, just walking around." Zhao old man coughed, "Um... is your grandma asleep?"
"Grandma is chanting scriptures." Huang Dan said, "Master, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Old man Zhao waved his hand, "There's nothing to see, so I won't go in."
After he finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Huang Dan sniffed, the two old men were about the same age, and they probably had some contacts when they were young.
After a small test of tears, just in case, Huang Dan didn't go to the old lady's room again, fearing that he would lose his skin when he dozed off.
It's always good to have an open mind.
In less than half an incense stick, Liu Chu led people to search.
The flesh and blood on Boss Zhang's body is gone. As long as the murderer is still in the restaurant, those things should be there, but they searched the restaurant inside and out. They even went down to look at the well in the backyard, and even the alleys around the restaurant. , or nothing was found.
The flesh and skin of an adult man is really cut off, and it can fit a large bucket, as well as the blood, internal organs, together, it is not so easy to hide, not to mention that Boss Zhang is still a fat man, and a lot of things seem to have disappeared out of thin air .
It rained heavily all night, and the oppressive atmosphere in the restaurant continued until dawn.
Huang Dan didn't close his eyes very much, he pushed open the window and looked down, the fresh air that rushed up to his face was wrapped in a touch of humidity.
There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and there was a tall figure in the crowd. The black official uniform couldn't suppress the wildness between his eyebrows. A little girl looked sideways, and he smiled, and the little girl blushed.
Liu Chu worked all night, bought soup dumplings from Siqinglou, and ate them while walking. When he got to the bottom of the restaurant, he suddenly raised his head and looked upstairs.
The yellow sheet upstairs met the man face to face, without closing the window, and looked at him calmly.
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows and turned a blind eye.
Huang Dan was hungry, he went downstairs, but was stopped by Si Mao, "Master Song, I'm sorry, the boss said that no one is allowed to leave until the truth of the case is revealed."
Glancing at the young man, he didn't know if he was angry, but Simao said, "If not, if you have any orders, just mention them, and Si Mao will definitely take care of them for you."
Huang Dan pointed at the man eating soup dumplings at the door, "He was upstairs with us last night. If we are suspected, he is too. Since he can go out, why can't I?"
Si Mao choked.
The skinny boy next to him pulled Simao, and whispered in his ear, "Mao, what this Young Master Song said is true, the boss was also upstairs last night."
Si Mao patted him on the head, "Dare to doubt the boss, you are tired of work!"
The skinny boy gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Who dares to doubt the boss, I mean, the boss was not with us at the time, and we didn't know him... Oh, I really didn't mean that, forget it, I Stop talking."
Si Mao wanted to leave for Ping'an Village, but he absolutely didn't want to go, "Brother, please speak up, the case of stealing chickens will surely fall into your hands."
"..."
The skinny boy said, "Don't I feel panicked."
His voice was extremely low, "It's good to know that there is a murderer, if you are afraid, you are afraid, there is no murderer, you understand what I mean?"
Si Mao shook his head, "I don't understand."
The skinny boy also shook his head, "You have a big head, so you don't have to worry about it raining, it's full of water."
Si Mao gave him a supercilious look.
Anyway, the murderer is among those few. If paper can't cover fire, there is no airtight wall. With the boss around, it will be a matter of time before the other party is exposed.
He turned his head, and there was no one there, "Where is Young Master Song?"
The skinny boy said, "I don't know."
Simao was annoyed, "Go away, it's all your fault, why don't you talk to me about it if you have nothing to do."
He ran out the door, stopped again, and swished to hide behind a sign.
Huang Dan said to the man in front of him, "Catcher Liu, please step aside."
Liu Chu swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, "Master Song, my subordinates should have told you, and please cooperate with our investigation."
Huang Dan said, "I want to eat."
Liu Chu gave him the paper bag in his hand, "There are two more, take them."
Huang Dan took it, shook the paper bag, smelled the aroma, ate it while it was hot, two mouthfuls, ate the buns, and left.
Liu Chu's face darkened, "You have eaten all the buns, what else do you want to do?"
Huang Dan said, "Not enough to eat."
Liu Chu, "..."
He looked up and down, with such a small body, he could handle it with one hand, "Two are not enough?"
Huang Dan said, "Not enough."
Liu Chu snorted coldly, "Then be hungry."
He grabbed the young man with one hand, dragged him into the restaurant, and told his subordinates, "Go and buy four big buns for Young Master Song, stuffed with meat."
Huang Dan said, "I don't want steamed stuffed buns from Siqinglou. There's a little too much ginger and a little less soup. I want the ones from Mrs. Wang's house in West Street. I need two meat fillings, two Chinese cabbage, and two pieces of Chennai on South Street." For the deep-fried dough sticks from the old master’s house, I want another bowl of soybean juice.”
Liu Chu twitched, "There are so many problems."
A voice appeared next to him, "Yeah, I'm almost catching up with the boss."
Liu Chu glanced coldly, "Why are you still here?"
Simao smiled hippiely, "Boss, I think so. Look, the owner of this piece is a squire in the town. Once the news of his accident is released, the big guy will definitely mess up. Maybe his medicinal material shop will also be messed up." Unsteady, at this moment, Boss, you are short of manpower and need me."
Liu Chu said, "No need."
Si Mao hehe, "If you need it, I'll go buy some breakfast for Young Master Song."
He ran away after speaking, for fear that the job would be taken away by others, and he would lose a great opportunity to perform.
Huang Dan was full, sitting in the lobby with nothing to do, so he went to see the man circling the teacup, "Captain Liu, I have been abroad for many years, and I have never heard of a similar case, whether it is the dead salesman, Widow Li, It’s still Boss Zhang, I personally think that no one can do it.”
Liu Chu threw the teacup aside, raised his eyelids, and said with great interest, "Humans can't do it, so what can it do?"
Huang Dan looked into the man's eyes, "This is also where I am puzzled."
Liu Chu turned over a teacup, picked up the teapot and poured tea, "Master Song, based on your words, I can lock you up on the grounds of intentionally creating rumors, attempting to interfere with public order, and inducing people's hearts."
Yellow list, "..."
Liu Chu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and sipped it twice, then poured the tea on the ground, "Yueshan's scented tea is not as good as it used to be."
There is disgust between the lines.
Huang Dan wanted to use the product "cry like a dead dog" on this man once to see if he would cry, but Mr. System told him that he had a sense of crisis because he didn't have many points left.
Even though I was already saving some, it was almost used up.
Then change the method, Huang Dan pondered, he got up, pretended not to stand still, and fell into the man's arms.
Unexpectedly pushed away vigorously, Huang Dan managed to hit his elbow on the bridge of the man's nose just before he fell down.
Liu Chu's pained voice sounded, and he quickly covered the bridge of his nose and went to the backyard, only coming out after a while.
Huang Dan's eyes were even redder. He fell hard just now and knocked his knee. He sat on the ground in pain for a long time before recovering. When he saw the man coming out, he stared at him.
Both of the man's eyes were a little red, and the corners of the eyes were wet and glistening.
Huang Dan said, "You will cry."
Liu Chu's face was gloomy and cold, "What else?"
Huang Dan said, "Sorry."
Liu Chu's nose seemed to be bleeding a lot, and there were still blood stains around it, "Master Song, please stay away from me."
Huang Dan said, "Okay."
He pulled up a chair and sat across from the man.
"..."
Liu Chu's forehead was bulging with blue veins, did the young master drink too much foreign ink and ruined his brain?
Huang Dan caught a tear slowly falling from the corner of the man's eye, and his eyes followed it all the way. When the tear was about to drip down the man's sharp face, he subconsciously reached out to catch it, and his wrist was caught in mid-air up.
Liu Chu teased, "Master Song, what do you want to do? Where are you touching me?"
Huang Dan sucked in pain, "Let go."
Liu Chu pinched the young man's slender hand, and said, "I really can't stay here abroad. Young Master Song can't understand people's language after going there."
Huang Dan frowned, "Liu Butou, let go of your hands."
"Why, weren't you quite capable just now?"
Liu Chu sneered, "I'll tell you to stay away from me, you think I'm farting, Young Master Song, you're skinny and tender, like a woman, but you're not, I'm the one who only plays with women, as for Man, I'm not that interested."
The corners of his lips curled into a malicious arc, and there was no smile in his eyes, "So if you feel bored and want to play, you can find someone else and do this with me again, but there is no good fruit to eat, understand Yet?"
Huang Dan cried, and said hoarsely, "You hurt me."
Liu Chu was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly took his hands away, stood up from the chair, looked down at the young man, and mocked, "Like a bitch."
Huang Dan raised his head abruptly, some emotion appeared in his eyes, he was exploring something, then sank down again, he lowered his head, tears pooled on the tip of his nose, falling drop by drop.
The young man didn't cry at the top of his voice, but it was very painful, which was written on his face.
Liu Chu tilted his head and roared, "Simao!"
Si Mao stared and ran downstairs, seeing the situation in front of him, he stammered, "Boss, boss, what, what, what's the matter?"
Liu Chu forgot what he wanted to say, "It's nothing."
Si Mao, "..."
He glanced at the young man, crying so pitifully, he looked in pain, "Boss, Young Master Song is crying."
Liu Chu squinted, "If you don't leave, I'll let you cry with him."
Si Mao left immediately.
Liu Chu walked around with a knife, round and round, he went upstairs and questioned each wing.
Huang Dan sat on the chair, waited for the pain to reach its peak, and then gradually faded away. There was no other way but this.
He looked at his wrist, there was a patch of red, the strength of a martial arts practitioner is really unpleasant.
Get rid of Liu Chu first.
Huang Dan thought of something, and the corners of his eyes twitched. The old man Zhao knew about the ancient book, and it seemed that the old lady knew about it, as well as the scholar.
Yao must have heard about it, and it is very likely that in order to get rid of the suspicion, she wants to continue playing with the crowd, and shed tears on purpose.
Huang Dan sighed in his heart, unable to move forward again.
The boundary between true and false is not blurred, it is simply invisible.
A homicide happened in the restaurant, Boss Dai was awake, but in a trance, not in the mood to do business, so he sent someone to hang a sign outside the door, saying that the restaurant was closed for three days, and even the waiters were sent away.
When the people in the town saw the policemen going in and out of the restaurant, they all began to guess, maybe someone died again?But don't be.
They gathered at the restaurant and wanted to ask about the situation.
Liu Chu asked Si Mao and the others to deal with it outside the door, and anyone who dared to make trouble at a critical point would be locked up.
There was a lot of restlessness outside the restaurant, and there was no rest inside.
Old man Zhang yelled, saying that he had class in the morning and had to go out, so did Father Ye, his eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't slept all night, his face was haggard, and he hadn't recovered from the scene of Boss Zhang's death.
Song Ying leaned on crutches, "Liu Butou, we all live in the town. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime."
Her complexion was not very good, "Even if the county lord comes, he can't lock us here casually."
Liu Chu sat down on the chair. He put the knife on the table and crossed his long legs. The meaning was clear. Anyone who dared to leave should ask him about the knife first.
Father Ye stared over, "Liu Chu, you are just a small headhunter, don't make trouble for yourself!"
"Master Ye misunderstood."
Liu Chu took a glance, and smiled, "You all know about the bizarre death of Boss Zhang last night, and some of you have seen it. Based on my years of investigation experience, I feel that the murderer's modus operandi is too cruel. Even Animals are worse."
He leaned back a little, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "For everyone's safety and for the peace of the town, we should work together to catch the murderer as soon as possible, what do you think?"
Huang Dan secretly observed the changes in the expressions of several people. Ye Lan's father's mood was very unstable. It seemed that he was afraid and restless. The head of the Song family holds power for half his life, and no one dares to disobey her orders. It is normal to feel unhappy being suppressed by a junior at this moment.
As for old man Zhang, he was muttering about bad luck, bad luck, he might as well have slept at home last night, and he missed Boss Dai, who didn't come down and was lying in his room.
Liu Chu knocked on the table with his fingers a few times, stopped, and then started to knock again. He said casually, "Wait for my friend to come over and find out the cause of Boss Zhang's death, and everyone can leave."
Father Ye took a deep breath. At this age, he would not be impulsive and reckless, not knowing right from wrong, "When will your friend come?"
Liu Chu looked at his pocket watch, "It's coming soon."
Not long after, a man in a gray gown and top hat walked into the restaurant. He was an inspector, surnamed Feng.
Liu Chu put his legs down, "Old Feng, good morning."
Lao Feng took off his top hat, greeted the members of the Song Ying family in the hall, and then went to see Liu Chu, "Where is it?"
Liu Chu stretched, "Upstairs, let's go, I'll take you there."
He turned around and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, everyone."
Huang Dan watched the man go upstairs. The man next to him was quite famous and capable. He didn't just talk nonsense. He probably knew it wasn't someone who did it this time.
Boss Zhang's head and skeleton are still in his own wing, and as soon as the door is opened, the fishy smell inside rushes out.
Old Feng covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked in front of Boss Zhang's head and skeleton.
His family has been doing this job for generations. When he came to him, the salary was better and he was more respectable. He even changed his name. He was called an inspector instead of a coroner.
Times are progressing.
After Lao Feng checked, he remained silent.
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows, "Old Feng, you haven't said a word for a long time, what are you thinking?"
Old Feng took off the veil, "Xiao Liu, I suggest you interrogate those people as soon as possible to see who has problems."
Liu Chu said, "I asked about it last night."
Old Feng folded up the handkerchief, stuffed it in his sleeve, and went back to wash it before using it again, "Ask again."
Liu Chu asked with eyes.
Old Feng pointed to the skeleton, "Look here, there are obvious signs of being eaten on the skeleton of the deceased. It is not left by any animal, nor is it a human being."
Liu Chu had a strange expression, "What is that?"
Old Feng shook his head, "I don't know."
"A long time ago, I heard my grandfather and my father talk, saying that there are some incomprehensible things in the world, and there are unreasonable things."
Liu Chu said for a while, "You mean, demon?"
With a meaningful expression on Lao Feng's face, he patted him on the shoulder, "You and I are both investigators, and it's hard to convince the public if this kind of thing is thrown out, so let's find out first."
Liu Chu looked at Boss Zhang's skeleton, and his face changed slightly.
Old Feng saw it, "Why?"
Liu Chu pointed to several parts of the skeleton, and said with a strange expression, "When I just found out last night, there was a little piece of meat sticking to it, but it's gone now."
"From last night until you came, no outsider has entered the restaurant."
"It seems that there is a big thing doing something wrong, it's still here, and it didn't run away." Old Feng put on his top hat, "You're going to live in Yueshan Town for a while."
He remembered something, "By the way, I just saw the young master of the Song family downstairs. He came back from overseas, and his thinking logic is different from ours. You can ask him to help, and it may have some impact on the case." benefit."
Liu Chu said disdainfully, "Forget it, I don't get along with him."
Old Feng turned to look at him, "You are not a husband and wife, what do you want to get together?"
Liu Chu, "..."
He was not affected, and returned to the main topic, "Old Feng, where is Boss Zhang's head? Have you seen the name?"
"If I say so, I'm afraid you'll think I'm joking."
Old Feng said, "The deceased's head was bitten off with one bite. Listen to what I said clearly. It was one bite, not a few bites, dozens of bites."
Liu Chu took a breath, "One mouthful? How big is that mouth?"
"It's okay if the mouth is too big. At most, the proportion of the facial features is not coordinated. Those teeth are sharper than knives, so it's scary." Old Feng straightened his hat, "I'll go first."
Liu Chu sent Lao Feng away, and asked Simao to take Father Ye upstairs.
Father Ye was outside Boss Zhang's wing, "Boss Liu, your friend has already checked, can we go back?"
Liu Chu leaned against the door, "No rush."
Before Father Ye opened his mouth, he said, "Master Ye, when you came to look for Boss Zhang, did you see anyone?"
Father Ye had obvious repulsion, "Didn't I tell you last night? Why do you still ask?"
Liu Chu said, "Master Ye, as I said before, to solve the case as soon as possible is good to you, me, and everyone."
"No, no one, just myself."
Father Ye calmed down a little. He tried to recall what happened last night, "It was raining heavily outside, and I was not in the mood to sleep. I walked around the room for a while, and then went out to find Boss Zhang next door."
"I knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. I thought Boss Zhang had fallen asleep, so I was about to go back to my room, but I found the door was closed, so I opened it and went in."
Speaking of this, Father Ye's breathing became disordered, his whole body trembled, and so did his voice, "I won't talk about the rest."
Liu Chu saw the panic of the middle-aged man, and his eyes were full of scrutiny, "Mr. Ye, you live next door to Boss Zhang. Just now you said that you didn't sleep last night. You paced around the room without any movement. hear?"
Father Ye shook his head, "If I heard it, I would definitely come out and read it."
He swallowed, as if disgusted by the scene at that time, and also frightened, "Maybe Boss Zhang won't be killed."
Liu Chu patted the hem of his clothes a few times, "No one went out or came in the restaurant last night. Mr. Ye, you have spent more time in contact with the others than I do, and you must know them better than me."
"Why don't you tell me about them."
Father Ye said stiffly, "Captain Liu, it's your job to investigate the case. I'm just a banker and I don't know anything."
Liu Chu stared at it for a few seconds, then shouted downstairs, "Si Mao, take Mr. Ye back."
Father Ye said, "No need."
Liu Chu asked old man Zhang in the same way.
Old man Zhang has been teaching in the Song family's private school for these years, and it is impossible to deal with those brats without any means. His mouth is so nagging that even Liu Chu can't stand it.
Moreover, the nagging is all about irrelevant truths, and it is difficult to interject a sentence.
Liu Chu wiped the drool off his face and went to Boss Dai.
Boss Dai was resting in bed, and she was wearing the imported black nightgown, which was lined with white everywhere, which was very charming. She propped her head on one hand, "Liu Baotou, I will feel embarrassed if you stare at me like that." .”
Liu Chupi smiled, "I didn't see it."
Boss Dai winked, "That's because you're standing too far away, so come over here so you can take a closer look."
Liu Chu walked to the bed, bent his back, put the scabbard in his hand against the woman's chin, and lifted it up a little, "Boss Zhang came to you a lot before he was alive. No more, Boss Dai, your bone smells delicious, it will kill you."
Boss Dai's face immediately changed, "Boss Liu, Ming people don't speak dark words."
"Yes, I have an affair with Boss Zhang, but I only have physical needs with him, and there is no conflict. Besides, if I want to be unfavorable to Boss Zhang, I will choose a place that no one knows, not in my place. on their own territory."
Her fair chest heaved up and down, "Boss Zhang's death in the restaurant has had the greatest impact on me personally!"
"makes sense."
Liu Chu retracted the scabbard, pulled out the knife, and put it back again, "Yesterday afternoon, someone saw Boss Zhang coming to the restaurant. He came really early."
"I made an appointment with him, and we made out for a while." Boss Dai cut his hair and smiled coquettishly, "Why, Catcher Liu wants to hear the process?"
Liu Chu also smiled, with a deep and clear outline, "Yes."
Boss Dai's smile froze and then recovered, "He has no companion, and neither do I. We won't break the law together."
Liu Chu said in a low voice, "So, you really love each other."
Boss Dai said, "It's just a matter of flesh and blood."
Liu Chu smacked his lips, "Boss Dai is really ruthless."
Boss Dai said ambiguously, "It depends on who it is. If it's Catcher Liu, my heart is yours."
Liu Chu said, "Boss Zhang's head and skeleton are still in the room. I heard that wherever a person dies, there is a ghost floating there. Maybe he is on your bed."
Boss Dai's face turned pale immediately, and her hands began to tremble violently. She slowly twisted her neck to look behind her.
Liu Chu drew her thin lips to both sides, "Just kidding, don't get excited."
Boss Dai patted his chest, still in shock, "You scared me to death."
She said with lingering fear, "No, I can't live in the restaurant anymore, I want to go home."
"As long as you don't leave this town, Boss Dai can go wherever he wants." Liu Chu said, "Okay, you can rest."
Not long after, Boss Dai called Liu Chu, "I saw the old lady in the corridor last night."
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows, "I asked you twice, why didn't you mention it?"
Boss Dai lamented, "A girl from a good family can be quite frightened when she sees a dead chicken, let alone..."
She didn't go on, she put her hands on her heart, with a distressed expression on her face, "My heart is still in a mess, how can I sort it out."
Liu Chu asked, "When did it happen?"
Boss Dai said, "Probably we broke up, and after we went back to our rooms, it took about an incense stick."
"At that time when I got up at night, I heard a noise outside the door, so I opened the door a crack and saw the old lady walking in the corridor."
Liu Chu asked, "When you saw the old lady, did you talk to her?"
"That's not true." Boss Dai said, "The old lady is a very serious and dignified person. I have heard a lot about her early deeds. I was afraid of dealing with people like her, so I didn't go up."
"Besides, it's so late, I'm not wearing a coat, it's not suitable."
Liu Chu went outside.
Boss Dai shouted at his figure, "Hey, Catcher Liu, you must find out the murderer!"
Liu Chu appeared in front of Song Yingshi, "Madam, we separated last night, and you stayed in the room until Boss Zhang's incident happened?"
Song Ying said, "Yes."
Liu Chu took good notes. Between the old lady and the woman, someone was lying.
When he came out, he almost bumped into the young man.
Huang Dan said, "Liu Butou, I can go home with my grandma."
Liu Chu didn't look at him, "Please go ahead."
Huang Dan said, "That..."
The man is gone.
Huang Dan didn't catch up, he wanted to find out the results of the investigation here from the other party's mouth, but found that he couldn't start.
Liu Chu specifically explained that Boss Zhang's death should not be revealed to the outside world. It is only a while to hide it for a while, and it will not be too late to make an announcement after the investigation of the case is clear.
Unexpectedly, on the same day, everyone in the town knew that Boss Zhang, the owner of the medicine store, had died, and rumors about what happened to him when he died were spreading.
People are in panic, and the streets and alleys are filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness.
First there was the salesman with only bones left, then Widow Li with a few pieces of skin left, and now Boss Zhang with only his head and skeleton left. They died one after another.
The teahouse was full of seats, and there were many people standing there, asking for news, hoping to hear something.
Monsters, beasts, demons, devils, you name it.
Huang Dan knew that it must be the rumor from the monster, and that this was the opponent's goal. The more chaos the better, it is best to kill each other.
He stayed in the mansion, flipping through the ancient books over and over again.
Juan'er put a bowl of rock sugar pears on the table, and opened a few windows to let the sun and wind that could not wait outside come in together.
Huang Dan sat at the table, took a spoon to dig a piece of pear and ate it, "Juan'er, is there someone in the house?"
Juan'er kept on ahhh, and even stroked her beard with her hands.
Huang Dan said, "Mr. Zhang?"
Juaner nodded.
Huang Dan drank a big sip of Sydney water, then hurried to the old lady's place.
The offspring of the Song family worried about their children's safety, so they were not allowed to go to the private school for the time being. The old man Zhao had nothing to do and was in a hurry, so he wandered around the town and then transferred to the Song residence.
"You've been reading scriptures for decades, haven't you read enough?"
Song Ying plucked the beads, "I recite mine, it has nothing to do with you."
Old man Zhao blew his beard and stared.
Song Ying said, "Why did you come to see me?"
Old man Zhao put his hands behind his back, "I'm here to find Song Wang."
"Ah Wang is in Xiyuan, and here is Nanyuan." Song Ying didn't show a good face, "I can't tolerate messy things in this meditation room, you should get out quickly."
Old man Zhao walked around in front of her eyes, "What a mess? Aren't you swearing?"
When Huang Dan came over, he saw such a scene, "Grandma, teacher, why are you arguing?"
Old man Zhao snorted, "Whoever is arguing with her, I'm not full."
Yellow list, "..."
He is doing business, he will be a peacemaker first, and after talking about what is available, he will enter the topic, "Teacher, foreigner
If he was really frightened, as a grandson, he should comfort him.
If not, then he has something to do.
Liu Chu called Huang Dan to stop, and said calmly, "Master Song, if I'm not mistaken, when Boss Zhang comes out of the west wing at night, you will be there."
He added, "At that time, Boss Zhang smelled of alcohol and was chatting and laughing with you. You must have had a good chat."
Yellow list, "..."
Liu Chu put Boss Zhang's head on the table, stepped back a few steps and bent over, pinching his chin to look.
Huang Dan reminded, "Boss Liu, the mucus from Boss Zhang's neck has stuck to your chin."
Liu Chu didn't care, "Boss Zhang's medicinal material shop has been taken care of by your family, and he even went to your home to get medicinal materials a few days ago."
"Before he died tonight, he had contact with you again. You have nothing to say?"
Huang Dan said, "No."
It was the first time for Liu Chu to meet such an uncooperative person, he didn't show any expression, "Master Song, do you know that your current situation is very bad?"
Huang Dan said, "I know."
Liu Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Now you can tell me, what did you talk about?"
Huang Dan turned his head, "Simao, am I a prisoner?"
Suddenly being called by name, Si Mao was a little stunned, "No, it's not."
Huang Dan said, "Then I can go back to sleep now?"
Si Mao continued to be confused, "It's okay..."
He left before the word "ba" came out.
"Master Song knows my name?" Simao hahahaha, "Boss, Master Song actually knows... Boss, are you okay?"
Liu Chu showed her white teeth, "Very good."
Si Mao shivered, "Boss, Boss, there are murders happening one after another, I'm afraid we will have to live in the town."
"The Song family has a lot of property, and the old lady's Wei Young is very tall. You can't mess with Young Master Song. If you mess with him, it will be very troublesome."
Liu Chu laughed, "Which eye of yours saw that I provoked him?"
Si Mao said, "Two."
He asked the brothers, "Have you seen it too?"
Several other people shook their heads, saying they didn't see it, they didn't see anything.
"..."
Simao immediately changed his words, "Boss, I made a mistake. Actually, I didn't see it either. Really, I swear."
Liu Chu patted his head, "For the chicken stealing case in Ping'an Village, you should leave tomorrow morning and make your way, and you can come back that day."
Si Mao wants to cry but has no tears.
On the other end, Huang Dan was in the old lady's wing, "Grandma."
Song Ying was chanting scriptures, with a string of lapis lazuli beads in her left hand, "Ah Wang, it's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Huang Dan said, "I can't sleep."
Song Jushi paused for a moment when he dialed the rosary, "What's wrong?"
Huang Dan walked over and sat next to the old lady, "Grandma, Boss Zhang died too badly."
Song Yingshi lowered his eyelids and continued to chant sutras.
Huang Dan turned his head to look, the old lady had changed her clothes before going out, she was wearing a black collar embroidered robe with golden dark patterns, her hair was combed back in a bun, and her silver strands had been carefully combed with hair oil by the hand of the servant girl. Smooth and neat, there is a jade-inlaid flower hairpin in the bun, and round jade ear clips are worn on the ears, which looks graceful and luxurious, yet dignified.
"Awang."
A voice sounded in his ear, and Huang Dan came back to his senses, "Grandma, did you call me?"
Song Ying sighed, "You can sleep here with grandma."
Huang Dan asked, "What about you, grandma?"
Song Ying said, "Grandma is going to chant scriptures tonight."
Huang Dan said, "Will you read it all night?"
Song Ying didn't answer anymore, but read the scriptures from his mouth.
After listening to Huang Dan for a while, he couldn't hear anything. He started to feel sleepy, and after one yawn, another yawn, tears came out.
correct!
Huang Dan suddenly remembered that there was a piece of information mentioned in the ancient book.
No matter how much blood the monster loses, it will not die, but it cannot shed tears. Every tear will reduce its cultivation base by 100 years.
For a demon, after a long period of practice, he can transform into a human form, blend into the human world, experience and enjoy everything about being human, and he will definitely not let himself cry.
So, can it be deduced that anyone who can shed tears can be ruled out?
Huang Dan fell into deep thought. It rained heavily tonight, and everyone stayed behind. Except for the dead boss Zhang, the rest were the original owner's grandmother, the old man from the private school, boss Dai from the restaurant, Ye Lan's father, and Liu Chu.
Who to start with first?
Looking at the yellow list from the corner of the eye, let's start with the original owner's grandma.
He asked in his heart, "Mr. System, is there anything to stimulate the lacrimal gland?"
System, "Wait a moment."
Not long after, the system's voice sounded again, "Mr. Huang, I'll check it out for you, and there is a product that meets your requirements."
Huang Dan said, "What's your name?"
System, "Cry like a dead dog."
Huang Dan said, "It's a good name, just let it be."
Soon, a colorless and odorless gas dispersed in the air.
When Song Ying heard the crying, she raised her eyes and said in surprise, "Ah Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Dan's tears couldn't stop flowing down, "I'm fine."
Song Ying frowned, "You child, you are crying like this, how can you be all right?"
She put down the rosary, wiped away her grandson's tears with a handkerchief, "Tell grandma, are you scared?"
Huang Dan found that the old lady's eyes were all dry and she didn't have any tears. His heart skipped a beat and he moved his butt to the side.
"Mr. System, the old lady is a demon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the task screen appeared. Like the first world, there was also an extra column below the task content. As long as he filled in the identity of the demon, the task would be completed.
The system said, "Mr. Huang, due to the difficulty of this mission, you have two chances. Once you fill it in, you cannot change it. If it is not the real answer, you have one last chance. If you fill in the wrong answer again, the mission will fail."
Huang Dan hesitated again.
What if someone has underdeveloped lacrimal glands, or is born unable to cry?
He can't be so hasty.
Since Mr. System said that there are two chances this time, it means there is another mystery behind it.
Song Ying patted his grandson on the back, "Okay, Ah Wang, you've grown up, a man, what do you look like crying."
Huang Dan hurriedly asked Mr. System to remove all the surrounding gas for him. He killed 0 enemies, and he was already dead.
Seeing that her grandson stopped crying, Song Ying shook her head, her tone was reproachful, but her eyes were loving, "It's not grandma talking about you, what are you going to do in such a scene? It scares me."
Huang Dan gasped, observed the old lady secretly, and distanced himself, "I met Boss Zhang once, he died, I should go and see."
Song Ying said, "Everyone is dead, so I don't know if you have gone or not."
Huang Dan was about to speak when there were footsteps outside the door. He stopped wiping his tears and opened the door to see that it was old man Zhao.
Covering the door with his backhand, Huang Dan said, "Teacher."
Old man Zhao was startled, "Why are you crying like this?"
Huang Dan said, "I just feel that life is impermanent and life is fragile."
Old man Zhao, "..."
Huang Dan asked, "Teacher, what do you do?"
"It's nothing, just walking around." Zhao old man coughed, "Um... is your grandma asleep?"
"Grandma is chanting scriptures." Huang Dan said, "Master, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Old man Zhao waved his hand, "There's nothing to see, so I won't go in."
After he finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Huang Dan sniffed, the two old men were about the same age, and they probably had some contacts when they were young.
After a small test of tears, just in case, Huang Dan didn't go to the old lady's room again, fearing that he would lose his skin when he dozed off.
It's always good to have an open mind.
In less than half an incense stick, Liu Chu led people to search.
The flesh and blood on Boss Zhang's body is gone. As long as the murderer is still in the restaurant, those things should be there, but they searched the restaurant inside and out. They even went down to look at the well in the backyard, and even the alleys around the restaurant. , or nothing was found.
The flesh and skin of an adult man is really cut off, and it can fit a large bucket, as well as the blood, internal organs, together, it is not so easy to hide, not to mention that Boss Zhang is still a fat man, and a lot of things seem to have disappeared out of thin air .
It rained heavily all night, and the oppressive atmosphere in the restaurant continued until dawn.
Huang Dan didn't close his eyes very much, he pushed open the window and looked down, the fresh air that rushed up to his face was wrapped in a touch of humidity.
There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and there was a tall figure in the crowd. The black official uniform couldn't suppress the wildness between his eyebrows. A little girl looked sideways, and he smiled, and the little girl blushed.
Liu Chu worked all night, bought soup dumplings from Siqinglou, and ate them while walking. When he got to the bottom of the restaurant, he suddenly raised his head and looked upstairs.
The yellow sheet upstairs met the man face to face, without closing the window, and looked at him calmly.
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows and turned a blind eye.
Huang Dan was hungry, he went downstairs, but was stopped by Si Mao, "Master Song, I'm sorry, the boss said that no one is allowed to leave until the truth of the case is revealed."
Glancing at the young man, he didn't know if he was angry, but Simao said, "If not, if you have any orders, just mention them, and Si Mao will definitely take care of them for you."
Huang Dan pointed at the man eating soup dumplings at the door, "He was upstairs with us last night. If we are suspected, he is too. Since he can go out, why can't I?"
Si Mao choked.
The skinny boy next to him pulled Simao, and whispered in his ear, "Mao, what this Young Master Song said is true, the boss was also upstairs last night."
Si Mao patted him on the head, "Dare to doubt the boss, you are tired of work!"
The skinny boy gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Who dares to doubt the boss, I mean, the boss was not with us at the time, and we didn't know him... Oh, I really didn't mean that, forget it, I Stop talking."
Si Mao wanted to leave for Ping'an Village, but he absolutely didn't want to go, "Brother, please speak up, the case of stealing chickens will surely fall into your hands."
"..."
The skinny boy said, "Don't I feel panicked."
His voice was extremely low, "It's good to know that there is a murderer, if you are afraid, you are afraid, there is no murderer, you understand what I mean?"
Si Mao shook his head, "I don't understand."
The skinny boy also shook his head, "You have a big head, so you don't have to worry about it raining, it's full of water."
Si Mao gave him a supercilious look.
Anyway, the murderer is among those few. If paper can't cover fire, there is no airtight wall. With the boss around, it will be a matter of time before the other party is exposed.
He turned his head, and there was no one there, "Where is Young Master Song?"
The skinny boy said, "I don't know."
Simao was annoyed, "Go away, it's all your fault, why don't you talk to me about it if you have nothing to do."
He ran out the door, stopped again, and swished to hide behind a sign.
Huang Dan said to the man in front of him, "Catcher Liu, please step aside."
Liu Chu swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, "Master Song, my subordinates should have told you, and please cooperate with our investigation."
Huang Dan said, "I want to eat."
Liu Chu gave him the paper bag in his hand, "There are two more, take them."
Huang Dan took it, shook the paper bag, smelled the aroma, ate it while it was hot, two mouthfuls, ate the buns, and left.
Liu Chu's face darkened, "You have eaten all the buns, what else do you want to do?"
Huang Dan said, "Not enough to eat."
Liu Chu, "..."
He looked up and down, with such a small body, he could handle it with one hand, "Two are not enough?"
Huang Dan said, "Not enough."
Liu Chu snorted coldly, "Then be hungry."
He grabbed the young man with one hand, dragged him into the restaurant, and told his subordinates, "Go and buy four big buns for Young Master Song, stuffed with meat."
Huang Dan said, "I don't want steamed stuffed buns from Siqinglou. There's a little too much ginger and a little less soup. I want the ones from Mrs. Wang's house in West Street. I need two meat fillings, two Chinese cabbage, and two pieces of Chennai on South Street." For the deep-fried dough sticks from the old master’s house, I want another bowl of soybean juice.”
Liu Chu twitched, "There are so many problems."
A voice appeared next to him, "Yeah, I'm almost catching up with the boss."
Liu Chu glanced coldly, "Why are you still here?"
Simao smiled hippiely, "Boss, I think so. Look, the owner of this piece is a squire in the town. Once the news of his accident is released, the big guy will definitely mess up. Maybe his medicinal material shop will also be messed up." Unsteady, at this moment, Boss, you are short of manpower and need me."
Liu Chu said, "No need."
Si Mao hehe, "If you need it, I'll go buy some breakfast for Young Master Song."
He ran away after speaking, for fear that the job would be taken away by others, and he would lose a great opportunity to perform.
Huang Dan was full, sitting in the lobby with nothing to do, so he went to see the man circling the teacup, "Captain Liu, I have been abroad for many years, and I have never heard of a similar case, whether it is the dead salesman, Widow Li, It’s still Boss Zhang, I personally think that no one can do it.”
Liu Chu threw the teacup aside, raised his eyelids, and said with great interest, "Humans can't do it, so what can it do?"
Huang Dan looked into the man's eyes, "This is also where I am puzzled."
Liu Chu turned over a teacup, picked up the teapot and poured tea, "Master Song, based on your words, I can lock you up on the grounds of intentionally creating rumors, attempting to interfere with public order, and inducing people's hearts."
Yellow list, "..."
Liu Chu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and sipped it twice, then poured the tea on the ground, "Yueshan's scented tea is not as good as it used to be."
There is disgust between the lines.
Huang Dan wanted to use the product "cry like a dead dog" on this man once to see if he would cry, but Mr. System told him that he had a sense of crisis because he didn't have many points left.
Even though I was already saving some, it was almost used up.
Then change the method, Huang Dan pondered, he got up, pretended not to stand still, and fell into the man's arms.
Unexpectedly pushed away vigorously, Huang Dan managed to hit his elbow on the bridge of the man's nose just before he fell down.
Liu Chu's pained voice sounded, and he quickly covered the bridge of his nose and went to the backyard, only coming out after a while.
Huang Dan's eyes were even redder. He fell hard just now and knocked his knee. He sat on the ground in pain for a long time before recovering. When he saw the man coming out, he stared at him.
Both of the man's eyes were a little red, and the corners of the eyes were wet and glistening.
Huang Dan said, "You will cry."
Liu Chu's face was gloomy and cold, "What else?"
Huang Dan said, "Sorry."
Liu Chu's nose seemed to be bleeding a lot, and there were still blood stains around it, "Master Song, please stay away from me."
Huang Dan said, "Okay."
He pulled up a chair and sat across from the man.
"..."
Liu Chu's forehead was bulging with blue veins, did the young master drink too much foreign ink and ruined his brain?
Huang Dan caught a tear slowly falling from the corner of the man's eye, and his eyes followed it all the way. When the tear was about to drip down the man's sharp face, he subconsciously reached out to catch it, and his wrist was caught in mid-air up.
Liu Chu teased, "Master Song, what do you want to do? Where are you touching me?"
Huang Dan sucked in pain, "Let go."
Liu Chu pinched the young man's slender hand, and said, "I really can't stay here abroad. Young Master Song can't understand people's language after going there."
Huang Dan frowned, "Liu Butou, let go of your hands."
"Why, weren't you quite capable just now?"
Liu Chu sneered, "I'll tell you to stay away from me, you think I'm farting, Young Master Song, you're skinny and tender, like a woman, but you're not, I'm the one who only plays with women, as for Man, I'm not that interested."
The corners of his lips curled into a malicious arc, and there was no smile in his eyes, "So if you feel bored and want to play, you can find someone else and do this with me again, but there is no good fruit to eat, understand Yet?"
Huang Dan cried, and said hoarsely, "You hurt me."
Liu Chu was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly took his hands away, stood up from the chair, looked down at the young man, and mocked, "Like a bitch."
Huang Dan raised his head abruptly, some emotion appeared in his eyes, he was exploring something, then sank down again, he lowered his head, tears pooled on the tip of his nose, falling drop by drop.
The young man didn't cry at the top of his voice, but it was very painful, which was written on his face.
Liu Chu tilted his head and roared, "Simao!"
Si Mao stared and ran downstairs, seeing the situation in front of him, he stammered, "Boss, boss, what, what, what's the matter?"
Liu Chu forgot what he wanted to say, "It's nothing."
Si Mao, "..."
He glanced at the young man, crying so pitifully, he looked in pain, "Boss, Young Master Song is crying."
Liu Chu squinted, "If you don't leave, I'll let you cry with him."
Si Mao left immediately.
Liu Chu walked around with a knife, round and round, he went upstairs and questioned each wing.
Huang Dan sat on the chair, waited for the pain to reach its peak, and then gradually faded away. There was no other way but this.
He looked at his wrist, there was a patch of red, the strength of a martial arts practitioner is really unpleasant.
Get rid of Liu Chu first.
Huang Dan thought of something, and the corners of his eyes twitched. The old man Zhao knew about the ancient book, and it seemed that the old lady knew about it, as well as the scholar.
Yao must have heard about it, and it is very likely that in order to get rid of the suspicion, she wants to continue playing with the crowd, and shed tears on purpose.
Huang Dan sighed in his heart, unable to move forward again.
The boundary between true and false is not blurred, it is simply invisible.
A homicide happened in the restaurant, Boss Dai was awake, but in a trance, not in the mood to do business, so he sent someone to hang a sign outside the door, saying that the restaurant was closed for three days, and even the waiters were sent away.
When the people in the town saw the policemen going in and out of the restaurant, they all began to guess, maybe someone died again?But don't be.
They gathered at the restaurant and wanted to ask about the situation.
Liu Chu asked Si Mao and the others to deal with it outside the door, and anyone who dared to make trouble at a critical point would be locked up.
There was a lot of restlessness outside the restaurant, and there was no rest inside.
Old man Zhang yelled, saying that he had class in the morning and had to go out, so did Father Ye, his eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't slept all night, his face was haggard, and he hadn't recovered from the scene of Boss Zhang's death.
Song Ying leaned on crutches, "Liu Butou, we all live in the town. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime."
Her complexion was not very good, "Even if the county lord comes, he can't lock us here casually."
Liu Chu sat down on the chair. He put the knife on the table and crossed his long legs. The meaning was clear. Anyone who dared to leave should ask him about the knife first.
Father Ye stared over, "Liu Chu, you are just a small headhunter, don't make trouble for yourself!"
"Master Ye misunderstood."
Liu Chu took a glance, and smiled, "You all know about the bizarre death of Boss Zhang last night, and some of you have seen it. Based on my years of investigation experience, I feel that the murderer's modus operandi is too cruel. Even Animals are worse."
He leaned back a little, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "For everyone's safety and for the peace of the town, we should work together to catch the murderer as soon as possible, what do you think?"
Huang Dan secretly observed the changes in the expressions of several people. Ye Lan's father's mood was very unstable. It seemed that he was afraid and restless. The head of the Song family holds power for half his life, and no one dares to disobey her orders. It is normal to feel unhappy being suppressed by a junior at this moment.
As for old man Zhang, he was muttering about bad luck, bad luck, he might as well have slept at home last night, and he missed Boss Dai, who didn't come down and was lying in his room.
Liu Chu knocked on the table with his fingers a few times, stopped, and then started to knock again. He said casually, "Wait for my friend to come over and find out the cause of Boss Zhang's death, and everyone can leave."
Father Ye took a deep breath. At this age, he would not be impulsive and reckless, not knowing right from wrong, "When will your friend come?"
Liu Chu looked at his pocket watch, "It's coming soon."
Not long after, a man in a gray gown and top hat walked into the restaurant. He was an inspector, surnamed Feng.
Liu Chu put his legs down, "Old Feng, good morning."
Lao Feng took off his top hat, greeted the members of the Song Ying family in the hall, and then went to see Liu Chu, "Where is it?"
Liu Chu stretched, "Upstairs, let's go, I'll take you there."
He turned around and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, everyone."
Huang Dan watched the man go upstairs. The man next to him was quite famous and capable. He didn't just talk nonsense. He probably knew it wasn't someone who did it this time.
Boss Zhang's head and skeleton are still in his own wing, and as soon as the door is opened, the fishy smell inside rushes out.
Old Feng covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked in front of Boss Zhang's head and skeleton.
His family has been doing this job for generations. When he came to him, the salary was better and he was more respectable. He even changed his name. He was called an inspector instead of a coroner.
Times are progressing.
After Lao Feng checked, he remained silent.
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows, "Old Feng, you haven't said a word for a long time, what are you thinking?"
Old Feng took off the veil, "Xiao Liu, I suggest you interrogate those people as soon as possible to see who has problems."
Liu Chu said, "I asked about it last night."
Old Feng folded up the handkerchief, stuffed it in his sleeve, and went back to wash it before using it again, "Ask again."
Liu Chu asked with eyes.
Old Feng pointed to the skeleton, "Look here, there are obvious signs of being eaten on the skeleton of the deceased. It is not left by any animal, nor is it a human being."
Liu Chu had a strange expression, "What is that?"
Old Feng shook his head, "I don't know."
"A long time ago, I heard my grandfather and my father talk, saying that there are some incomprehensible things in the world, and there are unreasonable things."
Liu Chu said for a while, "You mean, demon?"
With a meaningful expression on Lao Feng's face, he patted him on the shoulder, "You and I are both investigators, and it's hard to convince the public if this kind of thing is thrown out, so let's find out first."
Liu Chu looked at Boss Zhang's skeleton, and his face changed slightly.
Old Feng saw it, "Why?"
Liu Chu pointed to several parts of the skeleton, and said with a strange expression, "When I just found out last night, there was a little piece of meat sticking to it, but it's gone now."
"From last night until you came, no outsider has entered the restaurant."
"It seems that there is a big thing doing something wrong, it's still here, and it didn't run away." Old Feng put on his top hat, "You're going to live in Yueshan Town for a while."
He remembered something, "By the way, I just saw the young master of the Song family downstairs. He came back from overseas, and his thinking logic is different from ours. You can ask him to help, and it may have some impact on the case." benefit."
Liu Chu said disdainfully, "Forget it, I don't get along with him."
Old Feng turned to look at him, "You are not a husband and wife, what do you want to get together?"
Liu Chu, "..."
He was not affected, and returned to the main topic, "Old Feng, where is Boss Zhang's head? Have you seen the name?"
"If I say so, I'm afraid you'll think I'm joking."
Old Feng said, "The deceased's head was bitten off with one bite. Listen to what I said clearly. It was one bite, not a few bites, dozens of bites."
Liu Chu took a breath, "One mouthful? How big is that mouth?"
"It's okay if the mouth is too big. At most, the proportion of the facial features is not coordinated. Those teeth are sharper than knives, so it's scary." Old Feng straightened his hat, "I'll go first."
Liu Chu sent Lao Feng away, and asked Simao to take Father Ye upstairs.
Father Ye was outside Boss Zhang's wing, "Boss Liu, your friend has already checked, can we go back?"
Liu Chu leaned against the door, "No rush."
Before Father Ye opened his mouth, he said, "Master Ye, when you came to look for Boss Zhang, did you see anyone?"
Father Ye had obvious repulsion, "Didn't I tell you last night? Why do you still ask?"
Liu Chu said, "Master Ye, as I said before, to solve the case as soon as possible is good to you, me, and everyone."
"No, no one, just myself."
Father Ye calmed down a little. He tried to recall what happened last night, "It was raining heavily outside, and I was not in the mood to sleep. I walked around the room for a while, and then went out to find Boss Zhang next door."
"I knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. I thought Boss Zhang had fallen asleep, so I was about to go back to my room, but I found the door was closed, so I opened it and went in."
Speaking of this, Father Ye's breathing became disordered, his whole body trembled, and so did his voice, "I won't talk about the rest."
Liu Chu saw the panic of the middle-aged man, and his eyes were full of scrutiny, "Mr. Ye, you live next door to Boss Zhang. Just now you said that you didn't sleep last night. You paced around the room without any movement. hear?"
Father Ye shook his head, "If I heard it, I would definitely come out and read it."
He swallowed, as if disgusted by the scene at that time, and also frightened, "Maybe Boss Zhang won't be killed."
Liu Chu patted the hem of his clothes a few times, "No one went out or came in the restaurant last night. Mr. Ye, you have spent more time in contact with the others than I do, and you must know them better than me."
"Why don't you tell me about them."
Father Ye said stiffly, "Captain Liu, it's your job to investigate the case. I'm just a banker and I don't know anything."
Liu Chu stared at it for a few seconds, then shouted downstairs, "Si Mao, take Mr. Ye back."
Father Ye said, "No need."
Liu Chu asked old man Zhang in the same way.
Old man Zhang has been teaching in the Song family's private school for these years, and it is impossible to deal with those brats without any means. His mouth is so nagging that even Liu Chu can't stand it.
Moreover, the nagging is all about irrelevant truths, and it is difficult to interject a sentence.
Liu Chu wiped the drool off his face and went to Boss Dai.
Boss Dai was resting in bed, and she was wearing the imported black nightgown, which was lined with white everywhere, which was very charming. She propped her head on one hand, "Liu Baotou, I will feel embarrassed if you stare at me like that." .”
Liu Chupi smiled, "I didn't see it."
Boss Dai winked, "That's because you're standing too far away, so come over here so you can take a closer look."
Liu Chu walked to the bed, bent his back, put the scabbard in his hand against the woman's chin, and lifted it up a little, "Boss Zhang came to you a lot before he was alive. No more, Boss Dai, your bone smells delicious, it will kill you."
Boss Dai's face immediately changed, "Boss Liu, Ming people don't speak dark words."
"Yes, I have an affair with Boss Zhang, but I only have physical needs with him, and there is no conflict. Besides, if I want to be unfavorable to Boss Zhang, I will choose a place that no one knows, not in my place. on their own territory."
Her fair chest heaved up and down, "Boss Zhang's death in the restaurant has had the greatest impact on me personally!"
"makes sense."
Liu Chu retracted the scabbard, pulled out the knife, and put it back again, "Yesterday afternoon, someone saw Boss Zhang coming to the restaurant. He came really early."
"I made an appointment with him, and we made out for a while." Boss Dai cut his hair and smiled coquettishly, "Why, Catcher Liu wants to hear the process?"
Liu Chu also smiled, with a deep and clear outline, "Yes."
Boss Dai's smile froze and then recovered, "He has no companion, and neither do I. We won't break the law together."
Liu Chu said in a low voice, "So, you really love each other."
Boss Dai said, "It's just a matter of flesh and blood."
Liu Chu smacked his lips, "Boss Dai is really ruthless."
Boss Dai said ambiguously, "It depends on who it is. If it's Catcher Liu, my heart is yours."
Liu Chu said, "Boss Zhang's head and skeleton are still in the room. I heard that wherever a person dies, there is a ghost floating there. Maybe he is on your bed."
Boss Dai's face turned pale immediately, and her hands began to tremble violently. She slowly twisted her neck to look behind her.
Liu Chu drew her thin lips to both sides, "Just kidding, don't get excited."
Boss Dai patted his chest, still in shock, "You scared me to death."
She said with lingering fear, "No, I can't live in the restaurant anymore, I want to go home."
"As long as you don't leave this town, Boss Dai can go wherever he wants." Liu Chu said, "Okay, you can rest."
Not long after, Boss Dai called Liu Chu, "I saw the old lady in the corridor last night."
Liu Chu raised his eyebrows, "I asked you twice, why didn't you mention it?"
Boss Dai lamented, "A girl from a good family can be quite frightened when she sees a dead chicken, let alone..."
She didn't go on, she put her hands on her heart, with a distressed expression on her face, "My heart is still in a mess, how can I sort it out."
Liu Chu asked, "When did it happen?"
Boss Dai said, "Probably we broke up, and after we went back to our rooms, it took about an incense stick."
"At that time when I got up at night, I heard a noise outside the door, so I opened the door a crack and saw the old lady walking in the corridor."
Liu Chu asked, "When you saw the old lady, did you talk to her?"
"That's not true." Boss Dai said, "The old lady is a very serious and dignified person. I have heard a lot about her early deeds. I was afraid of dealing with people like her, so I didn't go up."
"Besides, it's so late, I'm not wearing a coat, it's not suitable."
Liu Chu went outside.
Boss Dai shouted at his figure, "Hey, Catcher Liu, you must find out the murderer!"
Liu Chu appeared in front of Song Yingshi, "Madam, we separated last night, and you stayed in the room until Boss Zhang's incident happened?"
Song Ying said, "Yes."
Liu Chu took good notes. Between the old lady and the woman, someone was lying.
When he came out, he almost bumped into the young man.
Huang Dan said, "Liu Butou, I can go home with my grandma."
Liu Chu didn't look at him, "Please go ahead."
Huang Dan said, "That..."
The man is gone.
Huang Dan didn't catch up, he wanted to find out the results of the investigation here from the other party's mouth, but found that he couldn't start.
Liu Chu specifically explained that Boss Zhang's death should not be revealed to the outside world. It is only a while to hide it for a while, and it will not be too late to make an announcement after the investigation of the case is clear.
Unexpectedly, on the same day, everyone in the town knew that Boss Zhang, the owner of the medicine store, had died, and rumors about what happened to him when he died were spreading.
People are in panic, and the streets and alleys are filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness.
First there was the salesman with only bones left, then Widow Li with a few pieces of skin left, and now Boss Zhang with only his head and skeleton left. They died one after another.
The teahouse was full of seats, and there were many people standing there, asking for news, hoping to hear something.
Monsters, beasts, demons, devils, you name it.
Huang Dan knew that it must be the rumor from the monster, and that this was the opponent's goal. The more chaos the better, it is best to kill each other.
He stayed in the mansion, flipping through the ancient books over and over again.
Juan'er put a bowl of rock sugar pears on the table, and opened a few windows to let the sun and wind that could not wait outside come in together.
Huang Dan sat at the table, took a spoon to dig a piece of pear and ate it, "Juan'er, is there someone in the house?"
Juan'er kept on ahhh, and even stroked her beard with her hands.
Huang Dan said, "Mr. Zhang?"
Juaner nodded.
Huang Dan drank a big sip of Sydney water, then hurried to the old lady's place.
The offspring of the Song family worried about their children's safety, so they were not allowed to go to the private school for the time being. The old man Zhao had nothing to do and was in a hurry, so he wandered around the town and then transferred to the Song residence.
"You've been reading scriptures for decades, haven't you read enough?"
Song Ying plucked the beads, "I recite mine, it has nothing to do with you."
Old man Zhao blew his beard and stared.
Song Ying said, "Why did you come to see me?"
Old man Zhao put his hands behind his back, "I'm here to find Song Wang."
"Ah Wang is in Xiyuan, and here is Nanyuan." Song Ying didn't show a good face, "I can't tolerate messy things in this meditation room, you should get out quickly."
Old man Zhao walked around in front of her eyes, "What a mess? Aren't you swearing?"
When Huang Dan came over, he saw such a scene, "Grandma, teacher, why are you arguing?"
Old man Zhao snorted, "Whoever is arguing with her, I'm not full."
Yellow list, "..."
He is doing business, he will be a peacemaker first, and after talking about what is available, he will enter the topic, "Teacher, foreigner
