Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

Chapter 60 Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio

The thin figure came over and lifted the pillow, wanting to see if the valuables were hidden under the pillow, and then he keenly felt a gaze staring at him, and his body froze immediately.

Turning his head to look over, when he saw Shen Luo, the other party was obviously relieved.

"It turned out to be a little beast."

Shen Luo chirped back, "You are the beast!"

Maybe she was afraid that Shen Luo's voice would attract people, so the thief quickly stretched out her hand to catch her. Shen Luo was stopped at the corner of the bed, blocked on three sides. The Shadowless Claw scratched wildly at the thief's hand.

"Hiss!" The thief withdrew his hand and yelled, then picked up the clothes next to him and was about to cover it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Luo quickly sprinted to the side, then kicked against the wall, and jumped off the thief's shoulder.

The thief chased after him, and Shen Luo jumped onto the beam. She glanced at the thief as if she was mentally handicapped, then she cleared her throat, raised her head and performed a unique move, "Aooooooo~" to catch the thief~

The voice was high-pitched and piercing, and those who didn't know it thought something tragic happened immediately.

After a few clicks, someone broke in from outside. It happened to be a young man. As soon as he came in, he saw the thief, blinked his eyes, and then reacted and shouted loudly: "Catch the thief~"

As soon as the thief heard this, he picked up a stool and threw it at the boy. At the same time, he turned around and was about to jump down the window.

Shen Luo raised her heart, seeing that the stool was about to hit the boy, when Huo Yan rushed in from the door and kicked the stool away, she was relieved.

"Young master, are you okay?" Then he ran to the window and looked down, only to see a bare rope hanging under the window, and the thief had already run away along the rope.

"Ah Hei, I'm fine, but it's Xiaobai who's in trouble, it seems to have jumped onto the beam and can't get down." The boy pointed upwards and said to Huo Yan.

Who says I can't come down?Shen Luo gave the young man a condescending look, well, she won't come next time, she just jumped up because of her potential explosion, as for now, Shen Luo glanced down, feeling dizzy, is she about to fall?

When Huo Yan heard this, he turned around and jumped up, grabbed Shen Luo and threw him into the boy's arms, "Master, wait here, I'll see if I lost anything."

He knew early in the morning that there would be a thief coming, but he didn't expect the other party to be so anxious. Someone came before it was dark. Fortunately, there were only some clothes on the bed. Huo Yan opened the bed and saw that the package under the bed was still there , then rest assured.

Although he puts banknotes and other big things next to his body, he can't just put them in one place, because under the bed board is his backhand.

The young man didn't care what Huo Yan was doing, he put Shen Luo on the table, and then took out a paper bag from his pocket. When the paper bag was opened, a roast chicken that was still warm was revealed.

"Xiaobai, get hungry, eat quickly. I heard that foxes like chicken the most, so I brought you one specially. If I had known that there would be bad guys in the house, I would have brought you with me for dinner..." The young man Rambling on and on.

Shen Luo's butt was facing him, sniffing the aroma of roasted chicken, resisting the urge to pounce on him.

She is a fox with integrity, if she thinks that she will compromise and accept the name Xiaobai for a roast chicken, it is too small to underestimate her.

Shen Luo glanced at the roasted chicken again, held back his drooling, and sat on the table with a haughty attitude.

The young man pushed the roast chicken, "Hey, isn't it to your liking? But didn't you still eat happily at noon?"

Shen Luo blushed, could she not mention the matter of stealing other people's leftovers at noon, Shen Luo had the illusion that this would become her black history.

"Ah Hei, come quickly and help me take a look, Xiaobai doesn't eat." It has become a teenager's habit to ask Ah Hei when something is undecided.

"Master, don't call me Ah Hei, I have a name..."

The boy interrupted him, "Okay, I know Ah Hei, come quickly and help me see if Xiao Bai is sick?"

You know it every time, but you never change it.Huo Yan muttered something in his heart, put down his clothes and walked over.

"Master, don't get too close. A small animal like a fox is very vigilant. If you keep staring at it, it won't eat it."

"Ah, what should we do?" the young master asked immediately.

Huo Yan said again: "How about you stay away first, don't look at it specially, and when it finds out that it is not dangerous, it will probably eat it."

Shen Luo held back her saliva and nodded madly in her heart, yes, yes, you should go far away, the roast chicken is almost cold.

The young man didn't know if he accepted the suggestion, he got up and walked out, Huo Yan followed, "Young master has lost a few taels of silver, should you report it to the officials first?"

The young man sniffed and closed the door, then looked into the room through the crack of the door, and replied while looking: "Oh, this is not important, Ah Hei, you can figure it out!"

Huo Yan immediately said: "Anyway, the money lost is not much, we should set off tomorrow, it's better to have one thing more than one thing less, let's forget it first?"

While listening, Shen Luo leaned in front of the roast chicken and gnawed a few mouthfuls.

Then I heard the excited voice of the boy outside, "Yeah, you can figure it out, ah, Xiaobai is so cute, his mouth is still puffed up like a puppy when he eats. Ah Hei, you know? I always I want a puppy, but my father has always refused to agree, this time I met Xiaobai outside, and my wish was fulfilled, Xiaobai is much cuter than a puppy."

Shen Luo turned her back to the door, and replied in her heart, even if you have eyes, I am a beautiful fox like a flower and a jade.

After the meal, Huo Yan also informed the shopkeeper about the theft, and then the shopkeeper changed another room for them.

After all, being able to grasp Huo Yan's whereabouts and guest room information in such detail, one could tell at a glance that there was a problem. Seeing that the other party did not pursue the matter, the shopkeeper gratefully waived the rent for these two days.After all, if this kind of thing is spread, whether it is guarding oneself or colluding with foreign thieves, it is not a good reputation, and it will always affect one's own business.

"Ah~" On the street, he fought with the young man for Shen Luo's lady, and when he got home, he threw plates and teapots angrily.

"Hey, miss, don't be angry, if you let my aunt know, you won't feel so bad?" the maid beside her whispered.

"Why don't you make me angry? It's fine to be angry at home, but you have to be angry with others when you go out. Do you think these people sincerely want to fight against me?" The young lady sat down angrily and glared at the west.

"Miss, don't be angry, cousin grandma may not be able to be the master's continuation, if you go and talk to the eldest lady, if she disagrees, then the master still insists on marrying?"

The young lady turned her back angrily, "I'm not going, talking to the elder sister, I can't say a word for a long time, why should I die of anger?"

The servant girl continued to persuade: "Miss, the master loves the young miss the most. If she doesn't agree with the master to continue the strings, then it's useless for the cousin and grandma to stay at home."

When the young lady thought of this matter, she became very annoyed. Finally, her aunt was gone. Unexpectedly, her father had no intention of fixing her aunt at all. Now there is a cousin who doesn't know where she came from, with a coquettish look on her face. He could tell at a glance that he coveted her father.But every time she tried to sarcasm, she would jump in anger. That woman was much more difficult to deal with than she imagined!

This time I went out to relax, and finally saw a fox, which happened to be able to make up for the small piece of fox fur she was missing. I didn't expect that there would be someone who didn't have eyes to snatch it from her!

"Go and find out who that kid is for me, find someone to teach me a lesson, and snatch that fox from me, that piece of fox leather is for Miss Ben." The lady slapped the table.

"Okay, Miss." The servant girl gave a weird smile and turned to leave.

At night, the young lady was so angry because of the day's events that she was lying on the bed tossing and turning. At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the room, followed by a series of footsteps. The young lady immediately shouted angrily, "Who is it!"

The next moment a black shadow rushed towards the young lady, and the young lady let out a shrill scream.

Shen Luo absorbed Yuehua all night, but there was no effect at all. Probably because his body and feet were too poor, that's why he couldn't even absorb Yuehua.

Shen Luo suddenly thought of the days when she was Hu Xiaoqi, it was really extravagant at that time, Yuehua could absorb as much as she wanted, and she didn't work hard for three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.Now she has tasted the pain, she can feel the moonlight, but she can't absorb it, as if there is something between her body and the moonlight, as if the two worlds are not connected to each other.

In short, this physical fitness is too poor.

Shen Luo was saddened, but this time she would suffer, she was afraid that this body would not be able to cultivate, if so, she could only be trapped on this fox.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo panicked. Could it be that the mirror tricked her?

When she thought of the mirror and her freedom being controlled by others, Shen Luo lost the motivation to practice, no, she must cheer up, this world is much more spiritual than the previous life, she doesn't believe that she can't practice, As long as she has some spiritual power, she can connect to the spirit and take out the purse, and then rely on the dragon balls and don't have to work so hard to suck a little bit of moonlight.

It's just that now she doesn't even know how to get started with spiritual power. She is used to absorbing spiritual power in the first two worlds is easier than drinking water and eating. She never knew that one day she would linger at the level of getting started.

Seeing that Shen Luo couldn't eat the food early in the morning, the young man became very anxious, "Ah Hei, come and help me find out, what's wrong with Xiaobai?"

Huo Yan drank a bowl of porridge in a hurry, then picked up Shen Luo, looked through it and said, "Oh, I probably want to be vegetarian!"

Shen Luo opened his mouth and was about to bite, only ghosts want to be vegetarians!

The young man snatched it over and glared at Huo Yan, "You think I'm stupid, how can a fox be a vegetarian?"

Shen Luo was snatched by these two bastards, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

At this moment, a series of hasty footsteps came from the stairs outside the guest room, "Case, case, irrelevant personnel retreat..."

The young man looked out curiously, and saw the shopkeeper leading a group of policemen walking towards their guest room, "This is here, adults and they are inside..."

When Huo Yan heard footsteps coming towards their guest room, his face changed slightly, but the young man looked carefree, looking curiously at the policemen who entered the door.

"Are you the ones who had a conflict with Miss Wang yesterday?" A policeman asked after he entered the door, glanced at the two of them, then fixed his eyes on Huo Yan.

Huo Yan stood up, "My lord, we don't know who the Miss Wang you mentioned is?"

Among the arresters, one reprimanded: "There is no need to quibble, someone saw you arguing with Miss Wang in front of Fuyun Restaurant yesterday, that's all, Miss Wang was killed last night, you follow us back to the yamen for interrogation."

The young man was surprised, "Why, that pungent woman died?" Thinking of the news of the death of the little girl who was fine yesterday, the young man felt inexplicably emotional. If he had known, he would not have let Xiao Bai out. , huh~

"My lords, my young master and I stayed in this inn last night. How could we go out and kill people?" Huo Yan thought it was ridiculous. He didn't go to catch the murderer when he died alone. It's ridiculous.

"Whether you are the murderer or not, you have to go to the Yamen for interrogation." The policeman was unmoved.

Huo Yan was a little angry, and just about to reveal his identity, he heard the young man behind him eager to try: "Go to the Yamen? Okay, okay, I just want to go and have a look."

Huo Yan immediately looked at his young master helplessly, what kind of trouble does his young master want to cause?Don't you know that Yamen is not easy to enter?

"These officers and Mrs. Wang, we have only met once, and we haven't seen each other since we left the restaurant. It would be ridiculous to suspect us of murder, and we don't know who she is, and we don't know her family. Where, how could she be killed?" Huo Yan tried to reason.

The catcher said with a straight face: "The murderer this time is too cruel. He took Miss Wang's skin off and made her die of pain. Because this time is too bad, everyone who has been in contact with Miss Wang recently is in the yamen. Within the scope of the interrogation, if you prove that you are not suspected, you will naturally be released at that time."

As soon as he heard that Ms. Wang died so badly, Huo Yan stopped talking. They should assist in the investigation in this case, but he can, but the identity of the young master cannot be revealed.

"Then let me go. You see, our young master is still a half-grown child, how could he kill someone?"

The policeman glanced at the young man, and said again: "If you can prove that he had an alibi last night, of course you don't have to go."

"I slept in my room last night, who can testify?" Huo Yan was a little angry.

The catcher spread his hands, "That one has nothing to do, okay, please, please, don't waste time."

The boy stood up holding Shen Luo, and did not forget to take a meat bun as dry food for Shen Luo. He said excitedly: "Ah Hei, are you going to solve the case? Let's go!"

Master, this is not a play house.

Huo Yan had no choice but to pack up his luggage and chase after the young man impatiently. Fortunately, the police officers were polite and surrounded them without using shackles.

Probably because the young man was dressed in an unusual way, it was unlikely to be suspected, and they were afraid of causing problems, such as the young man's extraordinary status, etc., so the policemen were very polite to the two of them.

After entering the yamen, Huo Yan revealed his identity, and the county magistrate immediately came to meet him, "I don't know who this is?"

Huo Yan threw away his ID card, "I'm just a sixth-rank member of the Inspectorate, not worth mentioning. This time I was passing through your place and got involved in a murder case for no reason. I'm still a little confused."

The county magistrate suddenly sweated on his forehead, "It's the fault of the subordinate officials. The subordinates are too short-sighted to arrest the adults by mistake." Although the county magistrate is seventh-rank and sixth-rank is not likely to be at the same level as the magistrate, arresting the superior is a serious crime.

"No problem." Huo Yan took back the token, "Those who don't know are innocent, and I haven't revealed their identities to those arresters. Since you're here, can you ask the county magistrate for the inside story of Ms. Wang's case?"

The county magistrate wiped his sweat and said slowly, "Speaking of which, this case is also very strange. Today, the official received a report early in the morning, saying that Ms. Wang was killed. It was only after Wu's autopsy that he came to a conclusion that this Ms. Wang was skinned to death before she was alive, but there was no abnormality in her mouth. Obviously, she must have screamed before she died. The strange thing is that no one in Miss Wang's yard heard the sound last night. The strangest thing is that Ms. Wang died Afterwards, most of the blood in her body disappeared, and the blood scattered in the room was not even a quarter of her whole body. The first person who discovered this was Miss Wang's personal maid. According to her, Miss Wang returned to the mansion yesterday. Then she got very angry and drove all the vigilantes out at night, and when she came to wake Miss Wang up the next day as usual, she found that Miss Wang had died on the bed."

Speaking of this, the county magistrate sighed, "That girl has been frightened mad now, and she is still locked in the woodshed of the Wang family."

Huo Yan was also horrified when he heard this, "How much hatred and grievance is there to be so cruel." Then he said: "This must be an internal crime, only someone who is familiar with Miss Wang's work and rest can do it so accurately. "

The county magistrate respectfully said: "The lower official thinks so too."

"Since I have been involved in this case, follow the procedure. I am willing to explain what happened yesterday."

The county magistrate thanked him gratefully, "Thank you for your cooperation." Then the county magistrate called someone to invite Huo Yan to the sixth room to record his testimony.

As soon as the person left, the county magistrate immediately changed his expression, "Come here." A young man walked in from outside.

The county magistrate immediately said: "Quickly go and invite the master over, and tell me that a great thing has happened."

The servant went to answer the order, and the county magistrate paced anxiously in the room, and looked outside the door from time to time.

The servant quickly led the master over. He was a shriveled middle-aged man with cunning eyes and a goatee on his chin. He looked like he was not a good person.

As soon as the master entered the door, he bowed to the county magistrate, "Dong Weng, what are you looking for?"

The county magistrate looked excited and mysterious: "Master, do you still remember the letter from half a month ago?"

The master hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could it be that letter?"

The county magistrate was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "Yes, that's the letter. Didn't we guess that the young master would not pass by our county seat? Do you know what the officer found just now?"

The county magistrate slapped his thigh and said: "I found out that a small official who claimed to be from the capital came to the county seat. That person is still protecting a teenage boy. Could it be the little master in the letter?"

The master looked shocked, and then was pleasantly surprised, "Then congratulations to Dong Weng, if we can keep this one, wouldn't Dong Weng's glory come soon?"

The county magistrate was very proud, "This kid thinks he can get by with the inspector's badge, but he can't escape the eyes of the officer. This time, as long as these two people are captured and handed over to the superior, then you and I People really reach the sky in one step. When the time comes, I will take the next step, and the county magistrate will definitely recommend it to you."

The master was overjoyed immediately, "Then let's thank Dong Weng first."

"Cough." The county magistrate cleared his throat and let the master listen to him, "When the time comes, you will just be like this..."

"Okay, follow the plan, don't make people suspicious, you must drag the person down for a few days, and wait for the higher-ups to take over."

The master patted his chest and reassured: "Don't worry, I will help you with Dong Weng's matter."

Shen Luo felt that he probably followed an unreliable master. This young boy was not only curious, but also very thoughtful.

For example, at this time, not only was he not worried when he entered the Yamen, but he was also in the mood to chat with other suspects. I had never seen him so big-hearted.

Soon after Huo Yan came back, Shen Luo let go of her worries, and fell asleep in the boy's arms. She didn't sleep all night last night.

When Huo Yan came back, he took his young master to his side, "Okay, young master, don't make a fuss, finish the matter quickly, we have to hurry today."

But this is obviously Huo Yan's extravagant wish.

After the master of the yamen finished recording the confession, he smiled and told Huo Yan to sign if there was no problem.

Huo Yan glanced at it and saw that it was exactly what he said, so he signed it.Then came the young man, and the young man also signed the signature, and the master said: "Please don't leave this county for a few days, you can only leave if you find out that you are not suspected."

Huo Yan frowned suddenly, "This is not possible, I have to hurry on my way."

The master stopped laughing at this time, "I'm sorry, come here, please go to the cell for a while, and wait for a few days to clear the suspicion before leaving."

Seeing more than 20 arresters coming up, Huo Yan suddenly darkened, "You call your county magistrate!"

The master said triumphantly: "Sorry, my Dong Weng has no time to see you and wait for Xiaomin. I advise you to be more honest, I have the final say in this yamen."

Shen Luo woke up when the interrogation was being recorded. Hearing the master's arrogant words, his paws itch, and he wished to give him a paw.

Huo Yan stared at the master for a while, and didn't know if he saw something. He didn't resist and was pushed into the cell by the policemen.

The young man was also brought over, but he was still dazed, "Ah Hei, we didn't kill anyone, how did you arrest us and put us in the cell?"

Huo Yan smiled wryly, "Master, our identities must have been exposed."

Shen Luo stared at the two of them, she pricked up her ears, hey hey, is there something she doesn't know?

The boy let out an "ah", and then comforted Huo Yan, "Don't worry, Ah Hei, I know you are very powerful and will save me and Xiaobai out."

Huo Yan replied after a while: "...Thank you, young master, for your trust."
