The news that the deceased was old man Zhang was not concealed for too long.

At noon, Mrs. Zhang's family made a fuss at the door of the inn.

Crying and grabbing the ground as if he would follow old man Zhang in the next second.

A lot of people who don't know why gathered at the door, discussing noisyly.

Someone yelled, Boss Zhang died unjustly, and the crowd erupted.

In this day and age, dead people are not a small thing or a big thing.

But there are always people watching and booing. Everyone has different mentalities and yearns for justice.

Jian Shou stood at the window on the second floor and looked down. People were grimacing, clamoring to catch the murderer.

Jian Shou blinked his eyelids, and a blurred shadow fell on his side face.

He heard the sudden turmoil downstairs with keen ears, and withdrew his fingertips by the window.

Last night, many people saw the conflict between Si Nian and old man Zhang.

When seeing old man Zhang's body being carried out, everyone who had been nervous all pointed their finger at Si Nian.

Si Nian was "invited" out by the arresting head, and all his outfits were also held in their hands.

His mood has been very stable, and he met everyone's sharp eyes without changing his face.

Jian Shou came down from upstairs just in time to see Mrs. Zhang's family kneeling next to the corpse covered in white cloth.

A pair of tearful eyes looked at Si Nian with superficial resentment, but there was no hatred in it.

Faced with Li Butou's questions, although Si Nian was impatient, he still answered them one by one.

"name."

"Ling Xiaozi."

"Why didn't you go out of the room to eat last night?"

Si Nian lifted up the corner of his clothes and sat on the bench with his feet up.

"Because I arrived in Yangzhou overnight, I was already very tired, so I ate some dry food and went to sleep."

"Why did you come to Yangzhou?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with this case, does it?" Turning a corner again, "But it's okay to answer you."

He brushed off the dust that wasn't there on his sleeves.

"You also know that I am a Taoist priest, so there are ghosts to catch when I come here."

What he said was mysterious, and someone in the lobby remembered his conversation with old man Zhang last night, which was even more mysterious and bluffing than this.

Catcher Li didn't like this: "How did you find out that old man Zhang had a bloody disaster last night?"

Si Nian: "It's been said that I'm a Taoist priest."

Li Butou was aggressive: "Still, you are the initiator of this bloody disaster, so you can be so sure."

Si Nian frowned: "Captain Li, are you fraudulent or trying to extract a confession? Evidence is important in everything."

"Just because I had a quarrel with old man Zhang, do you think you knew me and killed him?"

Catcher Li: "No, I'm suspicious. You have both motive and time, so your suspicion is the biggest."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who had been silent all this time, rushed over suddenly.

The head catcher didn't stop her, and let her slap Si Nian on the face: "I want you to kill for your life!"

Si Nian turned his face sideways, and the tip of his tongue pushed up the numb skin in a prominent arc.

From the corner of the eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the blue figure on the stairs, and the indifferent expression on the outside.

With a sharp twitch in his heart, the sourness disappeared in an instant, Si Nian turned his head and twitched the corner of his mouth at Mrs. Zhang's family.

There was a touch of sarcasm: "As a person, I have no rules not to hit women."

At this time Li Butou came over and stopped Mrs. Zhang's family behind him: "Madam, please calm down."

Xu Man's expression was a little exaggerated, and his eyes were blue and stared at Li Butou.

"He is clearly the murderer, why don't you arrest him!"

There are policemen nearby who can't stand it anymore, but how dare a commoner dare to point fingers at them!

"Xu Man! When will the government get you? Just stay and go!"

Xu Man closed his mouth, changed his posture, and wiped the corners of his eyes softly.

Then Li Butou questioned the people in the inn one by one, and Si Nian undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.

He listened to the accusations made against him by this group of strangers, pierced his ears, feeling annoyed.

He looked at Li Butou, with a deep light in his eyes, but his expression was indifferent: "What do you think?"

Li Butou actually had the illusion of being threatened, and disappeared without a trace the next moment.

He frowned and looked at the corpses placed in the corner, and waved to his subordinates——

"Take them all away. If the case is not finalized for a day, the inn will be closed for a day!"

The shopkeeper's legs went limp, and he wailed silently. A guest officer wanted to step forward to argue, but was blocked back by a large knife drawn out of its sheath.

Jian Shou, on the other hand, stood there the whole time, watching Si Nian being taken away from a distance.

Across the door, there is a crowd of people outside, all staring at this place.

It seems that as long as there is prey flowing in, they can tear him into pieces together.

With his wrists bound, Si Nian walked forward without any struggle.

When crossing the threshold, he suddenly turned his head and whistled in Jian Shou's direction.

Frivolous and unreasonable, without the slightest self-knowledge to become a prisoner.

Jian Shou lowered his eyes and understood his expression, it's not because he has a chance to win.

As a Taoist priest who has practiced for ten years, it is impossible for Si Nian to have no means to prove his innocence.

He was just waiting, waiting for the first seven days of resurgence.

There is nothing more convincing than the dead themselves telling their grievances.

But he is still in a very bad mood now, a rotten egg hit his cheekbone, it is heavy and smelly.

Then there was overwhelming abuse and vegetable leaves, and the temperature in Si Nian's eyes became colder and colder.

There was a feeling of tyranny that was difficult to suppress in my heart.

Everyone in the world is ignorant, if this was the case ten years ago, it will be the same ten years from now.

Catcher Li saw his gloomy expression and thought he was worried about the case.

"The county magistrate should have an interrogation the next day, and when the time comes, he will be honest and less punished."

Si Nian wiped his dirty face and walked into his cell, sitting on the floor.

He raised his head and said with a willful tone, "Let's discuss something."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"I have a way to find out who killed old man Zhang."

Catcher Li was a little surprised, feeling that the young Taoist hadn't understood his situation yet.

"Have you ever heard of resurrecting a dead body? I can make old man Zhang tell the truth."

It's a fantasy!Catcher Li was a little angry, this man was trying to fool him.

"Ah~ you don't believe me...then I have to think about it."

After finishing speaking, he began to carefully look at Li Butou's face, and spit out unexpected words...

Li Butou listened silently to Si Nian's words, the expression on his face changed again and again.

He actually told the news of his recent fortune and the news that his wife was pregnant again without any mistakes.

Li Butou and his wife are thin, and after giving birth to a son for him ten years ago, they have not conceived again.

A few days ago, I almost fainted and was found to be pregnant. The doctor said that the pregnancy is not safe.

There is a folk superstition that an unstable fetus cannot announce pregnancy in the first three months.

So apart from the doctor that day and their husband and wife, no one knew about it!

But how did this person know?

"Your fate is not prosperous, and you are destined to have only one son."

Watching Li Butou's expression gradually change from calm to panic.

Si Nian turned around again: "But since this accident happened, it's not that there is no way to save it."

Li Butou's eyes lit up, but he kept holding the handle of the knife tightly, without opening his mouth.

Reason and professional ethics prevented him from automatically walking into the trap of a suspect.

Si Nian didn't urge him either, waiting for him to figure it out.

It took a long time before Catcher Li finally made up his mind.

Kneeling down and looking directly into Sinian's eyes: "Are you sure about what you said before? Can you really bring old man Zhang back to life?"

Si Nian grinned, Ru Mo's pupils were bewildered——

"It's natural."

Catcher Li gritted his teeth: "Okay! I'll go and ask the county magistrate for instructions. If this doesn't work out, you won't even have a way out."

Sinian murmured, "Is there a way out..."

He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he smiled meanly: "I never give myself a way out."

Because as early as ten years ago, he had no only way out.

In the end, Si Nian gave Li Butou a talisman paper folded into a triangle.

Li Butou held it tightly, as if seeing a glimmer of hope, he became excited and left the cell quickly.

Si Nian looked at his back, his smile gradually sank.

He did not tell him what it would cost him to keep the fetus, his wife would not survive.

He thought viciously, it was a life-for-life deal, and no one could pick it up cheaply.

…………

It was getting dark, and there was no light in the dark room, but a wisp of cigarette was lit.

The fragrance is strong, and the white mist is indistinct, from which a tall human figure gradually emerges.

Jian Shou, who was waiting at the side, walked over and took his cold hand: "Today is a bit late again."

Not to blame, but to worry, the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous his situation would be.

The other hand touched the man's abdomen without holding back: "Are you full?"

Men live by devouring ghosts, but when they come to the world, their mouths become a bit trickier.

He likes to eat ghosts that are fresh and die, even if these ghosts have no magic power, they are actually of no help to his cultivation.

The man pressed his hand down, and the muscles in his abdomen softened on purpose: "I'm very hungry, old ghosts are too bad to eat."

Smelly and hard.

Jian Shou was a little helpless, knowing that even if he ate this food, his stomach would not bulge out.

But still distressed: "I have already found it for you."

Although his voice is gentle, it actually reveals cruelty, and the excess kindness seems to have faded away, and he has really turned bad.

You can watch others die without any fluctuations, and then become food for men.

Old man Zhang's ghost is still fresh, but he can't be eaten right now, Jian Shou knows Si Nian's plan.

So he rubbed the man's belly comfortingly: "Wait a little longer."

The man hummed, and wanted to pull Jian Shou out of his arms, for fear of hurting him.

But Jian Shou hugged her: "Stay with me for a night, nothing will happen."

He doesn't need to sleep, but there is always a way to make himself sleep like a human.

The man had no way to refuse him, and even felt a joy that couldn't be ignored, sweet and greasy.

Then a gust of wind swept over, the robes were rolled up, and the two lay side by side on the bed.

They didn't do anything, they just hugged and slept together, absorbing the warmth that didn't exist in each other.
