chapter 6 There is a demon

Clarence Chen had a dream, a very serious dream.

In the past two years, he has actually been dreaming frequently, and the content of his dreams is always about a woman.

In the dream, there was a woman who kept looking at him. In the dream, Clarence Chen could do many things, but he couldn't look into the woman's eyes. Every time he wanted to look into the woman's eyes, he could only see one. The scorching light was extremely dazzling, and the stinging sensation would wake him up instantly.

But this time, before he could look into the woman's eyes, he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Along with the knock on the door, there were waves of friendly calls.

"The governor of Chen Town, the governor of Chen Town..."

Clarence Chen opened his eyes and saw the wild cat stopped on the roof in the distance, a pair of green eyes staring at Clarence Chen.

"roll!"

Clarence Chen unceremoniously grabbed a piece of patent leather that had fallen off a wooden pillar and threw it over. It landed accurately at the feet of the wild cat.

The wild cat turned and ran away without stopping.

Chen Chao stretched out, took a look at the sky, and muttered: "It's only the 23:00 pm to 1:00 am the next day?"

When I came to the door and opened the courtyard door, I saw a beadle holding a lantern, covered with wind and snow, shivering from the cold.

Clarence Chen glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? Master Mi invites you for supper again?"

This is Devin Mi's hobby. He likes to invite people to eat supper together in the middle of the night.

The beadle was stunned. He never expected that Clarence Chen's first words after opening the door would be this.

"Tell me, what happened."

Clarence Chen glanced at the snowstorm on the beadle's body, braving the heavy snow in the middle of the night to treat him to a supper? It's just what I said casually.

The beadle came back to his senses, without hesitation, and immediately told all the things that happened in the County magistrate before. However, this guy obviously had never been to a private school, and he talked about very simple things for half a quarter of an hour. , and finally he gasped and said: " Butcher Zhang from Changyuan road is also dead. We will definitely have no pork to eat in the future!"

Clarence Chen twitched his lips, are you still concerned about this?

"It doesn't matter. If Butcher Zhang dies, I won't eat pigs with hair on them."

Chen Chao asked: "Now Mi...what do you mean?"

"The county magistrate asked Chen governor to go to Changyuan road immediately to take a look. He suspected that it was a monster causing trouble."

monster? Speaking of this, Clarence Chen waist suddenly straightened up.

Suddenly, my spirit was completely different from when I opened the door.

Seeing Clarence Chen like this, the beadle couldn't help but admire his master's true knowledge and insight. As expected!

However, Clarence Chen did not follow the beadle out immediately. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the courtyard.

"What's the matter? What else does governor Chen have to do?"

The beadle was a little anxious. After all, this was a major matter related to human life. If the matter was not investigated clearly, I am afraid that the whole Tianqing county would be panicked tomorrow.

Before he finished speaking, the door to the side room was pushed open, and a girl in a blue cotton-padded coat walked out.

Looking at the beautiful girl, the beadle was a little distracted at first, and then felt his face getting hot, and then he lowered his head with some self-reproach. It was really inappropriate for him to disturb the good deeds of governor Chen Zhen in the middle of the night.

No wonder governor Chen was not in good spirits when he opened the door and came out.

Clarence Chen glanced at Lydia Xie suspiciously and asked, "Let's go out together?"

Lydia Xie nodded and went to pick up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the door.

Clarence Chen nodded and followed the beadle out.

Lydia Xie followed Clarence Chen, not too far but not too close.

The beadle was a talkative person who couldn't take any time off. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help it anymore and said, "governor Chen Zhen, which girl is this? A new wife?"

Clarence Chen was silent.

"governor Chen, after all, you are still young and promising. You are the governor at a young age, and your martial arts level is high. The wife you are looking for now is more beautiful than our lord's wife."

"That's too much. Is Lao Mi's wife comparable to her?"

"You can't say that. Madam is still very good. If I can marry such a wife in this life, my death will be worth it."

"Your pursuit is quite low."

"Yes, how can you compare with the governor Chen?"

"You speak so nicely."

…

…

With the compliments of the beadle, Clarence Chen and his party arrived in front of a house on Changyuan road. The place had long been surrounded by government officials, and countless torches illuminated the place like daylight.

Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!

There are footprints of different shades on the long street.

Seeing Clarence Chen, the nervous expressions of the government officials relaxed a lot. In Tianqing county, if nothing else, the young man in front of them was like a divine needle in the sea.

With him here, everything will be easy.

However, as Lydia Xie appeared in their sight, the government officials couldn't take their eyes away. Although Lydia Xie, holding an oil-paper umbrella, covered most of his appearance, the half of his face exposed was enough to attract their attention. .

The beadle cleared his throat and said, "What are you looking at? This is the wife of governor Chen. Please don't have any evil thoughts!"

Regarding this statement, Lydia Xie frowned slightly, while Clarence Chen was not thinking about it at all.

However, it still has some effect. At least under this voice, most of the government officials withdrew their gaze. Although Clarence Chen was young and had no control over them, in the bureaucracy of the liang Dynasty, he But he has the same official rank as Devin Mi, the Magistrate of a county magistrate.

It shouldn't be too easy to punish these corrupt officials.

Stepping into the courtyard, Clarence Chen immediately saw Devin Mi standing over there. The parent official of Tianqing county was standing under the eaves with a livid face. After seeing Clarence Chen, the Magistrate of a county magistrate's face changed instantly and he was full of expressions. He came out with a smile on his face, "Brother Chen, I've been waiting for you!"

Clarence Chen rubbed his hands and asked, "What's going on?"

Although I knew some of the original story before, neither the beadle nor master Hou from earlier could actually explain the details of the murder clearly.

Devin Mi nodded and began to take the initiative to talk about the details of the two murder cases. After all, Mi Ke had read books and worked as a Magistrate of a county for so many years. Devin Mi's ability was still there. In a few words, he made things clear.

"There is no wound, and he died like this. This is really interesting."

Clarence Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see the body."

Devin Mi nodded. Post-mortem examiner had already looked at it before and had no clue. He also didn't find anything suspicious at the scene. It could almost be said that he had no clue. So he couldn't help but think about monsters.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Clarence Chen saw a fat and strong corpse on the imperial chair in the center. It was Butcher Zhang.

On the square table next to it, there was only an empty wine jar and a wine bowl still filled with half a bowl of wine.

The cause of death of Butcher Zhang was the same as that of the Chen family and his wife before. They both died in their sleep. The only difference was that Butcher Zhang died on the imperial chair while the Chen family and his wife died on the bed.

"Butcher Zhang has been a widower for many years. He drinks some wine every day when he closes his stall. There is no poison in the wine. He has a good drinking capacity. It should not be a problem of excessive drinking. As for other wounds, we have not found them."

The skinny Post-mortem examiner bowed to Clarence Chen , his words were very sophisticated and not procrastinating at all. However, between his eyes, this old Post-mortem examiner who had been working as a County magistrate official for more than ten years felt a little ashamed. As a Post-mortem examiner, he could not find out the cause of death several times. This is really a shame!

"Would you like to call the witness who found Butcher Zhang's body for questioning?"Devin Mi glanced at Clarence Chen and suggested.

Although he had inquired before, he still believed that Chen Chao would find something else.

"No need, it must be a monster."

Clarence Chen subconsciously touched the handle of the knife and narrowed his eyes.

Devin Mi was startled and asked: "How can you see it?"

This is a big deal. Although monsters are now rampant in liang Dynasty, and the entire Tianqing county has not seen monsters for several years, in liang Dynasty, the most threatening people's lives are monsters.

It would be fine if the local governor was capable, but if it was like the previous governor in Tianqing county , the people would be in unspeakable misery.

"His eye sockets are slightly sunken, but there are no wounds on his body. His soul has left his body, so naturally he cannot survive."

Clarence Chen glanced at Mi Devin Mi and frowned slightly, "This kind of monster feeds on the souls of living people to nourish its body, so there will be no wounds."

When he saw Butcher Zhang's body, Clarence Chen had already noticed the faint demonic aura. He was already sure that a demon was at work, but he immediately had some doubts.

In the Tianqing county. Even the monsters that survived did not dare to approach the county because they were afraid of Clarence Chen's evil reputation. But now the monsters not only appeared, but also acted openly. of killing people in the county town.

Do you think I can’t understand?

Clarence Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to the County magistrate and see those two corpses."

…

…

"The cause of death is the same, caused by the same demon."

After walking out of the morgue, Chen Chao sat down on the threshold. It was already dawning, and it was about to be early morning. Devin Mi had some tiredness that could not be concealed on his face, but everyone in the County magistrate headed by him was strong at this moment. He concentrated and looked at Clarence Chen.

"The level of the monster is not high, but its traces are a bit hard to find, and I haven't determined what kind of monster it is yet."

There are many monsters in the liang Dynasty Dynasty, and the booklet issued by the government to identify monsters has hundreds of pages.

"This thing hasn't appeared in the past few years, why is it here now?"Clarence Chen muttered, a little irritated.

If there is no trace of the monster, it means that there will be another victim at any time. In Tianqing county, whether it is big or small, where will this monster commit a crime next?

"Both murders were committed on Changyuan Street."

A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Devin Mi followed the sound and saw the girl wearing a light blue robe. The Magistrate of a county magistrate frowned. When...there was an extra girl in the County magistrate?

Devin Mi glanced at Chief registrar. The bearded Chief registrar felt helpless. The memory of the county magistrate was probably hopeless.

Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!

"Then my subordinates will capture and kill that monster in Changyuan Street tonight!"
