Huang Dan wants to see the old lady.

If she was really frightened, as a grandson, he should comfort her.

If not, he has something to do anyway.

Liu Chu called Huang Dan to stop, and said calmly, “Young Master Song, if I’m not mistaken, when Boss Zhang comes out of the west wing at night, you were 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.”

Huang Dan, “……”

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, “Chief 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, have you anything to say?”

Huang Dan said, “No.”

It was the first time Liu Chu met someone so uncooperative, he didn’t show any expression, “Young 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, can you tell me, what did you talk about?”

Huang Dan turned his head, “Si Mao, am I a criminal?”

Suddenly being called by name, Si Mao was a little stunned, “No, not at all.”

Huang Dan said, “Then can I go back to sleep now?”

Si Mao continued to be confused, “Okay take…….rest”

He left before the word “rest” came out.

“Young Master Song knows my name?” Si Mao hahahaha, “Boss, Young Master Song actually knows… Boss, are you okay?”

Liu Chu showed his white teeth, “Very good.”

Si Mao shivered, “Boss, Boss, there have been murders 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 Madam’s authority is very high. 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, “Both eyes.”

He asked the comrades, “You have seen it too, right?”

Several other people shook their heads, saying they didn’t see it, they didn’t see anything.

“……”

Si Mao 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 hurry up and be back in one 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 Yuan Shi was chanting scriptures, with a string of gloden turquoise stone rosary in her left hand, “Ah Wang, it’s so late, why didn’t you go to bed?”

Huang Dan said, “I can’t sleep.”

Song Yuan Shi paused for a moment when she rotate the rosary, “What’s wrong?”

Huang Dan walked over and sat next to the old lady, “Grandma, Boss Zhang died too horribly.”

Song Yuan Shi lowered her eyelids and continued to chant sutras.

Huang Dan turned his head to look, the old lady had changed her clothes before coming out, she is wearing a black collar embroidered robe with golden dark patterns, her hair is 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.

“Ah Wang.”

A voice sounded in his ear, and Huang Dan came back to his senses, “Grandma, did you call me?”

Song Yuan Shi sighed, “You can sleep here with grandma.”

Huang Dan asked, “What about you, grandma?”

Song Yuan Shi said, “Grandma is going to chant scriptures tonight.”

Huang Dan said, “Will you chant it all night?”

Song Yuan Shi didn’t answer anymore, but chant the scriptures from her mouth.

Huang Dan listened for a while then he couldn’t hear anything. He started to feel sleepy, and after one yawn, another yawn, tears came out.

Right!

Huang Dan suddenly remembered that there was a piece of information mentioned in the ancient book.

The demon will not die no matter how much blood it shed, but it cannot shed tears. Every tear it shed will reduce its cultivation base by a hundred 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 Head Master from the private school, Boss Dai from the restaurant, Ye Lan’s father, and Liu Chu.

Who to start with first?

Huang Dan look from the corner of his 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 checked it out for you, and there is a product that meets your requirements.”

Huang Dan said, “What is it called?”

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 Yuan Shi heard the crying, she opened 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 Yuan Shi 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 didn’t have any tears. His heart skipped a beat and he moved his butt to the side.

“Mr. System, old lady is a demon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the task screen appeared. Like the first world, there was 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 correct 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 Yuan Shi patted his grandson on the back, “Okay, Ah Wang, you’ve grown up, a man, why are you crying like this.”

Huang Dan hurriedly asked Mr. System to remove all the surrounding gas for him. He killed 0 enemies, and was already dead.

Seeing that her grandson stopped crying, Song Yuan Shi shook her head, her tone was reproachful, but her eyes were loving, “It’s not grandma telling you off, But what were you going to do in that kind of scene? And scared yourself.”

Huang Dan gasped, observed the old lady secretly, and distanced himself, “I had an acquaintance with Boss Zhang and he died, I should go and see.”

Song Yuan Shi said, “Person is already dead, who know if you have gone or not.”

Huang Dan was about to speak when there were footsteps outside the door. He stopped, wiped his tears and opened the door to see that it was Head Master Zhao.

Covering the door with his backhand, Huang Dan said, “Teacher.”

Head Master Zhao was startled, “Why are you crying like this?”

Huang Dan said, “I just feel that life is impermanent and fragile.”

Head Master Zhao, “……”

Huang Dan asked, “Teacher, do you need something?”

“It’s nothing, just walking around.” Head Master Zhao coughed, “Um… is your grandma asleep?”

“Grandma is chanting scriptures.” Huang Dan said, “Teacher, do you want to come in and have a look?”

Head Master 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, these two old people 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 a clear 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, but nothing was found.

The flesh and skin of an adult man if really cut off, 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. 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, 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.

Huang Dan 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, “Young 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 don’t know if he was angry, Si Mao 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 Si Mao, 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 that time, and we didn’t know him… Oh, I really didn’t mean that, forget it, I won’t talk.”

Si Mao has leave for Ping’an Village, but he absolutely didn’t want to go, “Good comrade, please speak up, the case of stealing chickens will surely fall into your hands.”

“……”

The skinny boy said, “I don’t feel panicked.”

His voice was extremely low, “It’s good to know that there is a murderer. I am afraid that there will be no murderer, you know what I mean?”

Si Mao shook his head, “I don’t understand.”

The skinny boy also shook his head, “You have a big head. Even if it rains heavily on your head, you don’t have to worry, it’s already full of water.”

Si Mao gave him a supercilious look.

Anyway, the murderer is among those few. If the fire cannot be covered with paper, 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.”

Si Mao was annoyed, “Go away, it’s not all your fault that you’re free to ask me for nonsense?”

He ran out the door, stopped again, and swished to hide behind a sign.

Huang Dan said to the man in front of him, “Chief Liu, please step aside.”

Liu Chu swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, “Eldest Young Master Song, my subordinates should have told you, 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 hold 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, also need two deep-fried dough sticks from Mr. Chen’s house on South Street. I want another bowl of soybean juice.”

Liu Chu twitched, “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?”

Si Mao smiled playfully, “Boss, I think, look, the owner of this piece is a squire in the town. Once the news of his accident is released, the big households will definitely mess up. Maybe his medicine shop is not stable. At this time, 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, just went to see the man circling the teacup, “Chief 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, or Boss Zhang. I personally think that human can’t do it.”

Liu Chu threw the teacup aside, raised his eyelids, and said with great interest, “Humans can’t do it, so what can 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, “Young 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 to induce people’s hearts.”

Huang Dan, “……”

Liu Chu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and sipped it again, 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 didn’t have many points left. He had a sense of crisis.

Even though he already save some but 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.

Man’s both eyes were a little red, and the corners of the eyes were wet and glistening.

Huang Dan said, “You cried.”

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, “Young Master Song, please stay away from me.”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

He pulled away a chair and sat across from the man.

“……”

Liu Chu’s forehead was bulging with blue veins, did Eldest Young Master studied too much in abroad and ruined his brain?

Huang Dan caught a tear slowly falling from the corner of the man’s eye, and his gaze 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, “Young 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, “You really can’t stay abroad. Young Master Song can’t understand people’s language after going there.”

Huang Dan frowned, “Chief Liu, you let go my hand.”

“Why, weren’t you quite capable just now?”

Liu Chu sneered, “I told 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 woman. 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. It won’t bring anything good if you do this with me again, understand?”

Huang Dan cried, and said hoarsely, “You are hurting 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, “Sim Mao!”

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 pitifully, and 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 Head Master Zhao knew about the ancient book, and it seemed that the old lady knew about it, as well as the scholar.

Demon must have heard about it, and it is very likely that in order to get rid of the suspicion, he 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 she 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.

Head Master Zhao 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 very haggard, and he hadn’t recovered from the scene of Boss Zhang’s death.

Song Yuan Shi leaned on crutches, “Chief Liu, we all live in the town. If you have any questions, you can come and ask us 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 his knife first.

Father Ye stared over, “Liu Chu, you are just a small Chief, 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 worse than animals. “

He leaned back a little 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 her 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 Head Master Zhao, he was muttering about bad luck, bad luck, he might as well have slept at home last night. Boss Dai is missing, who didn’t come down and was lying in her 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 then everyone can leave.”

Father Ye took a deep breath. At this age, he should not be impulsive and reckless, not knowing right from wrong, “When will your friend come?”

Liu Chu looked at his pocket watch, “coming soon.”
