Huang Dan frowned. Liu Chu practiced martial arts all year round and was used to using knives. There should be calluses on the palm of his hand, but the palm of this hand was smooth.

He turned his head, and through his blurred vision, he saw that the owner of the hand was a scholar.

Scholar squatted down, looked at the young man at the same level, and asked softly, “Eldest Young Master, what’s wrong with you?”

Huang Dan’s face was full of tears, he couldn’t open his injured eye, he could only look at the scholar with the uninjured eye, this place is quite secluded, when did the other party come?

Scholar saw tears falling from the young man’s eyes, dripping down one by one, and he swallowed, “The teacher asked me to deliver a copybook to Master Zhou. It’s not far from here. I happened to pass by and saw that it was the Eldest Young Master. I just wanted greet you.”

“When I got closer, I realized that the Eldest Young Master was crying.” He took out a handkerchief and handed it over, “Hurry up and wipe your face.”

Huang Dan took it, but wiped his nose without wiping his face.

Scholar asked with concern, “Eldest Young Master, I think you seem to be very uncomfortable, do you want me to take you to see a doctor?”

Huang Dan said there was no need, and he said in his heart, “Mr. System, this scholar swallowed his saliva last time he saw me, and he did the same thing just now. Is he hungry?”

System, “I feel that the action of swallowing saliva has many meanings. It can be greedy for beauty, it can be a simple dry mouth, an instinctive reaction, or it can be a manifestation of nervousness.”

Huang Dan, “Mr. System, you say so much, it’s same as if you didn’t say anything.”

System,”……”

Huang Dan flipped through the memory of the original owner. This scholar was not from the Song family, but was picked up by the original owner’s uncle many years ago.

The original owner was held in the palm of the hand by the old lady, and had nothing to do with the branches of the Song family.

Scholar asked, “Eldest Young Master, do you feel better?”

Huang Dan said, “Well, thank you.”

Scholar stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve, “I learned a little from my uncle at home, young master, would you like to let me see your eyes?”

Huang Dan said, “Okay.”

He slowly opened that eye a slit, and tears kept gushing out of his eyes.

Scholar moved closer, frowned and said, “It’s very red.”

Huang Dan blinked, tears welling up in his eyes.

Scholar licked his lips and said softly, “Eldest Young Master, you have been crying all the time, it must be very painful.”

Huang Dan heard the sound of swallowing saliva, he looked down and understood.

Scholar noticed the young man’s gaze, his handsome face was blushed, and his ears were red, “Eldest Young Master, I…”

Suddenly a voice came from behind, “What are you doing?”

Scholar was frightened and left hastily.

Liu Chu came over and put one hand behind his back, “Young Master Song, I can’t see that you still have that habit.”

Huang Dan wiped away tears, “What kind?”

Liu Chu scoffed.

Huang Dan said, “You misunderstood, that was my didi just now.”

Liu Chu said, “Didi who is not related by blood.”

Huang Dan, “……” is quite clear.

He raised his head, “Chief Liu, are you hiding something behind?”

Liu Chu took out one hand.

Huang Dan said, “You should stretch out both hands.”

Liu Chu’s forehead twitched, and he didn’t hide anymore, and directly threw the medicine bottle in his hand to him.

Huang Dan said, “Thank you.”

He looked at the words on the medicine bottle, put a drop in his eyes, he wanted to cry because of the coolness, why does it feel like eye drops?

Liu Chu was condescending, “What’s going on with you at that time?”

Huang Dan put the lid on the medicine bottle. He accidentally found a red string around the man’s neck. He wanted to see what was hanging there, but he underestimated the perception of a martial artist.

“I’m a little thirsty, and I want you to accompany me to the river.”

Liu Chu looked crazy, “If you want to drink water, can’t you go by yourself, do you need someone to accompany you?”

Huang Dan said, “The murderer has not been caught, so it’s not safe.”

Liu Chu looked at the young man contemptuously, “Don’t you have several attendants, let them accompany you.”

Huang Dan sniffed and said, “They are not as powerful as you.”

Liu Chu smacked his lips, “That flattery is pretty good.”

Huang Dan said, “Then can you accompany me?”

Liu Chu glanced at the young man, his eyes were red, as was his face and nose, as if he had been wronged so much, he said pitifully, “Stay here.”

Huang Dan act accordingly, too lazy to walk.

Not long after, Liu Chu came back with a lotus leaf, “Drink, Eldest Young Master.”

Huang Dan held the lotus leaf, lifted it a little, and slowly brought it to his mouth, gulping down the water into his stomach.

Liu Chu saw water overflowing from the corners of the young man’s lips, dripping down his neck, and a small piece of his shirt was wet. He frowned, “It’s so dirty.”

Huang Dan choked, he coughed a few times, “What?”

Liu Chu didn’t say anything, and threw the handkerchief in his pocket on him.

At the end of the day, Huang Dan was so irritated by Liu Chu strolling that he went back to bed and fell asleep.

Liu Chu was also sleepy at first, but Old Feng came to him suddenly, travel-stained, with a somewhat clear and dignified expression, “Xiao Liu, I missed a phenomenon, Boss Zhang’s face is dry, and there is no blood left, seems to have been dead for a long time, not that night.”

After a brief silence, Liu Chu and him said in unison, “It wasn’t Boss Zhang who appeared that day!”

The two who had known each other for many years took a breath and fell silent.

It’s not Boss Zhang, who is that? A demon in human skin? Or is it a demon that changed into the appearance of Boss Zhang? And why put Boss Zhang’s body in the restaurant?

It can’t be for fun at all.

Liu Chu said, “That night I took Si Mao and they searched several times inside and outside the restaurant, even the alley behind the restaurant, and they didn’t find any clues. How did the other party escape from under our noses?”

He raised his eyes, “No one has answer.”

“Speaking of bad things, I’m not good at investigating cases. As far as I’m concerned, several people that night were suspected.” Old Feng said, “You be careful.”

Liu Chu, “Um.”

Old Feng said, “I heard that Young Master Song is a big guy who has western knowledge. You can build a good relationship with him and get the support of the Song family, which is good for you.”

Liu Chu is talking about it, to make a good relationship? how to spell? “His suspicion is still there.”

Old Feng said, “Keep an eye on it, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Liu Chu frowned, “He cries all the time, I’m really annoyed to see him.”

Old Feng cast a look full of deep meaning, “If you don’t care, you won’t be annoyed. If you are annoyed, you are the one who cares.”

Liu Chu’s expression changed, “What nonsense.”

He picked up the knife, “I’ll go to Boss Zhang’s house, it’s getting late, you can leave tomorrow.”

Boss Zhang’s home is on West Street, two alleys away from the pharmacy.

Liu Chu went there alone, without any subordinates. Boss Zhang’s parents invited him to the main room, and politely served tea, “Chief Liu, have you caught the murderer who killed my son?”

Liu Chu looked at the coffin in the main room, and asked instead, “During this time, what happened to Boss Zhang?”

Boss Zhang’s parents thought about it and said nothing.

Liu Chu said, “Think about it again, this matter is very important for us to solve the case.”

Boss Zhang’s parents began to think that, they were old and their memory was not very good, so it was easy to forget this and that.

After Liu Chu drank a cup of tea, he thought he was going to run for nothing tonight, when he heard Boss Zhang talk about something, saying that two months ago, Boss Zhang didn’t come back for a few days.

He and his wife looked at each other, “I can’t remember exactly when.”

Liu Chu put down the teacup, “Why didn’t you report the case then?”

Old father was embarrassed.

Liu Chu understood that the boss didn’t have a woman to warm the bed, he had such a big medicine shop, he didn’t worry about food and clothing, he just played outside, besides Boss Dai, he also had a lot of fondness in countryside.

Where the both elder is happy when their son is, so it is not surprising.

Liu Chu sat for a while and left.

A few days later, some villagers stumbled down from Yueshan Mountain, saying that they saw Boss Zhang in the mountain.

This incident spread quickly, causing great panic in people’s hearts. Didn’t the boss die in the restaurant? With only a head and a skeleton left, how can it still appear alive?

This is not a corpse scam, there is no corpse to scam, this is hell.

When Huang Dan heard about it, he was feeding the fish in the pavilion. He stopped the two little maids who hadn’t seen him and were secretly chewing their tongues, and asked them to explain the matter in more detail.

The two little maids were startled, their faces turned pale, and they faltered and said everything they had heard.

Huang Dan couldn’t stay any longer, so he rushed to find the old lady, and went to Liu Chu’s place if the application was approved.

Liu Chu was talking with Old Feng, and they seemed to have just received the news that there was a Boss Zhang lying in the coffin, and there was another one in the mountain.

Huang Dan hid in the corner, cruelly took out 50 points from the few remaining points to trade with Mr. System, and heard the conversation between Liu Chu and Old Feng, half of which was speculation, half of which was confirmed, what he learned The amount of information is too large, and it took a long time to react.

Boss Zhang died two months ago.

The “Boss Zhang” who appeared in people’s field of vision during this period were all demons.

That demon can transform into an ordinary person, blending into the crowd, even relatives can’t see it, there should be conditions for it to transform into a human form, such as eating human flesh and drinking human blood.

That night, demon deliberately put Boss Zhang’s body into the restaurant, most likely to get the gentry in the town involved and want to watch a big show.

Huang Dan frowned, recalling that when he entered the wing room, “Boss Zhang” was drinking, and he was still talking and laughing with the other party, which made his hair stand on end.

Who would have thought that sitting opposite him was a demon wearing a human skin.

Huang Dan opened his eyes, so the demon is now Boss Zhang? “Mr. System, I will fill in the answer now.”

After he finished speaking, a task screen of “Guess who I am” appeared in front of him.

Without delay, Huang Dan was afraid that the demon would turn into someone else, so he hurriedly filled in the name of Boss Zhang at the bottom of the task screen.

System, “Error.”

Huang Dan was startled, “Why?”

System, “Boss Zhang is not a demon.”

Huang Dan gasped.

No, Boss Zhang is dead and reappeared on the mountain, what is it if it is not a demon?

His eyelids twitched, unless… Boss Zhang is not dead.

The corpse in the restaurant was someone else’s body. The demon had some plan to put the body into Boss Zhang’s wing on purpose, to create the illusion of Boss Zhang’s tragic death, and then took the real Boss Zhang away.

What the villagers saw in the mountains was actually him, and he was still alive.

But the demon will not let Boss Zhang go down the mountain.

Perhaps letting the villagers see Boss Zhang was done on purpose by the demon.

Inference like this can explain why Boss Zhang is not a demon, and the answer is incorrect.

System said, “Mr. Huang, you only have one last chance left. If you answer wrong again, the mission will fail. I don’t know what you will face.”

Huang Dan’s heart was heavy, “I know.”

He sighed, but he was still impulsive, and it was useless to regret it. He would do it again, and without accident, he would still do the same.

The ghost knows that there are so many tricks in it.

Huang Dan wiped his face, calmly went to Boss Zhang’s house.

The identity of the Eldest Young Master of the Song family is easy to use anywhere. Huang Dan has greeted Boss Zhang’s parents. Judging by the appearance of the two elders, they don’t know anything about the mountains.

The first seven days have not passed, and the coffin is still in the main room.

Huang Dan asked the elders for permission, he went to the coffin and bent down to look at it.

The top-quality coffin was covered with a layer of silk and satin, and a shriveled head and a skeleton were placed on it. Even though the lid was not closed, it was always open to the outside, and the unpleasant smell was still very strong.

It smelled like a rat that had been dead for a long time, not just one or two rats, but a whole room.

Huang Dan held his breath, the head in the coffin was deflated, his facial features would not be exactly the same as before, if he didn’t know the inside story, he would really think it was Boss Zhang.

Whose head is this?

Huang Dan went to look at the skeleton in the coffin again. Mr. Feng had a few tricks. If the skeletons were too different, he would definitely notice.

This shows that the owner of the skeleton in front of Huang Dan is similar in figure to Boss Zhang.

If Huang Dan can’t figure it out, he won’t solve the case.

Although Yueshan Town is not small, no matter whether it is a big event or a small matter, as long as people know about it, there will be an uproar.

If Huang Dan tells Liu Chu these things and asks the other party to investigate, he should be able to find out some things, for example, who looks similar to Boss Zhang and has a similar body shape.

If so, the head and skeleton in the coffin should belong to that person.

Just don’t know whether Liu Chu believes it or not.

After all, he had no evidence and relied on his mouth.

If Liu Chu not only doesn’t believe it, but also deepens his suspicion of him, it will be troublesome.

Taking a breath suddenly, Huang Dan’s head hurt from the stench, and he left the coffin.

Demons are hard to find, but smart and scheming ones are even harder to find.

Huang Dan left Boss Zhang’s house and went to look for Liu Chu again, but the other party was not there. He inquired about the other party’s whereabouts from the people in the inn, and hurried back home.

The original owner had a gun, which was given by a friend for his birthday one year when he was abroad. It should be useful in critical times.

Liu Chu gathered dozens of strong men, some were at the foot of the mountain, and some went into the mountain with him.

Everyone is scared.

They still don’t know whether Boss Zhang in the mountains is a ghost or a demon, or something else. The fear brought by the unknown is incalculable.

“Chief Liu, we are only human beings, we cannot fight against demons and ghosts.”

Others chimed in, “That’s right!”

Some people were too scared to stay any longer, yelling loudly that they wanted to go back, and even swearing, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Liu Chu said, “The demon is not omnipotent, otherwise it wouldn’t be hiding in the mountains.”

Everyone whispered to each other, which made sense, but they still didn’t want to go. What if they were unlucky and bumped into “Boss Zhang”?

They can only wait to die.

Liu Chu waved his hand to prevent the comrades from using force to threaten them. These people didn’t realize that the danger had already come and was right beside them.

“Everyone, I’m not from Yueshan Town, but you are.” Liu Chu said with a smile, “Your family and friends live in the town, if you don’t come to guard, who will guard?”

He pointed to himself, “Are you counting on me?”

Then Liu Chu pointed to several brothers including Si Mao, “Or them?”

Si Mao and the others all showed mocking expressions.

The noise stopped, and all the gentlemen present were more or less embarrassed when they heard these words.

“Chief Liu, it’s not that we’re afraid of death, it’s that we can’t do what we want.”

Liu Chu still smiled, “You are human, and so are my comrades and me. Everyone here is flesh and blood, no one is an exception.”

The curvature of his lips converges, and he doesn’t say another word.

Dozens of men whispered, and after a while, they gritted their teeth and agreed.

“Remember what I said, call the police whenever there is a situation.”

Liu Chu looked up, “Let’s go.”

Everyone went into the mountain together according to the previous assignment.

At this moment, a carriage came towards this side. From the appearance of the carriage, it could be seen that the carriage belonged to a rich family.

Liu Chu squinted his eyes and knew who was coming.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a white hand lifted the curtain, and a young man jumped out, holding a wooden box in his arms, “I will go up the mountain with you.”

Liu Chu raised his eyebrows, “What can you do?”

Huang Dan said, “I have a gun.”

Liu Chu looked at the wooden box in the young man’s arms, and suspected that he will be killed by the demon before the box was opened. The reason was that there were big guys from the West who were the most aggressive. In order to protect themselves, who would the demon beat if he didn’t beat him?

“Follow me.”

Huang Dan let out a sigh of relief, luckily he caught up.

There are many shrubs in the mountains, criss-crossed trees and vines, the branches are grotesquely shaped and twisted, and there are countless broken stones on the ground, which will cause you to fall if you are not careful.

Huang Dan followed Liu Chu all the way, only he knew that Boss Zhang was Boss Zhang, and there was a demon in the mountain.

That demon must be unable to transform into a human form to go to the town due to some restrictions and conditions, so it hid in the mountains, waiting for the opportunity.

Huang Dan thinks so.

Whether it is true or not can only be determined after catching the demon.

Liu Chu’s foot was stepped on, and he turned his head with angry eyes.

Huang Dan said, “I’m sorry.”

After a while, Liu Chu’s foot was stepped on again, and he turned his head sullenly, “Young Master Song, if you like the shoes on my feet, just say so, and I will deliver them to your house in person when the business is done.”

Huang Dan said in a low voice, “I’m nervous.”

Liu Chu said, “I didn’t see it.”

Huang Dan, “…”

The big guy didn’t find Boss Zhang, but a few villagers found a watch in a cave.

The watch was only known by Huang Dan, it was an imported product, most people could not buy it if they had money, they needed someone from abroad to do it, when he was drinking with Boss Zhang in the restaurant that night, he saw the watch on his hand.

Liu Chu also had an impression.

When they discussed arranging manned patrols for the security of the town, Boss Zhang seemed to be showing off and dialed his watch from time to time.

Without the presence of Boss Zhang, people’s panic not only did not decrease, but increased. The group of people ran down the mountain quickly, as if something was chasing after them.

Huang Dan said, “Chief Liu, I have something to tell you.”

Liu Chu held the watch, “I’ll talk about it later, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense right now.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s Boss Zhang’s matter.”

Liu Chu looked up, “Say.”

Huang Dan has to shared with the man what he was certain of, what he doubted, and what he guessed. He pointed at the man and drew a crucial stroke for his mission.

Before Liu Chu could figure it out, he heard Si Mao’s ghostly cry, “Boss, it’s not good, something serious happened!”

It turned out that the people in the town thought Boss Zhang’s house was unlucky, so they went to his house to pour chicken blood, dog blood, and posted a lot of yellow talismans.

When Huang Dan and Liu Chu arrived there, the scene was chaotic.

Boss Zhang’s old father was trying to stop them, but he was pushed to the ground by the emotional crowd, and several people stepped on him before they could get a firm footing.

Liu Chu roared, “Come out!”

Huang Dan saw the old man struggling to get up, and was pushed to the ground again by the crowd, bleeding from his head, lying on the ground, motionless.

Liu Chu took the wooden box from Huang Dan’s hand, opened it, held the gun, and pointed it at the sky.

After a bang, the out-of-control crowd fell silent.
