Boss Zhang was very confused. He found that everyone in the town was afraid of him. Everyone who saw him ran away as if they had seen a ghost. Even one of his long-time friends turned a blind eye to him and wanted to flee in a hurry, but was grabbed by Boss Zhang.

“Brother Li, what’s going on in this town today, is there something wrong?”

“ah!–”

The man held by him was very panicked, his eyes widened, and he said with cold sweat, “No…no, Brother Zhang, let’s talk about it another day.”

As he spoke, he shook off Boss Zhang’s hand and left as if fleeing.

Seeing the back of his old friend leaving quickly, Boss Zhang became more and more puzzled. He endured the hunger and said to himself, “What happened to the people in this town? Could it be that something happened during the few days I left? What’s the matter?”

Everyone had already fled. Looking at the deserted street, Boss Zhang became worried and couldn’t find anyone to ask.

At this moment, Boss Zhang was suddenly overjoyed, because he saw a large group of people walking towards him, he quickly greeted them with a smile, and asked loudly, “Everyone, is there something wrong? So many people are running away?”

Boss Zhang thought it was a little funny, what happened to that group of people just now, they ran away like frightened monkeys, as if something deadly was chasing them.

What made him feel relieved was that these people in front of him did not run away, and they were getting closer and closer to him. Finally, he saw their faces clearly. They were all old neighbors for many years, and they were very familiar.

But facing Boss Zhang’s question, no one in the crowd answered him, not only did he not get answer, he didn’t even receive a word of courtesy from the neighbors.

Boss Zhang gradually felt something was wrong. These people were his old neighbors, but their expressions made him feel so strange. From their indifferent expressions, Boss Zhang felt a trace of fear, anger, hatred, and there is a hint of madness.

It wasn’t until he got closer that Boss Zhang realized that these people were not empty-handed, they were holding poles or sticks, and some of them were obviously holding bamboo poles for drying clothes.

“You……”

Boss Zhang didn’t know why, but he suddenly became flustered for no reason, and an unknown premonition weighed on his heart.

The crowd finally stopped, none of them spoke, but you looked at me and I looked at you, as if they were all waiting for others to do something first because of some kind of fear.

At this moment, Boss Zhang had already seen that this group of people were all coming for him, the blood on his face disappeared, he didn’t dare to stay any longer, he just wanted to escape home and ask what happened.

Although the crowd blocked his way home, when Boss Zhang shrank and tried to squeeze past, they scrambled to get out of the way.

Some slow-moving people shivered with fright and rushed out in a panic. Since the street is not wide enough, it can’t accommodate so many people. The screams and wailing were heard all of a sudden, and the crowd fell into chaos.

Boss Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace, wanting to take the opportunity to pass through the crowd, and then just as he was about to walk out of the crowd, someone yelled, “Don’t let him run away, he’s a demon!”

Someone echoed, “Yes! If we let him run away today, will we have a stable life in the future?”

An aunt with a broken voice in the crowd yelled, “Oh, my Er Niu died so badly. He was the one who killed him with thousand stabs in front of me. I will fight him.”

Randomly, someone questioned in a low voice, “Hey, third aunt, didn’t your Er Niu die from drinking alcohol?”

“You know the hell, if it wasn’t for this demon in front of you that made people afraid and panic, my family’s Er Niu is so honest, would he go to drink all day long?”

“……”

Someone took the lead, and there was a continuous stream of shouting and beating. Everyone forgot their fear for a while, and surrounded Boss Zhang again.

Boss Zhang’s face was ashen, and his heart was extremely terrified. He didn’t know how these timid and fearful people would become so violent, and even regarded him as a demon, shouting to beat him to death.

But I am obviously a person, and I have always treated these people well, why do they hate me so much, want me to die so eagerly, and don’t even give myself a chance to defend myself.

Boss Zhang couldn’t figure it out, he squeezed out a smile, and smiled as gently as possible, “What demon, you got it wrong, I’m human.”

But Boss Zhang’s smile at this time, in the eyes of everyone, looked even more terrifying.

“Bang!”

Boss Zhang suffered a sudden blow to the back of the head, his vision went dark, and he knelt down on the ground.

Before he had time to scream, he saw the crowd rushing towards him, wooden sticks, poles, clothes poles… all greeted him.

These people are crazy.

Boss Zhang didn’t even have a chance to fight back. He screamed in pain at the beginning, begged for mercy while struggling, and then became numb. It took only a few breaths.

There was a heart-piercing cry from the crowd. Father Zhang didn’t know where the energy came from, he squeezed through the crowd and rushed over. He bent his back and spread his thin arms, trying to stop everyone from hurting his son.

But everyone ignored Father Zhang, and Father Zhang was knocked down in an instant.

The father and son fell in a pool of blood, dying.

This is what Liu Chu saw when he brought men over.

With a curse, Liu Chu grabbed a person who was trying to insert a bamboo pole into Boss Zhang’s chest, and threw him away vigorously.

The people around fell into a state of dead silence, the blood on the ground was red, Boss Zhang did not show his original shape, he was really a human, not a demon.

How so?

Boss Zhang was obviously dead, why is he alive again? Where is the demon?

People dropped things in their hands and kept shaking.

Huang Dan, who came from behind Liu Chu, looked at those people on the street, and then at the father and son on the ground, his whole body felt cold.

He should complete the task as soon as possible, this era is much more terrifying than the countryside.

At this moment, only Huang Dan could keep up with the demon’s routine.

Boss Zhang and his father were sent to the doctor for treatment.

The doctor said that Boss Zhang was dying.

Liu Chu supported Boss Zhang’s shoulders, lifted him up, and shouted a few times.

Boss Zhang breathed intermittently, “Liu…Chief Liu…I…I…”

Liu Chu knew what he wanted to say, “You are a human, not a demon, it’s the people in the town who made a mistake.”

Boss Zhang grabbed Liu Chu’s sleeve, “Mistake…they…they…will be report…report…”

The latter words were replaced by a mouthful of blood.

Liu Chu wiped off the blood with his sleeve, “What happened to the head and skeleton in your room that night?”

Boss Zhang kept coughing up blood, saying he only saw it when he returned to the wing room after he separated from the others.

Liu Chu frowned, that is to say, when they were discussing things, someone took the opportunity to put the head and skeleton in.

Simao and the others were all together at the time, and they could testify to each other that there was only one chef incharge of cooking in the restaurant.

That chef is the Boss Dai’s person.

Liu Chu asked, “Why didn’t you call someone at that time?”

Boss Zhang coughed up blood again, mixed with blood clots, and there was a ho-ho sound in his throat, “I… I opened the door to go out… I saw a person standing at the door…”

Liu Chu’s eyes narrowed, “Who?”

Boss Zhang shook his head, saying that the corridor was dark, he couldn’t see it clearly, and only smelled a strange smell.

Liu Chu asked, “Is there anything else?”

Boss Zhang’s eyes suddenly opened, “Yes…yes…yes…”

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Liu Chu’s chest was covered with blood. He sat on the chair and didn’t move for a long time.

Simao came in and said, “Boss, Boss Zhang is dead.”

Liu Chu said, “Yes, he is dead.”

He pursed his lips and smiled ironically, “It’s not that he died at the hands of a demon, but at the hands of his own kind.”

Si Mao usually talks a lot and has a sharp tongue, but now he is like a mute, not knowing what to say.

Liu Chu asked Simao to arrange Boss Zhang’s funeral. He went to South Street and asked about the chef of the restaurant.

The chef lamented what happened on the street with his old mother at home, other person did not participate and watched from afar.

Liu Chu went, didn’t drink a sip of tea, and cut straight to the point.

The chef’s answer was still the same as before when the incident happened, “I went to bed after I finished my work.”

Liu Chu asked about Boss Dai, “You have worked in the restaurant for more than five years, what kind of person do you think Boss Dai is?”

“Smart and exquisite.”

The cook said, “The Boss is capable than a man.”

Liu Chu said, “Indeed, she is capable of supporting such a large restaurant by herself.”

The chef heed that Liu Chu thought so too, so he said something while talking.

“I heard from the waiters in front of me that Boss Dai didn’t know what happened a while ago, and she kept forgetting things.”

Liu Chu joked, “When a woman gets older, she will have some symptoms.”

The chef disagreed, “Chief Liu, my Boss is very young.”

“It’s true, Boss Dai’s charm is obvious to all.” Liu Chu rubbed his chin, “What’s going on?”

The chef said he didn’t know, very strange.

Liu Chu left the chef’s house to sort out the relevant content of the case.

At that time, Boss Dai gave him a clue, saying that she had seen the Old Madam in the corridor.

Old Madam flatly denied it.

Between the two of them, one is lying.

Now, doubts point to Boss Dai.

Liu Chu went to Boss Dai.

Boss Dai’s residence is very secluded and unique.

The maid took Liu Chu to the Spring Garden.

Boss Dai was admiring the flowers in the garden, and her body was still sprayed with perfume, which was strong and pungent.

“I heard that Boss Zhang is dead.”

Liu Chu sat down at the stone table, “Yes.”

Boss Dai showed uneasiness, “At the beginning, the demon found out about our discussion of capital contribution, so it took Boss Zhang away and gave us a warning.”

She shook her handkerchief, “Oh, let me tell you, Chief Liu, I regret it to death.”

“If I knew it, I wouldn’t let you come to my restaurant. I’m afraid that demons will come to me.”

Liu Chu said, “Why is Boss Dai so sure he is a demon?”

“That’s what everyone said.”

Boss Dai leaned into Liu Chu’s arms, “Chief Liu, you have to protect me.”

Liu Chu straightened the woman up, “Boss Dai runs such a big restaurant with her own hands, and her methods are extraordinary, and her subordinates must be capable and talented, so she doesn’t need a small chief police.”

Boss Dai’s eyes are seductive, “No one can compare to you.”

Liu Chu asked casually, “Does Boss Dai have a good memory?”

Boss Dai laughed brightly and charmingly, “It’s not that I’m talking big, my memory can’t be better. I remember everything that happened more than ten or twenty years ago very clearly.”

Chief Liu was so vomited by the woman’s smell, “You are not curious, if Boss Zhang came back alive, who owns the bones of the restaurant?”

Boss Dai said, “Chief Liu is really joking. I’m just a restaurant owner. I don’t know how to solve the case.”

The blue embroidered cheongsam she was wearing was split high, her waist was slightly twisted, and she changed into a charming sitting posture, her legs were exposed, which could kill people.

“You came here because you miss me, didn’t you?”

Liu Chu pinched the woman’s face, the chin were smooth, he thought of the young master.

They were all smooth, but he didn’t have the urge to touch the face in front of him again.

Liu Chu frowned and looked slightly stunned.

He seemed to have encountered something puzzling and couldn’t figure it out.

While the man was in a daze, Boss Dai put her arms around his neck and blew into his ear.

“Chief Liu, can you stay here?”

Liu Chu pulled off the arm on the shoulder like a dirty thing, “Boss Dai, please respect yourself.”

Boss Dai’s eyes and brows are no longer charming, “If you are not interested in me, then what are you doing here?”

Liu Chu patted his shoulder, “The skeleton was found in your restaurant. Do you think you can stay out of it and sit back and relax?”

Boss Dai turned cold and called the maidservant, “Xiang’er, see off the guests!”

If she doesn’t issue a eviction order, Liu Chu won’t stay too long either.

After going out, Liu Chu’s breathing was smooth, and the two suspects were both women.

But women are the hardest to deal with.

Not long after Boss Zhang died, Father Zhang also take road to yellow river to find his son.

People lived as usual, customers came in and out of the shops, the hawkers shouted one after another, but the town was shrouded in a lingering haze.

No one mentioned Boss Zhang again.

Everyone in the town would come across an old woman, Boss Zhang’s mother, who wandered around the street every day, nagging, and would not respond to anyone who called her.

Said she was crazy.

Huang Dan saw the old woman once, but he couldn’t hear the nagging.

The old woman seemed to have thought of leaving the town. After the death of her husband and son, whether the people in the town died or lived had nothing to do with her.

Huang Dan followed for a while, and when he saw that the old woman was about to fall, he ran over to help her.

The old woman didn’t look back, and continued to walk forward without stopping.

Huang Dan felt a chill creeping up his ankles, instantly condensed into ice skates, and plunged into his heart vigorously.

When he came back to his senses, the old woman had disappeared from his field of vision.

The street is still extremely lively and bustling, with adults talking and laughing, and children laughing and playing.

Everything was so peaceful and simple, but Huang Dan felt more and more panicked.

He left East Street, intentionally bypassing the place where Boss Zhang and his old father were lying in a pool of blood.

And that place is the best location on the street. Usually every morning, there are hawkers fighting for it, and this time is no exception.

Those who snatched that lot were snack sellers, yelling there.

Huang Dan recognized that the peddler was the one who wanted to stab the Boss Zhang’s chest with a bamboo pole that day.

If Liu Chu came later, Boss Zhang and his father would both be stabbed into a honeycomb.

Huang Dan couldn’t help but take a second look, the other party’s mentality is terrible.

He left East Street behind, and when he passed by Ye Mansion, he hesitated for a moment then stepped in.

In the hall, Father Ye was arguing with Bai Ying for some reason, and the noise stopped when someone came to report it.

Bai Ying went out with her son in her arms.

Huang Dan glanced at Baiying from the corner of his eye, and heard Father Ye’s voice, “Nephew, sit down.”

The servants left after serving tea, and the hall became quiet.

Huang Dan blew on the tea, waiting for Father Ye to speak first.

Father Ye sighed, “The town is different from before.”

“My nephew has heard about Boss Zhang, right?”

Huang Dan said, “I was on the scene.”

Father Ye was surprised, and sighed again, “People’s hearts are unpredictable.”

He groaned, with regret and self-blame on his face, “I shouldn’t have called Lanlan back.”

Huang Dan was silent.

Father Ye suddenly said, “Nephew, why don’t you take Lanlan back abroad?”

“Among the younger generation, Uncle only trusts you to give Lan Lan to you.”

When it comes to this, what he said is already clear.

As long as Huang Dan agrees, he will be the son-in-law of the Ye family.

Ye Lan and his wedding will be held before going abroad, so that Father Ye can feel at ease.

Huang Dan said, “Uncle, I can’t go.”

Father Ye seemed to have expected him to say this, “If you are worried about your grandma, uncle can take care of her for you.”

Huang Dan said he will not be at ease.

Father Ye said a few more words, seeing that the young man was still unwavering, he stopped temporarily, “Nephew, I’ll ask someone to take you to Lanlan’s place.”

Huang Dan made excuses and left. He came to see Father Ye, thinking that if something abnormal was discovered, as for Ye Lan, she probably had one purpose, to escape from Ye’s house and find that person.

He didn’t think of a way to help, so he stopped meeting.

After leaving Ye Mansion, Huang Dan took a few servants arranged by the old lady for a walk outside, and then went back.

When he arrived at the door, Huang Dan’s glance caught a piece of black clothes. He motioned for his servants to wait in place, and walked over lightly, “Chief Liu.”

Liu Chu leaned his back against the wall, holding a knife in his arms, wondering what he was thinking, when he heard the shout suddenly, he was startled.

Seeing the person coming, Liu Chu stood up straight, his steps were fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Huang Dan, “……”

This situation seemed familiar to him, and Liu Chu is avoiding him.

Huang Dan didn’t think much about it.

After half a month, the matter of the demon has not been figured out yet, and whoever owns the skeleton of the restaurant has another problem.

Earlier, the bandit nest in Spider Ridge was taken away, and a fish slipped through the net and came to the town.

Huang Dan didn’t look at the almanac when he went out, and bumped into a bandit who robbed and injured someone. Fortunately, he was carrying a gun.

After all, it’s really not peaceful recently. By doing this, you can protect yourself and others.

That’s what he thought before it happened.

Huang Dan didn’t know until something happened, no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless.

Because he has seen the legendary pig teammate, which is himself.

Liu Chu was fighting with some local bandits. The figures of the group intertwined too quickly.

Huang Dan took aim for a moment, and shot out. The one who was hit was not a bandit, but Liu Chu.

Liu Chu, “……”
