Chapter 13 Master, I love you!
The mayor picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, put it down and then began to explain to them.
"This incident first happened a month ago. It was discovered by the manager of Zuichunlou. At that time, it was just dawn and they wanted to go out to the hall to buy some things. But when they passed by the hall, they saw a person lying on the ground. His face was pale, his lips were blue, his eyes were sunken, and there was no wound on his body. It was as if all the energy had been sucked out of him. Only a skinny corpse was left. They were so scared that they quickly reported it to the authorities.
Government officials came later but could not find the murderer, so the matter was suppressed. A few days later, everyone thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, another person died in Zuichunlou, and his death was exactly the same as the previous one.
Zuichunlou had no choice but to close its doors. I thought that was the end of the matter, but later on another body was found by the river in the town. Three people died at once, and the people were in a panic. I invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, but I didn't expect that the Taoist priest would die in my house the next day.
The monks had looked for it before but it was useless. I had no choice but to send a letter for help to everyone in the Qinling Sect. Now many people have left this town because of this incident. If I don’t take care of it, I’m afraid there will be no one left in this town!"
The mayor was talking nicely at first but later on he started to cry uncontrollably, and the grief in his eyes didn't seem fake. He is indeed a good mayor, Qingyu commented affirmatively in her heart.
After hearing what he said, several people fell silent. This matter was a bit tricky for them. After all, they were not the only ones who had come here before. They had to deal with it carefully.
Qingyu and Yuni looked at each other and saw the difficulty of this matter in each other's eyes. After thinking about it, they glanced at each other and nodded.
Qingyu turned to look in the direction of the mayor and asked gently, "I wonder if you can take us to see the bodies of those people?"
Upon hearing this, the mayor quickly stood up and led the way for the group. "Oh! Okay,... Immortals, please follow me."
"Their bodies were originally kept at the government office, but since the office is a bit far from the town, they were placed at my house," he explained to them as they walked.
Hearing this, several people nodded and followed him without saying a word until they stopped in front of a simple house guarded by guards. The mayor signaled the guards at the door to open the door, and he walked in with Qingyu and others.
As soon as they entered, they smelled the odor of rotting corpses in the house. The smell was so bad that everyone except Qingyu and Yuni raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses.
Qingyu and Yuni also frowned a little bit but didn't show it too exaggeratedly.
The mayor felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, after all, this matter was not something he could control.
Qingyu saw his embarrassment and quickly spoke to ease the situation, "Mayor, we'll just have to look after it ourselves. You can leave first."
The mayor saw that he wanted to ease the current predicament and quickly agreed to retreat.
After everyone left, Qingyu hurried forward to check the bodies covered with white cloth. He walked to the body closest to the door, lifted the white cloth, and saw a person lying on the board who could not be called a human at all.
Such a cruel death was too much for the people present to bear to watch, and they couldn't help but feel infinite grief and hatred towards the evil spirit.
But now everyone knows that this is not the time to be angry. Qingyu is naturally angry as well, but it is better to find the evil spirit first.
Qingyu came to some conclusions after looking at all the corpses, but he did not make them public. It was not that he did not say anything on purpose, but he was afraid that someone might eavesdrop and alert the enemy.
After reading it, several people left the mayor's house and went to the inn in the town to rest. Originally, the mayor wanted to keep them in his house to rest, but Qingyu refused on the grounds that their sect had strict rules. After hearing this, the mayor did not say much and did not keep them any longer.
As for the so-called strict rules of the sect, it is just an excuse. No one knows it anyway.
It was already very late when they arrived, and they went to check the body of the victim. It was already very late, and it was dark when they arrived at the inn.
Several people returned to their rooms, and Qingyu entered Yuni's room to discuss today's events with him.
Yu Ni led him to sit down and sat on the other side of the table. "Junior brother, what did you find today?"
Yu Ni was a thoughtful and intelligent person, so how could she not notice that Qingyu was different today? But she also knew that it was not appropriate to talk about the situation at that time.
Qingyu chuckled when he heard this and teased, "Senior brother is smart. Qingyu admires you."
Although his words were teasing, they were sincere and came from deep admiration. Yu Ni naturally understood what he meant. "Okay, let's talk about the matter first."
When it came to business, Qingyu immediately stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
"When I checked the bodies today, I found that although they gave off the smell of decay, there was not a single rotten part on the bodies. In addition, I also smelled a strange fragrance in the smell."
"Strange fragrance?"
Yu Ni was a little surprised when she heard this, obviously she had not noticed this. She naturally also noticed this when Qingyu mentioned that the corpse was not decayed, but she did not smell any of the strange fragrance.
Qingyu was not surprised by his surprise. After all, he could smell that scent because he had been refining medicine for many years. Naturally, his sense of smell was more sensitive than that of others. But he did not explain because there was no need.
"I guess the smell of rotting corpses must have appeared to cover up this strange fragrance, but I don't know what that strange fragrance is."
Qingyu thought of these things when he smelled the strange fragrance today, but he had no idea about anything else.
Yu Ni saw his worry, but also knew that this matter should not be rushed. "Don't worry, this matter cannot be investigated in a short time. You should go and rest for now."
Qingyu knew that what he said made sense and didn't think about it anymore, so she went straight back to her room, lay down and fell asleep.
Second day
Several people got up and went to the homes of the deceased people to ask questions in order to find out what they had in common. Their families also knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally cooperated with them.
Finally they linked together the clues of their inquiry and came to a conclusion.
Before they died, these people had all been to a place - Zuichunlou. Now they were in a dilemma, because Zuichunlou was a famous "place of pleasure" in the town. Although they were there to investigate the case, they were still cautious.
After some discussion, Qingyu and Yuni were finally the ones to go. The reason given was that they were the strongest and could take care of each other.
Qing·the strongest·Yu, Yu·the strongest·Ni:······I thank you!
