Chapter 104 Bite, Strange Murder Case

Bai Yutang looked puzzled, he walked along the roof a few times, and found - the door was locked!In the entire Yingtian Mansion, let alone people on the street, there is not even a ghost, and unfortunately, it is still just dark.

Originally, where did no one let him go for a stroll?You can't just go for a silly stroll in the street alone.

Bai Yutang sighed helplessly, and fell into the yard.

Hui Feng looked at him with some puzzlement, saw him sigh, and said, "Forget it, go to bed early, go to Kaifeng tomorrow, Kaifeng Mansion is more lively."

The return wind flicked its tail and scratched the ground - great!

Bai Yutang was helpless, entered the room, and fell asleep peacefully... After turning over on the bed a few times, he gradually fell asleep.

Sleeping until midnight, I was suddenly awakened.

Bai Yutang was always alert when sleeping, the reason why he said he was awakened... was because there were many dogs barking on the street.There are a lot of people with dogs, and you can watch the door or something. Occasionally one or two dogs bark at night, that's okay... But the strange thing is, why does it seem like all the dogs in the city are barking?

Bai Yutang turned over, covered his head with the quilt, and said to himself, "What is this? Are the dogs having a meeting?"

After suffering for a while, Bai Yutang couldn't take it anymore, got up and opened the door to go out, only to see Huifeng also frantically shaking his ears in the yard.

Bai Yutang went out, patted its head, and asked, "What are they arguing about, do you understand?" See the street is still empty.All the dogs in the city are barking, but no one is lighting a lamp.

Bai Yutang was even more puzzled, and thought to himself... this is really interesting!It can be seen that the dog barked like this not the first day, but every day, people are used to it, otherwise, he doesn't believe that no one cares.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang jumped back to the yard, walked around in the yard... and went to find his buddy, "Dude!"

But the strange thing is, no one agreed to the man.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and thought... What's going on?It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and it was not the first time he came to Ying Tianfu, but it was the first time he encountered this strange thing.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, rolled his eyes, searched around, finally reached the kitchen, took out an iron pan, took out a shovel, knocked on the roof and shouted, "It's water! Out of the water!"

This trick was quite effective, and not long after, the entire restaurant ran out, Bai Yutang hurriedly threw the spatula away, flashed back to his yard, opened the door pretending to be sleepy, and came out.Sure enough, many people were looking for the source of the fire outside, asking, "Where is the fire?"

Bai Yutang rubbed his eyes, "What's the matter, so noisy?"

The man hurriedly said, "Oh, sir, I don't know who is calling, saying it's on fire."

"It's on fire?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Is someone shouting? I heard a lot of dogs barking. What's going on?"

"Hehe...Master, don't ask, just bear with it, this night will be over." The man whispered, "One night?" Bai Yutang looked at him with wide eyes and said, "You mean this dog To be called all night? Why is that?"

"This... not necessarily. Sometimes I stop in the first half of the night, and sometimes I listen to it in the second half of the night. In short, it must be stopped before dawn." The man said, and wanted to go back to sleep.

Bai Yutang stopped him and asked, "You pay me the bill, I'm leaving."

"Go?" The man was taken aback and asked, "Now."

"Yes." Bai Yutang said indifferently, "Anyway, I can't fall asleep, so I might as well go on my way and sleep in a quiet place."

Huifeng beside him snorted and scratched his hooves—that's right!If I had known earlier, I would have stopped!

The buddy quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no!"

"Why can't you do it?" Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled, "Isn't it because I don't want to pay the bill?"

"No." The man quickly shook his head, sighed and said to Bai Yutang in a low voice, "You can't go out at night!"

"Why?" Bai Yutang asked puzzled, "That...Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night!"

Bai Yutang looked at him with raised eyebrows, smiled for a while, and asked, "What?"

"Really!" The man sighed weakly, and said, "Master, you probably know that a while ago, there was a flood at the Qihe River, and many people died?"

"En." Bai Yutang nodded and said, "So what?"

"It is said that many died there, all of them were officers and soldiers from other places."

Bai Yutang nodded, there was indeed such a thing.

"This man must have died in his homeland... If a guest dies in a foreign land, his ancestors will suffer! Do you have to return to your roots after falling leaves?" said the man.

Bai Yutang nodded after hearing this - that's what he said.

"As for the family members of the deceased, they hired a group of exorcists from Xiangxi to transport a large number of lonely ghosts back. It has been several days, and we dare not go out.

"Turning corpses?" Bai Yutang smiled. He had heard of them. Miaodi had them, and Xiangxi also had them. It was a kind of witchcraft, and it belonged to white witches... However, there was no need to be afraid of becoming like this.He said, "It's not that the one who drove the corpse said he couldn't see it. What's wrong with taking a look? Also, why is the dog barking like that?"

"Grandpa... I'm not joking. A few days ago, there was someone who took a look at the corpse at night... Later, he was bitten to death by the corpse." The clerk replied tremblingly.

"Bite to death by a corpse?" Bai Yutang was even more puzzled.

And just at this time, suddenly... all the dogs stopped barking, and the sound of uniform footsteps came from the street, very rhythmic and regular.

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, then he heard the clerk and shopkeeper yelling "Here we come", and ran back to the house to close the door and lock it.

How could Bai Yutang be afraid of these strange things, so he jumped onto the roof and looked down... Although he had seen some things in the world, he was also a little shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

On the sky street in the distance, there are several groups of people coming, and these people are behaving strangely.In the lead were a few old Taoist priests in gray sermon robes, holding a bowl of water in one hand and a bell in the other, ringing the bell as they walked.

They walked forward unhurriedly, and the strangest thing was the row of people following the Taoist priests... I saw that those people were all dressed in plain onyx, all in white clothes, which were obviously shrouds, with bamboo hats on their heads, and bamboo hats There are also a few charms pasted on it... These people's movements are extremely uniform, and their steps are very neat, and they all walk in the rhythm of the bells of the old way.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, according to what the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper wanted...all those people walking in groups were corpses? !

No matter how he thought about it, Bai Yutang felt that something was wrong, so he took out a black jade locust rock from his sleeve and put it in his hand.He raised his hand and flicked the white-clothed man who was walking in the middle... The black jade flying locust flew out and hit the man's bamboo hat directly...

The bamboo hat was blown away at the sound, and Bai Yutang frowned deeply when he looked at it again - the face exposed outside the bamboo hat...had begun to rot, and there was still a spell on his forehead.

At this moment, one of the Taoist priests suddenly raised the bell and shook it, then stopped... Interestingly, the corpses behind him also stopped.

The old Taoist turned around, picked up the bamboo hat, put it back on the corpse's head, then walked to the front of the team, rang the bell...and continued walking.

Bai Yutang watched this weird team go away, and he couldn't laugh or cry, this is all wrong... Could it be that the mummy is still real?He always knew that this was just a trick used by the people who transported the corpse.

Full of suspicion, Bai Yutang went down to the roof, and the return wind was still digging in the yard——Bai Bai, go to sleep!Get up early tomorrow!

Seeing that it was anxious, Bai Yutang felt helpless. After thinking about it, it was none of his business anyway, so he went back to sleep.

At this time, the dogs also became quiet. Bai Yutang lay on the bed, thinking about what the buddy said just now, about driving corpses, zombies biting people, etc., and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, it was just dawn... Bai Yutang heard two bangs, got up and looked, and saw Huifeng's buttocks facing the door, kicking the door of his room with his hind hoof, as if to say—— hurry up!hurry up!

Bai Yutang shook his head and sighed, so he had no choice but to put on his clothes, dragged Huifeng and hurried to Kaifeng mansion.

……

Zhan Zhao is currently investigating the case of a gambler who was bitten to death. He asked the hunters and woodcutters in the surrounding areas where there are wolves, or if there is any incident of being bitten to death.

But the answer they got was no.

Zhan Zhao began to wonder, and thought to himself... Could it be that this is just a coincidence?

Zhan Zhao was quite helpless, he wandered back to Kaifeng Mansion, but he was thinking about... Didn't Bai Yutang say he would come, why hasn't he shown up yet?

As soon as he got onto the street, he saw a large group of people coming from the gate of the city, with tall horses pulling carts of boxes.These boxes were all sealed with chains, and a flag was planted in front of the car, with the inscription - Changfeng.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be from the Changfeng Security Bureau, this Changfeng Security Bureau has always been active in the south, why did they come to Kaifeng today with bodyguards?

The bodyguards of the Changfeng Bodyguard Agency seemed extremely nervous, carefully holding the boxes and rushing to the North City of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao thought about it, the North City is in the direction of the Daxiangguo Temple, and there aren't many big families... Generally, other people's houses are not willing to build near the temple, it's unlucky.

Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao continued to walk back, when he passed by the restaurant, he felt something flying towards him, Zhan Zhao turned sideways, reached out to catch it, and saw it was a peanut.

Zhan Zhao was overjoyed and raised his head... However, he didn't see the familiar white figure, but Tang Mi who was lying on the railing and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Zhan Zhao wrinkled his nose—boring!

Seeing Zhan Zhao's frustrated and disappointed face, Tang Mi laughed, and said, "Oh, I mean little cat, why are you listless? Are you sick?"

Zhan Zhao ignored him, stuffed peanuts into his mouth, chewed them and wanted to leave, but Tang Mi asked with a smile, "Is it lovesickness? I have medicine here."

Zhan Zhao turned his head, squinted his eyes and gave Tang Mi a sideways glance, Tang Mi quickly restrained himself, and said with a smile, "Oh, don't go, come up and eat something."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "I'm patrolling the streets."

The pedestrians passing by Zhan Zhao on the street, as well as the guys in many restaurants couldn't help laughing, Zhan Zhao would eat something every time he patrolled the street...

Zhan Zhao blushed.

Tang Mi smiled and said, "Master Zhan, come up, I have something important to ask you."

When Zhan Zhao heard that it was business, he jumped up to the second floor of the restaurant, sat down at the table, and asked Tang Mi, "What's the matter?"

Tang Mi thought for a while and asked, "Did two gamblers get killed?"

Zhan Zhao blinked and nodded, "Yeah, how do you know? Got a clue?"

Tang Mi frowned and smiled, "Well... I don't know if this counts as a clue, but maybe it's related."

"Let's talk about it." Zhan Zhao reached out and took a cashew nut into his mouth, and continued to crunch it.

"I came here all the way from the middle of Sichuan... I passed through more than 20 state capitals along the way, and the first dozen or so did not find anything unusual... But the several state capitals near Kaifeng, I walked all the way... I heard All kinds of rumors were told."

"What rumor?" Zhan Zhao raised some interest.

"There are all kinds of things, such as theater troupe, driving corpses, escorting darts..." Tang Mi said, "but the most special thing is that every place has two gamblers killed."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao was stunned.
