Chapter 11
Almost everyone thought that Lu Ren was dead. I finally slept well last night.
This morning, I heard that another big cancer, Wang Ergou, was also killed. I wanted to celebrate for three days and three nights.
Who would have thought that Lu Ren, whose life was hanging by a thread, went to Wuxianpo and not only was he not drained of his yang energy by the fairy, but his complexion even improved. Is it true that good people don't live long, and evil people will last for thousands of years?
Lu Ren glanced at the different expressions of the people around him indifferently, turning a deaf ear to their whispers.
He followed the crowd who went to watch and walked slowly towards the gate.
Every time he passed a place, he would always cause a commotion, making him the focus of everyone's attention.
However, in the eyes of the people in Yangliu Town, he was not a good person.
I don't know why, Lu Ren somewhat enjoyed the feeling that everyone was in awe of him.
Perhaps this was related to his sophisticated and flattering personality in his previous life.
Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder from behind.
Lu Ren's eyes suddenly turned cold as if it was a conditioned reflex.
At the same time, the Seven Killing Fist quickly gathered momentum and turned around to punch at an extremely fast speed.
This was a physical instinct that he had developed after practicing the Seven Killing Fist for thirty years.
"It's me!"
Yang Bin looked at the fist that was only an inch away from his face, and he stood there in a daze as if he had lost his soul.
Lu Ren's brows relaxed, and he put his fist down, and the terrifying murderous aura on his body disappeared.
Seeing this, Yang Bin felt relieved.
His palms, forehead, and back were all covered in cold sweat, and he looked very embarrassed.
At a certain moment just now, he really felt that he was about to die.
The feeling of suffocation made him breathless, and his body seemed to be fixed and unable to move.
Yang Bin looked at Lu Ren with some fear:"You......."
Lu Ren was completely different from the cold-faced detective with murderous intent just now. He walked forward with a smile and hooked his arm around Yang Bin's shoulder.
"I'm still alive, shouldn't you treat me to a meal and a drink to celebrate?"
Yang Bin shrank back, and seemed to be still instinctively afraid of Lu Ren.
"Did you just use the Seven Killing Fist?"
If Lu Ren had not stopped his punch in time, he would have probably reported to the Hades now.
Although he was frightened, Yang Bin still felt a sense of déjà vu from Lu Ren's fist. What
Lu Ren just used was indeed the Seven Killing Fist taught by Captain Liao!
But the problem is that Lu Ren has not practiced diligently in these years, and his boxing skills have always stagnated and remained at the entry level.
This is no secret in the government.
Yang Bin stared at Lu Ren's hand in a daze.
The fist power he just burst out seemed to have reached the great success realm. Is it an illusion? Or did Lu Ren suddenly get some opportunity? Yang Bin knows his childhood playmate very well. He has a very low talent for martial arts, and he has been self-destructive and wasted his time in these years. It is impossible for him to suddenly realize the great success of boxing. Lu Ren laughed:"
What Seven Killing Fist or Eight Killing Fist, I haven't heard of it, but it is true that you suddenly appeared and scared me." Yang Bin frowned slightly and moved his lips, but said nothing.
"You also learned about Wang Ergou’s murder and went to check the situation?"
"Yeah." Yang Bin nodded, with a hint of worry on his face:"Captain Liao said this matter seems a little strange."
Lu Ren looked puzzled:"What's strange?"
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there were some traces left when handling the body last night, and now they are discovered?
Yang Bin was silent for a moment, and said to him:"You should go and see it yourself."........
When we arrived at the scene, there were already quite a few onlookers gathered around.
Under the old willow tree at the gate, several people were gathered together discussing something, their faces looked serious, even a little frightened.
"Don't go any further." A tall, strong constable stopped at the intersection and prohibited unauthorized persons from approaching.
Yang Bin went over and said hello:"Brother Tieniu, thank you for your hard work."
Li Tieniu smiled innocently:"It's my duty to work for the government.""
Yangliu Town is not big. Together with the surrounding villages, there are only about a thousand households in total.
In addition to the mayor Shen Deshou, there are ten constables and two civil servants.
They all eat government food. Although their annual salary is not much, they are a veritable high-income group in this small town.
The mayor and civil servants are appointed by the county government and are generally not easily changed.
Therefore, the only way for the residents of the town to hope to improve their lives is to become a constable.
Li Tieniu grew up in a poor family. He had never been literate. He had only strength and was good at boxing and kicking. In his early years, he had a bad reputation in the town.
Later, he was appreciated by the head of the police Liao Jian, who promoted him to a constable.
Li Tieniu has always been grateful for this. He has always been meticulous in his work and is the first to rush to the front when there is danger.
He cherishes it very much. His current hard-earned identity as a constable.
After exchanging a few words with Yang Bin, Li Tieniu noticed Lu Ren standing behind him.
He was slightly stunned, and his expression became a little restrained.
Lu Ren smiled and nodded at him, and Li Tieniu also responded with a smile.
But his smile was obviously mixed with a bit of falsehood.
Li Tieniu is honest and upright, and often upholds justice for those vulnerable groups who are oppressed.
Obviously, he and"Lu Ren" have the most direct conflict of values.
For this reason, the two quarreled a lot.
Every time it came to Captain Liao, Captain Liao would choose to protect Lu Ren because of their old friendship.
Over time, Li Tieniu had a knot in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Ren was still alive, he couldn't tell whether he should be disappointed or happy?
At least, Captain Liao should be happy!
"Brother Tieniu, you continue to be busy. Lu Ren and I will go over and take a look."
"Well, go ahead." Li Tieniu nodded and turned his eyes away from Lu Ren.
With a stern face, he tapped the wooden stake beside him with the scabbard in his hand and warned loudly in one direction:"Why are you guys pushing so hard? Haven't you seen a dead person before?"
Lu Ren ignored this scene and followed Yang Bin to the old willow tree.
There were four people standing under the tree.
One of them was a short, plump, white-haired old man with a ruddy complexion. He was the mayor of Yangliu Town, Shen Deshou, who was over 70 years old.
He was a native of Yangliu Town and was highly respected.
Although he sometimes showed favoritism, such as shielding his nephew Wang Ergou.
But looking back at the decades he served as mayor, he was still conscientious and fulfilled his duties, so he was always loved and respected by the people in the town.
On the left and right of Shen Deshou stood two people, both wearing black slim-fitting constable uniforms.
The one on the left was a little older, about forty years old, with a solemn look on his approachable face.
This person It was the head of the police, Liao Jian.
The man on Shen Deshou's right was of burly build, with dark skin, a striking scar on his rough face, and fierce eyes.
If you look closely, you will find that he looks a bit like Yang Bin.
His name is Yang Lie, and he is Yang Bin's eldest brother.
With two constables in the same family, the old Yang family can be said to be very prominent in the town.
There was another person, who was well-dressed and looked wealthy. He was the owner of a medicine shop, Qian Maocai, who had worked as a coroner in Shanyin County for several years in his early years.
Later, he felt that dealing with the dead every day in this line of work was too unlucky, so he came to Yangliu Town to open a medicine shop, and occasionally helped neighbors to see patients on weekdays.
At this moment, Qian Maocai was squatting on the ground, carefully observing the corpse in front of him, his face full of solemnity.
""Manager Qian, have you figured out anything?" Liao Jian asked. Qian Maocai shook his head:"Mr. Shen, Captain Liao, Wang Ergou's death was too bizarre. I suspect that it was done by more than one demon."
Shen Deshou heard this and snorted coldly with an angry look on his face.
Liao Jian's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to ask:"What do you mean?"
Qian Maocai pointed to the dead body on the ground:"Captain Liao, please look, Wang Ergou's internal organs have been hollowed out. It should be the work of a demon who likes to eat raw flesh and blood.
But this is obviously a dried corpse, with only a shriveled human skin attached to the skeleton."
Liao Jian seemed to have thought of something:"Do you suspect that it was done by those evil beasts in Wuxianpo?"
"No, at most they just absorb Yang Qi, and a mere transformation demon can't suck a person into a mummy."
Yang Lie, who had been silent all this time, spoke for a rare time:"You mean, the murderer is a demon above the transformation stage?"
Qian Maocai looked embarrassed:"It's hard to say, after all, similar situations have never happened before."
Liao Jian put one hand on the sword at his waist, and looked out of the town with a deep gaze:"In the past two years, no demons have sneaked into the town to commit crimes. Could it be that they have started to make moves again recently?"
He turned to look at Shen Deshou, and pondered for a moment:"Mr. Shen, do you want to report to the county government?"
Shen Deshou closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, a sinister look flashed across his turbid eyes.
"No need, it's just an insignificant person who died, the people in the Demon Suppression Division don't have the time to deal with such trivial matters."
His tone was mocking.
Then, he said to Liao Jian and others:"You don't need to continue investigating this matter, be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself."
"But Mr. Shen, Wang Ergou is your nephew after all........."
Shen Deshou glanced at Qian Maocai coldly:"Did I say I don't care?"
Liao Jian heard something unusual in his words.
Could it be that Mr. Shen was going to ask that person to help?
If so, the price would be high.........
Shen Deshou's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to leave, he ran into Yang Bin and Lu Ren.
He looked at Lu Ren deeply, as if he was a little surprised.
"You are not dead?"
Lu Ren bowed and smiled:"In reply to Mr. Shen, I have a tough life. I will not die easily before you are buried." He seemed polite, but in fact, every word was heartbreaking. His predecessor had always been at odds with the mayor.
If it weren't for Liao Jian's protection and the support of Fairy Baiyu behind him, I'm afraid he would have been stripped of his constable uniform long ago.
Shen Deshou sneered:"So what if you have a tough life? Can you live past next year?"
Lu Ren chuckled:"Thanks to Mr. Shen, my relationship with Fairy Baiyu has grown deeper and deeper. She was reluctant to see me die young, so she passed on some of her cultivation to me and helped me extend my life for ten years.
Moreover, Fairy Baiyu has now gone out to find a dual cultivation method for me, and wants me to stay with her for a long time.
So........Not only will I survive the next year, but maybe I will be able to burn a stick of incense on your grave a hundred years after you pass away."
He said this on purpose. His purpose was to give a reasonable explanation for the fact that he was still alive and Bai Yu was missing.
These were Bai Yu's original words when she was making love with him, so Lu Ren's tone was very firm and no one could find any flaws.
"Liao Jian, take care of this little bastard, if he dares to speak rudely to me again......."Hmph!"
Shen Deshou turned pale with anger, and left angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Liao Jian also felt helpless.
If he could control Lu Ren, he would not let him become what he is now.
I don't know if Brother Lu Chuan's spirit in heaven will be resentful of him?
Liao Jian walked towards Lu Ren and said earnestly:"Don't make Mr. Shen angry at every turn in the future. He is old and easily angry and hurts his body."
Lu Ren nodded gently:"I know, Uncle Liao."
Liao Jian pointed to the dried corpse on the ground and lowered his voice:"You and Yang Bin should take Wang Ergou's body out and bury it. Remember that this matter must not be made public to avoid causing panic among the people."
After Liao Jian left, Lu Ren stepped forward and saw Wang Ergou's death clearly from a close distance.
His brows tightened immediately, and he was a little stunned and confused.
After a night, Wang Ergou turned into this?
Could it be that, as Manager Qian just said, a demon above the transformation stage appeared in the town last night?
