After returning to County Magistrate Chen, surrounded by people, Zuo Zuo felt a little more at ease and calmed down his mind, and then he heard the County Magistrate¡¯s question.
"What, what was the cause of death of these corpses?"
Wu Zuo¡¯s face was very ugly, slightly pale, he organized his words, and said with a vibrato in his voice that he was not aware of: "Please take a look, sir,"
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the five corpses that had their essence absorbed and died.
"These corpses are haggard, thin, with dull eyes, and there are no other injuries on their bodies. Judging from the villain's inference, they should have lost a lot of vitality in a short period of time, lost blood, and died of weakness."
??Then Wu Zuo pointed at the charred corpse.
"This charred corpse has obvious burn marks on its body, but there are no signs of distortion on the body. There should have been no struggle before being burned by the fire. It should have been burned to death in a very short time, so the body is so complete."
Finally, he pointed at the female corpse, but when he spoke, his tone was a bit hesitant and even more fearful.
"As for this female corpse, her body is riddled with holes, as if something was forcibly squeezed out of her body. There are burn marks on the wounds, which must have been burned by some hot object. As for whether it was caused by the rupture of the body. Die, or burn to death. Please forgive me for being incompetent and unable to see."
After Wu Zuo finished his apology, the room fell into silence. Only the slightly heavy and rapid breathing of everyone could be heard, but no one spoke to break the silence.
Although it was already daylight and the scorching sun was high outside, after listening to Zuo Zuo's words and looking at the grotesque corpses, a strange sense of fear still lingered in the hearts of everyone in this spacious house.
"Loss of Qi and blood, burned to coke, foreign matter extruded from the body, wounds burned"
Magistrate Chen's mind echoed with the words Zuo Ye said. Combined with the condition of the corpse at the scene and the case details described by Er Qing who reported the crime, he already had a rough outline of what happened on Zuo Ye. .
But after knowing the truth of the matter, he was not very happy. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Ghosts and walking corpses, such evil things actually exist."
At this moment, County Magistrate Chen felt that his concepts of life in the past decades had been shattered and shattered, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
So with a little hope, County Magistrate Chen turned to look at County Lieutenant Xu next to him, and asked tentatively: "Master Xu, you have been traveling around the world for more than ten years. You have been to many places and have seen a lot. With your knowledge, In my opinion, is it possible to have martial arts that can cause such injuries?"
Xu County Lieutenant was also horrified. Although he had traveled around the world for a long time, he had never seen such strange things.
It is not surprising that Qi and blood will be lost in a short period of time. Many warriors in the world have died due to the loss of Qi.
But he had never heard of being burned to death in a very short time without struggling in pain, based on his experience.
As for the things coming out of the body, squeezing the flesh and skin, and finally the wounds being burned, it was beyond his imagination.
He really couldn't imagine it.
"What can come out of a person's body and squeeze the wound like that?" And the quantity of this thing is so large that it can cause so many wounds.
And it must be so painful to endure this kind of torture.
Thinking of this, even a wealthy person like him couldn't help but shudder.
Now that I heard County Magistrate Chen¡¯s inquiry, I calmed down, took a deep breath, and then calmed down.
"My Lord County Magistrate, based on what I have seen and heard, there is no martial arts in the world that can cause such a death." Xu County Lieutenant first answered County Magistrate Chen's question, then saw that the other party fell into silence, gritted his teeth, and said hesitantly : "Moreover, I think these people all died in strange ways. Maybe it was really caused by some strange force that we don't know about."
After all, Xu Xianwei did not directly say the word "immortal method", and only referred to it as supernatural power.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for clearing up the confusion. I understand." After hearing Xu County Lieutenant's guess, County Magistrate Chen nodded. There was no expression on his face, but he was still as dignified.
After looking around at the many government servants who had frightened expressions on their faces after looking at the corpses, County Magistrate Chen said in a deep voice: "Listen, I have concluded this case. A thief entered the hotel last night and killed him." Four tourists living here also set fire to the bodies and burned them. The body of the daughter-in-law of the shop owner was accidentally implicated and was brutally poisoned.
Fortunately, the knight Lu Li took action, killed the thief, and saved everyone in the hotel. Such a righteous act must be rewarded. I will give you a hundred taels of silver as a reward.
This matter has arrivedAt this point, no random spreading is allowed, do you understand? "
"We will understand." Many officers, including Old Man Cai, all replied quickly.
County Magistrate Chen looked around and saw that everyone looked solemn, but he didn¡¯t know how much they had heard and whether they could keep the secret, but this was the only way they could go.
"The affairs of immortals and gods are elusive, and the affairs of ghosts and ghosts are unpredictable. They are not something that we mortals can deal with. The only way to settle down is to keep a respectful distance."
County Magistrate Chen sighed in his heart, feeling more and more that his manpower was limited. Facing these immortals and demons, even if he was the head of a county and the king of hundreds of miles, he felt powerless.
The case has been concluded.
County Magistrate Chen had no intention of staying in this room for too long. There were many corpses here and the signs of death were strange. He would feel panicked and unlucky even if he stayed for a moment longer.
After instructing the storekeeper to bury the corpses alive, he left the place with his entourage, walked through the corridor, and returned to the courtyard.
After County Magistrate Chen and others went to check on the body, Lu Li did not follow him or return to the room. Instead, he stood up and stood under the mulberry tree, looking up at the red clouds in the sky and standing silently.
In the eyes of others, this should be an immortal enjoying the beautiful sunrise, or measuring the celestial phenomena.
No one around him dared to disturb him, even Zhu Mingjiang, who had had breakfast with him before.
In fact, although Lu Li was looking at the red clouds, most of his mind was on using his magic power to digest the food he had just eaten and restore the lost energy in his body.
Catalyzed by mana, the food he ate was quickly decomposed and turned into streams of energy and blood, filling every part of his body.
By the time Magistrate Chen and the others hurriedly returned to the courtyard, Lu Li had digested all the food and recovered the lost energy.
"It looks like there will be heavy rain today."
Lu Li sighed, then looked away, looking behind him at County Magistrate Chen and others who looked a little pale, and said with a smile on his lips: "It seems that the magistrate has gained something, but have you found out the case?"
Seeing Lu Li again, Magistrate Chen's mentality had completely changed. He was less casual than before and more cautious now.
After hesitating for a moment, County Magistrate Chen did not say the word "immortal master" after all. Instead, he still maintained the original title and said with the same smile: "Mr. Lu is indeed very human. Chen has indeed gained something."
But what he didn¡¯t notice was that his tone was a little more respectful.
My heart has finally become different.
