People are in the division of eliminating demons, and martial arts have evolved by themselves

Chapter 73 Statues
This news naturally made Zhou You's heart sink slightly.

But he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it. There was no such thing as a freezer in this era, and the corpses would naturally need to be disposed of after being stored for a long time, otherwise it would easily cause plague and diseases.

"Are you in charge of the investigation these days?" Zhou You asked.

Pang Butou said in a deep voice: "After the county magistrate Zeng hanged himself, he was indeed in charge of the investigation. Unfortunately, his ability is limited, and he has no clues. He has no clue. Please forgive me."

His attitude is very correct.

"Show me the case files you have investigated and sorted out these days." Zhou You didn't blame him either.

These things are indeed beyond the reach of an ordinary county government arrester.

Catcher Pang didn't talk nonsense, and quickly went to get a case file and handed it to Zhou You.

"Master Zhou, sit down." Ma County Magistrate, who was sitting in the main seat, quickly vacated his seat.

Now this uncle is the hope of whether he can continue to be the county magistrate in Huai County, so naturally he can't neglect it.

Zhou You was not polite either, he just sat down and checked the file.

Before coming, he also inquired about it on the street.Zeng Feng's reputation among the common people is not bad, he is a diligent and good official.

Because of this, his death will also cause panic among the people in the county.

If the death is a big corrupt official, I am afraid that the common people will only applaud him, and they will not care how he died.

There is very little information on the case file, because there are no clues to write in at all.

Most of the pages are about Zeng Feng's death.

His death was miserable, his eyes were tightly open, and his facial expression was distorted, as if he saw something extremely frightening.

The internal organs have disappeared, leaving only an empty skin
That night, the yamen servant on duty at the county government also said that he did not hear any movement or noise in the backyard.

No signs of climbing were found in the backyard of the county government office, and no property was lost after the inventory
In short, there is something weird about this case.

"Did Magistrate Zeng offend anyone or do anything unusual a few days before his death?" Zhou You asked in a deep voice.

"No, everything is as usual." Pang Tun shook his head.

"Then let's go." Zhou You put down the case file and stepped out of the courtroom.

Ma County Magistrate asked in bewilderment: "Master Zhou, where are you going?"

"The place where Zeng Feng hanged himself." Zhou You said without looking back.

Hearing this, Catcher Pang hurriedly led the way for the demon slayer.

Ma County Magistrate and Master Tang looked at each other and followed curiously.

They also wanted to see what the demon slayers were up to.

The backyard of the county government.

"According to the analysis of the footprints underground at that time, the county magistrate Zeng should have gone to the hut, and then he came to this old tree and hanged himself."

Pang Tutou introduced the situation.

"This tree must be a locust tree." Zhou You said lightly.

This locust tree is a shady tree, used to make coffins, this kind of tree can only be said to be bold in the backyard.

"This old locust tree has a history of more than 100 years. This county government was built after the magistrate Zeng took office. It was an open space before. He thought it was a pity to cut down the old locust tree, so he kept it there." But Pang Tutou is very clear about the origin of this old locust tree.

Zhou You touched the old pagoda tree.

The bark is rough, but very moist.

However, Zhou You frowned.

On this locust tree, he felt a residual gloomy air.

This wisp of yin qi carried a certain evil meaning, unlike the natural generation of the old locust tree.

Zhou Yu closed her eyes, carefully perceiving the source of this ray of Yin Qi,

The yin energy hidden in the old locust tree seemed to have sensed something, and went directly to the roots of the tree, disappearing without a trace.

"Get some people over here and dig up this tree." Zhou You opened his eyes and ordered.

He wanted to see what was hidden under it.

"Okay!" Catcher Pang didn't hesitate, and soon called three or four yamen servants with shovels.

Several young yamen servants are all powerful men of Kong Wu, and the newly appointed Magistrate Ma is watching by, so naturally they worked extra hard, and within a short while dug a deep hole around the old locust tree, exposing the dense roots .

"One, two, three!"

This old locust tree is not tall, and its diameter is only the size of a person's embrace.

The three yamen servants hugged the locust tree at the same time, wanting to pull it out directly.

But a strange thing happened, no matter how hard they exerted themselves, the locust tree remained motionless, not even shaking the leaves.

"Didn't you eat? Come again!"

Seeing this scene, Catcher Pang felt that these guys were stealing and playing tricks, and roared angrily.

The yamen servant heard that his boss was angry, and even used all his strength to nurse, his face was flushed, and the locust tree didn't move at all.

"Boss can't do it. This locust tree seems to be made of iron, it's too heavy."

The yamen servant was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, panting.

Seeing this scene, any fool would know that this locust tree is definitely weird.

Now, Zhou You can only do it himself.

He came to the locust tree and hugged it tightly with both hands.

"rise!"

The muscles all over his body instantly swelled with blood, bursting out with unparalleled strength.

rumbling~
Like an earthquake, the entire county government backyard shook violently.

The locust tree was pulled up abruptly by Zhou You, and thrown aside casually.

Under the locust tree, a strange statue appeared.

This statue is very small, about the size of the palm of an adult man, its whole body is pitch black, but its body is stained with red blood.

It looks like a ferocious ghost, as if climbing up from the Nine Nether Hell, exuding a strong breath of death.

The weirdest thing is that the ghost's stomach is empty, without anything, but it holds something similar to internal organs in its hands, as if it was eaten by itself.

Weird
gloomy
Infiltrate
When everyone saw this statue for the first time, they felt the coolness behind their backs, and their goose bumps exploded all over their bodies.

"My dear, this statue looks too scary." Ma County Magistrate didn't dare to look at it after taking a look, and quickly looked away.

If you watch too much of this stuff, you will definitely have nightmares at night.

The same is true for other people, who dare not take a second look at all.

The only person who can look at the statue of this evil spirit is Zhou You.

He exhaled slightly, and reached out to pick up the statue from below.

The moment the palm of the hand came into contact with the ghost statue.

A ferocious ghost appeared in Zhou You's eyes in an instant. It looked exactly like the statue, with a terrifying face and its stomach was hollowed out, and it came viciously biting towards him.

At this time~
Zhou You's body suddenly erupted with an astonishing evil spirit, and a distorted red ghost suddenly appeared, looking at the ferocious ghost who rushed towards him, he let out a strange smile.
Click!

In the next second, the red phantom opened its mouth wide and swallowed the ferocious ghost alive in one gulp.

hiccup~
He even burped contentedly.
