I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 63 Bloody Words Left on the Bed

"Since then, rumors about the umbrella girl have spread throughout Black Rock Town. It's said that if you see a woman holding an umbrella at night, a groom will die tragically at home."

Yan Batian couldn't help but look a little frightened.

"Every groom?"

Li Ji exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the umbrella girl seems to like this kind of disguise very much. It is simply impossible to defend against it. Even if we send all our men out, it will be useless because there are too many families holding weddings."

Yan Batian replied.

"In this situation, is there anyone still holding a wedding?"

Li Ji's eyes were burning.

"Yes, of course. The mayor's only son married a new wife last night."

Yan Batian said angrily.

"Good words cannot persuade a ghost who is seeking death."

Li Ji's words were full of emotion, and he continued, "Where is the mayor's only son?"

"Well... the person I'm going to marry is from an honest family in Blackrock Town. Her background and appearance can be verified. She's definitely not the woman holding the umbrella."

Yan Batian was stunned for a moment, but finally he still spoke bravely under Li Ji's scorching gaze.

"lead the way!"

Li Ji didn't say a word.

"Please follow me, my Lord, and everyone from the Demon Suppression Department. The mayor's only son and his newly married wife are in the backyard of the government office."

Yan Batian opened his mouth but didn't say much. He still led the way respectfully towards the backyard of the yamen.

Li Ji and others followed closely behind, passing through the yamen and going deeper into the city.

The backyard was in a dilapidated state, and it was obvious that the residents had no intention of taking care of it. Lanterns had already been lit in many places in advance.

Even so, there are still many dark places that have not been illuminated, filled with a sense of gloom and coldness.

"My lady, don't worry. Even though my father is dead, I am still the mayor's only son until the imperial court issues an order..."

Tender words came from the room at the end of the corridor.

Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and followed Yan Batian towards the room at the end of the corridor.

"Master Sizhu, the mayor's only son and his new wife are here."

Yan Batian pointed to the room in front of him.

The lights in the corridor were on, emitting a warm yellow glow, but this room was dark, with the door and windows closed. Only the sweet words of the mayor's only son could be heard.

"Why is there no light in his room?"

Li Ji frowned and asked.

"The mayor's only son has a hidden illness, and he always keeps the candles out after nightfall."

Yan Batian replied somewhat embarrassedly.

As soon as these words were spoken, both Judge Wen and the detectives from the Demon Suppression Division had subtle looks in their eyes.

"In that case, call him and his wife out. I'll just wait here for a while."

Li Ji said slowly.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master."

Yan Batian showed a look of gratitude on his face, and immediately hurried forward to knock on the door, calling the name of the mayor's only son.

But no matter how loudly he shouted, only soft words could be heard in the room.

"My lady, don't worry. Even though my father is dead, I am still the mayor's only son until the imperial court issues an order..."

"..."

The words were still gentle as usual, but the repetition of them seemed extremely strange in the dark night.

Yan Batian's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his foot and kicked the door with all his strength. Bang, bang, bang!
A series of dull sounds were heard.

At this moment, the two thin doors seemed to be held up by a mountain from the inside. No matter how hard he kicked, they did not move at all.

The sweet words inside continued to ring out.

The cold sweat on Yan Batian's forehead flowed out all of a sudden. He clenched his teeth and his face turned pale.

"Bump the door!"

Li Ji looked at the closed door, his voice full of coldness.

Judge Wen immediately called upon all the detectives from the Demon Suppression Division behind him, and they all rushed towards the closed door with all their might.

Bang!
The thin wooden door was instantly smashed open by the combined force of the crowd, breaking into pieces and sending wood chips flying.

A bloody stench wafted from the dark room, filling the noses of everyone present with an unpleasant odor.

Yan Batian immediately asked someone to bring a lantern and shine it inside.

In the small room, the gloomy darkness was gradually dispelled by the dim light.

Wedding wine, wedding candles, red curtains... everything is as usual!
There was only a young man in a bright red groom's suit sitting on the bed, with his back to the crowd, reaching out to touch something against the wall.

Originally, he was still speaking sweet words, but they came to an abrupt halt when the door was kicked open.

Li Ji walked into the room and looked around the bridal chamber which looked normal. His eyes finally fell on the groom who had his back to them.

Judge Wen and others were busy lighting the wedding candles and other things in the room, and they were also looking at the groom with full vigilance, who still had his back to them and was reaching out to touch something in the air.

"What are you doing?"

Li Ji walked over step by step and stood behind the groom, his eyes full of indifference.

The groom still did not respond, as if he could not hear anything. He still stretched out his hand and felt in the air. The dim candlelight reflected his shadow on the wall, crooked and dim.

"I asked you what you were doing?!"

Li Ji reached out and grabbed the groom's shoulder, trying to force him to sit with his back to the crowd.

Unexpectedly, the moment his hand landed on the groom's shoulder, Li Ji's face instantly darkened.

With a puff, the person in front of me suddenly deflated and fell on the bed, leaving only a thin layer of human skin mixed with the bright red wedding dress.

Flesh, blood, and bones all disappeared.

The only thing that was glaring was the reddish-brown bloodstains on the bed and bedding, like dots of blooming plum blossoms.

Yan Batian, who was standing by, was so frightened that his scalp went numb and he almost cried out, and quickly covered his mouth.

Judge Wen and others watched the horrifying scene with serious expressions.

"Even though there is only a layer of human skin left, it still gave me a feeling of being alive."

Li Ji withdrew his hand with a cold look.

The skin on my fingertips that had just touched the other person's shoulder actually felt slightly itchy.

He understood that this was not fear, nor horror, nor poisoning, but just a momentary psychological discomfort.

"Judge Wen, have someone go with Yan Batian to the woman's home to see if anyone has taken over her."

Li Ji's face was slightly cold, and he gave the order out loud.

Yan Batian felt a chill in his heart and thought of many things in an instant, but he still suppressed his fear and followed seven or eight detectives from the Demon Suppression Division and quickly walked out of the room.

As for Judge Wen and the others who stayed behind, they naturally did not need any instructions and began to search the room for any clues left behind.

Li Ji reached out and threw the bright red groom's suit onto the bed, picked up the thin layer of human skin and examined it carefully. Not finding anything unusual, he threw it to Judge Wen behind him for careful inspection.

Wow!
The quilt was lifted, and a large pool of reddish-brown blood stained the entire bed.

Suddenly, his eyes focused and he noticed three twisted bloody words above the bed.
