weird world corpse

Chapter 21 Encountering a Merchant
After examining the corpse, Fang Mu looked at the brazier next to him.

It seems that Butcher Zhao, like Boss Zhou, was attacked by paper figurines while burning paper.

But Boss Zhou happened to meet him, and Butcher Zhao disappeared.

"Brother Fang, did you find anything?" Seeing Fang Mu stop, the policeman hurriedly asked.

Fang Mu said: "The corpse died from the wound on the chest. It seemed that some kind of animal had pulled out the heart and died. There were no other external injuries. It was killed by one blow."

After briefly explaining the circumstances of the death, Fang Mu began to organize the wooden boxes.

The policeman sighed, and it was another unsolved headless case.

The case investigation had nothing to do with Fang Mu, Fang Mu packed up and left the crime scene.

Walking on the street with a wooden box on his shoulders, Fang Mu thought about this murder and what happened in Zhou's shop.

"Hongshang...represents merchants. The Zhou family and Butcher Zhao are both businessmen, so they can be regarded as merchants."

"There are also blood-stained copper coins, does it mean that the merchants are targeting these traders?"

With an idea in mind, Fang Mu went to the nearest street.

The street is bustling with people everywhere.

The busiest street in Jinglong County is this street, full of people doing business.

Fang Mu walked back and forth on this street with a wooden box on his shoulders.

Walking through this street, he didn't buy things, but looked at the copper coins with which they traded.

"There is no black air in this one."

"This has……"

After looking at all the vendors, a total of three stalls were found with black gas copper coins.

With Heiqi copper coins, maybe you can buy a paper figurine from a peddler, then there is a high possibility of homicide.

Fang Mu thought for a while, then left the street and returned home.

"Wait until the evening, and then go to these few places to have a look."

……

night.

The vegetable vendor Ma Er returned home, and came to his yard with a brazier, where there was also a weird paper figurine.

Open the fire folder, light the paper money in the brazier, and the strong flame will burn, and Ma Er starts to chatter.

"Father, don't come, I'll burn paper figurines for you..."

Next to it, is a weird paper man.

With a cold smile on the face of the paper figurine, taking advantage of Ma Er's nagging, he slowly stretched his hands towards Ma Er.

"what--"

The screams sounded from the yard, Ma Er saw the paper figurine, and was so frightened that he fainted.

"Got you!"

A voice sounded, Fang Mu jumped down from the fence holding the ghost thorn upside down, and slashed towards the paper figurine.

"laugh--"

The paper figurine was burned to ashes by the flame stabbed by the ghost, and a blood-stained copper coin fell to the ground.

Fang Mu picked up the blood-stained copper coin, looked at Ma Er lying on the ground, shook his head, and said to himself, "It's the third one, there's no more."

On a tree not far away, the strange bird lost its breath of life and fell to the ground.

Fang Mu took out a small cloth bag from his body, put the blood-stained copper coins in it, and made a crisp clanging sound.

There are a total of five blood-stained copper coins. This is the latest harvest, but there is no trace of the merchant.

No matter how you search, there are only those who received the blood-stained copper coins, and there are no traders.

After searching for nothing, Fang Mu put away the cloth bag and left Ma'er's house in the dark.

……

The night is getting thicker and darker, but the moon in the sky is getting brighter and brighter.

Under the silvery moonlight, Fang Mu walked in the quiet street, and his destination was his home.

Today's three vendors have been resolved, and he plans to go home and sort out his thoughts.

At this time, he heard a heavy footstep coming from behind.

"The things of the dead are not sold by the living..."

The cold voice rang out, making the scalp tingle in the dark night.

Fang Mu turned around and looked at the things behind him with great interest.

A man in black cloth was walking slowly. This man was thin and thin, as if he had only a skeleton.

A shoulder pole is slung on the shoulder, and there are two cargo boxes on both ends of the pole, dressed as a shopkeeper.

The merchant was wearing a bamboo hat and lowered his head, unable to see clearly.

"The things of the dead... the living... are not for sale..."

While walking, the merchant whispered.

"Cuckoo..."

A few strange birds descended from the sky, with emerald green eyes, perched on the merchant's pole.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy it?"

The merchant raised his head, revealing an ordinary face, but it was frighteningly white.

The two cargo boxes were opened, and they were full of items such as paper money used by the dead.

Fang Mu didn't talk nonsense, and swung out the ghost thorn in his hand.

If you can fight, you can't force it too much.

But to Fang Mu's surprise, his ghost thorn pierced through Xing Shang's body, and even the fiery red qi did not cause any damage.

"Guest officer... pick one..." Hang Shang's expression was stiff, he stared straight at Fang Mu, and the strange bird on the shoulder pole also stared straight at him.

Can't do damage?

What type of weirdness is this?

Fang Mu frowned, it was the first time he encountered something that the ghost thorn could not hurt.

"Guest officer... do you want to buy it?"

Hang Shang stared at Fang Mu and continued to speak.

Fang Mu suddenly remembered those blood-stained copper coins and took them out.

Five blood-stained copper coins appeared in his hand, stacked together.

Hang Shang's eyes were straightened, staring at the blood-stained copper coin in Fang Mu's hand, and suddenly reached out to Fang Mu, wanting to grab the blood-stained copper coin in his hand.

However, Fang Mu withdrew his hand first, leaving the merchant in the loop.

There was a hint of impatience in the eyes of the merchant, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he put two boxes in front of Fang Mu and said, "Buy..."

Fang Mu shook his head and said, "No."

After receiving Fang Mu's refusal, Hong Shang became more impatient, and the strange birds lost their lives and fell directly to the ground.

"Buy! Buy! Buy!"

The merchant made several calls in a row, wanting Fang Mu to buy the goods.

Fang Mu shook his head, he already understood the identity of the merchant.

The rules are weird!
If it's the ghost-type or the ghost-type weirdness, I'm afraid it's already done by now.

Qing Ruowu said that the rules cannot be broken by force, and the ghost thorns cannot be harmed.

The merchant in front of him seemed to want the blood-stained copper coins very much, and he was already impatient, but he didn't do it. If he wanted to use the blood-stained copper coins to buy things, there might be some rules.

"Hongshang... Hongshang, isn't it the rules of merchants?"

Fang Mu pondered for a while, and tried to communicate: "I don't like your things."

Hang Shang was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand to Fang Mu: "One...lead the way..."

Fang Mu understood the meaning of the merchant, and he wanted to give it a blood-stained copper coin, and then lead him the way. The blood-stained copper coin is equivalent to the road fee.

But... where are you going?

"Shh!"

The blood-stained copper coin drew an arc and landed in the merchant's cargo box.

The merchant greedily held the blood-stained copper coin in his hand, and took two mouthfuls.

"Hey..." Fang Mu reminded, "Lead the way."

"Snapped!"

The cargo box was closed, and the merchant picked up the burden, and began to slowly move in one direction...

Fang Mu followed behind with great interest, and one person disappeared into the night strangely...
