Old Xing nudged Li Xuan with his elbow and whispered:

"Brother Li, you have a good brain. What do you think happened that made Captain Yang make such a big fuss? He even pulled over 30 brothers from our team here."

After hearing what Old Xing said, Li Xuan looked at Captain Yang and Captain Zhao in front of him, and then whispered:

"I'm not a god, how can I know what happened?"

At this point, Li Xuan paused and continued in a smaller voice:

"However, you just said one thing wrong. It's not just the over 30 people in our team. Don't forget that we are going outside the city. Do you think Captain Yang came from Where did you get the news? "

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Old Xing also reacted, and the surprise on his face became more serious

"You mean, there is another team or even two teams waiting at our destination this time?"

Li Xuan reached out and touched the spear behind him, feeling a little more at ease, and replied:

"There should be another team, but I don't know if the situation is serious? Did the culprit escape?"

After that, Li Xuan also fell silent, thinking wildly in his heart. It seems that he can't get off duty in time today. I don't know if Aunt Lin and Shiyu will worry and forget to send someone to send a letter, but it's too late with such a short time. I hope they don't worry too much.

While Li Xuan was thinking wildly, Captain Yang led them out of the city quickly. After leaving the city, Captain Zhao next to Captain Yang left his position and waved to Li Xuan and Old Xing.

After receiving the signal, Li Xuan and the other four quickly came to Captain Zhao's side, waiting for his signal.

Captain Zhao also lowered his voice and said to them:

"Tell the brothers below not to be too nervous. We are going to Niutou Village this time. Someone there died in a strange way, but the murderer was not found, so the brothers outside the city sent the news to Yangtou. In order to prevent accidents, Yangtou asked the brothers to rush over with crossbows."

Then, Captain Zhao gave a few more instructions and asked Lao Xing and others to appease the people below.

After the appeasement, the tense atmosphere in the team was reduced a little, but few people spoke, but followed Yangtou silently.

Since the constables were at least leather refining warriors, they were very fast. After walking for about an hour, they followed Yangtou to a large village.

Just when Yangtou was about to enter the village with his men, two old men with crutches and a man in uniform came out from inside. The three of them said something to Yangtou and welcomed them in.

Since Li Xuan was not far away, he could vaguely hear something like sucking dry, medicinal materials, and dried corpses, which made him frown slightly.

Afterwards, Li Xuan and others, led by Captain Yang, entered a remote house in the village.

After arriving at the destination, Captain Zhao waved his hand and took Li Xuan and three team leaders into the house with Captain Yang. This made the man next to him look at him in surprise, but he didn't say anything.

After they went in, Li Xuan glanced at the room and found that it was just an ordinary house, with only some herbs placed in some corners, which seemed to be for drying the herbs in the shade so that they could be sold later.

After Li Xuan and others entered the room, the uniformed man bowed to Captain Yang and said respectfully:

"Captain Yang, I have learned some of the situation here, let me tell you."

Captain Yang frowned slightly and said:

"Where is the victim? Has the coroner performed an autopsy?"

The man pointed to the inner room and said:

"It's on the bed in the inner room. I have learned some things and have done a simple autopsy. If you want the details, you still have to wait for the coroner to come."

Captain Yang nodded expressionlessly and continued:

"Tell me about the situation first, and I will make my own judgment."

The man nodded and said:

"This The victim was a man, about 30 years old, living alone. He usually made a living by hunting and collecting herbs. His income was not bad. He was an expert in collecting herbs in the village and was considered a wealthy man in the village. "

Hearing the man's words, Captain Yang nodded and asked:

"Why didn't he get married? Doesn't the village Li Zheng care?"

The man shook his head and said:

"I have asked this too. This man has a bad temper and doesn't have a good relationship with the people in the village. If he didn't need to go up the mountain to collect herbs, he might not live in this village. Li Zheng also advised him twice, but he was indifferent, so he didn't care about him anymore."

Captain Yang nodded in understanding and tookHe went to the inner room and saw a bed. On the bed, there was something covered by a white sheet. The thing looked like a person, but it was much thinner than an ordinary person, just like a skinny person lying inside.

The man continued to introduce:

"The death of this man was too horrible. Anyone who saw it was scared. In order to reduce panic, he was covered up."

Hearing the man's words, Li Xuan poked his head over there, wanting to see what was going on.

Captain Yang satisfied Li Xuan's curiosity. Just as Li Xuan was looking over there, Captain Yang also took off the white sheet, revealing the body underneath.

The moment he saw the body, Li Xuan felt his scalp tingling, the hairs all over his body stood up, and his heart felt like it stopped beating for a moment.

The main reason was that the body was too horrifying. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a mummy.

The sparse hair has fallen off, the skin is wrinkled and dry, and it seems that there is no muscle on the body. There are protruding bones under the skin, which makes people feel scared when they see it.

Captain Yang frowned when he saw the body, and then asked:

"Have you done a simple check and found out the cause of death?"

The man was still a little uncomfortable when he saw the body again, and said with a somewhat ugly face:

"After inspection, there was no wound on the body of the deceased, not injured by external force, and there was no trace of sexual intercourse in the lower genitals, so it should not be caused by someone practicing magic.

Besides, the body of the deceased seemed to be sucked clean, even the bones were crispy, and they would break with a slight press.

According to the magic I know, none of them are so domineering."

Looking at the ugly man, Captain Yang said in a deep voice:

"Tell me your guess, I have almost guessed it."

The man's voice was a little hoarse, and he said with some difficulty:

"Monster, it should be a big monster committing a crime, otherwise, it would not cause such an exaggerated effect."
