Holy Bone

Chapter 47 Absurdity
Feng Zhaotou did not expect Jin An to guess the whole story so quickly.

A surprised expression appeared on his face.

but.

Recalling that Young Master Jin'an broke the "Lei Gong Chopping Corpse Case" and "Drowning Case", Feng Zhaotou immediately felt relieved.

……

"That's why I hurriedly disturbed Young Master Jin An and Taoist Master Chen and brought you to Zheng Zhaotou's house this morning."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the real objects in front of me, it would be hard for me to believe these things. After all... this thing is too absurd."

Feng Zhaotou let out a deep breath with lingering fears, and talked about what happened to him after the farewell last night.

original.

After Feng Zhaotou returned last night, he made up his mind to investigate his colleagues, and immediately found a few trusted confidants.

Then separate a few people and horses.

He went all the way to watch Zheng Yuanhu's every move at the Wenwu Temple.

All the way to check the account book and investigate all the relationships around Zheng Yuanhu.

All the way to staring at Zheng Yuanhu's house for any trouble.

Even, Feng Zhaotou personally took the risk. Taking advantage of Chen Shi, the old concierge from Zheng Yuanhu's house went out to buy vegetables. When the house was empty, he personally sneaked into Zheng Yuanhu's house to investigate.

Because facing a master like Zheng Yuanhu, no one knew what would happen, so Feng Zhaotou did not worry about letting those yamen who could only catch ordinary gamblers and ruffians sneak into Zheng Yuanhu's house to investigate.In order to avoid the failure of the action and startle the snake, Zheng Yuanhu has a vigilant heart.

Feng Zhaotou's infiltration went smoothly.

After he confirmed that there was indeed no one in Zheng Yuanhu's house, he went straight to Zheng Yuanhu's main house to investigate.

The result was just as Jin An had guessed, Feng Zhaotou found something unusual in Zheng Yuanhu's room, and his heart was filled with chills. Then he made a decisive decision, took control of the old guard, and forced the old guard to ask if Zheng Jutou had been different recently?
Without being frightened, that old guard man had never seen so many yamen officers just to arrest him, so he revealed everything.

In fact, the old guard had already begun to suspect Zheng Zhaotou.

But he is just a servant, he will do whatever his master asks him to do.Talking about your tongue and looking at it with blind eyes is a big taboo, and it will not end well in the end.

According to the confession of the old concierge, this matter started about ten days ago.

Once when he was cleaning the yard after Zheng Zuotou went out, he smelled a very faint smell of dead meat from Zheng Zuotou's room, like dead pork stinks after a few days.

But Zheng Zuotou had a lot of rules and the door was locked. He couldn't get in. He just thought that Zheng Zuotou bought the pork and forgot to take it to the kitchen.

So he wasn't suspicious at first.

But for two or three days in a row, every time he cleaned the yard, as long as he was close to Zheng Chuotou's room, he would smell the stench of dead pork.

But Zheng Zhou's head was like he couldn't smell the stench in the room, and the dead pork had been kept in the room without taking it away.

It's not a big deal for the old concierge to see it like this. If the dead pork is really rotten, then throw it away quickly. Now that the temperature is getting warmer, there are more mosquitoes and flies.But at that time, Zheng Zhaotou was out early every day and returned to investigate the case late, and he couldn't even greet him.

Later, he went to bed early and woke up early. Before dawn, he finally waited for Zheng Zhaotou, who was about to go out.

The old concierge brought this up.

At that time, Zheng Zhaotou didn't have much reaction.

Just say yes, he will throw away the dead pork in the room.

But it's strange to say that the old man in the concierge who finally arrived at Zheng Zuotou that day actually smelled the stench of dead pork that was stronger than that in the room from close range on Zheng Zuotou...

But since that day, the strange smell in Zheng Zhaotou's room finally disappeared.The old man in the doorman thought that the smell of dead pork he smelled on Zheng Chutou yesterday happened to be just as he was about to throw away the dead pork, although he did not see any dead pork on Zheng Chutou that day.It wasn't until Feng Zhaotou came to the door that the old concierge, who was a little old-fashioned, knew the real reason, and almost scared him without kicking his legs straight...

After the strange smell in Zheng Zuotou's room disappeared, the strong smell of women's rouge and fragrant powder began to come out every day in Zheng Zuotou's room.

At first, the old concierge thought that after he fell asleep, a woman in Zheng Jutou, who went out early and returned late every day, came back for the night.But within a few days, he discovered that Zheng Zhaotou's personality had changed drastically, and he liked to use women's rouge on his face, neck, and hands... Every day, he had to paint it white before going out.

And it also started to have a strong powdery smell.

Zheng Zhaotou, who has a tiger-backed shoulder, is more coquettish than a woman...

……

When Feng Zhaotou said this, he paused for a while, and then continued in a calm voice: "According to the words of the old concierge, Zheng Zhaotou's temperament has changed greatly, and it was only after he returned from Shangpan Village to destroy Li Dashan's accomplices. ."

"And there is another biggest doubt. The old man in the concierge said that Zheng Zhaotou goes out early and returns late every day to handle cases, but I have asked the brothers in the yamen. In the past few days, there are no cases in the yali that have been handed over to Zheng Zhaotou."

"So, there is a blank period of time. Where did Zheng Zhaotou go during the day?"

"I asked the other yamen who were in charge of watching over the Wenwu Temple...Zheng Zaitou almost left the protection work to his deputy, saying that he had reached the most critical moment in his practice and needed to retreat, and it was strictly forbidden to disturb him. Lock yourself in the house from morning to night and don't go out."

"Since he came back from Shangpan Village, Zheng Zhaotou's temperament has changed drastically. He hardly sees anyone during the day. All kinds of signs make Feng Mou have to think about the power of ghosts and gods..."

"That's why I invited the two of you today to see if Zheng Zhaotou is now... is he a human? Or is he dead? Is there any chance to rescue Zheng Zhaotou?"

Feng Zhaotou said this with a complicated expression on his face.

It is a kind of loneliness of a hero cherishing a hero.

In any case, he and Zheng Zatou have been friends for several years. Zheng Zatou's force is not too weak, but he is such a master that he will die if he wants to die...

The key is to die in the hands of strange evil spirits, and die in an unclear manner.

After listening to Feng Zhaotou's words, the old Taoist changed into a solemn expression and began to carefully inspect the corners of Zheng Yuanhu's room.

And in this gap, Jin An looked thoughtful.

He had seen a similar story in "Guang Ping You Said Synaesthesia", and the strange story was called "Ghost Breathing".

"Master Jin'an, what's the clue?" Feng Zhaotou was the best at detecting people's colors. He saw that Jin'an might have found something, so he asked in a soft voice, worried that Jin'an's thoughts would be interrupted.

Jin An thought for a while, organized the language, and then said: "I wonder if you have heard the ghost gasp?"

"Probably means that people who die unjustly and in vain will have a suffocation in their throats after death, which is also called resentment in some places. After death, there is a suffocation in the throat, so people after death cannot breathe. , inhale, only the living can breathe."

"That's why Zheng Zhaotou didn't smell the strange smell at first, until after being reminded by the concierge, he bought rouge and incense powder to cover up the corpse odor on his body. Because the dead can't breathe, naturally they can't smell their own odor. Corpse gas!"

Jin An continued with a slightly condensed brow: "I think Zheng Zhaotou has already died from the very beginning. I hope Feng Zhaotou will not have more illusions."

"The current Zheng Zhaotou is nothing but an evil corpse possessed by something. He continues to pretend to be an adult and continues to trace the trajectory of Zheng Zhaotou's life before his death, so that everyone can lower their guard against him."

Will it be possessed by paper stickers again?

In Jin An's heart, there was actually one more sentence that he didn't say.

"Feng Zhaotou has something to think about next, how to deal with Zheng Zhaotou, the inner ghost?" Jin An looked at Feng Zhaotou.
