Chapter 107 Murder
In the middle of the night, because it started to snow, the shops and houses on the road had all closed their doors.

Chu Zheng was walking on the street, and the temple hair on his forehead was covered with some crushed snow.

He looked at the yard in the distance, lost in thought.

That yard is the house where he lives.

At this time, in Chu Zheng's mind, he suddenly recalled the abnormal situation that occurred when refining Zengyuan Pill today.

Fifteen furnaces of pills were refined, but only the first furnace succeeded.

The next fourteen furnaces, without exception, were all scrapped.

Chu Zheng thought it might be a coincidence before, but now that he has experienced some things, he has come back to his senses.

If it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.

Chu Zheng pondered for a while, and then began to walk around the yard.

Because of the snow, the streets here have been covered, and the surrounding ground has been stained with a layer of white.

But because of intention, Chu Zheng found something wrong in one place.

In one alley position, the ground is somewhat sunken compared to other positions.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Zheng frowned.

His speculation seemed to be becoming a reality.

He walked over, squatted down on this uneven place, and brushed away the snowflakes.

As the snowflakes pushed aside, Chu Zheng discovered something strange.

In the alleys here, a lot of the soil has already been stepped on, and the soil on it is black.

But the soil in front of him was yellow, obviously new soil.

If others see this, I'm afraid they won't care so much.

But Chu Zheng had to think more about it after going through alchemy and waste.

"Someone is deliberately hiding their traces. Could it be that someone really died here?" Chu Zheng frowned when he saw this new layer of soil.

It is not a good thing for him to have someone committing murder nearby.

You must know that his sister is just an ordinary person, and has not practiced martial arts.

Then, Chu Zheng pushed aside the fine snow nearby, and sure enough, he saw many traces of the old soil being peeled off.

This also made him feel more uneasy.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng's eyes froze, and he looked at one place.

He stretched out his hand and broke off a layer of old soil on the surface.

As the old soil was broken apart, a small black blood stain was exposed at the corner between the new soil and the old soil.

The corner of Chu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally only guessed that there was a murder case near him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Do you want to tell Xu Rong about this?" Chu Zheng pondered for a moment, then denied this idea.

Now he still doesn't know who the murderer is, and looking for Xu Rong now, it is very likely that the murderer will be remembered.

In addition, Chu Zheng also felt that when this person killed someone, he would also clean up the scene of the crime, and it was probably not an impulsive killing.

But vendetta, love and so on.

For such a person, he has no enmity with the other party, and the other party should not make trouble for him.

Of course, if this person killed someone conditionally, that's another story.

But it's better to wait for a while to see if there is any news of the deceased nearby.

Chu Zheng shook his head, stood up, stretched out his feet, and stepped the small pool of dark blood into the mud.

No matter who this person is, if he dares to disturb his life, he must look good on him!
When Chu Zheng arrived at the courtyard, it was pitch black all around.

At the same time, he suddenly saw a faint oil lamp in his house, emitting a subtle light in the dark night.

Chu Zheng paused for a moment, then walked towards the house.

Then he saw his elder sister sleeping in front of the table, covered with a quilt.

Chu Zheng sighed softly and stepped forward.

"Hmm..." Chu Qingqing seemed to be aware of the movement, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Zheng'er, you're back." When she saw Chu Zheng, she immediately smiled.

"Sister, I don't need to wait here. It's so cold, what if I freeze." Chu Zheng said helplessly.

He felt that his elder sister didn't care about his body too much. She was like this when she was in the wild, and she wanted to eat the good ones for herself.Thinking about helping myself carry more things.

"It's okay, I'm covered with a quilt." Chu Qingqing said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, pointing to the quilt on her back.

"Sister, it's snowing outside." Chu Zheng shook his head.

"Is it snowing?" Chu Qingqing was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and looked out the window.

Outside, it was so dark that she couldn't see clearly, but she could feel the chill in it.

Winter was originally her first day, because she was able to see the white snow that she hadn't seen for a long time.

But it was not until this disaster that she realized the ruthlessness of winter.

"How many people will die?" Chu Qingqing had the same thoughts as Chu Zheng.

"Sister, go and rest." Chu Zheng patted the dazed Chu Qingqing and said.

"Well, you should go to bed early too." Chu Qingqing nodded, stood up, and walked into the room.

But halfway through, she paused for a moment, looked at Chu Zheng, opened her mouth, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, sister." Chu Zheng looked at Chu Qingqing with some doubts.

"It's nothing." Chu Qingqing shook her head, "You should come back early in the future, it's not safe if it's too late."

Chu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Well, I will be careful."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Sister, you should also be more careful. If you encounter any strange people, you can tell me. It's almost Chinese New Year recently, and the neighborhood may not be peaceful."

"Yeah." Chu Qingqing nodded and walked into the room.

After entering the room, she was lying on the bed, her eyes staring at the beams, but she was no longer sleepy.

Originally, she was planning to tell Chu Zheng about her murder today.

But she thought of her mother-in-law's entrustment, and the other party told her not to tell anyone, including her own brother, about this matter.

"Grandma Yu..." Chu Qingqing murmured in her heart.

She was discovered after she killed someone, and she fell into panic, even thinking of the scene where she would be beheaded in the future.

But, who knows, it was Granny Yu who saw her murder.

This left her in a state of confusion.

In particular, Chu Qingqing saw Granny Yu's familiar handling of the scene and transported the body away.

Even more confused.

It never occurred to her that the old woman who had to watch for a long time while threading was so proficient in the work of eliminating corpses and traces.

"It'll be fine." What Granny Yu said at the beginning rang in her ears.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingqing immediately felt relieved, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell into a dreamland not long after.

Chu Zheng, who was outside the house, was sitting on the bed, looking at the oil lamp in front of him, and was silent for a while.

For some reason, Chu Zheng felt that his sister seemed to be hiding something from him.

Then, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

If my sister wanted to say something, she would definitely say it.

It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't say anything, or if there is something unspeakable, you can ask your sister-in-law tomorrow.

Immediately, Chu Zheng washed up, blew out the oil lamp, and went to bed.

The entire courtyard was plunged into darkness.

At this moment, on the eaves, a huge black figure suddenly stood up.

In the darkness, a pair of pitch-black pupils appeared.

"Really...and..." It made a hoarse and weird cry.

Seeming to feel something was wrong, it stopped and murmured again.

"It's... well..."

It shook its head violently, then continued to bark.

It's just that its voice gradually became thinner.

"It's... son..."

"Zheng'er...you're back..."

In the dark night, Chu Qingqing's voice appeared strangely.

It seemed that he was calling Chu Zheng hastily, as if he had encountered some danger.

It seemed a little satisfied, stood up, stepped across the roof, and ran towards other houses.

In the darkness, a layer of black and yellow fur was only slightly revealed, and then disappeared.

As it left, in the house, a pair of red glazed eyes also looked away.

In the room, Li Hongchen looked at Chu Zheng who was lying on the bed expressionlessly. His pitch-black hair slowly squirmed, climbed onto the bed, wrapped around Chu Zheng's neck, and then slowly strangled him like a python. tight.

"Hmm..." Chu Zheng's face gradually turned red, and veins began to appear on his forehead.

However, for some reason, at this moment, he had no intention of waking up at all.

On the other hand, Li Hongchen was still staring at him with an expression on his face, showing no intention of stopping.

It wasn't until Chu Zheng's face turned purple that his hair slowly fell away.

Immediately, Li Hongchen sat on the edge of the bed, slightly bent his body, and approached Chu Zheng, strands of pure zhenqi entered his body along Chu Zheng's mouth.

 The yang must be yang. My uncle went to test it and he was positive.

  I don't go out very much recently... I just sleep in bed, day and night are reversed.

  If you're hungry, eat next to yourself.

  For takeaway, I don't order anymore, for fear of collecting another card.

  At the same time, I don't want to infect others.

  By the way, I feel much better today. I don't have a fever anymore, and my head doesn't hurt much anymore.

  I just can't stop coughing...

  Itchy lungs and throat...

  It hurts so hard,

  I hope everyone pays attention to it, so as not to get infected.

  Don't think xg is a trivial matter.

  Some people in xg said it was a large flu, so they didn't take it to heart.

  You know, the flu itself is more serious than a cold.

  Not to mention the big flu.

  So pay more attention, especially the elderly at home, and those with underlying diseases.

  Otherwise it will be troublesome.

  2022 is about to pass, and I wish everyone good health next year.

  ps: 2500 today, try 4000 tomorrow
