Chapter 16: Murder in Tianmen Village (more updates, please collect monthly tickets!)
  The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.

By the time Chen Yan and Liu Laodao arrived at Tianmen Village, it was already noon.

Before he even got close, Chen Yan saw Zhao Gang leading two police officers to greet him from a distance at the entrance of the village. Beside Zhao Gang was an old man with a sweaty face and a rich look on his face.

When Liu Laodao and Liu Laodao approached, Zhao Gang took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted:
  "Master Liu."

After saying that, Zhao Gang glanced at Chen Yan behind Lao Dao in confusion, as if he was wondering why Chen Yan appeared here.

"He will be my assistant from now on."

Liu Laodao waved his hand and explained, then asked: "How is it? What is the situation in Tianmen Village now?"

Seeing what Liu Laodao said, Zhao Gang didn't want to ask any more questions, so he told him what he knew about the situation in Tianmen Village:

"According to a humble investigation, Tianmen Village has a population of more than 130 households. In the past three months, a total of six murders have occurred."

"Six? Why are there so many?"

Liu Laodao frowned when he heard this, and Chen Yan on the side was shocked.

After all, there were only five cases in such a large Shanxi Town, but now there were actually six cases in this small Tianmen Village. Counting at least nearly twenty or thirty people died tragically, how could they not be surprised.

Zhao Gang glanced sideways at the old man who was sweating profusely and said coldly:
  "It was all because Muramasa Takahiro of Tianmen Village refused to report the crime, which led to such a catastrophe."

The old man on the side immediately fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing and begging for mercy with a cry:
  "My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy on me!"

However, both Liu Laodao and Chen Yan had expressionless faces and could not feel any sympathy for the seemingly pitiful old man.

Even without guessing, you can know that the Muramasa of Tianmen Village must have hidden the murder case out of his own selfish interests and worried that his political performance would be affected. He thought that it would be a big deal and turned it into a trivial matter, but he did not expect that the murder was caused by evil spirits. Because, it got out of hand.

"Spare your life? If you weren't afraid of dirtying my hands, I would kill you right now!"

Liu Laodao gave Tianmen Village a cold look and stopped paying attention, and continued towards Zhao Gang:
  "Where is the latest murder case? Let me take a look first."

"Yes! Sir, please come with me."

Zhao Gang took the order and led two detectives to lead the way, followed closely by Liu Laodao and Chen Yan. They quickly left the entrance of the village, leaving Muramasa and Taka lying on the ground with a pale face and eyes blank.

Walking on the village road in Tianmen Village, Chen Yan discovered that even though it was broad daylight, the doors of every house in Tianmen Village were closed. Occasionally, some people opened the cracks in the doors to observe secretly. When Chen Yan and the others approached, another door banged immediately. The door closed with a bang.

Obviously, the occurrence of six massacres has frightened the villagers of Tianmen Village. To say that people are panic-stricken is an understatement.

After a while, under the leadership of Zhao Gang, Chen Yan and the others arrived at a house surrounded by a courtyard wall made of yellow mud. There were already policemen guarding the door.

Before he got close, Chen Yan could smell a strong smell of blood from a distance, which was exactly the same as the smell of blood he smelled when he was in Ping'an Fang.

Chen Yan was convinced when he smelled the strong smell of blood, because only a skinned puppet that ate flesh and blood could cause so much blood to splatter.

Entering the courtyard, it was as expected.

What you can see is a shocking amount of blood. The blood almost spreads throughout the entire courtyard. The dirty blood is even mixed with the remains of internal organs and minced meat. The pungent smell of blood mixed with the fishy stench is so nauseating that it even follows. The two detectives behind Zhao Gang both looked pale.

"Mr. Liu, judging from the traces of blood at the scene, the murder should be similar to the real culprit in the five murder cases in Shanxi Town. The time occurred roughly at midnight last night."

Zhao Gang has seen many such scenes, but he can keep his face straight.

"Is it midnight last night?"

Liu Laodao nodded slightly and narrowed his eyes: "Then it seems that this beast can't run very far."

After saying that, he took out a Chonglong Jade Talisman and held it in his hand, chanting a mantra:
  "Disciple Liu Fujing, please help me, Master Chonglongyu Daowei. I am as urgent as the law!" After performing the Taoist technique, Liu Laodao, whose nose was enlarged, sniffed fiercely in the small courtyard.

At the end, the old Taoist's eyes suddenly opened, a flash of light flashed past, and there was a trace of ferocity on his face:
  "What a beast! He's still in the village!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Laodao suddenly escaped out of the door like a wisp of breeze, and everyone in the courtyard only had time to see an afterimage.

What a great speed!

Chen Yan was also shocked, and was shocked by the speed at which Lao Dao showed up. However, Chen Yan was a Qi and Blood martial artist, and the Blood Fiend Sword Technique strengthened his eyesight, allowing him to barely see Lao Dao's figure clearly.

So Chen Yan also moved and followed closely behind Liu Laodao.

The two of them walked very fast, and in a short time they came from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and stopped in front of a farmhouse. The layout of the farmhouse was similar to that of the previous one, with earthen walls and wooden doors.

"anyone there!"

Liu Laodao shouted and patted the door, making a banging sound, but the door was closed tightly and no one opened the door for a long time.

With a gloomy expression on his face, the old man no longer hesitated, raised his leg and kicked towards the door.

"boom!"

The door opened, revealing a farmer's household behind it. The couple were protecting their children and looked at Chen Yan and Chen Yan who broke in through the door with fearful expressions on their faces.

However, Liu Laodao had no time to pay attention at this time. He stood in the courtyard and sniffed the air with his huge nose.

"It's really here!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, Liu Laodao sneered, walked straight to the backyard.

Chen Yan signaled to the farmer and his family not to worry, and followed him. In a moment, the two of them came to a pig pen in the backyard.

In the pig pen, a fat old sow was feeding her piglets. When she saw Chen Yan and the others suddenly arriving, she looked horrified.

On Chen Yan's shoulder, Fa Cai lowered himself, breathed at the old sow, and growled menacingly.

Seeing Fa Cai's appearance, Chen Yan glanced at the old sow warily, subconsciously stepped back half a step, opened a safe distance, and held the handle of the Fish Dragon Knife with his right hand, ready to unsheath it at any time.

Liu Laodao on the side even sneered, raised his eyebrows, and said sternly:
  "You are so bold, you evildoer! Why don't you do it quickly!"

After he finished speaking, the old Taoist took out a piece of bright yellow talisman paper, with cinnabar outlines on the talisman paper and gold edges on the outside.

The old Taoist holds the talisman paper in his hand, draws it forward, activates the magic power, and chants a mantra in his mouth:

"Heavenly evil is brilliant, earthly evil is square; evil spirits and hundreds of ghosts, how dare they hide!"

Whoosh!
  The Evil-Breaking Appearance Talisman came out of his hand and hit the old sow.

In an instant, a large amount of black smoke spewed out, accompanied by a sharp roar.

Chen Yan looked closely and saw an old sow somewhere in the pig pen. It was clearly a hideous and ugly skinned puppet with teeth like files!
  "Roar!"

The skinned puppet roared, leaped up, and rushed towards Chen Yan and the two.

That fierce speed was actually three points faster than the two skinned puppets Chen Yan encountered last night!
