Bai Yutang looked at the picture, Zhan Zhao was holding the fourth son, and the White Dragon King was shaking his sleeves.

Originally, the four of them thought that they might be able to get out of this dense forest, but who knew that He Wanfeng's character was not only as pragmatic as He Yihang, but also very motherly like He Yihang.

The old man's puzzles were solved one after another. At the same time, Zhan Zhao's special skills were triggered again... The corpse arrived late but...

I saw a mummy sitting against a tree in front of me. This corpse looked very strange. It was brown all over, wearing a rag robe, and a mask hanging around its neck. It was the mask of a one-eyed mountain demon. The mask was still attached.

Wearing a gray-white hood, but the hair under the hood is black, and there is a cane stuck next to it.

This costume, the costume of the deceased, should be that of the legendary one-eyed mountain demon.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt tired when they saw the corpse, and there was no end to it!

The White Dragon King couldn't help complaining, "He Wanfeng is so annoying! What does this mean? Are you asking you to solve a murder case for him or something?"

The fourth son was also very annoyed. He leaned on Zhan Zhao’s shoulder with a pout and sighed. He should have gone to watch Xiao Liangzi and the others play football.

The four of them stood facing a mummy, their heads full of "annoyance" and they didn't want to care!

Seeing that the three little ones all looked depressed, the White Dragon King suggested, "How about we go around it? You don't have to take care of everything, and you're not a Bodhisattva. And this person is probably pretending to be a good boy from a mountain demon.

Those who do bad things deserve to die."

Both Xiao Sizi and Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was a little confused, and looked at the mummy that had been sitting under the tree for who knows how many years, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, didn't we already pick up one in the ditch just now? One was picked up two

Tools are also picked up..."

After saying that, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, as if asking for his opinion.

In fact, Fifth Master had already guessed that Zhan Zhao would definitely take care of it. No matter how annoying he was, he would take care of it because he was Zhan Zhao.

Fifth Master nodded, "Since He Wanfeng wants to investigate, it might be a clue. Aren't we just here for the mountain demon?"

The fourth son also corrected his attitude - are we from Kaifeng Mansion? If there is a case, we still need to investigate!

Zhan Zhao carried Xiao Sizi over to see the corpse.

The fourth child touched his chin, looked it over, and pointed at the hemp rope hanging around the body's neck.

Bai Yutang and White Dragon King both raised their faces and looked at the tree behind the deceased. The tree was very tall, and the highest branch was probably more than ten feet above the ground.

"Did he hang himself?" The White Dragon King was quite interested in the mask, but he didn't dare to take it off directly. Aren't the yamen not allowed to touch the corpse until the cause of death was found out? The old man was much better behaved than Tianzun Yinhou, so he left

He took a step away from the body and looked around.

Sitting on Zhan Zhao's arm, the fourth son looked up and concluded, "This man definitely didn't hang himself!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked, "Are you sure?"

The fourth son pointed at the neck of the corpse, "If it was hanged and fell, why is the neck not deformed at all? And seeing how thick the hemp rope is, the hemp rope and the neck must have broken first!"

Zhan Zhao nodded—that’s it.

Bai Yutang and White Dragon King shook their heads behind them. Such a cute dumpling made some scary remarks when he opened his mouth.

"And this person is sitting." Xiao Sizi pointed to the posture of the corpse, "How could it be possible that after death, he fell from a high place and happened to be sitting down."

Zhan Zhao shook the dumpling and asked, "Then what was the cause of his death?"

The fourth child stared at the mummy for a while, then scratched his head and said, "Hmm..."

The three of them all stared at Tuanzi.

The fourth son said "hmm" for a long time, then leaned on Zhan Zhao's shoulder, "I found that my condition today is not very good..."

The three adults were all helpless—that is, they couldn’t see it?!

The fourth son pouted and said, "Let dad come and see it, I guess he can tell."

"Can we deduce how long the person has been dead?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The fourth son was a little embarrassed, "Generally if a corpse is exposed to the weather and the sun, it won't take long for only the bones to remain, just like the one in the ravine. But the climate here is very special and humid, so the corpse has waxed."

It feels a bit like an ancient corpse or a corpse sealed in a swamp."

The three of them all looked at him - Hey, he knows a lot!

The terrain and climate in this forest are quite complicated. After all, the fourth son is still young, so he still has to rely on Gongsun at this time.

Zhan Zhao and the others entered the forest and did not know that Gongsun and Zhao Pu were already outside. They were all in a dilemma. In addition, the unlucky forest had to take the road of "going there and never coming back".

"Huh? The White Dragon King tilted his head and looked behind the corpse, "Does this person have a tail?"

"Tail?" Everyone came over to take a look out of curiosity.

Zhan Zhao gave the dumpling to Bai Yutang, picked up a branch, and pushed the corpse to one side... He saw a bundle behind the corpse, and a piece of animal skin was exposed in the bundle, which looked like a fox tail...

Zhan Zhao picked out the baggage and opened it. Everyone felt their eyes were dazzled...

I saw several strips of particularly precious animal skins in the bag, as well as a small bag. The small bag was torn, and inside were various gems and jade... The texture was excellent, and it looked like a priceless treasure at first glance.

Among this large bundle of valuable "treasures", there is another strange-looking item - a pair of thick-soled shoes.

These shoes are quite strange, like some kind of cloth shoes, but the soles are thick in the front and thin in the back, making it feel like you can only walk on tiptoes while wearing them.

"This is a thief..." Zhan Zhao took the pair of shoes and seemed to understand, "These shoes are what thieves like to wear when they go out to steal at night, because they make no sound when walking on tiptoes."

"Look here!" The fourth son suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the back of the corpse's head.

Because it was moved away by Zhan Zhao, the back of the body was also exposed.

The fourth son found something on the back of the body's head, which seemed to be a broken piece of wood.

Zhan Zhao pinched the wood and pulled it out, pulling out half of the arrow.

"So this man was killed by an arrow in the back of his head?" Bai Yutang looked at the arrow, "It's not an iron arrow, it's a stone..."

"It's still Yuhuite!" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised when he saw the lines in the stone, "I didn't expect it to be used not only for decorations and keys, but also for weapons..."

"The arrowhead and the arrow body look very rough." Mr. Wu took a closer look and found that there was a symbol engraved on the arrowhead, which looked like the word "人"...

"Cat." Bai Yutang gestured to Zhan Zhao to take a look.

Zhan Zhao also discovered it, opened the baggage he was carrying, and took out the wooden box they found under the bed in the inn... The symbol for "人" engraved on the wooden box was exactly the same as the one engraved on the arrow.

"Could it be that the person pretending to be a mountain demon was a thief, and then he was shot to death with an arrow, and finally his body was dumped here?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why did he fake it and hang himself, and then not get back the stolen treasures?

"

As more and more mysteries are investigated, Zhan Zhao and the others have no choice but to continue walking according to the markings on the map.

But every time you go to a place marked with eyes, you will find another corpse. These corpses are all dressed in the same way, and they all wear troll masks. And they have some treasures on them. The corpses are all in the state of mummified wax, and

They were all sitting under a tree, with hemp ropes around their necks and arrows in fatal parts of their bodies.

Gradually, Fifth Master thought about it and realized, "The place marked by the eyes on the map... is the mechanism!"

"Mechanism?" White Dragon King and Zhan Zhao both came over to take a look.

"And this mechanism will only be activated if you run from the opposite direction to us... So He Wanfeng reminded us that we will never come back if we go there." The fifth master analyzed, "These people were hit by the mechanism first and were hung up by the noose around their necks.

On the tree, and then shot to death by flying arrows. After the mechanism is released, the noose will fall. Because it does not fall directly, but hangs on the noose and slides down the tree pole, it will appear that the person is sitting on the tree.

The state under the tree.

Zhan Zhao and the White Dragon King both thought the explanation made sense, but who set up the mechanism? These thieves all wore masks of the one-eyed mountain demon, and they also carried property and animal skins... Where did they steal it?

While the four were studying, the White Dragon King suddenly turned around. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also heard footsteps coming from behind...and then heard the fourth son shouting, "Daddy!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both turned around and saw the Demon King coming in with a few old men and Zhao Pu Gongsun. Two other people came in at the same time, one was from the restaurant owner, and the other was a child... who was the restaurant owner's family.

's children.

Everyone was a little confused - how did they get in?

The Demon King smiled slightly, reached out and touched the child's head, "He led the way."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and suddenly had an idea. They put the fourth child on the ground.

Because he was afraid that the fourth son would get separated, after entering the forest, the little fourth son was held in his arms without his feet touching the ground... Now that he was on the ground, the little dumpling looked back and forth and found that the scene above him was actually floating on the ground.

Half of it.

"Oops." The fourth child felt that all his efforts were in vain. He should have known better to take a few steps down to the ground.

The kid from the restaurant owner's family was a few years older than the fourth son and not very tall. He came over and said to the fourth son, "In this forest, only children and small animals can come and go without getting lost or falling into traps."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood immediately, and they asked together, "So the one-eyed mountain demon kidnapped children... in order to pass through this forest?"

The Demon King and several old men nodded and pointed at the restaurant owner.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were still puzzled. The White Dragon King also asked Tianzun what was going on with them.

…

It turned out that Demon King and his group had been waiting outside for a while, but they didn't see any movement in the forest.

Gongsun was worried about his son's impatience. The soy sauce team was all sleepy, and the Demon King was a little impatient with waiting. "Little White Dragon is still so honest..."

Finally, Yin Hou ran and captured the restaurant owner.

The shopkeeper let Yin Hou take one look and said everything. What's interesting is... things are different from what everyone had guessed before.
