Shopkeeper Liu and Judge Wu didn't say a word, and they didn't even have to drive the donkey cart. They just walked forward silently at night.
It was just before eleven o'clock that we finally arrived in town.
The town is not big and there is only one main road.
It takes less than half an hour to walk from the easternmost point to the westernmost point.
Therefore, shopkeeper Liu took a donkey cart and easily found the location of Liu Erga's breakfast shop.
Due to the recent murder, a cordon has been set up around the entire yard.
The spot where Jiu Mengzi died was also circled with white ash on the ground.
All this looked even more bizarre under the pale moonlight.
Shopkeeper Liu stopped the donkey cart and said to Judge Wu with a smile.
"I still need to trouble you, sir, to help the old man carry the coffin down for me."
"This body...hey, it's really powerless."
Judge Wu nodded slightly when he heard the words, and used his arms thicker than an adult's thighs to exert force. After he unloaded the heavy black coffin from the donkey cart, he placed it in the corner with a clatter.
Shopkeeper Liu thanked him profusely, and then gently patted the old donkey pulling the cart.
"Old man, you should go back first, this place is too evil."
"If...if I haven't come home by tomorrow noon, then you don't have to wait."
"Find a place deep in the mountains to practice hard, and hide away from wolves, tigers, and leopards. If you encounter any obstacles that you cannot overcome, go to the deaf woman's small courtyard for help."
As Shopkeeper Liu spoke, he gently stroked the old donkey's messy fur with his hands, wrapped a stack of folded paper figures in cloth, and gently placed them on the donkey's back.
It looked like an old friend who was thousands of miles apart and was about to part ways, and who might never see him again in this life.
"Hey, old man, you have been with me all your life, and I have nothing to give you."
"These are some gadgets I made at random. Bring them with you for self-defense."
The old donkey has a deep understanding of human nature, and his eyes filled with tears when he heard this.
He knelt down with his front hooves, kowtowed three times to Shopkeeper Liu, and then slowly disappeared into the night with his head turned three times step by step.
Seeing his old buddy leave, Shopkeeper Liu subconsciously took a deep breath to suppress his inner uneasiness.
He turned around and said to Judge Wu with a smile.
"Sir, it's easier for me and you to do things now with only you."
After saying that, he pulled the sinister man to the black coffin in the corner, took out a piece of painted paper wall from the cloth bag and waved it in the wind.
The paper wall immediately burst into flames, and as it burned out, it actually formed a transparent "barrier" in front of Shopkeeper Liu.
From the perspective of an outsider, this person and a ghost appear to have disappeared out of thin air under the cover of the transparent wall.
Judge Wu sighed greatly when he saw this.
"The wall of darkness covers the eyes of ghosts, senior, it's a good trick!"
"It's a small trick, but it made the judge laugh." Shopkeeper Liu said as he took out two more paper stools, placed them on the ground, and stood upright as if they were real.
After he sat down first, he called Judge Wu to sit down.
"Okay, I've done everything I need to do."
"We brothers will take a closer look today to see what is so evil!"
Judge Wu naturally nodded in agreement.
"Everything is based on the instructions of the seniors."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled secretly when he saw Judge Wu's respectful attitude.
I really don’t know what the abilities of Chen Daji, that bratty brat, could make even the most powerful underworld officials afraid of being like this.
I followed Zhan Guang and upgraded from "Mage" to Senior...
Since someone had just died, Liu Erga and his wife naturally did not live in the house, but were taken into their own home by neighbors to take care of them.
In addition, shopkeeper Liu and Judge Wu stopped talking, and the whole courtyard fell into an eerie silence for a while.
Only unknown screams came with the cold wind.
Half an hour later, Judge Wu looked up at the moonlight and spoke softly.
"Senior, it's time to give birth soon. If the dirty things still show up, it will be soon."
As soon as Judge Wu finished speaking, heavy footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.
I saw Liu Erga and his wife, who were supposed to be resting at a neighbor's house, walking slowly like zombies.
The cheeks are sunken and the face is ashen;
His eyes were dull and his movements were stiff.
Not knowing how to take a detour, he just ran straight through the cordon set up by the police station.
Then one person chops wood to make a fire, and the other fetches water to wash the pot, just like preparing to open for business in the past.
The two of them were extremely skilled in their movements: they cooked the porridge and steamed the steamed buns in just a short time.
Then he lowered his eyebrows and stood aside respectfully, as if waiting for the arrival of some important person.
