You only like my face

Someone else died.

This time it was Doctor Li from Huichun Hall who died.

The body was discovered by Xiao Zhou.

According to Xiao Zhou himself, when he left yesterday, Dr. Li was still in good health and was busy checking the accounts. After Xiao Zhou greeted him, he packed up his things and went straight home.

When I came the next morning, the door of Huichun Hall was still closed. At that time, Xiao Zhou didn't think much about it. After he took out the key and opened the door, he found that Dr. Li's body was lying on the counter, and the whole ledger was soaked in blood. wet

After the yamen servant came, he checked and found that the cause of Dr. Li's death was that his heart had been dug out.

Because of the change in the murderer's modus operandi this time, the yamen servants in the town were terrified, and immediately went to find Gu Qingyuan and his party.After a group of people arrived at the scene, Gu Qingyuan looked at the big blood hole behind Dr. Li's body and fell silent.

This can directly see the ledger under the corpse through it.

"Why are you so cruel this time?" Looking at the wound, Mu Tianqi felt pain in his back. "The murderer has always dug up to the heart before, and this is the first time he has dug through directly."

"Ouch—" Huayu vomited on the side.

Ye Ziqing smiled secretly in his heart, but still had a worried look on his face, he said: "The time for heart-digging has been changed to night, and this time I used such a strong force, why is it a bit like—"

"Revenge." Gu Qingyuan continued.

Hearing what the two said, Mu Tianqi was puzzled and asked, "Oh? What do you know?"

"Maybe we know, maybe we don't know." Gu Qingyuan said, "At least we know who Dr. Li met with yesterday."

Later, Gu Qingyuan told the yamen officer in charge of the case what he had seen and heard yesterday, but unexpectedly, after the yamen officer listened to it, he gave them another piece of information about Mrs. Hu's family:

Mrs. Hu's husband, Hu Sheng, was once a famous painter near Luofeng Mountain. He is good at painting, especially good at painting pictures of ladies. He has a very good personality. They write letters or paint portraits as subsidies. They are popular, but they have never married.

A year ago, Hu Sheng suddenly invited his neighbors to marry Mrs. Hu as his wife, saying that Mrs. Hu was the wife of his parents in his hometown before they passed away.

Because Hu Sheng's hometown is indeed not Luofengshan, the villagers did not doubt his words, and seeing that Madam Hu is beautiful, she usually receives people and treats people kindly, but she is a weak woman, so the villagers are quite fond of her. Have a good impression.

Madam Hu usually works as a female celebrity at home, and sometimes she would go to Luofeng Mountain to collect some medicines and sell them in the market. Before the accident in Luofeng Mountain, Madam Hu would go to Luofeng Mountain at least once a month.

Everyone was surprised by Mrs. Hu's behavior, and warned Hu Sheng on the sidelines, asking Hu Sheng to pay attention to his wife. After all, there are still monsters on the mountain, and it would be bad if there was an accident.

Unexpectedly, Hu Sheng knew about it, and he didn't stop Mrs. Hu. Instead, he smiled and said, it's all right.

Later, after the accident in Luofeng Mountain, when Mrs. Hu went up the mountain to leave home, a wild boar as big as a small mountain ran into the village.

The villagers gathered all the strong men and used all the iron tools to beat him to death, but the whole village also paid a great price: three or two people died, more than a dozen were seriously injured, and some houses collapsed .

Among the seriously injured was Mr. Hu who was in the private school and had no time to escape because he was protecting the children.

At that time, according to the doctor in the village, Hu Sheng was stabbed in the front of the chest by the front fangs of a wild boar, bleeding profusely. At that time, the doctor believed that Hu would not live long.

However, unexpectedly, after Mrs. Hu came back, seeing her husband like this, she didn't cry, but she calmly took Hu Sheng back, saying that she had the secret medicine from her hometown, which could save Hu Sheng One life.

A day later, Mrs. Hu asked the doctor to see Hu Sheng again, and the doctor was surprised to find that almost all the upper part of Hu Sheng's chest had healed up.

So the doctor just prescribed a few prescriptions to nourish the body, and then left after a few words of advice.

"Looking at it this way, Mrs. Hu is really suspicious." Mu Tianqi was thoughtful, and at the same time had an idea in his mind, "Oh, brother, haven't you been in contact with Mrs. Hu? Isn't she a demon?"

"She doesn't have a monster aura." Gu Qingyuan said, "But that doesn't mean she isn't a monster."

There are thousands of monsters in this world, who knows if Mrs. Hu is some kind of extremely special monster that can hide her monster aura?

"Can't we just take Bai Ze there?" Mu Tianqi showed his big white teeth, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "If Bai Ze sees her, he will definitely know if she is a demon or not."

After thinking for a while, Gu Qingyuan felt that what Mu Tianqi said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed, then turned his head to look at Ye Ziqing, and said, "Mu Tianqi and I went to find Mrs. Hu, will you go too?"

Ye Ziqing shook her head and said, "It's enough for you to go, I won't go. Besides, Miss Huayu should need someone to take care of her."

He pointed to Huayu who was leaning against the wall weakly, almost unable to straighten up.

"That's good." Gu Qingyuan was silent for a while, then said, "Then you wait for me at the inn."

"Ah."

After Gu Qingyuan and Mu Tianqi left, Ye Ziqing walked up to Huayu according to what he said before, carefully lifted the weak Huayu up, and asked softly: "Can you still go? I'll take you back to the inn. "

Huayu felt her shoulders being supported by a pair of warm hands, and the grievances in her heart for so many days suddenly burst out, her body softened, and she leaned on Lu Yi's body, but Lu Yi did not push her away.

"Thank you." Huayu leaned against Lu Yi, feeling the warmth from the place where the two of them touched was gradually deepening, slowly seeping into her heart, and her affection for Lu Yi, which was originally very good, suddenly rose to [-]%.

"You're welcome." Lu Yi smiled, and continued to walk out of Huichun Hall with Huayu gently but not rudely, leaving the place that was a hell for Huayu.

After sending Huayu all the way back to the inn, Ye Ziqing returned to her room.Of course, when he left Huayu's room, he also told Huayu, "Call me if you need anything, I'm right next door."

"Hmm." Hua Yu's face was as red as an apple.

Do you think Ye Ziqing is really so kind?

of course not.

He has his own plans.

After returning to her room, Ye Ziqing carefully placed a protective spell and a silence spell around her, then took off her cloak, and took out a wooden box from the storage bag.

The wooden box was only the size of a fist, and it was engraved with runes.

When getting along with Mu Tianqi before, what Ye Ziqing never imagined was that Mu Tianqi wanted to finish Luofeng Mountain and go back.

This made Ye Ziqing puzzled.

Logically speaking, at Mu Tianqi's age, especially after obtaining the ancient beast, it should happen that his vanity was inflated, and he became more and more adventurous in order to become famous, but Mu Tianqi seemed to see through the world. what happened?

Since Mu Tianqi didn't want to "take risks" by himself, he tried to force that Mu Tianqi to go, as long as the effect was the same.

After all, if someone like Mu Tianqi missed it, he might really miss it.

Ye Ziqing opened the wooden box on the table, and saw a heart inside.

The red, jumping meatballs are alive.

On that meatball, the tendons wrapped around it can be clearly seen with the naked eye, and there is a translucent hard film covering it.

Looking at this heart for a long time, Ye Ziqing took it out, put it in his hand, felt the beating strength of this heart for a moment, then took out a simple mirror, stood it on the table, waved his other hand in front of the mirror Pass:

I saw that the mirror that originally reflected his face suddenly rippled from the center, and after the ripples calmed down, a woman appeared inside.

From the perspective of the picture, it seems that whose eyes this mirror is looking at this woman.

Ye Ziqing waited until the picture was clear, then brought the heart close in his hand, and said to it, "Madam Hu?"

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and the eyes that were previously full of love immediately turned cold. She said to the mirror: "I have already done what you said, what else do you want?"

"Hehe," Ye Ziqing chuckled, "Madam Hu, I'm helping you."

On the other side of the mirror, Hu Sheng smiled lightly at his wife: "Hehe, Mrs. Hu, I am helping you."

When Madam Hu saw her husband being manipulated by someone with such an expression, she was both sad and regretful, but she also knew that she could not show weakness, so she forced herself to ask, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, it's just a tip-off. Gu Qingyuan brought Bai Ze to your place, you'd better hide your husband."

"What's there to hide?" Mrs. Hu sneered, "You forced me to kill Dr. Li, but you actually forced me to die. They will find out that it was me sooner or later."

"You are a demon." Hu Sheng persuaded, "You can escape, but do you think your husband will be fine? So, Mrs. Hu, shall we make a deal?"

In fact, what Ye Ziqing said is not unreasonable.

Regardless of Hu Sheng's temperament, he will definitely prevent everyone from hurting his wife. In the whole process, it is inevitable that he will not be accidentally injured. Humans are weaker than monsters. What if they die? Besides, Hu Sheng's heart is in Ye Ziqing's hands, if Mrs. Hu doesn't accept this deal, Ye Ziqing will definitely crush Hu Sheng's heart, and if that happens, her previous efforts will be in vain.

Mrs. Hu felt hopeless.

What a Yaksha, he can find a high-sounding reason for killing people.

"Okay." Madam Hu nodded, holding back tears, "But I have to set the conditions myself."

"Say."

"Whether I succeed or not... I beg you to return my husband's heart to him, and send my husband out of here safely."

"no problem."

Madam Hu took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing what he wanted, Ye Ziqing held the heart in his hand, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

After a few breaths, Hu Sheng suddenly woke up with a jolt. When he woke up, he saw his wife sitting by his bed, holding his hand that was exposed from the quilt, and looking at him reluctantly.

"What's wrong? Did I fall asleep again?" Hu Sheng sat up, held his wife's hand back, and complained, "Recently I always want to sleep for no reason."

Madam Hu gently touched her husband, put the hand she was holding back into the quilt, and said, "Husband, it's better for you to continue to sleep."

After finishing speaking, a wisp of white smoke spit out from Mrs. Hu's mouth and flew straight onto Hu Sheng's face.

Hu Sheng suddenly lost consciousness again.
