Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

Facing Su Xiyan's question, old man Zhang didn't answer him directly.

"Little friend, do you know what material the doll's skin is made of?" Without waiting for Su Xiyan to answer, he took it on his own. "Animal skins, herbal juices, special potions, and human skins!"

"Animal skins are made of dead dolls, and human skins are made of ghost dolls. The skin of dolls is just like human clothes. It is a must-have thing for going out. If there is no skin, they can only sit quietly. crouching in dark corners, waiting for body parts to rust and rot."

"I'm old, my eyes are dim, and I haven't touched a guy for many years. Opening an inn and drinking a few ounces of wine with peanuts every day can be regarded as a stable life for the elderly after retirement."

"A few months ago, when Zhen Ruyu begged me, I told her the same."

"So, the marks on the skin were not left by you, Master Zhang?" Su Xiyan asked back.

He had some doubts in his heart, today's day was too ups and downs.From leisurely eating snacks in the coffee shop to falling into the human skin house, and meeting Cui Zhao by accident, he was brought here directly.

He just came to find out the details of this store, but now it seems that he has fallen into layers of fog along with Cui Zhao.

Who was responsible for that room full of human skins?Where is Zhen Ruyu who escaped now?What did these things have to do with the old man Zhang sitting in front of him?

Originally, Su Xiyan thought that Cui Zhao brought him here to hunt down Zhen Ruyu, but Cui Zhao made no secret of his acquaintance with old man Zhang. He just had a big fight downstairs, and he could sit and drink tea together upstairs.

This is really... What a mess in your circle!

"Snapped--"

Cui Zhao ignored Su Xiyan's glaring gaze, took back the hand that had just patted his head, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing that bold look, the old man Zhang sitting in front of him twitched his mouth, and his face couldn't help showing a bit of distressed expression.

"Don't be led away by this old man," Cui Zhao unceremoniously picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup under the staring eyes of the old man. letter."

"Those outside will not be his hands, he has no courage, but those little gadgets he keeps outside are not necessarily."

Cui Zhao knocked on the table and showed old man Zhang a smile that was not a smile.

"Come on, tell me, which ones did it? And Zhen Ruyu's half skin, where did it go?"

Old man Zhang: "I'm just a bad old man who can't walk well, how can I know..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me," Cui Zhao waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the old man Zhang, "You know in your heart that you have bad legs and feet, if you talk to me again, I will let them confiscate the business license of your inn , you just take your dolls and drink the northwest wind!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the remaining two people present changed drastically at the same time.

Old man Zhang did it for his sunset red old business, but Su Xiyan blurted out in surprise.

"Those people downstairs are puppets?"

"About half of it." Cui Zhao glanced at Su Xiyan, as if he was dissatisfied that he suddenly vented his momentum.

"Don't make a fuss, come up and see these trivial things, shouldn't you have something in your heart?"

"If you don't use the puppet he made as a coolie, where will he get the manpower to open an inn in this corner that is not considered human and does not depend on the underworld?"

"As far as his craftsmanship is concerned, it is estimated that the store will be smashed on the first day it opens. The reason is that it tastes so bad that ghosts want to vomit."

Su Xiyan was a little dazed by the series of harsh complaints, and old man Zhang rolled his eyes to the sky in an unsightly way.

"I know you don't have a good word out of your mouth, even the cloud and mist tea can't stop your mouth."

"Why, is there something wrong with what I said? Hurry up, don't procrastinate, and hand over the person."

Old man Zhang had a bitter face, "...I really can't hand it in this time."

Cui Zhao: "What, want to fight?"

Old man Zhang: "...Everyone is a civilized person, how bad is it to be hands-on?"

Cui Zhao: "Huh?"

Old man Zhang: "...It was my nephew who did it."

Cui Zhao: ...

Su Xiyan looked at Cui Zhao with a frightened expression.

"Hasn't the line of puppeteering to you been broken?"

Old man Zhang: "...what are you talking about, I am not the only puppeteer in this world. I don't accept apprentices, but my juniors still accept them."

Cui Zhao: "Oh, and then I took one who was about to be taken to the underworld."

Old man Zhang: "..."

He showed a painful expression, which was an apology for rejecting his junior brother's inheritance.

"That's right, I've told you everything I know, so hurry up and arrest people."

Cui Zhao: "What about the remaining half of the skin?"

Old man Zhang: "It's not with me either. If I had already given it to you, why wait until now?"

"But..." he dragged his voice, "I know where it is."

"Where?"

"It's also at my nephew's place. When Zhen Ruyu came to beg me, I didn't make her a doll, but I made a human leather jacket for her. Now, it probably happens to be worn by my nephew."

Old man Zhang showed a smug smile.

When that kid came to him, his expression really displeased him, so he tricked him easily.

"...Wait, so that Zhen Ruyu outside is not herself?"

Cui Zhao's hands froze while holding the teacup, and suddenly had some bad guesses.

Su Xiyan was beside him, maintaining the same dignified expression as him, and he was even a little deeper than he thought.

Who is that man wrapped under Zhen Ruyu's glamorous skin?

"Who told you that the one outside is Zhen Ruyu?" Old Zhang looked at them suspiciously, "Zhen Ruyu is a pretty ordinary-looking girl, she was killed by my nephew a few months ago, and she faked her death in a fire. "

"When I saw her, she was about to turn into a ghost because of her persistent grievances. But my nephew is a bit capable, even if she turns into a ghost, she can't do anything to him, so I just helped her."

"Then who is that outside?" Su Xiyan couldn't help interjecting to ask.

Old man Zhang didn't return, but gave him a meaningful look.

"Okay," Cui Zhaohuo stood up, frowning tightly, looking not in a pretty mood.

"I'll be there right away, I hope there's still time."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, looked at Su Xiyan and old man Zhang sitting in front of him, and clicked his tongue in dismay.

"Su Xiyan, come with me, wake up for me on the way, and you. Let the people under you be quiet, don't keep stepping on the line because of some privileges, if the underworld wants to clean up you, it's just sending you It’s a matter of a few people coming and going.”

"They also want to find some materials for me," old man Zhang said halfway, and he caught a glimpse of Cui Zhao's unfriendly eyes, and immediately changed his words obediently.

"Cheng Chengcheng, I will take them to change places later, this time I promise to find a deserted valley, and I will never let them come out to be an eyesore."

Gaving him a look of understanding, Cui Zhao took Su Xiyan away in a hurry.

Opening the door of the inn, he returned to the human skin storage room that still smelled of blood.

Cui Zhao fully demonstrated his violent and tyrannical fighting style, leading Su Xiyan to crush him all the way, and rushed to the ground in a short while.

The location they rushed out this time was a little more curious than when Su Xiyan went down before.

Carefully stepping on the side of the toilet, Su Xiyan covered her nose and followed Cui Zhao out of the bathroom. Before she could stand still, she heard the loud and continuous siren.

"Damn!"

Cui Zhao cursed in a low voice, turned around and rushed out, followed by Su Xiyan.

In the morning, the shopping mall with a lot of traffic was forcibly emptied out, and the entire first floor was cordoned off by the police.

One after another, the bloody corpses were brought out, put into body bags and taken away.The entire "Ruyu" customization workshop was searched carpet-like, even the carpet on the floor of the dressing room was lifted and searched.

The sudden appearance of Cui Zhao and Su Xiyan in the store certainly attracted a lot of people's attention, and the two men in police uniforms walked towards them.

"Hey, who are you? How did you get in here?"

"us……"

Su Xiyan yelled that it was not good, and quickly thought of a way to get the two of them out, and after thinking about it, she knew that it would be useless to take out the ghost tokens of the two of them.

Maybe he will be accused of spreading feudal superstition and go in for a few days of tea.

The ghost messenger was taken away by human law enforcement agencies in the process of handling the case. If it gets out, it would be really unpleasant...

Just when Su Xiyan was about to say that they just came in to go to the toilet, Cui Zhao stood on top of him and coldly took out his work card with gold letters on a black background.

"Special Operations Division, Ninth Squad, this is my work permit."

The two police officers dubiously took the work card from Cui Zhao's hand, and were checking it, when they heard him suddenly curse and rushed out of the store.

Su Xiyan subconsciously followed him for a few steps, but the speed was too slow, and he heard Cui Zhao's angry shout when he reached the store door.

"Old man Lin, set up the formation!"

Outside the store door, several middle-aged and elderly people in different clothes stood together, pointing at the store door.The pale and handsome man shrank behind them, with his head down, looking as if he was terrified.

Hearing Cui Zhao's voice, the man raised his head, and a complacent and evil face suddenly appeared on his handsome face.
