The 242nd chapter leads the snake out of the hole (4000 words two in one chapter)(1/2)

 Jingzhao Yin Hanfeng's attitude is generally satisfactory to Zhao Xun.

On other people's territory, if the other party can tolerate it to this extent, it is considered okay.

There is no need for Zhao Xun to be aggressive.

In his own words, he is here to investigate the case, not to fight.

Just enough to get the point across.

But Zhao Xun and his party followed Wu Zuo to the morgue.

The sinister atmosphere of the morgue is coming...

Although Zhao Xun had entered the morgue more than once, he still felt a little unlucky.

"Young Master Zhao, please."

Wu Zuo made a gesture of invitation with one arm. Zhao Xun couldn't say anything more and stepped forward.

Jia Xingwen and Wangcai followed closely behind.

Wu Zuo was the last one to go in, and after entering, he closed the door behind him.

But hearing the bang, everyone became nervous.

But this is the rule of the morgue and they can't say much.

Zhao Xun glanced around and saw countless corpses placed in the morgue.

The corpses were all covered with white cloth and neatly arranged at intervals.

"Mr. Zhao, where do we start?"

"This is it."

Zhao Xun nodded.

"good."

Wu Zuo opened the white cloth covering it, and a foul smell hit his nostrils.

Even though Zhao Xun was mentally prepared, he almost couldn't help but vomit it out.

The situation of Jia Xingwen and Wangcai is not much better.

The smell of corpse stench is so strong that it makes people avoid it.

"Young Master Zhao, are you okay? Otherwise..."

Wu Zuo stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay, keep going."

Wu Zuo nodded and explained: "This body was found near the city wall seven days ago. It was a beggar and had no relatives. The body had already started to rot when it was found. Young Master Zhao, please look here. There are things that have been bitten by wild beasts."

Traces, you can clearly see the bones in this piece..."

After some comparisons, Zhao Xun was sure that the corpse was the same thing that encountered the bad guy Zhang Huan.

Rather than saying it was a ferocious beast, Zhao Xun preferred to believe it was a monster.

"Keep watching."

Zhao Xun motioned to his assistant to uncover the white cloth covering the next corpse.

"This body was sent by a woman from a tofu shop in Xingshanfang. The deceased was her husband. Five days ago, her husband left early and failed to return, so the woman went to look for it. Finally, he was found two blocks away from Xingshanfang.

Her husband’s body was found in a drainage ditch.”

After the shock just now, everyone's mood was obviously much calmer when they saw the corpse again.

"The wounds are all exactly the same. It seems that they were really made by the same kind of monster."

Zhao Xun looked at a dozen more corpses in succession. After confirming that they were correct, he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you very much. You don't need to look at them anymore."

Then he saw that the situation was similar, and Zhao Xun thought to himself that there was no need to waste any more time.

...

...

After leaving the morgue, Zhao Xun went to Jingzhao Yin Hanfeng again for discussion.

Han Feng stepped back when he smelled the corpse smell on Zhao Xun's body. He covered his nose and said, "Ah, Mr. Zhao, I think you should go take a shower and change clothes first. The smell is really pungent."

Zhao Xun frowned and said, "I just want to ask a question."

"you say..."

Han Feng said helplessly.

"Are these people who died basically civilians?"

"This... seems to be true. But why does Mr. Zhao ask this?"

"I have my own use as a lower official, so I won't bother Mr. Han anymore. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Zhao Xun hugged Han Feng, then turned and left.

...

...

After leaving the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, Wangcai stepped forward and asked curiously: "Brother Mingyun, just now you asked Mr. Han whether the deceased was a commoner?"

"I just want to confirm my suspicion. If it is a monster, it is impossible for low-level monsters to enter the imperial city, so they can only attack civilians."

"So it was really the monster?"

Jia Xingwen frowned.

"Nine times out of ten."

"Then what should we do next."

"We can't observe it openly, we can only observe it secretly."

"Observe secretly?"

"good."

Zhao Xun paused and said, "We will hide in the dark and observe. Once the monster appears, we will jump out and capture it."

...

...

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candles."

After the evening drum sounds, the gates of all major squares are closed.

As the sky gets darker, the watchmen begin to appear.

Guardsmen and delinquents are the only people who can walk in the city after the curfew is implemented at night. Of course, the Jinwu Guard and other troops also enjoy this privilege.

The watchman Feng Wu has been eating this bowl of rice for more than ten years. He has seen many strange and strange things, and he has summed up a set of rules.

That is, don't look at things you shouldn't look at, and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask.

This will keep you safe.

Especially recently, the city of Chang'an has not been peaceful, and there are rumors that many people have been bitten to death by wild beasts.

Of course Feng Wu also felt very scared, but this was his job and he had to rely on it for a living.

So he had to come for an update even if he had to bite the bullet.

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire."

Feng Wu shouted as he walked towards the archway.

When he was tired from walking, he would always take a rest under the archway.

After you regain your strength, you can continue to tell the time.

But this time, as soon as he sat down, he felt something was wrong.

A cold wind blew, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he could not move his limbs at all.

But if you say he was frozen, he was very conscious, which is really strange.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Wu could clearly hear the roar of the beast.

He was frightened for a moment and closed his eyes subconsciously.

The roar of the beast became louder and louder, and finally Feng Wu couldn't bear it anymore and opened his eyes, only to see a beast with the body of a tiger and the head of an eagle opening its bloody mouth and trying to bite his neck.

At this critical moment, a beam of golden light flashed through, completely separating him from the monster.

"Is this knife still comfortable?"

Zhao Xun, who has entered the sixth level, is now much stronger and can easily deal with low-level monsters.

In fact, he had already noticed the demonic aura emanating from the other party, but he never took action.

He was afraid that the monster would run away after noticing something strange, so he had to wait until the monster showed up completely before taking action.

This ensures nothing goes wrong.

The monster roared and stared straight at Zhao Xun.

"You beast dares to be cruel to me. I will let you know why the flowers are so red."

Zhao Xun used enough strength to strike with his sword. The beast instinctively dodged, but a lot of flesh and blood was still cut off.

The monster beast roared in pain, and then countless monster beasts sneaked out from the darkness and surrounded Zhao Xun.
To be continued...
