Still maintaining alert, Yao Yan also approached the dark shadow with the footsteps of Karina's feet.

Without any hesitation, the cutting knife in his hand aimed at the falling black shadow and stabbed hard.

Compared to flesh and blood, it feels like piercing into cotton fabric, and the cutting knife penetrates the body of the black shadow.

Without relaxing his vigilance, he pulled out the cutting knife, and Yao Yan slashed at the black shadow twice again.

There was still no movement, it should be dead.

but......

When Yao Yan's eyes fell on the cutting knife, his thoughts also paused slightly.

Because, the cutting knife has some traces of melting on the surface.

Karina held the hand of the handle and felt a little heat.

fiery?

In his vigilant thoughts, Karina took a step back and moved away from where the shadow corpse was.

Yao Yan, who wanted to tie the body up with some cloth or rope, gave up his idea.

Even if you want to tie it, you still need to use it...

Is there anything here that can be avoided by the temperature of the cutting knife that instantly melts?

He tentatively removed the paper confetti hanging on the edge of the muzzle, and Yao Yan threw it on the black shadow.

Almost the moment it fell on it, the paper curls burned and turned into ashes.

Although the slight fire extinguished quickly, it also made the shape of this thing appear clearer.

But, just like what I just confirmed, there is no details.

Overall, it is black, like coke, and a bit like a shadow, without physicality.

However, the more important feature is...

Karina's lips opened slightly, and with the slight blowing sound, the outline of the entire body swayed.

Like...fire.

The outline after the sway stops is not like a cat, but more like a bird.

A bird with four feet?

No, Yao Yan changed his direction several times and tried to look closely. Its shape was a bit like a reptile, but it also had feathers.

The head is so weird that he doesn't have creatures like lizards, he can only think of birds.

Looking at this dark thing, Yao Yan was speechless.

You probably can't deal with things like ropes, so what about using water?

While letting the crow stare at the corpse, he walked to the bucket placed in the kitchen, picked up the bucket, and poured it on the corpse.

The evaporated water vapor rose instantly, demonstrating the high temperature of the black shadow corpse.

After pouring the remaining water, the steam evaporated from the body also seemed to be much less.

Will the temperature drop?

But, unfortunately, there are no other containers that have already filled the water in this kitchen.

After putting the flintlock pistol and cutting knife that he had been holding his left hand into his pocket, Yao Yan glanced at the corpse, then picked up the tongs placed beside the wall, and directly clamped the charcoal and black-shaped corpse.

Water? It's raining outside, and there's a lot of water.

Yao Yan planned to drag the body directly outside the door.

but......

At this moment—

Dongdongdongdongdong!!!

Dongdong!!

Dongdongdongdongdong!!!

"Miss Karina! Miss Karina!? Are you here?"

With the sound of suspected raindrops falling on the umbrella, a rough male voice sounded.

When he heard the sound, Yao Yan, who immediately found the owner of the voice in his memory, could only choose to let the tongs leave the corpse, then put the tongs down, imitated Karina's tone, and shouted-

"......Is it Mr. Stebor? What happened?"

After Yao Yan called and responded, the rushing knock stopped, and then the male voice that calmed down was a much calmer:

"I just heard the gunshots, so come and take a look."

"Miss Karina, please open the door."

Hearing this, Yao Yan glanced at the corpse, used burning red tongs tongs tongs to pull out a few pieces of coke from the stove, and then clamped the corpse into the strange stove, then lifted the lantern and moved towards the door immediately.

While crushing a small piece of coke with his hands and applying it to his hands, Yao Yan responded in a tone of doubt at the same time:

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Amid the response and footsteps, the three crows exploring their heads all retreated into their coats.

When he arrived at the hall, Yao Yan came to the door without delay and opened the door.

The one who appeared in Yao Yan's vision was a middle-aged man holding a black umbrella and wearing a somewhat old sheriff's uniform.

Sheriff Stebor.

Looking at her, the middle-aged man seemed to smell something, sniffed, then squinted his eyes, looked Karina up and down, and asked at the same time:

"Miss Karina, what were you doing just now."

The man has already been alert.

Yao Yan immediately judged that Mr. Stebor, the only police officer in the town, might have become suspicious through the smell of gunpowder.

Is your nose so good on rainy days?

Now, there are only two options.

First, I lie and guide the other party to think about it in the direction of hiding gunpowder in the kitchen stove.

The second is to imply variously, let the other party think from the perspective of "hiding the identity of the gang member".

Of course, the second method is still to be a backup - it can be used as a replacement solution after the first failure.

Imitating Karina's personality and tone, Yao Yan pretended:

“Preparing dinner.”

A hint of embarrassing smile appeared on Karina's face:

"But William made a kitchen that is strange, unlike what I am familiar with, Mr. Sheriff, can you help me fix it?"

As he said that, Karina's face was filled with an awkward smile, and under the light of the light, she felt a little shy.

Although she was a female worker in the sewing factory, Karina's appearance was not bad.

After saying that, Yao Yan turned around and walked towards the kitchen with the lantern.

Stebor, the sheriff's face showed a little vigilance and seriousness, also became doubtful because of Karina's words:

"I'm the one who made the mistake?"

But he did not deny his guess so quickly. He put away his umbrella and stepped into the room, followed the direction of the lights, and walked towards the kitchen.

Soon, Stebor entered the kitchen and stopped not far from Karina.

Stebor looked at the red charcoal blocks outside the stove and a pool of water on the ground not far away. The alert and doubt in his eyes soon turned into a clear understanding.

Grasping the red tongs at the end next to him, he clamped the charcoal blocks back into the mouth of the stove:

"Miss Karina, the stove made by William is indeed a bit unusable, and you may need a few more days to get used to."

However.....

For Yao Yan, this is not something to be thankful for.

In the field of vision, the sheriff's action of plugging red coke back from outside the stove was not important.

What’s important is that the black shadow that should have been in the stove has disappeared.

Yao Yan could only respond in Karina's tone to the words of the sheriff:
Chapter completed!
