Chapter 263: The Way of Stealing Life - Yin and Yang Couple
Zhang Mo, who had a great time last night and fell into a deep sleep when she returned to Liuhua Garden, was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps.
She got up, put on her shoes and socks, took down the dress hanging on the bedside, tied the belt around her waist, and meticulously straightened the wrinkles of her clothes.
Although she often fights, she doesn't wear warrior clothes. It's ugly, but she can still use her martial arts skills freely even in a skirt. Today, she wears a light green long skirt, a long sword hanging from her waist, and her long hair tied into a ponytail, and walks out of the door.
I heard from the disciples that a dried corpse was found in a wine shop.
She raised an eyebrow.
He strode to the scene.
The scene was already crowded with people. When the people saw Zhang Mo coming, they all made way for her.
Zhang Mo looked at the familiar scene and frowned.
Isn't this the same liquor store where I drank to find a husband last night? If I drink twenty-seven bowls of homemade liquor, I can take that delicate beauty away.
It was so lively yesterday, how come a murder happened today?
She entered the wine shop and indeed saw a dead body, a mummy.
The skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, as if all the flesh and blood had been sucked dry. It was almost a skeleton and the original face could not be seen at all.
“This method…”
Zhang Mo frowned and had more guesses in her mind. She named her disciple and began to survey the surrounding environment to look for clues.
……
the other side.
Li Changxiao was also awakened by the noise from Dayan Huazong.
As soon as he got up, he saw Zhang Mo hurriedly passing by the door.
There must be some big case.
He yawned, played with the goldfish under the red flower tree, admired the scenery, and was stunned for a long time before he took out two silver coins and went to a nearby restaurant to have breakfast.
The Dayan Hua Sect is a martial arts sect. They will prepare strengthening soups and medicines for their disciples every day, but they need to prepare their own food.
So even if Li Changxiao wanted to eat and drink for free, there was nowhere to get it.
After leaving Dayan Huazong, Li Changxiao took the silver and thought about the dishes. There seemed to be a steamed bun shop in Lanfeng Lane, which was quite famous. He was about to go and buy some buns, but when he passed by a wine shop, it was surrounded by people outside.
Through the crowd.
He immediately saw Zhang Mo who was handling a case inside. She was pinching her chin, thinking about something.
Li Changxiao went over to join in the fun, thinking that if it was a vendetta or something, he could break it up. After all, they had spent so much money, so he might as well help.
However, when he got closer and took a look, the scene inside made him feel a little curious.
The dried corpse was lying on the ground, naked.
Extremely terrifying.
It was not killed by a mortal.
There were bursts of noisy sounds coming from all around.
Zhang Mo also noticed Li Changxiao and let him in. She heard that Li Changxiao had been a coroner and wanted him to take a look at how this man died and turned into a mummy overnight.
Li Changxiao leaned over to observe. In fact, Zhang Mo already had a guess in her mind and was just referring to other people's opinions.
Li Changxiao was certain that this man's death was probably related to Yanshou. The symptoms of this skinny man were a little bit similar to those of the old man of the Wang family, both of whom showed signs of loss of vital energy.
Moreover, Li Changxiao was certain that this man was the one who drank twenty-seven bowls of liquor and won the beauty last night.
He told Zhang Mo about this conclusion. Zhang Mo's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't think about it in this direction.
The mummy was just skin and bones, almost a skeleton, so Zhang Mo did not recognize it at first.
However, after Li Changxiao said this, she could vaguely see that the shape of this mummy was indeed somewhat similar to the man who married the beauty last night.
This way.
Zhang Mo had a direction in her mind.
"Where is the wine shop owner?" Zhang Mo asked a disciple.
"I don't know. We haven't seen them this morning," said the disciple.
"Sure enough." Zhang Mo frowned and said to Li Changxiao, "I suspect that the man and woman last night were also people who took the life-stealing path."
Zhang Mo felt the body's temperature and found it still had some residual warmth, which meant that the couple had not gone too far. She waved her hand and ordered a search.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, someone spotted a man and a woman sneaking out of the city.
Zhang Mo immediately chased after them and indeed saw the man and woman from last night. She acted swiftly and subdued them in an instant. The man and woman knelt down and begged for mercy, claiming that they were innocent.
How could Zhang Mo believe such one-sided words? If she was innocent, why would she run away?
......
In less than half a day, the case was completely solved.
When Zhang Mo saw that Li Changxiao was not in Chihuayuan, she went to the restaurant to look for him.
I went up to the third floor and took a quick look. Sure enough, I found the person I was looking for. The man was sitting by the window, half lying down, drinking wine and eating peanuts. No one seemed to enjoy the place more than him.
Zhang Mo sat opposite Li Changxiao and talked to him about the case.
It turned out that the man and woman were actually a couple, and they also practiced the way to prolong life.
It is the way to steal life - the Yin and Yang couple.
"Yin-Yang couple?" Li Changxiao cast a curious look.
Zhang Mo is experienced after all, and knows a little about all the tricks, and this "Yin Yang Couple" is not unpopular.
The so-called "Yin Yang Couple" is a couple who use their Yin and Yang to extend their life. The reason why this profession is classified as a life-stealing profession is that if you only rely on the Yin and Yang of two people to extend their life, there will always be losses or imbalances in Yin and Yang.
At this time, a third party is needed to join, and the third party will shorten the lifespan, either damaging the yin or the yang.
Therefore, Yin-Yang couples often commit fraudulent marriages in various places.
The Yin-Yang couple of the Life-stealing Way needs to be compatible with each other, have compatible horoscopes, have compatible zodiac signs, etc. It is not that you can just find a random man and woman to follow this path. The couple is over 70 years old this year, but they still look young.
This is enough to prove that this method does have its effect.
The twenty-seven bowls of strong liquor last night were the wine of the scorching sun, which stimulated the yang energy in the body of the drinker, making it easier for the woman in the yin-yang couple to steal and replenish her energy.
But normally, even if the Yin-Yang couple wanted to steal lives, they would not go to such an extent as to suck a person dry. They usually travel around and only steal a small amount each time for fear of attracting attention.
What happened yesterday was really unusual.
The reason behind this can only be known by carefully examining the couple.
Li Changxiao nodded slightly when he heard this. In order to understand the myriad of problems more quickly, Li Changxiao also joined the investigation. Zhang Mo naturally would not refuse this. In fact, when she went out early in the morning, she hesitated whether to call Li Changxiao. In the end, she did not call him for fear of disturbing him.
The matter of the Yin-Yang couple came to an end, and stories praising Zhang Mo began to spread in restaurants everywhere. It is said that the storytellers nowadays are really good at telling stories. What happened in the morning would be circulated in the storybook in the afternoon, and the story was told vividly.
Others didn't seem to have any feelings when they heard it, but Zhang Mo herself became very anxious.
Li Changxiao saw the couple in the dungeon of Dayan Huazong, hugging each other and sobbing.
The two begged for mercy again and again. The position of the Yin-Yang couple is actually not glorious, and they are even condemned by everyone. They cheat on feelings and lives, but they all do it to survive. Criticizing them from a moral point of view is really a bit easy to say.
After all, the world today is not the stable and harmonious world of the previous life.
Li Changxiao asked Zhang Mo what she planned to do with these two people.
Zhang Mo told him that she would wait until they finished explaining the case and then make a decision based on the facts. If the murder was intentional, he would have to pay with his life.
Li Changxiao blew a breath of wind.
The two men felt everything in front of them become clear, and they couldn't help but tell everything they knew.
