"Blood stains? Did you find any clues?" Ye Qing asked.
Xu Banren shook his head: "No, we checked around and didn't find any clues."
Ye Qing frowned: "How many people are in contact with Li Zhou?"
Xu Banren returned: "There are currently eighteen people."
Ye Qing thought for a moment and asked: "If you take off the blood clothes, you will die. So if you don't take off the blood clothes, what dangers will there be?"
Xu Banren shook his head: "I don't know, when I left, no one had any trouble."
"However, I suspect something bad might happen when the clothes are all stained with blood."
"Yeah!" Ye Qing nodded, agreeing with Xu Banren's guess.
The two of them chatted while walking, and by the time they arrived at Jiming Lane, Ye Qing already roughly knew what had happened.
"Your Majesty the Inspector!"
"Your Majesty the Inspector!"
As soon as Ye Qing arrived at the scene of the incident, more than a dozen Jing'an guards saluted him.
"Zhou Xi, how are you?" Ye Qing waved his hand, indicating that the other party didn't need to be polite.
A thin and muscular man in black armor cupped his fists and said, "Sir, everything is fine for now, but the blood stains on their bodies are getting bigger."
"Are all the people who have been in contact with Li Zhou here?" Ye Qing asked again.
Zhou Xi nodded: "They are all here, eighteen of them, not one is missing."
"Very good." Ye Qing walked into the crowd and looked at the eighteen people in the open space. These people were men and women, old and young. They were all gathered together in fear and trembling.
Each of the eighteen people had a large blood stain on their body. The blood stain was slowly spreading and looked very strange.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man screamed, and at some point, his clothes were completely stained with blood and turned into a bloody suit.
The blood coat shrank, and the man was like a sponge being squeezed continuously. His body also shrank, his face was purple, and his blood vessels were bulging, making him look very scary.
Obviously, within a few breaths, the man would be strangled into a pulp by the bloody clothes.
Ye Qing frowned, took a step forward, and appeared on the man's body. His left hand turned into a claw and grabbed the bloody clothes on the man's body.
But before it touched the blood coat, the contraction speed of the blood coat suddenly accelerated. With a "bang", his body was directly strangled by the blood coat, and blood and flesh spattered all over the sky.
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, and the Gang Qi exploded, and the foehn wind swept across, burning the splattered flesh and blood into ashes.
Ye Qing was fine, but the two nearby Jingan guards were unprepared and had a trace of blood spattered on their bodies.
After being stained with blood, the blood stains began to spread on the clothes, just like those of ordinary people.
"grown ups……"
The expressions of the two Jing'an guards changed slightly and they both looked at Ye Qing.
"ah……"
Only then did anyone react. Dozens of people with blood stains on their bodies instantly became terrified, screaming, and some even started tearing off their clothes.
"Don't touch it!"
Ye Qing shouted sharply, but still took a step slower. Before he could finish his words, he saw the man who stretched out his hand to tear his clothes to freeze in place and lost his breath.
Now, the crowd was even more confused, and the fear of death made them completely lose their minds.
"Everyone, please be quiet and don't panic."
Seeing this, Ye Qing stretched out his hand and pressed down, using invisible energy to calm the chaotic crowd, and said slowly: "I am the inspector of the Jing'an Department. Don't worry, I will find that weirdo and won't let anyone get into trouble."
There was a trace of spiritual power in Ye Qing's voice, which was like a gentle breeze, gradually relaxing everyone in panic.
After calming everyone down, Ye Qing looked at Zhou Xi and said, "Zhou Xi, immediately send people to disperse the people around you and don't come near here."
"Also, keep an eye on this place. If you find that someone's clothes are about to be completely soaked in blood, move them out of the crowd immediately. Remember, tell the brothers to be careful not to get those blood stains."
"Yes!" Zhou Xi responded and turned around to make arrangements.
"Captain Xu, have you asked these people?" Immediately, Ye Qing looked at Xu Banren and asked.
Xu Banren waved his hand, and Jing'an Guard handed him a book, which recorded the confessions he had asked and the information and clues he had collected.
Ye Qing took the book, looked through it carefully, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Judging from these confessions and clues, the first person to have blood stains on his body was Li Zhou, and the others only had blood stains on their bodies after coming into contact with Li Zhou." Blood stained.”
"So it can be basically confirmed that Li Zhou is the source of all incidents."
"In addition, Li Zhou has no father or mother, no wife and no children. His neighbor was the first person to come into contact with him, and there were blood stains on his body. Therefore, we can roughly judge that the source of the blood stains may be at or near Li Zhou's home. "
Xu Banren was silent for a moment, nodded, and looked at Ye Qing in surprise. He didn't expect Ye Qing to think of this so quickly.
Ye Qing didn't notice Xu Banren's eyes, because he always had a dead face, so he couldn't tell anything: "Let's go and have a look at Li Zhou's house."
Li Zhou's home was not far away, and Ye Qing and Xu Banren quickly arrived at where Li Zhou lived.
"Sir, we have searched before and found nothing." A Jing'an guard who was following Ye Qing couldn't help but remind him when he saw that Ye Qing was about to enter the house.
"Well, let me take a look, it won't take long anyway!"
Ye Qing did not refute the other party, but ordered: "Captain Xu, you and your brothers will go around Li Zhou's house to see if you can find any clues?"
"Yes!" Xu Banren handed over his hand and led the people away. He had seen Ye Qing's strength, so naturally he would not worry about Ye Qing's safety.
After everyone left, Ye Qing entered Li Zhou's house and started searching inside.
Li Zhou is a tailor, and the yard and house are filled with clothes and fabrics. The breeze blows, and the clothes and fabrics flutter, as if there are countless figures shaking.
Ye Qing stroked his brows with his hands, unleashing his mental energy and sensing everything around him. Everything in the yard and house clearly appeared in his mind.
However, after taking a look around, nothing unusual was found.
"Strange? Isn't that weird thing hiding here?" Ye Qing frowned slightly, rubbed the center of his brow, and finally took out the Weird Sutra helplessly.
Alas, he originally wanted to rely on himself, but dreams and reality coincidentally passed by each other, leaving him with six words: "You are not the material!"
Sighing, Ye Qing unfolded the Strange Scripture, sprayed a mouthful of old blood on it, and asked: "Where is the strange man who killed Li Zhou hidden?"
The blood squirmed, and lines of bloody words appeared on the Sutra:
I encountered a strange thing today. A blood stain appeared on some people's clothes for no reason. When the blood stain spread to the whole body, those people would be strangled to death by the bloody clothes. But they couldn't take off their clothes, otherwise they would be inexplicable. die. According to my speculation, there may be something strange at work. "
"I followed the clues and found the place where the monster was most likely to be hiding. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything!"
"What should I do? What should I do? I have just been promoted to Luoshui Inspector. If I can't solve this problem perfectly, it may be detrimental to my prestige and be looked down upon by others? What should I do?" "Maybe it was because of my poor eyesight before. Well, I should check Li Zhou’s house carefully again!”
"..."
Brother, are you becoming more and more unreliable? Have you learned to attack personally?
The text in the Secret Scripture ended here, but the information given left Ye Qing speechless. In short, what was said was the same as what was left unsaid.
Of course, the information given by the Strange Scripture is not all useless, at least it proves from the side that the strange thing is hiding here.
"It's just...where is it hidden?"
Ye Qing looked around, looking at the messy fabrics and clothes inside and outside the room, and felt dizzy.
"Since you don't come out, then I will force you to come out!"
Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyes lit up, he took a step forward, raised his hand and punched out.
At this time, Mang was right!
"Buzz..."
The void trembled, and doors, windows, clothes, and fabrics rattled.
The next moment, the air became scorching, and the foehn wind roared, spreading to every part of the house. All the clothes, fabrics, tables, chairs, etc. began to emit dark red flames from the inside out and turned into ashes.
At the same time, Ye Qing's mental power spread and he felt everything in the room.
"found it!"
When everything in the house was about to be burned, a tattered piece of clothing flew out from a pile of messy waste fabrics.
However, when the clothes flew out, a blood stain appeared on them.
Then, the blood stains spread out at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the entire clothes turned blood red, and drops of blood seeped out from the clothes, exuding a strong smell of blood.
As the blood dripped onto the ground, it immediately smeared like ink dripping into clear water. In just a short moment, the entire house was covered in blood, and a ferocious and ominous atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect it to be a grudge-level monster!" Ye Qing looked at the bloody clothes in the room with interest, raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Another silver dragon snake rune is about to come into his account, how can he not be happy?
From his trip to Firewind Valley to now, he has been polishing his Qi and Foehn wind without using the silver dragon and snake runes, so he has accumulated a lot, currently nine of them.
No, it will be ten.
Looking at the silver dragon and snake runes that were added one after another, Ye Qing felt a sense of accomplishment.
Well, I have a lot of money and feel like I am carrying the wind when I walk.
"Gulu..."
Inside the house, blood was flowing, bubbling, and sticky with a fishy stench on the floor, walls, roof, and other places.
The next moment, the surging blood suddenly spurted out, like a rain of blood all over the sky.
Ye Qing's body swayed, and the burning wind roared, instantly evaporating the rain of blood from the sky.
"Little trick!" Ye Qing shook his head.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the blood in the room suddenly surging and swarming together, forming countless lumps of different sizes, slowly squirming and looking extremely disgusting.
Then, the knot exploded, and pieces of bloody clothes flew out of the room and hung in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the sky above the entire courtyard was occupied by blood-clothed clothes. They were densely packed and filled with blood energy, making the whole place seem to be dyed blood red and dim.
At the same time, wisps of blood that seemed to be invisible lingered around Ye Qing, as if they wanted to invade his body.
However, Ye Qing, who was surrounded by blood-clothed clothes, stood with his hands behind his back, as if there was no sense of urgency, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, half-smiling.
