Li Huaiyun explained, "The work is unreliable. I will do the autopsy myself!"
"Ah!" A Tian was surprised, wondering if the other party was kidding him. How could a person who committed a capital crime go for an autopsy? This was so unreasonable.
Later, when he heard Li Huaiyun's explanation, he understood. However, he still envied Li Huaiyun in his heart.
For demon hunters of their level, not to mention Sikyong, it is extremely rare for them to be able to see the helmsman. Now, what they can see every day is Hall Master Xu Kun, with his deathly face.
"You are so lucky! Just like your name, you are blessed with great luck! You were able to meet Sikyong and let Sikyong take you for the autopsy."
There was more than just envy in his tone when he spoke, "I have already expected that Ah Yun, you will definitely rise to great heights in the future!"
Li Huaiyong forcefully patted A Tian on the shoulder. He knew that A Tian came from a humble background and had entered the Demon Slayer Division with his own efforts. This was already beyond the limits of ordinary qualifications.
And his experience is something that A Tian can only dream of, so it is not surprising that he is envious of it.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you, brother, when I get promoted in the Demon Slayer Division!"
A Tian showed a silly smile, "That's a deal! In fact, I also hope to be promoted one day, so that I can save more money! Marry her."
Li Huaiyun knew the woman he was talking about, a promiscuous merchant's daughter who raised enough fish to start a fish farm. She was secretly dating A Tian out of curiosity.
It is simply impossible for the two of them to be incompatible with each other in this feudal society.
It's just that the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Li Huaiyun can only watch A Tian, like Tom Cat, being played with in the palm of his hand.
He very much hoped that he could persuade this brother to turn around and say, "A Tian, aren't you considering other people? Your identity, status, and cognition are all very different."
When A Tian heard this, he had some grudges in his heart. His family often tried to persuade him, but he always refuted it. However, this is his brother, so it was hard to say anything. "Ah Yun! Don't try to persuade him, we are in love!"
What a perfect match! How did this woman control his heart? The hooked Ah Tian is so confused!
Li Huaiyun couldn't say anything anymore. He had seen that woman and was entangled with other men. Unfortunately, A Tian didn't know this, and he didn't know how to tell A Tian.
There are no cameras or recordings in this world. You can't explain clearly with just one mouth.
A Tian took out a cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "Take these coins!"
Li Huaiyun asked with confusion, "Ah! What do you mean?"
"At that time, when you were imprisoned, your aunt came to me and said that she needed some money to go to the Yamen, otherwise she wouldn't even have a chance to see you."
"I loaned her some of my savings over the years. Besides, you have just come out of prison and your family will definitely need money, so keep these first."
"It's not much anyway, at least I can give you an emergency."
Li Huaiyun looked at this honest and honest guy, and his heart was full of gratitude. This guy had already spent all his money.
He gently pushed this good brother with his hand, "Thank you! I will pay you back when the salary is paid!"
"It's a little money, don't worry about it! But your aunt, I have been working hard for you these days, so you have to show your respect to others."
"of course."
The two of them arrived at the gate of the county government office, showed the Demon Slayer Division's token to the guard guarding the gate, and one of them went in to report.
Magistrate Gao came out to greet him personally. The bruises on his face became deeper, but he looked much more energetic than yesterday.
When he saw Li Huaiyun, he no longer had the arrogant attitude before, but his expression was still a bit resentful, and he raised his hands to salute respectfully.
Now that he represents the Demon Slayer Division, the county magistrate must not dare to make another mistake.
"We would like to welcome the two demon hunters. The crime occurred at the bottom of the prison, where serious criminals are held."
A Tianze looked puzzled as to why the magistrate's face looked like this, "Magistrate Gao, what's your face?"
"Oh!" Magistrate Gao hurriedly explained, "The lower official accidentally dropped it."
"Yes! It fell into a woman's hands!" Li Huaiyun added.
Magistrate Gao's arms trembled, and he forced a smile on his face, "Please go down to the water prison to check!"
Li Huaiyun and A Tian came outside the prison. Since he didn't want to see the magistrate Gao, he asked the magistrate to assign Agent Liu to lead the way to the water prison on the bottom floor.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the prison, he smelled the smell of rotting corpses. The further inside, the stronger the smell became. Because the entire water prison was under the ground, even though there were many torches lit, the light inside was relatively dim.
There was a mutilated corpse floating on the blood-red water. The skin had been soaked in blood for a long time and was wrinkled and white. The white bones were exposed under the bright red skin, and the mutilated internal organs were exposed outside the body.
Agent Liu had been relatively immune since he had been here several times. Apart from feeling a little nauseous, he had no other reaction.
But A Tian was different. This rookie monster hunter like him had obviously never seen such a scene before, so he immediately went to the corner to vomit.
Chen Xunyi looked at A Tian, what this guy had for breakfast was vegetable buns! There are fried dough sticks, and there seems to be pancakes, which are quite rich!
ah! Why am I paying attention to this? He turned his attention back to the water prison and said to Capt. Liu, "Open the door! I want to go down and inspect the scene myself."
"Ah!" When Liu Captou heard this, he looked surprised, and then looked at Li Huaiyun with admiration. This man was so fierce.
No one would be willing to go down into the dirty water with corpses floating in it. He took out the key and opened the cell door.
As before, he told Li Huaiyun the situation in the prison in detail.
The water cell was dug out from the bottom of the cell. A large pit about one meter deep was filled with dirty water. A long and thick wooden stake was erected in the pit. Prisoners who committed serious crimes were chained. On a wooden stake, lower body soaked in dirty water.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the water cell door and carefully observed the situation inside the cell. He told Capt. Liu, "It's too dark here to inspect the body. Please ask Capt. Liu to get a piece of wood and white cloth. I want Bring the body up and put it on top for inspection.”
Liu Captou clicked his tongue a few times, admiring Li Huaiyun even more. This man not only wanted to go into the water, but also prepared to fish out the rotting corpse. Whoever it was, he would just look at it and would not even think about going into the water. Retrieve the corpse.
A Tian had vomited until only sour water was left. He held his stomach and walked up, "Why don't you observe first? It seems that there is no smell of monsters here."
"No need! Normal people can't do such a thing! This is the work of a monster, there is no doubt about it!"
A Tian glanced around, "But don't you think this place is strange?"
"How to say?"
"No matter how powerful a monster is, it is impossible for it to be invisible without a trace, not to mention that there is a Monster Slayer Division in Kyoto!"
"Perhaps all the explanations lie in that body."
Li Huaiyun put aside the jade pendant and silver he was wearing, and then went down to the water cell. The dirty water with the smell of blood was biting and cold, making him shiver unconsciously.
He turned around and saw Capt. Liu still standing by the door, staring at him, and urged, "Capt. Liu! Hurry up and do what I tell you!"
After being reminded like this, Liu Captou came to his senses. He nodded quickly and left the water prison.
This guy is so dedicated.
A Tian stood in front of the cell door, squatting there, holding the token hanging in one hand, but saw no response from the token.
This jade pendant infused with special spiritual power is a standard accessory for all monster hunters in the Monster Slayer Division. Normally, if it encounters a monster, the surface of the token will glow. The more powerful the monster, the greater the light will be. .
This is also to judge whether the monster catcher is capable of fighting monsters. If it is far different, he needs to ask his superiors to appoint a more advanced monster catcher.
He and Li Huaiyun are D-level monster hunters, and the cases they handle will not touch very powerful monsters.
"This token has no response. Is it really not man-made?"
"Which expert would be willing to take on such a lousy job! You have to silence yourself in this way, it's not unnecessary!"
A Tian nodded immediately, feeling that his words made sense.
Li Huaiyun walked slowly forward in the blood-red dirty water and came to the mutilated corpse. He could clearly feel in his lower body that there was a trace of yin in the dirty water.
Isn't this monster hiding in the water?
Thinking of this, Li Huaiyun's back felt cold. There was silence in the water prison. The originally calm dirty water began to sway slightly.
He turned his head and looked towards the cell door. A Tian was still standing there, "Then how do you think the monster got in here?"
"The most likely possibility is that someone brought him in. Remember the passerby I killed? He's been dead for a few days, but he can still move around freely like a living person."
A Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that this place was quite dangerous.
Li Huaiyun had already arrived in front of the corpse. He stretched out his hand to hold down the corpse floating on the water. "By the way! I forgot just now. Throw a torch over here. I want to see it more clearly!"
A Tian gently rubbed his arms, "A Yun! Why don't we get the body out first?" The water prison made him feel a chill, and the token had no effect on dispelling the chill.
"Only the crime scene has the most clues! If we leave here, we will lose a lot of clues."
A Tian quickly came to the wall, took a torch, and threw it over.
The moment Li Huaiyun received the torch, a black shadow quietly crossed the water, which made him subconsciously dodge.
"There's something!" A Tian shouted in horror.
Li Huaiyun held the torch and shined it around, looking nervous, "What is it?"
At this time, his chest rose and fell rapidly, "What did you see?"
A Tian frowned and shook his head, "I don't know what it was, but a black shadow suddenly flashed across! Well, why don't you come up first!"
"No need! Since the token in your hand didn't respond, it must be just an illusion." Li Huaiyun frowned slightly, then bent down and began to inspect the body.
A piece of the corpse's face and jaw was bitten off, and the shoulder on the left side of the body was almost bitten off. The arm and body were only connected to the armpit, and that bit of flesh was connected.
Starting from the chest and abdomen, all the way to the Dantian, a crescent shape was formed by biting. One of the thighs was bitten to the knee, and half of the flesh of the other thigh was bitten off.
Judging from the mutilation of the corpse, it was obvious that it was a very ferocious monster, and the teeth in its mouth were very sharp and smooth, so the lacerations caused by the wounds were also very smooth.
terrible! Li Huaiyun couldn't help but shook his head. If we encounter that thing now, we don't know if we can deal with it with our cultivation.
It seems that we still need to inform the helmsman or Sikyong and ask them to send a demon hunter with a higher level of cultivation to deal with it.
He focused his attention on the black hair wrapped around the corpse. Since the deceased's head was already half bald, this black hair obviously did not belong to the deceased.
There were deep wounds on the deceased's neck, and it looked like he had been strangled.
Li Huaiyun untied the black hair wrapped around the body, and then held it in his hands to observe carefully. The hair looked very much like human hair.
At this moment, A Tian suddenly shouted, "A Yun, it's dangerous!"
