Li Huaiyun quickly flipped through the secret book. This kind of boxing technique is to gather a large amount of energy into the fist, and then activate the Qi machine to form a high-density boxing style that can cut through the air. The impact force has the power of thunder. When this type of boxing style Attacking the opponent can cause horrific damage.
This kind of boxing does not require gloves, and it can be executed quickly without any delay.
He patted his thigh vigorously. I really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes. It took no effort at all, and finally I found this secret book.
With one supreme punch, I will soon become the One Punch Man of this world!
Li Huaiyun couldn't wait to read the secret book to get a general understanding of the practice of this boxing technique. Then, he stuffed the secret book and the inner strength method into his pocket and studied it carefully when he returned home.
"Okay! Investigate the case!" He clapped his hands with joy and walked towards the outside of the arsenal. When he passed a cabinet, he saw a lot of medical books on it.
Yo! There are so many medical books in this arsenal. If my aunt was here, she would be extremely happy.
So, he stopped in front of the cabinet and glanced at the books on it. He had seen a small part of the books in his aunt's room.
At this time, Li Huaiyun saw a different classic on the cabinet. The appearance was seriously damaged and the handwriting on it could not be read clearly.
Could this be the book my aunt was talking about?
He took down the book, saw that it was sewn together with needle and thread, and turned a page.
As expected, this fragment is actually a fragment of the Qingnang Neijing.
Damn it! What a discovery! Li Huaiyun felt excited. It was unexpected that this scrap would be in the arsenal!
He immediately called the administrator of the arsenal and asked about the origin of the fragment. However, the administrator had not been here long and was not very clear.
"Can I take this scrap with me?"
"No! From the Demon Slayer Department's arsenal, no one is allowed to take away the secret books unless there is a decree from Sikyong!" The administrator continued, "However, as long as you have time, you can also choose to copy the contents here. .”
Li Huaiyun shook off the fragments of the scroll in his hand. Isn't this a waste of time? How about I memorize a page every day and then give it to my aunt?
This doesn’t work either! There are no more surprises. My aunt has always wanted to find this fragment, so she thinks it is a gift for her. She still has time to come to the arsenal and copy this fragment.
When my aunt's birthday comes, give it to her and make sure she smiles from ear to ear.
So happily decided! Li Huaiyun put the remaining scroll back, then left the arsenal, and met Mu Yuan waiting at the door of the Demon Slayer Division.
"Where have you been? So slow?"
"When I went to the arsenal, Sikyong asked me to choose some inner strength and boxing skills."
"Wait! It will get dark later! Let's go quickly!"
"Okay!" This woman is more anxious than me!
This case occurred in a residential area in northern Kyoto. Most of the people living there are people from ordinary families. The houses they live in are small and somewhat old.
This residential area is densely packed with hundreds of households. The alleys inside are crisscrossed and the walls are high. People who don’t know their way around can easily get lost after entering.
Only those who have lived here for many years will know the way.
At this time, the sun was setting on the top of the distant mountain peaks. It would be night in an hour, and now half of the sky was dyed golden yellow.
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan arrived at the street and saw one of the alley entrances. People from the Demon Slayer Division were already standing guard there. Some corpses were dragged out of the alley and placed on the street at the entrance of the alley.
The guarding demon catcher walked up, saluted and said, "Brother Li! Captain."
"What's the specific situation?"
"Residents living nearby heard a noise coming from a house last night. As a result, some people were curious and came out to search for the source of the noise. Unfortunately, these people did not come back after they went out."
"Until this morning, some residents came out and found those who came out last night in several alleys."
Li Huaiyun lowered his gaze to the ground covered with white cloth, "Are all the corpses here?"
"These are the only bodies that have been found so far. I don't know how many more there are. We need to notify the people living here to see if there are any other missing persons."
Li Huaiyun put the gloves on his hands, squatted next to the white cloth, and gently opened the white cloth. There were about seven or eight corpses lying neatly inside.
The death state of these corpses was quite horrific. The entire body was emaciated, leaving only skin and bones. The skin was basically attached to the bones. The eyes were covered by wrinkled eye sockets, and the veins on the body were protruding.
Li Huaiyun pulled Bai Bai aside and pinched his chin, "This is someone sucking you dry!"
"Yes!" said one of the demon hunters. "The essence and blood of the deceased were completely sucked. It is very likely that the deceased is the kind of banshee who needs a lot of yang energy."
Li Huaiyun rolled up his sleeves and took off all the clothes and pants of one of them.
Upon seeing this, Mu Yuan immediately turned her head away with a puzzled look on her face, "What are you doing?"
"Investigating the case! If you want to know how this man died, of course you have to look at every inch of his body and try not to miss anything."
Mu Yuan thought this was reasonable, suppressed the disgust in her heart, and squatted beside him, "You are right!"
Li Huaiyun carefully examined the body and found that there were contusions on the vital parts of the body, and obvious spots around the abdomen. He speculated that the deceased had undergone a lot of exercise before his death.
He turned the body over and saw several deep scratches under the thin skin on the back. He already had some answers in his mind. It was probably due to overwork!
Li Huai turned around and was about to borrow a sword from him when he realized that Mu Yuan was beside him. He asked the two demon hunters, "Which one of you can lend me a weapon?"
One of them didn't think much and threw the knife in his hand directly.
Li Huaiyun took the knife. This knife was not as sharp as A Tian's saber, but it was quite easy to cut through the body.
He held the knife and said to Mu Yuan, "Turn the body over!"
Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking why you asked me to turn over the body. Just when she was about to get angry, she heard Li Huaiyun say anxiously, "Hurry! What did Sikyong tell you before?"
When the two demon hunters saw this scene, they immediately stepped forward. They knew that Mu Yuan was the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion, but they did not expect that Li Huaiyun would actually order the helmsman like this.
"No need!" Mu Yuan raised her hand and signaled the two demon hunters to retreat, "I'll handle it myself." She turned the body over,
Li Huaiyun squatted down, cut open the chest and abdomen of the corpse with the tip of a knife, and took out the ribs. The internal organs of the entire corpse had shrunk to a great extent and were shriveled.
Then, he broke the ribs and found that part of the bone was already empty.
He carefully observed the internal organs and other tissues in the body to see if there were seals wrapped in talismans.
These corpses simply sucked away their essence, causing their bodies to shrink extremely.
What kind of monster needs such a large amount of energy!
Li Huaiyun stood up and returned the saber to the man. These corpses were waiting for someone to claim them.
He took off his gloves and clapped his hands, "These corpses are almost the same, and the causes of death are almost the same."
"Now we should first determine where these corpses were drained of their essence."
Li Huaiyun looked around and found the tavern across the street. The house had three floors. The private room on the highest floor basically overlooked the surrounding area.
"Put a mark on all the streets where the bodies are located! Stop by and ask the surrounding neighbors. Ask who was there last night and what specific circumstances they found!"
"OK!"
Li Huaiyun waved to Mu Yuan, "Follow me!" They walked into the tavern and explained their purpose to the waiter, who had an expression of disbelief on his face.
He felt the doubts from the waiter in the store. However, considering his professional status, the waiter was quite cooperative. After all, it was a monster causing trouble. What if one day in the future, the store would need them too!
The waiter took them to the third floor of the restaurant. It was ventilated on all sides and had a good view. Because of the height, they could even see some of the conditions in the imperial city.
Li Huaiyun walked up, leaned against the window, and then leaned outwards. This area was almost the same, and he could have a panoramic view. In addition, the monster hunters had marked the alleys, so they could be seen intuitively. He found that The corpses were all around the middle area.
Mu Yuan walked up and asked curiously, "What do you want to see when you come here? Do you think the layout of the houses here is strange?"
"Layout? What do you mean?"
"It's about the feng shui of the house here. Is it good?"
"No! I'm not thinking about this issue," Li Huaiyun explained, "I'm looking at the discarded bodies! Where they were originally."
"Ah! Where was it originally? This is it?"
"You have to know that although these corpses were dumped in an alley, this is also a very important clue, because the purpose of throwing these corpses from the crime scene was to prevent them from being discovered by others, and now they are not far away. It means I don’t have the energy to deal with so much.”
He raised his hand and pointed to a place in front of him, "Judging from the situation at the scene, these corpses should be around that area."
He forced his memory to remember all the places he just pointed out in his mind. When he returned to the street again, he could directly speak and ask about the situation.
After Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan arrived nearby, they saw about a dozen families living here. After careful screening, they determined that only a few houses were uninhabited.
"The crime scene should be an area where almost no one lives."
Mu Yuan also nodded, "Indeed, if no one lives there, the confidentiality will be better. I hope no one knows about this place, so that we can inspect it more conveniently."
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan walked around again, but found nothing. However, there was a room that caught their attention.
There is still a red lantern hanging in front of the door of this house, and the paint on the door is relatively new.
They first went to a few other houses to check to make sure there was nothing suspicious. However, in one of the houses, there were a bunch of unknown statues of gods and goddesses.
In that gloomy and dim atmosphere, it made people's hair stand on end. Li Huaiyun speculated that that family should have been in the stone statue carving business before.
They came to the house with a lantern hanging on it. The bright red color on the lantern was so red that it made people feel uncomfortable, and it was accompanied by a faint fishy smell.
