As Guo Gang reminded, with the death of Lin Yuanwai, the grave man is the one who is most worried now.
This is the problem that urgently needs to be solved.
Especially today is the last day.
Once the ten-day deadline is missed, although the grave man will disappear on his own, the tavern clerk and others who came into contact with him will also be buried with him.
"Sister Leng, is it possible that the grave man He Qingyu has been killed by Lin Yuanwai?"
Meng Xiaotu gave a guess.
Leng Xinnan tried her best to stay calm, rubbed her brows and said, "If he is really dead, that would be a good thing. I'm afraid he is still alive."
Yes, who can guarantee that Lin Yuanwai will definitely kill the grave man after returning home?
I was afraid that I would die before I could kill him.
"You're so smart, please think of a way." Meng Xiaotu shook the man's arm and began to ask for help.
Facing the expectant looks of everyone, Li Nanke said helplessly: "I'm thinking, if it weren't for me, wouldn't you be able to do anything? Can you just wait for the Grave Man to disappear on his own?"
Leng Xinnan was a little surprised and said frankly: "Although the Night Patrol Division has experienced so many years and has greatly improved its overall strength and experience, not every case can be solved.
Even the Kyoto Night Patrol Division is the same, especially when it comes to the Grave Man. It is already very good to maintain a 50% success rate. Our Suzaku Division has handled a total of nineteen cases involving the Grave Man, and only eight of them have been successfully completed. "
This is the sentiment of all members of the Night Watch Division.
I'm not afraid of monsters or nightmares, but I'm afraid of someone from the grave.
People are the most difficult to deal with.
Li Nanke was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the woman's charming and soft side face and asked: "Master Leng, if the Grave Man is killed, will its body still be there?"
Leng Xinnan shook his head: "No, once the tomb man dies, its body will disappear. But it will leave a special smell of rotten acid. This smell cannot be eliminated and will not dissipate until about seven days."
Li Nanke didn't say anything. He walked directly to the master bedroom next door where Lin Yuanwai and Mei Xing'er lived before. Then he opened the familiar secret door on the bed and got closer and smelled it.
"She should still be alive," the man said.
Leng Xinnan looked stunned: "He Qingyu, the grave man, is hiding here?"
Li Nanke shrugged: "It seems that this is the only place where Lin Mansion can hide people. I remember when I told him that there might be a tunnel in the room, although Lin didn't hide anything, his reaction was a bit exaggerated.
You might as well recall his behavior at that time. He first opened the secret door, and then jumped in in a hurry without waiting for us to check.
Remember, he jumped directly, not using a ladder.
You could say that he was worried about his wife, but at that time, there was no guarantee that his wife would be down there.
Another point is that after jumping down outside the forest, the tunnel secret room was actually very quiet. But when we got down, there was a sound of the fan driven by the water tanker outside, which was obviously a problem. "
Leng Xinnan's beautiful eyes sparkled. "Liu Yuanwai is anxious to go down, not because of his wife, but because he wants to hide something else!"
"That's right."
Li Nanke smiled and nodded. "Another point is that after Mrs. Lin was rescued, she said she heard her old lover shouting 'help' in a daze. She thought it was an auditory hallucination and didn't care. But the problem is, she was really Auditory hallucinations?"
Leng Xinnan no longer hesitated and led people into the passage.
As Li Nanke said, this time everyone did not hear the sound of the fan after entering the tunnel secret room.
But there are walls all around, making it difficult to hide.
"There should be a secret door, look for -"
Before Li Nanke finished speaking, Meng Xiaotu swung his meteor hammers and hit the wall next to him. With a bang, a large hole was opened in the hard wall.
Through the gap in the ruins, a man can be seen tied to a chair.
The man was wearing a moon-white gown. He had a scholarly appearance, a pale face, and a sickly look.
It is He Qingyu, the resurrected grave man!
Li Nanke extended his thumb towards Meng Xiaotu and couldn't help but admire: "Sure enough, there are advantages to being brainless. Although it is a bit violent, it saves a lot of time."
"Brainless? Why do you think I'm brainless?"
Meng Xiaotu put her hands on her hips and pouted her mouth angrily.
Leng Xinnan stared at the man with pretty eyes: "You already knew that the grave man He Qingyu was imprisoned here, why didn't you tell us?"
"I just want these two men to work it out among themselves."
Li Nanke gave a reason that was not a reason, then entered the inner room sideways through the gap, and came to the grave man He Qingyu.
The latter was quite lethargic and looked extremely tired.
After noticing the person coming, he reluctantly opened his eyelids.
"Introduce yourself."
Li Nanke took out the gun and pointed it at the opponent's eyebrows. "My name is Li Nanke. I not only captured your wife, but also killed your daughter. But I am a good person. Can you introduce yourself?"
Grave Man He Qingyu slowly closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a dead man."
It can be seen from this sentence that Lin Yuanwai has told it everything.
"Congratulations, you got it."
Li Nanke pulled the trigger.
But strangely, no gunshots were fired.
Even He Qingyu, the grave man waiting to die, opened his eyes in confusion.
"Go say goodbye to Mei Xing'er for the last time." Li Nanke sighed, turned to Leng Xinnan and said. "Give me some face, okay?"
Leng Xinnan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay."
…
The blood-red sunset slowly sank among the scattered clouds.
The rose-colored twilight shrouded the Night Patrol Prison, coating this gloomy house with a layer of miserable blood red.
Li Nanke leaned against the wall, looking at the sunset in trance.
Guo Gang and others carefully guarded the only exit of the prison to prevent He Qingyu, the grave man, from escaping.
"Sometimes I wonder why the Grave Man appears."
Leng Xinnan's slender fingers as long as green onions were stroking a fallen leaf she had picked up, her eyes as trance-like as smoke. "Perhaps it is to say goodbye again to those relatives, lovers, and friends who have been separated forever because they had no time to say goodbye.
It's a pity that human emotions are always selfish. No one wants to die, no one wants to leave his lover and relatives forever.
Resurrection from the dead will make people cherish their own lives more and cherish what they once ignored..."
Leng Xinnan sighed, focused her eyes on the man's handsome profile, and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Nanke remained silent, looking at the red sun in the distance.
After a long time, Li Nanke finally said: "We are in trouble."
"What?"
Leng Xinnan looked dazed and asked as if he had a clear understanding. "Is it the Sky Sect?"
"Um."
The man nodded, his expression solemn as never before.
Leng Xinnan said: "I have already reported this matter, and the Shadow Guards will handle it. Anything involving the Tianqiong Sect must be handed over to the Shadow Guards for investigation. We are only assisting."
"The murderer is provoking us and coming for us."
Li Nanke expressed his judgment. "She put the imprint pattern on the painting in a big way, and no traces were erased on the scene. She is provoking us. Believe me, something will happen soon."
"Then what should we do? How about dispatching manpower from Yuncheng to conduct a more rigorous search?"
Leng Xinnan immediately suggested.
Just as Li Nanke was about to speak, a little boy holding a candied haws suddenly came over, raised the envelope in his hand high, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, someone gave you a letter."
letter……
Li Nanke's eyes flashed and he took the envelope.
Leng Xinnan quickly asked the boy: "Who gave you the letter? Where did you give it?"
"No need to ask, it's that mysterious woman."
Li Nanke signaled the frightened little boy to leave and opened the envelope.
There are three letters in total.
There is still some rouge smell left on it.
After reading the first letter, Li Nanke curled his lips, handed the letter to the woman and said, "This is the letter from Lin Yuwai, telling me the whereabouts of the grave man He Qingyu."
Leng Xinnan was surprised: "Did the mysterious woman take away the letter given to you by Lin Yuwai?"
"No, in that case, it should have been given to the mysterious woman by Lin Yuwai and asked her to pass it on to me." Li Nanke thought for a moment and then rejected Leng Xinnan's conjecture.
From this, it can be confirmed that Lin Yuanwai did know the mysterious woman.
And they are old acquaintances with good relations.
Leng Xinnan was confused: "Are you sure? Then why did the mysterious woman hand it over to you now?"
Li Nanke shook his head and smiled: "She is secretly observing to see if I can find He Qingyu, the grave man. If I can't find him, she will forward the letter to me."
Li Nanke said and opened the second letter.
"She heard the forest officer praise me as a talented person and recommended me to join the Tianqiong Sect. But before that, she wanted to test me to see if I was qualified to enter the Tianqiong Sect."
"You must be sick."
Hearing this, Leng Xinnan raised her eyebrows.
Li Nanke opened the third letter, and after reading it, he said: "She said that in five days, a big case will happen in Dongqi County, and she hopes that I can take the initiative to participate.
In addition, she will send me a separate case as a meeting gift tomorrow evening. And, will meet with me. "
Leng Xinnan took the letter in the man's hand and read it carefully several times, her pretty face becoming colder.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Leng Xinnan clenched her pink fist tightly and said in a cold voice: "I will immediately notify Yuncheng to send more experts over. I want to see how capable this woman is and how dare she challenge the imperial court!"
Li Nanke put the letter away with a heavy heart.
We are not afraid of enemies hiding in the shadows, but we are afraid of enemies who are hiding in the shadows but openly provocative.
At this time, He Qingyu, the grave man, came out of the prison.
Everyone quickly surrounded him.
Nowadays, there are many people who come into contact with him. If he is allowed to slip away, everyone will be in trouble.
"Have you finished saying goodbye?"
Li Nanke walked up to the grave man He Qingyu and asked.
Gratitude appeared on the latter's pale face: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for giving me the opportunity to make up for my regrets."
"Are you ready?"
Li Nanke picked up the firecracker - this time it was the firecracker given to him by Caiyun, which could be fired.
"Let Guo Gang and the others come."
Leng Xinnan didn't want Li Nanke to have too much life debt on his hands.
However, the man shook his head firmly: "I'll do it."
The girl had no choice but to give up.
Grave Man He Qingyu took a deep breath. Facing the black muzzle in front of him, he showed no fear at all, only a calm smile.
"Ready."
"Any last words?"
"I've already told Xing'er." Grave Man He Qingyu paused and looked at Li Nanke with a complicated expression. "It's a pity that we didn't meet earlier, otherwise I really wanted to be friends with you."
"Thank you, but I'm not interested."
Li Nanke was ready to shoot.
"Didn't you say goodbye to me?" Grave Man He Qingyu asked with a smile.
Li Nanke tilted his head and thought for a long time, but could not think of any suitable farewell words. The scene of Lin Jiaoyue taking off her clothes and negotiating with him on the cliff suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said lightly: "Your daughter has a good figure."
boom!
Gunfire rang out.
The person in front of him suddenly scattered like shards of glass, and then disappeared into the air.
At the same time, a white bead quietly sank into Li Nanke's heart. No one else noticed except me.
