As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. If you think about it carefully, this is really true. If you want to practice, it must be better to eat the hearts of young people. Why eat the hearts of old people?
Mu Ran and the others looked at each other, their expressions becoming more solemn. Zhou Wan touched his chin and said, "I'm afraid there is some secret to this matter, County Magistrate Liu——"
Liu Zhixian hurriedly stood up and said, "Here you are!"
Zhou Wan asked: "What aspects did you ask people to check before? Are you sure they really have nothing to do with each other?"
Liu Zhixian scratched his black gauze hat and said, "This...I asked someone to check it. They really have nothing to do with each other."
"Does that mean you didn't check the relationship behind the scenes?" Mu Ran narrowed his eyes.
Liu Zhixian broke into a cold sweat and said with a grimace: "Master Immortal, aren't you making things difficult for me? How are we going to investigate this? There are so many people who can't be hit by eight poles at ordinary times, how can we investigate?"
Others wanted to say something, but Huo Fulai raised his hand to stop him and said to Liu Zhixian: "It's easy to check, but we have to check. There must be some relationship between them. They may not be relatives or friends. They may have been somewhere before." , or have met a certain person, this is also a connection, don’t ignore those inconspicuous things, let the people below carefully check where they have been during their lifetime.”
Liu Zhixian was stunned and suddenly had an idea, "Okay, okay, I'll have someone go check it out right now!"

Liu Zhixian's speed was quite fast, and all the county government officials were dispatched. In addition, during this period of time, the monsters were causing panic, and the people were very cooperative, hoping to catch the monsters as soon as possible. It was described in detail.
But the clues are still unclear.
That night, Magistrate Liu was worried about where several people would live.
"Mr. Huo, are you staying at the county government office or going to an inn?"
That was the question, but Liu Zhixian's eyes were straight, and he obviously wanted a few people to stay.
Huo Fu came to see it, shook his head and said, "We won't sleep tonight."
Liu Zhixian: "Huh?"
Lou Jinhuan nodded, "How can we sleep peacefully knowing that monsters may attack at night at any time? There are five of us in our group, occupying one position in the southeast, northwest, and the senior brother is in the center. If any situation arises, he can use the fastest Hurry over quickly."
Huo Fulai nodded.
Others have no objections, this is the best arrangement.
Liu Zhixian was about to cry, but said, "That's it, then... well, I'll accompany Mr. Huo to the center of the town."
Lou Jinhuan glanced at him. Liu Zhixian's face turned red and he avoided her sight.
He also knew that he was extremely cowardly, but he was really scared!
In the end, Lou Jinhuan went to the east, Mu Ran to the west, Zhou Wan to the north, Du Feng to the south, and Huo Fulai sat in the center.
The five of them hid in the dark and waited quietly.

However, until the sky turned white, there was no movement at all.
The monster did not appear.
I don’t know if she sensed the danger and ran away in advance or if it wasn’t time for her to commit the crime.
Liu Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still worried.
It's like there is a sword hanging above your head. You know it will fall, but you don't know when. You are afraid that it will fall, but you are also afraid that it will not fall.
After struggling like this for three days, the officials who went to investigate finally made some progress.
All the deceased went to an abandoned alley in the city before their death.
No one lives there anymore. At the end of the alley is an abandoned house, which is full of weeds. It is now withered and yellow, and it looks very desolate.
The moment Lou Jinhuan and the others pushed the door open, they smelled a vague smell of blood.
