Sometimes, for a man with the soul of a warrior, what defeats him is not the defeat in battle or the pain of being defeated. Because a real warrior is one who faces failure and dares to face the enemy's sword.
But pink gloves really don’t work.
Really can not.
Facing the Yingnan Iron Fist, which was flashing colorful lights and mainly in pink tones, the werewolf was immediately frightened, and an extremely miserable wolf howl filled the entire prison. It was so miserable that it made people feel sympathy.
Not to mention that the gloves kept playing cute cat sounds, and the meows entered the werewolf's ears, making the werewolf struggle in fear like an evil ghost urging his life. The chains wrapped around his body kept making iron collisions. The sound was very harsh.
With the light effect of the glove, Zhou Li turned his back to the surveillance device and the gazes of Luo Ya and other government personnel, and continuously injected black mist into the werewolf's body. The werewolf wanted to make a warning sound, but was suppressed by Zhou Li's shaking of the chain and merciless blows.
In fact, punching a werewolf with a pink cat punch was not simply an attempt to extract a confession. Zhou Li knew that this kind of fighting method would make the werewolf feel humiliated at most, but its actual effect would be almost zero. The main purpose of Zhou Li's use of this move was to use the lighting effect to inject black mist into the werewolf's body to prepare for subsequent actions.
Of course, this doesn't come without a price.
At least this time I really can't expose my identity. If Magnum and the gang knew that I used the pink cat fist to torture the werewolf to extract a confession, just think about it...
It's quite touching.
After getting rid of the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Zhou Li felt that the black mist had reached a critical value. His hands trembled, and his movements suddenly stopped as if the mechanical glove had become red and warm due to too many attacks. Suddenly, there was an explosion, and a thick black mist filled the small prison.
Forty seconds.
After commanding the black mist to temporarily block the prison door, Zhou Li grabbed the werewolf's throat in the black mist as if nothing had happened. He looked at the werewolf who looked confused in the face of the unexpected incident and pulled out the dagger.
"you!!!"
When the werewolf saw the sterling silver dagger engraved with snake patterns, the werewolf kept letting out low roars from his throat, and his blood-red eyes were filled with rage. He struggled wildly, letting the chains inserted into his limbs pull him. With all his nerves, he also wanted to avoid the small and delicate dagger.
"Recognize it?"
Zhou Li raised his eyebrows, a look of interest appeared on his face. The werewolf was completely unable to think. He couldn't even understand why he could see Zhou Li clearly in such a thick black fog. Every cell in his body was warning him loudly to get out of here and escape from that dagger.
Without waiting for the werewolf's answer, Zhou Li took out the Bone Man's paper from his arms. When the werewolf saw the paper left by Bone Man, his struggling movements suddenly slowed down. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid anymore, but that the werewolf's last psychological defense had been completely destroyed.
The werewolf slumped down, and a disgusting smell came from his lower body. He collapsed weakly on the ground, and the iron chain pulled out an ugly scar on his flesh and blood, which was very hideous.
"Can't return, the book is not home"
Under the double pressure of the black mist and the skeletonized paper, the werewolf completely collapsed. He was trembling, curling up and wailing in pain:
"I am him, he is me! I am not a monster! Don't exile me! Don't exile me!"
"Oh I got it."
After Zhou Li heard these almost crazy words, the doubts he had been having were instantly revealed. He twirled the dagger in his hand, and then, under the werewolf's horrified gaze, pierced the Skeleton Man's paper.
When Skeleton Man's paper turned into ashes and was swallowed by the black snake, the werewolf's blood-red eyes were filled with the most desperate holes. Facing Zhou Li, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the werewolf murmured in a low voice:
"Master...why haven't you come back yet?"
"Why……"
After saying these three characters full of despair and anger, the werewolf lowered his head, no longer arrogant and arrogant. He collapsed on the ground like a frightened child, ignoring any stimulation from the outside world.
Soon, forty seconds passed.
"It's okay, the glove was overloaded and exploded."
As the heavy door slowly opened, Zhou Li threw out the remains of the glove and walked out of the prison holding his nose: "There's nothing wrong with the werewolf. Maybe he was frightened and kept talking nonsense. You guys should pay more attention to the werewolf recently. Talk to yourself and see if you can find any clues.”
"Mr. Folds, are you okay?"
Roja, who had just opened the door, came forward and asked with a worried look: "Do you need me to review the seller of this boxing glove?"
"Need not."
Zhou Li waved his hand, coughed twice and then kicked the remains of the glove. There were black explosion marks on his face, which looked a little funny. "This game is not meant for interrogation. There is no need to worry about such a trivial matter. Just rely on others."
"Also, I've got some leads that I need to investigate."
Taking the water balloon handed over by Eluma, Zhou Li washed his face and said to Roja: "The werewolf subconsciously shouted a name during the explosion just now. I have a guess that he is going to Count Mintz's house." Verify it at home.”
"no problem."
There was a new breakthrough in the case, and Roja immediately responded excitedly. Then he called the prison administrators and asked them to strictly monitor the werewolf. Then Roya took Zhou Li and Eluma back to the military vehicle and started driving towards Count Mintz's mansion.
"By the way, has Count Mintz's body been found?"
In response to Zhou Li's inquiry, Roya, who was driving, nodded and replied: "We found it. It was in the orchard of Count Mintz's house. It was discovered by the fruit farmer of Mintz's mansion. The body was buried under an apple. Under the tree, based on the degree of decay, it is estimated that the time of death was approximately fifteen minutes before the party, which matches the time of Count Mintz's head."
"Um."
Zhou Li nodded and then stopped talking.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the splendid Mintz mansion. After notifying their names, Luo Ya, Zhou Li and Eluma were invited into the mansion. After passing through the corridor filled with various works of art, Zhou Li and his party entered the dedicated living room of Count Mintz's residence.
"Sir Roja, Detective Folds, I wonder if the two of you coming to my house today mean there is a new breakthrough in the case?"
Because of the need to pay homage to the deceased, Mintzberg's wife, Meia, wore a long black dress and a veil. She looked at Zhou Li and his party, and said tiredly: "I'm really sorry. After my late husband left, things of all sizes piled up at home. I'm just an ordinary woman, and I spent too much energy dealing with these things. I didn't entertain you well today, please. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, Ms. Meia, I understand your sadness."
Roja stood up, saluted Meia, and then replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, although my personal ability is limited and I cannot play a decisive role in the case. But the Fuld next to me Detective Si has found clues about your husband's death, and he paid you a rash visit today just to give you the truth."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Meia's tired eyes became more radiant. She looked at Zhou Li and asked expectantly: "Have you found the mastermind who killed my husband?"
This strong woman never believed that her husband simply died at the hands of a werewolf. What she firmly believed was that there must be a mastermind behind this case. Therefore, Mrs. Meia has always been very dissatisfied with the official report. She believes that the government's drunkenness is just prevaricating the victims' families, and just wants to shift all the responsibilities to those monsters.
"The mastermind has not been found yet."
Zhou Li looked at Meiya with a disappointed look on her face, smiled, and then said: "But, I found a crucial clue. This clue is very important, and it may change your mind."
"oh?"
Mrs. Meia's expression changed, but she quickly hid it, "Then can you tell me this clue?"
"Okay, but I need Mrs. Meiya to cooperate with me to do something."
There was an unpredictable smile on Zhou Li's face, which made Mrs. Meiya feel chilled, but she quickly dispelled this feeling, cheered up and asked Zhou Li: "Excuse me, do you want me to cooperate with you?" what to do?"
"It's simple."
The smile on Zhou Li's face deepened. He stood up, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Ms. Meiya very gracefully: "I hope you will come with me."
"I want to see if your husband's head can be attached to his body."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole room was shocked.
Luo Ya was dumbfounded, and Mrs. Meia was even more horrified. She pointed at Zhou Li, her voice trembling with anger, and said angrily: "Detective Folds! Are you going too far?"
"Yes, Detective Folds, what you said is too blunt."
Luo Ya walked to Zhou Li and whispered quickly: "Ms. Meiya's husband just died, and you asked her to assemble the body. This is too irritating to others. Even if you want to say it, you have to wait a few days before saying it." .”
"Can't wait any longer."
Zhou Li let out a long sigh, then stretched his arms and said casually: "I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, Count Mintz will really die."
"ah?"
This time the excitement was even greater.
*********************************************
"Wu~~~"
He skipped to the room and threw himself into the soft bed with a flying swoop. The jade feet hanging from the white socks were slightly raised, revealing a white halo. Azi turned over and lay on the bed, closed her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
"The negotiations are over?"
Linghai, who was leaning on the bedside and flipping through books, sandwiched Ye Zi's bookmark among them, and then asked Azi with a slight smile: "How is it? Isn't it boring to argue with the Shadow Guild?"
"Puff puff puff~~"
AhZi pursed her lips and quacked like a little duck to Linghai to express her dissatisfaction. A'Zi naturally leaned her petite body against Ling Hai's body and said with an annoyed look:
"Ms. Linghai, please pay attention! If you hadn't refused to negotiate with me, I would have taken away the support of the Shadow Church. Now you are still laughing at me, do you have any conscience?"
"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, isn't it okay?"
Linghai tucked her long chestnut-colored hair behind her ears, then stretched out her hand, hugged the soft Ah Zi, and said with a chuckle: "It's not like you don't know me. I really can't go, so please ask Mr. Lin Zi to help me." Show mercy and help poor Xiaohai, okay?"
Facing the rare coquettish spirit sea, Azi was both angry and funny. The Muqi incident allowed Linghai to learn about her life experience, and at the same time she defeated her inner demons, making her mature a lot overnight. But at the same time, the president of the Shadow Union, who had always been at odds with Linghai, suddenly became Linghai's uncle. This shocking fact made Linghai, who had just calmed down, become excited again. Linghai seems to be a cold girl, but in fact, her acquaintances know that it is just a disguise she wears to cover up her shyness.
In fact, Linghai still wanted to meet the president of the Shadow Union, his only relative. However, due to various misunderstandings between the two before, and the fact that he had followed Zhou Li to expose the Shadow Union, Linghai really couldn't save his face and meet him.
"You are always like this."
Azi, who was leaning in Linghai's arms, sighed lightly, lowered her voice, pretended to be an adult and tapped the tip of Linghai's nose, and said with a serious face: "You should change this face-saving thing. . Think about it, if he were here, how would he arrange this negotiation with the Shadow Union?"
"He was eager to carry me in an eight-carat sedan, and he had to be the first to carry the sedan. Then when he saw Kenny, he bowed to the sedan, and then read out in a passionate voice about what my uncle should do to me. The obligations and responsibilities of the sole heir, and then force Kenny to obey and let the Shadow Union support all his decisions."
Without thinking, Linghai, who had followed Zhou Li's rhythm, quickly said what Zhou Li would do. After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then laughed out loud in unison. For a time, the room was filled with sweet silver bell laughter.
After a while, the laughter gradually subsided. Looking at the white ceiling, Ah Zi sighed, and then said to Ling Hai in a somewhat complicated manner: "Xiao Hai, why do I feel that I can't take any time off now?"
"There is no way, a brave man is like this whirlpool, which will always keep us in the whirlpool spinning."
Leaning his chin on Ah Zi's shoulder and smelling the delicious scent of lavender, Ling Hai said softly: "What's more, the brave man we met this time is a little too unique."
"yes."
Azizhu's lips opened slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face: "Who told us to meet him? But to be honest, we are lucky to have met him."
"Yes, without him, too many truths would have been buried in history. So, we would like to express our gratitude..."
Suddenly, Linghai was stunned.
Azi also noticed it. She looked at Linghai, with the same confusion in her eyes as Linghai.
Wait a minute, who is he?
