Chapter 12
In the courtyard, the blond child was holding a small round fan and was confronting a white-clothed Taoist. The atmosphere between the two was very serious.
Suddenly, I saw the round fan in the child's hand waved, and there was a strong wind in the courtyard, and all kinds of debris, large and small, were swept up by the wind and thrown towards the Taoist opposite.
The Taoist figure in white was extremely sensitive, he easily avoided those sundries, and rushed towards the little child extremely fast.
Before Shaoyu could put down the fan, Xie Chen approached her.
So fast!Shaoyu stared blankly at Daoist Xie unhurriedly pulling out a talisman from his sleeve and letting him stick it on his head.
"too slow."
"Master QAQ..."
Xie Chen looked at his teary-eyed little apprentice, looked at his short figure and sighed. "In the future, when fighting with others, pay attention to keeping a distance."
"Understood Master!" Xiao Tiangou nodded, clenched the small fan in his hand and looked at Xie Chen longingly.
"Then can master lend me the wooden martial boy to practice today?"
"Yes." Xie Chen generously took out the wooden Wutong and handed it to his apprentice.
"Thank you, master!" Shaoyu happily picked up Mu Wutong and went to practice in the open space on the other side, but he didn't know that the indifferent master on his face was bleeding in his heart at this moment.
I'm sorry my brother Tangmen, I have to let your wife taste the feeling of dismemberment again.
While Xie Chen was thinking this way, he went out. He and the drug seller made an appointment to meet at noon. As for where to meet... just look at his divination board showing where the drug seller is.
This teammate, goodbye manually.
Of
In the past few days, several skinned female corpses suddenly appeared in various places in Edo, causing panic here, and almost no women appeared on the street.
now
The largest brothel in Edo, Meng Huaixiang.
Xie Chen, who came to resolve this matter with the drug seller, is now standing under the huge and gorgeous signboard. He stood there motionless, until those gorgeously dressed girls surrounded him and approached him, he felt like a dream. Wake up and dodge the hands reaching out to him, and dodge into the courtyard.
Relying on the money on his body, he easily found out where the drug seller was from the wandering girls, and some wandering girls volunteered to guide him and lead him there.
As a result, he had just arrived at the door of the room where the drug seller was, when he saw the other party invite the mother here out of the room, and he didn't know what he said, so he made the mother blush and nodded as if to agree what.
Then the mother turned her head and saw Daoist Xie, she exaggeratedly twisted up a handkerchief and called out to the wandering girls not far away to come and pick up the guests, and when Daoist Xie was sweating profusely, she handed over a few huge pearls to the other party, over and over again After San's persuasion, the other party reluctantly beckoned them to retreat together, leaving Xie Chen and the drug seller sitting face to face in the room.
Xie Chen glanced over the only low table in the house, and found that it was filled with all kinds of bottles and cans representing harmony. He looked at the drug seller hesitantly, with a somewhat tangled expression. .
He remembered that the medicine box for selling medicine was only this big. Except for the layer where he put the scales, the other drawers didn’t seem to have unlimited space like the universe in his sleeve. The amount of medicine seemed to be the space occupied by the medicine box. It's all the amount.
"It's true, it's not serious." Daoist Xie looked at the medicine seller's opened medicine box again with complicated eyes, and after embarrassingly averted his eyes again, he said these words with difficulty.
"Ah... I haven't done anything dishonest, here is the best place to inquire about news, and the dead who were skinned to death by monsters are all prostitutes from this store." The drug seller said calmly. Those medicines that had not been sold were put back into the medicine cabinet one by one, and the third drawer that was opened at an unknown time and filled with harmonious reading materials was closed.
"Did you get any news?" Xie Chen immediately became serious when he mentioned something related to this incident.
"Those dead women all had contact with the same man before they were alive." The drug seller casually glanced at the hexagram plate Xie Chen took out from his sleeve, and then asked.
"Where is the Taoist priest? Did you inquire about the Tao?"
"Not much. There may be nobles involved in the middle, so there are not many things to inquire about."
Xie Chen moved his fingers, pointing slightly at the roof.
The medicine seller understood, he stood up, carried his medicine box on his back, and stretched out his hand to Xie Chen who was still sitting on the ground. "Go back." Wait until you go back and explain one by one.
Of
"Several people have witnessed signs that the deceased was still active on the street after death, but unfortunately, none of these witnesses survived." Therefore, he asked the souls of those witnesses.
The drug seller handed the brewed tea to Xie Chen, Xie Chen took it, took a sip before continuing, "They saw those dead people, and they all entered Hino's house in the end, but those dead people died before they saw them." is dead."
"I once thought it was painted skin." Xie Chen frowned
"It's not painted skin. Painted skin doesn't change human skin so frequently." The medicine seller said Shi Shiran, holding his teacup. "In less than three days, two people were skinned one after another, too often."
"That's right, so the only clue now is the nobleman surnamed Hino." Xie Chen knocked on the table, took out his hexagram plate and put it on the table.
The drug seller looked at the ominous omen displayed on the other party's hexagram, and he said after a while, "It seems that tonight, the Taoist priest will be like me, and he won't be able to sleep."
Of
midnight
At this time, on the roof of the Hino family's main house, two men in black were quietly removing a tile on the roof, exposing a small gap to observe the situation inside.
On the big bed in the middle, a man and a woman were entangled together, rolling in the red waves, completing a great harmony of life.
Xie Chen and the drug seller posted a hidden talisman and nested on the roof of the house, and saw a free live/spring/gong just like that. Daoist Xie was embarrassed, and the drug seller was happy.
After the man got up from the woman, they saw the woman's face, which was the face of a prostitute who had just died two days ago.
Xie Chen made a gesture to the drug seller, and when he saw the other nod, he immediately pulled him up to perform a two-person light work, and flew back to the temporary residence without stopping.
Xie Chen walked into the house first, lit a lamp and said to the drug seller who came in later.
"It's a bone girl, you should have received her shape."
The drug seller was holding the demon sword and whispering something in a low voice, he opened his mouth when he heard Xie Chen's words.
"Well, I received it. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the Taoist priest for the next truth and truth."
