Chapter 388 The Murderer Is You(1/2)
Du Wukui's corpse changed unexpectedly.
Even more unexpectedly, the cat demon actually took action to "kill" Du Wukui.
This made everyone present stunned.
Qin Xing murmured, "How could this happen?"
Fan Xiaodao looked at Du Wukui's rotten corpse and confirmed that the other party was dead again, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought carefully about the cause and effect and suddenly said: "I understand! The reason why the cat demon killed those people is because they took kiwi fruit. After taking this fruit, the body will change like Du Wukui, so it digs its eyes, hollows out its internal organs, and burns it together. It is not harming people, but protecting everyone!"
The cat demon did not kill people on purpose, but just eliminated people who took kiwi fruit.
In this way, many things make sense.
Now that the cat demon was pierced by Du Wukui, he was probably seriously injured. Only Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing knew about the cave where it was hiding. They decided to go there again to completely understand the causes and consequences of this matter, and give an explanation to the people of Changping.
Everyone carried Du Wukui's body back to the charity village, and hollowed out its internal organs like a cat demon, and burned them to ashes with a fire. Fan Xiaodao was afraid that it would not be safe, so he asked someone to dig a big hole and put quicklime on it, preparing to dispose of all the corpses.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xing came to knock on the door early the next morning.
"The Jinyiwei accepted this case!"
"What?"
Fan Xiaodao was a little surprised. Although the Jinyiwei had a special department to deal with such a case of strange power and chaos, Fan Xiaodao did not expect that the other party's actions would be so fast. When he arrived at the yamen, he led a team of a man wearing a flying fish suit and a silver mask.
Fan Xiaodao had seen this person in Xue Yingxiong's mansion before, and always felt familiar.
His voice was hoarse. When he saw the two, his body trembled slightly. He immediately said coldly: "Two captains, now, the cat demon murder case will be taken over by our Jinyiwei. You two will prepare for it and make a formal handover with you later."
Fan Xiaodao was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "We have been chasing this case and will be investigated soon. Isn't it appropriate for you to intervene?"
The man in silver mask said, "We are on order!"
"What happened in Xiaotang Temple?"
The masked man said, "Nothing can be told. In addition, the lord specially instructed the two captains not to go to Xiao Tangguan's idea again, otherwise our Jinyiwei will intervene."
This sentence is obviously warning the two of them.
But the more this happens, the more the two of them want to find out.
Since it is not easy to be clear, then it is dark.
The masked man said, "Captain Qin said, you two have been to the cat demon's nest, please tell me the specific location."
Fan Xiaodao said: "The Jinyiwei will not let us interfere. You can go and search for it yourself. With the ability of your Jinyiwei, I believe it is only a matter of being able to capture it."
Seeing that he was so disagreeable, the masked man said sternly: "Fan Xiaodao, do you know who you are talking to?"
"I have no interest in knowing who a person who dares not show his true face."
The two walked out of the yamen.
Zhao Xingdao: "As soon as we found out about Xiao Tangguan, the people from the Jinyiwei came. Could it be a coincidence?"
Fan Xiaodao asked, "Do you know who the person was just now?"
"who?"
Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment, "If you guessed correctly, it should be Li Zhili."
Zhao Xing suddenly realized, "After you say this, although your voice has changed, it is indeed a bit similar."
Back then, Li Zhixing committed suicide by taking poison. Xue Yingxiong took Li Zhili away. Unexpectedly, not only did he not kill him, but he was allowed to join the Jinyiwei. You know, Li Zhili was involved in the Northern Zhou spy case and had already been on the list of the imperial court's killings. However, Xue Yingxiong dared to take the world's worst, which was indeed a very risky thing.
Fan Xiaodao said: "Someone doesn't want us to check the matter about Xiaotang Temple."
Zhao Xingdao: "The more we do this, the more we need to find out."
Fan Xiaodao said: "That's the intention. However, last night, the cat demon fled with wounds. The Jinyiwei was mobilizing people to search the mountain for the second time to find the whereabouts of the cat demon. We have to hurry up and find the cat demon before them. Yesterday, the cat demon led us there, and there are still some things that have not been clear."
The two have removed the right to investigate the case.
Then all the actions afterwards were private investigations by the two.
The two returned to the forest and came to the cave yesterday.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they heard a series of low cat crying from the cave. The two of them lit torches and walked in. They saw the cat demon curled up in the corner, their bodies twitching constantly, and a rotten smell filled the cave. Last night, Du Wukui pierced its heart, and vitality was gradually disappearing from it.
After these two days of incident, the two of them no longer regarded it as an enemy, and their hostility also retreated.
Just watching it curl up and struggle in pain.
Seeing the two, a light flashed in the cat demon's eyes.
Fan Xiaodao said, "Brother Mao, we have come to see you. Before, we blamed you wrongly."
The cat demon meowed and raised his head weakly. He crawled on the ground and could understand people's words, but he couldn't speak. So Fan Xiaodao had already thought about the problem and just nodded or shook his head. It was already in danger of life, but these things must be confirmed with it.
Fan Xiaodao apologized first.
"You killed those people because they took kiwi, right?"
The cat nodded.
"After taking kiwi fruit, those people will become like Du Wukui who was last night. People don't look like humans, ghosts don't look like ghosts, right?"
The cat nodded.
Fan Xiaodao pointed to the mural on the wall, "Are you being given medicine by someone? Is this what you have become?"
The cat nodded.
"You used to live in the capital?"
The cat demon continued to nod.
"What's the secret in Xiaotang Temple?"
This time the cat demon did not nod or shook his head. It could not answer this question.
Fan Xiaodao changed his question, "Are those who turned you into this in Xiaotang Temple?"
The cat demon shook his head.
"Is it Taiping Taoist Temple?"
The cat demon meowed and shook his head again. It raised its claws with difficulty and pointed to the painting on the stone wall. Its body began to twitch violently, as if it was enduring great pain.
The cat demon showed a desperate look, as if he was begging the two of them to take action and give it a pleasure.
Seeing that she could not ask anything, Fan Xiaodao raised the Jinghong Sword and pressed it on its chest. The cat demon's eyes seemed to begging him to do something quickly. Fan Xiaodao sighed and said, "Farewell forever." With a slight force, the long sword penetrated into his chest, and the cat demon let out a low cry.
At this moment, it is freed.
Its eyes gradually faded, and its eyes fell on the courtyard on the mural, the girl with a red-headed rope outside the courtyard, and the couple looking at the door in the courtyard, spitting out two words: "Dad...mother..."
The cat demon is dead.
The two of them were also silent for a long time.
Zhao Xing stared at the second painting and asked, "Where is this?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "Although the cat demon denies it, I really can't think of any other place except Taiping Taoist Temple, which has this ability. Could it be that Taiping Taoist Temple has refined some elixirs and caught them to test the medicine, but it turned out to be this way?"
"Very likely."
At the beginning, the mighty general Qiu Huairen caught a cat demon in Wudang Mountain and sent it to Taiping Taoist Temple. However, this person had been living in the capital before, and it should not be the same. What is the purpose of Taiping Taoist Temple to study cat demons? Is it related to Your Majesty's Eternal Life Pill?
The two wanted to go to Taiping Taoist Temple to find out.
However, Taiping Taoist Temple is a key place in the royal family, with heavy troops inside and outside, and the Six Gates have no power to investigate this place at all.
It is harder to enter without knowing it.
I had to temporarily suppress this idea.
Just then, a barking sound came from outside.
Finally, the people from the Jinyiwei found this place.
Fan Xiaodao held his sword and wiped out all the murals on the wall.
As soon as they handled these things, the Jinyiwei people rushed in.
The masked man saw the two, "Why are you here?"
Fan Xiaodao laughed, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful here. We are free and want to enjoy them. Unexpectedly, we met a cat demon. In a big battle, we finally killed him under the sword."
Although I knew he was talking nonsense, there was no evidence.
The masked man saw the cat demon corpse on the ground and looked at the sword on its chest. After confirming that he died, he ordered his subordinates to wrap the body in white cloth and said to the two, "Two captains, we need you to cooperate, go to the yamen to record a confession and record all the things today."
Fan Xiaodao said: "We have already said that everything we know. The cat demon has been killed by us. If it is not recorded, it doesn't make any sense."
The masked man finally got angry, "Fan Xiaodao, don't toast and not eat and drink. If you are stubborn, you may be afraid that you will receive a summons from the Beizhen Fushi. At that time, you will go to the imperial prison to record your confession."
Fan Xiaodao smiled, "I'm waiting for the big trip!"
After saying that, he left with Zhao Xing.
When he passed by the masked man, Fan Xiaodao whispered, "Li Zhili, what is it like to do things for his enemies who have destroyed his family?"
The masked man was shocked and could not speak for a long time.
