Chapter 11 Candlelight
Jiang Zhou's sudden question caught Wang Jinfa off guard and his face suddenly became flustered.
He stuttered, "Sir, I am the one playing the game here. If you don't understand it clearly, how can you see it clearly? There's nothing I can do about it. Ha, ha ha..."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The round-faced constable was not unhappy because Jiang Zhou acted on his own initiative. Instead, he saw something wrong and came over to whisper.
"Really?" Jiang Zhou did not answer, but just stared at Wang Jinfa.
He probably understood the temper of the round-faced constable and was not afraid that his behavior would offend him.
Wang Jinfa twisted his body a little unnaturally because of his stare, and Jiang Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Wang's candles look very beautiful when they burn. When candles burn in other houses, the room is dim. Although it is bright, it is also very depressing."
"But Mr. Wang's products are not only transparent and bright, but also very colorful. I wonder where I can buy them?"
When the round-faced constable heard Jiang Zhou's words, he quickly looked around and noticed that the candlelight that filled the room not only made the room as bright as day, but also seemed to have a faint colorful halo, like a rainbow after the rain.
But it's hard to notice without careful observation.
Although he still didn't know what Jiang Zhou was going to do, he immediately reacted and echoed Jiang Zhou, glaring at Wang Yuanwai and saying, "Yes, Wang Jinfa, where did you buy these candles? They are so beautiful, I want to buy some to bring back as a gift to my elders at home."
Wang Jinfa's expression could no longer conceal a hint of surprise and doubt.
Jiang Zhou smiled slightly.
He was worrying too much. It turned out that this fat guy was simply not very smart.
Although the round-faced constable didn't know what the candlelight was about, he knew that the man with the knife might have accidentally stabbed Mr. Wang in the vitals.
He couldn't help but said excitedly: "Wang Jinfa, you really have something wrong!"
Wang Yuanwai screamed, "Detective Yan, you can't wrongly accuse me!"
"Yeah?"
Jiang Zhou came to the wall, slowly looked at the row of candlesticks on the wall, then moved closer and sniffed a few times.
He turned around and said in surprise, "This candle not only looks good when it burns, but it also smells very good, huh? It seems to be the aroma of roasted meat, Mr. Wang, it's really amazing."
At this moment, Jiang Zhou's stomach began to churn again.
Dozens of families lost people and property.
It would be fine if the Ministry of Justice couldn't find the lost property. After all, there was no financial supervision in that era, and it was not easy to get the money back once it was spent.
It is incredible that dozens of living people disappeared without a trace.
But now, Jiang Zhou might know where those people have gone...
Wang Jinfa said in horror, "Sir, you must be too hungry. It's just some ordinary rosin wax. It has some fragrance, but where does the meat fragrance come from? I also added some cinnabar to it, so it has this strange glow."
"Still want to be tough?"
Jiang Zhou suddenly drew out the demon-slaying sword on his back and slashed at the illusory and invisible colorful halos in the air.
Scarlet blood burst out on the blade, and with a strange squeaking sound, the colorful halos suddenly shrank into one, like a rainbow more than ten feet long.
It was cut into two pieces by Jiang Zhou, fell to the ground, twisted and struggled for a few times, and then became silent.
The colorful rainbow light gradually dimmed and disappeared, revealing a strange creature that was completely transparent, resembled a snake but was not a snake, had heads at both ends, and no tail.
"Great! Wang Jinfa, you still don't admit that raising demons harms people?"
"Come with me!"
The round-faced constable directly untied the shackles around his waist and locked up Wang Jinfa .
"I didn't! I didn't! I didn't know! You framed me!"
Wang Jinfa struggled in horror.
"How dare you resist arrest? Get out of here!"
The round-faced constable glared with his eyes wide open, flashing with a hint of excitement. He knocked Wang Jinfa unconscious with a single strike, and then lifted up the 200-pound weight with one hand, as if he was lifting a chicken.
"When we get to the Ministry of Justice, I'll see if you're still stubborn!"
He sneered, turned around and showed his two rows of white teeth to Jiang Zhou: "Brother, thank you!"
"I didn't expect that you are such a real person who never reveals your identity. No wonder the Su Jing Division sent you here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Xiaowu. What's your name, brother?"
Jiang Zhou was not used to the other party's enthusiasm, so he laughed dryly: "Jiang Zhou."
"Brother Jiang! This time it's all thanks to your keen eye. I'll remember this, brother!"
He patted his chest, pointed at the strange thing on the ground and said, "I'll take this old guy back for interrogation first. Although demons are the business of your Sujing Division, the case is not over yet. I'll take this thing back as evidence and then send it back to the Sujing Division after that."
"Once this case is over, I'll treat Brother Jiang to a drink some other day!"
Having said that, he happily walked away carrying the two hundred pounds and two pieces of the demon corpse.
Jiang Zhou looked at the ghost and god atlas that had been unfolded in front of him, and recorded the true spirit that flew out of the demon corpse in his mind, thinking that he was lucky.
He didn't really see where this thing was hiding.
It’s just that Wang Jinfa’s performance was too obvious, and he clearly looked like “I have a problem, but you just can’t find it, and it’s going to piss you off to death.”
The second thing is these candles.
This theater was too clean. Neither the demon-slaying sword nor his eyes could detect any foul or evil spirits. It didn't look like a place with demons at all.
The only anomaly was that there were an unusually large number of candles and the smell was wrong.
People in this world use oil lamps and candles for lighting.
Most folk products are made from animal and plant fats and oils, and the taste is quite strong.
The Ministry of Justice came to check twice but failed to find anything, probably because they were careless out of habit.
Jiang Zhou had lived for more than twenty years and had rarely had the opportunity to use candles. Even if he did, they were colorless and odorless paraffin wax.
Very sensitive to the smell.
It's impossible not to be sensitive. It's just like the smell you get when you pass by a barbecue stall after working overtime late at night and your stomach is growling with hunger.
As for this colorful halo, although Jiang Zhou is not very good at science, he still has common sense.
Colorful flames can be obtained through the burning of different substances, but it is obviously a normal flame, but you emit colorful light to me. Do you think you are a rainbow maker?
Taking this cut is purely a gamble.
But Jiang Zhou did not expect that this thing was not hidden in the colorful halo, but was the colorful halo itself, invisible and intangible.
It is only thanks to the demon-slaying sword that we can kill such an invisible creature.
The images in the Ghost and God Atlas are already changing...
On the top of the towering mountain, above the vast sea of clouds, invisible energy intersects to form a seven-color rainbow bridge.
Over the years, the Rainbow Bridge has become a living thing, playing among the sea of clouds.
The scene turned, and it was unknown when Qi Cai Ni had arrived at the downtown of the human world, and met a street thug, that is, Wang Jinfa...
The picture changed a lot, and finally became a picture of "Rainbow Play":
In the theater, under a ray of colorful rainbow light, blood and flesh were piled up, and human candles were dripping.
