Chapter 112 Are you okay?
He looked at me with a timid look in his eyes, which revealed a hint of fear.
He looked at me cautiously, and I quickly said, "It's true."
My cousin said carelessly, "Look at how cowardly you are. If we wanted to do something to you, we would have done it to you a long time ago. Why do you have to complain so much?"
At first, I was worried that my uncle would scare him.
But what I didn't expect was that my cousin's words actually dispelled his doubts.
He stood up slowly, glanced at us, and said, "You, are you the Landlord of Fengcheng Township?"
"yes."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a crying voice: "My humble servant greets you, sir."
"Get up and talk."
I went forward and helped him stand up. He was so excited that I almost cried seeing him like this.
"Yes, sir, thank you very much, sir."
He was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Seeing this, I said, "You don't have to thank me. What's your name?"
"My name is Lu Haolin."
"Lu Haolin, let me ask you, what exactly happened here? Tell me everything."
After I asked this question, Lu Haolin's expression suddenly changed. He stared at me and said, "Sir, you'd better not get involved in this place. It's very dangerous here. Someone is stealing souls."
"I know. I came here to deal with this matter."
"Sir, the colleagues who came here to investigate earlier are all dead."
Lu Haolin's voice gradually became a little sharp, and just listening to it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"What are you afraid of? You are so cowardly that you are really embarrassing our Master Chen. Speak properly and don't be so startled."
My cousin said quickly.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but say, "If you have anything to say, just tell me in detail what happened here, and then I can send you to the underworld to live a peaceful life."
I spoke word by word.
He looked up at me, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.
"Um?"
I hummed in confusion.
"Master Chen, I know very little. What I just said is all I know."
I
His voice was a little low, and he seemed a little timid.
"Can you give me a list of the people whose souls were stolen?"
"Yes, sir, but I know it's not comprehensive, so I can only provide a part of it."
"That's fine, Nianci, you can connect with him."
"Yes, sir."
Fang Nianci quickly started to connect with Lu Haolin about what happened here. Fang Nianci was very serious and recorded everything.
I continued to look around the environment. At first glance, there didn't seem to be any major problems here.
However, there are too many locust trees in this Huaishu Village, and the probability of hidden evil is too high, so it is very likely that there are some dangerous creatures hidden here.
After about half an hour, Fang Nianci told me that everything had been recorded.
Lu Haolin also came close to me and asked me in a low voice: "Master Chen, can you really send me back to the underworld?"
"Of course, but it will have to wait until later. Now you have to lead the way for us."
Lu Haolin's expression turned ugly after hearing what I said, but in this situation, he didn't have many choices, so he could only nod and agree, "Okay."
Fang Nianci followed me and asked, "Chen Yang, where are we going first?"
"Just go with the first one on your notebook."
I glanced at the notebook and found that the deceased's name was Chen Fa, and he was a relative of mine. He was fifty years old this year. After his death, his soul did not go to the underworld, but was directly stolen from his home.
It’s called stealing, but actually it feels to me more like taking away the soul of the deceased in broad daylight.
If they wanted to take away the soul of the deceased, then they must have appeared nearby.
Moreover, this person is very courageous. When the underworld sent people to investigate, he dared to kill the underworld's evil messengers. In summary, he is a very dangerous person.
I took a deep breath and walked towards Chen Fa's house.
My cousin uncle said to me, "Xiaoyang, if that bastard comes out later, let's kill him directly. Maybe if we catch the murderer this time, you can get a promotion in the underworld."
I nodded, but didn't continue talking about this matter.
The most urgent task now is to resolve this matter first.
Lu Haolin was quite familiar with the environment of Huaishu Township. He led us forward. After about half an hour, we arrived at the door of a house.
But it was a little late at this time and everyone in the family had already fallen asleep.
I looked inside from outside and found that there was nothing special about .
There are no evil objects nearby.
I then said, "Let's go to the next one."
"Sir, shouldn't we take a look?"
Lu Haolin on the side suddenly spoke.
"Need not."
We then visited the homes of a dozen or so deceased persons, and the situations were basically the same, nothing special.
I thought to myself that since the murderer had already committed the crime, he would not stay in the victim's home.
Then it will most likely be at the next household.
My mind couldn't help but sink at this moment, as I thought of one thing: since the souls of these dead people had been stolen by someone, there must be something "common" among these people.
I glanced at Lu Haolin, and Lu Haolin seemed to be forced back by my gaze.
He still timidly asked me, "Sir, why are you looking at me?"
"I ask you, do these dead people have anything in common?"
"Yes, we have investigated before, and all of these deceased people were born in Yin years."
"oh?"
"Yes, sir, as far as we know, this is the case. I dare not lie to you, sir. If you do not disbelieve me, you can investigate it yourself."
"I believe you, but..."
"But whatever, sir, please tell me."
I continued to look at Lu Haolin. I always felt that there was something wrong with this Lu Haolin. As a ghost messenger from the underworld, he did not go back to the underworld to report the situation and did not investigate the case here.
Instead, he has been hiding, looking like he is afraid of death.
This made me very confused, so I couldn't help but ask, "Lu Haolin, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why do you stay here and not go back to the underworld?"
I asked the doubts in my mind.
"Sir, I dare not. The ghost messengers who worked with me here all met with accidents. Nothing happened to me. I am afraid that I will not be able to explain myself clearly when I return to the underworld."
He explained with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Yeah, then tell me why others got into trouble but you didn't?" I asked the key question.
