Chapter 263 The Way to Steal Life——Yin Yang Couple
But Zhang Mo, who had a great time last night and fell asleep when she returned to Liuhua Garden, was suddenly awakened by footsteps.
She got up and put on her shoes and socks, took off the dress hanging on the bedside, tied the belt around her waist, and meticulously tidied the wrinkles of her clothes.
Although she often fought, she didn't wear martial arts clothes. One reason was that she was ugly, and another reason was that her martial arts skills were now able to be used freely even in a skirt. Today, she wore a light green long skirt, a long sword hanging around her waist, and her long hair tied into a ponytail, and strode out of the door.
Hearing the disciple's narration, a dried corpse was found in a wine shop.
She raised her eyebrows.
She strode to the scene.
The scene was already surrounded by people. When the people saw Zhang Mo coming, they made way for her.
Zhang Mo frowned as she looked at the familiar scene.
Isn't this the wine shop where she drank wine to recruit a husband last night? Drinking twenty-seven bowls of homemade liquor in a row can take away that delicate beauty.
It was still lively yesterday, how come a murder happened today?
She entered the wine shop and saw a corpse, a dried corpse.
The skin tightly wrapped around the bones, as if the flesh and blood had been sucked dry, almost a skeleton, and the original face could not be seen at all.
"This method..."
Zhang Mo frowned, and had more guesses in her mind. She named the disciples and began to survey the surrounding environment to find clues.
...
On the other side.
Li Changxiao was also awakened by the movement of Dayan Huazong.
As soon as he got up, he saw Zhang Mo hurriedly passing by the door.
There must be a big case.
He yawned, teased the goldfish under the red flower tree, and admired the scenery. He was stunned for a long time before taking out two silver coins and going to a nearby restaurant to deal with breakfast.
Dayan Huazong is a martial arts sect. It will make strengthening soup for disciples every day, but they need to prepare their own food.
So even if Li Changxiao wanted to eat and drink for free, there was no place to get it.
After leaving Dayan Huazong, Li Changxiao took the silver and thought about the dishes. There seemed to be a steamed bun shop in Lanfeng Lane, which was quite famous. He was about to go to buy some buns, and then he passed by a wine shop, but there were people outside.
Through the crowd.
He saw Zhang Mo who was handling the case inside at a glance. She was pinching her chin and thinking about something.
Li Changxiao went to join in the fun, thinking that if it was a vendetta or something, he would solve it by the way. After all, he spent so much silver, so he should do something.
However, when he got closer, the scene inside made him feel a little curious.
The mummy was lying on the ground without a single piece of clothing.
It was extremely terrifying.
It was not killed by a mortal.
There were bursts of noisy sounds all around.
Zhang Mo also noticed Li Changxiao and let him in. She heard that Li Changxiao had been a coroner, and wanted him to take a look at how this person died and turned into a mummy overnight.
Li Changxiao leaned over to observe. In fact, Zhang Mo already had a guess in her mind, but she just referred to other people's opinions.
Li Changxiao determined that this person's death might be related to Yanshou. The symptoms of this skinny man were a little similar to those of the old man of the Wang family. They all had signs of loss of vitality.
Moreover, Li Changxiao determined that this man was the man who drank 27 bowls of strong liquor last night and won the beauty.
He told Zhang Mo this conclusion. Zhang Mo's eyes widened and showed surprise, but she didn't think about it in this way.
This mummy was skin and bones, almost a skeleton, so Zhang Mo didn't recognize it at the first time.
However, after Li Changxiao said this, she could vaguely see that the body shape of this mummy was indeed somewhat similar to the man who won the beauty last night.
In this way.
Zhang Mo had a direction in her mind.
"Where is the owner of the wine shop?" Zhang Mo asked a disciple.
"I don't know. I didn't see their figures early in the morning." The disciple said.
"Sure enough." Zhang Mo frowned and said to Li Changxiao: "I suspect that the man and woman last night were also people who stole lives."
Zhang Mo touched the body temperature and found that there was still a little residual heat, which meant that the man and woman did not go too far. She waved her hand and ordered a search.
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, someone found a man and woman sneaking out of the city.
Zhang Mo immediately chased after them and saw the man and woman from last night. She acted quickly and subdued them in an instant. The man and woman knelt down and begged for mercy, claiming that they were innocent.
How could Zhang Mo believe such a one-sided statement? If they were innocent, why did they run away?
......
In less than half a day, the case was clear.
Zhang Mo saw that Li Changxiao was not in Chihuayuan, so she went to the restaurant to look for him.
After going up to the third floor, I took a quick look and found the person I was looking for. The man was sitting by the window, half lying down, drinking wine and eating peanuts. No one enjoyed it more than him.
Zhang Mo sat opposite Li Changxiao and talked to Li Changxiao about the case.
It turned out that the man and woman were actually a couple, and they also practiced the way to prolong life.
It was the way of stealing life - Yin and Yang couple.
"Yin and Yang couple?" Li Changxiao cast a curious look.
Zhang Mo was experienced after all, and she knew a little about the thousands of ways, and this "Yin and Yang couple" was not uncommon.
The so-called "Yin and Yang couple" means that the two people's yin and yang work together to prolong life. The reason why this profession is classified as the way of stealing life is that if you only rely on the yin and yang of two people to prolong life, there will always be losses, or imbalance of yin and yang.
At this time, a third party is needed to join, and the third party who joins will shorten the life span, either damaging the Yin or the Yang.
Therefore, the Yin-Yang couple often cheat in marriage in various places.
The Yin-Yang couple who steal life need to be innately compatible, have a good horoscope, and have a good zodiac sign... and many other conditions. It is not that you can just find a man and a woman to follow this path. The couple is over 70 years old this year, but they still look young.
It is enough to show that this path is indeed effective.
The 27 bowls of strong liquor last night were the wine of the scorching sun, which stimulated the yang energy in the body of the drinker, making it easier for the woman in the Yin-Yang couple to steal and replenish.
However, normally, even if the Yin-Yang couple steals life, they will not do it to such an extent, sucking a person dry. They usually travel around and steal only a small amount each time, for fear of attracting attention.
What happened yesterday was really abnormal.
The reason for this can only be known after a careful examination of the couple.
Li Changxiao nodded gently upon hearing this. In order to understand the current situation more quickly, Li Changxiao also joined the investigation. Zhang Mo would naturally not refuse this. In fact, when she went out early in the morning, she hesitated whether to call Li Changxiao. In the end, she did not call him because she was afraid of disturbing him.
The matter of the Yin-Yang couple came to an end. In the restaurants everywhere, stories praising Zhang Mo were spread again. It is said that the storytellers nowadays are really good. What happened in the morning was spread in the afternoon. The story was so vivid.
Others did not feel anything when they heard it, but Zhang Mo herself was very anxious.
Li Changxiao saw the two couples in the dungeon of Dayan Huazong, hugging each other and sobbing.
The two begged for mercy again and again. The position of Yin-Yang couple is not glorious. It is even hated by everyone. It is cheating feelings and lives, but it is all for survival. Criticizing from a moral perspective is really easy to say.
After all, the world today is not the stable and harmonious world of the previous life.
Li Changxiao asked Zhang Mo how he planned to deal with the two.
Zhang Mo told him that after they explained the case, they would make a decision based on the facts. If they deliberately killed someone, they would pay with their lives.
Li Changxiao blew a breath of air.
The two felt that their eyes were clear, and they could not help but tell everything they knew.
