Chapter 478 Moths Drowning in Fire 5
The remains of the three prisoners were found and brought back to the police station!
Zhou Sanyuan felt a chill run down his spine. What could possibly turn three grown men into skeletons and those shriveled, blackened, terrifying figures?
"Could it be that I've encountered a ghost?" Zhou Sanyuan muttered.
He wondered if he should ask Master Mao for a look...
"What the hell?" Song Zilong passed by him and, upon hearing his words, said with a stern face, "We are police officers. Our job is to protect the safety of the people and find out the truth. Don't go to others for help every time you encounter a problem!"
Zhou Sanyuan froze, and after hearing Song Zilong's words, he said anxiously, "No, Captain, I feel something's very wrong! Those people were clearly not killed!"
“Of course I know!” Song Zilong nodded, then changed the subject, “You also know that those three prisoners know some kind of evil magic, so maybe they killed each other?”
"Then some wild beast ate all the flesh, leaving only bones!"
“Hmm, that’s possible!” Zhou Sanyuan thought Song Zilong’s words made sense.
"Ah, Captain, I must say, you are truly brilliant and capable!"
"Heh, I have to say, you're really good at flattering people!" Song Zilong said with a fake smile.
"Hehe, Captain, what do we do now?"
"Since you know I'm right, why don't you go find some evidence?" Song Zilong said sternly. "Without evidence, do you think the higher-ups will believe you?"
"Right away, right away!" Zhou Sanyuan said with a forced smile as he led his men out of the police station.
"Brother Sanyuan, are we going up the mountain again?" The young policeman who was following them was a little scared. When they carried the remains of the prisoner back, they all felt their scalps tingle!
Zhou Sanyuan was obsequious to his superiors, strict with his subordinates, and domineering to outsiders, so the junior police officers under him were more afraid of him than respectful!
"Then you rest, can't I go by myself?" Zhou Sanyuan scolded irritably, "Idiot!"
……
Two more bodies were found on the mountain; after investigation, they were identified as smugglers.
The body is there, but the goods are gone. Could it be a case of murder and robbery?
The rice shop in town was owned by Black Rose. After sending her son, Xiao Xiami, to study in the provincial capital, she retired from the rice business and opened a shop to make a living.
However, her shop always manages to sell some good stuff from big cities, so business is quite good.
When Song Zilong discovered that Black Rose Shop had perfumes and face creams, he began to suspect her!
Their investigation revealed that the two smugglers were selling these Western gadgets.
When Song Zilong brought his men to Black Rose's door, demanding that she go back with them to investigate, Black Rose's expression immediately changed.
Song Zilong once brought a woman named Yingying to her shop to buy things. Later, Black Rose remembered that this Yingying was one of the three fairies she and Xiaoxiami saw in the cave.
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, Black Rose kept the secret to herself.
Unexpectedly, three fairies came to her door. Black Rose was already terrified, so she immediately went to Fuxi Hall to buy some talismans and put them on.
"I'm not going back with you! You two are in cahoots, and you might torture me into confessing!" Black Rose has been in the underworld for many years and knows the wickedness of people's hearts. How could she possibly surrender?
Song Zilong didn't understand what Black Rose meant, so he kindly advised, "Miss Rose, I just want you to go back and investigate!"
Black Rose waved her hand in refusal, refusing to go with Song Zilong and the others no matter what.
Having no other choice, Song Zilong gave Zhou Sanyuan a wink.
Zhou Sanyuan, who immediately understood, led the other police officers to use force, but Black Rose saw this and escaped.
Song Zilong led his men to give chase. In the chaos, Black Rose threw a piece of paper to Song Zilong, inviting him to meet at the entrance of Fuxi Hall that evening.
……
As night fell, Fuxi Hall always ate dinner very early, so after Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian went shopping, they had some late-night snacks and packed some for the others.
The moonlight was as clear as water, and the night breeze was cool. The two walked and chatted.
However, when they walked to a street not far from Fuxi Hall, Ren Yinyin suddenly sensed an unusual aura.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and she stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Shi Shaojian noticed Ren Yinyin's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"I sense demonic energy." Ren Yinyin's voice was low and serious. Her eyes narrowed, and she flashed, rushing towards the place where demonic energy was spreading like a ghost.
Seeing this, Shi Shaojian followed without hesitation.
As soon as she turned a corner, Ren Yinyin saw a dark shadow flying in mid-air. It spread its arms, and its sleeves hung down like wings. From a distance, it looked like a giant fluttering moth.
The dark figure rushed towards the black rose on the ground, and the black rose was so frightened that she stood there dumbfounded, forgetting to dodge.
"You fiend, you're courting death!" Ren Yinyin roared, quickly taking out a talisman from her bag.
With a flick of her wrist, the talisman shot out like lightning, heading straight for the eerie figure in mid-air.
"Ah..." The dark figure clearly did not expect someone to suddenly appear. After being hit by the talisman, it let out a shrill scream.
It twisted its body in pain and turned to try to escape the scene.
However, how could Ren Yinyin let it escape so easily?
She already held the demon-revealing mirror in her hand. She muttered incantations, and the mirror instantly emitted a dazzling light, like a golden beam, which directly fixed the figure of the dark shadow.
Just then, Shi Shaojian also arrived at the scene.
Seeing this, he didn't hesitate to throw a punch, which slammed into the dark figure with the power of thunder.
With a loud bang, the dark figure was struck by Shi Shaojian's fist and fell heavily to the ground with a scream.
It struggled painfully on the ground, trying to get up again, but it was clearly seriously injured and unable to move.
Black Rose, who was initially terrified, was startled awake by the fighting and quickly hid behind Ren Yinyin like a rabbit.
"What is this thing?" Ren Yinyin put away the demon-revealing mirror and watched as the strange, winged humanoid creature slowly died.
Shi Shaojian walked up to Ren Yinyin, wary, "It looks like an insect or something!"
The humanoid fairy on the ground transformed back into its original form, which was a very large moth!
"Can this thing also cultivate into a spirit?" Ren Yinyin felt that she had really learned something new.
"Everything has a spirit, so anything is possible!" Shi Shaojian said, unsurprised.
Seeing that the fairy was completely dead, Black Rose patted her chest, tears of gratitude streaming down her face. "Oh dear, Miss Ren, Master Shi, thank you so much! You are my saviors!"
If Ren Yinyin hadn't appeared in time, she might have died a miserable and horrible death like those corpses!
"Rose, what brings you here so late at night?" Ren Yinyin asked curiously. "And how did you manage to provoke this vixen?"
Fuxi Hall is quite a distance from Black Rose's rice shop!
"Oh dear, it's a long story!" Black Rose said with a bitter face, feeling very unsafe when she thought about the two fairies.
"Um, Miss Ren, how about we go to Fuxi Hall and talk this over slowly?" Black Rose had made up her mind that she would stay in Fuxi Hall until she dealt with the remaining demons.
She could only feel at ease with a few highly skilled Taoist priests around!
"Okay!"
Just as the three of them arrived at Fuxi Hall, Song Zilong rushed over.
"Rose Girl? Miss Ren? Master Shi!"
"Ha, you still have the nerve to show your face!" Black Rose's fear turned into anger upon seeing Song Zilong.
