Merchant of the Underworld

Now all the parties involved are dying and running away, and even the only clue, the ancient painting, has disappeared. This is the most difficult unsolved case I have ever encountered, bar none!

At this moment, I was a little at a loss because the situation was far beyond my imagination.

If the fairy in the painting is not solved, people will continue to be killed, and it may even endanger the people around me.

The only clue that can be traced now is Wang Leng. But Wang Leng disappeared at this time. I can only ask Li Yuntian to dispatch police forces to fully trace Wang Leng's traces. At the same time, we have to continue to stay at Wang Leng's residence.

However, Li Yuntian said that he could no longer stay with me because he still had serious work to do and could not accompany us everywhere all day long.

Anyway, there is no other use for him to follow me than to strengthen his courage, so I asked him to just go to work and leave the matter of Wang Leng's residence to me.

Before we parted ways, Li Yuntian also gave me a baton, saying that it might be useful. People who work in the fields are generally prone to violence. If the old boy refuses to give in, the 1 million volts in the baton will be enough to bear him.

I smiled and nodded, but I felt that this thing wouldn't be of much use, so I handed it to Yin Xinyue and let her protect herself.

We returned to Wang Leng's residence.

In fact, on the way, I repeatedly wanted Yin Xinyue to go home. After all, it was a bit inappropriate for a girl to follow me on adventures all day long.

However, Yin Xinyue stuck to me, saying that she was worried about my safety, and the two of us could still take care of each other.

I know her stubbornness very well. If I push her away again, I'm afraid she will cry and make trouble, so I can only let it go.

We stayed at Wang Leng's house until evening without going out.

Fortunately, there is wifi nearby, so I asked Yin Xinyue to read the news online to prevent her from being overly nervous and confused when she encounters real danger later.

As usual, around nine o'clock, the surroundings became quiet, almost everyone had taken a rest, there were no street lights, and only the light of Yin Xinyue's mobile phone was lit. The light shining on her peaceful face gave me a little comfort to my soul.

A wild cat came from nowhere and made a shrill cry outside, which made me upset and angry. I wanted to run out and drive away the wild cats, but after thinking about it, I decided not to go out.

What if this is Wang Leng deliberately testing us?

Thinking of this possibility, I asked Yin Xinyue to turn off her phone and listen carefully to what was going on outside.

The wild cat meowed non-stop, and the sound continued. After about half an hour, the meow suddenly disappeared.

The next second, the door was slammed open, and a black shadow jumped in from the outside, jumping around the room, knocking over a lot of things.

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. What happened to this wild cat? It could break the door open? And it screamed like a baby crying.

Yin Xinyue was so frightened that she turned pale and took out her baton.

The wild cat was jumping around in the living room, as if fighting with an invisible person, but there was no one else in the living room at all.

My heart was very nervous. It is said that cats are psychic animals and can see things that are invisible to human eyes. Could it be that this wild cat saw something?

Just when I was hesitating whether to drive away the wild cat, the wild cat suddenly became quiet and stared in our direction with a pair of glowing blue eyes.

My tense heart skipped a beat. This look, I was sure, was not the look of an animal at all, because it contained too much emotion, full of fear, and even a hint of anger, as if looking at an enemy. eyes!

I immediately realized the danger, and immediately protected Yin Xinyue behind me. At the same time, I grabbed a porcelain bottle next to me and made a throwing motion, trying to scare the cat away.

But the wild cat didn't run away. It just stood there blankly, looking at me with a grin on its face and a pair of glowing eyes full of contempt.

I am even more certain that those are not the eyes of animals, but the eyes of humans...

Just when my heart was filled with fear, the wild cat suddenly arched its body and made an attack posture. I took a deep breath and smashed the porcelain bottle out without hesitation.

The porcelain bottle hit the place where the wild cat was squatting accurately, but its movements were extremely sensitive. It jumped up from the ground and then landed accurately in the stove.

Suddenly, there was a burning smell, and then a large ball of sparks erupted from the stove, as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured on it.

The wild cat screamed miserably, with a hoarse voice, and struggled painfully in the stove. However, the raging fire had completely enveloped it. After a while, it stopped screaming and even stopped struggling.

It was burned to death.

I was stunned and shocked. I couldn't figure out why the wild cat jumped into the stove to commit suicide?

Just when I was staring at the stove in a daze, I suddenly felt someone tugging on my clothes. I immediately turned around and found that it was Yin Xinyue.

Yin Xinyue gingerly pointed to the door to me. I looked over immediately, and when I saw it, I took a breath of fear.

At the door, there was a man lying motionless, looking up at us. The white eyes reflected the light of the flames, which made me tremble with fear.

I took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Who are you?"

I'm sure this person is not Wang Leng, because she has a delicate figure and her hair is disheveled. She looks like an underage girl.

She sighed, glanced around the room in confusion, and then slowly crawled out again.

I was stunned for a moment, knowing that she must be an insider, so I chased after her without hesitation, holding the baton in my hand: "Stop, we are the police, otherwise don't blame us for being rude to you!"

The little girl stopped then, held on to the chair next to her with difficulty, and sat on it little by little: "Who are you? Why are you in Uncle Wang's house."

I asked, "Who are you? Why do you break into other people's homes in the middle of the night?"

The little girl sighed: "I came here to see my children. My children were all burned to death in the furnace..."

"What?" Yin Xinyue screamed, her body went limp and she almost collapsed on the ground.

I quickly comforted Yin Xinyue and asked, "Are the children you are talking about those wild cats?"

"No!" the little girl said angrily: "They are not wild cats, they are all living beings, even more complex than human thoughts."

Yin Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. She must have thought that the children the little girl was talking about were babies.

"So, the black ashes in the charcoal stove are all the remains of wild cats?" I asked.

The little girl nodded: "Yes."

"Why did your child jump into the stove?" I asked, "Are your legs and feet inconvenient and you can't walk?"

The little girl lowered her head gloomily: "My legs and feet are not good. As for why my children jumped into the stove, it's because they were entangled in dirty things. There are unclean things in this room."

I looked at the little girl in fear. What she said shocked me too much.

How could an underage girl be so bold as to break into a "haunted house" alone in the middle of the night?

I walked up carefully and knelt down to talk to her: "Why do you say there is something unclean in this house?"

"Because people have died here." the little girl said.

"Ever died? How do you know?"

"I have seen it," the little girl said, "a man with a knife cut off Uncle Wang's head and threw it into the stove."

"Huh?" When the little girl said this, my heart suddenly moved: "Did you see it with your own eyes? Do you know what the man with the knife looks like?"

"I know." The little girl said proudly, "But I won't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because that uncle is a policeman." The little girl said with a smile: "Uncle said he was punishing bad people and wouldn't let me tell him."

"Police!" I was shocked: "Did you see clearly?"

"Yes." The little girl nodded: "Uncle said that Uncle Wang stole other people's things, so he wanted to kill Uncle Wang. The body was buried in the woods behind the community."

"Is this what you saw too?"

"No, it was my child who told me." The little girl said proudly: "My child can see a lot of things. My child also told me that Uncle Wang has not left yet and is still living in this house."

Just when I was about to ask a few more questions, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps downstairs, and then a middle-aged aunt ran up. After seeing the little girl, he immediately ran up and slapped the little girl twice in the face: "What a naughty kid, why are you running around without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

After saying that, he looked at us apologetically: "I'm sorry, you two. My child has bad legs and feet, and his brain is not normal. He talks nonsense all day long. Don't be as knowledgeable as her..."

Then, the middle-aged aunt hurriedly carried the little girl downstairs without giving us a chance to speak.

The little girl was lying on the back of the middle-aged aunt, and she was still smiling at us. The smile was so weird that it made my scalp numb and chilled me from head to toe.

She opened her mouth and seemed to be talking to us, but she didn't make any sound.

I looked back at Yin Xinyue. Yin Xinyue's face had turned pale with fear. She nervously grabbed the corner of my clothes and asked me tremblingly: "Brother Zhang, do you think this little girl is weird?"

I took a deep breath: "Do you know what she said when she left just now?"

Yin Xinyue shook her head: "She seems to be speaking with lip language. I don't know what she said specifically."
