Scarlet liquid flowed out from the tree. Old Ye frowned slightly. He already had a ball of paper in his hand. Li Muye quickly held his hand down.
"Why do you keep such a monster? Burn it clean and eliminate harm to the people!"
"The clues will be lost if the fire is completely burned." Li Muye said solemnly: "This tree was planted by an expert specifically to raise treasures in it." He added: "I guess the death of the developer's family is related to this tree. It has a lot to do with it, either because the tree needs to be cut down or because the child was naughty and climbed up the tree and discovered the secret here."
"What's the secret in this tree?" Ye Hong asked again: "You and I, please stop showing off."
Li Muye said: "I used to read Changfeng Miscellaneous Notes, and accidentally saw a passage about the secret method of planting blood sycamore trees to nourish blood worms. It is a magic that has been passed down by the Beggar Gang for many years. This tree is full of evil, just like the tall tree. Generally, pets kept by people are grown using secret methods and infused with a mixture of blood and medicine to naturally produce a red sap. This sap has a strange fragrance and can not only attract birds, but also attract a kind of ground insect called bitter silkworm. This insect is an earthly insect born from the earth's rain and moist earth veins. It is fed with the blood of the sycamore tree. It first turns white, then red, and finally turns golden, and can be used to mix medicine."
"Can you become an immortal after taking this medicine?" Ye Hong asked again.
"Of course not, but after eating it, you can indeed strengthen your qi and blood, nourish your muscles and bones, and greatly increase your physical strength." Li Muye said: "The human blood is purer qi and blood energy than any food, but it is difficult to be absorbed directly. There are very few people who are brave enough to directly suck blood for a living, but it is different when transformed by the Blood Sycamore. This tree was still small when it was first planted. A hollow thin tube is inserted into the center of the crown, and then it is filled with blood. Come nourish it and the tree will grow very fast.”
As Li Muye said this, he raised his head to look at the big tree. He jumped lightly and performed a trick of hanging a fairy painting. Then the scorpion climbed up the wall and quickly reached the top of the tree crown. Sure enough, I found a watering hole in the center of the trunk. Li Muye deliberately touched the surrounding organs, then dug out a piece of old bark, quickly got down from the tree, handed the old bark to Ye Hongyou, and said: "You can't be wrong, it's this thing, the murderer is probably The masters of the Beggar Gang, the blood here may not be from killing people, there are so many of them, they just need to come here regularly for bloodletting."
"That's it." Ye Hong said again: "When you say this, it all makes sense. When other people rent, they just pretend to be crazy and scare them away. However, this developer bought this place with the intention of bulldozing and building a building. , we can’t let him live anymore.”
Li Muye said: "Years ago, they created a gruesome corpse dismemberment case here, which cast the shadow of a haunted house over this place. They also continued to strengthen this terrifying impression by pretending to be gods and ghosts. The ultimate goal is to avoid Those who are disturbed will plant blood sycamores and raise blood worms here.”
Ye Hong praised again: "Makino, you are really amazing. You figured out the clues to such a sinister and secretive case after just one visit. The people from the Religious Affairs Office have been working on it for so long..." He suddenly said this He paused and seemed to remember something.
Li Muye chuckled and said, "With Shen Zongyuan's knowledge and ability, I'm afraid he may not be able to see the clues."
Ye Hong added: "These turtles deliberately left this lid open, waiting for us to step in and fight with the beggar gang in front, while they can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits."
Li Muye said: "Weakening us will make it easier for them to reach into the Special Operations Office. For this reason, I will protect Xiao Baiqi no matter what."
Ye Hong's eyes shone again, his expression resolute, and he said, "Just tell me what you plan to do."
Li Muye smiled and said: "We have already touched the edge of this shit basin. Next, we should find a way to imprison him to these dead ghosts from the Religious Office. If Shen Zongyuan does not want to be assigned as a fornicator, a thief who respects himself, If we are charged with this crime, we have to pursue this case desperately. Then we won’t be the ones fighting the Beggar Gang and losing both sides.”
Ye Hong thought about it again and said: "If you want to plant this stolen goods well, it's best to have someone from the Beggar Gang cooperate with you!"
Ginger is still spicy, and Lao Ye immediately grasped the key.
Li Muye nodded and said: "This tree has been planted for many years. Maybe it is just a few steps away from the blood worms becoming golden. There is a lot of room for fuss here. There is a secret door on the canopy. If you move it, they will notice it. Today It will be very lively here tonight.”
"You go find Bai Qi, and let me take care of the things here."
…
At night, in a guest house in the south of the city, Qin Xiaoxiao walked into the room with a lot of food, quickly closed the door, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
The young man lying on the bed was Bai Qi, and he said: "It's okay, it's all internal and external injuries. Even if there's a little blood, I can still bear it."
Qin Xiaoxiao took out a smoked chicken and handed it over, saying, "Here, eat it quickly. The roasted chicken is very delicious."
Bai Qi took it and took a big bite down to the bones. His body was very exhausted and needed to be replenished urgently. There was a cut under the left rib and there was a lot of blood. The opponent's knife was insidious and vicious. It was originally aimed at the heart, but he avoided it at the critical moment of life and death. But his internal organs were still injured and he bled a lot.
Qin Xiaoxiao told you to slow down and handed over another can of Red Bull.
Bai Qi raised his neck and drank it all, and said, "You didn't tell anyone that I was here."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "As you said, this time the trouble is too big and I don't want to implicate anyone." After saying that, he smiled sweetly and said: "I am very happy to be able to help you. You can think of me at this time. , this shows that I am different from anyone else in your heart."
"Silly girl, I am a murderer now, and you are so stupid to be so nice to me. Don't forget that you are a law enforcement officer. Knowing the law and breaking the law will be punished with an additional penalty." Bai Qi said: "I can't stay in this place for too long. After eating and resting for a while, you have to leave, and then you go home first, it’s best to forget about me.”
Qin Xiaoxiao said: "I don't know why this is happening, but I just believe that you are not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. The fact that they hurt you so badly is proof. I think you should explain the matter clearly to your uncle. He treats you badly." So good, I will definitely protect you."
Bai Qi said: "You can't tell my uncle. You are right. He will definitely protect me, but you only know one thing but not the other. My uncle's life is not easy now. If he does it for me again, I'm afraid that the whole special office will be dragged down by being blamed. A man can only do things for himself. I'm an adult and can't be like an unweaned child who has to ask my aunt and uncle to solve everything!"
Qin Xiaoxiao said: "I support any decision you make, except for the one that lets me go home. I don't care what your status is now. You are fighting alone now. I must fight side by side with you!"
"Xiaoxiao, you are so kind to me." Bai Bei nodded and said, "Come here and let me hug you." After saying that, he opened his arms and took Qin Xiaoxiao into his arms, and pressed his big hand slightly on the back of her head and neck. Suddenly and silently passed out.
Bai Qi ate the food silently, treated the wound with a bandage, then placed Qin Xiaoxiao in the bed, got up and left the guest house, walked to the street and called the police to report that the gangster had knocked the female police officer unconscious... He threw away the phone and identified Turn around and walk towards the mountain on foot.
An hour later, E Lai drove Li Muye to track the mobile phone signal and arrived here.
"Uncle, the signal is nearby. He should have thrown his cell phone under the drain on the roadside." Eilai adjusted the position with the signal tracker, and finally locked on a ditch on the roadside. Sure enough, Bai Qi's mobile phone was found there.
"Look at who his last call record was to." Li Muye said: "Lao Ye said that he was injured and lost a lot of blood. He definitely needs help from others to prepare some necessities."
E Lai looked at Bai Qi's phone and said, "Qin Xiaoxiao."
"You little bastard doesn't want to cause trouble for me, so he's acting like a hero like me." Li Muye nodded and said, "Let Ji Xuefei contact Qin Xiaoxiao to see if she can get any useful clues. Soldiers are very quick, and we two Keep looking for this guy."
"The matter involves Xuanmen, is Ji Xue flying?" Eilai asked a little hesitantly.
Li Muye said: "You and I don't know whether it will work, but I do know that Qin Xiaoxiao must not know anything useful."
"I understand what uncle means." Erai said with his eyes lit up.
Li Muye waved his hand and said: "Just understand in your heart, don't say it out loud. Ji Xuefei is our friend who shares weal and woe, and I hope she will always be." The conversation changed and he asked: "Based on your understanding of that kid, do you think How will he go?"
Evilai looked around and said, "The injured lone wolf will definitely look for the most familiar environment to recuperate. I guess he will probably go to the mountains."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go immediately."
…
In the early morning, at the scene of the massacre by the villa developer, Ye Hong was sitting on the steps of the gate again, with an old bark stained with the blood of the sycamore tree under his feet, a cigarette in his mouth, and looking at the alley not far away. At the entrance, a man who looked like a homeless man was lying under an old willow tree.
Bang! Bang bang!
The homeless man stood up slowly and tapped the bamboo board in his hand three times rhythmically. Slowly walking towards Ye Hongyou, he cupped his fists and said, "The word "和"?"
Ye Hong waved his hand again and said: "A man from the public family."
The tramp looked at the old tree bark at Lao Ye's feet, sighed deeply, and said, "You are a discerning person, you saw our door."
"The things in the door are still there, we haven't dug deeper yet." Ye Hong said again: "I can't write two rivers and lakes in one sentence. I was also a person in the rivers and lakes. I know that your business is not easy. Ten years of careful preparation, all it takes is the last tremor.”
"Thank you!" the tramp explained: "Brother Xiao was injured by Bai Wuxia's lackey Li Mengbai. He coughed up blood every day. He was waiting for this thing to save his life. After thirty years of work, it was about to take shape, so I’m just a little anxious.”
Ye Hong added: "Even if the developer's family of five has a plan to die, this case is too big. I can buy some time for you, but you have to make us answer to the superiors."
The homeless man pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Please show me a clear path."
Ye Hong added: "This case is too simple. If you want to delay, you have to muddy the water first. You have to get a few scapegoats to cover up others' eyes."
The tramp thought for a moment and said very wisely: "Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as we can do it, we will do it."
Ye Hong nodded again with satisfaction and said: "If it was just a simple game of catching thieves, your blood sycamore tree would have to be bulldozed tomorrow morning, but if this matter involves a power struggle between two special departments, Then it will be easier to drag it out." He then said: "There are three people from the religious office lying in this courtyard. I would like to ask you to get some evidence that can prove that the three of them have colluded with you and concealed the truth. As long as I have If we have the opportunity to target the Religious Affairs Office, I will be sure to buy you a few more days."
"I understand." The tramp said, "It's just that this will definitely offend Taoism and the religious office."
"It is better for the county magistrate to take charge now." Ye Hong added: "Since we dare to do this, we naturally have the strength to be as good as Taoism and religious affairs."
The homeless man said: "It's the lesser of two evils, so that's all I can do..." (End of Chapter)
