Zhang Zonghan carefully recalled the matter concerning Xun You. The time when Xun You left Luoyang City almost coincided with the time when Lu Cheng began to experience severe tinnitus. It can be confirmed that Xun You did indeed want to harm Lu Cheng because he had obtained some harmful information about himself.
Are there any differences in appearance or lifestyle between the children born of the demon race and the human race and ordinary people? Zhang Zonghan couldn't understand.
"If there were demon genes, they would probably prefer to come out at night."
"Come out at night?"
"Yes, because most of the regions in the demon world are in semi-darkness, which makes almost all demon creatures accustomed to operating only in the dark. This is also why demon creatures do not often come to the human world, and when they do, it's usually at night. Although there are indeed some demon races that don't mind appearing during the day, they should be very few." Qin explained.
Zhang Zonghan It seems that I do remember a few times when the night patrol officers gathered and said they often encountered Xun You wandering outside at midnight... It looks like Xun You is indeed a hybrid of the demon race and the human race.
"Ah, it seems that indeed because Lu Cheng had evidence that Xun You is a hybrid of the demon race and the human race, Xun You harmed Lu Cheng to silence him, and then escaped when Lu Cheng fell ill. What do you think, any issues?"
Zhang Zonghan looked around with inquiring eyes, and no one else seemed to have a different opinion.
"Anyway, let's tidy up here quickly for now, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Zhang Zonghan walked to the courtyard and looked at the sky outside the door. It was already late.
During the cleaning process led by Zhang Zonghan, Boli has been looking for someone to play with, and occasionally making cute moves to make others laugh.
It looks like Boli hasn't had anyone to accompany it for a long time. Zhang Zonghan sighed softly. At this moment, he was actually feeling pity for a creature from the demon world, which even Zhang Zonghan himself found very unbelievable.
After cleaning up, it was already evening, and everyone seemed very tired.
"Okay, from now on, Ms.Qin can open a clinic here. If you need any help, come to my house or the governor's mansion to find me. I will definitely help with anything I can. As for this Boli... let it accompany you. After all, living alone here can be lonely."
Zhang Zonghan smiled and looked at Ms.Qin and Boli. At this moment, Boli was sitting obediently by Ms.Qin side, wagging its tail from time to time.
"Thank you, Master Zhang."
Qin nodded to Zhang Zonghan as a gesture of thanks, and Boli, who was sitting next to her, even bent his knees and bowed to Zhang Zonghan, which amused everyone present.
"I didn't expect Boli to be quite relatable, huh?" Zhang Zonghan pointed at Boli and said to the person standing next to him.
Other people also nodded in agreement.
"That's right," said the man. " Boli is very popular in some noble households. If an ordinary family can raise a Boli, it would definitely attract attention from people around."
On the way home after parting ways with Qin, Zhang Zonghan was still thinking about the former owner of the medical hall, Xun You. He always felt that the situation might not be that simple.
Was Xun You really just raising Boli for the convenience of transporting materials? Xun You has been living in Luoyang City for many years. Even if Boli is easy to get along with humans, any creature would have a period of domestication. It's impossible that no one noticed Xun You raising a creature from the demon realm for so long.
In addition, was Xun You really harming Lu Cheng because he had evidence that he was born of both the demon and human races? Zhang Zonghan is most suspicious of this, because Lu Cheng and Xun You have always had a good relationship. Even if Lu Cheng knew that Xun You was born of both the human and demon races, he would be unlikely to reveal it to others. If Xun You trusted Lu Cheng, it would be even more unlikely for him to harm Lu Cheng.
Zhang Zonghan couldn't make heads or tails of this matter, so he decided not to worry about it for the time being. Right now, what Zhang Zonghan wants to know more is how to identify the Ghost Corpse.
Zhang Zonghan understands in his heart that it is possible for an attack by something like Ghost Corpse to happen again at any time in the future. If he is not prepared, it will only make Dong Zhuo and his gang more rampant and unrestrained, causing great harm to the people.
Zhang Zonghan remembers that Qin once said he had a way to identify Ghost Corpse. Zhang Zonghan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked up at the sky and silently recited in his heart:
" Ms.Qin coming to Luoyang City to help is really a good thing."
At this point, Zhang Zonghan has developed a little bit of affection for Ms.Qin in his heart.
The next morning, Zhang Zonghan and Hua Zhong went to the medical clinic where Qin was located. They happened to see a car next to the clinic, piled with various medicinal herbs. Zhang Zonghan checked and found that they were all the most commonly used medicinal herbs in the mortal realm. Although Zhang Zonghan couldn't name them or know their effects, he was even more impressed by Qin from the bottom of his heart after seeing these medicinal herbs.
At this moment, Ms.Qin came out of the medical hall. When she saw Zhang Zonghan and Hua Zhong standing at the door, she smiled and greeted them. Boli also followed beside her, jumping happily.
"Haha, it looks like Ms.Qin and Boli have a pretty good relationship."
Zhang Zonghan laughed.
"Yes, Boli and I have reached the point where I have to follow him wherever I go. It's actually a bit troublesome, for example, when I need to use the restroom..."
Qin lowered his head a little shyly and looked at his Boli with its innocent big eyes raised.
"By the way, is this Boli a male or female? Do creatures in the demon world have genders?" Zhang Zonghan was quite curious about this and couldn't help but ask.
" Ms.Qin replied, 'The creatures in the demon realm are just like those in the human realm, with both males and females. This one seems to be male, so no matter where I am, it always wants to follow me. It's really...'"
Ms.Qin looked a bit embarrassed, and her face turned red. Zhang Zonghan was once again amused by Ms.Qin expression.
"Haha, I didn't expect Ms.Qin to be shy about this!"
Standing beside Zhang Zonghan, Hua Zhong also smiled. Qin, with a blush on her cheeks, waved her hand gently, eager to change the subject.
"Then, what does Master Zhang want to see me about?"
"Ah, it's still about how to identify the Ghost Corpse." Zhang Zonghan put away his smile and said to Qin in a very serious tone.
All the bodies are parked in the city's Yizhuang. The Yizhuang side told Zhang Zonghan that the bodies parked there will be buried every other day, but once the Ghost Corpse is buried in the soil, it will decompose and release a large amount of toxins, polluting the land. Once it comes into contact with water sources or plants, it will inevitably lead to an outbreak of plague. So Zhang Zonghan has been troubled by how to distinguish the Ghost Corpse. From the outside, the Ghost Corpse looks no different from a normal body, and even the decay time and form are indistinguishable.
But once it is distinguished, how should it be disposed of? Zhang Zonghan is also unsure, after all, this is the first time he has encountered the Ghost Corpse in his life, and there is very little mention of it in the books.
" Ms.Qin Are you free now? It would be best if you could come with me to Yizhuang right away."
When they were still some distance from Yizhuang, they met Zuo Ci and Yu Ji who had hurried over, both looking very anxious.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why do you both look so flustered?" Zhang Zonghan asked in confusion.
"Are you two going to the Yi Zhuang to identify the Ghost Corpse?"
"Yes."
"Then please hurry, Dong Zhuo has sent Li ru with a group of soldiers to take away all the bodies parked at the Yizhuang, falsely claiming to show how much he cares for the people. But in reality, he wants to destroy the evidence! Yu Ji and I have already posted talismans and set up a maze formation in the streets of the city to temporarily hold them back, but Li ru is breaking the talismans much faster than expected, so..."
Zhang Zonghan completely did not expect Dong Zhuo to come and snatch the corpse. Zhang Zonghan deeply understands how serious the consequences would be if the corpse fell into Dong Zhuo's hands, so the two of them hurriedly ran towards Yizhuang.
At this time, there were only two mortuary attendants sitting in chairs chatting at Yizhuang. When they saw Zhang Zonghan, they quickly stood up and bowed to him.
"Later, Dong Zhuo's men will come to this place. Could you two help me out?" Ms.Qin rummaged through her small bag and pulled out two small pills.
"Please take these pills, one for each of you, and then guard the entrance of the Yi Zhuang. Under no circumstances should you let Dong Zhuo's men in. Don't worry, they won't be able to harm you."
Perhaps it was because the Ms.Qin looked beautiful and spoke sincerely, the two constables did not hesitate at all, and took the pills and water and swallowed them.
"By the way, please also place this incense stick in the most ventilated area of the Yizhuang. When you see Dong Zhuo's men arrive, please light it immediately."
Ms.Qin The incense she held in her hand was completely different from the usual kind, it was silver-white all over, and there was no scent emanating from it.
Wu Zuo took the incense and turned away.
"Just now Ms.Qin..."
"Oh, we can talk in detail later. For now, please take me to where the body is stored. We don't have much time."
Due to the long time the bodies have been left, many of them have emitted a strong odor, causing both Qin and Zhang Zonghan to cough repeatedly.
Qin covered his nose and looked around, then picked up a cloth from the table and pointed to the window, saying to Zhang Zonghan:
"Please have Master Zhang hang these cloths on the windows as soon as possible, without letting light in. But it shouldn't be too tight, leave some gaps for air to flow through."
Zhang Zonghan immediately complied, while Qin began placing a black flower on each body.
"Black flowers..." Zhang Zonghan seemed to have read about it in a book about the demon realm, there seems to be a kind of black flower called...
The windows were all covered, leaving only a small gap for ventilation, and the room suddenly darkened quite a bit. Ms.Qin and Zhang Zonghan could only see each other's blurry figures at this moment. In the room filled with corpses, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Not long after, there was a commotion near the entrance of the Yizhuang, and it must be the arrival of Dong Zhuo and his party. Feeling a bit worried, Zhang Zonghan walked towards the entrance and happened to see an official coming to light incense, looking a bit nervous.
When Zhang Zonghan arrived at the gate, he was surprised to find that Li ru and his men seemed to be deliberately keeping their distance from the trembling guard standing at the gate. One of the demon soldiers with large nostrils appeared to be in great discomfort, desperately covering his nose as he stood the farthest away from the guard.
Even more surprising to Zhang Zonghan was that as time passed, the visibly unpleasant-faced Li ru and his men moved even farther away from the guard.
" Master Dong heard that the bodies from the past few days have not been buried yet. Considering Master Zhang's busy schedule, he may not be able to handle it himself, so he sent me to help Master Zhang deal with the bodies. Please have all those bodies brought out, Master Zhang!"
Li ru glanced around at the onlookers from time to time. Since he was standing quite far away, he had to raise his voice to speak.
Zhang Zonghan pretended to be calm and stroked his chin. "Ah, there's no need to trouble Master Dong or Master Li. I appreciate the kind gesture, and all these bodies will be buried tomorrow."
"This won't do. Are you suggesting that you want to defy Master Dong's orders, Master Zhang?"
"No, no, of course not. It's just that according to our customs, the deceased should be placed here for a period of time for family members to pay their respects and bid farewell. Not doing so might incur the dissatisfaction of the people."
"Hasn't it been parked here long enough? Do you still want to park? Isn't it enough to admire?" Standing next to Li ru, Hua Xiong anxiously waved his axe. He seemed eager to rush forward and start a massacre, but for some reason, he hesitated to take another step forward.
Just as Zhang Zonghan was about to relax, he saw Li ru slightly bend down, as if someone was talking to him, but the tall figure of Hua Xiong blocked his view, and Zhang Zonghan couldn't see the person's face. The coroner also stretched his neck to try to see who was talking to Li ru.
After a while, Li ru said, "Archer, come over and shoot those two constables to death!"
What—
Zhang Zonghan froze, actually daring to do it in front of the people—
At this moment, Qin ran up behind Zhang Zonghan and loudly said to the constable, "Hurry, come in and hide behind the stone pillar!"
Zhang Zonghan pulled the unresponsive Wu Zuo at the door and ran, an arrow shot right where Wu Zuo had been standing just now.
At this moment, an indistinct smell quickly spread out from inside like the wind.
Zhang Zonghan I haven't figured out what this taste is, and then I got confused by what happened next.
Li ru The scene suddenly became chaotic, and many Ghost clan soldiers were shouting loudly:
"Strange? Where did everyone go? How come I can't even see the houses?"
