Chapter 3
When you go out on duty, something is wrong.
Normally, when something happens on weekdays, there are street constables to do it.
Both public and private, just go through the procedures.
And if something big happens, all the constables have to act together.
Zhou An they have nothing to do, every day here drinking tea and chatting, in fact, is to deal with unexpected situations.
The government office pays to keep them, but it is also for the purpose of keeping the soldiers for a thousand days.
Master Zhang, who had followed the magistrate for many years, was an old-fashioned man, and with a notification, he hurried out.
The constables in the room immediately stopped chatting, put down their teacups, and left the room one after another with knives on their belts.
Zhou An and Yu Hang followed behind.
In the courtyard, there was a crowd of people.
The leader was the magistrate, surnamed Xie, with a burly figure.
It was said that when he was young, he was a good fighter in the jianghu, with a dazzling hand of fast knives.
“Sheriff Xie, hold on tight.” Master Zhang reminded with a hand stroking his beard.
There was a scar on Sheriff Xie’s face that extended from where his brow bone was to his chin.
It was said to have been left behind after a vicious battle with a few jianghu water bandits in his early years, killing all of them by himself.
After everyone had arrived, Sheriff Xie then took a few steps holding the long sword on his waist and walked in front of the crowd.
“Hu Yang Alley, depart!”
After saying this, Sheriff Xie walked in front to lead the way.
The constables were all puzzled and didn’t know what had happened, but when Sheriff Xie didn’t say anything, no one was foolish enough to ask.
These days, the gun hits the head, who asked who is unlucky.
Hu Yang Lane is not very lively in Anding County, but it’s not so remote, at least it’s a lot more lively than where Zhou An lives.
When Zhou An followed the crowd to Hu Yang Alley, he saw that Hu Yang Alley was filled with people inside and outside.
It was really three layers inside and three layers outside, like a meat sandwich.
These days, unlike the previous world where there was WIFI and cell phones.
There are only two ways to kill time.
Build a villain and watch the fun.
Only at night can you build a villain, but during the day, you just want to have a good time.
A scene like this with three layers inside and three layers outside is too normal.
“Yamen business, quickly evade!”
Sheriff Xie, who was experienced, stood outside and shouted.
The originally noisy crowd instantly quieted?
From Sheriff Xie’s side, it spread all the way to the last of the people when the entire alleyway was already silent.
The constable is still very intimidating, especially with that outfit on his body, for the people, they don’t want to socialize at all.
With a clamor, the crowd made birds and beasts scatter, and the crowded alleyway became open.
The situation ahead was reflected in Zhou An’s eyes.
In the middle of the alley, several constables were standing there, holding long swords.
And on the ground, there was a disheveled male corpse kneeling.
The male corpse was kneeling on the ground, hands together, and was kowtowing in one direction.
The state of death was extremely bizarre, giving people goosebumps.
Sheriff Xie led the men over.
Walking closer, Zhou An then saw that the male corpse’s chest was wide open and empty inside.
The internal organs were hollowed out.
An ordinary person seeing this would probably immediately throw up against the wall.
Zhou An had prepared himself mentally and even thought of what to say when he vomited later.
But now it looked as if it was just like that.
Last night at the liver knife work, he didn’t stop for the whole night.
The meat was sliced, shredded, minced, and finally cut into pulpy water.
Even after it was cut into pulp, it was still chopped dolefully.
In the end, it was all a bit numb.
Now that he saw the male corpse whose internal organs had been hollowed out, Zhou An only felt a little nauseous.
“Chief, the specific situation is like this ……”
The constable who was on duty here, told the story in detail, listening to Sheriff Xie’s frown.
This morning, the street patrol constable received a report from the people, ran over to take a look, and saw this male corpse, the death was extremely bizarre.
After some examination, it was found that this male corpse surprisingly had no signs of struggle, and the stiffness of the body to see that he was to maintain this posture before death.
There was even no blood on the ground, but the internal organs were pulled out cleanly.
Logically speaking, the pain of having one’s internal organs emptied out will definitely have traces of struggle, but there is none here.
It s as if …… it was eaten clean, and even the blood was sucked clean.
This kind of bizarre death, the constable felt that they might not be able to handle it, so they reported it to the county magistrate.
After hearing this, Sheriff Xie’s frown deepened.
“First move the body back, let the coroner check the cause of death, and if you can’t, report it to the Zhen Gui Division.”
The Zhen Gui Division, created by Emperor Xingwu, was specialized in dealing with weird and demonic things, and at the same time, it was also responsible for monitoring the world’s rivers and lakes.
The imperial power was licensed, and within the scope of bizarre demonic evils and monitoring the rivers and lakes, no department dared to stop it.
The constable nodded.
Sheriff Xie arranged for a few people to be in charge of carrying the corpse.
Zhou An and Yu Hang stood at the back, not bothering with this obscure job, and followed the crowd back to the Yamen.
After returning, there was nothing else to do.
There was a coroner for the autopsy, and if it was really weird, it would be reported to the county’s Zhen Gui Si, and then it would have nothing to do with the government office.
Zhou An started drinking tea again.
During this time, Yu Hang kept complaining about the matter of the gray rat worshipping people, so that he could not even eat dinner now, and had to run to the gentleman’s place to study.
Zhou An also chatted with one another, but his mind kept thinking about the male corpse he encountered today.
The gray rat worshipped the man, the male corpse was emptied of its internal organs and also made a bowing gesture, was there a connection here?
Zhou An didn’t know, and he didn’t have the skill to care.
How much is it only a month?
As for being so desperate?
There was still the Zhen Gui Si at the top, so there was no need to put your life on the line.
Indecent development was the way to go, and liver skills were the supreme truth.
“Lie flat.”
Once people were idle, time passed quickly.
The time to break up the duty arrived, and amidst a chorus of laughter, everyone greeted each other and left the courthouse.
Yu Hang ran so fast that he didn’t even eat dinner, greeted Zhou An, and rushed towards Mr. Private School’s home.
Zhou An, as usual, went to the street to buy meat, vegetables and rice, and then prepared to go home to liver knife work.
If you want to do knife work, you have to cut something, otherwise your proficiency won’t go up at all, and that’s how Zhou An set it up in the first place.
If you don’t cut the meat, vegetables and rice, you can’t cut the house, right, or carry a knife to the street to cut people?
He dared to cut, jail rice tube enough.
This time, Zhou An learned to be shrewd, first got some rice, after eating a full meal, this is to carry the chopper to the cutting board, put the meat on it.
“Liver two hours first.”
Liver for the whole night won’t do, people always have to sleep.
Although there was a stream of qi in his body after his Blade Skill was upgraded to lv.2, but if he didn’t sleep for a long time, having a stream of qi wouldn’t be of any use.
Thinking this way, Zhou An began to finely slice the meat.
Knife Skill lv.2, with Speed +1, Zhou An’s left arm slightly swayed, and the chopper was able to transform into a piece of residual shadow.
[Knife Skill +1+1+1+1+1 ……]
The words in front of his eyes continued to jump, and his proficiency was rising at a rapid pace.
Just at this time, Zhou An suddenly felt that a cold wind was coming from beside his ears.
