MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill

Chapter 24: The Blood Shadow Sect

When he heard it just now, he thought it was the work of people from the Beast Cult.

But the more I listened, the more something felt wrong.

Even if the body is not from local area, why are there numerous stab wounds on the body?

 This is the strange thing.

 Starting the investigation now will prove that there is something hidden here.

 The murderer should not be found.

"It's Lao Zhou. So you are here. Come over quickly. The body is placed in the yard. The policeman is inspecting it. Capt. Xie's expression is very solemn."

The policeman who answered Zhou An had arrived in a hurry just now, and only then did he react. After saying something, he hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard.

The person living in the inner courtyard is the county magistrate of the county government. This time he is probably going to report to the county magistrate.

Zhou An didn't stop either. Although he was confused in his heart, he still walked towards the yard.

 When something goes wrong, of course the policemen like them will also be busy.

"Old Liu, you are busy first, I will go over." Zhou An didn't wait for Chef Liu's reply, he held the long knife at his waist and walked towards the yard.

 …

 From the kitchen to the front yard, there is not much distance.

Zhou An held the long knife at his waist and arrived at the front yard not long after walking.

 At this time, the front yard was already full of police officers.

 In the middle of the open space, there is a straw mat.

　　A male corpse was lying on the straw mat.

From Zhou An's perspective, he found that the male corpse looked ordinary, with tatters all over his body, and all traces of being scratched by sharp weapons.

The wounds were densely packed, with hundreds of them.

These wounds no longer bleed, and the flesh and blood that comes out are so red that it makes people's skin crawl just by looking at them.

  “He is a master.”

　Today, Zhou An's skill of slicing things apart has reached the third level.

Even from a distance, you can tell something wrong with the body at a glance.

Although these stab wounds look horrific, each one is very sharp.

 The wounds left behind are neat.

 The most important thing is that each wound is of similar depth.

  Lift a heavy weight with ease, and move it freely.

 This is an ability that can only be revealed after the swordsmanship has reached a certain level.

Zhou An will do it too.

  Accuracy plus one allows him to move and retract freely, lifting weights with ease.

 But now he has only touched the threshold.

The corpse in front of him was covered with dense wounds. Even Zhou An couldn't do it if every wound was like this.

 “Very strong.” Zhou An set a standard in his heart.

 He was thinking this in his mind, and he was also busy on the other side.

 The experienced Wu Zuo is inspecting it carefully.

 Xie Captou stood aside with an ugly expression, staring at the corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed.

 Zhou An quietly came to Yu Hang's side without attracting anyone's attention: "What's going on?"

Yu Hang shook his head, leaned in front of Zhou An, and whispered: "I don't know, but Capt. Xie's expression was very solemn. I guess the person who died was of high status."

The two of them only communicated briefly, after all, the circumstances were different.

 Wu Zuo was still checking, and the detectives were standing aside, waiting patiently.

　After a while, Wu Zuo stood up.

“Died from excessive blood loss. These stab wounds were the cause of excessive blood loss.”

 Wu Zuo organized his words and spoke slowly.

“The opponent has the strength to kill with one blow, but he does not kill him with one blow. Instead, he leaves dense wounds to the point of slow death.”

 Next, Wu Zuo began to talk about other things he had discovered, but these things were not very important.

After hearing this, Capt. Xie asked Wu Zuo and a constable to carry the body away.

 He didn’t say anything either, and the scene fell into solemnity. The arresters didn't even speak, and the policemen didn't even dare to say anything.

Zhou An touched his chin and thought to himself: "The identity of the deceased is unusual."

 Normally, even the Beast Cult has never been so dignified. This time Xie Baotou is different.

The solemn atmosphere continued, and after half a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside the Yamen.

 Zhang Sixian came from outside with a tired look on his face.

 “Why did the people from the Blood Shadow Sect die in Anding County?”

As soon as he came in, he asked questions.

 Blood Shadow Gate?

Zhou An also heard this name for the first time and felt very strange.

Xie Xie nodded and said, "The token of the Blood Shadow Sect was found on him."

 A jet-black sign was thrown into the hands of Zhang Si County.

Zhang Si County looked at it carefully for a moment and put the token away: "It is indeed the Blood Shadow Sect. If you die in Anding County, it will be a bit troublesome."

Xie Captou sighed: "Originally, the Beast Cult made people panic, and now there's the Blood Shadow Sect."

 Zhang Si County asked: "What did the county magistrate say?"

As soon as he asked this question, the policeman who had just run to inform the county magistrate came back.

The policeman whispered a few words into Mr. Xie's ear and then quietly stepped aside.

Xie Captou felt the gaze of Zhang Si County and said: "The county magistrate said, please ask the Yamen to cooperate in suppressing Guisi in this matter."

Zhang Sixian frowned: "When such a big thing happened, he really didn't plan to leave the seclusion, so he had to hold himself in just for the sake of selection?"

Xie Captou said nothing.

His rank is one level lower than that of Zhang Si County and the County Magistrate, so he can only be a mute at this time.

Zhang Si County also knows that they belong to different departments and really have no way to deal with this matter, so they just complain.

"This time you have to increase the number of people patrolling the streets. I will go back to investigate immediately. After I find out, I will start to deal with it."

 No unnecessary nonsense.

 Zhangsi County came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

 After Zhang Si County left, Capt. Xie looked at the policeman in the yard.

"Everyone has to work harder. From now on, there will be no shifts. We all have to patrol the streets, and every two people form a team."

“If you encounter an emergency, you must promptly notify the town commander.”

 “Remember, don’t force yourself.”

When the detectives heard these words, they all looked at each other.

Although they are just detectives, they all have brains and can see the seriousness of the problem.

Captain Xie gave several more instructions, and even decided on the areas for each patrol to patrol, and then left.

At this time, the fishermen did not catch fish, and walked out in pairs.

Zhou An and Yu Hang were assigned to a team. They looked at each other without saying a word. They walked out of the door silently and hurried towards the patrol area.

 The location of their patrol is on a street not too far away called Cangyun Street.

On both sides of the street, there is an endless stream of people and vendors shouting.

 Two people walking with knives naturally attracted many side glances.

It was never the time to speak just now, so Zhou An spoke at this time.

 “Blood Shadow Gate, what exactly is it?”

 He just said this and didn't expect Yu Hang to know. After all, they both grew up in Anding County.

 The situation just now was very special, and he was also very curious.

From the looks in the eyes of Zhang Sixian and Xie Baotou, this matter seems to be bigger than the beast cult.

I thought I would just ask this casually, but I didn’t expect that Yu Hang was completely silent.

 Zhou An stopped and frowned: "Do you know?"
