Chapter 436 The Real Murderer Xiao Zhen
Chapter 436 The Real Murderer Xiao Zhen
The mermaids were extremely cruel and vicious, and ordinary humans had no power to fight back. I'm afraid only Zhang Mo, who was at the forefront of the acupoints, could suppress the mermaids.
But if the mermaids used spiritual energy, Zhang Mo would be defeated instantly.
The merpeople easily destroyed the Mengze City by relying only on their physical strength, sharp claws, and charming eyes.
In some rare cases, a little bit of spiritual energy needs to be consumed.
Occasionally one would encounter one or two practitioners who fought desperately, but these practitioners would use dream techniques to interfere with them and then kill them with a single surprise attack.
Overall, it's not too troublesome.
There were three miserable corpses in the yamen, with their torsos connected to an arm and their heads crushed. There was a red and white footprint connecting the corpses.
It was truly a tragedy. A hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Changxiao's eyes. What was even more terrifying was that he thought that his descendants in future generations might also encounter such a situation again.
And according to the traces at the scene, the mermaids first defeated the three people, tore off their three limbs, threw them on the ground and killed all the people nearby, and then turned around and trampled the three people to death one by one.
The despair and fear before death can be imagined. This was a very ordinary day, but suddenly such a thing happened.
Li Changxiao took out a fire and burned all the corpses nearby. He walked into the hall. There were bloodstains along the way. Li Changxiao followed the bloody footprints on the ground and walked deep into the dungeon. He saw the beggar leader who was suspected to have killed Zhou Zuo.
His heart had also been pierced. Li Changxiao opened his dream senses and picked up the fragments scattered on his body one by one.
People's dreams are scattered and messy. Any thought that leaves a trace is a dream. Normally, Li Changxiao can passively accept some strong obsessions.
If you take the initiative, you can pick up a lot of fragments, and this ability will continue to grow stronger as your cultivation level increases.
This ability was derived from the dream-extracting technique he had researched himself, but at this moment, it was no longer within the scope of the dream-extracting technique. Of course, the most important reason why he had made such great progress in the art of dream extraction was due to the treasure of the God of Dreams.
The Great Dream of Three Thousand Strategies… and so on.
After about an incense stick of time, the azure color in Li Changxiao's eyes faded away. This beggar was not the real murderer of Zhou Zuo and was indeed wronged.
But he was not a good person either. He acted like a bully in front of beggars and often bullied other beggars. The young girl Xiaozhen had been beaten, scolded and robbed by him many times.
In the beggar's dream fragments, the girl Xiaozhen appeared several times.
In the beggar's impression, the girl Xiaozhen was unrealistic and always loved daydreaming. She often went to the private school to eavesdrop on lectures. After hearing a sentence or two, she didn't understand what was said, so she came back to show off her knowledge to everyone.
In addition, she begs on the streets, steals petty crimes, and is particularly fond of money. Once she gets the money, according to her logic, the money is hers, and she will not let go even if she is beaten to death.
If they saw that the young lady was pretty, they would become jealous and deliberately spread rumors about her. It was said that once, she gossiped about someone behind her back, and when she was discovered, she was beaten up and given a severe lesson.
Then the lady spread the news that if there were any more rumors, she would send people to teach the beggar Xiaozhen a lesson. Xiaozhen was so scared that she dared not say anything and hated that family.
The magistrate of Mengze City arrested the beggar and put him in the dungeon, and tortured him to extract a confession. This was because the magistrate knew that the beggar was not a good person.
Even for a guy who had participated in human trafficking, a few beatings were considered light punishment. However, the beggar kept shouting out his innocence, which indeed prevented the county magistrate from stopping the investigation of the case.
Li Changxiao pondered for a moment, left the dungeon, and walked towards the morgue. Zhou Zuo died a violent death, and he should have been buried in time and in peace, and in fact he was buried.
However, a few days before the destruction of the city, the county magistrate carried the coffin back to the county government office because he felt there were still some doubts and wanted to continue investigating. At that time, Mr. Zhou strongly opposed it, fearing that this would disturb Mr. Zhou's peace.
Unexpectedly, this move actually made things convenient for Li Changxiao, saving him the effort of looking for the corpse.
He pushed gently and the coffin opened. It must be said that Mr. Zhou loved his son very much, and the coffin he buried was made of the most expensive golden wood in the mortal world.
Ironically, Zhou Zuo died first, but his body was the best preserved because the coffin was tightly closed and the air was not circulating, which slowed down the decomposition process of the body.
Li Changxiao pointed his finger at his forehead. He didn't know how to perform an autopsy, but he could directly "test dreams" and test the dream fragments left by Zhou Zuo.
Although "dream verification" has a great deal of randomness, Li Changxiao is very lucky now. If he searches carefully, he will not end up with nothing.
The scene changes.
Li Changxiao then saw the dream left by Zhou Zuo.
Zhou was a domineering person who liked women. He had done many things, such as abducting women, but at home he pretended to be very well-behaved.
The disguise is perfect.
Most of Zhou's remaining dreams were scenes of having sex with women. Li Changxiao looked helpless, this kid's mind was full of that kind of thing.
As one dream ended, Li Changxiao immediately picked up the next one.
Zhou Zuo was the son of a wealthy family, and his family was extremely wealthy. However, the girl Xiao Zhen was just a dirty and smelly beggar, so she didn't know him at all.
But a few months ago, in his memory, a beggar did break in, a hateful beggar.
That day, when Zhou Zuo came out of Zuimeng Tower, a beggar walked towards him. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and asked him for money.
He was so angry that he laughed, and asked the beggar where he got the courage to ask Zhou Zuo for money.
The beggar said frankly that she had recently fallen in love with a hairpin, but had no money to buy it. She thought Zhou Zuo was rich, so she asked him to borrow money to buy it.
After saying that, the beggar acted smart as if she had found Zhou Zuo's weak spot. She told Zhou Zuo that if he didn't lend her money, she would tell his father that Zhou Zuo came to Zuimenglou every day.
Zhou Zuo was too lazy to talk to her, so he kicked her twice because she was dirty, and left in a hurry. He felt from the bottom of his heart that this beggar was mentally ill.
But he didn't know that it was this action that brought him trouble.
The "sick beggar" in Zhou Zuo's eyes was most likely the girl Xiaozhen.
Li Changxiao continued to look at the next piece of dream fragment. He was like a bystander who had transcended time and space. Through the dream fragment, he could see clearly what was happening at that time.
Since then, the girl Xiaozhen has been feeling resentful and often follows Zhou Zuo.
She discovered that every once in a while, Zhou Zuo would have a tryst with a daughter of the royal palace in a pavilion outside the city.
From then on, Xiao Zhen had evil intentions in her heart, and thought, if you don't give it to me, I will take it myself.
So, she stole a piece of iron from somewhere, covered her head with a rag, and made two holes in it to serve as eyes.
After fully arming herself, she waited until Zhou Zuo went out for his next tryst and secretly followed him.
