Chapter 441 Black Dog and Butcher Shop

The night watchman's reaction speed was already very fast, but when they arrived at the burial ground under the southern city wall, Qiurong had already disappeared.

And there are no suspicious people or objects nearby.

However, Qin Shaoyou could still tell at a glance by relying on [Bright Eyes] that there were signs of being passive where the bones were buried.

Obviously, not long ago, the murderer came here, or checked the condition of Huang San's bones, or made other arrangements.

Because the murderer came and went quickly, Qiu Rong immediately followed after releasing the paper crane talisman to notify them.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou immediately ordered: "Look around to see if there are any marks left by Qiu Rong."

In fact, there was no need for Qin Shaoyou's orders. After Zhu Xiucai and the others arrived at the burial ground and did not see Qiu Rong and the murderer, they immediately started a detailed survey of the surrounding area.

They soon discovered: "My lord, there is an arrow drawn here."

Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui walked over to have a look, and there was a black arrow pointing to the northwest drawn on the trunk of the pagoda tree where Qiurong was hiding before.

Cui Youxu stretched out his hand to touch the arrow, feeling as cold as ice, and said: "This arrow is made of ghost energy, it should be the mark left by Qiurong."

Qin Shaoyou nodded, no longer wasting time, and called everyone to run in the direction pointed by the arrow.

On the way, they encountered several pointing arrows one after another, and finally they were led to a market.

Could it be that the murderer didn't hide in a remote place that is inaccessible, but hid in the downtown area?

Is this playing with us in the dark?

The expressions of the night watchmen were a little ugly.

Especially in the past few days, the faces of the night watchmen who had patrolled the market were all sinking.

Qin Shaoyou and the others chased after the market, but they didn't know where to go, because there were people coming and going here, and it was really not easy to find the mark left by Qiu Rong.

However, a few night watchmen who were patrolling here saw them. They wanted to come up to greet them, but after walking a few steps towards them, they saw Zhu Xiucai waving his hands quietly. They immediately understood that Qin Zongqi and the others were on a mission. No wonder All of them were wearing casual clothes, hiding their weapons and armor under their robes.

The night watchmen immediately turned to another place and stopped approaching.

But he didn't go far, but kept a suitable distance, which would not attract the attention of others, and could give Qin Shaoyou and others timely assistance when the situation changed.

At this moment, Qin Shaoyou felt someone pulling him gently behind him.

He immediately turned around, and as expected, Qiu Rong, holding a small red umbrella, was standing behind him.

Regarding the sudden appearance of Qiu Rong, not to mention that Qin Shaoyou didn't notice it, even the night watchmen who followed him couldn't tell when and how Qiu Rong appeared.

Qiu Rong may not have other abilities, but Qin Shaoyou is very jealous of his ability to hide breath and erratic.

"Where's the murderer?"

Qin Shaoyou lowered his voice and asked.

Qiu Rong raised her right hand, pointed towards the market with pale fingers without a trace of blood.

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and after excluding a group of ordinary passers-by, their eyes fell on a black dog.

This black dog is fat and strong, and its hair is shiny. It seems that the food is very good and it often eats meat.

"Bones!" A night watchman exclaimed in a low voice.

In the mouth of this black dog, there is a bone.

It was Huang San's tibia.

The black dog just carried it in its mouth and walked across the street.

There were several beggars in the market. After seeing the black dog, they showed excited expressions, obviously wanting to beat the dog and eat it.

Such a fat dog can produce a lot of meat after being killed, enough to make them full.

Perhaps sensing the malice of the beggars, the black dog turned his head to look at them, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

The beggars suddenly had a strange feeling, as if it was not a dog but a wolf staring at them.

This dog... wants to eat us?

The beggars were instantly startled into a cold sweat.

This is a dog that ate people!

The beggar was very accurate in watching dogs, and immediately he didn't dare to think about the dog again, got up hastily, and hid elsewhere.

However, the black dog was still not satisfied, staring closely at the beggars, its nostrils were still twitching, as if trying to memorize their appearance and smell.

"Brother Cui, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, and asked Cui Yougui beside him in a low voice.

Cui Youyu replied in a low voice: "Although this dog is full of viciousness, it is not a demon. In other words, it has the tendency to become a demon, but it has not taken that step. I can't feel it on its body. Fairy."

What Qin Shaoyou saw through [Bright Eyes] was similar to what Cui Yougui said.

That's why he was surprised.

Could it be that Huang San was not killed by a ghost, but was eaten by a dog?

What about previous disappearances? Was it the dog's fault too?

How can a dog that has not yet become a demon be so powerful and even eat so many people?

And the traces of dissection and peeling on Huang San's body, how to explain it?

Moreover, a dog that has not yet become a demon can't eat Huang San's meat in one night and hide the bones everywhere, right?

Qin Shaoyou suspected that the murderer who killed Huang San should not be this dog, but it must have something to do with this dog.

So he quickly ordered the night watchmen to spread out in the market, and quietly follow the black dog from different directions and distances to see where it was going.

Maybe you can follow this black dog and find the real murderer!

The night watchmen in plain clothes quickly scattered all over the market. They seemed to be shopping, but in fact their eyes were lingering on the black dog.

Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui, and Qiu Rong also quietly followed the black dog.

Not long after, Qin Shaoyou and the others saw the black dog sneak into a butcher shop in the market.

The owner of the butcher shop obviously knew the black dog. When he saw it, he stepped forward and kicked it, cursing: "Where did you go again? You are not watching for me in the backyard. If the meat is lost, See how I deal with you."

The black dog who was fierce before, but in front of the butcher shop owner, was not fierce at all, sticking out his tongue to please the cuteness.

Obviously, the butcher shop owner should be its owner.

only……

Although the butcher shop owner was burly and powerful, he looked like an ordinary person, with no evil or ghostly aura in him at all.

There is some blood and evil spirit, but this is very common in butchers, and it is not as good as martial arts.

Could he be the murderer?

Or is the murderer someone else?

Or was he deliberately concealing his true aura?

While pondering, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai beside him in a low voice: "Do you know this person?"

Zhu Xiucai has been in Mianyuan County longer than them, and he is good at finding out information. He has a very detailed background on many people in the city.

Hearing Qin Shaoyou's inquiry at this moment, he immediately introduced: "My lord, this butcher's surname is Zheng. He is the owner of the butcher shop here and a wealthy landowner in Mianyuan County. He has several knifemen to help him cut and sell meat. Everyone in the village calls him Daguan Zheng..."

Mr. Zheng? Or a butcher?

Qin Shaoyou's expression was a little weird: "He shouldn't have a nickname, Zhenguanxi, right?"

Zhu Xiucai was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Qin Shaoyou asked such a question, but he shook his head and replied, "That's not true. Mianyuan County is far away from the Kansai area. Besides, he is just a butcher, let alone the town of Kansai. Zhen Mianyuan is not qualified either. Only your lord deserves such a nickname."

"Don't." Qin Shaoyou froze, and quickly waved his hands. "I don't want that nickname."

Whether it's towning Guanxi or towning Mianyuan, it's unlucky. He doesn't want to be beaten to death with three punches.

While speaking, Qin Shaoyou saw the black dog get into the butcher shop and went to the back yard, and immediately greeted the people and ghosts around him:

"Follow the past and have a look."

Walking to the butcher's shop, Qin Shaoyou suddenly smelled a foul smell, and he almost vomited out his breakfast.

This stench came from a row of secret jerky hanging in the butcher shop.

However, Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai, who were following Qin Shaoyou, sniffed and said, "The dried meat here smells so good!"
