Chapter 254 Appears again
When Li Zhi met the prefect of Guisong City, he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point to explain the purpose of his visit.
When the prefect heard what Li Zhi said, he no longer dared to be careless.
After all, this matter not only involves evil spirits, but is also very likely related to the remnants of the Illuminati. These are major issues concerning the safety of Guisong City and social stability.
So he nodded repeatedly with a serious face, then quickly picked up a notebook specially used to record various events, and began to read it page by page very carefully.
After a while, the prefect of Guisong City slowly raised his head, cast his eyes on Li Zhi, and said solemnly: "This prefect has carefully checked the recent family files just now, but did not see any relevant records of the situation you mentioned."
Li Zhi was a little disappointed when he heard what the prefect said, but he also understood that this was reasonable. After all, if there were similar cases near Guisong City, they should be reported to the Night Patrol Division.
So he nodded and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. Thank you, Mr. Prefect, for your help in checking."
After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave.
But just as Li Zhi was about to leave, a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside.
Then, a yamen runner ran in hurriedly from outside. When he entered the room, he saw Li Zhizai and was stunned at first. Then he hurried to the prefect's ear, bent down slightly, and whispered something in a low voice. It seemed that he was reporting something extremely important and urgent.
Li Zhi has always had good hearing, and he vaguely heard something like "blood-sucking" in the words of the yamen runner. His heart suddenly moved, and his intuition told him that this might be related to what he was investigating.
So he stopped and stood there quietly, looking at the prefect of Guisong City with a calm gaze, waiting for the next words.
After hearing what the yamen runner said, the prefect of Guisong City frowned slightly, and a solemn look appeared on his face. He raised his head, looked at Li Zhi, and said in a serious tone: "There has been a case of blood sucking and death in the north of the city. You can go with him to take a look, maybe you can find some clues from it."
As he spoke, he pointed at the bailiff beside him.
After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he, under the leadership of the yamen runner, quickly headed towards the north of Guisong City.
Soon, the two arrived at the northern district of Guisong City. They saw that the place was already surrounded by a dense crowd of people, and people stretched their necks and looked inside with curiosity.
That scene was indeed the same. People from all worlds like to watch the fun.
At the loud shouting of the yamen runner, the crowd reluctantly made way for a narrow path, barely enough for Li Zhi and his men to squeeze in and reach the crime scene.
This is an inn. At this moment, the innkeeper is standing at the door with a sad face. After all, someone died in his own inn, which is not a small matter. His business will be difficult in the future. When he thought of this, he couldn't help sighing.
Under the guidance of the yamen runner, Li Zhi slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.
When we arrived at a room on the second floor, we saw several detectives carefully investigating the scene.
Seeing Li Zhi coming, one of the older constables was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "The Night Patrol Division is here so soon? I remember I didn't notify the Night Patrol Division."
There was a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he didn't expect that someone from the Night Patrol Department would appear here.
Hearing this, Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I was just investigating a similar case, and when I heard about the situation here, I rushed over."
After that, he said no more and walked straight towards the corpse.
When the coroner at the side saw Li Zhi coming, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, bowed slightly to Li Zhi, and then carefully reported the results of his autopsy to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi listened carefully to the report of the coroner while carefully examining the shrunken corpse. The corpse looked very strange, as if all the blood in the body had been sucked dry by something, and the skin was tightly attached to the bones, presenting a creepy shrunken state.
The way they died was exactly the same as the master and servant that Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi had encountered before.
Li Zhi opened the head of the corpse and saw a mark on the neck that looked like a mosquito bite. The mark looked very small and could be easily overlooked if not carefully examined.
At this time, the older constable came over and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"
Li Zhi raised his head, looked at him, and said, "My name is Li Zhi. What's your name?"
The constable smiled and replied, "My name is Liu Neng. Our chief constable is out on a business trip, so I am in charge here for now."
Li Zhi listened and nodded. He said solemnly, "Detective Liu, the cause of death of this deceased is very consistent with the cause of death of the deceased in the case I took over before. If there is no accident, it should be the same person. Please help me find out whether this person has passed through Yunman Town, and carefully check whether he has contacted anyone during his stay in Guisong City."
When Liu Neng heard what Li Zhi said, he responded solemnly, "Okay! Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to investigate these matters right away."
He knew very well that the cases taken over by the Night Patrol were definitely not to be treated and handled as ordinary cases, and they often involved some extremely difficult and evil monsters.
At that moment, he immediately turned around, called several other colleagues over, conveyed Li Zhi's instructions to them one by one, and asked them to start an investigation immediately.
Li Zhi frowned and pondered the murderer's method. Various possibilities kept flashing through his mind.
Suddenly, Li Zhi seemed to have thought of something crucial. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Blood sucking...mosquito bites...Isn't this just a mosquito?"
He had an idea and thought that maybe he could use the mosquito demon he raised to investigate.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi released a mosquito demon. The small mosquito demon flew around Li Zhi, making a subtle buzzing sound.
Li Zhi waved his hand gently, letting the mosquito demon get closer to the corpse to see if it could sense any special scent or clues.
Li Zhi actually knew that this was just a last-ditch effort and he didn't hold out much hope. But he didn't expect that after circling the corpse for a few times, the mosquito demon suddenly shook violently, as if it had sensed something.
Then it flew straight in one direction.
Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he saw this. He knew that the mosquito demon must have discovered something. He quickly said to the yamen runner who was still beside him, "I'll go out and see if there are any clues. You stay here first. If there is any situation, notify me in time."
As he said that, he hurriedly followed the mosquito demon and quickly walked out of the inn.
The mosquito demon was flying fast on the street, and Li Zhi was following closely behind. The mosquito demon led Li Zhi to turn left and right on the street at a very fast speed. Li Zhi did not dare to slack off and followed closely behind it at a trot.
Finally, the mosquito demon brought Li Zhi to a mansion.
The mansion looked quite grand, and its vermilion door was tightly closed.
Li Zhi quietly looked at the house from outside, thinking about his response. He was worried that if he rushed in directly, he might alert the enemy.
Therefore, he decided to let the mosquito demon go in and investigate first, so as to understand the general situation in the mansion before making plans for the next step.
Driven by Li Zhi, the mosquito demon quietly flew into the mansion.
