Chapter 403 The man in the white paper hat
"You two are from out of town, right?" The bearded detective quickly reminded Lu Yang since he was not familiar with Huangzhou.
"If you encounter someone wearing a white paper hat in the future, be careful. This **** is committing crimes everywhere and is very cunning!"
“How to say?” The two of them were confused.
The bearded detective said angrily: "We have been looking for this grandson wearing a white paper hat for a long time, but we have never caught him. He came out of nowhere and has been active in the barren state for several years."
"Anywhere he picks in Huangzhou is where he commits the crime. This time he pretended to be a Qingming Inn and opened a black shop. Last time, he instigated his accomplices to steal things, made them wanted, and then caught them to collect reward money. What's even more abominable is that None of us saw that it was him who received the reward!"
“Last time, I disguised myself as a corpse and sold myself to a corpse collector. When the corpse collector was preparing to refine it, he found that the corpse was moving on its own, which almost scared the corpse collector into illness.”
“When the man in the white paper hat left, he was in shock. He thought it was a fake corpse. He chanted a small spell for several days, and finally realized that he had been deceived!”
“Another time, a barbarian reported that someone was doing smuggling business at the border of the wilderness, and it was him too!”
“This grandson will do anything to make money! If we can catch him, we can save five days of work every year!”
The bearded detective became angry when he mentioned the man in the white paper hat. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. If the man in the white paper hat appeared now, he would eat the man in the white paper hat alive.
It is not his only wish to catch the man in the white paper hat, it is the wish of the entire Huangzhou.
“This grandson is a bit strange. Several times, he appeared in two places at the same time, as if there were two of him. I don’t know if he was a twin or something.”
“And this time, we surrounded the inn and you were also at the door. Who noticed that he left?”
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou nodded. With their cultivation levels, the actions of ordinary monks could not escape their detection range, even if they were habitual thieves.
Being able to escape in this situation shows that the man in the white paper hat has extraordinary means or a level of cultivation that is beyond everyone's expectations.
“Fairy, did you notice when the man in the white paper hat ran away?”
The Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes, feeling that Lu Yang looked down on her too much.
"He ran to the west, but don't expect the police to catch him. Even if you two are involved, it will be useless. His escape method is very unusual."
“And even if you catch it, it’s just a clone, it’s harmless.”
Lu Yang was shocked that the immortal fairy could make such a judgment. The man in the white paper hat was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
The bearded agent directed the other agents to cordon off the scene and see if they could find any clues.
“Don’t forget to put the seal on it!” he shouted.
“Boss, does putting a seal on it work? He tears it off every time.” The bearded man asked cautiously.
The man in the white paper hat is so lawless that even if the seal is affixed, he can still tear it off and keep the inn open.
The bearded policeman glared: "You can stick it as long as you are told. It's his business to break the seal, so he will be punished even more!"
“Then let’s say goodbye first.” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou said goodbye to the bearded policeman.
Before leaving, Lu Yang kindly suggested: "I had a feeling when the man in the white paper hat escaped. He fled to the west."
The bearded detective looked at Lu Yang in surprise, but didn't say much.
"There are so many outstanding people in Huangzhou. Maybe we can really find a way to break my curse." Meng Jingzhou sighed, feeling that he should go out more often. No, as soon as he entered Huangzhou, he encountered such strange people and strange things.
“After struggling for a long time, I still haven’t found a place to stay.” Lu Yang reminded Meng Jingzhou to take care of the things at hand first.
The old horse swept his tail, lowered his head and took a bite of the tender grass on the roadside, and consciously pulled the cart towards the nearest village. Not long after, Lao Ma pulled the two of them to the nearest village. There was a big stone standing at the entrance of the village with the three characters "Jianshi Village" written on it.
“Why is it so quiet?”
The two got out of the car and wanted to stay overnight. They immediately found that every house in the village had their doors closed, oil lamps were lit, and no sound was made. Naturally, there was no one on the village road.
In Lu Yang’s impression, as long as there are no entertainment activities, people in the village should keep their doors open during this time and visit to chat.
“As if he was afraid of something, something strange.” Lu Yang frowned.
Meng Jingzhou selected the house with the largest yard and knocked on the door: "Fellow, we want to stay overnight."
ifies by means of sound)
Two voices sounded, and the old man opened the door, revealing half of his head, and looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou warily.
“Who are you?”
Meng Jingzhou showed a very friendly smile that he had learned at the barbecue restaurant: "We are two travelers passing through here. It is getting late and we want to stay overnight. I don't know if it is possible. Of course, we will pay."
The old man drove the two men away impatiently: "Go, go, outsiders are not welcome in Jianshi Village. You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, you may be eaten by dead bodies!"
"Be eaten by dead bodies. Do you have any dead bodies here? We brothers are monks and can help you get rid of the dead bodies."
When the old man heard this, he became even more angry: "No need, you go quickly!"
After saying this, the old man closed the door with a bang.
“Hey, you old man is so unreasonable!” Meng Jingzhou felt that the old man was neurotic. He was kind-hearted to solve the problem, but he was driven away.
"Is there a female family member at home, and you can't get in?" Lu Yang teased with a wicked smile.
“Get out of the way.” Meng Jingzhou swatted Lu Yang like a fly.
Meng Jingzhou refused to give up and knocked on the door when someone else knocked on the door. As a result, the other person would either chase them away or not open the door at all.
“Not hospitable at all.” Meng Jingzhou muttered.
“What’s the matter, continue to change villages?”
Meng Jingzhou didn't want to move any more places: "It's too troublesome. I just saw a place at the entrance of the village that I don't know if it's a temple or an ancestral temple. It's quite clean. It should still be in use. You can go there and spend the night."
"That's fine." Lu Yang didn't want to go back and forth anymore. He was rejected when he went to Qingming Inn just now, and he was rejected again when he came back to Jianshi Village. Who knows if he will be rejected in the next village?
Instead of fussing over and over like this, it would be better to just find a place to spend the night and investigate the cause during the day.
The two came to the ancestral temple and lit the oil lamp with the three-flavored real fire, and the ancestral temple lit up instantly.
“It’s quite clean.”
The two of them bowed to the tablet: "Sorry, seniors, we will stay here for one night."
At the end of the village, the cemetery.
The stones shook and the tomb was loose, as if something was moving underneath.
A dry claw emerged from the soil.
Immediately afterwards, claws sprouted out of the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, and they were too numerous to count...
