Gingerbread poured spiritual power into the talisman brush and drew twelve talismans in one go in mid-air.
After each drawing is completed.
Then a scene of a county government office will appear.
Li Dapu pointed to the first one from the left and said, "Is this the hall we visited today?"
Gingerbread is concentrating intently on drawing the last picture.
Liu Zheng answered succinctly, "Yes."
"Alright!" Gingerbread put away the talisman brush, and the entire scene of the county government office was displayed in mid-air by the Moon Mirror Talisman.
Including Cui Shouan's room.
It's no different from the supermarket's surveillance cameras.
Li Dapu: "Your method isn't that great either. What if they don't put it on their own rooms?"
"That just proves that the magistrate and his wife have a problem." Ginger Cake rolled her eyes.
"Oh right, I ate too much, my brain isn't working properly." Li Dapu sipped his flower tea.
I started munching on sunflower seeds out of sheer boredom.
Through the Moon Mirror Talisman.
It can be observed that the county government office is empty and quiet late at night, and every corner appears desolate.
It's completely different from daytime.
Time passes by little by little.
Li Dapu and the others were so sleepy that they simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Liu Zheng stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the moon mirror, afraid of missing any clues.
Jiang Bingbing tried to persuade Liu Zheng to rest for a while many times, but Liu Zheng politely declined each time.
Late night.
Even gingerbread couldn't hold on any longer and fell fast asleep on the table.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the glistening light at the corner of her mouth, and a barely perceptible curve to her lips.
He took out a handkerchief from his storage ring and placed it on her sleeve.
Gingerbread dreamed that she went to eat at an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant, and had just finished taking all the food and drinks and was about to enjoy it.
The boss then told her that the business was closing down.
"Little Biscuit, wake up."
"Little pancake".
"Hmm?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes hard. "Is something wrong?"
Liu Zheng: "Quickly look at the talisman in the bedroom."
Dark room.
A woman crawled onto her back, slowly moving to sit in front of the dressing table. After a short while, she placed her right hand on her left jawbone and peeled away the bloody flesh. With a forceful tug, the entire human skin was ripped off.
Inside the room stood a bloodied and mangled monster.
It moved, making a strange sound of bones grinding together, and picked up a brush to paint on the laid-out human skin.
The red spots on the skin were repaired in no time.
"Madam?" Cui Shou'an's voice came from the bedside.
The monster hurriedly burrowed into the human skin, but the ill-fitting skin was full of wrinkles, writhing with its deformed limbs.
The loosened skin gradually reattached.
The magistrate's wife touched her cheek, went to bed, and hugged Cui Shou'an as they continued to sleep.
"The magistrate's wife is a skinning monster?" Li Dapu said, still shaken. "Damn, that scared this handsome guy to death."
Back when I was holed up in my dorm watching Coming Soon, it wasn't nearly as scary as what just happened.
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Fen Jue lazily lifted his eyelids. "Do you think Cui Shou'an wouldn't know?"
"Boss, are you saying Cui Shou'an is also a skinning monster?" Li Dapu asked, patting his chest.
Liu Zheng frowned. "I suspect that the magistrate's wife's face doesn't have a birthmark or red spot, but rather that the human skin and flesh have been worn together for too long, resulting in lividity. Since Cui Shou'an covered it up for her, he must know that she is the Skinning Monster."
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
"Could it be that Cui Shou'an is under a spell, or that he just likes skinning monsters? You don't know how powerful love-struck people are! Some people even like kappa, so Cui Shou'an might have fallen for skinning monsters too." Li Dapu spread his hands, offering his own opinion.
"What is a kappa?" Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.
"Um, senior sister, don't listen to his nonsense." Ginger Cake brought the focus of the discussion back.
"If the magistrate and his wife were murdered, then the one issuing orders in the county office was always the Skinning Monster, so..."
Fen Jue continued, "So the county government has a big problem, we need to go there."
Their eyes met briefly before looking away. Gingerbread hummed in response, then looked down and noticed a handkerchief on her sleeve.
There was still a little water stain on it.
The bottom right corner of the handkerchief is embroidered with a maple leaf.
It was a handkerchief that had been burned!
Could the water stains be her drool?
Damn it!
She subtly moved her arm and, while the others were discussing the covert investigation of the county government, quietly slipped her handkerchief into her sleeve.
"There's no time to lose, shall we go now?" Liu Zheng stood up, drew his sword, opened the window, and leaped out.
The remaining three people stood frozen at the table.
Li Dapu raised his hands and clapped them. "Bingzi, your senior sister is incredibly efficient!"
"Stop babbling and let's go," she urged.
Three people followed closely behind.
Stand outside the wall of the county government office.
Gingerbread hesitated, "Where should we begin?"
Liu Zheng composed himself. "Simple, I'll be right back. You guys wait here."
That’s all.
With a whoosh, it disappeared again.
Li Dapu craned his neck and looked up at the wall. "Bingzi, your senior sister definitely doesn't have procrastination issues."
Um.....
That's not necessarily true.
When the eldest sister faced Immortal Lord Qingxue, she maxed out her procrastination stat.
The three of them didn't have to wait long.
Before an incense stick could burn, Liu Zheng had already climbed over the wall.
There was someone tucked under my armpit.
"Who are you? Let me go! My husband is the magistrate of Pingyang County, be careful of him..."
Liu Zheng put the person down.
Gingerbread swung his sword at the magistrate's wife's forehead, "Stop fussing and shut your mouth, or I'll take your life."
Her dark almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and when she became fierce, she exuded a certain imposing aura.
Fen Jue crossed his arms, his phoenix eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
Li Dapu nervously swallowed.
He glanced at Liu Zheng, who was acting unexpectedly, and then at Jiang Bingbing, who was making a spicy dish.
