"Who is outside?" the person inside the house heard the voice and asked.

"Old man, do you know what's going on in this city?"

Chenxi saw an old man with a crutch and a slightly bent body. His eyes flashed and he made up a story casually.

"My surname is Mu, and I am a foreigner. My grandmother, who was dependent on me some time ago, died. My parents died since childhood, and only my grandmother was a relative. Before her death, my grandmother said that I had another relative here, so I asked me to come and find him."

"I came here and found that the city was half empty. There was not even a person on the road. I searched for a long time before I found you. Do you know what happened?"

"Poor child, if you search for a month or two, you can still find your relatives. Now, it's too late, and this person has almost been emptied. If you want to find it now, you will probably not be able to find it."

When the old man heard Chenxi say that he was here to find someone, he immediately regretted Chenxi.

"Is something wrong? I just wanted to pull a passerby to ask, but who knew that the other party was like being scared by something, pushed me away and ran away without looking back."

When Chenxi heard this, he knew that the old man in front of him knew some things.

"Girl, come in first to drink a bite of water. After walking for so long, you must be tired."

The old man did not directly answer Chenxi's question, but instead opened the door and let Chenxi enter.

"Drink some water first," the old man handed Chenxi a bowl filled with water. "The thing you asked will start from some time ago."

"More than a month ago, a dead body was found in the city. At the beginning, no one cared about it. The government took the body away. After waiting for a few days, no one came to collect it, so they were buried in a hurry. I thought the matter would be understood like this. Who knew that since then, there have been more and more people who died in the city, and gradually, people's hearts became panicked."

The old lady recalled the tragedy she saw, but she was still in shock.

"Who is not afraid of so many strange things? Those who have the ability and conditions will move away directly. The rest are either without a place to go or those who are concerned and unwilling to leave."

"The reason why those people ignore you is because the longer they stay outside, the greater the chance of dying, so they are unwilling to pay attention to you."

"Since this happened, old man, you are not afraid of living here alone?"

As Chenxi walked along the way, he saw the old lady alone when he got here.

"I am over seventy years old this year," the old lady was a little funny about Chenxi's words. "I have lived to this age, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Doesn't there be anyone in your family to take care of you?"

Chenxi saw that there were only one pair of bowls and chopsticks prepared in the kitchen, and was quite puzzled.

"It was originally there, but now it's gone."

At the end of the conversation, the old man's tone was filled with sadness.

"A person's life is very long and short. Like me, I have lived for more than seventy years, and some people don't even have seventeen."

"Sorry," Chenxi knew that what she said had hit the old man's sadness, "I don't know..."

"What's wrong with this? You don't mean it," the old man himself was out of sight. "It's good to leave, and I can save myself from suffering, the old man. This is so painful."

Chenxi could see that the old man was not in a very high mood, so he found a reason to leave the old man's home.

"Have you found anything?"

When Chenxi and Fang Baimo returned to the inn, they began to exchange information.

"I searched half of the city, but I didn't find any useful clues. The only clue that can be used is to know the exact time of the first murder in this city." Fang Baimo said.

"I'm about the same," Chenxi analyzed. "After the first murder case, there were other strange things and dead things one after another. I think if we could find the victims of the first murder case, maybe we could find out what happened after that."

"Now the whole city is in panic. It is impossible for anyone to solve our doubts. If you want to investigate who the first victim is, it is better to go to the government to investigate faster."

"Yeah." Chenxi nodded, "Then let's go now."

The people in the government were very surprised by Chenxi and the others' arrival. In fact, when they found that there was an increase in murders, they had no idea how to start and could not find the real murderer. They had doubts if there was something wrong with it.

They wrote letters several times to the nearby Immortal Sect for help, but they never replied.

I don’t know if it was the Immortal Sect’s people who really didn’t receive it, or if they knew it but were unmoved.

After all, ordinary people like them are probably worse than ants in the eyes of immortal cultivators.

"Please let the immortal, let the people below take the case file and find out for you."

Chenxi and Fang Baimo quickly obtained the case file because of their identities.

Chenxi looked at the book carefully and was stunned for a while when he saw the identity of the victim.

"The first victim said that the identity of the first victim was the son of a wealthy family. However, half a year ago, the family's business failed, the family went bankrupt, and the family lost its fortune."

"On the day of the accident, he was going out to borrow money from his former friend to spend the cold winter when something happened."

"It's nothing strange."

Fang Baimo looked at the part Chenxi said and felt that there was no problem.

“The problem is big.”

Chenxi turned the sect to the end, "Look here, it says that the other party was abused before his death, and there were traces of love and desire on his body, but as mentioned earlier, the victim was clean and had a childhood sweetheart fiancee who grew up with him."

"You want to say, what happened to this victim?"

Fang Baimo asked hesitantly.

"It's almost the same as ten," Chenxi took out several other copies of the book, "Look here, many of these later victims were the first friends who were originally planning to seek help."

"Do you think there is a possibility that the victims behind are all the same person, no, they may be a soul killer?"

Chenxi made a bold guess, "If this is the case, many things can be explained clearly."

"This guess is very bold, but it makes sense."

Fang Baimo pondered for a moment and answered.

"If you want to confirm whether this is right, just go to the place where the first victim is buried."

He did what he said, and Fang Baimo immediately called the official officer from the government and asked them to take him to see where the first victim was buried.

The official officer took Chenxi and the others to the suburbs and stopped about five miles away from the city, "It's this."

Chenxi looked at the small earth buns of all sizes in front of him, and looked around, there were about a hundred.

"Are there so many bodies that no one has claimed? Then can you still recognize that one of them is the one we are looking for?"

"Yes, some outsiders died here, some beggars on the street, some orphans, anyway, no one claimed it after time, so we could only find a place to bury people by ourselves. We can't put the body in the yamen and wait for it to smell."

The official stopped while walking and took the time to answer Chenxi's questions.

"This is the grave of the young master of the Lin family."

The official official pointed to a small earthen bag and said, "The young master of the Lin family has only buried it recently. Do you think the soil is still pine?"

"Someone moved this place."

Fang Baimo lowered his body, grabbed a handful of soil, crushed it, and turned around and said to Chenxi.

"It's impossible. This is a mass grave. All unclaimed bodies are buried here. Who would come to such a place?"

The first person to question was the official officer who brought them over.

"This soil is completely different from the surroundings," Fang Baimo directly put the soil he bought in front of the official's eyes. "If you take a look at it yourself, one is ordinary soil, and the soil on my hand is clay, and this clay is just around it, and there is no other place."

"It's true."

The official officer looked carefully and confirmed for a while, and found that Fang Baimo was right at all.

"Dig it out."

Chenxi said, "Look at if the corpse inside is still there."

He was able to kill so many people in such a short time, but he was never caught.

Mr. Lin either became a ghost, or someone refined Mr. Lin's body and refined the other party into a pi.

"this......"

The official officer was obviously hesitant and said that he was buried in peace. He had to dig out the people after they died. This seemed not good.

"I suspect that the corpse inside will be gone long ago. If the corpse is gone, then the murderer who killed others behind should be this Young Master Lin."

The official officer was a little hesitant, but when he heard Chenxi say this, he immediately made a ruthless heart and planned to dig out Mr. Lin's grave.

There are so many people dead in the city, and the case must be closed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, this place will really become a dead city.

The officials worked together and dug the grave in less than half an hour.

As a result, the facts were as Chenxi thought, and it was really empty inside.

"No. No."

The official stuttered, "We had prepared a mat for Mr. Lin before we buried the burial."

"We are the ones who are in charge of the salary, and we don't have much money. We just think that Mr. Lin is so decent when he is alive. He can't bury people when he dies."

"I can't afford a coffin, but there is still a cool mat. Now, there is nothing left."
