Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 227: Light Body Skill, Bright Red Shroud

Zhao Ziang’s worries are not impossible.

After all, something happened to the four people who had come into contact with the bronze medal.

Coupled with Captain Hu's current strange behavior, anyone would be worried.

Ta-da-da.

Wang Hu's face was tense, but his teeth kept chattering.

He was obviously terrified.

Still trying not to show fear.

The stone mill's face also turned pale, and he no longer had the fearlessness he had just now.

Being possessed by evil spirits is too ethereal and vague.

And empty things are more likely to make people think too much, and the more they think, the more scared they will be.

Only Cui Hao looked normal.

Cui Hao raised his head, hugged Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi and said, "Huzi, Nianzi, are you scared?"

"Who, who, who is scared?" Wang Hu stammered in defense.

"You said you weren't scared, but you can't even speak clearly."

“Just keep your courage straight.”

"The paper figures in the woods are quite spooky, aren't they? They still can't do anything to us."

Cui Hao used the example of the paper man he had encountered before, and it really calmed Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi down.

Shi Nianzi nodded and said, "That's right, that paper man has taken control of us all. It's even more bizarre than the evil spirit that possessed Captain Hu."

"As long as Master Chen is here, we can definitely keep things under control."

At this time, a man ran out from the gate of Captain Hu's house.

The man was wearing bright red clothes with the word "longevity" embroidered on them.

These are not clothes that ordinary people wear!

But it is the shroud worn by the dead!

The man was thin and short, and seemed to be a teenager.

After he went out, he ran as fast as he could, desperately trying to get to the alley entrance.

It's like someone who stole something and is afraid of being caught.

My heart skipped a beat.

This person's appearance is so strange!

It is likely that he was the one who released Captain Hu!

"Hurry, drive after him!" I yelled.

As luck would have it, Captain Hu just happened to crawl in front of the car, blocking the road.

If you want to catch up with him by car, you have to run over him.

Zhao Ziang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Captain Hu is blocking the road. We can't open it!"

"The road is so narrow that we can't get around it even if we reverse..."

Bang!

I didn't have time to listen to his explanation. I pushed open the car door and jumped out, chasing after the fleeing man in red.

Cui Hao and the others also got out of the car in a hurry.

Follow behind me and chase together.

At that moment I broke out into a running speed I had never run before.

Looking back, I had no problem getting selected for the provincial track and field team at that time.

In the blink of an eye, he ran a hundred meters.

Seeing that the distance between him and the man in red was getting closer and closer.

Just when I was about to catch up with him in one go, I saw him turn a corner nimbly.

Only then did I realize that he had run to the alley entrance.

"stop!"

I roared and chased in the direction he turned.

But after turning around, there is an empty dead end!

Not to mention human figures, there wasn't even a mouse!

The man in red disappeared out of thin air!

Cui Hao and the others caught up with them.

"Brother, where are the people?"

"Gone."

"How can we not see each other? This is a dead end!" Cui Hao said in surprise.

I can't understand why the person disappeared.

Even if he could climb walls and fly over rooftops, it would still take some time for him to climb over a wall.

The stone mill lowered its head and observed carefully.

"Nianzi, what are you looking at?" Cui Hao also bent over to take a look.

"Look at the footprints."

I looked down at the ground as well.

I actually saw a few footprints on the loose soil.

Follow the footprints inside, and they will eventually disappear in front of a wall.

I looked at the wall again.

You can clearly see traces of footprints on the wall.

The left foot mark is low and the right foot mark is high.

From this we can see that the man in red kicked the wall twice and then jumped over the top of the wall.

"Is this Qinggong?" Cui Hao asked.

Shi Nianzi nodded: "Yes, to be honest it should be called Qingshen Gong."

"My grandfather once said that someone with great light-body skills can easily jump over a three- or four-meter-high wall."

"An earlier Swallow Li San could jump over five meters high by continuously stepping on the wall."

Qinggong does exist, but it is not as mysterious as the legend says.

On the one hand, you rely on internal breathing to make your body lighter when jumping, and on the other hand, you rely on a lot of running and jumping training to increase your speed and jumping ability.

Starting from these two aspects, the effect of flying over the eaves and walls can be achieved.

"Can you?" I asked curiously.

Shi Nianzi smiled innocently and shook his head: "No."

“Not many people know the art of light body, and the tradition is too rare. Most people in the martial arts world use flying claws.”

A flying hook is a hook with a rope tied to it.

If you want to go to a higher place, just throw the hook up and hang it firmly, then pull the rope and climb up.

The thieves in the Rong industry are always using this trick.

"Master Chen, how about I climb over the wall and take a look?" Shi Nianzi volunteered.

I shook my head and said, "If we had delayed for several minutes, the person would have already run away."

"Have you seen what the man in red looks like?"

The three of them shook their heads.

"No, if you hadn't shouted, I wouldn't have noticed the man in red running out."

"I didn't notice it either, but I think he's a little boy."

"Could he be a kid from the neighborhood? He seems to be very familiar with the terrain."

That's what I guessed too.

I was thinking of asking Zhao Ziang to come forward and check the homes of the surrounding residents.

Just as I was thinking this, I realized that he didn't follow me.

Is this guy still in the car?

I walked back while thinking about it.

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw Captain Hu crawling at the gate of his yard, raising his head and neighing inside.

Then Zhao Ziang's voice was heard.

"Captain Hu...don't be like this."

"You, get out of the way!"

It seems that Zhao Ziang just ran into the yard to check the situation, and was blocked by Captain Hu.

"Go and arrest Captain Hu."

At my command, the stone mill ran over first.

"hiss!"

Captain Hu turned his head and bared his teeth at the stone mill, but was then grabbed by the neck by a palm as big as a palm fan.

Captain Hu, whose neck was locked, twisted his body left and right like a snake whose seven inches were pinched.

But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the stone mill.

"Come here!"

The stone mill exerted force and dragged Captain Hu directly to the wall.

In the yard, Zhao Ziang was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath, his face pale, holding a gourd ladle in both hands.

Captain Hu's wife was lying on the ground not far behind him.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Clang.

Zhao Ziang threw away the gourd ladle and stood up with his hands on the ground.

"I wanted to chase him, but after running a few steps, I felt something was wrong. I thought the yard must be the first crime scene."

"So I went into the yard to look for clues."

"When I came in, I saw Captain Hu's wife lying on the ground."

"After checking, there was no external injury. It is estimated that someone hit the carotid sinus and caused the coma."

"Compared to when I first entered, there's nothing obviously unusual in the rooms and yards, except for Captain Hu's room, which is unlocked."

"That means the person who ran away just now must be the one who released Captain Hu."

"But what does it mean by letting Captain Hu out?"

Zhao Ziang's analysis is entirely from the perspective of criminal investigation.

I shook my head and said, "The one who ran away was wearing a bright red shroud!"

"Do you know what the bright red shroud means?"
