Chapter 227 Appearance [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

After Mo Qiuren arrived, Liang Yue asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know where Boss Xue is?"

"Boss Xue's territory is not far from here. Are you looking for him?" Zhang Danian said hesitantly, "Boss Xue may not be as powerful as Boss Hong, but he has a bad temper. He flatters Captain Chen in every way, but beats and scolds ordinary prisoners like us."

"Don't be afraid. With me here, who would dare to hit you?" Liang Yue patted his shoulder.

Zhang Danian said no more and took Liang Yue and Mo Qiuren to look for Boss Xue. After crossing a hill, they came to another place. There were more figures among the mountain walls, all working quietly.

Going around the front of the mountain, there is a shady open space on the side. You can see three or five men enjoying the cool air here. They are not working, but just chatting.

The one surrounded in the middle was Boss Xue whom I met last night.

He was lying on a large, smoothly polished rock, leaning at an angle, looking lazy.

Seeing Liang Yue and the others approaching, this person's eyes became alert. He glanced at them, and the younger brothers beside him stood up and shouted, "Where are you from? What are you doing?"

Liang Yue smiled and said, "I want to ask Boss Xue a few questions."

"Not everyone is worthy of talking to me." Boss Xue said calmly.

His non-cooperation was expected. Liang Yue didn't say anything, but suddenly leaped up and punched the man in front of him several feet away. He then used his backhand elbow to knock the man who had just pounced on him away in the chest.

Seeing this, the two people behind actually pulled out short blades from their waists. With the supervision of the quarry, it was not surprising that they could bring in sharp weapons.

But Liang Yue was not afraid. He kicked them both away with a flying kick.

With just three punches and two kicks, he easily defeated these men.

Then he looked at Boss Xue again and asked with a smile, "Can I ask you a few questions now?"

Boss Xue had sat up from the big rock without knowing when, patted the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down."

The reason why they fight when they disagree is that this is the easiest way to deal with this kind of bully. If you talk to him with emotion and reason, he may even try to deceive you after spending a lot of effort.

Give him a good beating to show off his muscles, and he will immediately become much more obedient.

"What I want to ask most is one question." Liang Yue said bluntly, "Where is Captain Chen?"

Boss Xue's expression remained unchanged, his eyes turned slightly, and he said, "I don't know why you are asking me this? Didn't Captain Chen die last night? You were there too."

"It is because I was there that I am sure that Captain Chen is not dead." Liang Yue said firmly.

Boss Xue seemed shocked and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

"It's a very simple truth. Captain Chen knew that there was a flying head downstairs who could kill people, but he didn't arrange for any additional guards, nor did he take any precautions, and just let the flying head kill him again." Liang Yue said: "If he was so careless, how could he have been in charge of the quarry for so many years without any trouble?"

"What you said makes some sense, but what does this have to do with me..." Boss Xue turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Boss Xue, will you not cry until you see the coffin?" Liang Yue frowned slightly and said, "If Captain Chen is not dead, then there is only one possibility for him to leave, that is, you have joined forces to play a little trick."

"That flying head didn't come from outside. It was in Captain Chen's house. There were many people with high cultivation at the time. If the flying head had broken through the window like it did downstairs, it would have aroused vigilance. The marks on the window can also prove this. There are only signs of breaking out, but no signs of breaking in."

"If I'm not mistaken, the box that Boss Ma presented as a treasure should contain the head."

"Among the two people you brought, one of them looked like a woman, but was actually a man, and his body shape was similar to that of Captain Chen. Captain Chen was thin, so it wasn't that difficult for him to disguise himself as a woman. After you talked to Captain Chen, the two men lowered their heads and covered their faces, because one of them had been replaced by the real Captain Chen... Cao Yi had never seen Captain Chen, so he didn't know that the person he saw was not the real one."

"You are just guessing!" Boss Xue waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't tell me these groundless stories anymore."

"Boss Xue, you have to think it over clearly." Liang Yue said, "I'm telling you now, but you're just making groundless accusations. When the people from the Horse Drinking Station come and tell you, you won't have the chance to be so tough. It would be better for you if you tell them earlier that Captain Chen is there."

Hearing the name of the Horse Drinking Station, Boss Xue was obviously panicked and hesitated. At this moment, a ball of black light suddenly appeared in the sand and gravel over there.

It’s that flying head again!

……

whoosh-

The flying head soared into the air and rushed towards several people. Its eyes flashed and released two golden lights, shooting straight towards Boss Xue!

Liang Yue grabbed Boss Xue and lunged forward, dodging the golden light from the flying head, while shouting, "Brother Lu!"

Although Mo Qiuren in front was blind, he had a sharp mind and had already noticed the flying head rising. He waved his hands and a erhu appeared in his hands.

Zhang Danian shrank to the side as soon as the incident happened. When he saw Liang Yue shouting, "Don't ask anyone for help," he thought he was a hidden master.

But when he saw him pull out the erhu with a wave of his hand, he suddenly became anxious, "Hey, so you are here to compose the music!"

As soon as Mo Qiuren plucked the string, a hoarse sound was heard, and the flying head in the air was actually paused when it heard it.

As he pulled the string more and more urgently, Feitou's struggle became more and more intense, as if he was trying to break free from some kind of control. Mo Qiuren looked around for a while, then suddenly pointed to the side and said, "It's thirty-five feet over there!"

Liang Yue flew out in the direction he pointed in an instant, leaving no name in his hand. The sword energy surged out with a fierce momentum.

After going around the cliff, I saw a figure hiding behind a stone pit. He was performing hand seals in the air with both hands, as if he was fighting against something.

This person is none other than Boss Ma from yesterday!

Liang Yue’s appearance startled him and his hands trembled.

The flying head over there fell to the ground instantly with a thud.

Boss Ma turned around and tried to escape, but Liang Yue didn't draw his sword, but flew up and kicked, bang——

The kick hit Boss Ma right on the head, sending him flying several feet sideways and falling to the ground in a daze.

Liang Yue carried him back and left him with Boss Xue. The two looked at each other. After a while, Boss Xue asked, "Old Ma, are you going to kill me?"

"This, this..." Boss Ma hesitated for a moment before sighing heavily, "The captain asked me to do this. I dare not disobey."

Mo Qiuren picked up the flying head, touched it with both hands to check it, and smiled: "It should be the workmanship of the Xizhou Puppet Sect. The material is very good, but the workmanship is a bit rough. If the skills are more advanced, it won't be so easy for me to disturb the spiritual consciousness."

"What's going on?" Zhang Danian then poked his head out from the side.

I have to say, this guy does have some professional qualities.

In such a short while, he had dug a big hole in the stone ground and covered it with a stone slab. He was simply a natural hole-robber.

"When I touched the head last night, I realized something was wrong." Liang Yue said, "If it is really the legendary flying head, it should feel some pain. But even a strong man like Hong Xi couldn't make it scream with all his strength. It looks more like a dead object. And the flying head technique definitely does not require close control like a puppet. The farther the caster is from the battlefield, the safer it is. But I found some strange footprints outside the small attic, which seemed like someone was controlling it very close. With these guesses, I asked my friend who is proficient in refining equipment to find out, and he found something wrong."

He looked at Boss Ma and Boss Xue on the ground, "Boss, can you tell me what's going on?"

　Good morning.

　　There are only a few cases in the second volume, so why are people still talking about writing a detective story collection? I don't feel like writing a case now, and I can't write it well no matter how hard I try. The plot is here, and there should be a certain atmosphere to maintain, and it should end quickly.
