Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi nodded: "I guess the police didn't regard it as an important criminal weapon, and it wouldn't sound good if it was lost in the police station, so the news was blocked and few people knew about it. Brother, what do you think of this knife? Could it be related to the murder case at Uncle Xia Qin’s house?”

Xia Qin suddenly became nervous when she heard this: "Will my sister be okay?"

I'm just a trader in ghost things, and I'm not a fortune-teller with the ability to predict the future. How could I possibly know things that haven't happened yet?

Li Mazi saw Xia Qin's face turned pale with fright, and immediately said: "No, it's not an option to worry about it like this! Let's rush to Shandong now to see the situation."

us? Is there something wrong with me among us?

"Well, I've been suffering from severe neck pain recently. I've made an appointment for a traditional Chinese medicine massage at noon, so I won't send you off. Have a nice trip!" However, I was caught by Li Mazi just as I was about to slip away: "Brother, does your neck hurt? Why spend unreasonable money to see those quack doctors? Wherever it hurts, I will help you treat it."

Depend on! No, I refuse!

I was forced onto the plane by Li Mazi, and of course, I gave in half-heartedly. After all, Xinyue is on a business trip, and I am bored staying at home alone.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at Xia Qin’s hometown, which is located in a small county in Shandong. It is said that it is not far from the Daming Lake. Because something happened at home, Xia Se was in a very bad state. After seeing Xia Qin, she burst into tears: "They are all dead! No one is left!"

Xia Se's husband, on the other hand, stood behind her in a dull manner, comforting her awkwardly.

When Xia Se saw me and Li Mazi, she excused her husband to make tea and said to us while he was away: "It's that knife! It's that knife again! It was the knife that killed my uncle's whole family."

"How do you know?" I asked puzzled.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Xia Se was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so she kept promising: "Because I want to open a steamed bun shop again, I am planning to buy the land from my uncle's house. However, before my uncle said anything, my aunt was acting strangely. I was not happy and said a lot of unpleasant things. I wanted to ask someone for help, but there was really no other way, so I had to bite the bullet and go there again. Who knew when I opened the door..." Maybe the scene was too bloody and terrifying. Xia Se was so frightened that she didn't dare to say any more.

Xia Qin frowned unhappily: "Sister! Why did you get in front of someone with a human face and an animal heart?"

Xia Se said: "Don't I want to open a store in front of my home..."

Seeing that the topic had gone astray, I quickly reminded him, "What's going on with that knife?"

"After I opened the door, I saw blood all over the room, and my uncle was holding the knife in his hand!" Xia Se said nervously: "I didn't admit my mistake, absolutely not, it was just that my husband used to often Sharpen that knife.”

"Where is that knife now?" I asked curiously.

Xia Se shook his head blankly: "I don't know! I was so frightened that I called the police as soon as I ran out the door. I don't remember anything after that."

It seems that the primary goal now is to find the knife.

I asked Li Mazi and Xia Qin to inquire at the local police station to see if they could get some useful information. As a result, two people came back and told me that the police had not found the murder weapon yet, which meant that the knife was not at the scene. Who took it away? Or did it disappear on its own?

We stayed at Xia Se's house that night. After dinner, Xia Qin and Xia Se went to the room to whisper. No one knew what they said.

But I still remember Xia Qin’s words just now. When Xia Se mentioned buying land from her uncle’s family, Xia Qin commented that her uncle had a human face and an animal heart. Both of their parents died when their sisters were young. How could they grow up in their uncle’s house? So hostile to your uncle? Did something happen before?

A heartless guy like Li Mazi quickly fell asleep, but I tossed and turned thinking about things.

Just when I was about to close my eyes sleepily, there was suddenly a sound of deliberately light footsteps outside. I hurriedly sat up and looked out through the slightly open window. I saw a figure sharpening a knife on a whetstone under the moonlight.

The blade exuded a cold light and reflected a pair of angry eyes. It was none other than Xia Se's husband.

When did the leopard-headed knife come into his hands again?

What does this knife have to do with him?

Xia Se's husband finished sharpening the knife and caressed it with some care. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he put it into the sheath properly. He wandered back into the room as if nothing had happened.

I felt strange and worried that he would suddenly go crazy and hurt others, so I had to pretend that I didn't know anything, but I couldn't sleep well all night. When I woke up the next morning, Li Mazi saw the dark circles under my eyes and actually laughed at me with a smile: "Brother, are you going to compete with pandas for the job of a national treasure?"

Thinking of his snoring like thunder last night, I kicked him away unceremoniously.

While Xia Se's husband was out, I called Xia Qin and Li Mazi and told them what I saw last night. Xia Qin looked shocked after hearing this: "What did you say? That knife is still in my brother-in-law's hand?"

"There must be something wrong with that knife, and your brother-in-law's dramatic change in personality must have something to do with it." I said seriously, "Now we can only find the knife while your brother-in-law is away."

Saying hello to Xia Qin in advance is also to avoid misunderstandings, lest we sincerely help and end up being accused of stealing, which is really not worth it.

Xia Qin is a very smart person. When she heard what I said, she immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will testify for you if something happens!"

Dealing with smart people is simple, all you need is your words! So Li Mazi and I ran to Xia Se's brother-in-law's room with great fanfare and started searching. Soon I found the leopard-head knife in the cabinet.

The moment my hand held the handle of the knife, I felt a very strange power pouring into my body. That power seemed to contain a steady stream of courage, making me instantly fearless of anything.

I suddenly understood where Xia Se's husband's weirdness came from. An honest man who had been cowardly and cowardly suddenly got such a precious sword, his personality would definitely change.

Now that we understand that all the sources come from this leopard-headed knife, it seems that if we want to understand the whole story, we still have to start from the origin of this knife.

When Xia Se's husband came back, Li Mazi pounced on him without thinking.

Xia Se's husband, who didn't have a sword in his hand, was naturally no match for Li Mazi, and was tied up tightly by him with three blows. Xia Se turned pale with fright: "You... what are you going to do?" However, Xia Qin stopped her and said, "Sister, please leave it alone, we have something to ask my brother-in-law."

I walked up to Xia Se's husband with a leopard-head knife and asked, "Where did you get this knife?"

Xia Se's husband looked at the knife and asked inexplicably: "What kind of knife is this? What does it have to do with me? Why are you asking me?" It seemed that he didn't know the origin of the knife at all. Could it be that his consciousness was possessed by Leopard Head? The knife is controlled, so is that why he does those strange actions without knowing it?

This is a bit difficult to handle.

I asked Li Mazi to let go of him, and I took the knife and went out. I didn't dare to draw the blade, I only dared to insert the knife into the sheath.

Although the county is small, there are many Internet cafes. I found a shop and hurriedly turned on my computer and asked the man in the T-shirt for help. After opening the video, I saw him in Tibet, drinking butter tea coolly, which immediately made me envious.

I hurriedly explained to him about the leopard head knife and asked him if he knew the origin of the knife.

The man in the T-shirt looked at the sword in the video and simply shook his head: "I don't know him, I've never seen it before."

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even the man in the T-shirt didn't know. Who should I turn to for help?

The man in the T-shirt suddenly said calmly: "But don't be disappointed. Although I don't know him, I must know someone."

"Who?" I asked excitedly.
