My Endless Life

Faced with Butcher Wang's vigilance, Li Qi smiled and took back the straight knife.

But he did not put the knife into the sheath. Instead, he presented the fixed knife in front of him and looked at the blade above.

The originally sharp blade had an obvious gap due to the collision just now. On the other hand, the seemingly ordinary machete in Butcher Wang's hand was unscathed.

Li Qi looked at the machete in his hand and suddenly said:

"A seventh-level warrior is holding a sword, but he is hiding here for no apparent reason...Butcher Wang, do you know that if I report this matter, I am afraid that what is waiting for you will be inquiries and arrests from six doors..."

"Stop talking about these useless things!"

Butcher Wang ignored Li Qi's threats. He interrupted Li Qi's words and said bluntly:

"I don't know what you six doors are doing now, but anyway, I did rest at home last night! It has nothing to do with the case you are investigating now!

"If you want to beat or arrest me, give me a happy word!"

Butcher Wang clenched his machete in his hand and his tone became even more unkind.

Li Qi wanted to laugh when he saw this: "I still like your groveling look just now."

"Dog officer——!"

After hearing what Li Qi said, Butcher Wang's mouth twitched and he was about to get angry.

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a golden light flew from Li Qi's side and landed in front of him.

Butcher Wang almost instinctively held the golden light in his hand. He opened his hand and saw that it was indeed a piece of shining gold!

"…Sir, what exactly are you going to do?"

With the gold in his hand, Butcher Wang's attitude changed instantly. He asked Li Qi doubtfully, not understanding what the other party wanted to do.

Li Qi did not ask about the other party's identity, but instead asked:

"How long have you been in the city?"

"For about two years."

For Jin Zi's sake, Butcher Wang answered truthfully.

Li Qi continued to ask: "Have you noticed anything strange in the past two years?"

"Strange things?" Butcher Wang thought for a while and replied: "If I want to talk about strange things, it is the recent rumors about monsters. I heard that someone was drained of blood by monsters and turned into a mummy."

"What else? Didn't you notice anything else?"

Li Qi frowned and asked.

Butcher Wang said bluntly:

"I won't hide it from you, sir. My identity as a butcher is just a disguise. My real job is not that, and Linbian City is not my hometown. Naturally, I won't pay attention to those weird things. If you only want to ask about these, sir, Then I’m afraid you’ve found the wrong person.”

There are not many seventh-grade warriors in Linbian City.

Jiang Ming is considered one, and so is the original Feisha Gang leader, and apart from them, the rest are all eighth- and ninth-grade warriors.

Li Qi originally thought that since Butcher Wang was at the peak of the seventh rank, as one of the few masters in the city, he should know some of the secrets in the city.

But I didn't expect that he was the same as Li Qi, or even worse than Li Qi, and he didn't know everything.

"Did you notice anything strange happened last night?"

Li Qi asked again.

Although this place is far away from the Feisha Gang's headquarters, the disappearance of the bodies in the Feisha Gang probably has nothing to do with Butcher Wang.

But with a sense of luck, Li Qi still asked.

"last night?"

This time Butcher Wang started to think seriously. He thought about it for a while and suddenly said:

"Oh, by the way, last night...the pigs sent from outside the city suddenly began to bark restlessly. Is this a strange thing?"

"Pig barking?"

Li Qi looked at the few pigs left in the courtyard.

Butcher Wang nodded and said, "Yes, last night...well, probably when Yinshi was approaching, these pigs started to scream inexplicably. The screams were very pitiful, as if they were in heat."

Hearing this, Li Qi looked at the pigs strangely and asked:

"...These are...castrated pigs, right? You said they are in heat..."

"It's just an analogy, but there's one thing you guessed wrong, sir. There's only one castration here, and the rest are sows."

sow…

Li Qi thought about the lingering smell at the scene, and then thought about the reaction of the pigs at Butcher Wang, which strengthened his suspicion.

The guy who made the corpse disappear this time should indeed be a 'pig demon'!

What Li Qi couldn't figure out was how the 'pig demon' stole the body in one night under the watchful eyes of two living people.

What Li Qi couldn't figure out even more was that if he could silence the two guards, why didn't he do it that night instead of silencing them the next day?

Is it impossible, or is there another reason?

Things are getting more and more complicated, but Li Qi doesn't have much clue now. The only thing he can confirm is that the person who did this is most likely a pig demon.

A monster similar to that bat spirit.

But compared to the bat spirit, this pig demon is smarter.

After all, before this incident happened, there were no rumors about the pig demon in the entire Linbian City.

On the contrary, the story of bat spirits sucking human blood is widely circulated.

"Okay, I understand this, but there is one thing I still need your help with."

Since Butcher Wang couldn't get anything out of him, Li Qi put aside the inquiry and spoke instead.

Butcher Wang weighed the gold in his hand, thought about it, clasped his hands and said:

"Sir, if you have something to say, I will do my best as long as I can do it!"

"This matter is not difficult for you. Recently, help me keep two live pigs, one male and one female, and pay attention to their reactions. Once they have any obvious abnormality, immediately go to the six doors and notify Can I do it?”

"This matter is simple, sir, don't worry."

Butcher Wang patted his chest and said.

The gold Li Qi gave him, not to mention letting him keep two live pigs, even if he let him kill people directly, there would be no problem!

A piece of gold is worth the head of at least an eighth-grade warrior!

Li Qi only asked him to look after the pigs. This was Butcher Wang's superficial job, and it really was nothing.

But having said that, after accepting the errand, Butcher Wang still hesitated and said to Li Qi hesitantly:

"By the way, sir, I can complete the tasks you gave me, but my identity..."

"Identity?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you just an ordinary butcher? What other identity do you have? Or do you want a job with six doors? Huh?"

"Oh, sir, you are really good at joking. I am just an ordinary butcher. How can I be qualified to work for six doors?"

Upon hearing Li Qi's words, Butcher Wang suddenly smiled.

It doesn't matter what the six-door errand is, as long as his disguised identity is not exposed.

After all, he still has a mission, and he doesn't want others to know his identity as a seventh-level warrior.

Butcher Wang's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Li Qi is not really a member of the Six Doors, and his identity has nothing to do with Li Qi.

For Li Qi now, the most important thing is to find a way to find the pig demon, preferably to capture it alive and then study it.

He doesn't care about the rest.

After reaching a deal with Butcher Wang, Li Qi left Butcher Wang's home and headed straight to the west of the city.

On the way, he met the six-door policeman who was waiting for him, and he was led by the policeman to Butcher Feng's house in the west of the city.

Butcher Feng is different from Butcher Wang.

He is really just an ordinary person.

There is an old mother in the family who is almost sixty years old. Although she is also a bachelor, it is said that she is having a slight affair with the widow of a family next door. It is said that a matchmaker is going to match them.

If nothing unexpected happens, this bachelor in his thirties will get married soon.

His confession was similar to that of Butcher Wang, saying that something was wrong with the pigs last night, but he didn't think much about it. He scolded and hit the pigs with a stick a few times, and the pigs calmed down.

Other than that there is nothing unusual.

Having already passed by the two butchers' homes, Li Qi asked Jiang Ming to go to the vegetable market and morning market to ask about the meat shops there.

But the result was still nothing, and the clues were cut off.

After a busy day and found nothing, everyone returned to the government office to sort out the results of the day's investigation.

Liu Zhi followed Li Qi for a day and saw that Li Qi found nothing. He said hello and returned to the county government office.

Li Qi was sitting in the study, frowning as he looked at the files in his hands.

He now misses the relics from his previous life, as well as the magic from his previous life.

If the finding-object spell could be used, and if those special relics used to find things were still at hand, this case would definitely not be such a headache for him.

"My lord, please have some tea and rest."

While Li Qi was flipping through the files, Jiang Ming walked in with tea.

He said to Li Qi with a smile on his face. Seeing Li Qi's bad expression, he couldn't help but persuade him:

"Sir, you don't have to worry so much. There are so many unsolved cases in the world, including ours.

"Besides, in this case, except for the two government officials, the rest are gangsters who deserve no sympathy even if they die. Don't let this case make you exhausted."

Jiang Ming's face was just like that of a eunuch in the palace.

Li Qi was too lazy to tell him, so he took the hot tea and looked at it twice, then took a sip and put it aside.

Just as he was about to continue reading the files, Li Qi suddenly realized something and asked Jiang Ming:

"You said... there are many unsolved cases?"

"Uh..." Jiang Ming's expression froze and he quickly said: "Sir, please don't misunderstand! It's not that we don't work hard to investigate the case, but in most cases, there really are no clues! And we are not sure that the person who committed the crime is a Jianghu person. We are still ordinary people, so..."

"I didn't ask you that!"

Interrupting Jiang Ming's attempt to put himself aside, Li Qi said: "Go and get all the unsolved case files in the city in recent years. Let me take a look."

"this……"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"There is indeed a problem. Most of the files on the case are with the county magistrate."

Jiang Ming explained.

Li Qi's eyes turned evil, and Jiang Ming quickly said:

"Sir, please don't be angry. The main reason is that most of the cases here have been determined not to be committed by Jianghu people, so they were placed with the county magistrate. As you know, our six doors... are not suitable for interfering too much in the county. Yamen’s affairs.”

Strictly speaking, the functions of the six doors are not many.

Most of them can only deal with matters related to Jianghu people, or conversely, only when the county government is sure that Jianghu people did something, the matter will be handed over to the six doors.

Normally, Six Doors does not have that much investigative power.

Therefore, files related to many cases will not be kept here at Liumen, but at the county government office.

Without a suitable reason, Jiang Ming had no right to check it.
