Elderly warriors on the battlefield of all races

Chapter 102 My hands are already itching

Upon hearing that his uncle's body had been stolen, Zhang Mu's face changed drastically.

My uncle was buried just yesterday, but his body disappeared today.

Suddenly Zhang Mu learned something from Lao Zhang's memory. In Wumu Town, it was common for graves to be dug up and bodies to disappear after people died.

It has almost become a common occurrence, and it seems that many people are accustomed to graves being dug up and bodies being stolen.

As time went by, no one investigated the cause anymore, and even if they did, they couldn't find the root cause, and it ended up being left unresolved.

Many people said that it was done by monsters, and that after people died, they were dug out and eaten by the monsters.

"I gonna go see."

Although many people are used to it, Zhang Mu doesn't think so. The most important thing is that that is Zhang's uncle, and Zhang Mu thinks he is a very kind old man.

Someone actually stole his uncle's body. Others could swallow their anger, but Zhang Mu couldn't.

He couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

The dead are the greatest. There is nothing wrong with natural decomposition after death. However, it is absolutely intolerable that some people want to use my uncle's body to do evil things.

He immediately went out and went straight to his uncle's house.

At this time, the children of my uncle's family were also there. They all knew that the old man's body had been dug up last night, but they were at a loss because many of them were used to this kind of thing.

Although they felt uncomfortable, there was nothing they could do.

"Come on, take me to see my uncle's grave."

As soon as Zhang Mu arrived, he spoke directly to his uncle's children without asking any questions.

Seeing that Zhang Mu seemed to want to track down the whereabouts of the old man's body, the eldest uncle's children advised him: "Forget it, the person has already passed away, why bother yourself anymore."

"Zhang Mu, it doesn't matter. The theft of corpses has become a normal phenomenon in the local area."

Although they knew there was a problem behind the scenes, the Zhang family was not capable of solving any problem, so they chose to keep quiet.

After all, even if someone is more powerful than the Zhang family, their bodies will also be stolen, and there is nothing they can do about it. The Zhang family is alone and powerless and cannot change anything.

Zhang Mu saw the helplessness of his uncle's children. It was not just their helplessness. The entire people in Wumu Town were probably all helpless.

"Stop talking nonsense. The past is the past, and the present is the present. I am Zhang Mu's uncle. If anyone dares to touch me, I will kill him."

No matter what others think, Zhang Mu will never tolerate such things.

In his two lifetimes, he had always been very respectful to his elders, so naturally he could not bear to see others desecrating his uncle's corpse.

It would be fine if he had no ability, but now he is comparable to a sixth-level warrior, but he is still like a coward. It is simply a joke.

What a warrior fears most is losing his bloodiness. How can a warrior without bloodiness improve his martial arts?

So he wanted to see who was behind it.

After saying that, Zhang Mu went straight to his uncle's grave.

When the other members of the Zhang family saw this, they immediately followed. They were just powerless, but they were also very angry in their hearts. No one wanted to have their elder's body stolen.

When the group arrived at the cemetery, Zhang Mu looked and saw that, as expected, the grave had been dug up just yesterday after the burial, the coffin inside had been dug out, and the coffin lid had been thrown aside.

The uncle's body inside had long disappeared.

Stealing corpses is not without its brutal methods.

Zhang Mu carefully examined the scene and was sure that this was not the work of a monster or beast, because there was no trace of a monster or beast at the scene. Instead, the traces of human intervention were extremely obvious.

His face looked grim. It was understandable if it was dug out and eaten by a monster, but it was abominable if it was man-made.

He turned to look at his uncle's children and asked, "You didn't call the police?"

The whole family nodded.

"Calling the police is useless. It has been like this for at least a hundred years."

"Zhang Mu, forget it. We know it was man-made, but I'm afraid it's not someone we can afford to offend. Just bear with it."

Not to mention the Zhang family, the people in Wumu Town probably guessed that there must be an untouchable figure behind the crime. After all, it's not like no one called the police, and in the end, the case was left unresolved.

This shows that the problem is so serious that even the guards are helpless.

The guards couldn't do anything to the other side, let alone others.

Zhang Mu took a deep breath. He absolutely could not tolerate this. He was not a Ninja Turtle. He waved to the Zhang family and said, "Okay, you guys deal with the scene. I'll take care of this matter."

"I will give an explanation to my uncle."

People have died and been brutally murdered. No matter who is behind this, Zhang Mu will definitely make them pay a heavy price.

This is the bottom line that cannot be tolerated.

"This"

"Brother, listen to me. Forget it. My father left this world with a smile on his face. That's enough."

The uncle's son also wanted to dissuade Zhang Mu.

When the old man left, he was smiling so happily. He was already content and had no regrets.

But Zhang Mu turned around and left without saying a word.

A group of people smiled bitterly.

Zhang He said: "My dad is like this, he has a very stubborn temper."

The uncle's children also sighed. They were just worried that Zhang Mu would be implicated. There were some things that they really couldn't find the root cause of, but they had some idea in their minds.

If we really continue the investigation at all costs, something might happen to the Zhang family in the end.

The mastermind behind the corpse theft must be no simple person. If it were an ordinary corpse theft, it would have been cracked down by the security team long ago instead of lasting for a hundred years.

Zhang Mu left the Zhang family. He wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly. It was obvious that the corpse stealing incident in Wumu Town had a history of at least more than a hundred years.

He believed that the local governor Han Hong and the guards must know some clues, or even know the culprit.

So Zhang Mu went straight to the guard team.

"Brother Zhang."

When the guards saw Zhang Mu, they immediately greeted him warmly. They all knew that Zhang Mu was very powerful and a hero of special merit, so they naturally did not dare to neglect him.

Zhang Mu nodded and asked, "Is your captain here?"

Just as he was speaking, the captain of the security team, Zhou Yuan, ran out quickly, smiling from a distance: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

"Hurry up, come to my office and talk."

Zhou Yuan's attitude towards Zhang Mu was absolutely very attentive. Now everyone in Wumu Town knew that the Zhang family was not easy to mess with, especially Zhang Mu, who was even more formidable.

Although I don’t know Zhang Mu’s specific strength, I know that Zhang Mu is not comparable to ordinary third or fourth level warriors.

The cultivation displayed on the surface is just an appearance.

In addition, Zhou Yuan had seen the iron order from Lu Wengong in Zhang Mu's hand, so he called Zhang Mu "Brother Zhang" and welcomed him to his office.

After sitting down, Zhou Yuan asked curiously, "Brother Zhang, if you have anything to tell our guard team, just tell us."

"We will absolutely cooperate."

Zhou Yuan did not dare to be negligent. The garrison commander had personally given them instructions that they should be more courteous to the Zhang family in the future, especially Zhang Mu, who must not be offended.

They would not offend someone who had a strong relationship with the semi-saint Lu Wengong unless they did not want to live.

Zhang Mu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "My uncle's body was stolen last night. Captain Zhou, you should know the culprit behind this, right?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Then his face became serious and he asked, "Your uncle's body was stolen?"

The body was buried yesterday and disappeared this morning. Zhou Yuan obviously knew about it.

Zhang Mu nodded and stared at Zhou Yuan with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Captain Zhou, I hope you won't hide anything about this matter."

"No matter who did it, I, Zhang Mu, am here to tell him to hand over my uncle's body immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and eliminating harm for the people."

Stealing someone else's corpse is fine, but stealing your own uncle's corpse is absolutely not okay.

Zhou Yuan was silent and fell into thought.

As the captain of the local guard, he naturally knew this matter better than anyone else.

For many years, people in the town have been swallowing their anger and doing nothing. In fact, Zhou Yuan himself is also helpless. When he thinks of the people behind the scenes, he feels powerless.

Seeing Zhou Yuan was silent, Zhang Mu said again in a deep voice: "Captain Zhou, I hope you won't hide anything. As the local officials, it is your duty to eliminate harm for the people."

"I don't want to see you helping the evil."

Because Zhang Mu also knew that Zhou Yuan was a relatively decent person and it was impossible for him to conspire with the murderer behind the scenes to do such an immoral thing.

Perhaps, Zhou Yuan and the others really couldn't do anything to the other party, and he could understand that.

"If you can't solve that scourge, let me deal with them."

"My hands are already itching!"

Zhang Mu made a harsh statement on the spot. He had no scruples about dealing with the murderer that neither Zhou Yuan nor Han Hong could solve.

In one word, just do it!

Faced with Zhang Mu's aggressive questioning, Zhou Yuan remained silent.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zhang, this matter is not as simple as you think."

"How about this, I'll take you to the town chief and you can talk to him. There are some things that I really can't decide."

After all, the problem was not something that a third-rank guard captain like him could solve, so he could only remain silent. As for the final result, he could only let Zhang Mu negotiate with the town chief Han Hong.

If Han Hong reveals the murderer, Zhou Yuan can also breathe a sigh of relief.

I'm afraid there will be obstacles from Han Hong's side.

"Okay, I want to talk to Han Hong too."

Zhang Mu finally understood that the problems in Wumu Town were very serious and even Han Hong could not solve them.

But he still wanted to know the details.

Following Zhou Yuan, the two arrived at the town chief's residence and met Han Hong. Zhou Yuan explained his purpose to Han Hong.

"Brother Han, this is what happened. I had no choice but to bring the person here. You can handle it."

This mess can only be handed over to Han Hong. As a captain of the guard team, he really does not have enough power to decide the final outcome.

After saying this, he did not leave but sat aside, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between Zhang Mu and Han Hong.

Zhang Mu stared at Han Hong's face and saw that Han Hong's expression changed repeatedly. He knew more about the corpse theft than anyone else.

In the office, the atmosphere fell into silence.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Mu still couldn't wait for Han Hong to speak, so he said in a deep voice: "Han Hong, what do you mean?"

"Want to shield the murderer?"

"My uncle's body was stolen just because someone said so?"

"What does it mean to keep silent?"

Han Hong's attitude made him very unhappy. Was he afraid of the murderer behind the scenes? But Han Hong was a local official and should not be so evasive.

But he was unwilling to do so. He would not give up until the matter was thoroughly investigated.

If he really couldn't get the answer from Han Hong, he just had to investigate and he would definitely be able to find the culprit.

The man behind the corpse theft has been committing crimes for a hundred years and it is impossible for him to give up immediately. So as long as there is another death in Wumu Town, he can easily catch the murderer by lurking nearby.

Facing Zhang Mu's questioning, Han Hong finally raised his head, his face a little solemn, took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Mu, can we just stop this matter?"

This is Han Hong’s attitude. He still refused to tell Zhang Mu the truth and even asked Zhang Mu to keep quiet.

Zhang Mu was puzzled. He looked at Han Hong in confusion and said, "Han Hong, you are the official of Wumu Town. The corpse theft has been going on in this town for hundreds of years."

"Is that how you handle this? Just sit back and do nothing?"

"Now please tell me why."

Han Hong sighed, but just like at the beginning, he wanted Zhang Mu to give up: "Zhang Mu, for some things, turning a blind eye may be good for everyone."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about the people of Ebony Town."

"As long as they don't harm the living, it will be the greatest victory."

It was obvious that Han Hong had great concerns about the mastermind behind the corpse theft.

At this moment, Zhang Mu also understood.

He asked, "You mean, the murderer behind the corpse theft is very powerful, so powerful that you can't do anything about it, right?"

Based on Han Hong and Zhou Yuan's reactions, Zhang Mu judged that this was probably the reason.

As long as the opponent is strong enough, Han Hong and Zhou Yuan can't afford to offend him, so for so many years, they have always chosen to keep quiet. Besides, the opponent is just stealing corpses, not killing people.

So it's not too serious.

Han Hong nodded this time, and said with a hint of reluctance: "Yes, the opponent is very strong and we can't deal with it."

Everything proves that Han Hong also has a deep sense of powerlessness and is unable to do anything.

It’s not that Han Hong doesn’t want to do anything, but that he is powerless.

Zhang Mu stopped questioning Han Hong and prepared to leave: "Okay, I will provoke those you can't afford to offend. I want to see who they are."

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out about them."

After saying that, leave.

"etc."

Han Hong quickly stood up and stopped Zhang Mu directly.

He begged, "Zhang Mu, forget it. Don't embarrass me anymore, and don't pursue the real murderer."

"I beg you, okay?"

Zhang Mu refused directly and sternly: "No, no one can desecrate my uncle's body."

His attitude was as firm as ever. This world was already broken. It was other people's business if they were broken, but he couldn't let himself become more broken.

He even shouted loudly: "I am in charge of the corpse stealing case in Wumu Town. From now on, if anyone dares to steal corpses, I, Zhang Mu, will kill them all."

The corpse theft case is definitely not the behavior of a normal person. Perhaps there are aliens involved.

In fact, the Blue Star mainland is not as peaceful as it seems. Behind the scenes, countless forces are causing chaos and running rampant.

Even the local governor was powerless.

Outside the Blue Star, there are alien invasions, and inside the Blue Star, there are constant internal troubles.

Han Hong and Zhou Yuan were shocked when they heard Zhang Mu threatened to take charge of the corpse theft case in Wumu Town. Zhang Mu's words were sonorous, powerful, and resolute, with unprecedented determination.

After watching the video of Zhang Mu at the Longcheng base, I also know Zhang Mu's style. Under his calm appearance, he hides endless ferocity and domineering.

But Han Hong suddenly said: "Zhang Mu, we know you have some ability, but you don't know the seriousness of the matter at all."
