Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 265 Uncle Jiu was arrested
This guy is talking nonsense!
Uncle Jiu, who was standing next to Awei, saw Awei's embarrassed look and made this judgment in his mind instantly.

Awei is just a fool, how can he investigate any case? Without Ren Fa's relationship, his IQ is not enough to get the position of security captain.

He only saw a few bloody holes on Ren Fa's neck and thought it was caused by a gunshot.

If he had any ability, he would have been able to tell that this was not a gunshot wound at all, otherwise his neck would have been broken long ago.

Uncle Jiu squinted his eyes and looked at A Wei with a smile: "Your shooting skills are so good, every shot hits the neck?"

He was somewhat annoyed that Awei had rudely stopped him from investigating Master Ren's behavior, and even more annoyed that Awei spoke without thinking. Faced with a murder case, and the one involving his own uncle, he actually did things without thinking and just spoke without thinking.

Questioned by Uncle Jiu, who felt that the claim of being shot to death was indeed inappropriate, Ah Wei quickly changed his story: "Ah? The murderer was a martial arts master, and also good at throwing knives."

"The murderer released one... one..."

Ah Wei's mind raced, trying to recall what would be suitable for the situation. He soon thought of a hidden weapon and hastily pulled it out. "The murderer used a nine-linked gold coin dart to kill Master Ren."

Uncle Jiu felt that Awei was so annoying for talking nonsense, and he exposed Awei again without mercy.

He sneered, "Where is the dart?"

Dart? Where is the dart? If I had found the murder weapon, why would I, Awei, be talking nonsense here all the time?

After being challenged by Uncle Jiu twice, Ah Wei became angry and looked at Uncle Jiu with a bad look: "Hey... stop making trouble here and stop interfering with my investigation."

This is already a warning tone.

Then, A Wei stared at Uncle Jiu fiercely: "You are smart, then tell me how Master Ren died."

Already knowing the answer, Uncle Jiu blurted out, "If you ask me, he was killed by being stabbed to death by his fingernails."

As he spoke, he raised his hands and made a hand-insertion gesture.

Suddenly, his long nails were exposed in front of Awei.

Seeing Uncle Jiu arguing with him again, Awei became even more angry and embarrassed.

When he saw Uncle Jiu's nails, he became surprisingly smart and his mind worked very fast.

In an instant, Awei showed a sneering expression.

Seeing Awei's expression and his own nails, Uncle Jiu also reacted and said to himself, "Oh no!"

But it was too late.

Ah Wei grabbed Uncle Jiu's hand as it was about to retract, and said with a wicked grin, "Ahaha... You said Master Ren was killed by his fingernails. Only someone with long fingernails could do that."

Holding Uncle Jiu's hand tightly, not letting him withdraw, Awei looked around and said, "Fellow villagers, does anyone have fingernails longer than his?"

Awei didn't want to be treated as a fool, and he also felt that what Uncle Jiu said about Ren Fa being killed by his fingernails made sense.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Uncle Jiu or not, he planned to investigate and vent his anger first.

The people standing here are all wealthy local gentry. They are the type who do nothing but do nothing, so naturally they all have long fingernails.

Upon hearing this, everyone who dared to admit that their fingernails were longer than Uncle Jiu's fell silent.

Master Ren is dead, and now Awei in Renjia Town is second only to the mayor in power, and no one dares to offend him.

"You can't wrongly accuse a good person!" Uncle Jiu didn't expect things to turn out like this, and that he would eventually become a suspect.

"I won't wrongly accuse a good person. You have the longest fingernails in Renjia Town, so you are the most suspicious."

"If it's you, just accompany me back to the government office and we'll know." After saying that, A Wei shouted coldly, "Come here, arrest him."

After saying that, the security team took Uncle Jiu under control.

At this time, Qiu Sheng and Wencai, who had returned to the charity cemetery to see the deceased, ran back panting.

The two of them were running so fast that they didn't even notice that Uncle Jiu was being held by the security team. They said to each other, "Master, the coffin is broken apart."

"The body is gone."

After saying this, I realized that Uncle Jiu was wrong: "Master..."

"He's arrested!" Awei said proudly.

Upon hearing that their master had been arrested, Qiu Sheng and Wencai reacted equally strongly.

The two men approached Awei quickly like angry bulls. Even though Awei was the security captain, he planned to resist.

To be honest, the identity of the security captain is nothing in the eyes of these monks. If they want to deal with him, there are plenty of ways to do it.

"Don't do it!" Uncle Jiu stopped Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Uncle Jiu is a Taoist master who has always adhered to the principle of not using magic on ordinary people. He also has this requirement for his disciples.

He is not pedantic, but he has a bottom line in his actions. He will not use magic until Awei does something more extreme.

Uncle Jiu stopped them, and Qiu Sheng and Wencai finally calmed down.

Uncle Jiu pondered, as if he had expected this, and turned to A Wei and said, "Can I have a few words with my disciple before I leave?"

"Don't say I'm inhumane. Say what you want to say quickly."

After greeting Wencai and Qiu Sheng, the three masters and apprentices walked to a corner.

"Have you looked everywhere?" Uncle Jiu looked at Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Qiu Sheng shook his head, and Wen Cai said, "I've looked everywhere and opened all the coffins, but I can't find it."

"Something's going to happen tonight. Two zombies are going to appear."

"If Master Ren is killed by a zombie, he will also become a zombie."

"Qiu Sheng, bring all your weapons and come to the yamen to see me tonight. Wen Cai, go back and prepare your weapons and come back here to protect Tingting. If Old Master Ren turns into a zombie, the first people he'll kill are those related to him by blood."

"Master Ren was killed, and Tingting will be next."

The three of them nodded, and Uncle Jiu was quickly taken away.

"Qiu Sheng, remember to bring glutinous rice!" Uncle Jiu told Qiu Sheng before leaving.

"Tingting, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. Even if Master Ren were still alive, he wouldn't want to see you so sad for him."

Yunque walked closer to Tingting and whispered comfort to her.

Tingting just nodded when she heard that. Her eyes were red because she was too sad, which made her look indescribably pitiful.

"Sister Skylark, can you stay with me? I'm a little scared."

Tingting said to Yunque with tears in her eyes.

Yun Que glanced at Ren Tingting, feeling somewhat reluctant, and hugged Tingting in her arms. Tingting hugged Yun Que, tears falling silently.

After Wencai and Qiu Sheng returned to the charity cemetery and Awei and others left, Yunque carried the heartbroken Tingting back to her room.

After carrying Tingting to bed and covering her with a blanket, Yunque was about to leave, but Tingting grabbed his hand.

"Sister Yunque, don't go. I'm scared. Can you stay with me?" Tingting's little face was full of fear.

Hibari sighed, nodded, lifted the quilt and crawled in.

"Tingting, go to sleep quickly. I'm here. Nothing will happen."
