Chapter 63 Original Intention

I was so frightened that I immediately turned around and kicked Li Mazi, pushing him aside.

But that ghost-head knife made a solid cut on my leg!

I suddenly gasped in pain and stepped back in fear.

The red shadow was wearing a loose ancient execution suit, with an empty neck and no head. He was tall and tall, holding a heavy ghost head sword in his hand, and he was approaching me step by step.

I was terrified. The headless executioner really came out of an ancient painting? This scene is really appalling.

I took out the emperor's whip from my waist and whipped it hard towards the headless executioner. The headless executioner had no eyes, but he seemed to be able to see my every move and easily dodged my attacks.

Then he suddenly jumped up and struck my head with the Ghost Head Sword again.

This strength and speed are far beyond those of normal people. My fear reached its peak in an instant, because I couldn't even retreat at this moment. I only had the Emperor's Whip in my hand, but it seemed that the Emperor's Whip had no effect on him.

The ghost head knife reflected the moonlight and pierced my eyes, making me unable to open my eyes. I thought for a while that I was about to be decapitated.

However, as time went by, Li Mazi finally came to his senses. He roared and hugged the headless executioner from behind, then pressed him tightly under him, and smashed his fist down without hesitation.

Li Mazi was okay against living people, but against immortals in paintings, his methods were simply not enough.

The headless executioner quickly threw Li Mazi aside!

However, Li Mazi bought me precious time, and the emperor's whip quickly wrapped around the headless executioner's leg. I pulled hard, but the other party lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

I rode up again, hugged his arm and bit him hard.

I used all my strength to take this bite. It felt like I could have bitten off a piece of meat if there were no outer clothes blocking it.

What I never expected was that the headless executioner actually let out a scream, and the sound was somewhat familiar to me. But I didn't have time to think too much, so I grabbed the ghost head knife that he threw on the ground and stabbed him hard in the arm.

The broadsword was used for stabbing, but the effect was not great, but it still opened a gash on his arm. The guy fell to the ground, rolling over and over and shouting, while I held the ghost head knife and sat down next to Li Mazi, panting.

Li Mazi looked at me blankly: "Brother Zhang, do you think this voice is familiar?"

I cursed: "I know your sister well, hurry up and save Yin Xinyue, I'll help you hold this thing down."

Li Mazi glanced at my blood-stained thigh, with a horrified look on his face: "But your wound..."

It was okay not to remind him, but when he reminded me like this, I suddenly felt the heartbreaking pain of the wound. Damn Li Mazi, he really doesn’t like to pick up any pot.

I cursed, "I want you to take care of it," and then pushed Li Mazi aside. I gritted my teeth and stood up little by little, holding on to the big tree, ready to go up and kill the headless executioner.

But before I walked over, a head gradually grew out of the broken neck of the headless executioner.

This weird scene scared me to the point where my legs cramped, but when I saw the other person’s appearance clearly, I was dumbfounded.

That head actually belonged to Li Yuntian.

Yes, it is indeed Li Yuntian's! He was panting in pain and muttering: "Don't... don't do it, it's me."

Li Mazi screamed: "Let me tell you, this voice is a bit familiar to me."

I cursed hard: "It's you? Officer Li."

Li Yuntian trembled, then pretended not to know anything and said, "Hey, why am I here? Could it be that I am possessed by a ghost."

I sneered again and again, it’s already this time, is there any point in pretending anymore?

I asked directly: "Where is Yin Xinyue? Where have you hidden her?"

Li Yuntian said: "What Yin Xinyue? I don't understand."

"Stop pretending." I said bluntly: "Officer Li, you killed Wang Leng, right? Do you want to kill Yin Xinyue too? Because she knew about you."

Li Mazi looked at me dumbfounded, then looked at Li Yuntian, looking confused.

Li Yuntian was stunned for a moment, and finally endured the pain and sat up halfway: "Now that you all know, let me tell you the truth! Wang Leng was not killed by me, but by the evil spirit in the ancient painting. Even this time, I was possessed by the evil spirit in the painting..."

I smiled helplessly: "You are too naive. I won't believe this rhetoric. Where is Yin Xinyue, tell me where she is?"

Before Li Yuntian could speak, a feeble moan suddenly came from above our heads.

I looked up in surprise and used a flashlight to shine.

We found that Yin Xinyue was tied to a big tree, with a rag stuffed in her mouth, and she was looking at us with a painful look on her face.

This bastard! I cursed and wanted to climb up and rescue Yin Xinyue. However, my leg was injured and my movement was very inconvenient, so I had to let Li Mazi do it for me.

I was worried that Li Yuntian would launch a surprise attack on us, so I kept staring at him eagerly.

Li Yuntian knew that the situation had reached an point of no return, but he did not try to escape, because he knew in his heart that even if he ran away, so many of us could catch up with him.

After Yin Xinyue came down, her face was pale, she looked at Li Yuntian with gritted teeth and said, "Let me tell you why Li Yuntian killed Wang Leng! Because by chance, Li Yuntian knew that there was an ancestral tomb in his home, which belonged to the prince of the Tang Dynasty. The grave goods inside were priceless, so he secretly asked Wang Leng to rob the tomb. Haha, you actually collaborated with others to dig up your own ancestral grave. Li Yuntian, you are such a good policeman."

After listening to Yin Xinyue's words, Li Yuntian's face turned blue and purple, and his expression was very embarrassing.

Li Mazi and I were also stunned. Although we knew that Li Yuntian was not a good bird, we never expected that he would even dig his own ancestral graves.

Yin Xinyue continued: "Later, when the two of them were dividing the spoils, Li Yuntian was worried about Wang Leng's share again, so he had the idea of ​​​​killing someone. As for the death of my best friend, it was pure unlucky. I bought a sinister thing and went home. , and this evil thing happened to have a grudge against her ancestors! After the murder, Li Yuntian simply took advantage of the situation and blamed everything on that ancient painting..."

I gasped.

From Li Yuntian's facial expression, I knew what Yin Xinyue said was true.

Li Yuntian smiled sadly and said: "Okay, okay, I'm in trouble today, but do you have evidence? Can you convict me without evidence? Now I will give you a chance. This time the matter ends here, I will give you a hundred How about 10,000 yuan in hush money?"

Li Mazi said righteously: "Do you really think we are short of money? Will you believe your lies? Humph, don't even think about bribing us with money, unless it's 1.5 million."

Li Yuntian gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

My heart froze. I really didn't expect that Li Yuntian was so rich. It seems that he has done similar things a lot.

"On-site online banking transfer, otherwise I won't be able to trust you. If you mess with us, where will we cry?" Li Mazi said.

Li Yuntian laughed loudly: "Quick, I like to deal with cheerful people. However, I can't give you the full amount at once. Online banking transfers have daily quota limits. I can only give you a deposit of 100,000 yuan first, and the rest I will pay you the final payment slowly after it is safe."

"Stop talking nonsense, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand." Li Mazi rolled his eyes at Li Yuntian.

Yin Xinyue couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to scold Li Mazi, but I stopped me and kept winking at her.

One hundred thousand yuan was quickly transferred to Li Mazi. After the transfer, Li Yuntian limped away.

Yin Xinyue was very angry and looked at me with red eyes: "For such a small amount of money, you actually..."

I interrupted her: "Fly legs are also meat, don't use them for free."

As soon as he finished speaking, police sirens blared in the distance. Yin Xinyue was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized: "You guys are really shady."

"How dare you be a merchant of yin products if you are not yin?" I said with a faint smile.

Li Yuntian was arrested and brought to justice, while Yin Xinyue and the disabled little girl became witnesses.

Li Yuntian was quickly convicted: knowing the law and breaking the law will not be punished!

Afterwards, two old people came to my antique store and claimed to be Li Yuntian's parents. This pair of gray-haired old men knelt down when they saw me. They begged me with tears to sell them the ancient paintings and gave me a bank card.

This is the old couple's life savings.

I made a pot of tea and listened to the old couple telling their stories.

The ancestor of their Li family, Prince Yide, cared about the people, but in the end he was framed by corrupt officials because he offended Wu Zetian, and was imprisoned and unjustly killed.

Since then, generations of the Li family have been honest and self-disciplined, and what they hate most is corrupt officials.

This generation is no exception.

Li Yuntian has lived in poverty since he was a child, living a life of hunger and hunger, but he still passed the police academy with tenacious perseverance and achieved today's glory.

And with the pollution of this material society, his dream of becoming a people's policeman has gradually been dyed gray. In the end, I just wanted to make money and get promoted, and finally embarked on this road of no return...

I sighed, money and power are things outside of me, and I won’t take them with me until I die, but there are still people who go through fire and water for me and step into minefields.

In this materialistic society, staying true to one's original intention is the most rare thing, but how many people can truly do it?

I did not accept the bank card, but directly returned the ancient paintings to the two old people.

I hope the younger generations of the Li family can take this as a warning!
