The five of them went downstairs to check on the situation. Blood splattered out from the pool of blood. The entire courtyard looked like it had just been washed in blood. The walls and floor were covered in blood.
Si Yu turned to look at Xiao Nan and asked, "Where's Lin Hao?"
"Him?" Xiao Nan was stunned. "I don't know. I was too tired yesterday and slept until now."
After saying that, Xiao Nan subconsciously looked around the courtyard. At this time, other than the five of them, there was no trace of Lin Hao.
The sky was gloomy and the wind was blowing.
Xiao Nan shivered. In the supernatural world, once someone disappeared or disappeared, it meant that the person was dead. "This blood is his?"
Si Yu didn't answer his question. He turned to look at Gu Xizhou. Gu Xizhou was staring at the blood on the ground with a thoughtful expression. He asked Gu Xizhou what he found.
Gu Xizhou pointed at the blood splattered on the ground and said, "The blood splattered about two meters away. If this blood is Lin Hao's, then his head must have been chopped off by something. Only a ruptured carotid artery would cause such an exaggerated amount of blood."
"Chopped off …" Hearing Gu Xizhou's analysis, Xiao Nan and Yu Yizhou were surprised. "You seem to know a lot about this …"
Gu Xizhou answered casually but didn't say that he was a criminal police officer.
On the way out of the demolition office.
Gu Xizhou squinted his eyes and looked at the information about Xu San Er that he found in the demolition office.
Xu San Er had a name, Xu Hao. He was the third child in his family. Before his parents died, the Xu family split up. Xu Hao received some money from his parents and squandered it. Not long after, he became penniless and stayed at his parents' house. After his parents died, he lost his support. However, this person still didn't do his job properly and kept stealing from his old neighbors' houses.
After Gu Xizhou finished reading the information, he naturally passed the information to Si Yu. "Take a look. I've already looked through it. It doesn't seem to be anything useful."
"Okay. Let's find Xu San Er first."
"That's the only way," Gu Xizhou said.
Xiao Nan's face didn't look good. Because of Lin Hao's sudden death, he fell into a state of fear.
Instead, the newcomer Yu Yizhou patted Xiao Nan's shoulder as if he wanted to comfort him.. "Actually, entering the mission world is a good thing from another perspective...."
"Good thing?"
Yu Yizhou nodded and said seriously, "Before I came here, I was lying in a hospital bed. I was a person who was given the death penalty by the doctor. Coming here means that my life is coming to an end. But this mission world gave me a chance. No matter if I can leave here alive or not, I will be healthy and live for a few more days with my arms and legs."

. "Gu Xizhou glanced at him and said," Without this mission world, you would've died in the car accident. Who cares if you're successful or not? "
Xiao Nan's anger was extinguished. As the only survivor of the car accident, if he wasn't pulled into the mission world, he would've died like everyone else.
Xiao Nan sighed. "That's true. A salary of a million can't buy time."
When Gu Xizhou heard this, he almost vomited blood. He really wasn't envious. Gu Xizhou felt stifled as he thought of his meager salary. Then, he silently looked at Si Yu.
"Why are you looking at me?" Si Yu raised his chin and asked.
"I'm looking at the rich and pitiful people trying to survive like me. I'm trying to balance my emotions."
Si Yu ignored his blabbering. "Xiao Nan said something right. Money can't buy time. Everyone is equal in the face of death."
"What if you're not human?" Gu Xizhou asked with a smile.
Si Yu heard Gu Xizhou's words and was silent for a while. He looked deeply at Gu Xizhou and seemed to have thought of something. However, he didn't answer Gu Xizhou's question.
Gu Xizhou suddenly realized a problem. He looked at Si Yu and asked softly, "Si Yu, what's the cause of your death?"
Gu Xizhou should've been smashed to death like the two fugitives. Fang Zhi should've died because of that case. If the child at the police station hadn't been there, that woman would've run Fang Zhi over with her car. Gu Xizhou realized that he still didn't know what Si Yu's death was.
"I'm not telling you," Si Yu said. Then he changed the topic. "We've arrived at Xu Hao's house."
Gu Xizhou heard Si Yu's answer and didn't continue asking.
It was eight o 'clock in the morning, and all the doors were still closed. They walked to the entrance of Xu Hao's dilapidated courtyard. One of the rooms had already collapsed, and they could even see the tables and chairs in the room.
They knocked on the door for a long time. After a long time, Xu Hao walked out in a pair of worn-out slippers. He yawned and said, "Who is it?"
"Hello," Gu Xizhou said.
"Oh, it's the people from the demolition office! Why have you come to my house so early? " Xu Hao immediately recognized Gu Xizhou and the others as the people from the demolition office. He reached out to open the door and glanced at Gu Xizhou and the others.
"We would like to ask you some questions. Could you please …"
When Xu Hao heard Gu Xizhou's words, his shifty eyes darted around as he said, "You're asking me something? Sure, but I haven't had breakfast yet. There are many things that I can't remember clearly. "
As he spoke, Xu Hao's stomach rumbled as though it was responding to Xu Hao's words. "Listen, I haven't eaten for a few days. My brain isn't working well."
Si Yu took out his wallet and took out a few hundred-dollar bills. He handed them to Xu Hao. "How about now?"
"I feel much better. Tell me, what do you want to ask me?" Xu Hao chuckled.
"You know about Old Madam He's disappearance, right?" Si Yu asked.
"Old Madam He … I know. Why?"
"Did you see her on the day she went missing?"
"Why are you looking for her? Didn't she go missing? "
"You just have to answer me. Have you seen her?"
Xu Hao immediately shook his head and said firmly, "No, I haven't!"
"Think about it carefully."
"I really haven't seen her! I went to my brother's house for dinner that day! By the way, why are you asking me? "
They mentioned that Wang Chunjiao had told them yesterday that Xu Hao would occasionally steal from vegetable stalls and butcher shops in the afternoon. Xu Hao explained awkwardly, "That was in the past. I haven't stolen anything now. The demolition office doesn't have anything to do with stealing, right?"
They looked at each other. This person was obviously lying through his teeth. They had seen him steal things yesterday.
Gu Xizhou said, "We don't care about that. We only care about demolition."
Xu Hao heaved a sigh of relief. He took the money and went straight out.
"If you have money, go out and have fun. If you don't, sleep in a kennel at home. Hehe." Xiao Nan looked at Xu Hao with disdain. There were many people like him in real life. Xiao Nan obviously looked down on people like him.
"Let's go with him." Gu Xizhou looked back at Xu Hao's house and said to the others.
Xiao Nan's gaze also fell on Xu Hao's open door. Xu Hao's house was bare. All the money he had was the money Si Yu had just given him. Therefore, he didn't care at all and had no intention of locking the door.
They followed him all the way. It was already nine o 'clock. Gu Xizhou saw the butcher shop's door open from afar.
"Ah — —"
Xu Hao stood in front of the butcher shop's door and suddenly fell to the ground. Then, Gu Xizhou and the others smelled the stench of urine.
"F * ck, it's you again. Are you crazy?" The butcher waved the butcher knife in his hand at Xu Hao impatiently. He raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Haven't you seen a human butcher a pig? Get lost. "
Xu Hao's legs went weak. He was obviously afraid of the butcher. He shook his head in panic and explained, "I, I'll get lost immediately."
Under Xu Hao's subtle reaction, Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked at each other and caught the same thought in each other's eyes.
There was a headless pig in front of the butcher shop. There was a piece of plastic on the ground. The butcher cut the pig into pieces and hung them on a hook. At the same time, he placed the pig's head on the chopping board. The pig's front and back hooves were placed on a plate. When he cut the meat, he kicked the bones off. It was obvious that the butcher was very familiar with the structure of a pig's body. It didn't take him much effort to cut the pig into pieces and hang them neatly on a metal hook.
The butcher glared at Xu Hao, who was sitting on the ground with weak legs. "Get lost. Do you want me to cut off your fingers?"
Xu Hao nodded with a frightened expression. He hurriedly stood up from the ground. His whole body was trembling and he shrunk his head back in fear.
At this moment, Gu Xizhou and the others realized that Xu Hao might have seen something. They followed behind Xu Hao and whispered a few words as they walked.
Yu Yizhou asked curiously, "What did he see when he was walking in front? … Why is he so scared? "
Gu Xizhou spread his hands. "How would I know?"
Before Gu Xizhou and the others could ask, they had just left the butcher shop when Xu Hao looked at them with a pale face. He said nervously, "You all saw it, right? You all saw it, right? "
Xiao Nan: "What?"
"He killed someone! He killed someone! "Xu Hao's voice trembled." Will he kill me? Kill us? "
"Us?" Yu Yizhou revealed a trace of doubt and repeated Xu Hao's words. But they didn't see anyone just now.
Xu Hao leaned against the wall. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and he felt a chill down his spine. "Didn't you all see it? He just cut off that person's flesh and hung it on a hook in front of us! "
At this moment, Gu Xizhou and the others understood that Xu Hao had seen something different from what they had seen. Fang Zhi imagined the butcher cutting up Lin Hao's body and hanging it on a metal hook. Suddenly, his whole body trembled.
At the same time, they realized the seriousness of the problem.
"What did you see? Who was that person? "
Xu Hao stood up and stuttered, "I … I think it was someone from the demolition office … You, you … didn't recognize it?"
According to Xu Hao's description, the butcher didn't cut up a dead pig in front of them. It was Lin Hao's body.
The surrounding air froze. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Si Yu said, "But what we saw wasn't a person. It was a dead pig."
"Dead pig? No, no! That was a person, a person! " Xu Hao became agitated. He suddenly cried in fear. "It was really a person. I saw it. That head … That head, he looked at me …"
