Chapter 229 Caught
Li Zhi knew clearly that this thing could evade the surveillance of the yamen runners for several days and even avoid Cheng Fengzi's nose which was as sharp as a hound's. Regardless of its strength, one thing was certain, that is, it must be extremely cautious.
If you want to find this highly vigilant being, you must not act rashly. Once you alarm it, it will be even more difficult to find it again.
Therefore, Li Zhi did not wander around the village like a madman looking for clues, but directly sent his mosquito demon to find out the situation. He hid in a secluded dark place and patiently waited for the mosquito demon's feedback.
Just as the night was getting darker and darker, as if a piece of black silk was gradually wrapping the entire village tightly.
Li Zhi's group of diligent mosquito demons finally discovered something unusual.
A dark figure pounced on a working ox very quickly. The figure was much smaller than the body of the working ox. However, the throat of the working ox was bitten off by it in one bite, and the strong working ox collapsed to the ground.
The figure immediately lay down on the body of the ox and started to eat it in big mouthfuls as if he was extremely hungry.
Seeing that the culprit finally appeared, Li Zhi was cheered up and he immediately rushed over there quietly.
When Li Zhi came over here cautiously.
In the faint moonlight, I saw a pitch-black body lying on the ground, gnawing on a freshly dead ox with relish. The scene was a bit weird.
In the quiet night, the very slight chewing sound was not very noticeable. It was obvious that it was very cautious and even deliberately did not make any sound when chewing.
That guy was indeed very alert. Li Zhicai just got a little closer and was noticed by it instantly.
The guy reacted extremely quickly. With a "whoosh", he ran away at an astonishing speed. He ran a long distance away in the blink of an eye.
But after finally meeting the real owner, how could Li Zhi let it escape so easily? He immediately exerted force on his feet and rushed forward. At the same time, the Qi in his body began to circulate silently.
The next moment, a gust of cold wind blew up, and five hideous-looking ghosts suddenly appeared out of thin air on the path that guy had to take to escape, baring their fangs and claws, and making waves of sinister roars.
The guy who was running away suddenly stopped, as if he was frightened by the sudden appearance of the five little ghosts, and his fleeing steps couldn't help but stop.
Seeing this opportunity, Li Zhi naturally would not let it go. He rushed forward, stretched out his hands, and pressed the guy to the ground with extremely fast speed.
But when Li Zhi finally saw the guy's appearance clearly in the moonlight, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he really never expected that the person eating livestock in the village in the middle of the night would be a child!
The child was dirty all over, as if he had not washed for a long time. His clothes were tattered and covered with dust and stains.
Originally, when he saw the five ferocious-looking little ghosts suddenly appear, his face was instantly filled with fear. His little face turned pale with fright, and his eyes were wide open, full of fear and panic.
However, at the moment when Li Zhi suddenly pressed him to the ground, his expression suddenly changed. The fear just now disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a ferocious look.
He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to eat Li Zhi alive, and bit Li Zhi directly.
Li Zhi then noticed that the upper and lower rows of teeth in his mouth were completely different from those of ordinary people. Those teeth were extremely sharp, just like the sharp teeth of wild animals, shining coldly under the dim moonlight, revealing a ferocious aura that made people shudder.
Seeing him biting so ferociously, Li Zhi would certainly not give him a good look. He slapped him hard in the face without hesitation.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the child's head was hit to one side, and a red palm print immediately appeared on his face.
Li Zhi then opened his throat and shouted, "Uncle Cheng!"
The shout echoed in the silent night sky and spread far away.
Hearing the sound, Fengzi Cheng ran towards Li Zhi without saying anything. His footsteps were so fast that they made a slight sound of wind, and he arrived in front of him in a short time.
When Cheng Fengzi saw the child being pinned to the ground by Li Zhi, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. He narrowed his eyes slightly, squatted down, and looked at the child carefully.
But after taking a closer look, he didn't detect even the slightest trace of monster-like aura from the child, which was really strange.
At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in a house in the distance. The dim light was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, illuminating a small area around it. Then, there was a rustling sound in the house, as if someone was walking hurriedly in the house.
After a while, a family hurried out of the house. They were a couple, both of whom looked anxious and flustered. Under the dim moonlight, they hurriedly trotted towards Li Zhi and his group.
When they saw the child that Li Zhi had restrained, they both knelt on the ground. The man looked guilty and pleading, and said with a trembling voice: "Please let my child go, sir. It's all our fault as parents. We apologize on his behalf..."
The woman next to her also nodded repeatedly, her eyes already filled with tears, which kept sliding down her cheeks. She looked extremely pitiful.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Cheng Fengzi. A hint of doubt flashed in both of their eyes. Their minds were full of questions, and they didn't understand what was going on.
"What's going on? You'd better explain it to us." Cheng Fengzi frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the couple and the held down child, his tone sounding serious and puzzled.
Hearing Cheng Fengzi's question, the man's face suddenly showed a look of confusion, his lips trembled slightly, as if there was something unspeakable stuck in his throat. He wanted to say it but didn't know where to start, and his eyes were full of hesitation and struggle.
Seeing this, Li Zhi said in a serious tone, "If you don't explain clearly, we will have to take this kid back for interrogation according to the rules. He will have to endure all kinds of torture when the time comes."
When the woman heard this, her face turned pale, and she kowtowed to Li Zhi repeatedly, crying, "Sir, please let my child go, he is still young, please..."
She cried and kowtowed continuously, her forehead hitting the ground with a "dong dong" sound, her eyes were full of despair and pleading.
Her husband was also panic-stricken and at a loss, and pleaded with Li Zhihe and Cheng Fengzi helplessly.
Seeing their pitiful appearance, Cheng Fengzi's originally stern expression loosened slightly, and he seemed to be a little soft-hearted. He sighed lightly, and said in a slower tone: "If you don't want us to arrest him, then you should tell us the truth!"
At this time, the woman next to him gently tugged at the man's clothes, and said in a trembling voice: "Let's tell them..."
The man seemed to have made a great decision after hearing this. He gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll tell you..."
