"Professor Li?" Luo Shu exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to a seminar and won't be back until tomorrow? "

It was a middle-aged man with a refined temperament wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He bitterly smiled and said, "I just left not too long ago and so many things have happened to my favorite students. Of course I have to come back early."

"Oh, Luo Shu, are you Professor Li Lirin's student?" The policeman at the side widened his eyes, "We specially invited the professor to assist us in our research. It's really hard to believe, earthworms actually come out of skeletons … "

Beside Professor Li Lirin was a glass case containing several thick black earthworms. They were slowly wiggling, which made Luo Shu feel disgusted.

"These earthworms drilled out from the green skeleton this morning." The policeman said with some lingering fear, "This earthworm is as thick as a thumb and more than ten centimeters long. We didn't dare touch them with our hands, so we just picked them up with the iron clamps and put them in the glass case. "

"Thankfully you guys are smart, and so you didn't use your hands to directly touch them." Professor Li said solemnly, "Look."

He opened a box he had brought with him and dropped a mouse into the glass case.

At first, the little white mouse didn't even realize that it was in prison. It squeaked as it scuttled back and forth in the glass box. The earthworms suddenly began to move quickly, wrapping themselves around the little white mouse's body.

"Zi zi!" Suddenly, white smoke emitted from the glass box. Amidst the smoke, the little white mouse let out a miserable cry.

"What happened to the little white mouse?" The smoke was so thick that he could not see what was going on inside.

"Don't be anxious, let's wait first." Professor Li said.

Half a minute later, the smoke cleared and a white rat's skeleton lay alone in the glass case. As for those earthworms, they resumed their tortoise like squirming speed. One of them was even lying down quietly, not moving at all, as if it was dead.

"I guess it was this new type of earthworm that took Yi Yi's life." He threw a few more leaves into the glass case. Very soon, the white smoke appeared again. After the smoke dissipated, the poor leaves were almost completely gone, only leaving behind a few meridians.

"What the hell is this? Why do you eat everything? " Luo Shu clenched his fists, "Did they really kill Sister Yi? Where did this damn thing come from? "Why would it appear in Sister Yi's rented apartment?"

"But earthworms, after all, lack sharp teeth, and they may not be able to do anything to hard bones. "So, Yi Yi became a skeleton." Professor Li speculated.

"Professor, this means that the victim was killed by this earthworm?" the policeman asked timidly.

"Yes, and no." Professor Li adjusted his glasses, "The one who killed He Yi is this earthworm, but this black earthworm that has never been seen before won't appear out of nowhere. Even if they were to appear, they should be in the soil, not in my students' quarters. "From this, it can be seen that someone with ulterior motives must have discovered the characteristics of this earthworm and used it to kill Hoyt."

"Teacher, there is another question." Luo Shu said, "Sister Yi's corpse has fine green hair growing on it …"

"Perhaps, this is the metabolite of the earthworm." Professor Li was noncommittal. "What we need to do now is follow this lead and investigate further. Catch the murderer as soon as possible and comfort Yi Yi's soul in heaven. "Oh right, I heard that something happened to Zhou Hang …"

"The news spread so quickly." Luo Shu sighed heavily.

"Let's go see Zhou Hang together." Professor Li lightly patted Luo Shuo's shoulder.

In the ward, Zhou Hang had already woken up. However, his face was still pale. Lu Xiang was lying on the bed beside him, happily snoring.

Luo Shu didn't wake Lu Xiang up. He told Zhou Hang about the black earthworm.

"It must be that Hu Duanyi!" As soon as Zhou Hang got excited, a hint of blood actually appeared on his face, "It must be him!" He must have spent a lot of money to create such a monster! "

"Damn it!" Luo Shu was gnashing his teeth in hatred, "No matter who the murderer is, as long as I catch him, I will definitely feed him to the earthworms!"

"Luo Shu, I think you've worked hard for an entire night." Professor Li said affectionately, "I'll watch over this place. You can go back and rest first."

"Teacher, I'm fine." As soon as Luo Shu finished his sentence, he let out a big yawn.

"Go quickly!" A warm smile appeared on Professor Li's face.

After Luo Shu left, Professor Li lightly closed the door. He slowly walked to Lu Xiang's side, looked at his face, and used his hands to push him. He smiled. "You really sleep like a dead pig."

"Teacher, what should I do?" Zhou Hang grabbed Professor Li's hand like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood, "Yi Yi died so miserably. The moment I got the DNA test report, I almost couldn't believe my eyes. The beautiful and kind Yi Yi was now a skeleton with green fur! I am useless, I cannot avenge her. "

"So you took it lightly?" Professor Li suddenly turned serious, "Zhou Hang, you have really disappointed me." Aren't the police actively trying to crack the case? Now, wasn't there the clue to the earthworm? If you die, you will never see the day when the murderer goes to bed! "

"Seeing how crafty that Hu Duanyi is, will he plead guilty obediently?" Zhou Hang decided he was the murderer. "Besides, he's so rich, so he might as well hire a top lawyer …"

"As long as we are sure that he is the murderer," Professor Li's eyes shone with a resolute light, "For Yi, I will risk my life to not let him get away with it!"

Luo Shu would never have dreamed that he would actually hit the nail on the head!

On the day that Hu Duanyi returned to Jianghai City, he had turned into a skeleton in his limousine! According to eyewitnesses, not long after the car had stopped by the roadside, an inexplicable white smoke began to emit from the window. Some people thought it was a fire, so they called the police.

The police arrived, but no one dared to touch the skeleton with their bare hands. They moved the skeleton away using an iron rack – they were all very afraid that fat black earthworms would suddenly emerge from the skeleton and devour their flesh and blood.

Hu Duanyi's skeleton was placed next to He Yi's corpse. These two skeletons, one was completely covered in green hair, and the other was dark and gloomy. These skeletons were enough to make a normal person's hair stand on end. A few hours ago, a few black earthworms drilled out of Hu Duanyi's bones and were caught by them. They were placed together with the earthworms that were caught last time. These earthworms would become the material of Professor Li's research.

This incident caused Luo Shu to be filled with mixed feelings. Dozens of hours ago, he kept hearing his own words under extreme anger, "No matter who the murderer is, as long as I catch him, I will definitely feed him to the earthworms!"

Lu Xiang was also aware of this matter. The doubt in his mind grew — Hu Duanyi had been fed the earthworm, but this also explained one thing: He was not the killer of He Yi. There was another culprit! However, why would this murderer use the same method to kill Hu Duanyi? Wouldn't it be great if he just directly made Hu Duanji take the blame? Also, although the technique was the same, why didn't there be any green hair growing on Hu Duanyi's body?
