Chapter 1863: Eccentric Old Man

According to Ding Fan's idea, as long as the identity of the victim is determined, the next step is to investigate his social relationships.

After all, this kind of killing method is really cruel enough, not to mention arson, not to mention burning, and even using toxic chemical products, can use such cruel methods, I am afraid that there is also some hatred between these two people.

Otherwise, Ding Fan really couldn't think of any other possibility, but there was no guarantee of absoluteness, maybe there were some unclear reasons in it.

It's just that at this stage, Ding Fan really doesn't want that possibility, there is really another possibility, and I'm afraid things will get out of control.

Zhu Zhenyu had already gone out to call the school, and Ding Fan was also going to leave, but as soon as he went out on the front foot, he happened to meet Captain Luo coming back from outside, holding a sloppy Taoist in a Taoist robe.

He didn't think much about it, said hello to Captain Luo, and was in a hurry to go out to run errands.

Unexpectedly, when this old Taoist priest saw him, he broke free from Captain Luo's control, and rushed to Ding Fan with an arrow step, looking at Ding Fan in surprise, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and the look on his face was almost like an old rascal.

Captain Luo really didn't expect that this sloppy old man would have so much strength, and with a wave of his hand, he would be able to break free from his control, and at this moment he actually rushed in front of Ding Fan.

He has already seen Ding Fan's skills, cleaning up three or five little rascals is just a game, when he was in the shipyard before, those people were packed up by him like grandsons, and an old man should not be dangerous to him.

What he was really worried about was actually this old man, for fear that Ding Fan would subconsciously make a move and beat this old man to half death, then this matter would be a bit of a big problem, after all, this old man didn't look very tough.

This old man has no flesh on his body, it looks like there are only bones left in his body, he has to walk with his body bent, he is old, he still has long hair, he has a bun on his head, and his face is even more dry without a little oil, and it looks like a skeleton has a layer of skin hanging on it.

His eyes were dim and he followed Captain Luo all the way, and his eyes were shining at this time, but his eyes, not to mention that Ding Fan looked uncomfortable, that is, he had the idea of pushing people away when he saw it.

"In the year of establishment, dressed in brocade clothes, the spirit is magnificent, the spirit platform is red and bright, the young man is ambitious, and he looks rich and noble!" The sloppy old man said as he stretched out his hand and rubbed it in front of his eyes, as if he was afraid that he had seen it wrong.

But after rubbing his eyes, he was followed by a look of surprise, and hurriedly took two steps back: "The bridge of the nose is knotted, the lips are rosy, the eyebrows are shiny and oily, and the mandarin duck eyes are ...... The fate of the general!"

As he spoke, the sloppy old man bowed down on his knees.

Ding Fan frowned a little when he heard what he said before, but this sudden kneeling was really a bit of a kneel that he didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly dodged two steps back.

Although this old man was a bit chattering, he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, almost the same age as his grandfather.

really received such a bowing ceremony, Ding Fan himself was a little afraid of losing his life!

"Wuqu, breaking the army in the Sihai Palace, a rare life for a thousand years, breaking the same palace, Wuqu is strong, breaking the army rushing, the two are in the same palace, so the spirit is empty Although it is strong and decisive, it is easy to be frustrated!"

Before Ding Fan could understand, the old man suddenly said something that people couldn't understand.

Not to mention that Ding Fan was quite stunned, even the police officers in these offices were also stunned, no one knew what the old man was talking about, and Wen Xianxuan didn't understand it at all.

Fortunately, Captain Luo reacted in advance, secretly stood beside Ding Fan, and whispered: "This person is the old man who said at the scene of the crime before that he saw the doorway, I found it under the Xiyuan Bridge, Xiao Zhu said that you are looking for this person." ”

It was indeed Ding Fan who proposed to find out this old Taoist before, but when he saw someone now, he regretted it a little, swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, stretched out his finger and said, "Should you help people up?"

"Whether it's a liar or not, after all, at such an old age, I'm afraid that he will kneel down like this and kneel for me!"

Captain Luo slapped him on the head, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the old man up, and then called someone to send him to the interrogation room.

was made a fuss by this old man, and Ding Fan almost forgot that he had something to find Captain Luo just now.

Local matters, a foreign police officer wants to investigate, after all, it is still a bit difficult, at least what kind of people to find, or need the help of an old police officer like Captain Luo to get twice the result with half the effort.

The matter was handed over to him to help investigate, and then Ding Fan walked directly to the interrogation room.

As soon as the front foot entered the door, the old man sitting inside spoke first: "I knew you would definitely come to see me, because I was right, didn't I?"

"The face of a person is not just for people to see, all the luck in your life is on it, even if it is a mole, it does not grow out for no reason, there must be a root. ”

Ding Fan ignored him, walked directly to the side and sat down, looked at him without saying a word, and asked for a long time, "Do you know who I am?"

The old man chuckled lightly, and said with a proud face: "Young age, official position is not low, and it will not be too far from being above 10,000 people under that person." ”

This bull is a bit of a big blow, but it's not wrong, after all, Ding Fan's current position is indeed not low, if he wants, he can take over Mr. Lei's position at any time.

It's really not far from the so-called one person below ten thousand people.

However, Ding Fan still felt that he was a liar, but he didn't see through where he saw it from.

Before coming in, Ding Fan deliberately checked the documents on his body and found that these things had not been touched, that is to say, this old man may really have some means.

"I don't want to know how you know this, in fact, it doesn't matter to me!" Ding Fan was indeed a little impressed by the old man's methods, but it was not important to him, he took out the photos taken at the scene before and put them in front of him and said: "Fortune tellers have a bit of ability, although I don't say that I believe it all, but I won't deny it completely, I am only interested in the truth behind the case, instead of working me, you might as well help me find this person, find him, how much do you want!"

In fact, Ding Fan doesn't mind this kind of thing that is a bit feudal and superstitious, in fact, as long as he can find clues related to this case, he doesn't mind going around in circles with him.

As long as the clues are authentic and reliable, it doesn't matter if you spend a little money.

I'm afraid that this old man doesn't know anything, and wants to pretend to be a ghost, then this money is not so easy to earn.

Seeing the photo Ding Fan put in front of him, the old man's face suddenly became a little ugly.

It's not because of anything else, it's mainly that he's seen this photo before, and the last time it wasn't on the photo, but the real scene.

At that time, he told the police officer who was handling the case at the scene that he might be able to help a little in this matter, but the police at that time didn't seem to find anything useful at the scene, and he was not in a very good mood at that time, so he was unwilling to take care of him at all.

As for what he knew later, he also thought about telling people, but no one believed what he said.

I really didn't expect that Ding Fan would ask about this matter today, instead of asking him about his own life, which made him a little surprised.

"What do you want to know?" The old man still sat on the side with the appearance of an old god, looking at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart, and sat on the side with a solemn expression.

"Three things, the first is the identity of the deceased, and the second is what is this figure on the ground?" Ding Fan was not polite, now he wanted to know these two things most, and of course he did not forget the most important point: "Third...... Who is the murderer, of course, I don't think you know, I can find a way for this murderer. ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't figure out your identity, because right now I want to know what this figure is!"

"If you can't answer any of the three questions, then I really have to wonder if you're a liar!"

Of the three questions raised by Ding Fan, it seems that two of them are not answers that ordinary people can answer.

But he also left a way to live, that is, the figure on the ground, although it is no longer clear in the photograph, but the old man was at the scene at the time, and he may not be able to see anything at that time.

Even if he knew about this problem, in fact, Ding Fan didn't care about letting him go.

After all, the grade is not small, even if he is swaggering outside, in fact, he just wants to make a living, if it is not necessary, Ding Fan does not want to send him in, after all, life inside is not easy!

"Take a pen and paper!" The old man frowned, hesitated with a strange expression, stretched out his hand and said, "I know you don't believe me, but soon you will know how powerful the Taoist master is!"

Ding Fan put the pen and paper in front of him, did not say that he believed him, nor did he completely say that he did not believe it, whether he succeeded or failed actually depends on what he saw at the beginning.

The two of them know it, but neither of them wants to break it!

The old Taoist priest picked up the pen on the table, slowly closed his eyes, and pretended not to know what was muttering in his mouth, but his wrist was flexible and slowly beating on the paper.

Soon the figure on the paper was drawn, but this figure was completely different from what Ding Fan had speculated before.

This figure is not a totem or flag of any sect, but a circle with the shape of a crescent in the middle, and a solid black slash at the end like a forbidden symbol, which runs diagonally through the entire crescent.

"Are you serious?" Ding Fan glanced at the things on the paper, frowned at the old man, twitched the corners of his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"Don't tell me, it's a sign, forbidding the moon to travel?"

When the old man heard Ding Fan's explanation, he smiled first, and then put on an unfathomable look, shook his head and said: "These are the three magic of the Eastern Wa Kingdom, do the onmyoji know it, the onmyoji over there has great respect for these three things, what is this crescent moon called dog jade, and this big circle seems to be a mirror, this slash actually represents a sword, do the three major artifacts know what to do?"

"Legend has it that the three artifacts appeared, and they were only used when they sealed a monster, so this rune may represent some kind of seal, and the person who was burned alive on it should be just a sacrifice. ”

What the old man said was the Tao, but Ding Fan found something that was inadvertently revealed in his words, his eyes lit up, and his eyes glared at him coldly and asked, "How do you know that he was burned alive, can't it be a crematory?"

The old man was still a little flustered at first, but he quickly calmed down, smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand and stroked his goatee and chuckled: "Impossible, the sacrifice can only be done with living creatures, it is impossible to use dead people to do this kind of thing, and there is no need to go through a lot of trouble to burn corpses!"
