Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Manor
When I stared at Shen Yiyu's face closely, the other party said softly: "What I said hurts the heavens and reason, because too many people have died because of my employment, you are the fifth warlock I found, and the first four people are dead." ”
Shen Yiyu said: "That private detective once warned me not to look for help everywhere, but I didn't listen to his advice. If it doesn't work once, go to someone else. Those people who have been exposed to the cold will die mysteriously. I knew they were going to die and asked someone to help, so what is it if it doesn't hurt God?"
I couldn't help frowning: If Shen Yiyu's words are true, in my opinion, there is no such thing as hurting the heavens and reason. If a warlock dares to take on business, he must be prepared to die. If you do business, you can't complain about your employer. However, if Shen Yiyu tells a lie, things here will be different.
I couldn't see anything wrong with Shen Yiyu's face, and asked again, "That day, why did you deliberately drive me away?"
"I don't want you to die!" Shen Yiyu said: "That day, Xuan Ming told me that he had found a way to cure Yi Han. Let me prepare to go with him to the Water Moon Temple. I thought they really had a way to save Yihan, and they didn't want others to get involved, so they deliberately drove you away. After you left, Boss Wang refused to give up, repeatedly recommended you to me, and even had a verbal conflict with Daoist Xuan Ming......"
Shen Yiyu's words are somewhat credible, I know Wang Le'an, he is a person who can break his head when he sees profit, and the meat of the Shen family has been delivered to his mouth, and it is impossible for him not to eat it. Whoever wants to steal meat from him, he can bite whomever he wants. It is not difficult to understand the conflict between Wang Le'an and Taoist Xuanming.
Shen Yiyu continued: "Later, Daoist Xuan Ming was provoked, and dragged Boss Wang to see Yi Han, pointing at Yi Han and asking him if he could be cured. Boss Wang called him at the time, saying that as long as you make a move, you will definitely be able to cure the cold. He also said that he would get you back tomorrow. And then it was gone. ”
Shen Yiyu's statement is very in line with Wang Le'an's character, but how did Wang Le'an die?
I said in a deep voice: "After Wang Le'an left, what was Shen Yihan doing? Or did Shen Yihan have any abnormal reactions at that time?"
"No!" Shen Yiyu shook his head and said, "Yihan, I've been sitting in the house all the time." ”
I pondered for a moment before I said, "Xuanzi, wake up that Taoist priest." ”
Ye Xuan directly buckled the bucket to Xuan Ming's head: "Don't pretend to be dead, get out." ”
As soon as Xuan Ming was awakened by the cold water, Ye Xuan carried the other party to the table, pressed one of his hands on the table, and pressed one of the other party's fingers with a dagger: "For a while, give me honest talk, if you say it slowly, if you say it wrong, I will chop off one of your fingers, you have five chances." ”
The fierce light in Ye Xuan's eyes was shining, and no one who saw it would think that he was bluffing.
Xuan Ming was so frightened that his face turned pale: "I said, I'll say everything." ”
I walked to the table and looked at Xuan Ming: "You are not a Taoist, who are you?"
From the time Ye Xuan and Xuan Ming started, I felt that he was not a Taoist priest. Xuan Ming's posture of drawing his sword is not the action that a martial arts practitioner should have, and his sword is even more disorderly, and it looks no different from a street gangster picking a knife.
"I ...... I'll ......" As soon as Xuan Ming hesitated, Ye Xuan's knife pressed down halfway, and Xueliang's blade instantly cut the opponent's fingers: "Don't ...... Don't chop ...... I said......"
Xuan Ming completely collapsed: "My name is Zhang Jun, and I am a mixed society, and I usually rely on the pit to cheat two small money. Some time ago, my brother and I offended people, and we didn't dare to stay at home and wanted to find a place to hide. I knew that there was a Water Moon Temple on the mountain, and there were three old roads in it, and the place was not easy to find, so we went to the Water Moon Temple. When we went, the old man was dead......"
When I heard this, my face turned cold and I said, "Chop!"
Ye Xuan didn't say a word, he pressed down with a knife, one of Zhang Jun's fingers suddenly burst to the ground, and the other party screamed like a pig, but he couldn't break free of Ye Xuan's palm, I waited for Zhang Jun to shout almost before he said in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth." ”
Zhang Jun said in a trembling voice: "When we passed, there was an old Taoist left in the Water Moon Temple, and he was already dying, I saw that he was not lightly ill, so I helped him." ”
I said coldly, "Go on!"
Zhang Jun continued: "We searched several times inside and out, but we didn't see where the remaining two old roads went. I've seen all those old ways, and they're not young for a few years. I guess I'm dying of old age. We all pretended to be Taoist priests to avoid the limelight in the water and moon view. At first, we were worried about being discovered, but after a long time, we found that nothing happened, so we simply pretended to be Taoist priests and stayed in Shuiyueguan. ”
I said in a deep voice: "What do you usually live on when you live in the Water Moon Temple?" I don't believe that three idle things can live in the Taoist Temple with peace of mind.
"That old man left a notebook, and I studied it for a few days, relying on stupid people to get two money to spend. Zhang Jun didn't wait for me to ask, and he confessed later: "We have been in Shuiyueguan for almost two years, right? Shen Yiyu just found us, and as soon as I heard that the Shen family had such a big deal, I followed." The Shen family's matter is too evil, we can't deal with it! I worked with the two of them to trick Shen Yiyu into the view and kidnap her for some money......"
"Bastard!" Shen Yiyu's face turned pale with anger: "It turns out that you are liars." You ......"
Zhang Jun was seriously injured twice in a row, and he already had a stomach full of fire in his heart, he didn't dare to argue with me and Ye Xuan, but as soon as Shen Yiyu spoke, he immediately became angry: "If you want to deceive, you can deceive me first...... What the hell are you good about? You ......."
As soon as Ye Xuan saw Zhang Jun return his mouth, his eyes glared and he wanted to beat people. Before Ye Xuan's hand was raised, he was stopped by me. Zhang Jun didn't notice my actions at all, and was still scolding: "What kind of thing do you really think you are? How did all the masters you invited die, don't you have a number in your heart?"
Shen Yiyu's face suddenly changed: "You shut up for me!"
Zhang Jun didn't care so much: "They all died in the hands of Shen Yihan, right? Those people went out of the manor with their front feet, and Shen Yihan's back feet disappeared." Shopkeeper Chen and the person surnamed Wang came over the same day, did Shen Yihan go out with them?"
"Shut up...... Shut up......" When Shen Yiyu's face turned pale with fright, I had already said lightly: "Miss Shen, you don't seem to have anything to say to me, right?"
"I ...... I didn't say anything ...... Shen Yiyu and "I" for a long time, but my face became more and more gloomy, but Shen Yiyu bit her lip and didn't say a word under my forced gaze.
Zhang Jun shouted: "Shopkeeper Chen, let me tell you, that surname Shen is not a good thing. He deliberately brought people back for his sister to die, and if the person who came died, her sister would be able to live a few more days, and she was taking someone to give her sister a life!"
"You can shut up!" I waved my hand slightly, and Ye Xuan slapped Zhang Jun to the point that he was speechless.
I don't believe a word about what Zhang Jun said about renewing his life. There may be secret methods such as life extension in this world, but it is a very complicated process, and it will never be as simple as Zhang Jun said, unless Shen Yihan is a monster who can suck people's life in mythology. However, even if I am a warlock, I will not believe it.
I looked at Shen Yiyu and said, "Miss Shen, you hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." ”
Shen Yiyu whispered: "I'm afraid that you will avenge Boss Wang, which is not good for Yi Han." ”
Shen Yiyu suddenly raised her head: "Shopkeeper Chen, I beg you to let Yi Han go, okay?" I will do my best to compensate Boss Wang's family?"
I said with a gloomy face: "His family is all dead, how can you compensate?"
"No...... It wasn't Yi Han's doing, you believe me!" Shen Yiyu said incoherently: "Yi Han is very kind, she won't do this kind of thing." Moreover...... Moreover...... Not everyone who saw Yi Han had an accident, and there were people who didn't have anything to do, and Yi Han wouldn't do such a cruel thing. ”
My brow twitched slightly.
Shen Yiyu's words woke me up - Shen Yihan was a targeted killer. If, Shen Yihan is really like Zhang Jun said, killing people in order to continue his life, then the first people to die should be Zhang Jun and the three of them, and then the bodyguards of Shen's Manor. However, Zhang Jun and the three of them have always been intact, and the bodyguards of the Shen Manor have not suffered a large number of casualties before we arrived at the manor. Shen Yihan's murder must have some kind of condition.
I said in a deep voice, "Who have you invited, who has died mysteriously and who hasn't?"
"I asked Yan Zhang, a feng shui master from the center street......" Shen Yiyu said the names of five or six people in a row, several of whom I have also seen, some of them are a little bit of color, and some are pure liars, except that they can flicker and can't even understand the compass. However, among these people that Shen Yihan said, there were two liars who died and lived. Wang Le'an is just an intermediary, and his wife is a housewife, but both of them are dead.
This makes me a little puzzled, what is Shen Yihan's standard for killing?
I turned around in place with my hands behind my back a few times before I looked at Shen Yiyu and said, "Can I trust you?"
Shen Yiyu was stunned for a long time before saying, "As long as you can save Yihan, let me do anything." You trust me. ”
I pulled out a dagger from my leg and slapped it on the table: "Take the knife and kill Zhang Jun." As long as you have blood on your hands, I will believe you. ”
"Don't ......" As soon as Zhang Jun asked for mercy, Ye Xuan raised his hand to remove Zhang Jun's chin, Zhang Jun couldn't shout a word, but his two eyes stared at Shen Yiyu with pleading and shook his head desperately.
Shen Yiyu looked at me with a pale face and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you ...... You're asking me to kill?"
"Is there a problem?" I said, pulling the machete out of my body.
