Chapter 285: Mysterious Death
"The name of the Aquila is indeed worthy of its name, and with just a little blood, you can see the real time of death of humans and demons. In addition, he deliberately connived at Wu Tao's actions before, probably because he also wanted to see his skills and martial arts skills, so as to judge whether the human demon died at his hands?
Ye Xiu sighed in his heart, now that the other party has seen it, there is no need for him to deny it.
Besides, since Wu Lao had seen it a long time ago, but did not expose it on the spot, but told them in private, it showed that the other party did not mean to punish them, and no matter how he quibbled and denied it, he would harm the other party, so he nodded and admitted it readily.
"Very good!" Wu Lao nodded: "Then, you use the winning thing to provoke everyone to bet with you, which is no different from deception, can you admit it?"
Ye Xiu nodded honestly.
Wu Lao continued: "Third, Zhou Chuan's matter is also your secret hand, right?!"
"Not bad!" Ye Xiu replied.
Wu Lao nodded: "Very good, then Wu Tao provoked you, framed you, and used everyone to bully you, which is wrong, and you are also wrong to use things that must win to deceive others and plot against others." ”
"You are both at fault, and you should both be punished. But thinking that you are a newcomer, and the incident did not start from you, this is also the reason why the old man only symbolically punished Wu Tao, but did not punish you. ”
"That's what it's all about!"
"Hehe, the seniors are discerning and fair, and the juniors admire!" Ye Xiu hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
But he knows that the next thing is the main thing, just like although there must be after, but after fairness, there must also be unfairness!
"So, let's talk about another thing next!" Wu Lao's smiling face suddenly became serious and cold, and he said sharply: "Do you know that our Demon Subduing Division has a rule, and everything we did before joining the Demon Subduing Division, even if it is a task issued by my Demon Subduing Division, it cannot be counted as a demon subduing merit?"
"Sure enough, it's here!" Ye Xiu and the others all said in their hearts, obviously, Wu Lao had seen through Ye Xiu's little trick of using the human demons he had killed before joining the Demon Subduing Division to pretend to complete the task of the human and demon case!
But unlike Ye Xiu's calmness, Song Yi, Jiang Ge, Shen Fangyuan and others were all worried, and secretly winked at Ye Xiu, signaling him not to nod and admit it.
Ye Xiu naturally saw the gesture of Shen Fangyuan and the others, this was the countermeasure that several people had discussed before, in case the matter of a human demon was exposed, then they would deduce that they did not know this rule in advance, and the ignorant were not guilty and fooled the past.
But Ye Xiu didn't do this, but nodded: "Junior, I heard Brother Qin Zhaoyang Qin say this!"
Hearing this, a trace of appreciation flashed imperceptibly in Wu Lao's eyes, but it was very subtle, while Shen Fangyuan and the others had a great change in their faces, their expressions were anxious, and they didn't understand that Ye Xiu was making such a fuss?
Did appendicitis burn out the head?
Ye Xiu gave Shen Fangyuan and the others a reassuring look, signaling them not to worry.
"Very well, just admit it. Wu Lao said sharply: "Knowing this regulation, you still dared to take the case of the human demon yesterday, and it was clear that you wanted to use the corpse of the human demon to deceive and deceive the merit of the human demon case!"
"Do you know what happens if you deceive and deceive the Demon Slaying Division?"
Ye Xiu shook his head: "The juniors don't know!"
Wu Lao was fierce, like an angry lion, which made people tremble: "If you are expelled from the Demon Suppression Division, you will never be admitted to the official register, and if you are heavy, you will enter the Demon Suppression Tower, and you will never be allowed to come out!"
"Are you guilty?"
"The younger generation is guilty!" Ye Xiu arched his hand, looking terrified, but he was very calm and calm in his heart.
He is now more and more sure that Wu Lao has no intention of settling accounts after the autumn, after all, if the other party wanted to expose him, he could have done so earlier, and there was no need to nag a lot and put on such a bluffing posture.
In his opinion, Wu Lao's attitude was either to beat him, or he had something to do with him, and used it as a bargaining chip, so that he could not and did not want to refuse.
Seeing through the other party's intentions, Ye Xiu became more and more calm and at ease, which was also the key to his generous admit.
Of course, the play that should be acted still has to be acted, and when it is time to cooperate with the other party, it still has to cooperate.
Deny it, how embarrassing it is to let the other party sing a one-man show alone!
Inside the house, there was silence for a while, and the atmosphere was solemn.
After a long time, Wu Lao coughed lightly, and said in a soothing tone: "But I think you dare to act, and your attitude of admitting mistakes is also sincere, and if you kill the demon of the devil, the old man does not want to pursue the matter, and the merits of the demon are also counted on your head." ”
"Thank you, seniors. Ye Xiu hurriedly got up and thanked him.
However, he knew that next would be the finale of the main event. After all, if the date is given, the stick will not be far away.
Sure enough, I only heard Wu Lao continue: "But the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, the old man sees that your strength is not weak, and your mental nature and resourcefulness are not bad, there is just an errand that you need to do, if you do it well, it can be regarded as atonement, if you don't do it well, hum, don't blame the old man for settling accounts after the autumn!"
Sure enough, there is something to do, Ye Xiu knows in his heart, now there is a handle in the hands of Wu Lao, and he has to bow his head when he is under the eaves, so he can only nod and respond: "But according to the orders of the seniors." ”
"Good. Wu Lao was very satisfied with Ye Xiu's attitude: "That's the case, do you know that a strange thing happened in Dongyang Mansion recently." ”
"Strange thing, what strange thing?" Ye Xiu shook his head.
Wu Lao said slowly: "Here's the thing, half a year ago, there was a tenant farmer in Dongyang Mansion, and a family of five died for no reason, and their spirits were destroyed. At first, we thought that there was some demon haunting us, but when we sent people to investigate, we did not find the slightest trace of demonic aura at the scene, and there was no trace of demonic activities around, and the surrounding neighbors did not feel anything wrong. ”
"We investigated for a long time, but we didn't find any clues, let alone the real murderers, and in the end we could only define five people as accidental deaths. ”
"I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that four months ago, a similar incident occurred in Dongyang Mansion again, and there were nine cases and thirty-eight people. Among them were merchants, women in Qinglou, officials, scholars, and other people from all walks of life, who had no connection with each other and in different places, and their deaths were the same as those of the previous family of five. ”
"Thirty-eight people died, naturally it was a big deal, the Demon Suppression Division sent the most experienced demon subduer to investigate this matter this time, but in the end nothing was found, as if, those people just died unexpectedly, and there was never any murderer. ”
"Didn't you find anything at all?" Ye Xiu said strangely.
Wu Lao shook his head: "No, there is no clue at all." ”
Ye Xiu said tentatively: "Is it possible that something like a curse or evil magic can kill people through long-distance manipulation?"
Wu Lao replied, "Very likely. Of course, we didn't find any remnants of spells, sorcerers, or other breaths on the bodies of the deceased, and all of this needs to be investigated. ”
“……”
If you say it, you don't say it!
