Chapter 14: Survivors
"Are you sure it's a fox spirit and not a fox demon?" asked Wang Chong.
The red-skinned toad puffed out his eyes and said proudly:
"My grandfather Shangong suppressed the border, for decades, no demon has ever dared to cross the thunder pond?
Wang Chong searched his memory, and although the red-skinned toad was angry, this sentence was not a slang word.
The 'Mountain Gong' of Lugang Mansion is not only the first great monk in the Sixteen Techniques of Earth Evil, but also a strange person with a high reputation. Since he took office as the 'Mountain Prince', the demon in the cities of Lugang Prefecture has definitely been extinct.
The yokai that practitioners refer to are divided into 'spirits' and 'demons'.
Spirits, all of which are fish, insects, beasts, birds, etc., are formed the day after tomorrow. It is said that it was formed by various coincidences and was nourished by merit incense.
The demon is the evolution of the spirit, and it is more powerful. Only when you are out of the body of a spirit and can transform into a human can you call it a 'demon demon'.
The strength of the spirits is lower than that of the earth-shattering monks, and many of them have become servants of the monks and are supported by the monks.
The demon is different, except for a few demon demons with a bad foundation, the vast majority of demons in the world are not weaker than the earth-shattering monks, and even many are stronger than the earth-shattering monks.
Because of this, there is a saying of 'demon disaster'!
'If this big case was committed by the fox spirit, then why can't the Disha monks in Jiazhou City find out why?'
Even the red-skinned toad knew that the fox spirit was good at seducing, and Wang Chong didn't think that the earth-shattering monks were stupider than the toad.
Wang Chong pondered for a moment and decided to find the man who survived the incident first.
As soon as he thought of it, Wang Chong picked up the red-skinned toad, ignored its puffing mouth and begging for mercy, and stuffed it into the soft leather money bag with his backhand.
After leaving the inn, I searched all the way and found Chen Zezhuang.
Chen Zezhuang is a village located in the western suburbs, because of the abundant water source, conducive to rice planting, so there are many farmlands, is a famous grain production area in the western suburbs.
Wang Chong waited under the locust tree in Zhuangtou for a long time, and after about half an hour, Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong arrived on horseback.
"Mr. Wang!"
Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong threw off their horses, and Wang Chong bowed in both directions.
"Hmm. Wang Chong nodded and said with a smile, "The two of you will accompany me to investigate this case." ”
"Could it be the 'Fox Blood Case' in the Grade A case file?"
Zhou Tong is the head of the military attache of the state government, 'Du Wei', equivalent to the state magistrate, as soon as he heard Wang Chong talk about it, he remembered this sensational bloody case at that time.
Gongsun Zhi looked at Wang Chong with admiration: "Mr. Wang really did what he said, and he came to investigate this sealed case for the first time." ”
"What do you think? Let me hear it. Wang Chong sat on the stone and asked calmly and indifferently.
His attitude, which is different from the mediocre old Wang in the past, naturally and imperceptibly affects the two loyal supporters, so that Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong respect him.
After all, Wang Chong is currently the backbone of the two, and if Wang Chong shows his impatience and incompetence, the confidence of the two will fall. The more indifferent and profound Wang Chong is, the more confident the two will follow.
Zhou Tong was straight, hugged his fists and said: "This case was the first to be investigated by a certain family at that time, and thirteen people died, which is not a trivial matter. After investigation, it was determined that it was done by a fox spirit. ”
Gongsun Zhiya said:
"Later, I accompanied a few monks to Kancha. The folk here say that there are mountain fox tribes haunting, so the object of detection is also selected as a fox spirit. ”
"The deceased were all young and middle-aged, and they were all in the same person, and they were full of vigor and blood. It is reasonable to be deceived out of the house and victimized by the fox spirit. ”
When Wang Chong heard the description of 'never been a person', another key word 'virgin' came to mind.
All the evidence shows that the spirit of the murder is a fox spirit nine times out of ten, which fully meets the conditions and purpose of the murder.
"If there is a target, why did the investigation fail?" Wang Chong asked.
Zhou Tong's face was immediately embarrassed: "At that time, we gathered seven monks, and nearly 100 soldiers from the California government searched the mountains here, but there was no trace of the mountain fox. ”
Gongsun Zhi also added: "I have also carried out divination on this case, and there is a high probability that the perpetrator is in this area, but he cannot be found. ”
"What is the conclusion of the final abandonment?" Wang Chong asked again.
"The spirit of the murderer has fled and is not in Jiazhou. Zhou Tong rarely bowed his head and blushed.
"At that time, there was another important case, so the fox blood case here was shelved. Gongsun Zhi also added.
Wang Chong nodded, stood up and walked forward: "Let's go, find the survivor and ask." ”
The three of them went all the way into the village, and Zhou Tong found Zhuang Bao and visited Chen Qilang's house.
Chen Qilang is a survivor of the bloodbath. He has just turned 20 years old and is a handsome scholar.
"Xiaosheng, see all the adults!" Chen Qilang got the news, greeted him out of the house, and bowed respectfully.
Wang Chong looked at this handsome young man, and only had one comment in his heart:
"Gay is angry ......"
From the point of view, due to the affluence of his family, this Chen Qilang was born with fine skin and tender meat, a slender body, and an appearance of a weak scholar.
The demeanor is also decent, not at all like the birth of the farm.
Listening to Zhuang Bao's whispering introduction, this Chen Qilang's family has six sisters, and they are all well married. So the whole family spoils this man alone.
At that time, the bloody case occurred, Chen Qilang was lucky to escape, and since then, he has made his family fearful, redoubled his care, and raised a man like a flower.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhuang Bao and Chen Qilang welcomed Wang Chong and others into the house, and sat down as guests.
"Chen Qilang, you will say it again about the case that night and the lucky escape. Remember, don't deceive and coax, otherwise you will be severely punished!" Zhou Tong said in a deep voice.
Chen Qilang's face turned slightly pale, nodded a little timidly, and then began to tell:
"Enlighten all adults, that night, Xiaosheng went out to admire the moon, and happened to pass by near Hu Ge'er's house, and heard a sound in the grass......"
Originally, Xiaosheng knew the truth of ignoring indecency, but the sound in the grass was really strange, as if there was a whip whipping. Xiao Sheng was curious for a moment, so he couldn't help but sneak over to visit......"
"But I didn't want to, and suddenly I saw a terrifying black shadow!"
When Chen Qilang said this, his face was even more pale and afraid, and he stretched out his white palm to caress his chest, making a frightened look.
"Gay ......is gay angry" Wang Chong silently added another sentence in his heart, glancing at Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong, it seemed that except for himself, no one else thought that there was anything wrong with Chen Qilang.
Most of the scholars in this world are weak and sven, otherwise there would not be so many sad legends among the people. Besides, Chen Qilang's family is wealthy, and it is natural that he seems to be a little fat.
"Do you see that black shadow clearly?" Zhou Tong asked with a frown.
"I didn't see it clearly, it looked like a fox...... But at that time, Xiao Sheng only felt a fishy smell, and then he didn't wake ......up."
Chen Qilang seemed to be afraid to recall the memory of that time, and his expression trembled.
Wang Chong heard another key word: 'fishy'.
It stands to reason that when a beast with thick hair, such as a fox, a wolf, a leopard and a bear, appears, then it should be a puff of nostrils......
Zhou Tong asked a few more words, and Chen Qilang replied timidly.
Wang Chong did not continue to listen, but moved his consciousness, touched the "aura", and entered the world of the picture scroll.
