Chapter 28: Elders

"You also said junior sister before. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, you. Just learn from your sister. Be patient and take a good look. Clues are not something that can be seen just by looking at the surface. A lot of things are that you have to study hard. ”

looked at Gu Qing with a frightened face. I felt that the senior brother who seemed to be normal before, as if he had suddenly unlocked some unknown attribute. I've been chattering for so long.

Gu Ning also looked blank and said, "Senior brother, okay, okay, I know." Don't say it, I get it. I will learn from my sister. I'll go back and copy the meditation mantra. Please, don't say it. ”

"Hmm." Gu Qing let Gu Ning go after Gu Ning swore repeatedly.

said: "It's not too early, and there is no need to be too urgent to investigate the case." Let's go back first. The junior brother remembered to go back and copy the meditation mantra. ”

"I see, the last sentence of what you said is the point."

"Alright, alright, let's go back. Sister, be careful on the road. ”

The three of them left in the night, the half-crescent moon behind them hung on the ink-like sky, a gust of wind blew, and a dark cloud covered the brilliance of the half-moon, and the night was already deep.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the three were reunited in the morgue.

"Did you copy the meditation mantra yesterday?"

"Didn't you come here today to investigate the case? Why is the first thing to ask me if I have taken the meditation mantra? What does this have to do with the investigation of the case! ”

"Of course, it matters, only a good state of mind can better discover information, find out what you need from the complicated clues, and find the murderer, which is a very important link. Didn't you also take the initiative to do it? Is that how you plan to do it? , are you still going to rely on this girl? Or do you plan to follow me all the time, your senior brother? But Senior Brother can't be relied on by you all the time. So you have to do a good job of copying the meditation mantra. Got it! ”

Gu Ning replied with a broken face, "Senior brother, I copied it, you can rest assured." Naturally, I will be able to take charge of myself in the future. Anyway, I'm also a proud disciple of my master. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it, it's good to have this awareness."

Shallow watched from the sidelines, and the two completely ignored themselves, asking each other questions and answers. looked at Gu Qing and treated Gu Ning like a child. I can't help but wonder, is this really a senior brother? Isn't it father and son? Senior brother Gu Qing seems to be more worried than the master. It can be said that it is heartbroken for Gu Ning. Shallow

Looking at this topic, I couldn't get back to the top of the investigation for a while, and I was a little impatient. Interjected, "Didn't Senior Brother come today to see what the ashes were for?" Why do you need to teach Senior Brother Gu Ning all the time? Now it's the investigation that matters. ”

"Well, I know, don't worry." As he spoke, Gu Qing took out a small pinch of ashes and placed it on the stone platform. Spread the ashes and spread them into a thin layer. Said to Gu Ning and Qianqian: "The ashes we knew before also had a fragrance and a smell of blood, and we can probably know that this is left by the murderer after killing people and disposing of the corpse, I studied it for a while last night and found that this ash should be left after being burned." As I happened to find another handkerchief, I took a closer look. The burned-out ashes were probably left over from the kind of handkerchief that had been burned. Judging from the details of the handkerchief, it is very likely that the ash and the handkerchief are the same person. That is, most of these bodies were disposed of by one person. And. Gu Qing paused here. He seemed to be hesitant to continue, but he didn't continue after a while. "It is very likely that the murderer we are facing is not a lot of people or a gang, but a single person. One person to do it, to dispose of so many corpses? Killing so many people may have a much more serious impact than a group of people. We will continue to investigate, and you need to be mentally prepared. ”

When Qianqian and Gu Ning heard Gu Qing's analysis, they only felt a chill behind them. It's horrible. What is the purpose of the murderer to kill so many people, and to hurt them in such a cruel way?

Sure enough, it can only be said that people's hearts are unpredictable, and cultivation is really sinister. There is no need for a reason to kill, and caution is required to live.

Seeing Gu Ning and Qianqian, they have already understood the seriousness of this matter. Gu Qing then spoke: "I have already checked the matter of the ashes, and I can't find out anything, if you have any ideas, you can also tell me later." Now, today, what we need to do is, check out what is about handkerchiefs. ”

"Yes. Brother. The two replied.

Next, in order to investigate the case, Qianqian and Gu Ning went to the Ornament Hall with Gu Qing.

In the Lingyun Sect, the Outer Gate Affairs Hall and the Inner Gate were managed separately. But it's all under the same elder. At this time, Gu Qing and the others were going to the affairs hall of the inner gate. The office hall is in charge of the inner disciples, and the monthly calendar is distributed. as well as spirit stones, clothing. And it includes the issuance of tasks.

It may not be possible to see who the figure belongs to, but it should be possible to see where the handkerchief came from.

Soon the three of them arrived at the office hall. Due to the identity of the trio. As soon as I arrived at the office, it attracted a lot of attention.

There are many disciples in the affairs hall, some of whom are receiving the monthly examples, and some are receiving tasks. Lots of people and lively. In the middle of the hall sat an elder in charge. Seeing the three of them coming, he saw the jade plaque hanging on the waist of the three of them and said, "What is the matter with the Taoist friends." If you have something to do, you can come with me to the back hall for a cup of tea. If not, this is the place to receive the monthly order, and the place to receive the quest over there. What's the matter with the three of you?"

When Gu Qing heard the steward say this, she answered: "Yes, let's go to the backyard for a cup of tea." There are some things I want to ask. It's also troublesome. ”

"Well, okay, no trouble, no trouble. Come with me. ”

The three of them were about thirty or forty years old at this age, some of them were fat, fat, fair-looking and kind, and they were honest and honest businessmen.

I went to the back hall, and after passing through an arch, I walked a few steps left and right, and I saw a small bridge and flowing water, and a small backyard where the red pavilion reflected the sun. The small backyard is not big, but it is extremely well designed. Connected to the lake is a narrow corridor. Walking on the corridor, you can see a different scenery, which can be described as a step by step, moving the scene, extremely exquisite. And there is a circle of sitting places on the corridor, where you can enjoy the scenery and play fish at any time. There is actually a small island in the middle of the lake, it must be artificially built and there are all kinds of flowers and plants planted on the path, the fragrance is pleasant, you can smell the fragrance just after entering the porch, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, fascinating.

"Come with me, a few of you." The chief elder said. led the three of them to a small door.

Pushing open the door, an old man was making tea inside. It was none other than the Elders of the Church of Affairs.
