Chapter 9: She's Not a Murderer?
"Zhao Jing, you go and send someone to surround the Zuiyue Tower, as long as you are on an errand in the Zuiyue Tower, you are not allowed to let go" Xiao also said to Zhao Jing, "If you find someone who wants to escape, arrest me immediately." β
Lu Jian raised his eyebrows, this man is also a Dali Siqing, how can this tone of speech look like a bandit leader?..
"Yes, my lord"
After Xiao Ye finished speaking, Zhao Jing went to make arrangements, and before Zixin left, the three of them were arranged in a private room, and now only Xiao Ye and Lu Jian were left.
Lu Jian asked Xiao Ye curiously, "Will the person you want to arrest and the person I am looking for be the same?" β
"A few days ago, someone found 6 dead bodies in the barren forest in the southwest, most of the dead were beggars, and there were people from other places, the dead died in different ways, most of the corpses had traces of being gnawed by rats or insects on their bones, and some of their stomachs or skulls were cracked as if something had crawled out" Xiao was also very patient to explain their autopsy results to Lu Jian.
Lu Jian frowned, listening to his descriptions, it was like the traces left by Gu masters after raising Gu with human bodies, some Gu worms would parasitize in people's heads or stomachs, and when they matured, they would bite through their stomachs or skulls and then break out of their shells, in this process, the parasitic people remained awake, and they could even feel the Gu worms frantically gnawing in their bodies, this process was extremely painful and cruel.
Later, some clues were investigated, and all the deceased had contact with the people in this green building before their deaths" Xiao Ye Dao "In recent days, Dali Temple has been sending people to inspect suspicious people near the Zuiyue Building, and has not seen any too suspicious people in and out. β
"If the murderer lives in the Zuiyue Building, then she doesn't have to go in and out of the Zuiyue Building often, and if there is business, the customer will go directly to the building to find her, wouldn't it be more convenient." Although Lu Jiandao is not a professional case-solving person, in modern times, she often assists the police in handling some special cases.
In ancient times, there were many equipment, so if you want to catch the murderer, it must be much more difficult than in modern times.
After Xiao Ye heard Lu Jian finish speaking, a trace of sly light flashed in his deep black eyes, a wicked smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and his thin lips lightly said, "If I remember correctly, no one in your Lu family understands these ghosts, I don't know where Miss Lu Jian's skills in the industry came from?" β
Hearing Xiao Ye's question, Lu Jian was slightly panicked in his heart, but on the surface, he was very calm, with a hint of a smile on his delicate and delicate cheeks, and said, "Naturally, I learned it from the master, but he is very stubborn, and I am not allowed to mention his identity to anyone, so the little woman has nothing to tell." β
"Yes," Xiao also smiled meaningfully
Lu Jian looked at his expression, and had some doubts in his heart, could it be that he knew something? But that's really unlikely.
For a period of time, neither of them spoke, and the air was a little frozen, until Zixin's shout came from outside the door:
"Lord Xiao, Ah Jian, everyone is called, come with me" Zixin lifted the curtain on the door, walked in, and said to Lu Jian and Xiaoye.
Then the three of them came to the hall together, the hall at this time was completely different from the hall just now, and the hall that was originally very lively was now only left with the little girls and girls who were on an errand in the drunken moon building standing there neatly.
The next step is to find the murderer.
Lu Jian told Zixin to close all the doors and windows in the hall. Then she took out a box of incense powder in her bag and burned it in the incense burner, this is a special incense powder, ordinary people may not feel anything special when they smell it, but Gu worms hate the smell of this incense very much, and they will become extremely restless when they smell it.
And Gu masters often deal with Gu worms, and there are many Gu masters who will use Gu in their bodies as a means to save their lives. Even if they didn't put Gu in their bodies, they would be extremely sensitive and disgusted by this fragrance.
After less than a few minutes, the entire hall was filled with this aroma, Lu Jian carefully observed the expressions of each of them, she wanted to see how long this murderer could endure it.
After about 20 minutes, no one made any special reaction, could it be that the murderer was not among these people? But all the people in the Drunken Moon Tower are here, and if someone secretly escapes or hides, they can't be unaware.
Just when Lu Jian thought that the murderer was not here, suddenly a delicate beauty in a gorgeous pink dress suddenly leaned over and vomited, and the guards of Dali Temple next to him got Xiao Ye's gesture and immediately rushed up to catch the beauty in pink.
Just as the guards were about to grab the beauty, the beauty suddenly grabbed from her clothes, grabbed something and threw it at the guards.
"It's a Gu worm! Get out of the way! Lu Jian roared, took out a bulging red bag from the cloth bag, and rushed towards the guards quickly
A dozen of the guards all fell to the ground, and there were many slender cyan worms crawling on their bodies, all of which crawled towards the guards' heads, trying to burrow into their seven orifices
Lu Jian hurriedly grabbed a large handful of red powder from the red pouch and threw it towards the guards, the cyan worm instantly curled up after coming into contact with the red powder and began to struggle violently.
The other side
The beauty in pink wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but how could Xiao give her a chance to escape, he came to the beauty in pink in a few steps, and his movements were very agile
Seeing this, the beauty in pink hurriedly took out the Gu worm from her sleeve and still found it on Xiao Ye's body, and then the beauty showed a smug look.
But suddenly, something strange happened.
The Gu worms on Xiao Ye's body not only did not crawl on him, but fled quickly as if they had encountered something terrifying, and the originally proud expression of the pink-clothed beauty instantly became frightened.
Xiao Ye's dark eyes emitted a cold cold light, and the awe-inspiring momentum emanating from her body frightened the pink-clothed beauty directly in place. After the beauty reacted, Xiao Ye had already come to her side and grabbed her wrist and cut it behind her.
The beauty in pink began to struggle violently
Click
"Ahh Xiao also grabbed her tightly, making her unable to move, causing her to struggle violently and dislocate her arm.
After Lu Jian removed all the Gu worms on the guards, he came to Xiao Ye's side and looked at the beauty in pink.
"Ah Zi turned out to be you," Zixin said with anger on his face, "Is the Gu worm on Lan Xi's body also done by you?" β
"What if it's me, if it weren't for her, I would have been the Oiran of the Drunken Moon Tower, so I'll let her face rot, I see how she fights with me, hahaha" Ah Zi said loudly with a somewhat crazy expression when she saw that the matter was revealed.
Lu Jian smeared the red powder in the bag on his hand, searched out the bag containing the Gu worms on Ah Zi's body, applied a layer of red powder to the outside of the bag, and handed it to Zhao Jing, asking him to burn the Gu worms. Then after confirming the harmless things on Ah Zi's body again, he stepped aside.
"The murderer of Qinglou has been found, but the murderer you want to catch in Dali Temple is not her" Lu Jian looked at Xiao Ye and continued, "The real Gu master is not so rubbish"
"At least now there is one more clue" Xiao Ye has a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you this time, even if I Xiao also owes you a favor, if you have something to find me to come to Dali Temple in the future." β
"Okay" Lu Jian agreed very happily, Dali Siqing's favor is not an ordinary favor, and then he may really want him to help.
Zhao Jing, who came back after dealing with Gu worms, saw this scene and was a little incredulous, when did their boss start to take the initiative to owe favors to others? And what the hell was that slight gentle smile just now?
