Chapter 33: Pretending to be a ghost

Zhao Yuanwai's house is located in the south of the city, and now it has moved to a nearby courtyard in the downtown area. Lu Sheng first asked Zhao Yuan to take them to the haunted home at the beginning.

The Zhao family is worthy of being one of the richest households in Suzhou Prefecture, and the large amount of land occupied by Lu Sheng is dumbfounded. Just the courtyard at home is bigger than the entire criminal department.

The entire courtyard is paved with marble floors, the marble is crystal clear, and the mirror can be seen. Walking through the yard into the backyard, there are all the pavilions and pavilions in the home.

Lu Sheng and the five of them followed Zhao Yuanwai all the way, and also looked at the layout of the entire backyard from time to time.

"My lord, since five days ago, my house has been haunted, and I am not afraid of adult jokes, and I feel cold and cold when I walk here now. ”

"What was the first haunted place?" Lu Sheng asked lightly.

"It's here!" Zhao Yuanwai led Lu Sheng through an arch to a small courtyard, "This was originally a small courtyard where the maids in the house lived. One night five days ago, a maid said she saw evil spirits crawling out of the well.

At that time, the maid was frightened stupid, and the old man ordered someone to seal the well. I didn't care too much about it at the time, and I comforted the other maids.

But who would have thought that the next morning, the maid would hang herself on this banyan tree. He also wrote the words chicken dog without leaving four words on his clothes with blood. At that time, the old man was so scared that he hurriedly moved out of here......"

"Why didn't you report to the official?" Lu Sheng asked with a slight frown.

At that time, the old man thought that it was an evil ghost, so he hurriedly ordered someone to invite the Sancai mage to come and catch the ghost. The maids in the house were all bought by me from the dental store, so I didn't report to the official. ”

The subordinates who are bought back from the dental store are different from the subordinates recruited by large families. Although Lu Sheng is very disgusted with human trafficking, this is a limitation of this era and cannot be changed by Lu Sheng's dislike.

In this era, the productive forces are not yet developed, and many poor places may not have eaten a full meal in their lives. If one day encounters a natural or man-made disaster, you can only starve to death.

Therefore, for those poor families, buying and selling children is not only not a sin, but a life-saver. Hence the officially licensed human trafficking business.

Those who do these businesses are called tooth shops, and they will go to poor places to collect children, and then transport them to rich places like Jiangnan to sell them to rich families.

These people who bought back from the tooth shop, they no longer enjoy the rights and policies of the Yu Dynasty to the people, they are the buyer's personal belongings, and even life and death depend on the buyer.

If you were lucky, you became a house slave of a dignitary, and if you were unlucky, you went to the Qinglou.

Lu Sheng sighed softly, "Later, the Sancai mage failed to catch the ghost and died?"

"Yes, I invited three mages in a row and all of them died!"

"This is the place where you catch ghosts?"

"Yes, the altar was opened in this courtyard, but the mage was present at the time, and we ...... I didn't dare to come over, so I didn't see it. ”

Lu Sheng slowly stopped on the edge of a rockery, staring at the missing corner of the rockery. In the middle of the flower bed, a stone rolls down into the depths of the flower bed.

The missing corner is flat, and it feels as if it has been polished.

Lu Sheng raised his hand and waved it gently, and the spider Sun You instantly dispersed. The two of them rushed to every corner of the courtyard like apes, paused in one place for a while, and then left in an instant.

After a while. Spider and Sun You returned to Lu Sheng's side again.

"Returning to my lordship, there are traces of fighting on the roof, and there are remnants of broken roof tiles. It was supposed to be two people fighting, but obviously, one of them had a much higher martial arts, so the other was defeated and finally knocked off the roof and fell into the flower bed. ”

"My lord, there is a pitch-black palm print on the wooden beam in the east, although so many days have passed, it still smells foul, this should be a poisonous sand palm. It will take at least thirty years to train the poisonous sand palm to this level. ”

"There is also a slender piercing wound on the locust tree in the west, judging from the shape, it should be a wound pierced by sword qi, this person's martial arts are at least above the five levels of the day after tomorrow!"

The two of them spoke cracklingly, although it was very fast, Zhao Yuanwai could roughly understand it, and his face instantly turned blue, "Lord Lu, what do you mean...... My house is not haunted but man-made?"

"Although the doctrine of ghosts and gods must not be disbelieved, it is also not to be believed. Yin and yang are separated, how can ghosts easily come into contact with people, so nine times out of ten ghosts are man-made disasters.

The person who committed murder in your house is afraid that he is a martial arts master. Someone, open that well for me!"

Several of the newly recruited subordinates hurriedly stepped forward. Although they don't hold fifty taels of monthly worship like Sun You and the three of them, they are still the guards of the Criminal Division. Seeing Sun You and the others showing their faces in front of adults, several subordinates were envious and looked forward to behaving well in front of Lu Sheng.

So as soon as Lu Sheng's voice fell, several people came to the well heroically. The heavy slate was removed little by little, but an unpleasant stench emanated from the wellhead.

Lu Sheng's face changed greatly, this smell was very familiar, it was the smell of rotting corpses.

Several guards who moved away from the wellhead glanced down, and instantly fell to the sky as if they had seen some terrifying scene. One of them vomited violently.

"What's wrong...... What do you see?"

"Corpse...... A ...... Gross-"

"It's crawling with maggots...... It's scary!"

Hearing their words, the four of them were also so frightened that their faces turned pale. And Lu Lixi covered his mouth to the side and vomited. Before I saw it, the deterrent power was already so terrifying.

Lu Sheng asked Sun You to ask for a servant, and asked the three of them to salvage the body. Although it was disgusting, he had to fish out the body in order to raise the public food of the Criminal Division.

However, Lu Sheng was very calm and natural, and gently patted the shoulders of the three of them, "It's okay, you just treat him as the stinky meat on the butcher shop board in the market, and you will get used to it after a long time......"

The newcomer's face suddenly changed, and he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying to Lu Sheng, and then suddenly ran behind the banyan tree in a panic and vomited violently.

Looking at them, it made Lu Sheng recall that he seemed to be like this when he first entered the industry. But there are more cases, and I have seen more tragic murder scenes, and gradually I will not be surprised.

Lu Sheng knows his own business, but in the eyes of others, it is determined and does not move. Because of Lu Sheng's age and experience, there are not many opportunities to even see a corpse, let alone such a tragic corpse?

"It's worthy of an adult! This mind can be enlightened. ”

"What are you talking about, my lord is a new science and technology jinshi, I heard that as long as you can be named on the gold list, it must be possessed by Wenqu Xing. This little battle is naturally not a problem. ”

Soon he came over, and when he saw the corpse fished out of the well, his face changed slightly. But after all, he was experienced in a hundred battles, and he quickly calmed down after being slightly moved.

Came to the corpse and examined it carefully, "The corpse is male, about eighteen years old. Judging by the degree of decay, the time of death will be more than a month.

But given that he was soaked in a well and catalyzed by maggots, the time to death should be shorter or even less than ten days.

The ribs in the chest were crushed and fractured, and the fracture area was about one foot. It was supposed to have been hit hard with a blunt object, and it was a one-hit kill.

The internal organs are shattered, indicating that the attacker has martial arts, and the force directly hits the inner house through the flesh and skin. His face was completely decayed, and he couldn't make out what it was. Naked, it seems that the killer deliberately did not know his identity. ”

After finishing speaking, he slowly stood up and wiped his forehead with a towel.

"Song Chengzuo, the flesh and blood on the chest of the deceased are slightly darker than those in other places, and the degree of corruption is also more serious than that in other places, which is likely to be caused by poisoning. Lu Sheng added lightly.

Lord Lu's eyes were like torches, yes, the deceased was indeed poisoned before his death, and the location of the poisoning was the same as the location where he was hit hard. But judging by the degree of corruption, the poison is not deadly.

This poison is supposed to be a chronic toxin, and the deceased is killed instantly after receiving a heavy blow. So this poison has become redundant. ”

"Poison Sands!" the spider shouted again, "he died from Poison Sands." The power of the palm of the poisonous sand contains severe poison, once the palm is not detoxified within three days, the toxicity will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and the immortals will be difficult to save. ”

"Spider, how many people in the rivers and lakes can poison sand palms?" Lu Sheng asked expectantly.

"My lord, the poisonous sand palm and the iron sand palm are actually a kung fu, the only difference is that those who practice the poisonous sand palm will mix the five poisonous insects into the iron sand, and the slapping day after day cannot be interrupted.

If it lasts for 20 years, the poisonous sand palm can be completed. During the cultivation period, the five poisons will soak into the cultivator's flesh palm, so the palm power will contain toxins.

Although the poisonous sand palm is regarded as an evil skill and is spurned, after all, this is a constant practice of kung fu, so it is widely spread. Moreover, there are no cultivation requirements, nor any threshold requirements, and everyone can practice it. ”

"In this case, even if you know that the murderer can poison the sand palm, you will not be able to lock on to the target. Lu Sheng's brows furrowed, this kind of person who knows martial arts is the most headache.

Martial arts is a good thing, and many complex things will become simple in front of martial arts. And once you break the law with martial arts, such a simple problem can be very complicated. Masters kill people, and it is difficult to leave clues. This makes it more difficult to solve the case.

"My lord, the murderer's light skills should be very high, I just watched it on the roof, and there was a big battle between the two of them on the roof. But judging from the traces of the scene, there is only one trace left by one person.

From the sword marks to the steps, it was all one person's, as if that person was fighting against the air. But the five fragments on the roof could tell that there was really a master, and they slapped him.

The man was hit hard and fell backwards, smashing five tiles in a row before rolling off the roof. He then hit the flower bed and was killed. ”

People who know how to practice kung fu generally focus on outer kung fu, but light kung fu belongs to inner kung fu. In this way, this murderer is both internal and external?" Lu Sheng said solemnly.

"Sancai Master, Chongniu Dao Chief, Baimei Dao Chief, although these three people are not good at martial arts, I heard the master say that they are also the top masters in Suzhou Mansion. All three of them died at the hands of the murderer, and the murderer's martial arts are afraid that they are not at the peak of the day after tomorrow. Lu Jian hugged the sword and said coldly.
