Chapter 690: Something to do with the Soul Eater
"Killing people in the street? Can you still let people run away? What does Xuan Tianwei from the Northern Puppet Mansion eat?"
"The murderer is a master, but he assassinated only a madman. And in the middle of the city, by the time Xuan Tianwei arrived, the people had already fled. ”
"Is the scene under control, has the identity of the madman been clarified?"
"The scene has been cleaned up, and the madman is a bachelor from a neighboring village in Gejia Village. He was a scholar in his early years, but later failed the test, his wife ran away, and his son fell ill and died because he had no money for treatment. It didn't take long after that to go crazy.
He used to be a good man and quite talented, so after he became crazy, some people saw him pitiful and gave him something to eat. ”
Lu Sheng stood up and left the conference room, and soon, the flag chief of the Beifu Mansion came, his face was pale and a little panicked.
This is a normal reaction, the top boss came to inspect your territory, and there was a murder on the street......? Hehe, the ghost believes it.
Therefore, the flag of the North Puppet Mansion was very pale, and his forehead was densely covered with fine cold sweat.
"My lord, my subordinates should be damned, there is such a mistake, I will review ......"
"Don't rush to review it yet, how did you deal with it?"
"The deceased was a crazy man who liked to talk nonsense. But in the city, he is very popular, and many people are willing to listen to his nonsense. He was in the street again, and suddenly the murderer appeared and stabbed him in the throat.
The murderer came and went like the wind and disappeared, but a martial arts master attacked and killed a madman is obviously suspicious. So the lowly position speculated that it might have something to do with his nonsense.
The lowly has ordered several witnesses to be brought back. ”
"Hmm!" Lu Sheng nodded, "What clues are there on the corpse?"
"No, just a sword wound through the throat. ”
Lu Sheng's footsteps stopped, he was a martial arts master, and he naturally understood that if a martial arts master wanted to kill an ordinary person, it would be in an instant. So there could not have been any clues on the bodies of the deceased.
And so many people were present at that time, and the murderer killed people directly, obviously the murderer had no fear. So it is almost impossible to hope for a breakthrough on the corpse.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng said, "Find me all the people who like to listen to his stories on weekdays, and the official will ask questions." ”
In the interrogation room, several ragged civilians looked left and right with panic on their faces. Although he came to Xuantian Mansion to testify. But the common people have a natural fear of the government, and even if they don't commit anything, they are sad in their hearts.
The door opened, and Lu Sheng and the others stepped into the interrogation room. The dozen or so people in front of them were even more panicked.
Lu Sheng's eyes swept over so many, the clothes on his body were all patched, and his face was full of vicissitudes. They were as skinny as skinny.
Although Lanzhou has changed a lot this year, most of the people in Lanzhou are still struggling with food and clothing. It won't happen overnight to change the status quo.
However, Lu Sheng also believes that in three years, the people of Lanzhou will not be what they are now.
"You were all there at the time of the crime?"
"Yes...... It's ......"
"Yes, we're all ......"
"Before I could run, I was brought back by Xuantian Mansion...... No, I didn't want to run, I just ......" The man panicked.
"Don't be nervous, we're asking you to come here to testify, not to do anything to you, don't be nervous, just like we do on a daily chat. Feel free to do so. ”
Lu Sheng's gentle smile immediately dissipated their nervousness, and their faces began to relax.
"What is the name of the deceased?"
"Hu Ke, take the meaning of righteousness can be taken by the department. ”
"Do you still know about the scriptures? Have you also read books?"
"No, no! Huko himself said it. Don't look at him stupid now, but he used to be a celebrity in our Beieven Mansion. And he's not stupid, but sometimes his brain isn't quite right. Most of the time he couldn't tell there was something wrong with his brain. ”
"What was Huko talking about at the time?"
"Speaking of his scenery and deeds back then, we actually know those things, but what comes out of his mouth is particularly good. I've listened to it more than a dozen times, and I can still enjoy it. ”
"Tell me about his past? Then why would someone kill him in the street? Didn't he tell any secrets?"
"Secret? No, Huko has a real ability to tell stories, and he wrote stories and published books when he was still smart. However, because he was pirated by unscrupulous merchants, he didn't make a penny. ”
"Yes, Huko's story has been filmed. ”
"What story did he tell?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"That's a lot...... He told not a thousand, but eight hundred. ”
"Nonsense, how can there be so many, only twenty or thirty. With the beginning of this chat-style questioning, a few people who were usually broken gradually let go of you and I started to talk one by one.
"But have you heard a new story about Huko lately?"
"Is that the cat that can't be killed? He told me yesterday, and he scared me to death, and I didn't dare to sleep last night. ”
"Hmm, what can't kill a cat?" Lu Sheng's brows suddenly furrowed, now he is very sensitive to the word cat.
"Hu Ke made up a story about a ghost in the mountains who had a black cat. The black cat eats the soul of a man and drinks his blood.
A few days ago, the cat came to a Gejia village, and the little granddaughter of the Ge family liked it very much, so she took the cat back. But I didn't expect that the next day, the little granddaughter of the old man of the Ge family would become a miserable white bone.
Master Ge is heartbroken, his little granddaughter is his heart. Hate so much that people beat the cat to death. The cat ran and ran, scurrying around the house of Ge's house.
The Ge family blocked the front and back doors, and then ordered the family to beat the cat to death.
Then he was buried with his family's heart. ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... It wasn't terrible at the time. But within a few days, Gejia Village was all killed by the rogues. In retrospect, those rogues were recruited by the cat......"
"I guess so, otherwise we haven't had any rogue in this place for decades, why did they suddenly come?"
"Don't argue, Huko's story isn't finished yet. One blinked and raised his head proudly.
"You haven't heard the rest of the story, have you? Hehehehe, I heard it the day before yesterday. How do you guess Gejiacun died?"
"Oh?" Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, "Hu Ke saw it?"
"My lord, Huko is a storyteller...... How can you take it seriously. Hasn't the case been solved, and the murderers have been brought to justice. ”
"So, what does Huko's story say?"
"The cat that was killed is alive again. As soon as these words came out, several people around him suddenly exploded.
"Alive?"
"At dusk the day after the little girl was buried, the black cat came alive again. Walking into the village with his legs in such a bright and open manner, the cat sucked it gently, and the souls of the people in the surrounding villages were sucked away. One by one, they just fell down and died......"
"Ahh
The man deliberately suppressed his voice, coupled with the dead silence at the moment. Immediately, the people around him let out an exclamation.
"It is said that stupid people have stupid blessings, Hu Ke was in Gejia Village at that time, it may be that three souls went to one soul, Hu Ke was not taken by the ghost cat. The people around him died, but he survived.
Even if you are a fool, you are awakened by the scene in front of you, right? Hu Ke ran out with a roll, and he has been hiding in the city for these days and does not dare to return to Hujia Village. ”
Hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes instantly turned cold.
This story may seem bizarre, but it is the most likely truth.
The people didn't understand it and only thought it was a ghost story, but Lu Sheng knew that the black cat was the spirit of the Soul Eater clan.
Everything is understood, no wonder it is said that after the soul eater killed that family, they didn't move again, so they were hiding here to make ghosts. And if the Punishment Alliance is framed by the Shenggu Faction in order to cover up the truth, then behind the Punishment Alliance is the Soul Eater Clan.
Commanding the Lord...... Maybe it's the Soul Eaters?
Wrong!
Lu Sheng shook his head suddenly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
At most, the martial arts of the Lord of the Commands are in the innate realm, how can the innate realm move these four bronze coffins? Not to mention the four, even one of them can't be moved.
The Soul Eater Clan has other people, and the Punishment Alliance is supported by the Soul Eater Clan. The Evil Alliance hunts down outlaws everywhere in order to collect souls for the Soul Eaters.
The Imperial Spirit came to Gejia Village to collect souls but was killed by Gejia Village, so the Soul Eater Clan slaughtered Gejia Village in a rage, and the Punishment Alliance helped disguise itself as a rogue to rob, and then planted a false accusation to Shenggu to send an ironclad evidence that there was no proof of death.
Although the reverse extrapolation of events is reasonable, these are speculations and there is no evidence to base them on.
The only key points are cats, spirits, and soul eaters. Gejiacun was not killed by Bing Ge, and the scars on his body were added after death. In Hu Ke's story, the soul of Gejia Village is sucked away by cats...... Probably true, too.
After pondering for a long time, several people were still talking about this story.
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Lu Sheng interrupted everyone's discussion with a light cough, "Everyone, this official's question is over." But this official kindly reminds you that this story will rot in your stomach if you hear it. Don't tell the outside world, let alone say what you know.
Hu Kedang Street was killed, and the official is likely to have something to do with this story. Anyone who knows the story is likely to die. ”
Other people's words can be used as a deaf ear, and Lu Sheng's words, the dozen or so people suddenly nodded in fright.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We promise to rot in the stomach, and we promise not to say anything to anyone. ”
"Okay, in that case, Sun You, you secretly send them away, just treat it as if nothing happened. ”
"Yes!"
This harvest is not bad, and I have been thinking about what the punishment alliance is doing and what the purpose is. Now, Lu Sheng suddenly understood.
"My lord!" As soon as he walked out of the interrogation room, Madoka came again.
"My lord, there is a new discovery on the part of the coroner, and a charm has been found on the deceased. ”
"Spells?" Lu Sheng was surprised, why did he come to the spell again?
When it came to the coroner's team, Huko's body had been stripped naked and lying on the board. The brothers of the coroner team came to Lu Sheng with a tray.
Lord Sojo, this was found in the arms of the murderer.
Lu Sheng picked it up and looked at it, this is the appearance of a triangular talisman folded with bright yellow paper. Unfold the amulet, which is a complete spell. The style is similar to the soul suppression spell that Lu Sheng saw.
"Find out where this spell came from. ”
"Yes!" Xianyun hurriedly replied.
