Volume 2: Mao'er Mountain Chapter 76: Suspicious
The next day, someone came to tell Xiao Yue that something had happened to Xu Manfu's fifteen-year-old son and asked him to take a look.
rushed to Xu Manfu's house to take a look, Xiao Yue knew that his son's symptoms were the same as Xu Laimin's daughter, and he was taken by someone.
He couldn't help but be shocked by the events that happened one after another.
This person who ingested the spirits seemed to be in a hurry to collect some spirits.
Is there some conspiracy on his part?
Xiao Yue asked Xu Manfu, "Where did your son pass out?" ”
Xu Manfu said: "It's at the door of the house." ”
Xiao Yue said: "When?" ”
Xu Manfu said: "At eight or nine o'clock last night. ”
Xiao Yue frowned and said, "What is your son doing when he goes out so late?" ”
Xu Manfu said: "He finished dinner, went out to play with the son of the old rich family, and went home so late to play, but when he walked to the door, he fainted, I heard some sounds, so I came out to see, who knew that his son passed out in front of his house." ”
Xiao Yue said: "Where is the old rich family in the village?" ”
The village chief said: "It's at the entrance of the village." ”
Xiao Yue said: "How far is the entrance of the village from here?" ”
The village chief said: "There should be more than a kilometer." ”
One kilometer is not very far, but it takes a minute or two to walk.
In this minute or two, the person who ingested his son's spirit could have committed murder halfway, so why did he wait until his son arrived at the door of the house to attack him?
This is where Xiao Yue couldn't figure it out.
Xu Manfu said suddenly: "Before my son's accident, I was sitting in the house waiting for him to come back, when I heard someone at the door of the house as if someone called him, and then I heard the sound of him falling to the ground, and hurriedly ran out to look, but I only saw my son falling to the ground, and I didn't see anyone else." ”
Xiao Yue hurriedly asked, "Did you hear this voice clearly?" What did he say besides calling your son by name? ”
Xu Manfu said: "I only heard this sentence clearly, and I didn't hear anything else." ”
Xiao Yue said: "Whose voice does this sound like in the village?" ”
Xu Manfu said thoughtfully: "This voice is very soft, I can't hear whose voice it is." ”
Xiao Yue knew that this was a kind of soul dementorship.
In the Taoist Xuanmen Mystic Method, many spells are very magical.
This dementorship is one of them, as long as you recite the incantation silently at first and call his name to the other person, as soon as the person answers, the spirit will be ingested immediately.
This kind of small technique does not require any cultivation on the part of the person, as long as he masters the essence of the spell in it, even an ordinary person can use it normally.
From this point of view, Xiao Yue was even more sure that her guess was not wrong.
This person must have colluded with the cat demon, but why did he ingest the spirit for the cat demon, is there any shady deal between them?
At this time, Xu Zhengwen suddenly appeared at Xu Manfu's house, saying that he heard that his son had an accident and came to take a look. Everyone is a neighbor, and it is normal for Xu Zhengwen to have such a mind.
But Xiao Yue noticed his unnatural demeanor and demeanor.
When Xu Zhengwen saw Xu Manfu's son lying unconscious on the bed, the look on his face that was unintentionally revealed was something he shouldn't have.
Although Xiao Yue couldn't figure out why he was like this for a while, she had doubts about him in her heart.
Could it be that this murderer who ingested the spirit was him?
But there's no reason for him to collude with the cat demon?
His son had returned home safe and sound, and he wanted to get as far away from the cat demon as possible, so how could he collude with it?
But some of Xu Zhengwen's actions made Xiao Yue puzzled.
I really can't figure out why.
When Xu Zhengwen faced them, although he had kept a smile from the moment he entered the door, he smiled unnaturally at all.
Others may not be able to see it, but Xiao Yue can see it.
The smile was obviously faked, and even deliberately concealed a certain emotion in his heart.
It's a mixed emotion of indignation and guilt.
How could he be in such a mood?
Could it be that after he ingested the soul of Xu Manfu's son, he felt sorry for others, so he felt guilty?
How can you explain the outrage?
Why was he angry when he saw Xu Manfu's son having an accident?
Xiao Yue felt that Xu Zhengwen was the murderer for a while, and felt that he was not.
He was so confused at the moment that he really couldn't figure out a clue.
Before Xu Zhengwen left, he deliberately said a word to Xiao Yue, this sentence came abruptly, making him even more confused, he said: "Daoist has worked hard, thanks to you for saving my family Zhiwen that day, alas, if he does something wrong in the future, I hope you will be more tolerant." ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Yue and the village chief walked out of Xu Manfu's house, only to find that Xu Manfu and Xu Laimin's home and Xu Zhengwen were neighbors.
This surprised Xiao Yue, why was it Xu Zhengwen's neighbor who had the accident?
At this time, he was even more suspicious of Xu Zhengwen.
Maybe the murderer is really him.
But now I can't find evidence, so it's not good for me to come to the door and question it directly.
It's the next day, and one day, Xu Laimin's daughter is worried about her life, and now time is pressing, although he suspects that Xu Zhengwen is the murderer, but he doesn't know how to expose his evil deeds in a hurry.
What's more, this is just his speculation, there is no evidence in his hand, why did he designate Xu Zhengwen as the real murderer?
On this day, in order to find out the real murderer, Xiao Yue specially wandered around the village, but in fact, he was monitoring Xu Zhengwen's movements intentionally or unintentionally.
It's a pity that Xu Zhengwen's home is closed all day, and no one has ever come out.
Seeing that the sun is setting, the sky is about to get dark, if he can't find the real murderer today, and can't get back the spirit of Xu Laimin's daughter, she will die tomorrow.
Invisibly, Xiao Yue felt that the burden on her shoulders weighed a thousand pounds.
He's been through the kind of thing that he can't do about watching his nearest and dearest people die.
This is a bad thing.
He couldn't let Xu Laimin's daughter lose her life in vain.
But what can he do now?
There's nothing he can do now.
Is history going to repeat itself again?
Xiao Yue couldn't accept such a thing.
He had dinner at the village chief's house, and planned to go directly to Xu Zhengwen to ask the matter clearly.
If the confusion in his heart cannot be resolved, he is really not at ease.
He couldn't have been so reckless, if the murderer was not Xu Zhengwen, then he had wronged others. But now that time is pressing, he can't care about anything else, after all, there is still room for redemption for wronging others, but if Xu Laimin's daughter's life is missed, there is no room for turnaround.
Of course, he knows very well which of the two is more important, so he will not hesitate to risk the crime of wronging people to go to Xu Zhengwen to ask for clarification.
Who knew that he hadn't gone out yet, but Xu Zhengwen came to the door by himself, and his visit was much more than Xiao Yue expected.
I saw Xu Zhengwen's expression flustered, with a guilty and sad expression in his eyes, and he paused for a long time before he spoke: "I know who the murderer who ingested the souls of Xu Manfu and Xu Laimin's children is. ”
Xiao Yue and the village chief bounced up from their chairs with a "rub", and both of them were surprised and delighted.
The village chief was even more anxious and excited than Xiao Yue, and blurted out, "Who is it?" ”
