Every corpse, Gu Qing looked at it carefully, recorded all the information he got in his heart, and then stopped looking at it carefully, and turned to leave here: "Wait here for a while, let's go, let's go to the scene first." ”

The scene of the crime was not far from here, and it only took more than ten minutes for the two to arrive at Anyunfang.

"Huainan pawnshop?" Gu Qing looked up at the plaque, stepped into the sealed shop, and suddenly stared at it, and stopped.

Murong Qing pointed to the door curtain: "The place of the dead is in the residence in the backyard, Gu Qing, you follow me ......"

"Wait. Gu Qing interrupted him in a deep voice, came to the counter, and stared at the window: "I lost something." ”

Although Murong Qing was surprised by Gu Qing's acuity, he still explained: "That's right, but according to the account book checked, only a purple marble carved ornament was lost, which is very surprising.

Because there are not a few good things stored in the pawnshop, and the jewelry of purple marble is only a few taels of broken silver at best, but for some reason it was lost. ”

Gu Qing pointed to the door: "There is another question, this is a fairly large-scale pawnshop, generally idle things are not collected, just a few taels of silver jewelry, but it just accepted it, isn't it strange?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked, "Remember how much money was used by the pawnshop to store this item?"

"Ten taels...... Hiss~" Murong Qing opened his mouth and replied, suddenly realizing something strange.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Dead or alive?"

Death, is equivalent to selling this thing to a pawnshop, the price is relatively higher, and it is generally only chosen when money is urgently needed.

The living pawn is equivalent to using the mortgage of the property in exchange for some money turnover, setting a time limit to repay the money plus interest, and redeeming the thing. If the owner does not come within the time limit, it will be dead by default.

"Death. ”

"What about people?"

Murong Qing smiled bitterly: "There is no such person, the body post is used by a dead person." ”

Although it was not as deep as Gu Qing thought, the pawnshop only lost this thing, and the government was naturally not blind, so it must have been to track down the news of the original owner, but unfortunately nothing was found.

"Interesting. Gu Qing muttered, bypassing the small door and entering inside, looking at these dense drawers: "Where was that thing before?"

Murong Qing's face was a little ugly: "In the warehouse, not here." ”

Gu Qing's words directly woke him up with enlightenment - things are not valuable, why would this pawnshop accept them at a price much higher than the market price? And it was deliberately stored in the warehouse, not in this drawer?

At the value of that thing, it wouldn't qualify for a warehouse.

Gu Qing walked inside: "Okay, let's go to the scene." ”

"Aren't you going to the warehouse to have a look?" Murong Qing caught up.

"There's no need. ”

Gu Qing shook his head, opened the curtain and came to the backyard, observed the surroundings, and said lightly: "The other party is very cautious, even you experienced people can't find clues, and it's the same if I go." ”

The furnishings of the backyard are simple, three brick houses, a thatched toilet in the corner, a well, a stone mill, and ...... A square table with three round stools.

"People die outside?" Gu Qing's gaze swept around the square table, and three points of surprise rose between his eyebrows: "Strange, it seems that the other party is either a ruthless character or has a backer." ”

"???" Murong Qing was a little dazed, Gu Qing's two sentences jumped too much, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought for a while.

Gu Qing didn't explain, but came to the well and looked at it: "Have you checked here?"

Murong Qing didn't think about it, and nodded hurriedly: "I have checked, there is no abnormality." ”

"I'm talking about the surface of the water, not just the walls of the well. Gu Qing's eyes narrowed, his eyes flashed with a dazzling essence, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to see below through the water.

Murong Qing was surprised: "Are you saying that someone has opened up a passage under the water surface? This is impossible, in the entire capital, there are 8,000 wells alone, not to mention 10,000, such a project...... What's the picture?"

Gu Qing muttered: "Yes, I also want to know what they are trying to do." Find someone to come over and bring me a copy of the waterway map of the capital. ”

"I'll go. Murong Qing saw that Gu Qing didn't seem to be joking, so he immediately raised his mind and hurriedly walked out.

Gu Qing glanced at Murong Qing's back, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was smiling: "I'm really curious, what do you have to do with this pawnshop, why are you so concerned about it?"

In the past few days, a total of seventeen people have died, of which three are roughly classified, three are completely destroyed, and there are three lone wanderers.

The three lone wanderers were all martial artists, including Song Tiancheng, while the other fourteen people were all ordinary people in the capital.

It stands to reason that Murong Qing should take Gu Qing to the place of Song Tiancheng's death first, but this guy took him here first, and his attitude along the way changed slightly from when he first met, with a lot of words and many questions.

That's a bit weird.

"Pawnshop?" Gu Qing thought for a moment, temporarily suppressed a certain suspicion in his heart, and walked around the house.

Suddenly, Gu Qing came to the inner room, sniffed his nose, and focused on the incense burner on the table: "Incense? This is not normal, according to the outfit of the corpse I just saw, this person is an ordinary person, how can an ordinary person light a condensing incense?"

This thing is used by martial artists, and it is specially used to expel distracting thoughts and calm the mind, but the price is quite expensive, not to mention, and long-term use is also harmful.

Even a martial artist can't avoid the drawbacks, let alone the family is still an ordinary person.

If he remembers it well, there are three members of this family, and the child is only seven years old, and he is frail and sickly, and he can't withstand the effect of condensing incense at all, as long as he inhales a little, it is enough to make the other party fall into a coma.

Gu Qing's fingertips gently rubbed the tabletop, then looked around, suddenly stepped lightly, and jumped onto the beam: "It seems that the murderer's strength is limited, at least the murderer who killed this family is not too strong." ”

Thinking of this, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, he became more and more vigilant.

The murderer is not strong, and he may still need to rely on condensing incense to kill, and he is still an ordinary person. If it was a martial artist like Song Tiancheng, he could shoot him to death at will.

In addition, Song Tiancheng used to be a martial artist in the Yunsha Realm, and he was too experienced to easily fall into the other party's Dao, so the probability of being calculated was too small.

Maybe...... There is more than one murderer.

A force, an organization, and the strength of its members are uneven, ranging from martial artists who can deal with Song Tiancheng to members who assassinate ordinary people.

This force should not be underestimated, the tentacles are too wide, don't forget that this is still the capital in the hinterland of the imperial court. If there is no one behind it, Gu Qing will not believe it if he kills it.

Murong Qing's voice sounded outside: "Gu Qing, someone is here." ”

When Gu Qing heard this, he walked outside the door and pointed to the well: "Dive down and take a look, give me the map." ”

Unfolding the map, Gu Qing roughly swept it, and a sudden look appeared in his eyes: "Murong Qing, if you go to find the people from the Stargazing Academy as soon as possible, you may already have a clue." ”

"What do you mean?" Murong Qing leaned over.

Gu Qing scratched his head and poked his fingers at a few points: "It should be the means of an evil martial artist, a kind of formation." But I don't know if it's right or wrong, just go to the stargazing institute and ask. ”

On the way to Zhao Wuyuan before, Zhao Wuyuan had nothing to do to popularize about feng shui, topography and other strange things, and Gu Qing remembered one of them very deeply.

Zhao Wuyuan said that when encountering weirdness, first compare the five elements, seven stars, gossip, nine palaces and other things to see if they can be correct, and then observe the surrounding layout, after connecting with each other, whether it is similar to a certain shape.

This is the first step for Qimen people to distinguish before doing things, and it is also the most simple and easy-to-understand means of discernment.

Of course, simplicity does not mean that everyone knows, as the so-called ten years of hard research is not as good as a famous teacher, that is, this truth, if you don't tell you something, you really don't know.

After all, this thing is barely enough to get a job, to be honest.

In terms of Gu Qing's acting skills and pretend to be more level, I am afraid that he will become more handy when he pretends to be a magic stick.

Murong Qing was extremely surprised: "There is still this truth?"

In fact, they didn't think about this matter at all, otherwise, they wouldn't have let Gu Qing find out about it.

At this time, with a splash of water, a person came out and shouted: "My lord, there is indeed a road below, but the villain does not have enough time to hold his breath and can't hold his breath." ”

"Come on. Gu Qing waved his hand and turned to look at the house: "There is a condensing incense in the house, do you know?"

Murong Qing nodded: "I know, this is one of the suspicions, why use condensing incense to deal with ordinary people? ”

"You don't need to check, you can't find anything on this. ”

Gu Qing's eyebrows stretched, and his face showed coldness: "Why do you use condensing incense to deal with ordinary people?" It's very simple, because if the murderer doesn't rely on this thing, he can't deal with this family. ”

Murong Qing couldn't help but retort: "This family is an ordinary person. ”

Gu Qing stared at him meaningfully: "No, he's not." Although he is not a martial artist, in terms of experience, the owner of this house is definitely up and down for half a lifetime. ”

"......" Murong Qing looked at him for a while, couldn't help but stagger his eyes, and remained silent and said no more.

Gu Qing smiled, eased the atmosphere a little, and said softly: "Take me to a few other places to see, but I guess, there shouldn't be any condensing incense in other places, right?"

Murong Qingqiang laughed a few times, wanting to refute and say something, but when he touched Gu Qing's indifferent gaze like looking at a dead man, his heart unconsciously shortened, and he nodded slightly.

"I don't care who he is, I don't care who the person behind you is. Gu Qing leaned into his ear and whispered, "But Your Excellency must remember, I don't want to offset the merits and demerits this time, understand?"

After that, without waiting for him to answer, Gu Qing suddenly turned around and faced these yachas: "Go and check, check the classics, go to the stargazing courtyard to ask, or start to check from the previous dynasty, I want to know all the signs of the lotus pattern, as well as the related feng shui formations." ”

Gu Qing asked someone to bring a carbon bar, circled it in several places of the dead man, and then connected it in series, end to end, and the carbon bar was poked at one point: "Some people want chaos in the capital, fish in troubled waters, wait for the opportunity to move, and the purpose is unknown."

The forces in the capital are intricate, criss-crossed, and colluded with each other, but ...... What can reach so far is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do, you should understand my words. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Qing deeply, threw the map into his arms, and strode away from the place.

Murong Qing subconsciously wanted to follow, but his right foot was just raised, and he came back to his senses and put it down, pinching the map in his arms, and hurriedly went out for a long time.

Gu Qing went south, he went north, and he went the opposite way.
