Chapter 2: Zhao Liang's Discovery
[The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Zhao Liang and the policemen hurried to the lotus pond, and at the same time sent Brother Wang to invite Mu Qingming. In the small courtyard of the Mu family, Mu Qingming, Mo Han and Miao Jue studied the recent events, and after the case gradually became clear, Mu Qingming thought that the container of the Emperor Mother of the Pear could be perfectly integrated with the container if it devoured forty-four more resentful spirits. Draw out Mu Qingming for Mo Han and wonderful, and explain in detail why it is forty-four resentful spirits. On the other side, Zhao Liang, who felt the lotus pond, saw that the female corpse that was fished ashore not only had no face, but even her lower body was missing. Holding back his anger, after taking a closer look at the corpse, he found an important clue in it. 】
Outside the house, the sky gradually dawned, and the white mist slowly rose from the ground, filling the streets and alleys to shroud the city of Kunming in a haze.
"You forgot to count the twenty-eight women who were used to set up the formation." Mu Qingming sighed lightly, and after a little regret appeared in his eyes, he said to Mo Han and Miao Jue: "Plus the twenty-eight dead babies in their wombs, all of them are bound to become resentful spirits who died tragically. But one of them was saved by me, so if the Immortal Dao was really refining resentful spirits and feeding the Heli Emperor Mother hiding in the container, then there would still be forty-four resentful spirits missing. ”。
After he said this, Mo Han and Miao Jue reacted.
Indeed, with their understanding of the Immortal Dao, the other party's cult organization is not only powerful, but also acts in an orderly manner, and its purpose is very strong.
If, as Mu Qingming had expected, they needed resentful spirits to feed the Heli Emperor Mother so that they could fuse perfectly with the container, then those resentful spirits under the Red Palace Resentful Spirit Array would definitely not be turned a blind eye by the Immortal Dao.
The only miscalculation was that the soul in the body of one of the dead babies had not yet completely come out of the body, so Mu Qingming took advantage of the situation to capture the last remaining soul in the baby's body, and cast a spell to confine it to the dead corpse and make it into a corpse baby.
The resentful spirit produced by this corpse infant lacked one soul and one soul after reaching the hands of the Immortal Dao, and the effect was by no means as good as that of a resentful spirit with three souls and seven souls.
After Miao Jue saw Mu Qingming suddenly curl the corners of his mouth and reveal a treacherous smile, he suddenly knew that his young master actually kept a hand when he saw the corpse baby.
What's more, it's just a resentful spirit that lacks a soul and a soul, and you can't see it if you don't check it carefully. If Changshengdao ate this resentful spirit to the Emperor Mother of Heli in such a daze, then she would never think about combining perfectly with the container, and naturally she would not be able to turn the sky upside down.
If everything was correct in the previous guesses, then Mu Qingming's move would be tantamount to invisibly putting a big trap on the Immortal Dao.
Miao Jue looked at him four times, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly. And Mo Han is not stupid, after thinking about it for a while in combination with the characteristics of the corpse baby, he also thought of this point that Mu Qingming had already left a hand, so when he cast an admiring gaze at Mu Qingming, he thought about it again before slowly asking: "How do you know that if you lack a soul and a resentful spirit, the effect will be weakened?" ”。
Only she didn't think about this question for a while; After all, techniques such as refining resentful spirits or feeding containers resentful spirits belong to the category of evil arts.
"Wood is a dragon locker who takes demon suppression and demon eradication as his mission, so he shouldn't know so many details of evil arts, right?" , put his hands on his cheeks, and Mo Han, who looked at Mu Qingming with interest, thought so in his heart.
"Actually, I don't know that very well." Then Mu Qingming said lightly disapprehantly.
As soon as these words came out, Ben was still looking forward to him talking about it, and Mo Han, who had a long experience, almost fell.
"Still." Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingming actually raised his head slightly, stared at the roof of the house with his index finger, scratched his cheek unhurriedly, and said leisurely: "But everything in the world is connected, since our ancestors mentioned that the resentful spirit is a tonic for the container, then I think it must be the same as a tonic; If there is a lack of a soul and a ghost, the effect of the medicine will definitely be weakened. ”。
"Alas!" After Mo Han let out a long sigh, he said with a little disappointment: "It turns out that you don't know if this bottom is effective?" ”。
"And what if it works?" Mu Qingming, who was a little unconvinced when he heard this, replied angrily.
As soon as the words landed, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door outside the study. After the three of them in the study looked at each other when they heard this, they turned their heads to look at the light of the sky outside the window, and joked with a smile: "Could it be that our Inspector Zhao walked halfway and found that it was dawn, and turned back to have breakfast?" ”。
"Alright, let's go check it out." Mu Qingming also smiled, and at the same time waved his hand to open the door.
At the end, he didn't forget to explain the wonderful: "If it's really Zhao Liang who comes back, remember to collect breakfast money." ”。
"Got it." After answering loudly, Miao Jue had already strode out of the study.
After a while, the sound of the door opening came from the gate of the small courtyard. After a pause, Mu Qingxi heard Miao absolutely say outside the door again: "Aren't you the little policeman you only saw on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”。
"Hello." Then Brother Wang's voice sounded at the courtyard gate: "Is Young Master Mu at home?" Our inspector asked him to go to the lotus pond to solve the case. ”。
Mu Qingming and Mo Han glanced at each other after hearing this, then got up and walked out of the study one after another, walking slowly towards the courtyard gate......
The surrounding forests are towering to the sky, the lotus pond with rippling blue waves in the pond is located at the foot of Shang Mountain in the northwest of Yuantong Mountain in Kunming, there is a water mouth on the side of the pool, and the pool water will flow into the Panlong River when the water is full.
According to historical records: this lotus pond originated in the Tang Dynasty, and it is unknown who built it. I only know that there are five longans that have been flowing from the clear spring, and the flow has become this pond. But in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was one of the six views of Dianyang, and it had the reputation of Longchi Yuejin.
Because the pond is full of lotus flowers, the lotus flowers in a pond are even more beautiful when the flowers are blooming. Ten acres of lotus fish world have been formed, and the beautiful scenery of central Yunnan with willows blowing the towers in half the city.
Of course, this is not the most famous place in the lotus pond; The most famous thing about the lotus pond is that it used to be Chen Yuanyuan's residence, and Wu Sangui built a palace for Chen Yuanyuan here, called Anfu Garden; It means long-term peace, and it is also the name of the two buildings in the garden, Yan'an Hall and Hufu Hall.
It is said that Anfu Garden is a Suzhou garden, and the overall layout imitates the construction of the Retreat Garden. Wu Sangui did this just to make Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in the water town of Jiangnan, feel like he is in his hometown, and he can see the scenery of Jiangnan everywhere.
As for the construction of this garden, Wu Sangui seems to have dug countless tombs, and Ming robbed a lot of famous flowers and stones in the gentry's house; Of course, for a person like him who can switch and release the soldiers to enter the customs when he is angry, it seems that this stain is also a lice, and he is not afraid of bites.
Not only that, but the lotus pond is also the place where Chen Yuanyuan ended his life. It is said that after Wu Sangui's failure against the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing army entered Yunnan, in order to retain the last integrity, Chen Yuanyuan chose to commit suicide in Shentang. I don't know if Chen Yuanyuan was too lazy to choose a place, anyway, the place she chose in the end was this lotus pond.
And Anfu Garden was also destroyed in the war. Once the garden where the warblers sang and danced every day, the willows by the pond were still green, fat, red and thin, and only countless ruins and broken walls were still telling the prosperity of the past, waiting for its owner to come back.
Because it has been abandoned for many years, it has become a wild garden full of desolation and desolation, so some people once used the phrase "the old fox scholar worships the moon at night, and the peach blossoms have ghosts to summon spirits" to describe this dilapidated garden.
When Zhao Liang hurried to the lotus pond, the first few people who rushed to the scene had already gone into the water to pick up the floating corpses in the water and put them in the reeds by the pool.
Although at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the British Consulate in Kunming built a garden here. But this place is already a suburb of Kunming, and it is inevitable that it will be inaccessible. There was no one to take care of it around, the weeds were growing wildly on the edge of the lotus pond, and it was dawn again, the sky was only slightly bright, and when he saw the several female corpses that were salvaged and swollen, Zhao Liang still couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
When I walked in and looked at the speed of light with a flashlight, I saw the wrinkled and whitish female corpses, lying neatly on the edge of the pool. Judging from the pale and puffy skin of the corpse, it should have been soaked in water for a long time.
The clothes on the corpses were gone, their faces were brutally cut off, and their lower bodies were cut off in pieces. The exposed flesh and bones were gnawed beyond recognition by the fish in the pool. There are even several female corpses whose eyes have been gnawed by fish, and their appearance has to be said to be weird and terrifying.
It was the first time that several younger policemen saw the deceased who had been so brutally killed, and they all hurried to find a secluded place, holding the willow trunk in their hands and bending their heads down, and vomiting.
Even a policeman like Zhao Liang, who was used to seeing a lot of big scenes, couldn't help frowning. I couldn't help but think of the transparent red palace that Mu Qingming brought out from the grievance well, which was connected to the woman's lower body.
Seeing that Liu Yang had already come, after inspecting the corpse, Zhao Liang simply handed over the inquest to him in advance, walked to a policeman who came to the scene first, and asked slowly: "Who found these corpses first?" ”。
The policeman raised his hand to wipe the vomit residue hanging from the corner of his mouth, and pointed to the two old men over half a hundred years old who were under the care of two policemen not far away: "Show the porter of the courtyard to the British, and say that he came out of the pool to release water (the meaning of peeing and urinating), and when he peed, he saw a corpse floating in the pool." ”。
Zhao Liang followed the direction of his finger, looked at the two cramped and restless old men, walked over slowly after a little thought, stood opposite the two old men who were pale with fright, dull faces and frightened eyes, first gave them a cigarette, and slowly asked: "Two fathers, what's going on?" ”。
As he spoke, he took out the foreign fire, and the two old men who trembled and took the paper cigarette in their mouths, and their hands were still trembling, lit the paper cigarettes one by one.
One of them, an old man with a crooked goatee, took two big puffs of cigarette and said tremblingly: "I will sleep until the second half of the night, get up and put some water." When he walked to the edge of the pool and released the water, the surface of the water suddenly boiled like boiling water, and then, he, and they all floated. ”。
"From the bottom of the pool?" Zhao Liang's brows furrowed a little tighter.
The old man didn't speak again, but nodded slightly.
Zhao Liang was also stupid when he saw their appearance, and he might not be able to ask anything if he wanted to, so he simply said to the two old men: "It's hard." After that, he turned around and walked towards Liu Yang.
When he stood beside Liu Yang, before he could speak, his eyes suddenly glanced at the five fingers of the right hand of one of the female corpses. Zhao Liang was slightly stunned, then stood beside the female corpse, shone his head between the fingers of the woman's right hand, and his eyes followed the flashlight light to the swollen knuckles of the female corpse.
After carefully looking at the fingers of different lengths for a while, Zhao Liang, who was gradually showing suspicion on his face, couldn't help but let out, "Huh? An exclamation.
What is Zhao Liang wondering about? What was the mystery in the fingers of the female corpse that he was looking at? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
