Verse 253: The Deserted Mansion Gathers

"Neither." After hearing the old man's inquiry, Zhang Su shook his head and replied while looking around at the antique jade objects around him in a novel way.

"Aren't you here to buy something?" Hearing Zhang Su's answer, the old man gently put a jade Buddha statue with blue spots in his hand on the counter table, and asked Zhang Su puzzled.

"I'm here to ask Mr. Wu Miao about something, and I don't buy anything." Zhang Su nodded and replied.

"Inquiring about something? What do you want me to give? Or do you want me to help you pull the fiber? Hearing Zhang Su's answer, the old man frowned and continued to ask.

"No, Mr. Tian Zhongzheng left some information on the deserted house case with Mr. Wu, right? Trouble Mr. Wu to hand it over to the next one, and then plan to go to the deserted house to find out. Zhang Su shook his head, and then bowed his hand lightly at the old man.

"You're a soul master? That's ......, wait a minute. After Zhang Su finished explaining his intentions, the old man pushed open a small fan-shaped door connected to the counter and the outside, and his short and fat figure swayed out of the counter, he first nodded expressionlessly at Zhang Su, and then bypassed Zhang Su, walked to the door of the store, locked the door of the store from the inside, turned over the hanging card that was temporarily closed, closed the curtain of the grass that shaded the sun, and skillfully completed this series of actions before returning to Zhang Su.

Zhang Su looked at the room that darkened instantly, and didn't show any special expression, just stood quietly in the small shop space, waiting for the old man to finish these preparations.

"Credentials." After the old man arrived in front of Zhang Su, he did not give the information directly to Zhang Su, but stretched out a hand at Zhang Su and asked.

"Hmm." Zhang Su nodded in response, and then put a hand on the old man's hand, and slightly injected a little soul power into the old man's palm.

After a few seconds, the old man's hand suddenly glowed with mottled blue light, which completely illuminated the dim antique shop, but the light did not last long, only a few seconds later, the light gradually faded, and finally disappeared.

"You have passed my test, which proves that you are indeed a pure soul master, let's say, what kind of information do you want to inquire about, I Wu Miao knows everything." After the light faded away, the old man nodded, as if he recognized Zhang Su's identity as a soul master, and said.

"Then trouble Mr. Wu, in fact, I already knew a little bit about the general situation of the deserted house case when I accepted the reward, but I still want to know more about some details, so I rushed to Mr. Wu to ask for advice before going to the deserted house, first of all, I want to know, how did the inference about the death of Mr. Wu and Mr. Tian Zhongzheng's mutual friend Fan Shi come about, that is, how did Mr. Tian presume the incident to be a ghost murder without arriving in the capital?" Seeing that the old man had already recognized himself, Zhang Wei nodded and asked.

"Actually, I'm not a soul master like you and Mr. Tian, so naturally I can't have any knowledge of the existence of ghosts and ghosts, one

The inferences were all made by Mr. Tian, but because Mr. Tian simply informed me of the contents of the inferences, so I also know a little about Mr. Tian's ghost murder theory is based on three points, the first point is that Mr. Fan's strange place of death is in a dilapidated and deserted house in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, not to mention that it is very far from Mr. Fan's home and place of work, even if people who are relatively close to there, they usually do not go there. After Zhang Su asked, the old man did not take any shelf in front of Zhang Su, but the regulations clearly stated. ζ‰‹ζœΊη«― δΈ€η§’θ¨˜δ½γ€Žβ†’m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.

"In other words, with the trajectory of Mr. Fan's life, it is a very unusual phenomenon to appear in that place, right?" Hearing the old man's explanation, Zhang Su nodded, and then asked.

"That's right, Mr. Tian Zhongzheng also said the same, Mr. Fan's place of death is not in his regular life trajectory, so this is a strange point." After Zhang Su summed up the question, the old man looked at Zhang Su with blazing eyes, as if he had heard the same thing said by others.

"It is indeed a strange thing for a person who is not seeking death to die outside the trajectory of his life, but this is not enough to directly infer that it was done by a ghost, if it is possible to say that he was killed by someone for money, kidnapped and murdered, then what is the second point?" After the old man confirmed, Zhang Su pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"The second point is strange about the monitoring along the way outside the deserted house, judging from the surveillance footage retrieved by the police to Mr. Fan's family, Mr. Fan did walk all the way to the deserted house from the place where he worked without being kidnapped and threatened, but his eyes were a little dull, and there didn't seem to be too many abnormal behaviors on the whole." The old man nodded, then continued.

"No one kidnaps and threatens to coerce? It is possible that the ghost will use some kind of soul technique to bewitch him or be directly possessed, but it is not excluded that someone will remotely control Mr. Fan after threatening him. After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Su rubbed his chin and pondered.

"Well, indeed, but there is a third point, that is, Mr. Fan carried a gold leaf medallion, when the medal was found as a relic, the golden color on it has turned into a rusty black color, and according to Mr. Tian when he gave me this medallion, this medal can sense the health of the wearer's soul, if the wearer's soul has a problem, the gold leaf will change color according to the degree of the soul's problem, and turning into a rusty black color means that the soul is completely dead, In other words, when Mr. Fan's body was found, his soul was no longer there. After Zhang Su pondered, the old man continued to explain to Zhang Su, and then took out a golden medallion from the keychain on his waist and handed it to Zhang Su.

"How long had Mr. Fan been dead when his body was found?" Zhang Su took the round card and glanced at it, and then used his soul power to probe into it, and saw that it was indeed a simple Horcrux, he frowned and asked, he knew that although the body function of a person stagnates after death, the soul will turn into a primordial soul and wander in the world for a period of time, as long as it is not devoured by other souls and ghosts, the soul will not die easily, so when he heard that Mr. Fan's soul has died, he feels that the soul is a ghost

It is more likely that Mr. Fan will be harmed.

"Mr. Fan is not young like me, he is sixty-one, although he has been in good spirits, but his family has been afraid that he will have Alzheimer's one day, so when he found that he could not be contacted, he quickly went to the police station to report the case, the police station found his figure according to the surveillance video in some places, and finally found the deserted house, and found that Mr. Fan died inside, according to the police's inference, Mr. Fan's time from death to discovery was about twenty-three hours, less than a full day." The old man thought for a moment, and then replied truthfully.

"It's really a bit abnormal to die in just twenty-three hours, so the probability of being killed by a ghost before death is at least ninety percent, but I'm still a little puzzled, Mr. Tian Zhongzheng is said to have an excellent reputation in the soul master world, with his reputation, there should be a lot of soul master friends in the capital, why don't you just entrust a friend to investigate the deserted house? Why spend money on bounty posting? Zhang Su nodded, and then asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"It is precisely because Mr. Tian has too many soul master friends, so he is reluctant to directly entrust those so-called friends, once the entrusting who does not entrust whom, there will always be some misunderstandings, whether to pay some commissions for the person who helps, and will be criticized by others, so Mr. Tian decided to go directly to the bounty grand view to hang this bounty, and find outsiders to investigate this incident at a high price, you received the bounty from the bounty grand view before you came to me, right?" After Zhang Su asked, the old man squinted his eyes slightly and smiled, and replied. TV updates the fastest //

"So that's the case, no wonder, it seems that too many friends are also a problem...... well, I roughly understand the situation, I'll go to the deserted house these days to investigate, I'm not sure what I can investigate, but if there are results, I will come to report to Mr. Wu." After the old man answered, Zhang Su suddenly nodded with a smile, handed back the gold leaf medallion, and then prepared to walk towards the door.

"Please wait a minute, this soul master friend, since you have accepted the bounty we issued, there are some things I still have to make clear to you, for now, no soul master has completed the task we issued, that is to say, no one among the soul masters who have been to the deserted mansion has not found the accurate proof of the cause of Mr. Fan's death, if you want a bounty, you will give me accurate proof when you come back later, not your self-judgment, understand?" Seeing that Zhang Su was about to leave, the old man put away the gold leaf medallion, walked to the locked door, and turned his head to remind Zhang Su.

"Understood." Zhang Su nodded and replied, and then after the old man folded the curtain and opened the door of the shop, he left the rubble antique shop and strode towards the outside of the hat ear alley.

Leaving Mao'er Hutong, Zhang Su found a nearby subway station, squeezed into a subway bound for the northwest suburbs, barely found a place in the subway full of passengers, and followed the subway quickly in the direction of the deserted house.

After seven or eight stops, Zhang Su got off the subway at a station called Xuanhua Street according to the navigation prompts, and from then on he was one subway stop

Exit the station at the west exit and continue walking in the northwest direction.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhang Su was bypassing the corner of a tattered collection station surrounded by red bricks, and finally saw the deserted house covered with moss, vines and tigers, which looked very terrifying and dark, and saw that the deserted house was blocked by yellow police seals as a whole, and white seals were still pasted on the broken doors and windows.

"Big brother, there seems to be someone inside." Just as Zhang Su was looking at the door of the deserted mansion, the wraith seemed to sense something and reminded Zhang Su.

"I know, you see the front of a police car exposed at the corner over there, there should be police collecting evidence inside, but I don't know where the evidence has been collected." Hearing the reminder of the wraith, Zhang Su said thoughtfully, when he completed the soul hunting bounty in Qicheng before, he also had to deal with the current police, because he had to sneak into the crime scene where there might be ghosts to investigate or arrest ghosts, and avoid being detained by the police as a criminal suspect, so he could only try to understand some police case handling guidelines, and stagger the time of police investigation, so that he could sneak into the scene to complete the soul hunting task.

"Then big brother, let's ......" Seeing Zhang Su thinking, the wraith was eager to try, and wanted to say something more.

"It's not clear whether there are ghosts or ghosts in it for the time being, you can't blindly go out of the body, you don't just go in to investigate, it's not good to damage the cultivation in vain, wait outside for the time being, wait for those policemen to get off work, and then we will sneak in, although there are fence seals, but some leafless broken windows can still be directly turned in, we will enter from there later." Sensing the acceleration of the wraith's soul power fluctuations, Zhang Su knew that the wraith had the idea of attacking, but he didn't want the wraith to take risks unprepared, shook his head, and then arranged.

"Okay, I just don't know when those cops will leave, and I don't know if there are any police officers on temporary duty around here?" After being rejected by Zhang Su, the wraith was somewhat discouraged, and then worried.

"Judging from my soul power perception, there should be six policemen in this deserted house who are still investigating inside, in addition to the six people inside, there are two people outside guarding the scene, a total of eight policemen are in this vicinity, it is already half past five in the afternoon, according to the time they commute to and from work, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to leave here, if you want to say whether you will keep someone on temporary duty, this is not easy to say, even if you keep people, you won't stay too much, and at night, the people who stay will not live in this dead man's deserted house to keep vigil, We shouldn't be aware of it if we sneak in at that point. Zhang Su avoided the eyes of the police, looked around the deserted mansion, and then judged simply.

"Okay, then I'll accompany my eldest brother here to wait for the night." After Zhang Su judged, the wraith nodded and regained his interest.

"Wait for the night? Haha, don't worry, let's go and meet with a few other people first, it seems that there are many people who have the same plan as me! After the wraith spoke, Zhang Wei smiled, took out the Wukong mask again, put it on his face, and leaned towards the deserted house

A bungalow compound not far away, he walked and spoke.

"Someone else? Sure enough, there were some unusual soul power fluctuations over there, and it didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it......" When Zhang Su walked towards the bungalow compound, the wraith also released his soul power to probe in that direction, and sure enough, he sensed some soul power, and said with a frown.

After the wraith sensed, Zhang Su continued to walk in the direction of the bungalow compound, walked thirty or forty steps, and came to the root of the wall of a dilapidated bungalow compound, and then opened the body soul technique, found a position that no one noticed, turned over and jumped into the compound, hiding the soul power towards those soul power fluctuations and quietly approaching.

"Ha, there are a lot of people, but it seems that there is an old friend again, come out, don't hide." Just when Zhang Su was constantly approaching those soul power fluctuations, from the direction of soul power fluctuations, a clear soul sound accompanied by the breeze came into Zhang Su's ears, making Zhang Su feel his soul tremble.

"Has it been discovered?" If it weren't for the sound of soul power transmission, Zhang Su could still think that this voice was spoken to others, but now this voice was obviously aimed at his soul power transmission, which made Zhang Su understand that his deeds had indeed been exposed, so he no longer approached quietly, but strode towards the source of the sound while wearing Wukong's mask, and entered a shed similar to a pigshed.

"Heh, it turned out to be Wukong, I didn't expect you to choose to execute this reward first, now it's okay, the team to learn the scriptures is ready, haha......" After Zhang Su appeared, a scar-faced man shook the sand monk mask in his hand and said with a laugh.

"Ha, it's true, the senior brother who can change seventy-two times, subdue demons and eliminate demons is here, wearing a mask to hide his soul power, and I didn't even notice the fluctuation of soul power on his body." After the scar-faced man spoke, a tall, thin young man, with a cigarette in his mouth and a special knife in his hand, swung back and forth, but could still speak softly and slowly.

"The mask of the Plum Blossom Society can't completely conceal the emanation of soul power, and there are still some soul power fluctuations that can be detected, didn't you find out just now that I'm not like that? However, this Wukong brother did not even have the slightest ripple of soul power on his body, which means that he has other hidden soul abilities, which seems to be extraordinary. A man wearing a Tang monk mask looked at Zhang Su and spoke, smacking his lips as he spoke, obviously a little curious about the real body under Zhang Su's mask.

"Huh? It's true that no soul power emanates from his body, it's strange, Brother Ma, how did you find him? After the man wearing the mask of Tang Seng spoke, the scar-faced man with the mask of the sand monk seemed to have discovered this problem, and asked a middle-aged man in a railway uniform, and the middle-aged man was holding a horse-faced mask that had appeared in the Plum Blossom Society's bounty grand view.

"Is that the soul power transmission you sent to me?" After the scar-faced man turned his gaze to the middle-aged man in the railway uniform, Zhang Su also looked away in surprise and asked.

"I don't have a strong perception of soul power, but because of the influence of my soul skills, I have a sense of voice

Keen perception, whether it is the voice of the present world or the voice of the soul realm, can be clearly perceived and discerned, just now Wukong's old friend walked all the way from the deserted house, climbed over the wall of this uninhabited bungalow compound, a series of behaviors are not silent, so I can naturally hear it, I know what Wukong's old friend is worried about, but don't worry, everyone is just eating together, and there is no grievance in itself, so they will gather here, if Wukong old friend does not want people to perceive the true face, you can continue to wear the mask, If you don't care about showing your true face, you can also take it off for breathe, no one here will force it. After Zhang Su's questioning, the middle-aged man nodded at Zhang Su friendlyly, and then spoke, although his tone was very peaceful, but his eyes were full of curiosity about Zhang Su, obviously he still wanted Zhang Su to show up.

"I see, but I'm sorry, I came to this grand view to accept the reward because of the lack of money, but there are some reasons that I can't show my true face, so I'll wear this mask first, but don't worry, I don't know you here, so I naturally don't have the intention of harming people, and I hope you understand." After the middle-aged man spoke, Zhang Su did not take off his mask, and responded with a smile in a female voice conjured up by the mask.

"Originally, I wanted to see who was competing with me for the Ye family's reward, but it seems that I can't get what I want." Just after Zhang Su responded, the man in the fox mask appeared out of nowhere, leaned against a stone mill, and glanced at Zhang Su.
