Chapter 178: Exotic Customs
"What did you say?"
Wei Teng thought he had misheard and looked at Gu Ming in disbelief.
To say that Gu Ming is not a narrow-minded person, but he can't tolerate someone to ridicule him in person again and again.
"Get out!"
This time, Gu Ming was even more ruthless, and directly popped out a word.
But the power of this word is not small.
It actually shocked Wei Teng's heart, as if something had been knocked hard, and his blood and qi became a little disordered, and his face turned pale.
Now, he finally realized that he had completely lost his eyes.
One word made him lose his mind.
If you start to do it...... On his forehead, a dense layer of cold sweat suddenly soaked.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly got up and saluted: "I'm sorry, Wei has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so he is offended!" ”
Gu Ming replied lazily and raised his hand.
"Yes, yes, Wei is leaving, this is leaving!"
After saying that, he walked away.
On the other side, the two subordinates who remained in the courtyard witnessed this scene and couldn't help but look at each other.
Because they couldn't understand why Wei Teng had changed so quickly.
"You watch here, I'll go talk to the master."
A moment later, one of the men whispered to his accomplice, and then ran out of the small courtyard on the west side with a puff of smoke.
In the small courtyard room, the clerk was softly coaxing his wife to eat something.
In fact, how can he not grieve in his heart?
It's just that he is the pillar of the family, and no matter how sad and painful his heart is, he has to hold on, once he falls, the family will be over.
"Old man......"
"What's the matter?"
Ren Wai turned around a little impatiently and drank.
"Master Wei is gone......"
"Huh?"
Ren Yuanwai was taken aback, and quickly put down the bowl and walked out.
"What's going on? Wasn't it good just now? Why did you leave all of a sudden? ”
"Master, as soon as you left, Master Wei seemed to have squeezed the scholar again. As a result, the scholar shouted and got out, and Master Wei really left. ”
"Huh? This...... Shouldn't this be? ”
Ren was a little surprised, after all, Wei Teng's previous performance was very strong, how could he admit defeat and leave because of a rolling word?
"Master, the little ones can't figure it out. However, Master Wei seemed to be very frightened at the time, and he also apologized to the scholar, saying that he didn't know Mount Tai if he had eyes. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Ren Yuanwai's face was shocked, and then he hurried into the house to comfort his wife, and then walked to the backyard.
"I'm sorry, I made Gu Gongzi wait for a long time."
"Master Ren's words are serious...... By the way, I don't know what Mrs. Ling's current status is? ”
When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The state is worrying, I don't speak, I don't eat or drink, and the whole person seems to have lost my soul." ”
"If you don't let the old man help Mrs. Ling to the courtyard, maybe there will be a way to restore her spirit a little."
"Great!" Ren was pleasantly surprised, and immediately turned around and ordered Yahuan: "Quick, go and help Mrs. out." ”
"Yes!"
After Yahuan left, Ren Yuanwai couldn't help but salute Gu Ming: "Gu Gongzi, please forgive me if the old man was negligent before." ”
Gu Ming cupped his fists and replied: "Master Ren is polite...... Before, the surnamed Wei had some things here that I couldn't say for me.
In fact, after my initial investigation, I have already seen some clues. ”
"Oh? So there's a clue? ”
"I can only say that I have a little clue. According to my preliminary inference, the mutilation of Ling Qianjin's ...... It doesn't have to be a demon! ”
Ren Yuanwai was taken aback: "It's not a demon? That...... What would that be? ”
Or maybe it was done by people in the evil way. Because what I have sensed is an evil aura, not an ordinary demonic aura.
According to the current situation, the other party's hiding place should be in the city. ”
In fact, Gu Ming still has reservations.
Earlier, he sensed a trace of a familiar aura in the deceased's body.
Thinking about it carefully, this kind of aura is somewhat similar to the breath of the monk Kuma in the Western Regions, and it is suspected that it was done by someone outside the territory.
Although it was just a suspicion, at least it gave Gu Ming a direction for investigation, which was better than having no clue.
"That'...... If it's not a demon, can you inform the government and start a city-wide search? ”
Gu Ming shook his head: "It's useless to search and arrest the whole city, it will only startle the snake." Moreover, most of the people in the government now believe that it is evil spirits.
In addition, I need to know the details of the families of the four daughters who were killed, including their birth dates......"
"Well, this problem shouldn't be big, and the old man will send someone to inquire in a while."
"That's very good...... By the way, there is one more thing, is there a wealthy businessman surnamed Wei in this Dafeng County? ”
Ren Yuanwai nodded: "There is only one rich businessman surnamed Wei...... What's the matter, Gu Gongzi doesn't know someone from the Wei family? ”
"I don't know, I was entrusted by someone to inquire on my behalf. What is the reputation of this Wei family in Dafeng County? ”
As soon as he heard this, Ren Yuanwai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This ...... The old man is hard to say. ”
The Wei family started by relying on darts in Dafeng County, and later got involved in businesses, green buildings, gambling houses and other industries, which can be said to be the last.
The "Qunfang Building" operated under his name is even more famous, which makes many men in the county flock to it.
Because, Qunfanglou is the only exotic Fengyue place in the county, and there are several Persian women from the far west.
The Wei family's style has always been domineering, and once they get into trouble, most of them don't have any good fruit to eat.
Including the staff, he was also a little jealous, and he didn't know much about Gu Ming's details, so he naturally didn't dare to say that the Wei family was not.
However, he didn't say a word, but it actually revealed the meaning of his words.
Gu Ming no longer asked about this matter, and began to ask about some other aspects.
After chatting for a while, the two maids came over with their ladies in their arms.
Gu Ming raised his eyes and saw that Mrs. Ren was much younger than Master Ren, and it was estimated that she was in her thirties, so she must not be the original match.
"Madame, slow down~"
Master Ren was very fond of Madame, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Madame sit on the chair.
Then he comforted in a soft voice: "Madam, this Gu Gongzi is a real master, he has found a clue, I believe that he will be able to find out the murderer and avenge our daughter." ”
This sentence finally made Mrs. Ren have a hint of reaction.
However, he only glanced at Gu Ming unconsciously, his expression was still dumb and demented, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations at all.
This is difficult for Gu Ming, and it is his forte.
"Mrs. Ren, I know you are very sad in your heart, and it is the same for anyone else, after all, the separation of flesh and blood is a great tragedy in life.
But you can't choose to run away either.
As Master Ren said, I have sorted out some clues at present, and I will definitely find out the culprit as soon as possible......"
After persuading for a while, Mrs. Ren suddenly burst into tears, and fell into her husband's arms and cried.
Just know how to cry!
In this way, we can relieve the grief and pressure that have been suppressed in our hearts.
……
In the afternoon, the personnel assigned by the staff collected all the information on the four victims.
Gu Ming studied carefully for a while, and finally found a common point: although the four girls are different in age, they have the same fate, and they were all born when the moon and the sun were cloudy.
This is no coincidence.
After all, there are not many women with this kind of personality, and they are all daughters in the prime of their cardamom years.
From this, it can be inferred that the other party is likely to capture these women with special physique in order to cultivate some kind of evil skill.
The most hateful thing is that the murderer didn't even let go of his soul, so that these unjustly killed women lost the opportunity to reincarnate forever, leaving only an empty body in the world.
Such evil demons are crooked, and it is difficult to quench the anger in my heart if I don't crush them!
If there is no clear goal, it is difficult to search for a person on your own.
Fortunately, Gu Ming has almost targeted the people of the Western Regions.
According to Ren Yuanwai, there are about two or three hundred people from the Western Regions in Dafeng County, and there are still many mobile ones on weekdays, after all, it is relatively close to the capital.
Most of these people from the Western Regions live in the western part of the city.
So, let's start with the west of the city.
Gu Ming's method of finding the target is very simple, and the range of the clear detection can reach a radius of tens of meters, just like a radar.
He doesn't need to confirm it alone, as long as he passes through the range of skills, he can detect the opponent's breath and judge whether the opponent is the culprit.
As a result, they sneaked around the area inhabited by the Hu people but found nothing.
Almost all of the people who live here are ordinary Hu merchants, and only a few Hu people are barely aliens, but their aura is relatively weak, and it is not the same as the residual aura that Gu Ming sensed before.
Do you have to search the whole city one by one?
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of one thing, and he also missed an important place: Qunfang Building.
Since there are Persian women in the Qunfang Building, it is enough to prove that the Wei family has close contacts with those people from the Western Regions.
Moreover, the Wei family started from running a dart bureau and has a deep background and relationship.
At the same time, the second bolt is also the son-in-law of the Wei family, so the two things will be done together.
With such a thought, Gu Ming immediately jumped off the roof, and then found a passer-by to ask for the next way, and found Qunfang Building all the way.
Sure enough, the street is a three-storey wooden building with carved beams and paintings, and many lanterns are hung from the roof to the door, making the whole building look more splendid and magnificent.
"Yo, this boy is really extraordinary, quick, please inside!"
Gu Ming was looking up, and an old woman walked over with a smile on her face.
"Hmm~"
Gu Ming nodded reservedly and walked in with the old mother.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a spacious hall with more than a dozen tables, and business is quite good, with almost ten tables of customers in twos and threes.
Directly in front of the hall is a semicircular stage on which two Persian women are dancing wildly to the tune.
The strong exotic style, as well as the action of hooking fingers and throwing eye waves from time to time, made many men in the audience crazy, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Of course, the consumption here is not low.
Even just sitting down for a cup of tea costs a tael of silver, and of course, you can also enjoy a hot Persian dance.
Seeing Gu Ming staring at the stage intently, the old mother couldn't help but smile and lowered her voice: "Is the son satisfied with these Persian women?" ”
"Well, it's not bad!"
"Why don't you go upstairs and have a look? The old body guarantees that the son will be more satisfied. ”
"Wait a minute, Ben Gongzi will enjoy it below for a while."
As soon as she heard this, the old mother couldn't persuade her again, so she could only order someone to make a cup of tea first.
"Well, if Childe needs it, just give an order, the old body promises to choose the best girl for Childe, and let Childe return happy!"
"Okay, I'll call you later."
Gu Ming said perfunctorily, then turned his head and enjoyed the dance on the stage with relish.
