Chapter 92: The Suspicious Case of Hiring a Cat (7)
As soon as he heard that Daoist Qingyang actually said that he had handled the case of the 'donkey dealer' poorly, Xue Siye turned his face blank when he boarded.
"Okay, you bull-nosed, Lao Lu, tell me, brother, what's wrong with me? Is it that the beast-making demon should not be caught, or should the martyr woman not be saved? ”
Seeing that his old friend was feigned with anger, Qingyang Daoist shook his head with a wry smile.
"Old Xue, you still have this temper of artillery at a point, when did my brother say that you shouldn't arrest people?
It's just that there are still a lot of hidden secrets in the 'donkey dealer' that you can slaughter with a knife before they can be dug up, and you can't help but be a little impatient here. ”
When he heard that there was still a secret in the 'donkey dealer' that had not been revealed, Xue Siye suddenly became interested, and he couldn't even bother to eat the wine, so he must let the Qingyang Daoist say that he was ugly.
"Lao Xue, you are really instigating, let people analyze the case, and even have to be stingy with wine, not to mention a few more glasses."
After that, Qingyang Dao Elder laughed and raised the wine jug handed over by Xue Siye, 'Mouth to mouth, long flowing water', and just poured out of it.
At the end, Qingyang Dao Chang was still unsatisfied and put down the empty wine jug, and brushed the beard sprinkled with wine on his lips with his hand.
"It's still like this...... Lao Xue, let me ask you, the 'donkey dealer' confessed that he had rescued a demon who had slipped through the hunt of the imperial court on the road, and only then did he have to teach the art of creating animals.
Lao Xue, you are the chief catcher of Yangzhou Mansion, and the nearby ground is under your control. ”
After Qingyang Daoist mentioned this, Xue Siye suddenly let out an "ahhhhh
"How did I slip this through?"
It turned out that the officialdom at that time had a rule that whenever there was a search for bandits, robbers, and demons in the jurisdiction, an official document was given to the neighboring prefectures and counties to assist in the arrest of the thieves.
If you can get the appearance of the bandit leader in advance, you should also transfer this information together, so that the neighboring prefectures and counties can find painters to depict the shadow of the bandit leader, and post it at the city gate so that the officials can catch the thieves who have slipped through the net from the passers-by.
This method of arrest is called "sea fishing".
Since Xue Siye is the chief arrester of Yangzhou Mansion, all the cases that the Mansion has searched and arrested are under his control.
If there is really a sea fishing official document transferred to Yangzhou Mansion, how can he not know the reason?
If Xue Siye didn't know about this case of searching for the 'beast monster', then it would be obvious:
Either this matter is not in the vicinity of Yangzhou, or it has to be hundreds of miles away, so the official who presided over the search did not think that the demon could run to Yangzhou Mansion, so there was no document to assist the Yangzhou prefect in the search.
Either that...... 'donkey dealer' is lying!
"Lao Xue, think about it carefully, if the 'donkey dealer' is a beast-making demon he met in other provinces, then why did he have to travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou to commit a crime?
Could it be that this Wu Zhou clan is so beautiful and famous that the 'donkey dealer' can't look down on others, so he has to come to kidnap her? ”
After listening to Daoist Qingyang's analysis, Xue Siye raised his left hand and slammed the table fiercely, which suddenly caused a chaotic sound of jingling bells and bowls on the table.
"The 'donkey dealer' is lying! He had known the demon who taught him for a long time. ”
Seeing that Fourth Master Xue was on the road, Daoist Qingyang nodded with satisfaction.
"That 'donkey dealer' must have quietly worshipped the beast-making demon as a teacher in the field, and only then did he learn the magic of man-made animals."
Not to mention anything else, a naked woman was lying unconscious in front of her, but she could still be unmoved, meticulously applying ointment to her and putting on a donkey's skin and hooves......
How can ordinary people have such good concentration? It's clear that this kind of thing has been done for a long time, and I have long been used to it.
"So that's the case? This 'donkey dealer' is really full of evil, and he was really cheap when he was cut with a knife......
Oh, if only Lao Lu could arrive a few days earlier, so that he could expose the lie of the 'donkey dealer' in front of him and dig out the master who taught him evil arts. ”
Seeing Xue Siye sighing regretfully, Qingyang Daoist suddenly laughed.
"Lao Xue, you don't have to be upset, in my opinion, eighty percent of the demons who taught the 'donkey dealer' evil art have been killed behind the 'donkey dealer', so he didn't learn the essence of the evil art of creating animals."
As soon as he heard the Qingyang Daoist say that the 'donkey dealer' had not learned the essence of the evil art of making animals, Xue Siye suddenly became interested, and he must tell the reason, otherwise he would not want to use chopsticks to eat vegetables.
This can be 'angry' so that Qingyang Dao blows his beard.
"Lao Xue, you are a money fan, you said that you would treat you to the east, at first you were stingy with wine, but now you don't even care about the dishes?
The essence of this animal creation technique is naturally that the livestock created by evil art must be able to move like normal living creatures, Lao Xue, have you forgotten how the 'donkey dealer' was caught? ”
The reason why this 'donkey dealer' is especially noticed by the shopkeeper is that in addition to his stingy forage, this donkey trafficking in a cart is also a very eye-catching horse's foot.
It's not that the donkey can't be sold, the key is that the donkey doesn't listen to the call, it can't grind, it can't drive a car, and it can only be sold as a meat donkey to a hotel restaurant.
This dealer had to come all the way to bring a few horses, but he could only send them to the restaurant to sell donkey meat for money.
Therefore, in the eyes of the shopkeeper who used to be a cattle trader, the 'donkey trader' is a classic mistake in the livestock trade.
Therefore, the shopkeeper paid special attention to it, and was even ready to give it some forage for the sake of his former peers.
If the 'donkey dealer' is willing to humbly ask for advice, maybe he can teach him a few more tricks.
And then the 'donkey dealer' was caught......
If all the animal monsters in the world are like 'donkey dealers', with such big flaws on their bodies, then the government will search for them, and it will be much easier.
Qingyang Daoist believes that the fake livestock conjured by the real animal creation technique not only has the same fur and hooves as a live animal, but should also be able to drive and walk like a normal animal.
It is by no means like Wu Zhou, although he 'transformed' into a donkey, he could not stand and walk at all, so he could only tie his limbs and disguise himself as a disobedient donkey.
If the 'donkey dealer' had not been transporting the donkeys on a cart, but had driven three donkeys to stay at the hotel, the owner would not have paid much attention to the man.
It's hard to say how things will play out then.
It is even very likely that the 'donkey dealer' will not come to the hotel at all, go straight to the mule and horse market to sell the two real donkeys, and finally lead the donkey that Wu Zhou's 'transformed' into into a fireworks and prostitution house where dirt and dirt are hidden, and find the bustard who bought people to make a deal.
It's not uncommon to lead a donkey to visit the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but if you use a cart to pull a donkey to visit, it will be too eye-catching.
It is for this reason that the 'donkey dealer' wants to stay at the inn.
In the dead of night, this man sneaked into the stable, 'transformed' the stunned Wu Zhou into a human form, carried him to the prostitute that had been stepped on in advance, and made a deal with the bustard.
"That's why I said that Lao Xue, you handled the case so badly that you couldn't dig up more things from the 'donkey dealer'."
With that, Qingyang Dao Chang sighed.
"Now it seems that the demon who taught the 'donkey dealer' in the first place should not have taught him the trick of how to make the transformed animals stand and walk freely, otherwise it would be nice to be able to crack the soul arrest method of these demons."
