Fledgling Chapter 5 The Man Behind the Scenes

When the villagers heard that the old cripple was the murderer of the village chief, they were all indignant. They didn't doubt whether I had any evidence, after all, the old cripple had a grudge against the village chief, and he was crazy, and everyone trusted me, so they spontaneously began to look for the old cripple, shouting to catch the murderer.

As for the truth, I didn't even tell my sister, I was afraid that she would know too much and cause disaster.

My idea is very simple, I basically locked the murderer between my cousin and the old lame, if my cousin is the murderer, after hearing me say this, he will definitely find a way to let the old lame man take the blame, and even harm him, so I just need to keep an eye on my cousin. As for whether there is an insider behind the real murderer, I don't know yet, the spell of the soul attraction pile is not very difficult, but the risk is very high, ordinary people can complete it independently after guidance, but insiders may not be willing to use this method.

I took someone to the old lame's house, and I really searched for the used soul-attracting pile, and some other auxiliary props, is the murderer really the old lame? At the same time, someone found the body of the old lame man in a cave in the back mountain.

Someone died, and the village had to call the police. The police said that the old cripple died in the second half of the night yesterday, and there were no external injuries on his body, and the cause of death was unknown, and he needed to be taken back for further analysis. In other words, the old lame man died after seeing us, and my cousin was with me all night yesterday, indicating that he could not be the murderer.

In this cave, traces of the life of a second person were also found. Looking at the situation at the scene, someone has lived in the cave for many days, and strangely, this person has not left any fingerprints or hair. But there was another thing that the police didn't notice, and I felt the breath of magic fire in the cave. The so-called magic fire, is the fire made by spells, different from ordinary flames, can give birth to magic fire, if not a genius, this person's Taoism is at least five years or more, definitely not the half-hung person I thought before (Ma Zhenren is not even a half-hanger, just a liar).

Could it be that this person is the person behind the scenes? Did he guide the old cripple to kill his uncle, and then kill the old cripple to kill him, or was everything his mastermind and blamed the old cripple as a scapegoat?

I asked my cousin, and he said that his father probably hadn't offended such a person. They are poor and remote, let alone offended, and they can't even get in touch. But how did the old cripple come into contact with him? In this way, the clue is broken again.

I stayed with my wife for another two days, and I still didn't have any clue, and I guessed that the people behind the scenes should have left after killing the old cripple. As for whether he will come back, I have no way of knowing, but the time for the assessment of the Supernatural Association is almost up, and I can't delay it any longer.

Before leaving, the villagers came out to see us off. Although I didn't help much, my uncle's soul was not malicious in the first place, I just sent him away. All kinds of evidence show that the person who killed his uncle is likely to be the old lame, but the person behind him has no trace to be found. As for my cousin's secret, I think not only me, but also the more careful teacher should have seen it a long time ago. The relationship between him and his young stepmother is extraordinary. But this is all other people's family affairs, and my uncle's soul doesn't care anymore, so what do I care about.

All in all, my first independent case is only half done, and I will continue to look for people behind the scenes if I have the opportunity in the future.

On the way back, my sister praised me and praised me for being very calm and very gentlemanly. I know that she is encouraging me more, because the next assessment can only be faced by me alone. Shi Niang can't participate in the affairs of the circle, this time she just played the role of a guide and intermediary, and the case was basically completed by me alone.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the assessment is approaching. The headquarters of the Supernatural Association is in the suburbs of Beijing, except for insiders, they don't know that in the brick and stone building that looks very old, there is a group of "old monsters" who have mana. They don't always stay at the headquarters, most of the time they use a rotation system between the various factions, and last year Master also stayed here for a while, mainly doing some scheduling and management work, and solved a few cases easily.

After I packed my luggage, my wife personally escorted me to the station, and under her eager gaze, I stepped on the train to Beijing. We didn't get tickets for the high-speed train and bullet trains, so we had to take a 10-hour hard seat to get to Beijing. Luckily, I got a window seat and it wasn't too boring along the way.

Five years ago, when I went with Master, I met someone from the Pure Fu Sect on the train. The master and they only nodded to each other, and there was no communication on the way, but the young people from the Pure Fu Sect who participated in the assessment left a deep impression on me. One is named Wang Tianyi, who is two years older than me, and the master said that he is the most amazing and brilliant character of the younger generation, and his future is limitless. The other is called Lin Siqi, a little smaller than me, a living beauty embryo, the kind that makes my eyes straight. I don't know if it was them who sent the net charm this time, because according to the rules, if you continue to participate in the next assessment after passing, the difficulty of the assessment must be increased. According to the convention, the difficulty of the assessment is 1-3 stars, the first time to participate in the contestants, the 2-person group to complete the 1-star case, the 3-person group to complete the 2-star case, if Wang Tianyi and Lin Siqi have to participate in the assessment this time, they can only draw lots to choose the 2-person group 2-star case, or the 3-person group 3-star case. If you don't have enough people to form a team, you have to do it alone, which is very difficult and dangerous. And I'm different, because I didn't pass last time, this time I just need to take the assessment normally.

Luckily, the Pure Talisman Sect moved away two years ago, so I shouldn't have met them on the train this time. I can't forget the contemptuous laughter of the others when the seniors of the Paranormal Society announced that I had failed the assessment. At that time, I stole a glance at Lin Siqi's beautiful face, and although she only twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, I really wanted to find a hole to get into.

The other two sects that participated in the assessment were the Corpse Chasing Sect and the Ghost Raising Sect. The leader of the corpse gate is a lifelong friend of the master when he was young, so I also have the best time with the big martial and small martial brothers of the corpse gate. Five years ago, I also drew a group with Dawu, but I was too good, thanks to Dawu's stability, otherwise I would have been pitted. Dawu was slightly injured in order to save me, and I was very sorry not to go, but he was honest and didn't mind at all. As for the Ghost Raising Sect, they don't have too deep friendships with several other sects, because they mainly cultivate the art of ghosts, use ghosts to control ghosts, and exude a cold and mysterious energy all over their bodies, and they have a certain estrangement from everyone.

"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"

The sound of heavy railroad tracks began to sound all around, and I could feel the train begin to move slowly. My mind was immersed in the unbearable experience of five years ago, when a somewhat familiar face suddenly appeared next to the door of the crowded car. The backpack had only one strap hanging from her right shoulder, while her gaze raced between the seat tags on the luggage rack. At first, I wasn't sure, until I recognized the one-of-a-kind artifact in her hair.

How could she possibly get on this train again......
