Back in Ceramic Town, it was already the morning of the next day, close to noon, Mayor Yu had been waiting for a long time, and he was thankful to see that Yu Yaoyao was safe and sound. At this moment, the master clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "Mayor Yu, there is nothing wrong with Ceramic Town, right?" As he spoke, Master glanced around, and I followed suit, and found that there were a lot of patrol members, and as long as they were safe and sound, most of them would be fine.

Mayor Yu hurriedly nodded with a smile and said, "Everything is fine here in Ceramic Town, maybe the murderer really left Ceramic Town!" ”

Master sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Mayor Yu, I'm afraid that the murderer not only did not leave Ceramic Town, but is more likely to live in Ceramic Town. Because there are no other outsiders in Ceramic Town these days, except for our master and apprentice, there are only locals in Ceramic Town, so there were seven homicides in Ceramic Town two days ago, why is this? ”

"Why?" Mayor Yu's face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Mr. Yang, it's okay for you to say it directly!" ”

The master was about to speak, but Mayor Yu made a silent gesture, and then made an inviting gesture, signaling the master to follow him. After a while, a tall and simple mansion appeared in front of him, and Mayor Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, this is a contemptible cold house, you are tired from working all day, please come into the house and sit down to talk." After all, it's daytime, and no matter how arrogant the murderer is, he doesn't dare to commit a crime during the day, right? ”

"Thank you, Mayor Yu." The master smiled and nodded, and followed Mayor Yu's guidance into the courtyard, while Yu Yaoyao jumped happily.

Coming to the living room, Mayor Yu hurriedly said to Yu Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, call your mother out and serve tea to our distinguished guest, Mr. Yang." ”

"Okay Dad." Yu Yaoyao happily agreed, turned around and walked out, but when she met me at the door, she snorted coldly, and seemed to pay no attention to me at all. I was stunned, and reached out and grabbed the back of my head, this is too fast, right? In the blink of an eye, you shouldn't know me here, but it's okay, so as not to fall into the depths of the time. But even though I said that, I didn't feel happy at all, but a little depressed.

I can't say why, when Yu Yaoyao pestered me, I always wanted to break off the relationship with her, but now she completely ignores me, and I feel a sense of loss. Alas......

Mayor Yu also hurriedly smiled at me: "Ergou, you can also sit, I must be very tired from running around with your master in the past two days." ”

"Thank you, Mayor Yu." I squeezed out a smile and sat down beside Master.

After a while, Yu Yaoyao walked in with a graceful and luxurious old woman, and smiled gently and politely: "Maolin has been talking to me about a Maoshan high road in our ceramic town, it must be you, Mr. Yang, right?" Oh, please use tea, please use tea. Then this should be Mr. Yang's apprentice, right? It's really young and promising, young and promising! Please use tea, please use tea. ”

Master smiled and nodded, while I hurriedly stood up and took the tea, and said aggressively, "Senior Li Ergou, I have seen my aunt." ”

The old woman smiled softly and said, "You're welcome, please sit down." It's noon now, you use tea first, and Yaoyao and I will cook for you, hehe! ”

This Yu family is really a scholarly family, and the family is also knowledgeable, and the etiquette is very thoughtful. The old woman withdrew, leaving the living room for us to speak. The master took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and said to Mayor Yu: "I told Mayor Yu a while ago that this murderer must be hiding in Ceramic Town, and it is very likely that he is a local. Originally, I hadn't planned to say this idea so early, but after going to Ewha Town last night to verify the eighth deceased, I confirmed what I thought. ”

Mayor Yu listened to the master's words with a serious face, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, how did you deduce that this murderer is from Ceramic Town, but it doesn't hurt to say it, this is our own home, so there is no need to be too taboo." ”

Master nodded, then stood up, walked to the door of the living room with his hands on his back, then turned around, and continued: "This murderer has been successful in all seven murders for two days in a row, and last night, he directly found the eighth deceased in Ewha Town, what does this mean?" This can only show one point, this murderer knows all the population and identity information of the two towns of Ceramic Town and Pear Flower Town, and I asked the Mayor of Pear Flower Town, Mayor Cai said that within a radius of dozens of miles, there are only two towns, that is, Pear Flower Town and Ceramic Town, which can suddenly appear, and clearly grasp the identity information of each family's population. ”

Mayor Yu took a deep look at the master, then nodded, and said, "Not only that, if this person is an ordinary person, it is impossible to easily find out this information, this person must have some way to collect the birth dates of the population of the two towns." ”

"Mayor Yu is right!" Master smiled and nodded, and continued: "But the identity information collected by Zhen ** must not be as complete or even accurate as this person's collection, so who can collect these information in a grand manner, and make it impossible for everyone to detect?" ”

"Who is it?!" Mayor Yu Huo Di stood up and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yang, who is it?!" ”

Master shook his head and said, "Could it be that Mayor Yu has forgotten that there is a famous nine-fingered god in Ceramics Town?" The nine-fingered god is famous for the way of divination, and it is quite prestigious in the Jiangnan generation, but whoever is looking for fortune telling, it is natural to offer the eight characters of the birthday, and it must be the accurate eight characters of the birthday, and there is such a name as the nine-fingered god calculation, and the people naturally step through the threshold to find the god operator to calculate the good fortune and misfortune. In this way, the people of the two nearby towns will continue to send the Eight Characters of Birth to the hands of the Nine-Fingered Divine Operator, and they will not suspect that the Divine Operator will do anything bad with their Eight Characters of Birth. ”

"That's right!"

Mayor Yu slapped the table suddenly, and immediately said angrily: "It turned out that I searched and searched, and found the body of the nine-fingered god Tao Shangqian, this Tao Shangqian, is really deep enough!" Yes, only Tao Shangqian can collect all the birth dates of the people, because he is a god operator! With such a name, the people must be willing to send their own birthdays, and even the birthdays of the whole family to Tao Shangqian's hands, well, Mr. Yang's words woke up the dreamer, and I will let the patrol arrest Tao Shangqian! ”

"No!" The master suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mayor Yu, don't be anxious! ”

Mayor Yu opened his mouth in astonishment and asked, "Mr. Yang, why?" Since there is evidence to prove that the murderer is Tao Shangqian, why can't he arrest someone? ”

Master smiled bitterly and said, "Mayor Yu, this is what we have speculated, how can there be any real evidence?" Besides, if Tao Shangqian denies it, what can we do with him? And what is his motive? Why did he kill so many people? He is already a well-known nine-fingered god, a person who is not stupid or stupid, why did he ruin his reputation for the sake of killing a few people? ”

"This ......" Mayor Yu was speechless for a moment, but immediately said, "But isn't he practicing some Nine Yin Great Tonic Technique?" We can ......."

"No, you can't!" The master didn't wait for Mayor Yu to finish speaking, then interrupted Mayor Yu's words, and continued: "Unless the Nine Yin Great Tonic Technique is refined, there is no evidence that can be found before, besides, Mayor Yu is an official, how can he use a side-by-side technique as a reason to arrest people?" I'm afraid that it makes sense in the town, but it doesn't make sense in the county. It is likely to be put on a superstitious hat. ”

Mayor Yu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Mr. Yang is a member of the Dao Sect and can talk about the secret method of magic, and the person who handles the case needs to have real evidence, otherwise it will not be reported to the county." Then Mr. Yang, even if we know that the murderer is Tao Shangqian, don't we have anything to do? Just watching him kill and be helpless? ”

The master shook his head and said: "The Nine Yin Great Supplement Technique is still short of an unmarried woman with eight characters and all yin, Tao Shangqian will definitely commit the crime, as long as he is arrested before he commits the crime, for Yang, it is possible to get rid of this scum for Xuanmen, and for Mayor Yu, he can also report this heinous serial murderer to the law." In this way, it can be done with a beginning and an end, after Mayor Yu has made a difference, this big trouble is enough to make Mayor Yu have a bright future! Hehe! ”

Mayor Yu hurriedly smiled, but immediately said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Yang, but, when did Tao Shangqian commit the crime?" There are eight cases in the previous total, all of which are unknowing, and now they are still one step away from being able to complete it, isn't it easy to do? I'm afraid that by the time we find out, we'll only be able to find the body......"

Master smiled strangely: "What I said before about the Nine Yin Great Supplement Technique, I only said one of them, and the other was not said, the Nine Yin Great Supplement Technique must be completed within seventy-two hours, otherwise it will be wasted, and within a radius of dozens of miles, there are only two big towns in Ceramic Town and Pear Flower Town, last night I asked Mayor Cai to evacuate all the unmarried women who are all Yin in the Eight Characters in Ceramic Town and Lihua Town, that is to say, now the unmarried women in Ceramic Town and Pear Flower Town have all been evacuated to dozens of miles away, but now three days have passed, There is still half of the seventy-two hours left, only thirty-six hours, no matter how powerful Tao Shangqian is, it is impossible to go back and forth dozens of miles away, even if he can arrive, in a limited time, it is not so easy to find the unmarried woman who is familiar with the eight characters and all yin. So his only recourse was to find a ninth target in these two towns! ”

"Hehe......" Mayor Yu suddenly laughed: "Now can't we close the door and beat the dog?" It's like catching a turtle in an urn! Hehe...... Uh, that's right, it's just that there are no unmarried women in Ceramic Town and Pear Flower Town now, so will Tao Shangqian still show up? He can't find a target, and we don't have any excuse to arrest him, do we? ”

But when Yu Yaoyao walked in with a plate of fragrant dishes, Mayor Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at his daughter Yu Yaoyao blankly, unable to say a word for a long time.
