In terms of physiognomy, the position of Yintang represents a person's luck, if a person's Yintang is ruddy, most of them are happy events, and if Yintang is black and purple, it often means that this person will be in a catastrophe in the near future.

The drowning in the reservoir did not allow Gu Man to escape, but instead made her entangle herself with something more difficult to get rid of.

Fire life, a rare encounter in a hundred years, the altar, the spirit flag, the black ...... After associating these together, my brow furrowed even deeper, as I guessed, Gu Man was definitely being targeted now.

"What's wrong with you, what are you stunned about?"

Gu Man, who got into the car, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, frowning and asking me if I hadn't slept all night last night.

I nodded, and just as I was about to say that I had slept for a while, she grabbed the steering wheel and said to me in a commanding tone, "Sit in the back and go to my little brother." ”

Fatigue driving does cause accidents, and I sat in the back seat stupidly.

"Don't mind if I eat in your car, do you?"

"Buy it all, eat it."

Today, Gu Man seems to be more talkative, willing to speak, and her spirit is much better, on the surface, it does improve, but only I know that the black qi on her Yin Hall will eventually bring disaster to her.

After eating the steamed buns, I told her about the arrangements for staying in the guest house in the bureau for the past two days, and specially said that it was an order from Lao Ding, and in order to prevent her from being suspicious, I pulled out the confidentiality regulations of the case.

"It's best not to go out either." I added: "Lao Ding attaches great importance to this matter, and his superiors also know about this case." ”

This was a bit redundant, and I felt suspicious to her, because she glanced at me in the rearview mirror as she passed the traffic light, opened her mouth, and stopped talking.

She has brains, but it's me, not long after I entered the industry, how can I deceive her, the flower of criminal investigation in the future.

But for the sake of her safety, this can only be done, I hope she can retreat from the difficulty, stay in the guest house honestly and wait for this matter to stop.

This feng shui spirit kills the game, I can only try to give it a go.

When we arrived, we said a few words and went back to our respective offices.

There are still two days to go, to be precise, the handover will be completed before 6 pm the next day, which means that there are still more than 30 hours.

To be honest, it's unlikely, all I can do is try to save Gu Man's life, as long as the fire line doesn't return to its place, that sacrifice can't be carried out as usual.

And if you want to save Gu Man's life, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say.

The simplicity lies in the fact that as long as you send someone to protect her, you can be sure that she will not be close to the mastermind behind the scenes or her minions.

The difficulty is that the former can only keep Gu Man safe for a while, she can't live in a guest house for the rest of her life, right? Lao Ding is ready to cultivate her as a good seedling in the future, but if the black gas on her hall does not dissipate, she will not be at peace for a day.

And if you want to break the black gas, you need to have a jewelry that has opened the light to wear closely, but not all jewelry that has opened the light is OK, and it also needs to match the quality and life, which is the rarest, it seems that you can only try your luck.

I've been lying on my desk all morning thinking about the case, and I've been in contact with those spirits yesterday, so I must have missed some details, and I should be very close to the truth.

The beginning and the end began to flash through my mind over and over again.

I went to the reservoir with Gu Man, and then a figure floated by, it was not a human but a spirit, Gu Man recognized it as the first deceased, and then I met the spirit under the water.

Wrong!

The figure fighting me at the bottom of the water is not a spirit.

I have ignored the most basic common sense, spirits cannot hurt people, they can only be bad luck, and a little more resentment can create illusions, but they are all minor.

But that person and I were really fighting, I could feel his strength and water nature that were different from ordinary people, and then Gu Man shot and injured him! He bled out! I slapped the door of my head, how could I ignore such an important detail?

Thinking about this, I became more and more sure, and the details of that grappling became clearer a little.

The bottom of the water was too dim, and secondly, every second I spent in the water under the premise of lung capacity squeezing increased the possibility of drowning, and his screams confirmed that Gu Man had indeed hit, I remember that his figure shook for a moment, and then fled, and in that second, I ignored the blood that spread from his body.

He was shot, he was bleeding, yes, it was a living person, not a spirit.

I slammed my head, and the context of the case became clear again.

But there is another big problem that comes with it.

If he was not a spirit but a living being, then how did he escape, under the altar? No kidding, the altar is solid, and we dismantled the altar in its entirety without any other outlet underwater.

Unless... Unless he didn't run away at all.

It's not impossible, you know, I didn't pay attention to the movement under the water after I went ashore, until Lao Ding came to open the gate to release water, there was no other outlet under the water, but the gate was a diversion canal that could lead directly downstream.

As soon as the valve opens...... Thinking of this, I almost couldn't resist being rude, and my professional professionalism made me run to Lao Ding's office for the first time.

"Uncle Ding, I have a key clue in mind."

"What?"

Lao Ding's eyes lit up, and he only drank half of the water, and he choked on it.

"The sluice, the sluice, the figure in the water must be lurking under the water, waiting for the sluice to open, and then escaping along the diversion canal."

My voice was a little loud, the door of Lao Ding's office was not closed, he subconsciously got up to close the door, and asked me with a frown: "Are you sure?" ”

"There is an interval of twenty or thirty minutes, who can stay in the water for so long?"

Lao Ding is right, but there are no wonders in the world, that person is proficient in sacrificial and harmful sacrifices, and it is not uncommon for him to know some strange arts, and judging from the results of fighting with me, that person's water nature is extremely good.

I told Lao Ding about the doorway, and he thought about it for a while, and finally decided to send two comrades to the aqueduct to have a look, and if he found any clues, he would continue to follow up.

But I could hear from his words that he didn't want to pursue the case any further.

In fact, it is understandable that this is beyond the scope of our bureau's handling, and Lao Ding just wants to survive the handover in peace and ensure that our own comrades will not be harmed.

And I also said that as long as Gu Man is fine, there will be no more homicides, and Lao Ding's conservative strategy is actually the best.

But I'm not Lao Ding, he has been in officialdom for many years, I haven't yet, I want to investigate this case.

The comrades sent to the scene soon sent back the news that no clues had been found in the upstream and downstream of the diversion canal.

Am I guessing wrong?

"There's not much time left, so forget it."

Lao Ding comforted me like this, but I didn't want to give up, there was still a chance before the handover.

It's just that the case is once again in a cloud of confusion, just like that person's face, a black fog, and I can't see it clearly.

But I vaguely remember that he had a black tattoo on his arm.

This tattoo is like a totem of some kind of religion, but I have never seen it.

The idea of totem originated very early, and ancient primitive tribes were superstitious about some natural or blood relative, ancestor or protector god.

And the totem entrusts their belief in this relationship, and even believes that the totem can be the carrier of the soul.

To take the simplest example, we have believed in the dragon totem since ancient times.

Of course, between different races and tribes, there are also different beliefs, my grandfather has shown me all kinds of totems since I was a child, I think I have a certain understanding of the belief totems of a few tribes, but on the man's arm, I have no impression at all.

Even if I had to describe it, I couldn't describe it.

It looked like some kind of mark, and it looked like some kind of beast, so I hurried back to my office and found a pen and paper to sketch it.

After a few revisions, it feels like seven, seven, eight, or eight are right, and it should be such a totem.

It's just that after a closer look, I feel that it is not like the four things, I think it is some kind of fierce beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but it is like some kind of logo, in short, it is extremely weird, and the stone statue of the Bodhisattva with a fierce face is the same.

Since I can't think of it, I can only go to my grandfather to inquire, he is well-informed, and he can always see one or two.

I said hello to Lao Ding and drove to my grandfather's house.

But when I went out of the police station, Gu Man glanced at me, she watched me start the car and leave the police station, I knew that she was suspicious again, I told her that the comrades involved in the case last night had to stay at a distance and wait for the confidentiality work to be done.

When I got home, my grandfather sat in front of the tea table and made tea, prepared two teacups, I touched it with my hand, the tea was still warm, and he seemed to be sure that I would come back.

Because of work, I had a bit of a stiff quarrel with him, so I took the lead and said: "Grandpa, Jiang is still old and spicy, it seems that you have calculated that I will come back today?" ”

Grandpa pointed to the eaves and said, "This morning, two magpies flew into this nest. But there was a magpie that was blind in one eye, and it was a good omen for the magpie to enter the house, but it was not a good omen for the blind magpie. There is a way for a blind magpie to enter the house, and the lord has a lawsuit. So I'm sure you have something to ask me for today, and it's not a good thing. ”

"It's worthy of grandpa, or you're amazing!" I have to say that in addition to feng shui, grandpa is also very good at hanging arts, "Then I'm asking you, do you know what I came to you for this time?" ”

Grandpa pulled his beard twice and threw over a pen, and I knew he was going to test my words.

I casually wrote down Gu Man's 'Gu' word, "Grandpa, Gu Zi, what do you mean?" ”

Grandpa stared at this word for a long time, his brows slowly wrinkled, and suddenly asked, "Zhang Yao, you stinky boy, say, what have you caused recently?" ”

"Grandpa, you explain this word to me first, and I'll tell you later."

"The left half of the word Gu is doom, and the word doom occupies the door of death in the heavenly stem, which is a very unlucky side. The word "Doom" contains a character that represents the snake in the Chinese zodiac, after the "dragon". The word 'factory' in the upper left covers the snake fiercely under the sky, so that the snake cannot ascend to heaven. It's not actually a snake that's trapped in this word, but a dragon, which means that you can't solve this matter with all your might! ”

"And on the right is a page character, which is a pictogram in the oracle bone inscription, which represents the meaning of 'head', and has the same origin as the head. Prime Minister of Doom knotted, the trapped dragon did not ascend to heaven, and the head fell to the ground again, this is a big murderer! Tell me, what happened to you? ”

Grandpa's attainments in Feng Shui metaphysics are much higher than mine, and I know that this time I will gain something from asking my grandfather, but I didn't expect that I just casually asked him to help me test a word, and it ended up with such a hexagram, is this really that serious?

I may have said a nonsense, three people have died by now, and if this altar is finished, at least two more people will die, can it not be serious?

I told my grandfather everything I had happened to and gave him a picture of the totem.

Grandpa pondered and took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "Zhang Yao, everyone has their own life, don't investigate this matter anymore." ”

"What?" I was stunned, "But the murderer's next target is Gu Man, I can't ...... it."

"As I said, every man has a life. Gu Man is the green dragon that is covered in your word measurement, and she is a fire life that is rare in a hundred years, the obvious life of the green dragon and the life of the fire, a girl can't resist such a hard eight characters at all. Therefore, it was her destined disaster to encounter a catastrophe at a young age. ”
