The director of the sect deliberately shouted loudly, because this could also remind Lu Yufang and the others who were guarding the main gate, and let them quickly block the passage of the main gate to prevent Xiao Yuanjun from running away.

But as soon as he broke into the room, he was completely stunned.

The chanting stopped abruptly, as if someone in the room was abruptly interrupted by an intruder.

The whole room was drowsy, and there were red candles on the menorah around the desk, and the candles glowed red. Because Director Zong and the other two policemen broke in too violently, the gust of wind that they brought in blew the candles, and the whole room was full of shadows and swaying lights.

Xu Lang was sitting alone on a futon on a tatami mat with his eyes closed, and there was another futon not far from him, but it was empty and deserted, and there was no one to be seen.

Not only on the futon, but in addition to the three policemen in the whole room, only Xu Lang, who was sitting on the futon and sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed!

However, the sound of chanting mantras just now was clearly coming from this room!

There was an uproar outside, and it seemed that Lu Yufang and another policeman also rushed into the main hall and quickly blocked another passage.

"Old Lu!" The head of the sect shouted.

Lu Yufang answered outside, and there was a rush of footsteps outside, and he suddenly pushed open the door on the other side and looked inside.

"Did you meet anyone over there?" Director Zong asked.

"Nope! I asked Xiao Zhang to look at the door of the main hall, and he had already controlled the two apprentices. ”

"Strange, why didn't you see Xiao Yuanjun again!" The sect director yelled a little angrily.

But at this moment, Xu Lang, who was sitting on the futon, suddenly opened his eyes slowly.

Xu Lang looked ahead in surprise, then turned his head to look at the sect chief and them, and then turned back to look ahead.

"What—what's going on?" He asked.

"Where's Xiao Envoy?" Director Zong asked him.

"Xiao Envoy-kun? Isn't she right here? Xu Lang pointed to himself inexplicably and said.

Director Zong looked at the empty tatami mats, and then looked at Xu Lang in surprise. At this time, Xu Lang suddenly raised his head slowly, as if looking at someone standing up.

"Are you dazzled? How can there be Xiao Yuanjun in this house?! The head of the sect shouted. He felt that Xu Lang had just woken up, and his consciousness was definitely not particularly awake.

"Don't you see? She's dressed in white! Xu Lang turned his head, his eyes widened in horror, and his fingers slowly moved and shouted at several policemen.

"Did he take any hallucinogenic drugs?" Lu Yufang also walked over, he stretched out his right hand, shook it vigorously in front of Xu Lang's eyes, and said.

"She's going out, she's going out!" Xu Lang shook off Lu Yufang's big hand, pointed to the side door where the sect director and they came in, and shouted loudly.

The head of the sect hurriedly turned around to look, but the place at the door was still empty.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and the door actually closed by itself!

"She's gone! Xiao Yuanjun is gone! Xu Lang pointed to the door and shouted.

"Quick!" Director Zong came back to his senses at this time, and the policemen in the house he hurriedly took rushed out, and the policemen turned on all the lights in the house, but they still didn't see Xiao Yuanjun's shadow.

Director Zong returned to the tatami hut a little dejected, at this time Xu Lang was already lying on the tatami mat with languidness, and when he heard Director Zong enter the door, he suddenly sat up again, as if he had understood something.

"What are you doing here? You didn't come to see Xiao Yuanjun, you came to arrest her, right? Are you using me? ”

Director Zong didn't speak, because Xu Lang was not wrong.

"It's too much!" Xu Lang pounded the tatami mat vigorously, and suddenly howled and cried, startling the sect director.

"The lights in my Yuanchen Palace are out! If you do that, you're going to kill me!" It's going to kill me! Xu Lang pounded his chest and roared.

The second raid on Niangniang Temple still did not make any progress, and the angry director of the sect called everyone in Niangniang Temple to the police station to detain them overnight, and then interrogated them one by one, but the statements of these people were not much different from the last time.

- We didn't cheat money, we didn't cheat.

- Xiao Yuanjun is in the temple, but you don't have a chance to see it.

At dawn, the head of the sect had no choice but to release this group of people in desperation. Lu Yufang said to Director Zong that he would simply seal the Niangniang Temple, but Director Zong shook his head.

"If the temple is sealed, this group of people will likely go underground, and it will be even more difficult to enforce the law. It's better to put them there, at least they're still in the spot. ”

"Is that all?" Lu Yufang said unwillingly.

"No, we're going to find someone better to deal with them." The head of the sect patted Lu Yufang on the shoulder, "If you want to catch the old and indulge, first release and observe for a period of time, and then talk about it-Xu Lang, have you visited it?" ”

Lu Yufang smiled awkwardly: "That painter is dead, and he was scolded by the door as soon as he knocked on the door." ”

"We really didn't do it right." Director Zong also sighed and said.

He felt that he had deceived Xu Lang to a certain extent, Xu Lang thought that he just wanted to meet Xiao Yuanjun, but he didn't expect the police station to raid Niangniang Temple and arrest Xiao Yuanjun.

Anyone would be angry if they were to do something like this, right?

Director Zong buried guilt in his heart, he thought, after a while, after Xu Lang's resistance was gone, he would visit him again and apologize to him in person.

But Director Zong did not wait for this opportunity.

Twenty days later, Xu Lang died.

He locked himself in the house, took advantage of the daytime roommate to go out to work, sealed his room with adhesive tape, and then committed suicide by burning charcoal.

When Director Zong heard the bad news, he hurriedly ran to the Binchuan District Criminal Investigation Brigade to inquire about the news.

"100 percent suicide." An old classmate of the criminal investigation brigade said, "The person who shared the house said that he was weird recently, and we checked his online shopping list and found that the things used in suicide were all bought by him, and the scene was closed and natural, and there was no trace of outsiders entering and leaving." And we found his suicide note – or rather, his posthumous work. ”

The old classmate opened his mobile phone, pulled up a strange oil painting from the photo album and handed it to Director Zong.

Director Zong took the phone, the figure on the painting was a little abstract, but he could still tell that there was an old woman in white clothes standing in front of a crooked wooden bridge, and on the hill on the other side of the wooden bridge, a raging fire was burning.

There are also a few words written by Xu Lang with an oil pen in hand.

"Born sinful, and perpetuated. The other side is burned to the ground, and Nirvana is achieved. ”

Director Zong silently handed the phone back to his old classmates.

His heart ached, and for the first time he felt like he was facing something more evil. He felt that it was time to ask for more powerful forces to destroy these evils.

……

Lin Ying spent two hours carefully reading the report on the "Niangniangmiao Case". She couldn't say why, but after reading the report, she suddenly felt very depressed.

The first impression of this case is just a "shallow" case, as if it is like a pool of clear water, and as soon as you look down, you can see everything in the water - there are a few fish, a few clusters of aquatic plants, all clearly placed there for you to see.

Although the case report submitted by Director Zong and others was objective, accurate, and detailed, after reading the report and thinking about it carefully, I could still feel the strange atmosphere revealed between the lines.
