Chapter 30: The Unknown Male Corpse (5)
What's the use of looking for that, I'm looking for you, I'm too tired, let's rest for a while! After that, Shu Qi put his hands around his chest and looked at Di Renjie.
"Hey, I really ate cow, how could I think of calling you to come to visit Yin at night, if I knew this, I should have called Liu to catch quickly, and I have to help!" After all, Di Renjie was still very serious about looking for the square hole by the bright moonlight.
"Is Liu Zhu fast, even if you call him tonight, he can't accompany you to this Yin Mansion?" Shuqi said in a slightly chilled voice.
Di Renjie was puzzled: "Why? ”
Shu Qi pretended to be an old man, and sighed: "It's really sad to be your subordinate, Liu Zhukuai his wife is sick tonight and is serving in front of the bed, do you think he can visit this Yin Mansion with you at night?" ”
Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and said, "Hey, if that's the case, I'm afraid that no one will accompany me to this Yin Mansion except for you!" ”
"You foolish young master, can't Master Luo?" Shuqi asked rhetorically.
Master Luo? Di Renjie's heart at this time was like overturning a five-flavor bottle, although he did not have a very deep relationship with Master Luo, judging from his speech and demeanor, he seemed to have some knowledge and a high quality of cultivation. But he always thought he was weird, and when he learned from Liu Zhutou that he had secretly gone to the morgue, his suspicions of him deepened.
"What's the matter, he offended you? Don't you tell me it's true, I'd rather die than believe it? Shuqi asked.
"Why do you say that, how can Master Luo not offend me?" Di Renjie listened to his words and asked with some curiosity.
Shu Qi didn't raise the bar with Di Renjie this time, his eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, he raised his head, and said leisurely: "Actually, Master Luo is very pitiful!" ”
"Poor him, how do you know? Do you know the details of Master Luo?"
"Young master, you can think with your brain! We have never seen Master Luo's family when we came to Zhangwu County, and I can't even get a wife at this age, can I not be pitiful! ”
After listening to Shuqi's theory, Di Renjie almost lost his breath, why did this kid learn so poorly! Forget it, don't spit on him anymore.
Finally, Di Renjie found a square hole in a door, and there was still a candle in it. Di Renjie looked at it and could hardly see anything. After confirming that this was a new house, Di Renjie moved lightly, leaned in front of the window, and clicked the window lattice paper with the tip of his tongue, so that a carpenter could watch it with a single hanging line.
It's okay not to look at it, but it scared Di Renjie and took a breath. A woman sat facing him on the gum of teeth, dressed in white ayara, her face was horribly white, her lips were thick and red, and her eyes were staring blankly at the window, as if she was looking forward to someone's return, and she had not returned for a long time.
At this time, Shuqi was interested, and he also leaned to the window to push Di Renjie away with his shoulder, and looked in with one eye. He was about to take a closer look when he was almost moved to tears by what was happening inside. He stammered as he stammered, "Hell! Hell! ”
"What?" Di Renjie immediately straightened Shuqi and asked eagerly: "Say it again, what did you see?" ”
"A female ghost in white is eating bloody pieces of meat, and she is smiling at me, and the way she laughs...
What Di Renjie never expected was that Shuqi cried loudly when he was about to make a decision. Frightened, he hurriedly covered Shuqi's lips and whispered in his ear: "Don't be so loud, do you want to attract all the people of the Yin family?" The lights of the new house suddenly disappeared, Di Renjie secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately picked up Shuqi and ran outside the door of Yin's mansion.
"There are thieves! There are thieves! Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, and soon the entire Yin Mansion fell into chaos, and a crisp sound of bangs resounded through the night, and many Yin Mansion family members held torches in their hands to search in gardens, rockeries and other places.
Fortunately, the master and servant had left room for retreat in advance, and they had already fled from Yin's mansion after swaying.
How high the sun rose the next day, Di Renjie woke up groggily, remembering an experience last night, not only did he not understand anything, but what Shuqi saw was completely different from what he saw. I wanted to find Shuqi to ask about it, but I was afraid that I would frighten this child again, so I simply let it go first.
Suddenly, he remembered Master Luo, what is this old man doing now, it is better to invite him to discuss this mystery together.
A subordinate came to report that Master Luo was examining the corpse in the morgue, saying that he wanted to draw an image of the corpse to restore the original appearance of the deceased.
Di Renjie was taken aback, he didn't expect Master Luo to have such skills, this person's spell seems to be unfathomable!
Di Renjie didn't take Shuqi with him, but went to the morgue in civilian clothes. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Master Luo inside painting a picture with a paintbrush in a serious manner. Di Renjie didn't bother, and quietly admired it on the side.
But when the painting was about to be finished, Di Renjie suddenly remembered something in his mind.
"Master Luo, I'm bothered by my late life!" Di Renjie said.
Master Luo was engrossed in painting, and with a greeting, the brush in his hand fell off, and when he looked up and saw that it was Di Renjie, his anger suddenly disappeared a lot.
"I've seen my lord!" Master Luo hurriedly got up and clenched his fists and said respectfully.
Di Renjie waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Luo, you are too polite. Now I don't work in the yamen, so I don't need to make such a big gift. If you don't have office hours in the future, you will call yourself a student in front of Master Luo that night, okay? ”
"How can this work, it can't be done, it can't be done!"
"What's not to do, students meet the teacher!" Di Renjie didn't wait for Master Luo to object, he knelt down in front of him, and kowtowed three times.
Seeing him like this, Master Luo could only shake his head helplessly and sighed: "Okay, Lao Suo will accept you as a student!" ”
Di Renjie stood up and arched his hand: "The student doesn't know anything, please teach the teacher more!" ”
Master Luo saw Di Renjie's face full of sincerity and suspicion, so he asked softly, "My lord, why is this so?" ”
"Teacher, how did you draw the face of the deceased, was it based on imagination, or did you seem familiar with this person?"
"My lord, Lao Suo also worked as a painter in the early years, and he was full-time in official painting in a painting gallery in Beijing, and he was good at the appearance and shape of the characters. After offending the powerful and living here, he took the position of master. When asked me how I drew the face of the deceased, I could only say that it was experience and imagination, and the other was that there were some features of the deceased's face. ”
Di Renjie was skeptical, and said in his heart that he didn't trust this Master Luo at all, but he felt that he was still far from others.
"Master, when the student saw this painting, he seemed to think of another portrait, which he saw on the way to Yin's Mansion yesterday. The figure in the painting above is not very similar to the figure in a portrait in the Taoist temple, but it also has eight or nine points. ”
Master Luo was startled, and his eyes released two cold lights. "Oh? How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Then please take Lao Suo to sit there and have a look. ”
