Text Chapter 278 Where it came from
"Where this Jade Buddha came from, has Lord Shen found it?" After gently placing the Jade Buddha on the ground, Gu Yixuan raised his head and asked Shen Wei.
I saw Shen Wei nodding and replied to Gu Yixuan: "This jade Buddha statue was found in a dense forest outside the wilderness. β
"Yes. Gu Yixuan looked at the Buddha statue, the faint green light, and the soul was a resentful spirit. This resentful spirit is on a rampage, as if it wants to break through this Buddha statue.
"Lord Shen, can you tell me who the identity of the deceased is?" After staying for a long time, he didn't even ask who the deceased was. Gu Yixuan silently laughed at himself in his heart, and then asked Shen Wei.
Lin Feng also came in at this time, looked at a jade Buddha statue standing on the ground, and looked closer curiously.
"Lin Feng!" At this time, Gu Yixuan roared, rushed over and pulled Lin Feng's collar and dragged him back.
Lin Feng was not mentally prepared, he was dragged back again and again, and almost fell.
"What are you doing?!" After dragging Lin Feng a few feet away from the Jade Buddha, Gu Yixuan withdrew his hand. Lin Feng got up and looked at him in surprise and asked.
Shen Wei stepped forward, patted Lin Feng's shoulder gently, pointed to the Jade Buddha and Lin Feng and said, "Young General Lin, look. β
I saw that the rune paper attached to the face of the Jade Buddha moved without wind, and it trembled extremely much. The resentful spirit shouted to break through the seal, but if Lin Feng got closer, he would be haunted by the resentful spirit, and then it would be trouble.
Lin Feng felt a cold sweat behind his back, and turned his head to look at Gu Yixuan: "Brother Gu, thank you." He took a few steps back, trying to get as far away as the Jade Buddha.
"Strange, didn't Shen also take the jade Buddha just now, and didn't have the same reaction as Major General Lin?" Shen Wei touched his chin, a little puzzled.
"Brother Lin is a person who fought on the battlefield, and the blood on his body is much heavier than that of Lord Shen, and Lord Shen should be wearing accessories that have opened the light of the Buddhist Gate, and the resentful spirit does not dare to approach. Gu Yixuan looked at Shen Wei, there was a red thread around his neck, and the red line should be the magic weapon that the resentful spirit was afraid of.
"Lord Shen, Fang Cai's question has not yet been answered, who is the identity of this deceased?" Gu Yixuan continued to ask the question that was interrupted by Lin Feng.
Only then did Shen Wei inform Gu Yixuan of the information he had investigated: "This deceased is a merchant who has trade dealings with the family, and his name is Hu Baolai. This white jade wrench is his ancestral treasure, and because of this, Shen's people are particularly smooth when they find it. β
"This person lives in the capital?" Gu Yixuan asked.
Shen Wei nodded: "Yes, there is a mansion in the east of the capital, and Hu Baolai lives there." β
"What kind of business is this Hu Baolai doing with the family?"
"Jade business. Shen Wei was concise: "The jade used by the people of this family is all from Hu Baolai. I heard that his jade is strange and magnificent, and other jade merchants can't find such a finished product at all, and Hu Baolai is a master of things, and he greets the girls and ladies in this family every day, and envelops their hearts to death. β
"It seems that this fat man is quite good at business, and most of the people in that family are stupid and have a lot of money. As long as they are enveloped, not to mention that these people's jewelry and hairpin rings are set one by one during the New Year's holidays, even on weekdays, these ladies and ladies of the family also like to toss their own dresses. He didn't have any money to make. β
"So this Jade Buddha, do you think it was also purchased because of business?" If you can trace the origin of this Jade Buddha, you may be able to find out the resentment in this Jade Buddha, whose resentment it is, and what is the reason for it, so that you can solve the case faster.
It's just that Shen Wei didn't know the origin of this Jade Buddha, so he shook his head and said regretfully: "Shenwu Jun, the source of this Jade Buddha, Shen's person, has not been able to find out one or two." β
"You just said that this jade Buddha was found in the wilderness woods, so how can you determine that this jade Buddha is related to the deceased?" Lin Feng's eyes glanced at the jade Buddha statue, thinking about Fang Cai's resentful roar, he was still a little cautious in his heart.
When Shen's people went to Hu's house with a white jade wrench to confirm, Hu Baolai's wife Wang recognized the wrench, and she told Shen that Hu Baolai had never come back after telling her a few days ago that she was going to buy goods, and she was worried, because Hu Baolai wanted to go back to the family to report his safety, whether it was to the purchase point or to come back, this time he waited for several days without any news, it was too abnormal, Wang originally thought that if there was no news of Hu Baolai in a few days, he would report to the Yamen, who had not waited for a few days, Shen took this white jade wrench and stepped forward to find someoneγ Shen Wei also explained all the details of the inquiry process to Gu Yixuan.
Shen asked Wang where Hu Baolai went to buy goods, and Wang also shook his head and didn't know, but the housekeeper next to her told him that Hu Baolai had a way to buy goods, which was the barren forest that Shen went to. With this clue, Shen sent someone to explore the barren forest, and found this jade Buddha statue in the barren forest. When Gu Yixuan heard this, he nodded, and then Shen Wei's words guessed downward: "Next, Lord Shen took the jade Buddha statue to the Hu family, right?"
Shen Wei couldn't deny it, and responded: "Shenwujun is right, Shen did take the jade Buddha to the Hu family later, then the Wang family didn't recognize this jade Buddha statue, the housekeeper remembered that Hu Baolai had received an order a month ago, and what he wanted was this jade Buddha statue." β
"I see, the jade Buddha statue on the order appeared in the barren forest, and the blood stained on it must have been Hu Baolai. Lin Feng said the conjecture in his heart, but he was not recognized by Shen Wei and Gu Yixuan.
Gu Yixuan lowered his head and was silent, while Shen Wei shook his head directly: "The blood at the bottom of the Jade Buddha may not be Hu Baolai." β
"Why?" Lin Feng looked up at Shen Wei, his eyes puzzled.
Hu Baolai's corpse was found to be damaged by the examination, but it did not match the defect at the bottom of the jade Buddha. It is the blood at the bottom of the Jade Buddha, and nine times out of ten it is not Hu Baolai. β
It's not Hu Baolai, who should it be?" Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, and he was caught in a mystery.
Gu Yixuan raised his head at this time and looked at the jade Buddha, if he could bring up the resentful spirits in this jade Buddha for interrogation, he might be able to know some clues. But now the tricky thing is that most of the resentful spirits can't talk to people, and it is difficult to control them when they are released, and if you accidentally let it get on someone else's body, it will be even more of a headache to take it back.
Although that rune paper can temporarily suppress the resentful spirits in the Jade Buddha, it is not a long-term solution after all. Gu Yixuan thought for a moment, and then said to Shen Wei: "Lord Shen, in the barren forest, can you see any traces of the alien again?" Gu refers to the fragments of minced flesh on the alien's body. "If you can find a clue about the stranger, that's good.
However, Shen Wei shook his head: "The scene is a mess, Shen sent someone to investigate for a long time, but he didn't find any clues related to strangers." β
There is no clue to the Inhuman? On the bank of the river, where did that piece of Inhuman meat come from? In retrospect, that piece of meat was cut cleanly, not like Hu Baolai, who did not know how to cultivate martial arts. It seems that the origin of that piece of meat is indeed very strange.
"Is there anything else you found at the scene?" Lin Feng guessed in his heart and said to Shen Wei.
Shen Wei thought about it, seemed to recall something, turned around and took out some things from the evidence basket and put them on the table. Gu Yixuan looked at the utensils that Shen Wei took out, and his face became more and more ugly.
These things are all low-level charms used by Maoshan Taoist priests, bells, and... Torn and tattered robes.....
It seems that Hu Baolai is not the only one in the barren forest. Gu Yixuan looked at these things on the table and said slowly.
"These were all found not far from the Jade Buddha. After Shen Wei turned things out, he looked at Gu Yixuan and said.
"Lord Shen, just now you said that the barren forest is the only way for Hu Baolai to buy goods, so have you seen their goods?" Gu Yixuan wanted to determine whether they were killed on the way or in danger on the way back.
Shen Wei nodded and replied: "The car that pulled the goods Shen has seen it, and it contains these jade goods, but it has obviously been taken away a lot." I think it was some greedy people, and when they saw that this Hu Baolai was dead, they made some windfalls. β
No, the carriage pulling the goods is here, if you want to make a windfall, just pull the cart away, why bother to rummage for a while, and leave with scattered jade goods.
Gu Yixuan immediately denied Shen Wei's speculation, and pondered carefully: "Lord Shen, can you please take the two of us to the barren forest to have a look?"
Even if he stood here and guessed, he couldn't see anything, so Gu Yixuan decided to go to the barren forest to investigate carefully, maybe he could have some new clues.
"Naturally, it's okay, Shenwu-kun, please come here. Shen Wei nodded, took Gu Yixuan and Lin Feng out of the gate of the Criminal Department, and ordered: "Go and prepare the carriage, Shenwu Jun and General Lin Shao will go to the barren forest where the incident occurred to see the situation." β
"Lord Shen, in the middle of the night, the barren forest is also very dark and gloomy, it is difficult to see anything clearly, why not wait for tomorrow morning to go again, you can also take a closer look." One of the guards persuaded, and when the three of them heard this, they all looked at the sky, and in the dark of the night, it seemed as if everything was hidden.
"There are some things that can only be seen at night. Gu Yixuan groaned, saw the guard shake his body slightly, and smiled slightly: "This little brother should not panic, Gu is just talking casually." β
"Shenwu Jun doesn't want to be scared. The guards were only in their teens, and they were still a little frightened by this kind of gloomy thing, and Gu Yixuan's words just now shocked him into a cold sweat.
"Lord Shen, Shenwu Jun, Young General Lin, the carriage is ready. Another attendant approached the three men.
"Take a good look at the evidence in that room, and I'll go back with the two adults. Shen Wei patted the little guard on the shoulder, took Gu Yixuan and Lin Feng into the carriage, and went straight to the barren forest.
And on this side, in a ruined temple in the barren forest, a dark shadow shrank in a corner tremblingly, alert to all movements outside. At the slightest sound, the shadow shivered violently.
Holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, he chanted the words in his mouth: "The ocean is young, the sun rises in the east, I give the spirit talisman, sweep the ominous, spit the fire of the mountains, the light of the Fu Feimen, mention the monster all over the world, break the plague and eat King Kong with the year, subdue the demon dead, turn into auspicious, Taishang Laojun Wu Ji Ji is like the law !!" over and over again, it seems that as long as he keeps reciting these spells, the evil will not be close, and his heart is more peaceful.
There was a soft sound, like the sound of something stepping on a dead branch, and the man jumped up, poked his head out, and stretched his ear towards the gate of the ruined temple.
There was another bang, and a low roar. The man in the dark, frightened, his heart had already risen to his throat, and he hugged himself in the corner and was so frightened that he did not dare to make a sound.
It's here again... The despair in his heart made him worse than dead, and after listening to the terrible screams outside the ruined temple, there was a burst of flesh and skin tearing.
He couldn't stand it, such a frightened, desperate and helpless day. When night fell, the thing would wander around the ruined temple, scaring him with fear.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move and couldn't see the way, why wait for death in this place...
The moonlight deviated slightly, and a glimmer of light shone into the ruined temple, shining right on the man's face.
The thin figure, the fingers were like the dry branches beside him, the face of a sharp-beaked monkey was sallow, and what was even more terrifying was that where his eyes should have been, there were two empty blood holes!
