133 Xia You: Hungry Meal (3)
"What do you have, you are also worthy of investigating the case, what about the power of attorney, it is just an ignorant fool being fooled by you. As far as I know, there is a starving ghost hidden in that Xia You's body, and he actually raised such an evil and didn't let the Yin and Yang Bureau know that he was guilty, and now the two dead are obviously dying of starving ghosts, and the starving ghosts in the world are almost extinct, Xia You's memory is the biggest suspect, you meddled in this case, just to protect her! ā
He said it categorically, as if he had determined that Xia You was the murderer.
"It doesn't matter who the murderer is," I fought for myself with resentment, "and since we have been commissioned, we can participate in the investigation." ā
"The person who shielded the murderer still wants to investigate? If you want to come with us and cooperate with the investigation! Weng Shilong held his face high, completely unreasonable with us.
I took a deep breath, and I was almost angry with this second ancestor: "First of all, there is no evidence that Xia You is the murderer, how can we cover it up?" You're not qualified to arrest us. ā
Weng Shilong was so arrogant: "There is a saying, here, I am the king, you see if I am qualified, last time you were lucky, this time I will see who else will help you." ā
With a wave of his hand, his men swarmed up to us, trying to forcibly arrest us?
When I was angry, the poet behind me pulled me behind him, punched out, and the first person who rushed up was knocked away by him.
He smiled coldly: "I wanted to beat you last time, do you think that the people of my team and the serious crime team arrived to help us?" You are wrong, if it weren't for them, how dare you be arrogant in front of me now! ā
When the words fell, others had already arrived in front of Weng Shilong, Weng Shilong raised his arm to block in front of him, who knew that the enemy poet punched him in the abdomen, and he immediately bent down in pain and spit out a mouthful of sour water.
"You, how dare you ......"
"Bang!"
didn't give him a chance to speak, Qiu Shishi kicked over again and kicked Weng Shilong over: "What dare you dare, your father doesn't dare to speak out loud in front of me, just rely on you kid, I didn't give you a single color, you dare to open a dyeing room, you just owe a lesson." ā
Saying that, it will not make him seriously injured or die, but it can make him very painful.
This scene was very cool to watch, followed by the left hook and the right hook on the side: "Hit, hit hard, kill this deflated three, if you don't fight, you can't make a weapon, I don't know why the flowers are so red!" ā
"You, you...... Ah......h
With Weng Shilong's screams, his subordinates finally came back to their senses, mainly because they didn't expect that Qiu Shishi really dared to attack Weng Dashao, and the "prisoners" who were generally "favored" by them either wanted to escape, or begged them for mercy, how could anyone beat their vice-captain first in full view of the public?
They attacked the Qiu poet again, trying to save their boss, but this is a group of villains who slap the horse, usually thinking about how to please Wang Shilong, how can they cultivate well, and even, among them, some people can only sense a little bit of unusual qi at most, and they have no cultivation at all, no different from ordinary people, just this, how can they be the opponent of the Qiu poet, and it is not enough for the Qiu poet to fight again.
The sound of fists hitting the flesh was incessant, and I watched nervously, my hands clenched into fists in my chest, and my feet jumped, when I suddenly noticed that someone was quietly approaching me.
I guess I think I can't beat the poet, so I will be caught as a threat.
It's good to think about it, but I'm going to be impressed in three days, and I'm the idiot who didn't know anything at the beginning?
I pretended not to know, but when he actually threw his hand at me, I turned around sharply, exhaled at him, and squirted.
The cool qi drilled into his brain, and at present, I know that there is nothing purer than my yin qi, and as soon as this person absorbed it, he suddenly felt like he was drunk, and he was in a trance, and he was still smirking at me.
"I'll fight!"
A punch was aimed at his nose, which was a very sensitive part of the face, and when it hurt more than anywhere, his eyes became cross-eyed, and his nosebleeds flowed out, and when I pushed him again, he had already fallen to the ground, and he would not be better for a while.
By the time Qiu Shishi and I left, there was only a group of special department teams left at the scene of the murder and a group of people who fell to the ground and groaned.
We went home directly, but we were not afraid that Weng Shilong would call his ancestors out for generations to find trouble, except for himself, no one really looked at him in his eyes.
When we got home, we went into the small attic, and the poet lit incense in front of the Buddhist shrine, and I obeyed his instructions, sat cross-legged on the futon, and he took a section of the burned incense ashes, and sprinkled a little on the top of my head and a little on the floor in front of me.
"Close your eyes."
I listened to him, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt his finger on my eyebrows: "Focus, carefully recall the scene when I saw Xia You."
A scorching heat that was different from what he usually gave me, but a cold and cold air current, flowed into my brain, which made me completely wake up, and I thought back to the scene at that time, only to feel that the picture became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, I found myself standing in the vegetable patch behind the house, with one foot in the ditch, and the rain was still falling, and I was almost unable to hold the umbrella in my hand when the rain washed over the ground.
I hurriedly looked up, and I really saw Xia You.
"Xia You!" I called out to her, and she only looked at me quietly for a few seconds, then turned away, and I hurried to follow.
As soon as I stepped out of the ditch, I felt like I had stepped into another world, and the road in front of me was still the same road, but it was like a shaking scene in an anime, and that road was better connected to the edge of the sky.
Seeing that Xia You was about to leave without a trace, I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly followed, running and running, I really ran to the end of the road, and if I took a step further, I was afraid that I would fall into the endless abyss.
But Xia You is gone, the same road, she still walks straight at the end, and then I can't see it, and now I have to take this step towards the edge that seems to be connected to the abyss?
After just a few breaths, I chose to trust my instincts and take a step forward.
Then I walked into a room.
The room was very large, but very dirty, and it seemed to have a hazy gauze shrouded in it, and I only saw a large cauldron in the house, which was more than a meter high and one meter five wide, and there was a firewood burning under the cauldron, and the water in the cauldron had begun to steam.
What horrified me was that there was a man hanging from the cauldron with a rope tied to his hand, and if the rope was cut, the person would fall into the cauldron, and if the water boiled completely, the person who fell would have to be scalded out if he did not die.
And the person who was hung was Xia You!
"Xia You!" I ran towards her in a panic, but she opened her eyes at this moment, and the moment she looked at me, my soul shook, and the next second, I found that I was back, still sitting in front of the Buddhist altar, and the poet silently withdrew the hand that was in front of my forehead.
"I see her, I see Xia You." I hurriedly grabbed Qiu Shishi's hand to recover, "We must hurry up and save her, or she will be boiled and eaten!" ā
"There's no hurry." Qiu Shiren had expected it, and was not surprised, he put away the incense ashes on my head, and combined them with the ones on the ground, and then, the incense ashes actually moved, and slowly, they formed a very small human appearance, only half the size of my little finger.
"What is this?"
Qiu Shiren didn't answer and asked: "Do you know where Xia You was imprisoned?" ā
I tried to remember, but I could only shake my head: "I just remember that the place was quite spacious, but it was dirty, and there was a mess of everything, but I don't remember how I got to that place, and I don't know what it was." ā
"That's it." He pointed to the incense ash figure on the ground, "This is a little thought of you at that time, it will lead us to Xia You." ā
"Really? Let's go! ā
As soon as the poet flicked his fingertips, the incense ash villain on the ground floated forward, and the two of us followed behind.
After getting into the car, Qiu Shishi put it in front of the steering wheel, as long as it turned to that side, he looked in which way, and finally, he came to the largest garbage dump in the magic capital.
That's just, a mountain full of garbage!
There's also a foul smell that challenges your nerves all the time.
"The other party is quite smart and found such a place." Qiu Shishi said coldly and got out of the car with the incense ash villain.
I got out of the car and swept it over, and there was a foul air all over the sky, and if there was a ghost hiding here, it would not be easy to find it.
However, as the saying goes, the most filthy place can actually suppress evil, and ordinary ghosts will not choose such a place, so although this place is easy to hide, there will be no ghosts willing to come.
Is there any way for the other party to escape being suppressed by this filth?
Qiu Shishi released the incense ash villain, and the villain was also dizzy by the turbidity in the sky for a few seconds, it was transformed by my mind, and I was also dizzy, very uncomfortable.
Qiu Shishi gave me some of the mysterious water, and I was relieved, and as soon as I was in good spirits, the little man of incense and ash also got better, and quickly found the right direction, and finally led us into an abandoned house near the garbage dump.
There was also a small town near the garbage dump in the early years, but later they were all relocated, and it became a garbage dump completely, only a few houses are still there now, but no one lives there, and there were beggars who lived here earlier, but the garbage dump is a place, ghosts and ghosts can't stay, not to mention people, the beggars themselves are unlucky, and they have lived here for a long time, either they die of illness, or they have changed places early.
So, when we entered what could have been a warehouse, there were beggars and homeless belongings, and a lot of garbage piled up here, and I said dirty, to put it mildly, looking at the flies flying everywhere, the dog shit and cat poop hidden in the garbage, and the black-looking and shiny rats that slipped out from time to time and then hid out of sight...... I just don't think I'm clean, and I'm about to have one.
But I couldn't run away, because I really saw the inside of the warehouse, there was really a cauldron that was burning, and Xia You was indeed tied to the cauldron.
"Xia You!" Qiu Shishi and I rushed in, I shouted Xia You, but Xia You closed her eyes and her head fell on her straight arm, no matter how I called her, she didn't respond.
Qiu Shiren frowned slightly, looking at the rope that tied Xia's right wrist, not knowing what he was thinking.
I was so anxious that I said, "Let's put people down first, right?" ā
Looking at the water in the cauldron that had already boiled, I was terrified, in case someone fell down......
"Can't, can't put it!"
A weak voice sounded, and I realized that somewhere where a few pieces of furniture were stacked, there was a very weak-looking soul hiding from it.
That soul seems to be very unstable, and staying in this place makes his soul weak.
I saw that his face was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered: "Tie Ming? ā
Tie Ming, the son of the old couple, was one of the people who was killed by the starving ghost.
"Can you see me?" Hearing me call out his name and my eyes on him, Tie Ming was extremely excited: "Great, finally someone can see me......"
"What's going on, why are you here?" After asking these two questions, I waved my hand, "Put these aside first, what do you mean when you just said you can't put them away?" ā
Needless to say, Qiu Shishi told me: "This rope has been spelled, and once someone touches it, it will immediately cut off Xia You's hands." ā
In that case, even if you can catch Xia You in time and prevent her from falling into the cauldron, the hands are about to be broken: "Damn, this is too vicious, can you crack it?" ā
"Yes." Qiu Shishi said that he has never said vain words, saying that he can is able.
"I need some time, you can help me protect the Fa, can you do it?"
When I heard this, my heart was quite shaken, this was the first time that I was told such an important task by the poet of hatred, and I was excited, happy, and afraid.
But I didn't refuse, and I didn't ask myself if I could, I nodded vigorously: "Okay, I can!" ā
The corners of Qiu Shishi's mouth were slightly hooked, and with his height, he patted the back of my head, and then walked towards the cauldron, leaving only a very soft voice in my ears:
"Watch your surroundings."
He pulled out a piece of cloth and covered the entire pot, including the fire under the pot, the pot was one meter high, plus the flame under the bottom, there was a height of one meter seven or eight, he directly opened his hands and pressed them on both sides of the cauldron through the cloth, the muscles of his arms collapsed, and the cauldron was supported by him, and the big cloth was suspended in the air, and the fire was not seen, as if it was lifted together with the cauldron.
Qiu Shiren moved this cauldron to another position, so that Xia You's body was empty.
After that, he drew the formation on the empty ground under Xia You, and I carefully watched every stroke of his pen, as well as put down the spirit stone in the established corner, every step was very accurate, no need to deliberately calculate, it was like a casual placement by feeling, that is really a thorough understanding of the formation, and it can only be done by having a sense of nature.
I admired and focused most of my attention around me, and since he had reminded me, something would happen.
Seeing Tie Ming huddled in the corner, I asked, "Why are you here?" ā
He shook his head hesitantly: "I don't know, I woke up here, this, this young lady was also tied up here, and then I saw several people carrying this cauldron under this young lady, and there was a fire, I asked them what they were going to do, but they couldn't see me, I, I remembered that I was dead...... Then I heard a voice say to me, "Let me watch the fire, and let it go out, and eat me," and said, "Whoever dares to touch the rope, the rope will directly cut her hand, and see who dares to touch it." ā
When he said the last sentence, he craned his neck: "I didn't say it. ā
"Who's that?"
"IāI only hear voices, I don't see people."
I looked at the cauldron that was still covered by a large cloth: "Then we have touched this pot now, won't you stop it?" ā
He straightened up slightly: "I, I'm not stupid, when he wants to eat this young lady, I'm just the next seasoning, I've tried, I can't get out of this warehouse, I can't escape." ā
Then he looked at us wistfully: "Maybe, maybe you can save this young lady, and you can save me." ā
I chuckled, "You're smart." Then you said, the person who carried the cauldron over is ......"
Before I could finish asking, when Qiu Shishi's formation was about to be completed, I heard the sound of rustling, and I immediately cheered up and stared around.
Is this sound a mouse?
There is a pile of paper in the corner of the warehouse, the paper is folded one by one, it is likely that the previous beggar or homeless man picked it up and planned to sell it, but then I don't know why it was not sold, is the beggar dead, or is it not wanted?
The sound came from that place, and I waited a little while, and then I saw the paper move...... No, it's something hidden under the paperwork...... It's a man!
A man with long hair knotted into a bird's nest, dirty and torn clothes, and a face and skin black with his exposed face and skin came out of the pile of paper.
Is it a tramp?
No, even if it is a man who has lost his will, his gaze should not be like this, like a beast that has been hungry for a long time finally sees its prey!
"Hungry, I'm so hungry, give me food, give me food......" The man's voice seemed to come out of his throat, and he didn't get up, just crawled on the ground and crawled towards us.
The sight of his eyes was Xia You, and Xia You was a piece of barbecue meat roasted with cumin and very delicious.
Qiu Shiren had already drawn the formation at this time, and he was standing in the formation, trying to save Xia You, and I turned sideways and blocked the homeless man.
I stared at the homeless man, but I didn't see anything in his body, but there was a black gas hanging over his head like a thing, but he was not possessed by a ghost, looking at his surface, although he was skinny, but this was probably because he was hungry after being a homeless man, and he was not absorbed from the nutrients and vitality in his body, so I guessed that he was just controlled and his mind was affected.
Good hands and feet but become a vagabond, this kind of people are generally weak-willed, and it is not surprising that their spirits are controlled.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry ......"
He crawled unusually fast, and I didn't have to wait long before he came to me, and I picked up the stick, the kind that was cut into a rectangular shape for construction, and as soon as he came to my range, I slapped it down, and the edges and corners of the stick were enough for him to hurt.
The homeless man was knocked to the ground by me, although his brain was controlled, but his body was human, and even if he still insisted on crawling again, he could only flutter on the ground for a while.
I didn't let my guard down and looked in the other direction.
I saw a dilapidated cabinet suddenly opened, and an equally thin man walked out, his cloudy and red eyes made a "gurgling" sound in his throat after seeing Xia You, and rushed over like the previous one, and I swung a wooden stick to slap it over like playing baseball.
These two are just the beginning, there are always people coming out of places where there was no movement before, in addition, outside the warehouse, there are also beggars and homeless people who have begun to gather here, similar to the zombie siege in zombie movies, the difference is that it is the living people who surround us, and I have to pay attention to the fact that I can't kill them.
It's not a way to fight like this, they pounced in all directions, I can block this side and can't block that, and, in addition to people, those rats who hide when they see people actually came out, and their eyes glowed and ran towards Xia You.
In the garbage dump, there is no shortage of rats, I can't catch so many mice, so I simply took out the rune paper, and pasted a circle of rune paper around the periphery of the formation that Qiu Shiren had just arranged, and the rune paper lit up and connected in a circle.
This aperture can drive away evil spirits, even I feel afraid to approach at will, these controlled people or rats, all have evil qi on their bodies, once they get close will be "disinfected", for a while, they stand outside the talisman, carefully probing, this bought me time, one person and one stick to beat them back, and then blow yin qi on them, so that they are unconscious, then the evil qi on their heads is blocked outside the yin qi, but they can't help them.
Not to mention, I still have a sense of accomplishment, I didn't pay attention for a while, the yin qi blew out too much, and my head was dizzy.
At this time, Qiu Shishi finally successfully cut the rope that tied Xia You's hands, Xia You fell down and was caught by him, but I didn't expect it, as soon as Xia You landed, his eyes opened instantly, and he bit at Qiu Shishi with a mouth, fortunately, Qiu Shishi was prepared, and there was an extra palm-sized wooden block in his hand, which was stuffed into Xia You's mouth, so that she bit the wooden block, and couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out.
She screamed "whining" in her mouth, completely unrecognizable and crazy, and Qiu Shishi pointed at her head, and she fainted again.
I walked over, and was about to ask what to do next, when someone rushed in again, I immediately raised the wooden stick and held it diagonally in front of me, but I saw that it was Lingyu who came in, and only two henchmen were brought behind me.
I immediately asked, "You're also here to catch Xia You?" She's been tied up here, and she didn't kill those two lives. ā
Ling Yu still had that grim look: "Even if she didn't kill her, it has something to do with her, at least the murderer is likely to come at her." ā
Fortunately, she was not as brainless as Weng Shilong, and continued: "In this way, her situation is obviously wrong, send her to the hospital first, let a third party watch her, and we will continue to investigate, I think you also want to find the real murderer." ā
I was a little confused: "Hospital? Can you see Xia You? ā
"Don't you know, there is also a Yin-Yang Hospital in the Yin-Yang Realm, it does not belong to the Yin-Yang Bureau, nor does it belong to the Yin-Yang Association, it is open like all the capable people in the Yin-Yang Realm, demons and monsters, and the degree of supervision there is no less than that of a prison, and it is absolutely fair, and it will not favor either of us."
