This is also one of the things that I find strange: the probability of a strong man in the Ming Dynasty suffering from heart disease is so high?
Putting aside the question of heart disease for a moment, I threw out another question: "When you heard the news and came to the scene, this man was lying naked in bed?" No one touched it during that time? โ
"Naturally. Before we came, Ji Tassel's mother, maid and chief took a look, and none of them dared to enter the door. โ
"That's even weirder." I tapped my fingertips on the stone table and thought, "A man in the prime of life was suddenly bitten by the person next to him...... Didn't he resist? โ
After I mentioned this, Li Lei also discovered the problem: if this man had resisted, there should be traces of struggle on the bed, and others would definitely not be in this state of lying on the bed with a peaceful face.
"Perhaps, he drank too much the night before and was drunk?" Li Lei cautiously threw out a point.
I knocked on the table and smiled helplessly: "Li Zhutou should have been drunk, how drunk do you have to be to be so drunk that you can not wake up from the pain of being bitten off two pieces of meat?" โ
Li Lei was speechless for a moment, and it happened that a catcher hurried over and said something in Li Lei's ear with a strange expression.
I saw Li Lei's copper bell eyes suddenly widen, and then, his face was replaced with an "incredible" strange look.
"The servant in the house has just examined Ji Liusu's body, and said......" He was obviously entangled, feeling that this was a little difficult to say, "She didn't show any signs of being happy with anyone last night. โ
"Huh?" Then I understood why these two people had such strange expressions: they came to find the girl in the middle of the night, and they took off their clothes but didn't carry a gun, could it be that they came to talk to the girl about life?
I summarized the behavior of the dead man in my heart: after drinking, I quietly came to the house of the secret prostitute Ji Tassel in the middle of the night, and let Ji Tassel play a piece of light music with great interest, and then nothing happened with Ji Tassel. Then, Ji Tassel went crazy and bit him twice without resistance, and then he died inexplicably.
This is also too unreasonable.
I was secretly shaking my head, but I saw Li Lei's subordinates coming to report that the investigation of the scene had ended, so Li Lei announced the end of the team, and I left Ji Liusu's house with him.
On the way, I suddenly remembered another important thing, so I told Li Lei what I had heard about Luo Dongyang and Yue Wanqing's past in the morning at the Zhangji Bakery, as well as about the Changsheng Temple in the south of the city.
"The matter of Luo Dongyang and Yue Wanqing is not bad from what we investigated, this newly appointed Caoyun Governor Lord Luo is indeed inferior to a human-faced beast." Li Lei said with a bit of indignation, and he had the taste of ignoring the case of Luofu, "As for the matter of the Changsheng Pagoda of the Immortal Temple...... I'll send someone to see it. โ
"It's not a matter of urgency, the first thing to do is to send someone to find those two rumor-mongers." The rumors in the market are not surprising, but the rumors that are so close to the truth and very logical are obviously carefully fabricated and deliberately spread by someone, "I think that as long as we keep an eye on the people who spread the rumors, we may be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes." โ
Li Lei was obedient to me at the moment, and immediately waved his hand to call two of his subordinates, and I described the appearance and direction of the two in detail, and the two catchers took the order.
"That ...... the Immortal Temple," Li Lei asked.
"Immortal Temple, I suggest we go explore tonight."
"Why?"
I deliberately put on a miserable look: "Because, according to rumors, there will only be resentful spirits and ghosts there at night......"
Girl, I am a staunch atheist who was born in the new era, grew up under the red flag, and was taught by dialectical materialism for more than 20 years......
But after witnessing these many evil women and men who died for no reason, but they couldn't tell a scientific truth at all, they suddenly had a huge brain hole:
What if I traveled to another parallel time and space, and there were ghosts, gods, and demons in this time and space?
Then ...... Gorgeous slap in the face.
In the dead of night, the "Leng Gongzi" who had changed into a dark night clothes, followed Li Lei and the two catchers on the way to the Changsheng Temple in the south of the city, and these strange thoughts came to my mind.
According to Li Lei, Changsheng Temple is located in the Qingpu forest ten miles south of Jinling City, and was once a royal temple of the previous dynasty, which was not small, but naturally declined with the change of dynasties. Nowadays, except for a few monks who have nowhere to go to spend their days in the temple, there is no one else on weekdays.
Well, it's quite a bit of the flavor of the Oolong Courtyard in the movie of the previous life.
I was looking down and thinking nonsense, when I suddenly heard Jin Zhu behind me coughing, and said loudly: "Boss, it's really boring for the four of us to be in such a hurry, why don't I tell you a story, and the right to be adjusted?" โ
Seeing that Li Lei glanced at him and ignored him, Jin Zhukuai obviously took it as a tacit meaning, so he lowered his voice and began to speak:
"In other words, it was such a dark and windy night, the corpse collector of the mass grave took care of the affairs on the post, and was about to go home, but suddenly saw a woman in white standing on the side of the road, looking depressed.
The corpse collector curiously stepped forward and asked, saying that it was so late, why was the girl here alone? The woman in white said that she was depressed and couldn't sleep, so she came out to relax. The corpse collector then persuaded: This mass grave is a place for you to relax, in case you encounter a ghost and evil spirit, it is not a joke. I kindly reminded this woman: All the corpses on the mass grave have been tied with a red rope on my arm, you must pay attention. Boss, guess what the woman in white said? โ
Seeing Li Lei's look of "too lazy to pay attention to you", I turned around and smiled miserably at Jin Zhukuaiyin, and slowly raised my right arm: "Look...... Isn't it...... Such a red rope? โ
I heard Jin Zhukuai scream "ah", jumped back two meters away, trembled and stretched out a hand to me, "You...... You ......"
When I looked at it again, there was no red rope on my arm.
I laughed out loud with a very unkind "poof", and said in my heart, girl, how many horror movies and ghost stories I have seen in my previous life, and I am embarrassed to show off your pediatric jokes.
The black-faced catcher on the side, Lao Zheng, laughed and patted Jin catcher's shoulder: "Jinzi, tell ghost stories to scare yourself like this, you can really do it!" โ
After this trouble, even Li Lei, who was full of seriousness, couldn't help grinning, and my nervous heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
So the four of us lifted our spirits and walked briskly towards the Changsheng Temple with torches.
The Eternal Life Temple, as we expected, was a desolate and dilapidated scene.
But to our surprise, the whole temple was dark and silent, and the legendary monk who guarded the temple did not see a single one.
"Chief......" Under the reflection of the torch, Jin Zhukuai's face became more and more ugly, "You say, those monks ...... They can't all be killed by ghosts, right? Why aren't they there? โ
Seeing that he was about to disturb the army's heart again, I turned my head and replied angrily for Li Lei: "Jin Zhukuai, if you are a monk in this Immortal Temple, and you hear that your temple is haunted, do you quickly pack up your things and run away, or stay here and wait for the ghost to talk to you?" โ
โโฆโฆ Also. โ
The four of us groped for a long time in the huge temple before finally finding the legendary Eternal Life Pagoda.
And this seven-story stone tower really fell to the ground.
"Really...... It's a shame! Jin Zhu let out a low exclamation, and even the black-faced Lao Zheng gasped.
I forced myself to hold the hair in my heart and said to Li Lei: "Let's take a closer look at how it fell." โ
"Hmm!" Li Lei deliberately amplified his voice, as if he was cheering for himself, "Let's not do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door!" โ
Rao was like this, I still couldn't help but stretch out a hand and firmly grasp Li Lei's arm.
"If it is true, as the rumors in the market, this tower was split by thunder, then there should be scorched black marks left by thunder and fire on the tower." As I spoke, I stepped forward with Li Lei and shone the fallen tower with a torch.
"It seems...... Not really. Li Lei said after looking at it before and after.
"So ......"
I was looking down and thinking, but suddenly there was a thunderous howl from behind me:
"Ghost ...... Ghost Fire! โ
His howl, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet of the night, instantly startled a night crow in the woods, and made a sound of shaking the grass and trees, which made the girl who was already highly nervous almost fall to the ground with a weak foot.
Li Lei, who was beside me, quickly grabbed me and shouted angrily at Jin Zhu: "What's the name of the ghost!" โ
Jin Zhukuai was already crying obviously: "Boss, it's true!" Look! โ
We looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, in the dark night, two green flames floated faintly in the air without wind.
The appearance of the ghost fire made Jin Zhukuai's mentality completely collapse, and he threw the torch in his hand like crazy and turned around and ran: "There are really ghosts!" Hell! โ
Before he could run a few steps, he heard a loud "oops" and hit the ground.
I endured goosebumps all over my body and took a deep breath to keep myself calm, "There are a lot of animal corpses in the wilderness forest, and it's normal for ghost fires to appear...... Let's go over and see. โ
Li Lei nodded silently, holding my arm with one hand and holding up the torch with the other, and slowly approached the ghost fire with me step by step.
The formation of ghost fire is because the bones of humans or animals contain a large amount of phosphorus, and when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, phosphorus oxide will be produced, and spontaneous combustion will occur when the heat is stored when it reaches the combustion point, which is a common chemical reaction.
From the bottom of my heart, I silently thanked my chemistry teacher in my previous life for the teachings given to me, and once again firmly used scientific knowledge and Marxism-Leninism-Mao Deng to strengthen my courage.
