Chapter 16: The Ghost Furnace

Han Yu and I came out of the hospital in the early hours of the morning, with three stitches on our heads and feet, the night wind blew on the wound, the pain made my alcohol dissipate, and the person regained consciousness, gently touched the bandaged wound, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he was such a big person, and he would still be angry.

Wine and women are both harmful things, and as a result, they touch both in one night.

Han Yu was sarcastic and persuasive beside me, I felt the cigarette in the corner of my mouth, fumbled with the lighter, and the slight movement of my face could also pull out the severe pain.

"What the hell is the origin of the prince?" I calmed down a lot and asked lightly.

"I also heard that the prince's father is a gang boss, but few people have seen it in a simple place, his name is very loud outside, the three religions and nine streams are all from the rivers and lakes, his father is also a respected person in the underworld, many things are not manageable by the police, the underworld has the rules of the underworld, but I have never heard of anything about being a traitor." Han Yu spread his hands and said ambiguously. "A few years ago, the prince's father washed his hands in a golden basin, and the position was handed over to the prince, this person seemed to appear out of thin air, I only know that after he took over the gang, he was even more calm, and the management was even more peaceful than when his father was there, then again, the security in this place is good, thanks to him, you police really want to thank the prince."

Listening to Han Yu's description is not like telling me about an underworld that does nothing evil, but like a monk with great compassion.

"What's the prince's name?" I lit a cigarette and asked thoughtfully.

"I really don't know this, people outside call him that." Han Yu shook his head.

When I returned to the Lechuan Inn, I hesitated to stand opposite the street entrance, Yun Duruo was sitting at the door of the store with his coat on, and when he saw me and Han Yu coming back, he stood up and walked over, Han Yu went to open the door with interest, leaving me and Yun Duruo standing outside.

"How's the wound on the head?" Yun Duruo asked apologetically with his shoulders crossed.

"I can't die, it's a little broken." I stubbornly puffed my chest out, and I didn't care.

"You've drunk too much tonight, unlike you I know." Yun Duruo sighed.

"Really?" I took a deep puff of my cigarette and asked with a faint smile. "What you know me should be."

"Since you're okay, I'll go back first." Yun Duruo looked at my forehead and said with concern. "Otherwise, don't go to the bureau tomorrow, I'll help you ask for leave."

"Do you know what you're doing, you're a police officer, you're in contact with people with triad backgrounds, do you know what the consequences are, if someone sees it and spreads it......" I frowned and said to her in a serious tone, not knowing how to continue.

"My own affairs are measured, not to mention that things are not what you think, you are a forensic doctor, I believe you have also learned, see the essence through the phenomenon."

"You're blatantly with the prince, do you still have measure?" My voice became a little anxious.

"Do you care that I get too close to the gangsters, or do you care that I get too close to the prince?" Yun Duruo raised his head and asked lightly.

I......

I was speechless for a moment, and suddenly realized that I couldn't answer her question, and I spoke too hard, and the wound on my forehead was so painful that I covered the wound and found that the blood stains were soaked again.

"Don't stand outside, come in and say, this is Bliss Street, and you two stand outside most of the night." Han Yu stood at the door and said hello. "I don't know who I'm going to scare."

Yun Duruo and I returned to the Lechuan inn one after the other, Han Yu went to pour water for us, as soon as he sat down Yinyue walked over from the idle courtyard, looking at Yun Duruo's expression should still be a little jealous of it, Yinyue stared at her for a while, snuggled up to me, rubbed my thigh with her head, as if she felt sorry for me, I stroked Yinyue's head.

Yun Duruo hesitated, but still stood beside me, reached out to untie the gauze on my head, touched my wound, and I subconsciously hid back in pain.

"Don't move, you're a doctor anyway, and the wound is easy to get infected if you don't treat it well." Yun Duruo gently removed the gauze and faced Han Yu, who had just come out. "Get some alcohol and clean gauze."

Yun Duruo stood in front of me close at hand, undistracted to help me with the wound, but the delicate fragrance of her body kept lingering on the tip of my nose, and I was overwhelmed, and the more I tried to avoid the wound, the more painful it became.

The alcohol soaked into the wound as I cleaned the periphery, I tried to grit my teeth and not let her see my grinning appearance, Han Yu sat opposite us out of place, looking at us intently, several times I wanted him to go back to the second floor, but he didn't understand the meaning of my eyes at all.

Silence spread through the room, my body stiffened and I didn't know what to do, and every time Yun Duruo touched my skin, there was a feeling of electric numbness, which was enough to make me forget the pain of the wound.

"Is there any progress in the case, the deadline given by the butcher is almost up." I incoherently tried to find a topic to ease the silence of the room.

"There is no major progress, I was expecting to find the video tape and maybe there will be new clues, but Dao Yuan Tang has been rummaged through, and nothing has been found." Yun Duruo carefully treated the wound and replied calmly.

"Could it be that Zhang Songlin collected the video tapes in other places, and not in Daoyuan Hall."

"The information from the investigation shows that Zhang Songlin only has one property in Daoyuantang, if it is not placed in Daoyuantang, then it is really a needle in a haystack to find it, and there is not even a direction." Yun Duruo's movements paused briefly, and I guess she was actually very anxious in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of me. "By the way, the four baby corpses found under the bed, do you have any new discoveries after the autopsy?"

I sighed, shook my head weakly, forgot about the wound on my head, it was so soaked in alcohol that it hurt so much that I almost didn't cry out, and I replied with the pain.

"It's all natural deaths, I don't understand why they were nailed to the bottom of the bed, the corpse has traces of being burned, a large amount of residual paraffin vapor was found on the corpse, due to the dry shrinkage of the corpse and the liquefaction of subcutaneous fat, so it is very likely that the corpse was grilled by candles, but the reason is unknown."

"Candle barbecue?" Han Yu next to him suddenly interjected, his expression was very strange. "How old are those corpses that were found under the bed in Daoyuan Hall last time?"

"The oldest is two years old, and the youngest is half a year old, and they are all babies." After Yun Duruo finished answering, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Han Yu. "Any questions?"

"Are the jaws burned the most from these four children's corpses?" Han Yu asked solemnly.

I thought about it, and it was true, and I noticed this detail during the autopsy before, but because the body had burn marks all over its body, I didn't pay much attention to it.

"Raising corpses?!" After Han Yu received my reply, he muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Yun Duruo had already redressed my wound and sat down and asked in surprise.

"Raising corpses? What is Raising a Corpse? ”

"Before, the feng shui bureau on the second floor of the Daoyuan Hall was the Luan bed sleeping corpse bureau of the Yin House, I have always wondered why the Yin Mansion Feng Shui Bureau was placed in the Yang House, you just said that the corpse under the bed is less than three years old, I only understood the meaning." Han Yu looked at us seriously and replied. "Since the Northern Song Dynasty, there has been a saying that Gu is raised in the south, ghosts are raised in the north, and corpses are raised in the middle.

"Corpse Farm?!" I was dumbfounded, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time. "Corpses can also be raised?"

"In the secret book of distinguishing the dragon, there are many records about the place where the corpse is raised, such as the natural feng shui points such as the dead tripe hole, the dog brain case point, the broken face Wenqu, etc., which are all vicious places that form the main corpse." Han Yu nodded with a heavy face and replied in a low voice. "The corpse raising ground is the most terrifying and dangerous cemetery in feng shui, the corpse is buried and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and the yang energy of the living people will become controlled over time, and the feng shui bureau of the luan bed sleeping corpse will transform the Daoyuan Hall into a corpse raising place in the yang house."

"You mean, the corpse under Zhang Songlin's bed was raised by him?" I asked in surprise.

"Where does he have that kind of way, the place where the corpse is raised is cold, and it is rarely mentioned in the Taoist secret arts, because it hurts Tianyuan too much, the caster's Dao power and summoning forgiveness power must be extremely profound, otherwise he will eat the consequences, Zhang Songlin is just sleeping on it like an ingredient, letting the corpse absorb its Yang Yuan, and it is a matter of time before he dies."

"Then why bake with candles?" I've always been curious about this.

"This is also my strange place, as I said just now, raising corpses in China refers to the Central Plains after the Northern Song Dynasty, and there is only one purpose for using candles to roast the chins of children under the age of three." Han Yu's face was solemn and he paused for a moment. "Extract the corpse oil!"

The more I listened to Han Yu, the more shocked I became, these are things that I have never been exposed to before, if it weren't for Han Yu helping to find the body under the bed, I wouldn't believe what he said, looking at Yun Duruo's expression, I guess I thought the same as me.

"Extracting corpse oil? What can corpse oil be used for? ”|.

"Raise ghosts!"

Yun Duruo and I looked at each other, a little confused for a long time, I habitually felt the cigarette in my mouth and squirmed the Adam's apple.

"Just now I was raising corpses, and now I am raising ghosts, what's the difference between these two?"

"Of course it's different, these are two different spells, although raising corpses is unorthodox, but it is also a Taoist secret art, raising ghosts is more evil, especially popular in the Nanyang area, and the most important thing for raising ghosts is corpse oil."

"Ghost ...... How to raise ghosts? Yun Duruo pursed his lips and asked blankly.

The so-called raising ghosts in the north is mainly to raise small ghosts.

First take the body of the child within the age of three after the violent death, it is best to die in the womb and do not see the light of day, this kind of baby soul Yuan Yang has not been discharged, there is a strong love of the world, the ghost pass has no name, the ghost pawn will not pull them to the underworld to report for the time being, the ghost keeper will carry the corpse back, as a ghost furnace
