Chapter 8: Ritual Instruments

The ancient and old-fashioned courtyard not only does not seem to give people an old feeling, but is full of a quaint atmosphere, and when Ma Xiaotao came back this time, he suddenly had a sense of peace of mind, not only him, but even Zhao Ying, who was in a nervous state on weekdays, and as she got closer, her heart was also peaceful.

There was an old chain hanging on the door, which looked a little old, Ma Xiaotao took out the key from the backpack he was carrying, opened the chain and pushed the door open.

The first thing I saw was a lonely ancient tree, in the cold winter, the leaves had already withered and withered, and they fell all over the ground.

"Finally back here once." Everything is familiar and everything is so familiar in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, and everything in the courtyard can evoke Ma Xiaotao's childhood memories.

"This is where you used to live." Unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is undoubtedly much quieter, but it lacks a sense of popularity, but it doesn't seem lifeless because it's lonely.

Zhao Ying also came to such a place for the first time, and it was inevitable that she was a little touched in her heart.

"We haven't been back for more than a decade, maybe we're busy." Ma Xiaotao said with a wry smile, and then raised his feet and pushed open the door of the house.

For a morning, both of them were busy cleaning the courtyard, and in the city, about 100 kilometers away, something happened again.

The murder of the walking corpse has been accepted by the special department, and they have quickly achieved results, and they have also locked their suspicions through their special skills.

After a fight, the target fled and his whereabouts were unknown, but that night, the tragedy happened again, and it happened one after another, at the same time and in different places, there were walking corpse murders!

In the police chief's office, Director Li Mingfeng was looking at the documents of the last few days, and as he watched, his face became more and more ugly.

"Chief, these are the three murders that happened last night, according to the forensic examination, the time of death was all around 12 o'clock in the morning to 1 o'clock in the morning, one of the crime scenes is in the suburbs, one is in the city center, and the other is not far from our police substation."

"Have the identities of the deceased been investigated, and what are the results?" After Li Mingfeng put down the documents in his hand, he said with a gloomy face.

"One of the deceased has been identified as a resident of the city, and the other two are from other places, and their identities are still under investigation." Li Tao resumed his words, but after he hesitated for a moment, he opened his mouth to ask something, but he didn't say anything, but the hesitant expression fell in Li Mingfeng's eyes.

"Say whatever you want, don't be submissive."

"Yes!"

"Director, doesn't it say that everyone in the special department has special skills, but why can't they even deal with a small walking corpse, but cases occur frequently? If this happens a few times, it will definitely cause panic among the people, and if the people make a fuss at that time, what can be done? ”

At this moment, Li Mingfeng also fell silent, cases occur frequently, and he is also under a lot of pressure now, and it is said that Shangfeng has also received the news and asked him to solve the case as soon as possible, but this case has been transferred to the special department, if he takes over such a case now, it will be difficult for the special department to explain.

And even if he accepts the case, what is he going to do with the walking corpse?

"Where's Zhao Ying, where is she?" did not answer Li Tao's question, Li Mingfeng instead cared about Zhao Ying, on the one hand, Zhao Ying came to report such cases to him, he felt strange when he didn't see Zhao Ying, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know Ma Xiaotao's news.

"Zhao Ying had already asked for leave last night, and Ma Xiaotao had also asked for leave to rest yesterday, maybe the two of them are together now."

"Contact them immediately to return to the team as soon as possible, and tell Zhao Ying to let him talk about Ma Xiaotao no matter what, this case needs Ma Xiaotao's help!" After a moment of silence, Li Mingfeng's eyes flashed and he made a decision.

"Yes!"

Li Tao turned around and left here after a salute, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since he received the report last night, his heart has been worried, and it seems that the matter of the walking corpse has not dealt a small blow to his spirit.

After all, walking corpses are similar to zombies, they all suck blood, and he had only seen that thing in movies, but after seeing Ma Xiaotao's forensic identification that night, he had to accept the existence of zombies.

"I only hope that Ma Xiaotao can make a move, after all, for the special department, I still think that Ma Xiaotao may find a way to crack it!" For some reason, although he didn't see Ma Xiaotao's strange ability, he always had a feeling that Ma Xiaotao would definitely be able to solve this matter!

However, when he called, whether it was Ma Xiaotao and Zhao Ying's calls, none of them could be connected!

Because at this time, after cleaning the courtyard, under the leadership of Ma Xiaotao, they came directly to a secret room, the secret room should have been built when the courtyard was built, and the secret room is very large, and what is displayed in front of them at this moment is a statue with a height of more than three meters.

There is a square table in front of the statue, and there is an incense burner on the table, and Ma Xiaotao has a pious face on his face: "Yuan Shi Tianzun is on top, and Ma Xiaotao, the thirty-second generation of the Ma family, respects it." He lit three sticks of incense, bowed respectfully, and inserted them on the incense burner.

"Our Ma family comes from the Daomen, and all the Dao methods we practice have evolved from some of the Daomen's spells." After respectfully putting on three sticks of incense, Ma Xiaotao explained to Zhao Ying.

"If you suddenly want to come back today, you shouldn't just be incense to your ancestors." Zhao Ying nodded understandingly, but her perception told her that Ma Xiaotao should have something to do when she came back this time, and it was precisely because of this intuition that Zhao Ying insisted on asking for leave and followed Ma Xiaotao here.

"Not bad!"

Ma Xiaotao admitted, nodded and said: "I came back this time, in addition to incense, the more important thing is to take away a few magic weapons, because last night, I have already fought with that guy, although I won by luck, but I won, it's just the basis for that guy to control with a secret method, if I meet a real person, I will never be his opponent!" ”

"You fought someone last night?" Zhao Ying, after hearing the news, was taken aback, he didn't find out that Ma Xiaotao had found the murderer so quickly, and he had fought with him!

However, in the next moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her face was incredulous!

"You shouldn't say that the thunder that appeared last night was caused by you!"
