Chapter Twenty-Four: Masters?
On the way back to the hotel, Ren Qiuling turned her head silently to look out of the car window. There are still many unsolved mysteries in this case: why did Dong Fengxian know that she was coming? Why did she leave a "eight" at her door? Those weird girls were obviously victims, assuming that they were kidnapped and poisoned by Wu Zhijun, then with Wu Zhijun's level of education, how could he know that there was a higher level of poison than the Voodoo cult used to refine the living dead?
Section Chief Xiao looked at Ren Qiuling's appearance, and only thought that she was afraid of death, so she felt sad and wanted to see the scenery twice. Section Chief Xiao was originally very jealous of Ren Qiuling's ability to handle cases, but now that she is dying, that jealousy has faded a lot. On the contrary, Section Chief Xiao is now surging with sympathy for Ren Qiuling in his heart.
Really, knowing that a person is going to die, but can only watch and do nothing, that kind of taste can definitely make the most hard-hearted person kind.
Section Chief Xiao silently slowed down the car, thinking in his heart that he would let Ren Qiuling take a good look at the scenery and dispel the depression in his heart.
At this time, a little boy on the side of the road was holding a paper airplane high and running along the corner of the wall hahaha. A slightly older girl in the back shouted while chasing: "Xiaohu, you dare to rob my paper airplane, you will die when I catch up!" Hold it! ”
Ren Qiuling watched the two children chase and run away, she couldn't help but smile, she remembered some of the past events in her childhood, and her heart was full of tenderness for a moment.
Suddenly, Ren Qiuling's face changed, her eyes became sharp, and she became as excited as a hound that had found a fierce beast, "Understood!" Dong Fengxian's position in this case is very important! She's the key link! ”
In Section Chief Xiao's view, Dong Fengxian is an eyewitness who "may" have survived the real murderer, "Dong Fengxian was hospitalized in the summer of 99 because of a very serious violent attack, and the murderer left eight stab wounds on her body, but did not kill her. This case is very much like the murderer of the copper serial case. Assuming that she was really attacked by the real murderer of the Zitong case, then she should hate the murderer to death, and she should tell the murderer's appearance as soon as possible, so that the police can arrest the real murderer. However, she had a strange attitude and refused to say anything, so the police deduced that she was attacked by her boyfriend because she had betrayed her. She felt guilty, so she was embarrassed to tell the truth. I don't think she has any role in this case. ”
Ren Qiuling sighed: "Human behavior is very complex, and it is extremely difficult to predict human reactions in the face of the same thing. On the first day I came to Zitong to handle the Zitong case, Dong Fengxian came to the hotel and left a 'eight' character on my door, which shows that she is related to this case, and it is extremely not simple; yesterday, after Lao Xu was injured, I distinctly heard a woman shouting behind a tree: 'Kill them!' Then the maidens who resembled the living dead suddenly went mad and rushed towards the idiot. If you know that we were chasing Dong Fengxian by car at that time, you can guess that the woman who gave the order was none other than Dong Fengxian! And most importantly......"
Ren Qiuling knew that this was a bold guess, but she was still willing to tell it: "Let's assume that the real culprit of the copper case is hiding in an abandoned mine cave because the black mud taken from the feet of those controlled girls carries copper ore crystals. In other words, we originally assumed that those girls were kidnapped and threatened by the real murderer of the Zitong case, so that they became the immortal appearance they are today. However, Wu Zhijun rarely talks to the victim, and his way of entering the victim's home is always to slip the door, and he has no confidence that any adult woman can trust him and open the door for him. He doesn't have the ability to control more than twenty girls, and the change in crime pattern can only mean that new criminal members have joined. That person is Dong Fengxian. ”
Section Chief Xiao couldn't accept such a big change, but felt that Ren Qiuling's imagination was too rich, "Okay! You are bent on solving the case, because if you don't solve the case, you will die - instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to rise and meet it. ”
The car made an emergency U-turn, and the rear wheels drove towards the shopping mall where Dong Fengxian worked. After arranging for the special service team to guard several intersections, Ren Qiuling entered the mall.
Dong Fengxian is the kind of woman who was once beautiful, her love history is very complicated, and she is very good at maneuvering between various characters. Even so, her status in the mall is just that of an ordinary salesperson, because any employer can feel that she is not serious about her work.
Ren Qiuling lifted the transparent curtain made of plastic and walked into the mall.
At the clothing counter, Dong Fengxian was chatting with a customer who was buying clothes. Seeing Ren Qiuling walk in, Dong Fengxian's face turned white with a "swish", and the clothes she was holding in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously. She looked at Ren Qiuling in fear, like Ren Qiuling was some kind of alien monster. She was so scared that she forgot to run away.
Ren Qiuling easily caught Dong Fengxian and took her to the park, and the two sat side by side on the bench. Dong Fengxian's coat was now held in her arms, just blocking her handcuffed wrists.
"The reason why I chose this environment to talk to you is because I want you to be able to relax." Ren Qiuling said, "I already know a lot, but I still want to give you a chance." Confess leniency and resist strict policies, you should understand. ”
Dong Fengxian knelt on the ground with a "plop", "The little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, she has offended the master, and she asks the master to forgive her." ”
Ren Qiuling stretched out her hand to help her up, "Where am I a master?" Sit down, sit down, don't be nervous! ”
Dong Fengxian said ashamedly: "Alas, I don't know your methods, and I have been sending a ghost in the field to follow you." Ren Qiuling's face was puzzled, in Dong Fengxian's opinion, it was not to take a look, "Alas! My ability to exorcise ghosts is not worth mentioning, and the masters naturally don't look down on it. This morning, you went to the headquarters of the Copper Company, waited for a group of ghosts to have a meeting, and talked to those ghosts. The ghost in my field was scared to death, and I hid under the plane tree in the yard all the time. Unexpectedly, you fell out with the ghost later, and you took out a magic weapon with a very strong spirit, which caused my ghost in the field to be seriously injured at once. ”
Ren Qiuling thought to herself: When did I see the hell? Surprised, he said, "Huh?
Dong Fengxian took this exclamation as concern, and said movingly: "Thank you Inspector for your concern, the ghost in my field is fine, he is already in charge of hell, so he naturally has publicly-funded medical treatment." However, he admired the detective very much, and praised me, saying that even if you face a group of powerful ghosts, you still don't change your face, and your attitude is very respectful. It's really a master's demeanor, and my generation can't reach it. ”
Ren Qiuling only thought that she was talking nonsense, wanting to disrupt her interrogation, and didn't take her words seriously, and asked, "Just yesterday, you hid behind a tree and gave the order to attack those girls whose brains were severely anesthetized, is there such a thing?" ”
Dong Fengxian said in fear: "I didn't know that you were a master at that time, you were really confused to death." As for those little girls, it was under the influence of the alchemy of the Mengshan Sect that they became what they are now. Of course, they are indeed terrible to ordinary people, but how can they hurt a master like you? ”
Ren Qiuling suddenly remembered that Section Chief Xiao had told herself: "You only know that there is a Mengshan Sect in Buddhism, but you don't know that Mengshan is in Shandong, not far from Shaanxi." "Dong Fengxian exorcised ghosts to listen to the news, and he knows about alchemy, does it have anything to do with Mengshan Sect?
"You're from the Mengshan Sect?" Ren Qiuling asked directly.
Dong Fengxian said ashamedly: "How can I climb the Mengshan Sect?" ”
Ren Qiuling also knew some rules in the cultivation world, and asked, "Since you are not from the Mengshan Sect, why do you exorcise ghosts and refine corpses?" ”
Dong Fengxian was afraid that Ren Qiuling was very familiar with Mengshan Sect, and accused herself of stealing from the teacher to learn art, and she would be miserable. He knelt down again and said, "I didn't steal from school!" The rules of the Mengshan Sect are extremely strict, but、But it is also allowed to pass on from father to son! My life's skills were passed down by my father, and I didn't learn them at home. If you think I shouldn't learn, you can abolish all my mana, and don't affect my dead father! "Thinking about it, the rules of Mengshan Sect are really terrifying, and even the dead can be punished, which makes Dong Fengxian afraid of being like this.
Dong Fengxian knelt on the ground, stubbornly looking up, like a child waiting to be punished.
As soon as Ren Qiuling stretched out her hand, Dong Fengxian clenched her teeth and closed her eyes in despair, and sighed - she really thought that Ren Qiuling would abolish her mana. Unexpectedly, Ren Qiuling just pulled her up and said, "Hurry up, what does this look like." ”
Ren Qiuling looked at the few tourists around and looked here, if it weren't for Section Chief Xiao and the special service team members guarding it, I was afraid that there would have been a bunch of people watching the excitement. She was afraid of scaring Dong Fengxian and making her make some amazing moves, and said kindly: "You have the skill of ghost language, it could have made predictions, but why were you still attacked by Wu Zhijun back then, and you didn't take precautions?" Dong Fengxian lowered his head and wept and said, "Don't hide it from the master, when I was attacked, the ghost language technique had already been practiced. But at that time, Wu Zhijun had already killed too many people, and he was full of evil spirits, and the ghosts couldn't get close. Therefore, the ghost language technique is ineffective for him. ”
Ren Qiuling seems to have heard Section Chief Xiao say something similar, if a person kills too much, the evil qi will be heavy, and ordinary ghosts will not be able to get close to him. However, Ren Qiuling's tentative questioning just now was really aimed at knowing whether Wu Zhijun was a murderer. Dong Fengxian's answer has clearly told Ren Qiuling that her speculation is not wrong, and Wu Zhijun is the murderer.
Ren Qiuling remained silent: "You were attacked by Wu Zhijun and almost died, why did you have to help him later?" Again, this is a tentative question, and the real purpose is to determine Dong Fengxian's status in this case.
Dong Fengxian said: "Wu Zhijun killed so many women, because none of those women understood him. I was the only one who slipped in and attacked me with his bullet, spring, knife, and I could read the look in his eyes, and he hated himself so much. I was not afraid of him, really, I said to him: 'Kill me, I hate myself too!' He was stunned, then lowered his hand and walked away. ”
"When I woke up from my hospital bed, when I knew that the knife that stabbed me in the heart would die if it missed another centimeter, I knew that Wu Zhijun had shown mercy. Really, you won't believe it, what I have sprung up with him is not hatred, but a wave of gratitude, gratitude for his grace not to kill. I really think he's merciful! I sympathize with him, and he hates himself because he always feels like a failure. I was also extremely unhappy emotionally, and I hated myself for being too soft-hearted and unable to stand being deceived by men. ”
"Then I helped him and let him gain the power of immortality by a secret method. That was the method passed down by Gu Master Zou Yan, the method of refining the human cup. Because refining human Gu and refining corpses have something in common, there are also related classics circulating in the Mengshan Sect, but that method is too cruel and painful, so no one practices it. But Wu Zhijun was too eager to succeed, even if it was a spell like refining a human Gu, he was willing to try. ”
Ren Qiuling didn't expect that the matter would be related to Zou Yan again. However, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, maybe there is a Gu player named Zou Yan?
Seeing that Dong Fengxian's attitude was very cooperative, Ren Qiuling threw out the question she wanted to know the most: "Where is Wu Zhijun hiding now!" ”
Dong Fengxian lowered her head, not looking at Ren Qiuling's eyes, but said in a very firm voice: "Master! I can't tell you. ”
Ren Qiuling couldn't help but be surprised, and then thought that she was afraid of Mengshan Sect, and she could use this to force her to tell the truth. "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Mengshan Sect what you have done?"
Dong Fengxian's attitude was even tougher: "Even if I am in a situation where I will never recover, I will protect Wu Zhijun." ”
"Because, the only woman in this world who understands him is me, and the only man who understands me is him!"
