The next day, Yang Ying rushed to the police station early in the morning, while Master He Wentian and Senior Brother Zhou Yun went out to search around to see if they could find any clues.

The police station was lifeless, and it seemed to be covered with deep black clouds, and the mountain rain was coming, and the mountain wind was all over the room.

Yang Ying found his captain to report on yesterday's investigation, "Team Wang, I went to the scene yesterday to take a look, and there are no other clues, but ......"

Yang Ying closed the door with her hand back and said softly, "I saw something strange with my own eyes. ”

Captain Wang asked eagerly, "What's the matter?" ”

This is about whether the case can be solved as soon as possible, and the pressure from above is very high, which makes people panic, lest they don't know who will be next.

"I saw two Taoist priests catching ghosts in the villa at night, saying that someone raised ghosts to kill the rich businessman." Yang Ying frowned.

"Full of nonsense, there are ghosts in this world? Ghost believes! Team Wang said angrily.

"But Team Wang, I really saw that ghost with my own eyes, and he still has three heads." Yang Ying remembered the scene at that time, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her expression was a little frightened.

"Nonsense, you're dazzled." Team Wang knocked Yang Ying on the head.

"However, Team Wang ......," Yang Ying hurriedly defended.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll suspend you if you say it!" Team Wang was a little angry, "As a policeman, you would actually believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. Okay, you go out. ”

Yang Ying wanted to defend herself, but she sighed and walked out the door.

I thought I could solve the case and get a promotion or something. As a result, he was not praised, but was scolded for his head and face. But also, who would believe that there are really ghosts in this world? Even if you see it with your own eyes, you may think that you are dazzled. After all, those things only seem to exist in legends. Moreover, under the leadership of D, we will not believe in the so-called feudal superstition, but only willing to believe in a harmonious society and create harmony together. Those who are gods and ghosts, ignore you and despise you; The heavier ones are directly blocked, erased speech, and said that you disturb public order. Even if there is any accident, it can only be said to be a miracle. As for believing or not believing, he believed anyway. So, you have to follow the faith.

Yang Ying returned to her seat and began to study the recent bizarre suicides. Since a month ago, a wealthy businessman or official has committed suicide every week, and by now, four people have died.

The first is the secretary of the district party committee of District M. When the part-time worker went to clean the house, he found himself dead at home. He was stabbed 11 times in the body and died of excessive blood loss. Because his wife went back to her parents' house, he was the only one in the family. And on the fruit knife he was holding in his hand, there was only his fingerprint. All this proves that he died by suicide. But if a person wants to commit suicide, he will stab himself in the body as many as 11 times? As long as you stab the heart or cut the major arteries, won't you be free? But none of the wounds on his body were fatal, they were forced to die of excessive blood loss. On the wall of the room is written, 'Wash away my sins with my blood'.

The second is the director of the demolition and relocation office in Area M. He was on a business trip and was found dead in a hotel room. The waiter saw that he hadn't checked out by the time, so he came up to check. As a result, he was found drowned in the washbasin. He was still alone, and surveillance showed that no one had entered his room. I thought that maybe he had some kind of illness, such as epilepsy or something, and he fainted in the washbasin for a while before he drowned, but it was just an accident. But there was a note on the table, 'Soak my filthy soul with clear water.'" It is said that it was a suicide, and there were water stains everywhere outside the basin, and it seemed that he had made a strong struggle before he died. It is said to be murder, but there is no basis for it.

The third is the owner of a security company. was found dead in bed at home by his wife, who had returned from abroad, and the cause of death was death from thirst. The computer I opened read, 'Atonement to heaven for my greed.'" The water dispenser in his house was full, and there was a large bottle of iced tea on the table in his bedroom. But, for some reason, he died of thirst in his bed. The people in the company thought he was on a business trip and his wife happened to be traveling abroad. When I came back, I found that my husband was dying of thirst in his own bed.

The fourth, naturally, is the rich merchant of the villa, needless to say.

Yang Ying was confused, it seemed that everything was unrelated, but the cause and method of their death were a little strange. The secretary of the district party committee committed suicide, but chose to use 11 knives to kill his surname, obviously his family lived on the 18th floor, and if he wanted to commit suicide, he would be killed as long as he jumped; The director of the demolition and relocation office drowned in the washbasin, and it was clear that there was a river downstairs in the hotel, and he drowned like jumping down; The boss of the security company would die of thirst at home, with freshly opened iced black tea in front of him; The wealthy merchant was hanged in the air on an 8-meter-high crystal lamp, and there was a whole bottle of sleeping pills in the bedroom desk. Obviously, you can choose a more comfortable way to die, but they all die shockingly and make people suspicious.

However, it seems that the scene is all the same, and they all leave a so-called 'last word'. At this glance, time flies, and it is noon in the blink of an eye. Yang Ying put down the information in her hand and prepared to go home for lunch.

At this time, some photos of the scene slipped out, but at this time, Yang Ying suddenly flashed a strange light in his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

One of the stacks of photos was the scene of the death of the district party secretary. It was the bedroom where he committed suicide. In the corner of the bedroom, a yellowed cloud of confetti caught his attention. Just like the ones on the floor of a rich merchant's bedroom. Yang Ying looked at the scene of two other suicide cases.

The corners of his mouth hooked a strange arc, hum, sure enough.

Back at home, Master He Wentian and Senior Brother Zhou Yun were sitting in the hall watching TV.

"Master, did you and Senior Brother go out and find any useful clues?" Yang Ying sat down and asked.

"Well, there are some clues, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the person who raised ghosts." He Wentian touched the beard on his chin and frowned slightly.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Let's go eat first! Yang Ying touched her stomach and walked towards the dining room with a shake.

After all, when you are hungry, your brain doesn't have so much nutrients to think about. It's better to eat your fill and think about those annoying things.

Zhou Yunle on the side blossomed, "Just wait for your words." ”

He Wentian glared at him angrily, "If you don't have any interest, you know how to eat!" ”

"Hee-hee...... Master! Who called Xiao Yang's food so delicious! There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Zhou Yun smiled embarrassedly.

"Alas...... A few years ago, you followed me around, and it was really hard. He Wentian sighed.

"Oh, Master, don't worry about those things about food in the future. As long as I, Yang Ying, am here, I am sure to let my master and brother eat and drink well! Yang Ying patted her chest and reassured.

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's go eat first." He Wentian smiled.

After lunch, the three of them sat in the study to analyze their findings and suspicions.

"Master, I found that all four suicide cases had one thing in common." Yang Ying frowned. "There are some small yellowed confetti on the scene, I don't know what's going on."

"Yellowed confetti?" He Wentian frowned, "What kind of confetti?" ”

"It seems to be, similar to the confetti of the kind of paper that my brother used when he hunted the ghost king that day. There are also some that seem to be fragments of the stalks of some plant. Yang Ying propped her arms and rolled her eyes, "By the way, I seemed to smell something familiar in the hall of that villa that day." But I just can't remember what it tasted like. ”

"Does it smell of wormwood?" He Wentian's face was serious.

"Ah......" Yang Ying realized, "Master's words are really like the smell of wormwood." But, Master, how do you know? When you go, the smell is gone! ”

"Master! Could it be ......" Zhou Yun also became nervous.

"Well, it doesn't seem that simple this time." He Wentian's expression was a little heavy.

"Master?" Yang Ying was confused.

"Yang Ying! It seems that the person who raised the ghost this time used puppetry. First, make a straw man with wormwood, and then attach your birth date to the straw man. Then possess the body with his own soul and kill the dead. He Wentian stroked his beard and thought.

"Huh?" Yang Ying opened her mouth in surprise.

"Hmm...... After that person is possessed by a straw man, he can become the size of a normal person. Just like his doppelganger, after he finishes killing people, he ignites wormwood and rune paper, and his soul returns to his body. All that was left was yellowed scraps of paper and scraps of wormwood. Zhou Yun smiled.

"But there's nothing on the surveillance?" Yang Ying was shocked.

"It's easy! As long as the straw man is placed in the victim's room in advance, and then the person is killed, the surveillance will not show that anyone is in or out. Moreover, the Maoshan faction also has a hidden word formula. It's easy to be invisible, and other factions should have such tricks! Zhou Yun continued.

"It seems that these four people should have been killed by the ghost keeper." Yang Ying nodded. "By the way, Master, did you and Senior Brother find anything this morning?"
