Chapter 209. Case 22: Snuff charms

I immediately told Situ that I probably knew where that place was. My tone was a little excited, though Situ only reminded me a little. I continued to ask Situ, do you have any new information to reveal to me? Hu Zongren and I have now caught a person who has a lotus tattoo on his arm, and he himself has admitted that he is a member of the White Lotus Sect.

Hearing me say that we caught one, Situ was a little surprised. Then he asked me, "Are you in any danger now?" Were there any people in the vicinity following you when you were arresting? I said that there should be no more, this guy was detected when he was following Hu Zongren, and then I followed him all the way to catch him. Situ said, you two, you are in a hurry, when things are not clear, you should pretend to be stupid, how can you just arrest people like this?

I don't understand what Situ meant, I said what's wrong with this, people are in the dark and we are in the light, we are already very at a loss, if we don't do it, people will take the lead everywhere, then we should really go to play eggs. Situ said, you should be quiet and pretend not to find out, in this case, they will definitely have contact with each other, what is the use of you catching one person, there are so many people in the family, what is the difference between doing this and startling the snake. Situ's words choked me so much that I didn't know what to say, but I still quickly said stiffly, how could I have thought of getting so much, this person has at least the opportunity to dissolve the death curse on that old man's body, at least it is also an improvement! Situ asked me, death curse, what death curse? So I briefly told Situ about my analysis, and Situ sighed very much after hearing it, this group of people is really unscrupulous, and they even don't hesitate to gamble on the safety of others for this matter.

I asked Situ what do you think we should do next, and Situ said, just follow what you said, first think about unlocking the spell on the old man's body, and then make plans, but in the meantime, you must know how to get out safely. I asked Situ what to do with the Xuanyuan Society, we have all arrested people, will the other party know? Situ thought for a while and said, since what you caught is just an errand runner, then there are very few people who know the truth about this matter, in order not to spread the matter, they will definitely not tell each other about these trivial things, what Xuanyuan will want is just a result, and he should not know it for the time being. So I told Situ that I would hang up the phone first, it was almost evening, and if we didn't solve the matter before nightfall, we would inevitably have to stay here all night tonight, and it would be difficult to guarantee many things in the dark and windy night.

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the time, and it was almost 6 o'clock in the evening. Many people from the small town began to return home, so while I was calling, several locals passed by me. When I was about to ask him what happened, I saw the man we grabbed was curled up in a ball, his expression was very painful and his stomach was pale, and his face was pale, I don't know if he was beaten by Hu Zongren. I asked Hu Zongren, what's going on with your jaw? Hu Zongren said that this guy bit me like a dog. I said what's wrong with you, why do people bite you? Hu Zongren snorted and said, I just wanted to get a way to break the old man's death curse from his mouth, but this guy was pulling me around, so I went to search his body, and he took advantage of my inattention to bite me. I said, then how did he end up like this? What did you do to him? Hu Zongren said that it was nothing, he couldn't die, he just took a few punches from me and hit him in the stomach, and while he was talking, he also blinked at me vigorously, as if he had other feelings.

I walked up to the man, and although Hu Zongren no longer trapped his hands and feet, he couldn't move. I helped him sit up, and then asked him, you are just a person who does things, don't work so hard, it's not a TV series, can't you really stop us, and your organization must blame you? When I say this, I mainly think of the Hong Kong films I watched before, if a disciple of the sect takes the order of the master, then he will suffer a series of tortures after returning to the master. But after all, it's just a TV series, in this era, although the division is humble and orderly, but it is not as strict as in ancient times, everyone should plan more for their own safety, so I said this to this man, just to make him feel relieved, let him understand that even if we are restrained, there is nothing to be ashamed of, we were still played by them before, so let's take it as a flattening.

Hu Zongren waved at me, don't ask him, I have already got the things. What do I say? He reached into his trouser pocket, picked up a triangular charm in the position of holding a cigarette, and said to me, I found this thing on him, I opened it and looked at it, this charm is indeed a death charm, there is something else on him, but I can be sure that this charm is useful. Hu Zongren took out a small bottle from another bag, the top was blue and white porcelain, and there was a small mouth, and then he said to me, this is a snuff box found from him, I smelled it just now, a smell of medicine, he took a few punches from me and admitted it himself, this thing is used with this talisman, first smell the snuff bottle for the old man, and then burn the charm and turn water to drink. I asked Hu Zongren, are there any other spells? Hu Zongren said no, this talisman is already a very complete talisman with a beginning and an end, and I have drawn it myself, so I know it.

So now that I had the key to solving the problem, I thought to myself that it was time to go and undo the old man's curse. But if we leave, this guy will inevitably run away, but our current location is at least 20 minutes away from Uncle Liang's house, and we have to pass through a 110 duty station halfway, so we can't coerce others in broad daylight, right? Obviously, Hu Zongren also thought of it with me, so he said to me, this way, I'm not in the right way with this guy, I'm afraid I'll have to fight, just let me go and solve the spell alone, you just take care of this guy. After thinking about it, I found that this was really our only choice, because unwinding the spell was the most important thing to do at the moment, so I said to Hu Zongren, then you can go, go and return quickly, be careful on the road, beware of being followed again, and contact by phone.

After saying that, Hu Zongren ran away, and with my understanding of this person, he should return the same way. But as long as this matter can be solved, even if there are really people following them on the road, there is no way to do it. After Hu Zongren left, I squatted next to the man, lit a cigarette, and asked him if you smoked. He looked at me, then shook his head. It seems that he is not the person who is a big smoker, and his accent is not that of an out-of-town accent. I said to the man, my buddy is a little rough, and he was offended a lot just now, but you also have to understand us, we each have different purposes, so this is inevitable. Indeed, although our line of work is more secretive, but also often for different reasons and people grudges, there is a saying, children of the rivers and lakes, some things with different purposes, and the contradictions, everyone will often laugh at it, after all, it is not a life and death enemy. So when I said that, the man shook his head helplessly, and then he asked me, how did you find me? I told him that it was my stupid brother who found out about you, and that I just saw you stalking him, so I followed you. He shook his head and didn't continue to speak, probably annoyed at his negligence.

Let me ask this man, what do you mean by what you just said, that old man Liang, he himself doesn't know how special his identity is? Without waiting for him to answer, I added to him, if you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't want to, I won't force you, if you don't say it today, sooner or later I will meet with you White Lotus Sect people, it's a big deal, I'll just spend more time to understand it myself, it's not difficult for us. The man knew that I was telling the truth, and he was not going to say it at first, but after a moment he hesitated and told me that he himself was not really special, but that his ancestors had been given something that had been hidden many years ago by his father, who was a soldier in wartime, and a high-ranking official, and that was how he got it. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know that this large-scale gathering of this sect is for this thing.

Maybe it's because of the relationship after talking for a while, I began to feel that this man was actually not as bad as I thought, and even a little sympathetic. However, I sympathize with the fact that such a person is our opponent after all, and we cannot agree on the same position, and since we have got what we want in him, then we should also leave someone else a way out. So I asked him again, "Is it true that the snuffbox and the charm that my brother found in you can be broken?" He was silent, and I continued to say to him, you should know that if something happens to him because of this, even if I have no hostility towards you at the moment, I will not let you go. He continued to be silent for a moment, and then said to me, first burn the charm at the door, and then collect the ashes, don't turn into water first, and smear the ashes under his eyes, so that the ghost hands know that they were sent to take him away, and they will not attack people. At this time, it is necessary to wipe the contents of the snuffbox on the back of the old man's hand, raise his own hand to smell, and after smelling it, he will shut up, and after closing his mouth, he will slowly spit out the white lotus in his mouth, and then he can turn into water, and when he turns into water, he needs to soak the white lotus in the bowl, which is the key to solving the curse. If the steps are in the wrong order, not only will it not work at all, but your friend will be attacked by the ghost hand.

I shouted in my heart that it was dangerous, and then I still said thank you to the man, and then immediately called Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren just arrived and was about to start construction, and when he heard me say this, he also felt very thrilled. About ten minutes later, Hu Zongren called me and said that the old man's curse had been lifted and he was still sleeping, but his breathing was much calmer, the quilt had been lifted, there was nothing in it, and he was not afraid to open the window. He asked me to ask if this was the solution, so I asked the man, and the man nodded yes, and then the man said to me, I don't think we will meet again in the future, this mistake is mine, and I will not have a part in this matter in the future.

I ignored him, just asked Hu Zongren to wait for the old man to wake up, and after confirming that there was no problem, he would meet me again. After saying that, I hung up the phone, crouched down, and sat down with the man.
