012 Homicide
At night, in the Qinzhou Mansion, a man wearing a judge's uniform looked at the corpse of a subordinate lying in front of him with a pale face, and asked coldly, "When did it happen?"
"Half an hour ago, when we found him at the entrance of the alley, it was like this, and there were no wounds on his body. ”
"Still no clues?"
"No, we can't find anything, in the past half a month, we have come and gone to check more than a dozen times. But these things happened too strangely, some of the dead didn't know each other at all, let alone have any interests, and most of them were their own people, although there was a splash, but it was only a small role, and the possibility of vendetta could be ruled out. ”
Seeing that the Lord Du Shi had a calm face and did not speak, he stopped talking for a while, and finally stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, now that our own brothers have lost one, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Lord to explain it according to the inspector, or shall we go to the north of the city to ask for an order?"
Du Shi's eyes tightened, turned his head to look at him, and said slowly: "Zhiyin Division?"
"My lord, I always feel that this matter is strange, so we might as well ask the Taoist chief there to take a look......"
Du Shi looked at the dead subordinates in front of him, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
Early the next morning, a letter sent by the Qinzhou Mansion according to the Judge arrived in the north of the city, and soon, two people walked out of the Yin Division and walked in the direction of the judge.
"Hey, why am I again, this judge will not let people stop. ”
"Xiaozheng, in fact, this is a good thing, it's better than being sent by your master to see the door if you're fine, you look at how lively it is outside, take advantage of this time to come out to do things, how can you have a good time and then go back." ”
"That's right! Haha, you're still clever. ”
The two figures, one large and one small, one was wearing the black errand clothes exclusive to the Yin Division, and the other was wearing the ginger robe exclusive to the disciples of Qingyang Palace, which were none other than Wang Shen, who had been transferred to the Yin Division of Qinzhou Mansion not long ago, and Daozheng, the disciple of Hua Zhen Daoren, the lamp-bearer in the Sizhong.
It has been about seven or eight days since Wang Shen entered the Yin Division, and since Wang Shen did not have any cultivation, Huazhen Daoist let Wang Shen act in the Division after careful consideration, and there was no need to go out to collect his soul. In the past few days, Wang Shen has been hanging out in the Yin Division, there are many doorways in this Yin Division, doing everything, Wang Shen even sneakily hides in a few dark small rooms, as if he is doing some unsightly things.
Moreover, for such a thing, the top and bottom of the Yin Division seem to be accustomed to common strange things, Wang Shen didn't dare to make any unusual moves when he first arrived, and after thinking for a long time, he hit the idea on Daozheng, a disciple of Huazhen Daoren.
This Dao Zheng should be extremely valued by the Qingyang Palace, and all the disciples of the Qingyang Palace in the Zhiyin Division respect and stay away from the Dao Zheng, and the Dao Zheng person is also old-tempered, and he always looks like a high-ranking master elder, for fear that someone will despise him because of his young age. To deal with such a stunned youth, Wang Shen has a way, and within three days, the two began to call each other brothers, and they hated each other.
Wang Shen learned a lot of things related to the Yin Division from Daozheng's body, and when he knew that those sneaky people were raising ghosts, he was even more surprised.
The six doors of the former dynasty have the art of serving ghosts, and the Spring and Autumn Mansion of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Luogou of the Northern Qi River continue to use it.
However, the ghosts enslaved by the Yin Division are not those fierce and evil ghosts where the three souls are still there, but the remnants of the seven spirits that wander in the world after the three souls are scattered, and the yin ghosts who form their own consciousness because of chance.
These yin ghosts are also generally divided into small ghosts, big ghosts, and old ghosts according to their strength, and there are just a few little ghosts in the Yin Division of Qinzhou Mansion. However, according to Daozheng, these little ghosts have simple minds, and they look strange, and they don't have any skills, so he can solve them with just his fingers, and I don't know what the use of those people is doing drums. The speaker has no intention of listening, but Wang Shen is full of curiosity about the method of this ghost, and he also learned from Dao Zheng that this Yin Division also has a place for refining magic weapons.
It seems that this big house is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Wang Shen is once again full of confidence in his future.
According to the door of the judge, there were already people waiting for the two of them, and when the other party found out that the two people who came were so young, especially the main Taoist priest of Qingyang Palace, who looked like he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager, it was obvious that he couldn't figure out the situation.
"Still not leading the way?"
Daozheng has a bad temper, especially the way the other party looks at him, he is the most taboo, and he is very faceless when he opens his mouth.
Thinking of the temper of those Taoist masters of the Zhiyin Division, the other party complained in his heart but didn't dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly led the two in.
After entering the house and looking at the file prepared by the judge a long time ago and the errand officer who died inexplicably last night, Wang Shen and Dao Zheng had some eyebrows in their hearts about this matter.
"Looks like there's a ghost dementor. ”
Dao Zheng shook his head and said, as soon as he checked it, he found that there was no scar on the body of this judge, but the three souls and seven spirits in the Lingtai Consciousness Sea had dissipated and cleaned. It's only been half a night, and if it were a normal death, the three souls and seven spirits would not have dissipated so quickly, and they must have been deterred by improper means.
Wang Shen on the side was still flipping through the file, and said in surprise: "Four have died in the past half a month, counting this is already the fifth, everyone is in a dead state, there is no scar on the body, and there is no abnormality in the expression of serenity, as if they are asleep." ”
Dao Zheng didn't care and said: "Hmph, being killed by a ghost is basically like this, but this ghost is not a little brave, these few incidents all happened in the city, it seems that the Tao is not shallow, and he actually dared to ride on the head of my Qingyang Palace to spread wild." ”
Wang Shen still flipped through the file, and he found that he could not find any similar suspicions except that the deceased were all men in the prime of life.
"It seems that she is still a female ghost......
"Whoever cares about his men and women, this Dao Ye will go and take her in tonight. ”
Dao Zheng was about to go out after speaking, but Wang Shen grabbed him and asked curiously, "Do you know where she is?"
Daozheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Then how do you collect it? You can't look all over the city......"
"Yes, Lao Wang, what you said makes sense. So what do you say?"
"I'm afraid I have to plan this well, why don't you go back and ask your master, is there any magic weapon that can track down ghosts?"
Wang Shen asked tentatively.
A magic weapon to track down ghosts?
Dao Zheng tilted his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, we don't have this kind of thing in Qingyang Palace." Moreover, I think that the master only sent the two of us for this matter, and it is estimated that it will be all up to us, even if we go back to him, he will ignore us, and maybe we will be scolded......"
Dao Zhengtian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid that his master Hua Zhen Daoren, Hua Zhen Dao Ren asked him to watch the door, he will never dare to walk the dog, if he can't do such a thing, he may not be able to suffer what kind of crime he will suffer when he goes back. Besides, Dao Zheng is young and has a particularly strong sense of self-esteem, if such a mere ghost can't be cleaned up, the prestige that he has built up in the door will be gone.
Hearing Dao Zheng say this, Wang Shen calmed down again, and after a while, he had an idea to say this in Dao Zheng's ear.
Daozheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted Wang Shen on the shoulder and said happily: "It's still your old Wang who has the ability, I really didn't see the wrong person!"
After saying that, he knocked on the table vigorously and shouted to the door, "Is there any living person?"
"Yes, what do the two immortal officials command?"
At the beginning, the inspector who was kicked out of the door hurriedly ran in and waited.
"Go, and call you stewards. ”
"Huh?"
"What are you still doing in a daze? I missed the plan to catch ghosts tonight, and you should do it according to the judge's own view. ”
Dao Zheng snorted coldly, and as soon as the other party heard the word "catch ghosts", he was full of wit, and ran out.
Soon, a person wearing a judge's uniform hurriedly entered the door, and when he saw the two of them, he arched his hand and said: "This official Zheng Cheng is a matter of the judge, I don't know if the two immortal officials have eyebrows?"
"Well, we already know what's going on. It's no wonder that you are not fair in this matter, but since the Yin Division has sent us, there is naturally no problem. Then take some of your men and act with us at night, and tonight you will take away the evil ghosts, and then everything will be at our command. ”
According to the size of the judge's affairs, he is also a court official with good rank, but in the eyes of Daozheng, even if he comes according to the judge's envoy, he looks so arrogant.
Seeing that Dao Zheng was so sure, Zheng Dushi asked in surprise, "Is it really a ghost?"
"Yes, but by the ghosts. However, the whereabouts of this ghost are difficult to determine, so tonight we have to lead people to cooperate and cooperate. ”
Wang Shen on the side replied.
Zheng Dushi nodded and said: "This should be, but this ghost has killed so many people in the city silently, and his courage is not small, and he is afraid that his strength is not bad." Do the two immortal officials want to go back to the department to report and send more people to ensure that nothing goes wrong?"
As soon as Zheng Dushi said this, Daozheng's face immediately pulled down, Wang Shen saw that he was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Dushi's sleeve and explained: "Dissatisfied with Lord Zheng, our Daozheng Daoist is not an ordinary person, his master is the head of the Yin Division, Huazhen Daochang, not to mention such a little ghost who does not dare to show his head, as long as he encounters a ghost, which one is not caught." ”
"Oh, I see, I see, Fang is disrespectful. ”
This Zheng Dushi is also an eight-sided delicate character, Wang Shen noticed the dissatisfaction on Daozheng's face with a look, and hurriedly served tea to apologize, and stabilized Daozheng after saying a string of good words, and then took advantage of the situation to talk about tonight's actions.
After listening to Wang Shen's series of arrangements and plans, this Zheng Du nodded again and again, at least half of the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and I am afraid that the murder that occurred in half a month in a row will not be able to hold on anymore. Five lives in half a month, among which there is a messenger according to the judge, this is a big thing to put anywhere, according to the inspector Lord just called him to lecture, if this matter can not be solved, it has to be reported to the Taoist division of the CD government, once the Taoist judge is out, it must be held accountable first and then investigated, not to mention him, even his top boss Qinzhou Mansion according to the inspector has to suffer with it.
"Yes, the two immortal officials are really young and promising, the meticulousness of this plan is simply foolproof, and it is really my blessing to be able to send two immortal officials to the Yin Division. After a moment's pause, I'll go and arrange for the staff. ”
After speaking, Zheng Dushi saluted the two gratefully, and hurriedly walked out.
