Chapter 34: The Five Elements Wood Mantra
"What?" Li Xuyang was very surprised when he heard Li Yongan's words. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ma Jiu's identity is really elusive, he keeps saying that he can help himself, but he doesn't even want to reveal his identity, what kind of person is he?
Li Xuyang thought, Li Yongan interrupted his train of thought and continued.
"When I went out, I saw an old man of the same grade as your grandfather Wang, so I greeted him with the most basic etiquette of Maoshan, but he just looked at me and didn't respond. Li Yongan said, taking a sip of the water on the table. It can be seen that he does not understand the etiquette of the Maoshan faction, and it can also be concluded that he is not from Maoshan. ”
"Then could he be someone else?" Li Xuyang said about someone else, referring to people who are not in other professions except for the person who opens the coffin, the person who chases the corpse, the feng shui master and the Taoist priest of Maoshan.
"It's hard to say. After all, our country has thousands of years of cultural traditions, and there are countless capable people, such as Xiangshi, ferrymen and so on. Li Yongan said analytically.
Xiangshi is a person who often travels all over the world and meets everywhere, that is, you can see your evil fortune and sinister from your facial features, but Xiangshi is relatively close to extinction. Ferryman, this is a profession that eats food in the underworld, and it has an unnecessary relationship with the mourner, and it can be regarded as a craftsman.
"Then you say, can he help me, is this credible?" asked Li Xuyang.
Li Yongan did it on the rocking chair and gently touched the ground with his foot, making the rocking chair move. After that, he said slowly, "The people who can help you may not really help you, what I'm afraid of is that someone is plotting against you and wants to take advantage of you." ”
Li Xuyang nodded, noncommittal. He didn't agree at first, and it was precisely because he thought of this that he didn't agree, if he really wanted to help himself, why didn't he explain it directly when he met for the first time, but came to find himself at this juncture.
When they met for the first time, Ma Jiu said at the beginning that he could help him, and Li Xuyang might believe his words and become respectful of him. But he didn't, but found himself through Wang Xiaokai again, and only then did he say that he could help himself, and there was no lack of water in it.
"Forget it, no matter. Li Xuyang shook his head, only then did he realize that it had already rained heavily outside, this was the first rain since the beginning of summer, but it was surprisingly heavy.
Li Xuyang returned to the house, took out his mobile phone, and thought that Zhao Rui had been gone for a few days, and he didn't know if she had arrived in Shanxi. I wanted to call her, but coincidentally, Zhao Rui actually called him first.
"Hey. Zhao Rui's voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"I'm here. Li Xuyang said. At this time, Li Xuyang's heart was extremely entangled, as if there were two things in front of him that he loved very much, but he didn't want to let go of him to choose.
"Is it raining at home? It's raining here, it's raining so much. Zhao Rui said over there.
"It's down, it's big. Li Xuyang replied as he lay on the bed with his eyes on the ceiling.
"Oh, what are you doing?" Zhao Rui asked.
"I didn't do anything, I just lay in bed and rested. ”
This phone call lasted for more than half an hour, in which Li Xuyang was answering Zhao Rui's questions, as for what he answered, I'm afraid he didn't remember it himself! Li Xuyang also wondered in his heart, facing Zhao Rui, he had a feeling as if he owed her something, but what did he owe? An answer? A comfort? A hug or a true feeling?
It rained for three days and three nights, and it was not until the fourth day that the rain showed signs of stopping. The roads were almost flooded, and there was more water in the ditches at the entrance of the village. At night, there will be the sound of toads from time to time, but the sound of crickets has disappeared.
After the rain stopped, Li Xuyang went out of the house. His destination was the Public Security Bureau, he wanted to see how Han Shulin was doing in prison, after all, it rained heavily for three consecutive days, and no one could have imagined what would happen in the next few days.
After coming to the Public Security Bureau, Li Xuyang was directly stopped and said that he had to show his ID before he could enter. This stumped Li Xuyang, how could he have any documents! Coincidentally, while Li Xuyang was arguing with the policeman who stopped him, Liu Zhaohui, who had gone out to buy breakfast, came back.
After Liu Zhaohui said a few words to the policeman, he walked in with Li Xuyang. After Liu Zhaohui put breakfast on his desk, he came to Li Xuyang and took him to the prison where Han Shulin was temporarily placed.
"There has been no movement in the past few days, and Han Shulin is also very cooperative, but after going out once during the period, he has been in the prison and has never been there. Liu Zhaohui said about Han Shulin's daily affairs in the past few days.
While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the prison where Han Shulin was, after opening the iron door. The first thing that caught my eye was Han Shulin lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and seemed to be sleeping.
"Look, nothing out of the ordinary. Liu Zhaohui looked at Han Shulin, who was sleeping, and said to Li Xuyang.
"Wait. Li Xuyang said something to stop Liu Zhaohui from coming forward to check.
First of all, Li Xuyang thought that the voice of the two of them was not too loud, but it was not small, not to mention that the distance was so close, it was impossible for Han Shulin not to hear it, but Han Shulin did not react. Not only is it just the sound of talking, but the sound of shoes stepping on the ground is not small, it stands to reason that Han Shulin should get up, but why is he still asleep? What is even more difficult to explain is that in such a hot weather, he is covered with a quilt.
Even if it's raining and it's a little cool these days, it's not enough to be covered with a quilt in the thirties today, right?
Combining the above points, Li Xuyang thought of many possibilities, but he also wanted to overturn these possibilities, because he still didn't want to believe that there were any five ghosts hurting the five elements.
Li Xuyang came to Han Shulin's bed, slowly lifted the quilt with his hand, and the first thing he saw was not Han Shulin's black hair as Li Xuyang imagined. The first thing I saw was a white pillow, no, it can't be said to be white, it should be said to be a red pillow, because the white pillow has been dyed red by Han Shulin's blood.
The quilt was completely lifted by Li Xuyang, and Han Shulin's body was lying quietly on the bed, and it had disappeared from the neck up. All that was left was Han Shulin's already cold corpse.
"How could this be?" Liu Zhaohui took a few steps back in fright, not so much frightened as he couldn't believe it would be like this.
Liu Zhaohui has been eating and living in the bureau these days, although he sometimes goes out, but even if he goes out, there are other people who will. In addition, there are people patrolling this place 24 hours a day, and according to the regulations, the people who check the prison are also checked every two hours.
"Why is this happening?" Liu Zhaohui still looked at Han Shulin's corpse on the bed in disbelief.
Li Xuyang looked at him, and then said, "Don't be surprised, everyone is already dead, go and inform the family!"
"Oooh. Liu Zhaohui agreed and ran out.
Li Xuyang took this opportunity to untie Han Shulin's shirt with his hand, and sure enough, there was a spell. Moreover, the spell is drawn in the same way as the previous three, so it is inferred that the same murderer did it. Although the drawing method is the same, there will be some slight differences if you don't look closely, but this is the main point, and the important thing is that the "wooden spell" appears.
A few minutes later, Liu Zhaohui ran back again, gasping for breath and said, "His family has been notified, what should I do next?"
"Officer Liu, it seems that you are a policeman, right? What are you going to do next, do you still need to ask me?" Li Xuyang glanced at him angrily. Liu Zhaohui didn't dare to refute, so he had to say with a smile, "Yes, yes, the next step is to survey the scene." ”
After speaking, Liu Zhaohui checked in the prison, and Liu Zhaohui checked it very carefully. Even if there was a depression in the wall, he would take a good look at it with an enlarged mirror.
"Go and bring up the surveillance footage of the past three days. I don't know when, Zhang Mian had already walked into the room and saw Liu Zhaohui lying on the ground and checking the ground with an enlargement mirror, so he said to him.
"Yes. After Liu Zhaohui heard Zhang Mian's voice, he stood up and saluted and left.
After Zhang Mian watched Liu Zhaohui leave, he asked Li Xuyang, "Do you see anything famous?"
Li Xuyang shook his head, meaning that there was nothing to discover.
Just after answering Zhang Mian, Li Xuyang came to the door of the prison and looked through the lock with his hand. The lock is good, and there is no sign that the cylinder has been pried or damaged.
"Is it really a ghost?" Li Xuyang muttered in his heart.
Han Shulin's body was carried out, and there was still a smell of blood in the room. It seems that there are no clues in this room, maybe only from the surveillance.
Zhang Mian took Li Xuyang to the monitoring room, and after calling up the video of the past few days, Li Xuyang stared at the screen with his eyes tightly, for fear of missing any detail.
"Stop. Li Xuyang said suddenly, and Liu Zhaohui hurriedly stopped. At this point, a person wearing a tight white shirt with his back to the camera is shown slowly walking forward.
"Start, don't fast-forward. Li Xuyang leaned down and stared at the person on the screen tightly. The people on the screen walk very slowly, and their movements are not as agile as normal people, some of them look like robots. This person's whole body gradually appeared within the range of the camera, judging from the surveillance video, this person should be Han Shulin, and his purpose was the prison where he was held.
After Han Shulin disappeared into the surveillance, Li Xuyang closed his eyes and thought about what was wrong. More than ten seconds later, Li Xuyang opened his eyes again and said, "A few minutes back, Han Shulin just appeared in the camera monitoring range, and he paused there." ”
Liu Zhaohui followed Li Xuyang's instructions and adjusted the camera to the picture that stopped at the beginning.
"Is there anything wrong here?" Liu Zhaohui turned his head and asked Li Xuyang, only to find that Li Xuyang was staring at him and ignored him.
"Zoom in, especially the position of his neck. ”
"Hmm. After Liu Zhaohui agreed, he enlarged Han Shulin's photo more than ten times, so that not only Li Xuyang, Zhang Mian and Liu Zhaohui were shocked on the spot.
