Chapter 28: Thirty-Seven Female Corpses That Disappeared
After making up his mind to go to Ghost Alley to investigate, Gu Changan closed the ancient book "Kyushu Scenery", and looked at the magnificent Langhuan Book Pavilion in front of him, but another suspicion arose in his heart:
"Now how can I get out of here?"
"This Langhuan Book Pavilion should exist in my brainβmore precisely, it should be called the location of the Mud Pill Palace."
Mud Pill Palace, also known as Shangdantian, is roughly located within three inches of the center of the eyebrows. According to the Daomen of the world, the Mud Pill Palace is the place where the original god is hidden.
"If Lang Huan Shuge is really hidden in my Mud Pill Palace, is it possible to leave here as long as you let your mind sink?"
Gu Changan held the idea of giving it a try, closed his eyes slightly, and imagined that he was a free-falling stone.
The next moment, his body really pierced out of Lang Huan Library, and it really began to fall freely like a stone.
Countless stars and shadows flew in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, he felt that he had fallen to the ground of acquaintance, and his body and mind were one.
Immediately afterward, he suddenly woke up from the confidential warehouse of the case vault.
Outside the window, the wind and rain are dripping.
But in the midst of the wind and rain, he also heard the noisy chatter in the distance through the high window.
Like something happened?
Gu Changan blew out all the oil lamps in the secret warehouse one by one, and walked quickly to the public area outside the case warehouse, but the person on duty was gone...... Nothing really really happened, right?
He walked out of the case library quickly, only to see that in the drizzly night, the bad people were rushing to the backyard of the Guangming Temple, talking to each other in a hurry.
Gu Changan immediately trotted up, stopped one of the bad guys, and asked, "What happened in the backyard of this Guangming Temple?" β
The bad man's face was terrified: "You don't know yet? Something big happened to the morgue in the backyard! β
Gu Changan asked, "What's wrong?" β
The bad man's face was distorted with fear: "I...... I really can't say it, or you might as well go and see for yourself. β
Gu Changan didn't ask any more questions, and immediately quickened his pace and trotted towards the backyard of the Guangming Temple.
In his impression, all the corpses parked in the mortuary in the backyard at this time were the thirty-seven female corpses.
In the fog early yesterday morning, the mountain of bone ghost corpses composed of thirty-seven female corpses was really terrifying, if he hadn't pulled out the Demon Hunter Bow in time and shot this monster with an arrow, I don't know how many creatures it would continue to mutilate.
After that arrow killed the Bone Charm Corpse Mountain, the thirty-seven female corpses were separated from each other, and finally all of them were salvaged ashore by bad people and transported into the corpse room in the backyard of Guangming Temple. First, he conducted an autopsy, and later Gao Sheng sent his bad brothers to Qingluo County to post an official document to notify the family to come and claim the body.
These corpses have been pretended to be autopsied, and they have been looked at by Ling Xuzi of the Spring and Autumn Gate, according to common sense, there should be no more problems, right?
With an ominous thought, Gu Changan slipped through the crowd and came to the morgue.
The dozen or so night envoys and bad people who had already arrived were all pointing ahead and discussing, their faces solemn.
The thirty-seven female corpses were gone, and the white corpse cloth was thrown all over the ground.
There were two more corpses of unscrupulous people on the ground.
They were disemboweled, and they were covered in blood, but there was nothing in their cavities, and it was clear that their hearts, livers, lungs, large intestines, and small intestines had been ransacked. Their eyes bulged, and their expressions were forever frozen in the horror they had before they died.
The thick bloody aura came to his face, so strong that it was almost disgusting.
Gu Changan's scalp tingled for a while.
"It's horrible!"
"I've never seen such a horrible death."
"Where the hell have all the thirty-seven female corpses gone......
In the midst of everyone's gossip, Gao Sheng, who had received an urgent notice, hurriedly returned. All the night envoys and bad people who were in front of the door of the corpse room spontaneously opened a wide passage for him.
Gao Sheng rushed into the mortuary in a hurry, glanced at it casually, and immediately shouted an order: "All the night envoys and bad people obey the order, you immediately go overnight to track down the whereabouts of these thirty-seven female corpses, you must find them as quickly as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" β
Although the night envoys and bad people present were frightened, they also knew that what Gao Sheng said was true, and immediately scattered in a swarm and went separately to track down the whereabouts of these missing female corpses.
Gu Changan didn't leave, because he still wanted to report to Gao Sheng that he had found out that Zhao Sishui had been to the "Ghost Alley".
But before he could speak, five more unscrupulous men in cloak and hats hurried in.
Gu Changan frowned, and recognized these five people at a glance, they were the five bad people who carried the corpse to claim the official document and posted it in Qingluo County.
Gao Sheng turned around and asked, "What's the matter with you, did you encounter something strange?" β
The leader of the bad people took out a jade jade from his belt, held it in front of Gao Sheng, hung his head deeply, and his face was so solemn that he seemed to be able to pinch out the ink: "Gao Shuai, the five of us were ordered to go to Qingluo County to post the list of the thirty-seven female corpses claimed, and return to ...... On the way back to the city......"
His voice trembled, and he was clearly nervous to the extreme.
Gao Sheng said in a deep voice: "Say, what happened?" β
The leader of the bad people trembled and said: "On a small bridge three miles southeast of Tiandu City, a fox demon blocked our way, and handed us this jade bib, and returned ...... also said: 'The number of great balance qi has been exhausted, the world has collapsed, and the troubled times will come out.' ββ
The world is collapsing, and troubled times will come out...... Gu Changan saw the same description in "Strange Spirits and Demons".
Gao Sheng's two eyebrows were also tightly twisted: "Is this really the case?" β
The leader of the bad guys hurriedly explained: "Of course it's true! The subordinates saw it with their own eyes, and the other four brothers who were traveling with them could also testify. β
"Yes, Gao Shuai, we all said it with our own eyes."
"Well, yes."
"Lu Datou didn't lie."
"What Lu Datou said is true, and I can testify."
The other four bad people have come forward to express their agreement.
Gao Sheng picked up the piece of jade jade from the hand of the leader of the bad guys, and then asked, "What kind of fox demon is that?" β
"It is half a man tall, its hair is as white as snow, and its eyes are golden and translucent...... By the way, it has a total of six tails behind it. β
Gao Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, I know." You must not make a noise about this matter, and in two days I will enter the palace with Lord Han and report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven. β
At the end, he added, "Go back tonight and have a good rest, and don't go anywhere." β
As if they had been pardoned, the five wicked men immediately turned around and withdrew.
Gu Changan had just entered Beijing for the second day, and the capital was already full of strange things on this day, and his mood was inevitably a little complicated at this time.
If Chen Xuanzong's invincible sword could always stand by his side, no matter how much torrent this Heavenly Capital City stirred, he would probably be able to live here without fear.
But the ten-year blood talisman contract will expire in only half a year, and Chen Xuanzong will leave at that time.
Although he is the son of the Gu family, his identity as an illegitimate child has always been a grain of sand in the eyes of the power-leaning Dugu family.
In the game of thrones, you can either live in style or die like an ant, and there is no second way.
If he wants to gain a firm foothold in this game, whether it is status, connections, or cultivation realm, it is the top priority.
At present, it is not enough to solve a boat explosion case, he still needs to solve more strange cases, and become a pivotal figure in Guangming Temple and even the entire Daheng officialdom, which is the biggest hole card for him to settle down.
At this time, he had a vague intuition that if he investigated Zhao Sishui's case to the end, he might have unexpected gains......
Gao Sheng saw Gu Changan staying where he was thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ask, "Little Cicada, do you have anything else?" β
Gu Changan came back to his senses and finally mentioned: "Gao Shuai, according to your instructions this afternoon, I went to the case library to check for most of the day, and finally found out an important clue about Zhao Sishui, the captain of Caochuan. β
Gao Shengqi said: "What clues? β
Gu Changan said: "This Zhao Sishui had been to Ghost Alley several times before going down to Jiangnan. Maybe the truth of the case can be found out more on the side of Ghost Alley. β
"Haunted Alley ......"
Gao Sheng muttered the name of the place, and then showed a wry smile: "It's good that you can find this clue. It's just that you've also seen that two more serious cases have occurred one after another tonight, and whether it's the night envoy or the bad guy, they may not be able to draw more manpower to track down the clue of Ghost Alley. β
Gu Changan didn't care, just smiled: "I don't need a helper, I can go to Ghost Alley to investigate the case alone." β
