Volume 3: The Case of the Hundred Ghosts Chapter 69: The Lord of Chi Yuan Palace
"Let's talk about it." Walking into the interior of the Spiegel Division, Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu: "What is the origin of this Chi Yuan Hall Master?" How to ......"
Duan Ming's words stopped, but his brows furrowed.
Xing Qianqiu understood what Duan Ming meant, and said with a smile: "I thought that Mr. Duan was really confused by the words of the Hall Master of Chi Yuan just now. ”
"Hehe, almost, almost," Duan Ming shook his head.
"Having said that, this Chi Yuan Hall Lord is indeed extraordinary, among the Seven Venerables of the Immortal Sect, he ranks third, and his status far exceeds that of the previous Hall Master of the Forgotten Machine." Xing Qianqiu said: "The most important thing is that whoever the Chi Yuan Hall Lord faces looks very kind and polite, so his reputation is very good, and his prestige is also very high. ”
"Sure enough." Duan Ming nodded: "It seems that this Chi Yuan Hall is much more difficult to deal with than the Lord of the Forgotten Machine Hall." ”
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu said: "Time is very tight now, and we have to act as soon as possible." Mr. Duan, do you have any ideas? ”
"Pressed for time?" Xu Shizhong on the side said suspiciously: "Commander, Mr. Duan, why do you say that?" Didn't the Chi Yuan Hall Master say it, and it won't interfere with us solving the case. ”
"No, no, what he said about not interfering is actually the biggest problem." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, do you know when the Immortal Ceremony will be held?" ”
"This, I just heard a passer-by mention it, it should be five days later." Xu Shizhong recalled for a moment and said, "But what does this have to do with us? They do their ceremony, let's solve our case. ”
"At first glance, it may seem like that, but it's not." Duan Ming explained: "First of all, this matter must have been done by the Immortal Sect, so you should have no problem. ”
"Nope." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "It's Halloween but a hundred ghosts kill people, the killing method is strange and difficult to find, the people are worried that the ghosts will harm people and go to the Immortal Sect to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, it just so happened that the master of the Chi Yuan Hall was here again, and he took advantage of the situation to open the Immortal Festival." Hehe, how can there be such a coincidence in the world. ”
"That's a bit of a coincidence." Xu Shizhong nodded: "But even if this matter is the work of the Immortal Sect, what about it?" ”
"It's very simple, since it was the Immortal Sect, then the Immortal Sect has an extremely high advantage." Duan Ming said: "If after the Immortal Festival, the murderer immediately escapes and no longer harms others. So whose credit do you think the common people will consider? ”
"Of course, it's the Immortal Sect." Xu Shizhong said.
"That's right, the common people will think that the murderer is really a powerful ghost, and the Immortal Sect can expel a powerful ghost that even the judge can't expel it!" Duan Ming said, "In this way, the prestige of the Immortal Sect will be even greater. ”
"And if after the Immortal Festival, we catch the murderer and solve the case. What do you think of the Church of the Immortals? Duan Ming asked again.
"This ......" Xu Shizhong hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"The Immortal Sect can secretly spread it everywhere, saying that we are guided by the Immortal Sect, and that we can solve the strange case because of the Immortal Sect." Duan Ming said.
"Funny!" Xing Qianqiu snorted coldly.
"It's funny, but it's very likely." Duan Ming said: "As long as it is operated well, the people will definitely believe in this statement." ”
"Oh, I see." Xu Shizhong nodded: "As long as the Immortal Law is passed, whether we solve the case or not, it will only be good for the Immortal Sect, and there will be no harm." ”
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "That's why the old torturer just said that we need to hurry." ”
"Having said that, how do you hold on?" Xu Shizhong said embarrassedly: "It's been so many days, can we still get any clues?" ”
"It's hard, but it's not necessarily impossible." Duan Ming said.
"Xu Shizhong." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "This time, you don't need to worry about too many things, follow Mr. Duan's side, and resolutely don't let Mr. Duan encounter danger again." ”
"Yes." Xu Shizhong said with his fists clenched.
"Thank you, Commander." Duan Ming hugged his fists at Xing Qianqiu and said, "Then next, let's do it as soon as possible." Old Torturer, you should take someone to inquire about the people who claimed to have seen the 'Hundred Ghosts' that day and night. And I went to the scene of the crime with Lao Xu to see if I could find any clues. ”
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu didn't hesitate, nodded and led people away.
After Xing Qianqiu left, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong also left together and walked in the direction of Nancheng.
As soon as they came to Nancheng, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong met an acquaintance, who was Sun Wu, who was currently the ship's envoy.
"Mr. Duan!" As soon as Sun Wu saw Duan Ming, he hurriedly walked over and said with a smile, "You came out?" ”
"It's out." Duan Ming smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Shizhong on the side: "Then he was caught as a coolie." ”
"This must be someone from the Spiegel Division." Sun Wu glanced at Xu Shizhong, clasped his fists and said, "Sun Wu, the envoy of the ship, has seen ......."
"Oh, in the Lower Spiegel Division Xu Shizhong." Xu Shizhong clenched his fists and said, "I've seen the boat walker." ”
"Just call me grandson." Sun Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "But, Mr. Duan, what did you do again?" Or are you here to help Spiegel solve the 100 ghosts nocturnal case? ”
"Of course the case has been solved." Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: "What, Old Sun, what do you seem to know when you say this?" ”
"I don't know anything." Sun Wu looked left and right, hesitated for a moment and said, "That's it, I don't know if the two of you are in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, you can go home with me." My mother-in-law has long wanted to have a banquet for Mr. Duan. ”
"Don't call me Mr. Duan, it sounds weird." Duan Ming scratched his head: "But it's just right, I also want to gradually sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is about to give birth." ”
"Well, it's coming." Sun Wu nodded, and then led Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong towards his home.
As early as a few months ago, Sun Wu still lived in a dilapidated small house in Nancheng, after all, Sun Wu at that time was brave and ruthless every day, doing nothing, and it was a great luck to be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
And now, Sun Wu is already the commander of the ship department, and he lives in a small house.
But then again, since the Linzhou Caizi case, Duan Ming has either lived in a prison or in Leaky Clothes Lane, and it is the first time he has come to Sun Wu's house.
Looking at the brand-new courtyard in front of him, Duan Ming was also happy for Sun Wu.
"Ah, Sixth!" Sun, who was cleaning up things in the courtyard, immediately smiled when he saw Duan Ming: "Oh, no, I should call you Mr. Duan." ”
"Something else, sister-in-law!" Duan Ming hurriedly said, "Just call me the sixth child." ”
"Why did you clean up after yourself again, Xiaocui?" However, Sun Wu hurriedly walked over, put the broom in Sun's hand aside, and asked.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you and call you the sixth child." Sun replied with a smile, and then looked at Sun Wu: "Isn't I trying to do something, I asked Xiaocui to buy some meat, and I want to make you something delicious at night." It just so happens that the sixth child is here, let's eat together in the evening! ”
"That's a lot of a disturbance." Duan Ming said with a smile......
