Chapter 254: The Demon Fox Trail

The old woman was very excited, chattering, and after a short time, she was exhausted, and was arranged to rest in the back hall.

"Lord Rong, tell me too, I don't believe you don't know anything about this?"

Bears Ears Town has a permanent population of tens of thousands, and the pressure on law and order is not great, especially in an incident like this involving demons and monsters, mortals want to stay away, and they can't suppress their curiosity, always thinking about whether there will be any opportunities and benefits, this is the bottom of every mortal's heart.

Therefore, it is true that I dare not participate, and it is not false to investigate clearly within the scope of my ability.

The official smiled, "How dare we participate in the affairs of the cultivation world?" The guru joked. ”

Hou Ying didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly, until the old fritter couldn't bear the pressure and fell into battle.

"Master, we really don't dare, but we still investigated the Qian scholar a little, after all, this is also our duty; The original intention of the establishment of the public government was to serve the people of the town......."

The bleak wind is short, the grass demon fox is fire, the night moon is withered, the poplar is strange, and the bird is singing.

Stopped, knowing that you can't pass this level without saying something; Like these things, it is not difficult to investigate, and those things that are short in the township and parents cannot be hidden.

"Qian Shusheng is indeed a man who went out on an outing and stayed overnight in a deserted shrine, but whether there is a demon fox who has turned into a woman to tempt him, I dare not say.

At that time, there were three people who traveled together, all of whom were classmates and friends, and the relationship was irreversible; We also carefully inquired about the other three, and said that there were indeed women walking around the courtyard that night, charming and graceful, but these three were either awe-inspiring, or upright, or timid as a mouse, although they saw it, no one came forward to talk to them.

Because they lived in the same room, they didn't know much about what was going on with others, and they didn't know what was going on until they returned on the second day, and they found that Qian Shusheng behaved differently from ordinary people, and there were some guesses in their hearts, and no one dared to say it, they just thought that it would be good to raise it for a while, but they didn't expect that after going back, the memory would get worse day by day, and Qian Jiang's asked them, so they had the above judgment. ”

Hou Ying nodded, in fact, the matter was not complicated, "What is your judgment?" ”

Since the official said it, his courage gradually grew, "The desolate shrine is located in a remote area, and there are few people during the day, and occasionally the farmer and woodcutter pass by, and there is no trace of people at night; It is true that there are graves outside the ancestral hall, but most of them are lonely graves and no one worships. So what this woman said is eighty percent false, but if you consider her possible identity.......

No one is looking for it, and no one dares to look for it; As for the old woman's speculation, well, probably because I heard too many rumors? ”

Hou Ying smiled, "You just said that it was the mountain spirit and ghost who did it, didn't it be?" I want to go around these many bends. Let me ask you, there have been many incidents like this in recent years, but is it true? ”

The official nodded and lowered his voice, "It's true, it always happens every one or two years, there are local residents and outsiders; The symptoms are similar, and the physical function is not a big problem, but the mental state of the whole person seems to have been drained of the soul, and some people speculate that they can no longer get out of the wonderful fantasy created by the monster after a night of happiness, and they sink into their lives and cannot extricate themselves. ”

"Is it joy?"

"What else can there be? In the dead of night, lonely men and widows, dry firewood in the wilderness, is it possible that the two can still discuss the Book of Poetry together? Wet-fine is pretty much the same. ”

Hou Ying narrowed her eyes, "What is the current situation of the others?" But someone died because of this? ”

The official thought for a while, "These things are mainly hearsay, and there are not many people like the Qian family who can be bitten to death by demons, and in most cases, they are evil spirits who are alone outside, and there is no companion to corroborate, so it will not be over."

There are many other reasons for this kind of hypothetical disorder and madness, such as family diseases, accidental shocks, unexpected stimuli, and mental blows, all of which are possible.

As for the human life you mentioned, there must have been, not directly fatal, but an accident after hallucinations, such as standing on the roof and dancing with your hands in your hands, smiling and walking straight into the water, or simply getting lost........."

After a pause, there was also some movement in his heart, "It is rumored in the market that there are fox spirits who confuse humans at night, and collect yang to supplement yin, no matter how it is rumored."

Whether it is true or not, if the master can find out the truth and give an explanation to the common people, it will be very good for the stability of Bears Ears Town.

As you know, gossip is the most difficult thing to control, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes, and the more it goes, the more it will affect normal life.

Hou Ying nodded, "Regarding similar cases in the past, you can sort out a copy for me, and it should be more detailed, the bitter master, name, address, and history......

In addition, Qian Jiang's appeasement here is still up to you for the time being, the investigation takes time, don't let her get emotional during this period, go out and talk nonsense, and affect the trend of public opinion, remember, don't let the rumors influence this investigation. ”

The official finally realized that this master was going to move seriously, and he could do nothing but cooperate, could not persuade, and did not dare to stop it; The only people who can check and balance this true master in Bears Ears are his two neighbors.

They want to know the truth, but they are afraid of disturbing the order of Bears Ears Town now, this is the contradiction between them mortals.

Hou Ying walked out of the public office, his eldest man was a bare-bones commander, and there was no one under his hand who had to use it, so he had to do everything himself; It's been a few years since he's been in his old business, and now he's still a little excited about returning to his old business?

Within a few days, he found the feeling he had in Fufeng City again, sleeping in the open air, chasing clues, and not missing any clues; A few parties who are still in Bears Ears Town, the surrounding neighbors, and of course, the desolate shrine where Qian Shusheng had an accident.

This is also the only site that still has investigative significance, and the rest of the places are either unknown or have lost their significance due to the passage of time.

Because he is fundamentally different from him a few years ago, many problems that seemed unsolvable to him before have now become handy; It is conceivable that if one day he can go to the mysteries, I am afraid that these so-called mortal detective methods will become useless under his divine sense, and if he wants to know the truth, it is nothing more than a matter of divine consciousness and breath.

One night a few days later, he concentrated on his skills in his felt bag, sharpened his sword and practiced his sword; The rush of the past few days has already paid off, and tomorrow he will be able to meet the suspect head-on, and he is looking forward to this meeting.

At this moment, someone shook the magic circle, and with permission, the lantern monk walked in, with a look of anger,

"Surnamed Hou, are you going to die if you don't do it?"
