Chapter 58: Surrender
Late that night, Xu Zhen was in the study analyzing the facts of the fake Wei Yulang case and figuring out the psychology of the criminal.
In the next room, the little daughter-in-law Youmeng and the tiger girl Shen Yu had already fallen asleep.
In the past few days, Shen Yu has been guarding Xu Zhen's house every night, which can be described as dutiful.
Even though the Daxuan Dynasty is relatively open, it is still very detrimental to the reputation of an unmarried girl's house to stay at a male colleague's house every night.
Even though Xu Zhen has a nominal daughter-in-law, it is always bad to hear it out.
In the past few days, Xu Zhen has also heard some gossip in the yamen, saying that Shen Yu has something to do with him, and he has already slept in a bed.
But the more this is the case, the more it can show Shen Yu's sincerity, which is really commendable.
Moreover, Xu Zhen was also worried, even if Song Zhili no longer attacked him, it was difficult to guarantee that those people who wandered to the east would not hold a grudge against him.
With Shen Yu here, he is indeed much more down-to-earth.
As for reputation or something, since other girls don't care, why bother yourself? It's a big deal, it's good to repay others in the future......
Letting go of Shen Yu's thoughts, Xu Zhen turned his attention back to the case of the fake Wei Yulang.
Truth be told, this case is very bizarre.
The perpetrator's means are high and his courage is humiliating.
You know, the maids and maids will make small talk, once they talk about the two Wei Yulang that night, then won't he be exposed?
However, this person seems to have already calculated that Wei Yulang's family disciplines their subordinates very strictly, one is to stipulate an action area for them, and the other is to prohibit them from discussing the master's family affairs.
Therefore, the matter has never been revealed, and no one knows that there were three nights when two Wei Yulang appeared in the house.
It can be seen that this person knows Wei Yulang's family very well, and must be a relatively close person, and this person must be somewhat similar to Wei Yulang at least in terms of physical appearance.
In addition, Xu Zhen also thought of one point, that is, this person must be quite obsessed with Mrs. Wei, he must be deeply attracted by Mrs. Wei's beauty, and he can't extricate himself, so he will take such a risk.
Therefore, this fake Wei Yulang must have seen Mrs. Wei many times before pretending to be one.
Or, this person is also a member of the Rama clan and has a certain complex and admiration for Sena, the Rama princess......
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen put a list in front of him, and this list was the guest information of Wei Yulang's three banquets.
As soon as he saw this information, Xu Zhen couldn't help but have a big head, but he saw that most of it was a foreign name.
Gee......
He gradually realized that this case was not as easy to handle as he imagined, and with so many foreigners, it was very troublesome to investigate.
Seemingly...... Xu Zhen turned to think that he might have to start with the disguise technique and the tricks of the rivers and lakes.
This person not only disguised himself as Wei Yulang, but also used some kind of hallucinogenic means to make Mrs. Wei fall into a state of psychedelia and unable to extricate herself, so as not to let Mrs. Wei find out that she was a fake.
Transfiguration, a trick of the charlatans......
Xu Zhen wondered, do you need to find a person from the rivers and lakes to consult?
Ay?
Suddenly, he remembered the book "Demon Dao", which seemed to record some content about disguise.
In the past few days, because Shen Yu was present, he had not studied this book well, and seeing that there was no one around at the moment, he quickly took out the book.
As a result, after some searching and searching, he really found the relevant content.
After reading these contents, Xu Zhen's blood suddenly boiled, as if he had discovered a new continent.
The tutorial on disguise in the book is very detailed, if you follow the tutorial, you only need to find a person with drawing skills, and he should be able to disguise himself as another person!
In addition, there are more than a dozen illusion methods recorded in it, including the incense, whose properties seem to match Mrs. Wei's description.
Wow!
Aside from solving the case, if you can get these materials, wouldn't you be a flower thief?
Looking further back, the book also records thousands of techniques, gambling techniques, deception techniques, medical skills, etc., all of which are very practical dry goods, worthy of being a genuine traversal cultivation manual.
In this way, this "Demon Dao" is indeed demonic enough!
What is recorded here is not only the knowledge of the previous world, but also many unknown secret techniques in the current world, as well as various ingenious prescriptions.
It can be seen that the author of this book, even if he is a traverser, is by no means an idle person.
The more Xu Zhen looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became.
Why did the author give it to his grandmother?
Is the author really his own grandfather?
The book says "Give Mingyue", so is this Mingyue really grandma's name?
Grandpa Jinwu Zangjiao, supporting grandma, after grandma raised the child, she ran away from home......
So...... Where did Grandma go?
Looking for grandpa?
And what made her run away from home regardless of her family?
Could it be that she is long gone?
Otherwise, her parents have died, and she has never come back to see her?
However, if my grandmother was a beautiful girl forty years ago, she would be in her sixties at most now, right?
Will one day, she appear in front of her?
Otherwise......
Xu Zhen felt that it was necessary for him to investigate his life experience, and if he could find his grandparents, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.
Or...... Ask the elderly people next door and ask them about the situation?
No, no.
He quickly thought that his identity was too sensitive, how could these old men next door who loved gossip confide in him?
Therefore, it is better to find an intermediary to help you investigate this matter.
Who to look for?
Ay?
Is it true, my aunt is the best choice, and letting this gossip queen come out will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
But...... What should I say to get my aunt out?
In this way, Xu Zhen thought about it back and forth, and thought about it until he thought about the three meridians in the middle of the night, and finally went back to the room to rest.
Lying on the bed, his brain did not rest, and it was not easy even to finally fall asleep, and he had many dreams in a daze.
One of the dreams was particularly strange, and he actually dreamed that the tiger girl Shen Yu really crawled into her bed in the middle of the night......
……
The next day, the yamen ordered.
In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Zhen and Shen Yu traveled by staggered peaks.
When Xu Zhen stepped into the yamen with his front foot, Shen Yu was already standing in the queue.
However, as soon as he entered, Xu Zhen once again found that the atmosphere was wrong.
But seeing that everyone in the yamen was facing the center of the hall, their eyes were looking at something very strangely.
Looking at the situation, Xu Zhen finally saw that there was a monk kneeling there!
It was a young monk with a rough face, dressed in a badly faded, patched robe, sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall.
He closed his eyes slightly, and quickly twisted the rosary hanging from his chest in his hand, and his mouth was also full of words.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhen asked Fu Bin, "Is this here to turn into a fate?" ”
"Fate?" Fu Bin shook his head and said, "You still exorcise ghosts!" ”
"Senior brother, senior brother," at this time, Shen Yu quickly ran to Xu Zhen's side and told the truth, "It's so strange, this great monk is surrendered!" ”
