Chapter 43: Granny Ma

Hearing Lin Fei's report, Qi Zixiao frowned, got up and walked outside, "Take me to the scene of the crime." ”

Although this case does not belong to him, he vaguely feels that it may have something to do with the Zou family's theft.

Now that the thief can't find it, he just wants to start from other aspects.

When Lin Fei heard this, he hurriedly led the way in front, the county government was not too far from the slums, and with a stick of incense, they rushed to the place, and the dilapidated houses abound in front of them, many people were dressed in tatters, squatting aside with a broken bowl, and begging well-wishers to reward them with a few pennies.

Although the Great Qi country is prosperous, it is impossible for everyone to live a prosperous life, and there will always be some people who live at the bottom and struggle.

These are the rules of the world.

Compared with the tens of thousands of people in Qingxian County, the number of slums is less than one-tenth.

"Big brother, I'm so hungry......"

A thin little figure stepped forward, wearing tattered clothes, and opened his voice weakly, Qi Zixiao looked down, this was a little girl, her face was dirty, she was malnourished at first glance, and she was weak to speak.

Qi Zixiao looked at the little girl, thought for a while, took out a piece of silver from her body, and threw it to Lin Fei, "Go buy some buns." ”

Lin Fei smiled bitterly, knowing that Qi Zixiao was kind-hearted, he hurriedly went to buy steamed buns.

Soon, Lin Fei pushed a small cart over, and there were two baskets on it, and a whole hundred meat buns were placed in the baskets.

Qi Zixiao took out two meat buns, put them in the little girl's hand, and smiled slightly, "Eat." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Fei, "You are responsible for dividing the buns, and I will go to the scene of the crime first." ”

He strode away, no longer caring about what was behind him, there wasn't much he could do in the face of these people.

Soon, he came to the place where the murder occurred, in a dilapidated courtyard, surrounded by arrests and almost fenced off, and many people kept looking inside.

Seeing Qi Zixiao, a group of catchers hurriedly got out of the way.

Entering the courtyard, Qi Zixiao saw Lin Shan standing in the courtyard with a serious face, surveying around, Wang Quan was packing up his tools, Qi Zixiao looked at the corpse, his whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was extremely terrifying.

Seeing Qi Zixiao coming, Lin Shan and Wang all nodded to him.

"I heard about something here, so I rushed here, what did you find?"

Qi Zixiao didn't say hello, and asked directly.

Wang Quan was the first to speak, "According to my judgment, this is a female corpse, the age of the deceased is about twenty, and the cause of death ......."

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly, "It's suicide." ”

Seeing Qi Zixiao's surprised gaze, he smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I can't believe it, but this is the truth, it was the woman herself who strangled herself, and after she died, there should be some existence that peeled off her skin intact......"

A flash of complexity flashed in his eyes, and he knew who some of the beings in his mouth were, nothing more than ghosts and spirits.

Lin Shan stepped forward and said with an ugly face, "I have checked the scene and found no traces of struggle, I also asked the people around me, and they all said that they didn't hear any movement at night......"

After speaking, he looked at Qi Zixiao and smiled bitterly, "Zixiao, I suspect that this is a supernatural incident......

Qi Zixiao nodded, "I understand, it's a pity that Qingfeng has already left, otherwise, with the help of his Dao magic powers, he may be able to know the real murderer behind it." ”

"We also have some goddesses in Qingxian County, why don't we ask them for help?"

Lin Shan said.

Qi Zixiao's eyes flashed, the so-called goddess is that she can pass through yin and yang, ask ghosts and gods, and a pair of eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see.

However, most of them are pretending to be gods and ghosts, and people who really have the ability are hidden, and they will not easily use their abilities, because the more they contact with ghosts and gods, the heavier their own yin energy, people live a breath, this qi is masculine, the human body is very wonderful, men are relatively speaking, yang is dominant, sunlight is incomparable, and women are yin is heavier, but, whether it is yang or yin, there will be a limit, once it exceeds this limit, it will cause some bad things.

Many goddesses are women who are born with the body of yin, and the yin energy is in an extremely delicate balance, allowing them to see some things that ordinary people can't see, but once they come into contact with too many ghosts and gods, the yin energy will break the balance and make the other party fall into a bottomless abyss, and at that time, they will become half-human and half-ghost existences.

"We have a goddess in Qingxian who is good at this?"

Qi Zixiao asked.

"There is one, called Ma Po Po, it seems that he is also in this area, and few people usually go to him, I remember that the son of Master Zhang's family encountered something dirty and was entangled for several days, and finally I don't know where I heard about Ma Po, I specially came to invite, and after the other party made a move, the son quickly got rid of the entanglement."

Lin Shan glanced around, saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered, revealing a secret.

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao was shocked, "A goddess lives in this kind of place? ”

Seemingly knowing what Qi Zixiao was thinking, Lin Shan explained, "That Granny Ma has a very strange temperament and doesn't care much about money, and at that time, Master Zhang wanted to give the other party a house, but she refused. ”

"To be honest, when I went to find the other party this time, I don't know if the other party is willing to help."

"Then let's go check it out."

Qi Zixiao spoke softly, having seen the Taoist priest, he also had a little interest in the goddess of this world.

Lin Shan nodded and summoned a person, "You are responsible for taking the body away and sending it to Yizhuang, and Qi Zhutou and I will go first." ”

As he spoke, he took Qi Zixiao and walked in another direction.

Qi Zixiao saw that the roads were becoming more and more remote, and the houses on the streets were becoming more dilapidated.

Finally, they came to a courtyard close to the edge of the county seat, a dilapidated door was closed, and Lin Shan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Granny Ma, Granny Ma......"

Lin Shan spoke softly.

Qi Zixiao looked at the courtyard in front of him, his eyes narrowed, and he felt that the yin qi here was rich and terrifying, although the sun was hanging in the air, there would still be a cold wind blowing from standing here, which made people shudder.

"Interesting, it seems to be a bit capable."

Qi Zixiao muttered to himself in his heart.

"Ahem......"

The next moment, the door opened, and an old face appeared, a pair of eyes were gray, and they looked at them indifferently, "It turned out to be you kid, what are you looking for an old woman for?" ”

"Granny Ma, this time we encountered a strange case, there is a woman who was skinned, and we want to use Granny Ma's power to help us investigate."

Lin Shan said with a smile on his face, although he is a second-grade martial artist, he is still powerless against the supernatural, and he needs to rely on the power of professionals.

"I told you before, the old woman doesn't want to deal with those ghosts anymore, you can't help the old woman."

Hearing this, the other party opened his mouth impatiently, and his voice seemed to be scratched on the ground, which was extremely harsh.

She was about to close the door, Qi Zixiao suddenly stretched out her hand, stopped her, and said with a smile, "There's no need for Granny Ma to refuse so simply, you can mention any conditions, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help you complete it." ”

Feeling the power above the door, the other party looked at Qi Zixiao indifferently, "Who are you?" Dare to talk to the old woman like this! ”

"Granny Ma, don't be angry, this is Qi Zixiao from Qingxian County, Qi Catcher, I have solved many big cases in Qingxian County before, and I also heard about this skinning case, so I came to visit my mother-in-law."

On the side, Lin Shan hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Granny Ma's eyes moved, looking at Qi Zixiao, a sneer rose on her face, "No wonder she is so arrogant, it turns out to be a ruthless stubble." ”

'Why, if the old woman doesn't help, will she still arrest me and put me in prison!' ’

"Granny Ma really likes to joke, we won't arrest people at will, this time I came to the door, just to solve the case, as a citizen of Qingxian County, Granny Ma has the obligation to help us."

Qi Zixiao spoke slowly, his eyes sharp.

Looking at Qi Zixiao's gaze, Granny Ma's eyes were strange, and then she grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "Okay, since you two head catchers come to the door in person, then the old woman will help you once." ”

"You bring the relics of that girl before her death, as well as her birthday, the old woman also needs to make some preparations, come here again tomorrow night, I will summon the spirit."

Hearing what the other party said, Qi Zixiao and Lin Shan nodded, and the latter said with a smile, "Then it's troublesome mother-in-law, don't worry, you help us solve the case, and when the case is over, we will definitely not treat my mother-in-law badly." ”

Granny Ma closed the door and didn't let them in from beginning to end.

Qi Zixiao and Lin Shan left, and on the way, Qi Zixiao suddenly said, "This mother-in-law Ma has a very strange temper. ”

"God's wife, I'm used to talking all day long."

Lin Shan didn't care.

"You said that this Ma Po has Yin and Yang, will she use some evil arts to seek her own benefits?"

Qi Zixiao chuckled lightly and threw out a question that surprised Lin Shan.

"This, this, probably not."

Lin Shan looked at Qi Zixiao and said hesitantly, "Brother, do you think that this skinning case has something to do with Granny Ma?" ”

"We should be fast, but we won't guess out of thin air, everything has to be about evidence, and I won't talk nonsense about things without evidence."

Qi Zixiao shook his head, "Okay, Lin Zhutou will go back first to prepare that girl's relics and birthday, I still have a case here, and I will come over in person tomorrow." ”

With that, he walked off into the distance and disappeared at the end of the street.

Lin Shan looked at Qi Zixiao's back, and also shook his head and smiled, not minding.

At this time, having already left a long distance, Qi Zixiao suddenly turned his head and looked behind him again, to be precise, at the courtyard where Granny Ma was.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, just now, he vaguely sensed a cold power from the other party, which seemed to be similar to spiritual power, but it was fleeting, and he didn't have time to track it.

The sensitivity of his profession made him vigilant for a moment.

However, the other party had helped the county magistrate, and it was impossible for him to detain the other party for interrogation at will, so he could only let it go for the time being, and he didn't want to make trouble until the Zou Mansion theft case was resolved.
