Chapter 13: Water Ghosts Kill

"How did you die? ”

Ma Chenggong glanced into the coffin, and then there was a spiritual light in his eyes, and he actually opened the 'magic eye' and began to look around: "This place is indeed gloomy, do you know the origin and feet of that powerful ghost? ”

The black-clothed catcher still knows everything, and he says everything: "Last night, the forester suddenly shouted that there was a ghost in the room, and his voice was panicked. Then, by the time his family arrived, the forester had already slashed his throat and suffocated to death. Lin Yang encountered a ghost when he went to the toilet at seven o'clock, and his death was exactly the same as his father's. At that time, many people here saw the thing, dressed in red, with a cloak and a trail of water under their feet. As for where it came fromβ€”"

The black-clothed catcher glanced at the family members of the deceased: "It is said that the Zhang family in the side room outside the forester died two months ago because of the adultery and threw himself into the water. My colleague, Wang Zhutou, who was handling the case at the time, thought that there might be something else to do about the matter, but the forester had made a lot of money in the yamen, and the matter was closed. ”

Li Xuan was listening, and his expression couldn't help but move slightly.

He knew that the status of women in this era was very low, and the so-called concubines, if they were not the 'good concubines' recognized by the government, they were actually equivalent to slaves and did not have too many personal rights.

Some wealthy and powerful families in the local area, as long as there is a reasonable reason, even if the concubine is directly killed, the official will generally not ask.

What's more, the side room of the Lin family was thrown into the water and died after the adultery was exposed, and no one would care about her life or death.

"No grievances!

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in filial piety clothes suddenly pounced and knelt in front of Ma Chenggong: "My lord, my father treats the Zhang family with all his affection, and he is extremely benevolent, even after the adultery is exposed, there is no harsh punishment. Not to mention blame, even family law is useless, according to the current rules, this is to be immersed in the pig cage! After the death of the slut, my father bought her a piece of good feng shui land and gave her a good burial. In short, there is no place in my house that can't live up to that slut!"

He wept bitterly, and his expression was extremely sad and angry: "This Zhang has always been small-minded, irritable and irritable, which is a well-known thing. This time, she was the one who was on the road to a dead end, but now she has complained about our father and son, what is the reason?

This person was only halfway through his words, and the group of Lin clansmen next to him also howled loudly.

"Shut up!" Ma Chenggong seemed a little annoyed, and he slammed it on the table in front of him. The dull sound of the clash of gold and wood suddenly suffocated the howls that filled the courtyard.

When the surrounding area was silent enough to hear a needle dropping, Ma Chenggong looked sideways at the Taoist on the altar.

"Daoist over there, what do you think?"

"Back to Lord Duwei, I don't have an opinion. The Taoist raised his eyelids: "The Lin family invited me to come for the purpose of suppressing the soul, and everything else has nothing to do with me." If you need to get rid of demons and subdue demons, you must add money. ”

"Who asked you this?" Ma Chenggong snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's really the same virtue as your master, and it's all in the eyes of money, and it's slippery." ”

At this time, Li Xuan also walked to his side, looked inside the two coffins, and asked curiously, "But does Captain Ma think what they said is not true?"

"I've found its place, but one thing is strange to me. ”

Ma Chenggong's eyes containing spiritual power focused on the well in the courtyard, he clasped his hands to his chest, and his eyes showed confusion: "There is nothing unreasonable in the case, suffocation and death are also the characteristics of the water ghost's harm, but I see that the water ghost's soul power has just arrived in the triple building, where can I have the ability to kill two people in a row overnight?"

Li Xuan bowed slightly, he knew that all evil spirits and ghosts and the like would hardly cause harm to the fleshy living people before entering the Quadruple Building.

At this moment, his eyes moved slightly: "Li Zhutou, didn't you ask for an autopsy before?"

Suzaku Hall and Yingtianfu Yamen have been cooperating all year round, so they know each other with the catchers in the jurisdiction. Although Li Xuan's original body fished all day and dried his nets for half a month, he still recognized many heads, and knew that this black-clothed catcher was named Li Quan, who was in charge of most of the streets south of Ertouqiao, half of which overlapped with their jurisdiction.

"Nope. Li Zhutou was stunned for a while: "I mentioned it, but the family didn't agree, and they didn't want to toss." And it wasn't necessary, right? Many people saw it at the time, and it was indeed a terrible ghost, and they all died of suffocation. ”

"But I smell a little bit of almonds. Li Xuan pointed to the two corpses: "They may have seen evil spirits, but the two in the coffin died of poison." ”

Ma Chenggong's eyes lit up, and he looked at the two corpses again: "Sorry, are you sure?"

"Cyanosis, bright red spots, and a slight almond smell, which is cyanide poisoning. ”

Li Xuan saw that Ma Chenggong and everyone had doubts on their faces, and immediately changed his words: "It's bitter almonds! This poison should be refined from bitter almonds." Before death, it is common to be irritable, inexplicably afraid, have general spasms, have difficulty breathing, or even stop directly. If the dose is large, the time of death after poisoning can be within 30 hours. If you can dissect his body, you can see that his muscles and blood are bright red, unlike ordinary deceased. ”

As soon as Li Xuan said this, those Lin clan people suddenly changed color, and everyone looked at each other, each with suspicion in their eyes.

"Poisoning? How can you die of poisoning?" The middle-aged man in filial piety clothes looked incredulous: "At that time, everyone was watching-"

"Let him do an autopsy and the truth will be revealed. ”

Li Xuan glanced meaningfully at the family members next to him: "Your second brother should still have a family, right? This Brother Lin died a strange death, and he was definitely not harmed by a ghost." I guess the killer shouldn't have had time to deal with the evidence, but if it is delayed for too long, it may not be possible to find out. ”

When Li Zhutou heard this, his eyes in the middle-aged filial clothes suddenly became extremely cold. The latter's face began to turn pale, and a little cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.

"It turned out to be poisoning, it makes sense!"

Ma Chenggong laughed, and then took the two spears from behind him: "However, the responsibility of the envoy lies in slaying the demon and destroying the demon! ”

He glanced at the young Taoist again, and threatened: "The door will be yours, if you dare to let it go, believe it or not, I let people accept your Dao?"

Li Xuan suddenly became excited again, thinking that he could finally see the ghost? He immediately walked to the south courtyard wall, then took out the demon mirror and hung it on the high place of the courtyard wall. After that, he took out two more talismans and pasted them on his arm, one left and one right.

His current realm of martial arts is too low, and without the help of external forces, he can't see the genus of Yin Soul in his normal state. Those two talismans are the 'Taixiao Wind and Thunder Talisman', which can allow him to envelop the power of wind and thunder when he shoots, and his power will be greatly increased.

Money ability - this should be another golden finger after his crossing.

Li Xuan dared to face Situ Zhong directly before, because of a large number of talismans in his sleeve pocket. At that time, it was all thanks to a strong vajra talisman that withstood Situ Zhong's fist power, otherwise his fate would be much worse than Zhang Taishan's.

Ma Chenggong saw it in his eyes, and he also bowed his head with satisfaction.

He still has more trust in Li Xuan's combat effectiveness, although this guy's cultivation is unbearable to look at directly, but because of his noble background, wealthy family, and the magic weapon talisman he brought with him, all of them are the best choice, plus his family's mastery, the actual combat effectiveness will not be lower than the martial arts cultivation of the triple building, or even more than it.
