Chapter Sixty-Eight: Another Supernatural Event
When Mei Ting called Childe's Mansion, it was already Haishi, in the era of modern earth, but it was just the beginning of nightlife, and even Kira Yoshikage was still doing soft exercises.
But in this era of sunrise and sunset, in a world of extreme lack of entertainment, most people at this point have already laid down, or looking for the code of life, or directly falling asleep, only those rich children who have money in the family can light the lamp unscrupulously, can still be active at this point in time.
However, Mei Ting, who appeared in front of Feng Xue, did not have any sleepiness on his face, it should be that the depression and worry overrode the others.
"You're Mei Ting?" Feng Xue asked with an eyebrow.
"It's the villain. Mei Ting nodded again and again, and without waiting for Feng Xue to speak, he said: "The villain really has no choice, the little girl has been missing for almost ten years, she can't see anyone alive, she can't see the corpse dead, she is only fourteen years old......!
"Stop. Feng Xue directly interrupted Mei Ting's next words and said directly:
"When did your daughter disappear, how did she disappear, did you report it to the official, and what did the government say?"
"The little girl disappeared when she worshiped her deceased wife during the Xia Yuan Festival, and she was in the Sheyang Cemetery, the villain thought that it was crowded with too many people, so she went to the county government to report the case, but five days later, there was still no result, and the county government was helpless, the villain heard that Xu Gongzi had a letter box here, and if someone was missing, he could submit a letter, so he voted for the letter......" Mei Ting's organization was very clear, which made Feng Xue nod.
But......
Sheyang Cemetery......
If memory serves, the other three also disappeared near Sheyang Cemetery?
The cemetery is not very different from the cemetery of later generations, after all, the poor people can't afford to get any ancestral graves, and it is already good for the little people to make a catalpa coffin, and the poor ones will be buried with a mat.
However, the human race re-sacrifices and worships the ancestors, and at the same time to facilitate the collection and production of incense, since the establishment of the incense Shinto, the human settlement has a tradition of selecting a piece of land for the funeral of residents, which is the so-called public grave.
"I remember that there is a grave keeper in the cemetery, have you asked him?" Feng Xue knocked on her temple, this Mei Ting is the owner of the incense and candle shop, and he should not have no intersection with the grave keeper of the cemetery.
"I've asked, but people come and go on the next Yuan Festival, and I can't get any useful clues at all......
Mei Ting's face showed pain, Feng Xue also sighed, and then nodded and said, "I will send someone to help you investigate, but it has been so many days, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"No, my daughter isn't dead yet, really!" Mei Ting immediately became excited, as if he wanted to retort loudly, but remembering Feng Xue's identity, he could only restrain himself from letting out a somewhat hoarse hiss from the depths of his throat.
"Oh?" Feng Xue's eyes narrowed, if he had only had the idea of mainly looking for the murderer before, then now, he was indeed a little interested, because he noticed that this Mei Ting was not unwilling to accept the reality, but really felt that his daughter was still alive.
"How do you know she's still alive?" Feng Xue's eyes became sharper, and there was a hint of majesty in her voice, just as the so-called dwelling qi nourished the body, and now on Feng Xue's body, the aura of the superior can no longer be expressed without too much disguise.
"This ......" Metin was a little speechless for a moment, but after struggling for a while, he said with some caution:
"The villain sells incense and candles, and worships the city god Yin Division all the year round, so he has some friendship with the city god of this county, after the little girl disappeared, he went to the city god temple to ask, and the city god said that he did not see the soul. ”
"......" Although Feng Xue has long known that the relationship between the gods and the human world in this era is very close, he really didn't expect this Mei Ting to use this method to prove that his daughter is not dead.
However, if the soul does not go to the city god, it does not mean that the person is not dead.
For example, the rice vessel at the beginning of the year, isn't it that the person is dead, and the soul is not seen?
Feng Xue silently had a calculation in her heart, but nodded but said:
"Then go to the city god and ask if the souls of these three people have gone to the underworld. ”
As she spoke, Feng Xue took out the information that Xu Fu had found before, and it was the three girls who disappeared after Mei Ting's daughter.
"The villain got it. When Metin saw the scattered people on the paper, he seemed a little stunned, but he did not refuse.
Seeing this, Feng Xue still explained:
"These three people are the same age as your daughter, and they have recently disappeared, I suspect that this may be the same 'person', let you ask just to confirm, I will send someone to investigate. ”
"Thank you Childe! Thank you Childe!" Mei Ting thanked him again and again, but Feng Xue waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead. ”
Mei Ting left with a thousand thanks, but Feng Xue frowned and fell into thought.
As a person who regards Murphy's theorem as the ultimate reason, Feng Xue thinks that things will always think in a bad direction.
If this Maiting's daughter is really dead, and the soul does not return to the underworld, it is a typical mysterious event, there must be supernatural factors behind it, and on the other hand, if she is not dead, then there is a meaning to save, and besides, four people have disappeared in a row, and they are all girls of the same age, which is very ritualistic.
After all, according to Xu Fu's investigation, not all four of them are not all national, at best, they can only be regarded as not ugly.
Since there is such a high probability that it is a mysterious event, then Feng Xue will treat it as a mysterious event.
Feng Xue had such an idea, turned around and went to sleep.
At least according to the information obtained so far, the purpose of the "person" behind the scenes is still only a girl, although it is possible to have a strange ceremony such as "the king in yellow chooses a concubine", but it will not affect others too quickly.
In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem to sleep for one night.
After all, it's a cemetery, and when I go to investigate at night, I always feel a little bit of death.
......
Although there was something blocked in his heart, Feng Xue slept quite peacefully this night, and when he got up in the morning and had breakfast, he remembered what happened last night, ordered some guards, and went all the way towards Sheyang Cemetery.
The location of Sheyang Cemetery is in the southwest of Sheyang City, even a few points closer than the road from Xujiazhuang to Sheyang County, and in a few quarters of an hour, Feng Xue and his party have already come to the outside of the cemetery.
The sun in winter is always lazy and lazy, it is really hard to say how much restraint such sunlight can have on ghosts, Feng Xue felt very puzzled about this, it stands to reason that the movement of this desolate celestial body is that the sun revolves around the planet, in this case, why is there a situation where the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct?
After figuring it out, it can only be boiled down to the rules of the mythical world.
