Chapter 11 Birthdate
The three words are like the aftermath of some kind of metal instrument that reverberates for a long time, scattered in Xu Mo's ears, and what disappeared was the phantom of Chi Jingyuan, the great disciple of Rotten Sword Mountain, asking the soul technique has a time limit, and his remaining spiritual power is also not much, of course the maintenance time will not be too long, the phantom dissipated, Xu Mo was stunned for a long time, his empty braincase was filled up at the moment when Chi Jingyuan pointed to his forehead, among which the fairy swordsmanship, strange allusions, everything, trying to imagine the aspect of the shadow stealing case, there was really something related to it in his mind.
For example, the origin and process of shadow stealing are only faint and vague.
"Groove cake, Miss Yue!" Yue Linlang, who ran away because of anger, didn't know where it was, Xu Mo got up and wanted to go out to look for it, but as soon as he opened the door, Xu Mo saw Yue Linlang standing quietly outside the door, at this moment, her pink face was full of tears, and she was all crying with light makeup, seeing Xu Mo push open the door, she wiped away the choked tears with her sleeves, presumably Chi Jingyuan's conversation with Xu Mo, she heard it clearly when she stood outside the door.
"Yue ......"
"You're not a senior brother, are you, but your body is a senior brother!" she burst into tears after she finished saying this.
Luckily in August the weather is not hot, otherwise it would be very cold outside.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know who I am, and I don't know how I got to your senior brother's body, but don't worry, Miss Yue, I will do everything your senior brother tells me." ”
"But...... But the elder brother is dead, whoa...... Senior brother is dead, I still want to marry him, and he promised me to take me to see the sea!" Yue Linlang squatted on the steps, clasped his hands and knees and cried.
"Miss Yue, in fact, he is not completely ...... Your brother is still alive. Xu Mo successfully attracted her attention, turned around a few times and said, "Look, I am your senior brother, and your senior brother is me, in fact, your senior brother is still alive, but he is alive with me." ”
"Really, but big brother ......"
"Little junior sister, come, go back to the house first, it's quite cold outside. The little junior sister came out with three words, Yue Linlang stopped crying and obediently entered the house, no way, Yue Linlang was so cute, Xu Mo, who couldn't see girls crying, Yu Yue Linlang, couldn't see tears, she could only tell a few more white lies, fortunately, Yue Linlang didn't seem to have been in contact with many people since she was a child, her thoughts and mind were very simple, and it was easy to coax.
"Then are you a senior brother!" Yue Linlang, who entered the room and completely inherited the spirit of a baby baby, turned his face and did not recognize people to the fullest, and cried red eyes again.
"Of course I am, if I weren't, how could you use soul questioning to summon an illusion from my body!"
"That's right, then you are really both Xu Mo and my senior brother Chi Jingyuan. ”
"Of course, your senior brother, she is not dead, we are alive together. ”
"Big brother. Yue Linlang cried and cried and plunged into Xu Mo's arms, hugged him and fell asleep, Xu Mo didn't dare to move, he was afraid of waking up this little wrongdoer, some of them had a headache, until he confirmed that the little guy in his arms was really sleeping, Fang picked her up and moved to the bed, placed her on the bed, and covered the quilt.
He didn't know when he would fall asleep, and when he felt it again, he had to open his eyes when the dazzling sunlight outside the window had shone brightly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and seeing Yue Linlang sleeping on the bed, he shook his head, and Xu Mo had a long-lost smile on his face.
"Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief......" Butler Su Ruhai pushed open the door and came in, and before he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving many times faster than when he came, Xu Mo yawned first and then stretched his waist, and then walked out and said, "Steward Su, don't misunderstand, you have something to do with me?"
"That's right, the lord asked the immortal chief to go to the state office, saying that he had something to talk about, and it was about the case. ”
Xu Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pack up and go to the state office." ”
"Well, okay, there is Lao Xianchang. Su Ru said goodbye. Xu Mo glanced at him, went back to the house to wash and tidy up, put on a new set of clothes, wandered around the bed and hesitated, and finally decided to take Yue Linlang to the state government to have a look, he believed that Yue Linlang would definitely be able to help a lot, he had accepted Chi Jingyuan's Rotten Sword Mountain inheritance last night, and he did have some knowledge about shadow stealing in his mind, but unfortunately it was very scattered.
"Hey, Yue ......" Yue Zi exited, Xu Mo recalled the painful experience of being trampled on, and quickly changed his words, "Little junior sister, little junior sister." ”
For Yue Linlang, waking up to the shouts of her senior brother every day is the happiest thing, she stretches her body on the bed like a kitten who hasn't slept enough, and says, "Senior brother, you're awake." ”
"Well, pack up, let's go to the state office. ”
"Okay. ”
Yue Linlang has always only listened to what the senior brother said, and he did it before, and he does it now.
The two packed up and took the carriage of Xiao Mansion to the state office, the state government is about three streets away from the Xiao Mansion, and when they arrived at the state office, it seemed that it had been arranged in advance, and the people who saw Xu Mo were very respectful and called him the fairy chief, and some eyes would also look at Yue Linlang who was following Xu Mo from time to time, and they could always have some envy, when they arrived at the state government court, Xiao Jinan was talking about the case with He Sheng, after all, in the Niu family, He Sheng said that the victim's long sleep may be related to nightmare, so Xiao Jinan naturally wanted to have a good chat with him.
Qin Hansheng, who was the most diligent in the state government, and Yu Quan, the captain of the Siping guard, were also there.
Xu Mo entered the public hall and hugged his fists, "Lord Xiao." ”
"Oh, Immortal Chief, Immortal Elder is finally here. Xiao Jinan was ecstatic, and when Yue Linlang's figure jumped into his eyes, he frowned slightly and said, "Immortal Chief, this is ......"
Xu Mo knew that her sister-in-law would definitely be beaten again, so she said wisely, "Oh, this is my junior sister, she can provide a lot of help for the case." ”
"Ah, really, then Miss Lao will talk about it quickly. The dignified governor Xiao Jinan personally wiped the stool and let Yue Linlang sit down, but inadvertently snubbed Xu Mo.
"Miss Yue, talk about it!"
Yue Linlang smiled, as long as Xu Mo called her junior sister instead of Miss Yue, she was very happy, so she said happily, "Today in the alley, when the wonton shop owner was killed, I happened to be next to me, and I could see that it was the Western Regions' shadow stealing technique." ”
"Shadow stealing?"
Xiao Jinan subconsciously clenched his fists.
Yue Linlang said, "As far as I know, there are two methods of shadow stealing, one is to steal the shadow in person, and the other is to steal the shadow in the air. ”
"We didn't see the killer at the scene, so it can be seen that he was sneaking through the air, so the murderer knew their birth date. Xiao Jinan fell into deep thought, "But I can't figure it out, how could the murderer know their birth dates in such detail." ”
"Why is Lord Xiao frowning?" He Sheng said.
Xiao Jinan sighed and said, "If it is one, then it is not difficult to know his birthday, but now that several families have been victimized, I can't figure out who can master the birthday of so many families at the same time." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jinan looked at Yue Linlang, "Miss Yue, do you know any way to know everyone's birthday." ”
Yue Linlang shook his head and said, "I don't know what magic there is, I can do this, in fact, everyone's birthday, except for parents and myself, maybe my wife doesn't know." ”
"Well, it seems that it is still difficult to find clues!"
"Actually, it's not difficult at all, it's not difficult, it's easy. Xu Mo suddenly spoke, he was afraid that if he didn't say a few words, Xiao Jinan would forget that there was still a Xiao Immortal Elder here.
"Ah, the immortal chief has a way. Xiao Jinan's eyes jumped.
Xu Mo clasped his arms in his hands, leaned on the hall pillar and said, "In fact, there are only two kinds of people who can master the eight characters of all people's birthdays. ”
"Oh?"
Xiao Jinan's eyes were round.
Xu Mo said, "In my opinion, there are only two kinds of people in the entire Changqing Prefecture City who have this ability, one is the gentleman who sets up a fortune teller on the street, they can justifiably ask for everyone's birthday, and the other is the person who manages the household registration of the state government." ”
"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Jinan nodded, feeling a little like seeing the light in the dark, and said, "Then gather all the fortune tellers in the city and check them one by one." ”
"My lord, the lower official will immediately go and investigate. ”
Yu Wanquan bowed and did his best to accept the order in danger.
"Wait!" Xu Mo stopped him and asked, "Why do you want to investigate the fortune teller, is it impossible for the state government to manage the household registration person?"
The fish was silent.
Xiao Jinan said with a smile, "No, it can't be someone from the state government, those street fortune tellers are very suspicious." ”
It's also true that this kind of weird and mysterious thing, how to look at the probability of having a relationship with a fortune teller, is much greater than the probability of having a relationship with a serious official.
