Chapter 138: The Resentful Spirit Sent by the Western Temple

Legal citizens of Chenguo have a unique number of identity tags, and civilians need a registration number to enter and exit different regions. If the government wants to find someone, it is simply not too simple.

What's more, the vicinity of the robbery town belongs to the Flame War Zone, Cheng Yu is very handy, Lieyang proposed to arrest Lin Guoyun, several military horses acted immediately, Lin Guoyun could not escape, and he had no choice but to be captured.

At this time, Lin Guoyun's face was tense, there were obvious bruises on his face, and the clothes on his body were torn, and it seemed that he had a fierce conflict with the arresting personnel.

When he was escorted to the hall of Yueyang Tower, the sky gradually brightened, and in order to thoroughly investigate the murder case in Gujia Village, he had tossed all night.

——

Lieyang's patience was very limited, he sat upright, a flash of fire flashed in his left hand, and he had already taken out the Yanguan Sword.

"Liu Jianlong, Lin Guoyun, Gu Jianchang-" The scorching sun was murderous, and the fierce battlefield aura overwhelmed many people, "Explain." ”

Liu Jianlong's face turned pale, and he almost knelt down for Lieyang: "Gongzi is angry, the disciple has already said what he knows, the disciple is really innocent!"

Lieyang's gaze turned to Gu Jianchang: "You won money on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, why did you close your door on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month?

"This ......" Gu Jianchang knew that his status was low, so he had already knelt under the hall, and explained with a stiff face, "On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Gongzi came to the house, and because of the little girl, he exempted the villain from all his debts and gave the villain a lot of money - I thought that if I continued to gamble like this, I would sooner or later harm the whole family, so I wanted to gamble one last night on the night of the Lantern Festival." ”

"When I had a good hand, I won some money. Later, I was afraid that my friends would ask me to gamble, so I hid at home and kept my door closed. ”

Gu Jianchang said, his eyes wandered to the daughter beside Lieyang, and unconsciously shed two lines of tears, and cried for a while: "Third sister, before you leave, your mother must tell your father not to gamble." Dad listened to her words, and he didn't gamble again after the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect that she ......"

The father and daughter have been handling Mrs. Gu's funeral recently, Gu Xue has already known many details, wiped her tears, gritted her teeth and said: "Dad, don't worry, you must tell the truth, the son will definitely return your innocence!"

Many of Gu Jianchang's statements are evidenced by Gu Xue, Gu Yalong, and Gu Yahu, and the matter of going to the next village to build a house was not a temporary idea, but an appointment had been made a long time ago......

Lieyang's brows furrowed even tighter, so Gu Jianchang also cleared his suspicion?

He motioned for Gu Jianchang to stand up, asked Gu Xue to hand him a cup of tea, and immediately looked at Lin Guoyun: "What about you, what do you have to say?"

"I ......" Lin Guoyun was beaten, his cheeks were swollen and high, and his left eye was also swollen and narrowed into a line.

His eyes were flustered, as if he was eager to find a way out, and when he was asked by Lieyang, he shouted at that time: "I was wronged! At night, someone suddenly broke in, and I thought it was a thief who resisted-Mrs. Gu's murder had nothing to do with me at all! I was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I was only entrusted by Liu Gongzi to go to Gujia Village to pick up people. ”

"Originally, I was going to send Mrs. Gu back, but on the sixteenth day of the first month, Miss Gu invited Zhou Hai's carriage, and I don't know what happened later!"

“......”

If there seems to be no flaws, Lieyang always feels untrustworthy when he hears it, including Liu Jianlong, who seems to be honest. Intuition told Lie Yang that these people were all related to Mrs. Gu's death!

In fact, there is already a lot of evidence in this case, and now there is a motive missing!

Just said that he liked Gu Xue, Liu Jianlong would definitely not murder Mrs. Gu, and Gu Jianchang would not necessarily stone his wife to death for money.

Lin Guoyun's family background is not bad, and he can't become an accomplice to the murder just because he lost some money playing cards.

What is the reason for the current situation?

"Anyway, it's dawn, go and call Zhou Hai too!" Lieyang didn't find a flaw for the time being, and instructed the soldiers in the hall, "The murder case in Gujia Village must have a result today!"

However, what is surprising is -

A few minutes later, the soldiers who had gone to the Zhou family in the west of the town hurriedly returned, and said with a pale face: "General Ranger, Zhou Hai...... He's dead. ”

——

When Lieyang arrived at Zhou Hai's house, there was already a scene sent by the yamen to deal with the scene, and the deceased was not Zhou Hai alone - the whole family of five people died at home!

"This is ......" Lieyang felt a little creepy when he saw the wound on the back of their heads.

Leng Qianshuang, Yue Shiyi, and Gu Xue stayed at home, and Lu Yu, Yu Fei, and Bang Cheng all followed. Lu Yu frowned and said: "It is the same as Mrs. Gu's wound, the strength and position are extremely similar!"

Lu Yu glanced at the lamps in the room and analyzed: "The candles in the hall have all burned out, indicating that they were killed last night. ”

Several servants have not yet come up with a report, and when they hear Lu Yu's statement, they will inevitably look sideways, as she said, the time of death of the five victims of the Zhou family was at midnight yesterday.

Lu Yu continued to analyze the situation at the scene: "Moreover, the location of their bodies ......"

The people from the yamen didn't arrive long early, and when everyone heard Lu Yu say this, they also felt that the location of the corpse was very strange - Zhou Hai's parents were all lying in the hall, and there were still crumbs of cups in their hands, and they should have been drinking tea before they died.

Mrs. Zhou collapsed under the hall, and there was a tray for serving tea cups to the right of the corpse.

And Zhou Hai and a child died outside the hall, and there were circular marks on the wet and soft ground, and it was not difficult to find the ball in the corner.

"Plus the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen that haven't been cleaned up yet. "Lu Yu has grasped many clues," which shows that the five members of the Zhou family died after dinner. Mrs. Zhou was serving tea to the two elders, and Zhou Hai was playing with her son in the backyard when he was suddenly attacked and died. ”

"And, since the five of them have no sign of escaping......" Lu Yu stared, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at the scorching sun, "Most likely, they were attacked at the same time!"

"It doesn't make sense......"

Lieyang was extremely puzzled, if he said that he murdered Mrs. Gu, it was possible that he was targeting himself and killing Zhou Hai's entire family, but why?

Others couldn't figure it out, and the officer of the yamen muttered, "Maybe Zhou Hai is the real murderer of Mrs. Gu?"

It's not that there is no such possibility, Lieyang's eyebrows have never been loosened, recalling the scene where Zhou Hai took himself to find Lin Guoyun, and always felt that this old brother was not a sinister person.

Just as he couldn't understand the key, Lu Yu's voice came: "Do you remember the strange feeling of being in the alley next door that afternoon?

Lieyang's pupils shrank, he looked at Lu Yu in a daze, and said with his soul power: "You mean, the resentful spirit that escaped from the West Temple committed these murders?"

"Hmm. Lu Yu nodded his chin slightly, "There are no suspicious footprints in the courtyard, and the killers are either resentful spirits or cultivators - the only cultivator related to this case is Liu Jianlong, but he has a sufficient alibi, and it is difficult for his strength to kill five people in the front and back yards in a short period of time without alarming the neighbors on the left and right." ”

Lie Yang knew that this inference was quite reliable, but he still shook his head: "It can't be so coincidental, the resentful spirit from the west just happened to meet Mrs. Gu who got on and off the carriage?"

"The resentful spirit wants to absorb soul energy, why don't you kill all the people in Gujia Village?"

"At the juncture of our investigation, we harmed Zhou Hai's family?"

Lieyang questioned while analyzing the corpse with the soul power of the Xuan Shang Realm, and just denied the possibility of resentful spirits killing people, but came to a contrary conclusion.

He gasped and said, "Hiss...... These five people have shrunk in the sea of consciousness, the spiritual platform has been injured, and there are traces of being sucked away from their souls!"

Lu Yu also discovered this, so it was almost certain that the murderer of the five members of the Zhou family was a resentful spirit floating near the robbery town!

"It's weird......"

Lieyang was confused, and there were no other murders around the town, why did the resentful spirit's eyes be so stubborn, specifically arresting people related to Yueyang Tower?

Their communication about the case was shared with Yu Fei, and the second lady of the Yu family was also Bing Xue smart, she considered the problem from a different angle, and put forward a possibility: "That resentful spirit, could it be that the West Temple sent to rob the town and specifically deal with Gongzi?"

"Huh?"

Lieyang's pupils shrank, he looked at the purple-clothed girl at hand, nodded slowly, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Don't rule out this possibility, it's not surprising that Emperor Chen wants to kill me, and he uses the power of the West Temple!"

Come to think of it, if there is a mistake in the sealing array of the West Temple, there are often thousands of resentful spirits who escape, how can only one sneak out?

In that case, it all makes sense!

The resentful spirits wandering near the robbery town deliberately arranged and murdered Mrs. Gu by using some interests, and at this time, they wanted to add fuel to the fire and put the lives of Zhou Hai's family of five into it.

What's more, Lieyang has also been to the West Temple and knows what the resentful spirit is in the Western Regions!

Now, I finally see the flaw!

——

Lieyang returned to Yueyang Tower, since the case had other clues, he couldn't wronged the good people. So he put Gu Jianchang and the others back together, but he never noticed that when everyone left, there was a fleeting gray light in someone's eyes!

The sparkle that originally belonged to human beings turned into a creepy hollow in an instant! Like a lonely ghost who has been floating in the wilderness for an unknown amount of time, with resentment that goes deep into the bone marrow.

But only for a moment, unnoticed by anyone.

"Tru...... Hey, the old man's plan actually made the two little ghosts see through it? Hate, hateful! No matter what rain you have, one day, the old man will tear all of you to pieces!"

The possessed spirit roared like a beast, he had a certain ability to think, and he was cunning enough, but after all, he belonged to the remnant soul, and most of his mind was not very clear.

The strength of the resentful spirit is not very strong, but it is difficult to defend against it, and ordinary civilians have no power to fight back in front of it!

Just as this thing was about to leave the hall of Yueyang Tower, a voice suddenly came out: "Xue'er, you stop." ”

“......”
