Seventy-seven: A suspicious unsolved case, a familiar modus operandi
Chapter Seventy-Seven
At this time, Wen Renxing was still wandering in the sword mound, still looking at the stone sword in his hand, the texture of the stone sword was very good, it was cold to the touch, if this stone sword could be taken out, it should be a worthy blade.
"Thank you for your hospitality today!"
Fan Shijin and the others said goodbye to this He Taishou, and prepared to go to the city to find an inn to rest, and stayed tonight.
When he stepped out of this Taishou Mansion, Liu Cong couldn't help but ask more: "I don't know what this Taishou means?"
"Since He Taishou has decided to let him go, then I should be grateful! Fan Shijin looked at the sky in the distance, this day was like a fire burning clouds, and the red scene was very beautiful.
"Several! This little brother will stay in Taishou Mansion to recuperate, He Taishou has a large number of people, and he must be more careful than us!" Uncle Wei said.
"What about the inn, but how is it good?" asked Liu Cong.
"Find someone closer to the Taishou Mansion, and pay attention to it now. ”
Uncle Wei is very careful in everything, not like ordinary martial artists.
A group of people went out of the Taishou Mansion, and really saw an inn not far away, and when everyone walked to the inn, the fire clouds on the edge of the sky seemed to burn the clouds, leaving only a black paste, and then the sky was dark and night.
This time, Fan Shijin did not book two more rooms, but booked a large room, no matter how Wei Shujin persuaded him, Fan Shijin insisted on booking one, and in the end the five of them had to squeeze into a guest room.
"Have you listened carefully to what He Taishou said?" Xiong Jingchong closed the door and looked at the few people in the room.
Uncle Wei came in a little late, so naturally he didn't hear what a few people said before; as for Bai Xiyue, he was trembling on the side, and he didn't want to listen carefully to what he said; while Liu Cong was worried about Wen Renxing's injury, so he sat there and was distracted, so he shouldn't have listened much.
"Jing Chong is talking about the lake water mystery case, isn't there a new insight?" Fan Shijin sat on the cushion.
"Yes, where did the case come from, have you ever thought about it? That is the strange pattern on the ground, and the strange ritual in He Taishou's mouth, a few people think about it carefully!" Xiong Jingchong hoped that these people in front of him could say the same opinion as him.
Seeing that Bai Xiyue suddenly stood up, Xiong Jingchong's eyes lit up at this time and said, "Brother Bai has thought of it!"
"It's not... My ass is a little itchy, scratch it!" Bai Xiyue stretched out his hand and grabbed his ass, and then sat down again.
After Fan Shijin thought about it, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd that Xiong admired in front of him.
"Then I'll give you a hint again! valley! valley! flower!" the bear stretched out his arms and flapped his wings like an eagle.
Fan Shijin had a flash of inspiration, and then smiled evilly and said, "Respect, you think about that!"
Uncle Wei understood as soon as he heard it, and he also snickered, and slapped his palm on the table and said: "This implication is obvious, isn't it just looking for flowers and asking willows? I'll go out now, this will be the time when the business of the green building is booming, and there will be no land if I go late!"
"Since Brother Wei also has this intention, I, Fan, will not postpone it! Brother Cong, help me up!" Fan Shijin said and beckoned to Liu Cong.
“... I mean, I'll wait until I meet that ghost Taoist priest in Meridian Valley!, and a living person sacrifices that ghost Taoist priest!" Xiong Jingyu directly explained the answer.
Fan Shijin, who was about to stand up, sat back, his head buzzing, and the experience of the whole way was upside down in his mind, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Xiong's reverence. If you want to take so many people's lives in a short period of time, it is a strange pattern, and it is a strange ritual, there is only one person, and that person is the Meridian Valley God, who pretended to be a god and played ghosts in the Meridian Valley before, and is also a comprehension of ghost consciousness, and several people were almost sacrificed in the Meridian Valley before.
"What's the situation, Brother Fan?" said Uncle Wei, looking at this Fan Shijin.
"Brother Wei, have you ever heard of ghost sense?" Fan Shijin said back.
"I've heard that many priests of ancient tribes have ghost sense, and they are very crooked!" Wei Shujin said.
Liu Cong and Bai Xiyue glanced at each other, thinking of the same thing in their hearts: Could it be that this old way has sneaked into this place.
"I met a ghost consciousness comprehension through Meridian Valley before, and I was almost used as a living sacrifice! Now looking at the unsolved case in Xiapi, although the death method of which people is not exactly the same as ours, this method should be the same kind of method, if the guess is correct..."A cold sweat broke out on Fan Shijin's body, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Go on, Brother Fan!" Liu Cong urged.
"If that's what I expected, the upstairs of the previous ship... There should still be some kind of paper charm near the doors and windows... It was the rope that fixed us to the altar before, and if the big room of people couldn't create a closed space, the people would have run away long ago, so this old way... There will definitely be some way to fix the doors and windows, but it must not be a lock, it must be a witchcraft of some kind of symbol or pattern to achieve this condition!" Fan Shijin said his opinion in detail.
After hearing this, Xiong Jingchong hurriedly stood up and said to everyone: "I'll hurry to that boat, and I can find something now!"
After hearing this, Bai Xiyue's soul was half frightened, and now Xiong Jingchong was about to pull a few people to the scene of the murder, Bai Xiyue said: "This has already destroyed the corpse, how can I wait to find it?"
"This is not necessarily, when I went to the shipbuilding by mistake, this person may have heard the sound of my footsteps, so he fled in a hurry, and the next day there were officers and soldiers guarding, it is impossible to destroy the evidence on the spot, even if it is destroyed, it will not be so clean, there will definitely be something!" Fan Shijin also stood up, this is their best chance to get rid of suspicion for themselves, otherwise they will always be the object of suspicion of others.
Although Wei Shujin still hasn't understood what happened, this matter of looking for flowers and asking willows should be in vain.
"What Brother Fan said is reasonable, I'll go quickly, maybe I can find some clues!" Liu Cong echoed.
After that, the group walked out of this guest room, and Bai Xiyue on the side had no choice but to follow, just after listening to such a terrifying story, he didn't dare to stay in this room alone.
"There is still some distance in and out of the city, so go down and ask the shopkeeper if there is a carriage on the way. Uncle Wei ran in front and said.
The shopkeeper was originally wiping the table, but when he saw a big man running over, he hurriedly took out a jar of wine from his body, and opened his mouth to say, "The guest officer must want to drink!"
"No, is there a carriage here to go out of the city?" Wei Shujin shook his head at first, and then asked.
The shopkeeper put the wine back with a little disappointment, squinted his eyes and thought about it again, and said, "There is no one who is going to leave this time, and there is one last trip to leave now..."
"You can sit four people!" Uncle Wei said, throwing out a tael of silver.
The shopkeeper's originally squinted eyes opened suddenly, and he took the silver and said, "Don't say four people, it's ten people!
The group got into the carriage and drove out of the city. Uncle Wei stopped riding his own horse, and followed everyone into the carriage.
"Brother Fan, don't worry so much! Liu Cong saw that Fan Shijin was a little anxious, and hurriedly comforted.
"It's not that I'm anxious, I'm afraid of ......" Fan Shijin stopped talking.
"What are you afraid of?" Bai Xiyue was also too scared.
"I'm afraid that this villain will also have the same thoughts as me, maybe he will wait one step ahead of me to destroy the evidence!" Speaking of this, Fan Shijin's brows furrowed again.
"That means we might run into that murderous maniac?" Bai Xiyue's teeth chattered.
"It's probably a very big thing, something we can all think of, and it's not out of the blue. Xiong Jingchong looked fearless.
"Damn, the coachman can let me go... Go?"
Before Bai Xiyue finished speaking, Liu Cong's hand welded his mouth, Liu Cong's trick was learned by Uncle Wei, and he couldn't break this hand with extraordinary strength.
"Brother Cong is doing a good job, this timid Bai Xiyue, he has to train him out, every time he is either holding his head and running away, or on the way to holding his head and running away..."Fan Shijin looked at Bai Xiyue quite helplessly.
"Hurry up!" Wei Shujin shouted outside.
The carriage galloped out of the city, and the wheels would be tossed every time they hit the stones, and several people in the carriage ignored the bumps, and lifted the curtains and looked at the boats on the lake and river, this scene was very familiar, and it was the same as the scene when several people arrived in Xiapi that night. Looking in the direction of the ship, its lights were not as bright as they were that day, the lights had long since been extinguished, and a black boat was moored on the lake, looking lifeless. The lights of other boat buildings on the lake are still bright and dazzling, attracting many customers from afar to board their own boat buildings.
"Trick!" Fan Shijin did not retract his head sticking out of the window.
"What kind of trick?" asked Liu Cong.
The oncoming wind blew Fan Shijin's hair from side to side, and then Fan Shijin retracted his head and said: "What the Meridian Valley God is best at using that day is the blinding method, which is to use this method to pretend to be a god and make ghosts, and trick the people of the Meridian Valley to use it for him, which is his usual trick." ”
"So that day when I waited to look at the lake, I only saw this boat, and if I am not mistaken, this set must have been left for us to drill. Xiong Jingchong added again.
"But how did he know that I was going to come to Xiapi, and how did he calculate the right time for me to wait for him?" asked Liu Cong.
"You don't need to think about it that complicated, you can think that this person is just about to make a big plan, and he happened to see the traces of us, so he came up with this plan, and many things are just caused by coincidence. Fan Shijin guessed.
"My opinion is the same, there must be a shocking conspiracy behind this! I can't kill that old man before, but a room of people died in this instant, and I don't know how many times I have to kill it to get done. ”
Xiong Jingchong recalled the previous scene, the old Dao of Meridian Valley transformed into several people, and everyone worked together to surround and kill them one by one, but the result was that this person escaped.
"A few masters, it's on the ground!" The coachman said after stopping the carriage.
After Uncle Wei finished giving the money, he got out of the carriage with everyone. The group came to the bottom of the building again, but the ship was no longer the bright and dignified appearance before, the whole ship was wrapped in a gloomy air, there was no light at all, and there was no breath of living people in it, not so much a boat, but a ghost boat floating over the river and sea. And the plank leading to the ship in front of everyone, looking up along the plank, they can't see the situation on it, and it seems to be darker at this time.
