Chapter 414: The Demon Trail of the Town
Every time Yu Qingyao gave away a silver tael, Ah Fu frowned heartbrokenly, calculating what he could buy with the silver.
You know, all this silver is Ah Fu's hard-earned money.
She now finally knows where all her hard-earned money is going.
After treating several patients, one patient recovered, and said with great expectations: "Fairy Yu, you will kill demons and ghosts, right?"
Yu Qingyao paused for a moment, smiled and said, "Of course, I am a Taoist priest, and it is my duty to kill demons and ghosts, and curing diseases is only incidental." What's wrong? Something's wrong?"
The patient said, "Yes, we have recently had someone who has disappeared for some reason, and we suspect that it is a monster." But the local Taoist didn't find out, so they said no. Could you please take a look?"
Yu Qingyao frowned. Generally speaking, few demons can escape the detection of local Taoists. If the local Taoist can't find out, it means that things are very troublesome. Even if she makes a move, it may not be satisfactorily resolved.
Yu Qingyao is not very interested in killing demons and ghosts, and she hates trouble.
Someone is missing, and it doesn't have to be a demon's doing. Kidnapping, robbery, trafficking, and perverted serial killers can all cause people to go missing in a row.
In Yu Qingyao's opinion, if this thing was really done by demons, it would be easier to do. If it was done by a human being, then she might not be able to solve the case. She's never done anything like that!
But in front of everyone, it was bound to be difficult to shirk, she stiffened her head and smiled: "That's it! Can you tell me more about what's going on?"
She was very skillful in saying this, and she didn't say yes, nor did she say no.
But when she says this, people subconsciously think that she is agreeing.
The patient saw that this kind and famous fairy was interested in helping, and he spoke excitedly.
The crowd of onlookers also followed your words and my words.
This has been bothering the people of the town for a while. Many people are worried about this.
People have been missing in the town since the beginning of the year. He was originally a fisherman, and he lived in a hut by the river. He didn't come out to sell fish for several days before people found out that he was missing.
Because the body was not found, and his boat, fishing nets and other things were all there, and the money hidden under the bed was not taken away.
People guess he was killed.
A few days later, a young businessman who had returned home for the New Year went out one night to say that he had an appointment with a friend. As a result, after going out, he never came back. The next day, his family went to a friend's house, but the friend said that he had not seen the merchant at all.
On the evening of the Chinese New Year, another little girl disappeared.
After the New Year, a few days later, an old woman went out to visit relatives, and then she never returned.
A few days ago, a soldier in the town came home from a night of drinking, but he did not return home and disappeared from then on.
There used to be a beggar in the town, but now it's gone.
Some people also said that it turned out that a small merchant who often came had not seen him recently.
If you calculate it this way, seven or eight people, old and young, men and women, are missing.
Yu Qingyao heard it strangely, generally speaking, demons and ghosts have fixed recipes, some like to eat children, some like to kill young men, some prefer women, and some like to bully the elderly, it is rare to have demons who eat people so unpicked.
Demons who are not picky eaters are usually more courageous and arrogant, but judging from this case, this monster seems to be very cunning, which is unreasonable.
It is unreasonable to say that it was done by a man. The missing people have nothing to do with each other, and they don't do it because of love and hatred. They are ordinary people, and they don't have much money on them, and they don't look like murder and robbery. Unless there's a homicidal maniac there.
But if there is such a madman, then this kind of thing should always be right.
Even if you are a madman, you have to be a bold and careful madman, because he will destroy the corpse and make it impossible for everyone to find out.
This kind of person should know how not to commit crimes like crazy, and the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.
Psychopathic murderers also tend to have specific killing targets and are not so picky eaters.
Yu Qingyao thought for a while and felt that it was difficult to understand, so she smiled and said: "I know the situation, and I will check it after I close the stall in a while." ”
Everyone expected to ask the fairy to kill the monster and return the town to peace.
Yu Qingyao couldn't help it, so she nodded with a peaceful smile.
After closing the stall, she went to find the Taoist who guarded the town.
The Taoist said something about the missing person, and he didn't say it as detailed as the person on the street said.
However, he was quite conscientious and made a map of his own, which marked the approximate location of those people who disappeared.
Yu Qingyao looked at the map carefully, pointed to the Wen River on the edge of the town and said, "It seems that these people are missing by the river, have you checked the river?"
The man was embarrassed and said, "I checked, but I didn't find any demonic energy." You know, the water demon in the river is the hardest to find. The river is constantly washing, and there is a demonic aura by the river, and it will be washed away by the river water in a short time. ”
Yu Qingyao nodded. On land, where the monster walked, as long as it wasn't stormy weather, the demon energy slowly dissipated, and there were traces. It's different in the big rivers, the river keeps flowing, and the demonic energy is almost gone in the blink of an eye.
If it is a water ghost, the ghost and the river water are almost integrated, and it is difficult to detect a trace of ghost in a river.
Yu Qingyao thought for a while and said, "Are you sure that the first person who disappeared was the fisherman?"
The Taoist nodded and said, "I checked it three times, and before him, no one was missing." ”
Yu Qingyao said, "Before the fisherman disappeared, was there anything abnormal?"
The Taoist scratched his head and said, "There is a point, he was a bachelor, but he bought a skirt for a woman for no reason, and there is some rouge gouache." Others said that they had heard the voice of a woman in his house at night. I inquired afterwards, and there were no women in the neighborhood who hooked up with him. Later, someone went missing, so I didn't look into it. ”
Yu Qingyao asked, "Is his wealth less?"
"No?"
"So, is there anything that shouldn't be there?"
The Taoist paused, scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this, I'll ask Zhang Zhu quickly." ”
Yu Qingyao nodded, and the man went out, and after a while, he called a middle-aged catcher to come in.
Zhang Zhuai saw Yu Qingyao hurriedly saluting.
Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "No need to be polite, let me ask you, are the skirts and rouge that the fisherman bought still after he disappeared?"
Zhang Zhu thought about it, shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”
Yu Qingyao asked again: "Then, is there something in his house that shouldn't be there?"
Zhang Zhuhai frowned and thought for a while, and said, "When the fairy said this, I remembered that there were a few things that looked strange. ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Zhang Yukuai gestured with his hand and said: "There is a large porcelain vase, half a person high, painted with flowers and birds, I have only seen similar ones at Master Zhou's house." ”
