6. The gossip mirror in the two-dollar store
"Passing by. Ling Bai smiled bitterly.
Ge Xin nodded, let the other police officers take control of the scene, crouched down and began to check the fatal wound on the neck of the middle school student.
"The scar must have been caused by a dagger with a blood groove, and the carotid artery was severed, and the method was extremely cruel. He frowned. Ling Bai looked at his face with a fiercely suppressed anger.
"The murderer is so blatantly killing people on the main road, isn't he afraid of being photographed by the surveillance?" Ling Bai looked left and right, and found that there was no surveillance on both sides at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, the town belongs to the suburbs of the suburbs, except for a few important locations with Skynet, there are no traffic lights, let alone other surveillance.
"Let's go to the office first. Ge Xin stood up a little tiredly and ordered the other assistant police to protect the scene.
He looked at Ling Bai and saw him frozen in place, so he couldn't help but remind him again, "Old Bai, let's go." ”
"Oh. Ling Bai turned his head, got up and walked with Ge Xin to the police station in the town. Just now, when he was looking around for surveillance, he inadvertently saw the back of the teacher surnamed Wang who was about to take down the flower shop.
He is also a middle school teacher, and he just left the scene, will there be any relationship between the two of them?
"It's better to hand over the investigation to Ge Xin, what do I care. Ling Bai shook his head, and when he saw Ge Xin next to him frowning, he couldn't help but smile: "The case is too tricky? ”
"We can't manage such a brutal murder case at all, and we should send someone down to deal with it. Ge Xin's brows gradually softened, "By the way, there is only one flower shop in the town, and the carnation in the deceased's hand should have been bought from you." ”
"Well, I got a call from you not long after she left me. ”
"Recently, there are documents going down to say that evil and strange things have happened in many places across the country, and the methods are extremely cruel, and some victims have even had their blood sucked dry..... After seeing the scene, a master of the middle heaven determined that the murderer might have awakened some kind of demon sect. ”
Ling Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Your recent mission should be related to this, right?"
"That's right, the office received an order to check the population under its jurisdiction to see if there are any suspicious people involved. ”
"Demon Gate Exercises?"
"I don't know the specifics, it's probably the kind of ...... that uses people's essence blood to improve martial arts cultivation."
.....
After a short time, the two walked to the town's police station.
In order to avoid suspicion, Ge Xin asked other colleagues to help record the record. Ling Bai explained in detail the process of rescuing the middle school students after they went to the store to buy flowers.
After finishing the matter, Ge Xin took him to keep the copy of his ID card and graduation certificate, and after passing the background review, he could participate in the physical fitness test at the beginning of next month.
"I'll go back first, you get busy first. "There was a murder case in the town, and everyone in the office became nervous, Ling Bai knew that Ge Xin would be very busy next, so he didn't stay to add to the blockage, and walked along the main road to the flower shop.
When passing by the scene of the murder, several traffic police officers were methodically directing the evacuation of congested traffic. The police at the police station were taking notes of the witnesses at the scene, and the body of the middle school student had been covered with a white cloth, and a woman could be vaguely seen sitting and crying not far away.
The phone vibrates.
There is new information on the application of Landa Temple.
[You have triggered the Teacher's Quest - [Seeking Cause and Effect], the time limit is 7 days.] ]
[Quest Hint: Life can be set aside, and cause and effect cannot be ignored.] ]
[Unlock the first floor of the Pavilion after completing four quests.] ]
Ling Bai pondered the Zen phrase in the task prompt, and then clicked to accept. When a middle school student appears in a flower shop to buy flowers, can it be regarded as contaminated with cause and effect with him?
He didn't think much of it, focusing on the tasks of the master and the words of unlocking the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
The task of the master should be more difficult than the daily task, and it can be seen from the blood groove on the neck of the deceased that the murderer's strength and techniques are beyond ordinary ordinary people, and it is very likely that he is a newcomer who has just awakened the martial arts technique.
From Ge Xin's chat, I learned that in addition to being able to obtain exercises in the secret realm, many people who have a chance can inexplicably awaken their martial arts talents and get mysterious inheritance. This thing is still credible, after all, he himself accidentally got the inheritance of the Landa Temple.
So, who was the killer of the middle school student, and why did he attack a helpless girl?
Ling Bai observed the crowd for a long time before returning to the flower shop.
The time was eleven a.m.
Next door, Uncle Zhang walked in mysteriously with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Xiao Ling, your spirit is good. ”
"It's fine. Ling Bai felt that he should adapt to this kind of idle life, and Uncle Zhang in the noodle restaurant was purely a chatter, and he would get a few words from him as soon as he was free.
"Yesterday, my uncle advised you to go to Nanshan to worship the Buddha, and the abbot of that doctoral student is very powerful. Did you see the ruined temple next door? It was cleaned overnight, and it was very evil. I heard that someone saw a ghost sweeping the floor in the open space in front of the temple last night. ”
When did I become a ghost?
Ling Bai couldn't cry or laugh a little, pretending to scare him mysteriously, "Uncle Zhang, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"You say, what can't you say to your uncle. ”
"The ghost last night, I saw him coming out of your noodle shop......"
Uncle Zhang's face changed slightly, and he scolded with a smile: "You muddy boy, don't talk nonsense, there is a gossip mirror hanging in front of my house, and the evil people will retreat." ”
"I bought it at the two-dollar store?" Ling Bai glanced at him.
"You can also find good things in the two-dollar store, you kid doesn't know the goods. Uncle Zhang snorted coldly, put the cigarette butt on the ashtray on the table, got up and walked out, "Business is not good, people are tired and panicked, if you have a leisurely life like you, it will be much more comfortable." ”
"Shall we change then?"
Uncle Zhang walked to the door and turned around, "This is a handicraft job, and ordinary people really can't do it." ”
"Then I want to see how my uncle's craftsmanship is. Ling Bai got up with a smile, anyway, he was idle, just take a look, maybe he could steal the noodle making craft back, and then go home and make it for his grandparents.
Walking to the front of Uncle Zhang's shop, there was a billboard with the words Lao Zhang Noodle Restaurant painted on it, and a brightly colored gossip mirror was hung upside down on the door beam.
Ling Baideng was amused and teased: "I said Uncle Zhang, your gossip mirror is really new enough, it was produced in January 2017, right?"
"You don't care about the old and the new, it was opened by Abbot Dr. Nanshan. Uncle Zhang fastened his apron, said hello to a few customers in the store, and urged Ling Bai to hurry up and follow him into the back kitchen.
There were fewer people eating noodles at noon than in the morning, but there were still four or five customers seated in the noodle restaurant.
Ling Bai looked around, the furnishings of the noodle shop were very simple, but fortunately they were clean enough.
As he walked down the aisle, a female guest caught his eye.
