Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 137
[Chapter 103: “Four More in One” Turning over the wife window… (1)]
Li Huaigu did not have traces of cinnabar or other traces on his hands.
Lin Chengyou inspected it and went straight back to the back of the table: “I remember that you were cursed last time, but General Li seems to have never gone to Dali Temple to report to the officials?”
Li Huaigu replied softly, “Because Grandpa doesn’t want to report to the authorities for the time being.” In these years, when Grandpa was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because he was bent on offending many local fish and meat people, Grandpa said that retaliating against the Li family is likely to be this group of people, but at present the other party has not left too many flaws, even if the case is reported, at best, it can only catch one or two top offenders, and after this matter is settled, the mastermind behind the scenes will also intervene, so Grandpa wants to wait for the other party to show more flaws, and then ask Dali Temple to formally intervene in this matter.
Yan Ji looked at Lin Chengyou in surprise, this Li Sanniang not only had a clear mouth, but also had a skill of seeing and knowing.
Lin Chengyou asked, “Since that incident, has your government encountered any strange incidents recently?”
Li Huaigu shook his head: “I have been studying in the academy recently, I have never encountered any strange things again, and I heard my grandmother say that my family is also peaceful all day.”
Lin Chengyou did not answer the call, he vaguely had a feeling, although the murderers all knew magic, but against the Li family, and tonight’s murder of Wu Daniang were two groups of people.
The murderers of the Li family used the most vicious spells. Not only did Li Sanniang die, but the entire Li family was also unlucky.
Tonight’s murderer’s methods were much more gentle, and the goal was clear, only to deal with Wu Zhen alone.
“What strange things have Wu Zhen said lately?” Or who did you have a conflict with in the academy?
Li Huaigu shook his head cautiously: “I don’t know this.” “Well, there’s
nothing more to ask, you can go.”
As soon as Li Huaigu left, Yan Sizhi asked doubtfully, “Lin Comment, have you seen this Third Lady Li before?” Lin Chengyou was
busy sorting out the clues in the words of several people in his mind, and listened to these words casually: “Oh, I have seen it.” However
, he didn’t leave any impression until teng Yuyi reminded him last time that he remembered that he had seen such a person, paused, and turned his head and asked, “Why did Brother Yan ask like this?”
Yan Si was straight and dumb, Li Sanniang was originally calm and generous, Lin Comment was close but obviously out of shape, that kind of cramped, secret shyness he had seen in his newlywed wife, this kind of affection could not be hidden, once faced with his sweetheart, it would be inadvertently revealed.
If there is no drapery hat to cover up, it will definitely leak more, and Li Sanniang seems to be afraid of being seen, and only returns to normal in an instant.
He wanted to say bluntly, “That Li Sanniang seems to like Lin Commenting very much”, but he swallowed it back to his mouth.
This kind of thing is related to the reputation of the woman, and he is not ten to nine stable, Lin Commentator now seems to have only one Teng Niangzi in his eyes, this can be seen when Lin Commentator asked Teng Niangzi earlier, if he said his doubts without authorization, it seems to be not very kind to that Li Sanniang.
He had to change the topic with a hard scalp, laughing and saying: “Oh, just now I heard you ask About the conspiracy of Li Sanniang’s Li family, I wanted to ask a few more questions, since I am busy looking for the murderer at the moment, let’s ask it again when we have time, who will we pass on next?” ”
Pass on the Du Niangzi.”
Du Tinglan came up.
Yan Ji asked directly: “Lady Teng said that when she last saw Wu Ji tonight, Wu Ji said to her: ‘Your sister said that you went to Linshui Zhai to get the jewelry that was fixed'”… So you met before Wu Ji’s accident?
“Seen.” Du Tinglan, “My brother and I were waiting for my sister in Ju Shuang Zhai, during which the same window people went out to play one after another, and my brother said that he was going to put on the wishing lamp, and we came out.” That’s when we met Lady Wu nearby, she was holding a newly bought silk flower in her hand, very happy, I asked her where she was going, she joked that she wanted to do a big thing, she saw that Ayu was not with me, she asked Where Did Ayu go, I said a few words and separated.
“A big deal?” Yan Jizhi said, “She can say what a big deal.”
“She didn’t say it, and I didn’t ask.”
Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “Who were around Wu Zhen at that time?”
Du Tinglan said cautiously, “It seems that only a few maids were brought.” “No
window to accompany? The Wu brothers and sisters are not around?
Du Tinglan shook his head.
Lin Chengyou asked, “Did you meet Wu Zhen at Ju Shuang Zhai tonight?”
Du Tinglan: “No. Tonight, although the same window is about to come to the Qinglong Temple Theater to play, but almost as soon as they come, they scattered, and then they either went to see a hundred plays together, or went to the wishing lamp together, and rarely gathered at the time of the Chrysanthemum Festival, who was more or less, no one cared at all. As soon as
Du Tinglan left, Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “Don’t you think it’s strange that After Wu Zhen finished ‘secretly calculating’ Deng Weili, it seems that he has not returned to Ju Shuang Zhai all night.” Yan Ji
nao carefully examined everyone’s answers, and before he could do so, he said, “It really is.”
He nodded his head at the record: “Deng Weili’s side, according to her own words, every time she comes out to play, she leaves later than others, and today is no exception.” Originally, she had made an appointment to meet at Kikushuangsai at the beginning of the unitary period, but she did not arrive at the gate of the Qinglong Temple until the middle of the unitary time.
As a result, as soon as he got out of the car, he met Wu Jiao, who said that a new friend wanted to introduce Deng Weili to him, and asked Deng Weili to wait for her on the arch bridge, and Deng Weili, out of trust in Wu Wei, took the maid with him.
After that, she never saw Wu Zhen.
“Teng Niangzi and Du Niangzi have encountered Wu Ji once each, but they all met outside the building, and the other windows except for the first time they saw Wu Ji in Ju Shuang Zhai, and they have never seen them again.”
“As for the Wu brothers and sisters. Wu Yuanluo bought a candy man to go in and look for two younger sisters, but only saw the second sister Wu Qi, Wu Qi said that the eldest sister entered the Ju Shuang Zhai with her, but as soon as she sat down, she went to find brother, Zheng Shuangyin and Liu Siniang were the first to arrive, both of whom could prove this, and then Wu Qi stayed in Ju Shuang Zhai to play with the same window, but never saw her sister return. In this way, all night Wu Zhen only entered the Chrysanthemum Frost Fast at the beginning.
Lin Chengyou nodded, “Wu Ji’s delay in returning to Ju Shuangzhai is nothing more than two reasons: she refuses to return, and some people don’t let her return.”
If it is the former, she calculated the same window Deng Weili, because she did not dare to return because of her lack of heart. Rumors are such a thing, the more widely spread the better, Wu Jian was afraid that Deng Weili would confront her face to face, and second, he was afraid that there were not enough hours of fermentation. As long as the parties did not react that they had been secretly calculated, naturally they would not take the initiative to clarify, and when the Deng family reacted, the people of Man Chang’an would think that Lady Deng had met with me. Then Wu Ji’s purpose was achieved. Yan
Ji hesitated: “But the paper package can’t hold the fire, even if there is no accident with Wu Ji tonight, as long as Deng Weili confronts him in public tomorrow, everyone will know that this matter is a ghost made by Wu Ji, and when Wu Ji does not say that he will run for the crown princess again, the entire martial family will be disgraced because of this.”
Lin Chengyou smiled: “Yes, this kind of useless thing, fools will do it, so I guess Wu Ji has also been calculated, she either bet with people, or entrusted by people, in short, she passed it on to Deng Weili according to the original words, but she did not know that doing so would bring great harm to Deng Weili and herself.” Then there is only one possibility that she will not return to Ju Shuang Zhai – someone deliberately does not let her return. Because the man knew that as long as Wu Ji and Deng Weili met each other, Wu Ji would have an epiphany that she had been framed, and she would inevitably tell on the spot who was sending her a message tonight, and then expose the true face of the man in front of the same window. “As
a result, before the two of them could meet, Wu Ji was killed.” Yan Ji was a little confused, “If this is calculated by the murderer in advance, it is inevitable that it will be too accurate.” No, Lady Wu had been a god before the accidentZhi Is sober, what can I do to make her not return to Ju Shuang Zhai? Lin Chengyou: “The
method is very simple, Before Wu Xuan had an accident, he said that he was going to do a big thing, and this ‘big thing’ may be the hook under the murderer.” The two of them agreed that they could not return to Ju Shuangzhai before they were finished, so when Teng Niangzi saw Wu Ji, Wu Ji was holding a number of gadgets in her hand, assuming that they were bought temporarily tonight, and it was obvious that Wu Ji had been hanging out for a while. “Isn’t
there a maid by Wu Zhen’s side…” Yan Jizhi’s spirit perked up, “Don’t you know who that person is when you call the maid and ask?”
As a result, several of Wu Ji’s maids were asked, and Yan Ji was dumbfounded on the spot.
The maids did not know what the “big thing” their eldest wife was talking about.
Tonight when the martial sisters arrived at Ju Shuang Zhai, as soon as Wu Da Niang sat down, she said that she was going to pick up Deng Weili, let the second sister wait for other peers in the shop, and she led the maids out of the building.
However, as soon as she went outside, Lady Wu said that she would first go to Wu Yuanluo to discuss things, and let the maids go to the river to wait for her after a pillar of incense, and after saying this, she left alone.
By the time the eldest bride reappeared, it was already after a pillar of incense.
In this pillar of incense work, the maids did not know who the eldest lady had seen and said.
Afterwards, they were also surprised to hear that the eldest lady had lured Deng Weili to the arch bridge, because it was impossible for her own mother to do such a thing.
Lin Chengyou said, “You mother left alone, you are not worried?” The
leading maid shook his head, “The slaves think this is the arrangement of the Grand Duke.” The grand duke heard that the academy would be on holiday, and he had long said that he would take the two ladies to have fun tonight, and the grand duke did not like people to inquire about the main family, and the sons of did not dare to follow up.
Lin Chengyou groaned, he had already asked Wu Yuanluo earlier, Wu Yuanluo had not seen his eldest sister all night, until he heard the screams and looked for the past, only to find that it was his sister who had an accident.
Moreover, if Lady Wu was just looking for her brother, there was no need to even separate the maids around her.
However, if you go to see outsiders, tonight there are eyes and ears everywhere, and it is impossible for Lady Wu not to know what misunderstandings will lead to when she meets outsiders privately, and there must be some special reason for calling a famous lady like her to meet alone.
He then said, “What did your lady say when she came back, and did she look abnormal?” Son-in-law
: “The lady seems to be a little lost.”
Lin Chengyou flashed a bright light in his mind, smiled and changed his question: “Do you know that the prince will come to the vicinity of the Qinglong Temple tonight?” The
maids’ eyes fluttered, and they shook their heads busily, “The maids don’t know.” But the
twinkling eyes already said it all, and that was enough for Lin Chengyou.
Asked until now, I finally glimpsed a little truth in the fog.
Presumably, the Wu family heard in advance that the prince would come to the Qinglong Temple theater tonight, so they told the eldest daughter about this matter, which was a perfect opportunity to create a prince and Wu Da Niang alone, and in order to make the prince favor Wu Da Niang, the Wu family would definitely do everything in their power.
The martial family has a large population, this matter will always leak out, perhaps someone took advantage of this, in the name of the prince, to lead Wu Da Niang to a certain place, and at the same time, used some method to let Wu Da Niang lure Deng Weili to the arch bridge.
After Wu Ji passed on the message to Deng Weili, he went to the appointment with full hope, but unexpectedly he could not see the prince, and ran in vain, and it was inevitable that he would be a little lost when he returned.
That way, it all makes sense.
Therefore, the maids’ words were flawed, and Wu Yuanluo and Wu Qi knew that the eldest lady had not returned to Ju Shuangzhai, but they had not been in a hurry to find it.
Perhaps they all thought that Wu Da Niang was with the prince at that time, such a beautiful night, young men and women playing in the same playground, naturally they would have secret feelings, as long as the prince moved his heart, Wu Da Niang was the candidate for the crown princess.
This is a glorious joy for the samurai.
Who knows it’s all just a trap.
In the end, Deng Weili was secretly calculated, Wu Ji inexplicably carried the black cauldron, and even he was tricked.
Inquiring into the whereabouts of the prince is a big taboo, the maids said that it is impossible to admit death, Lin Chengyou smiled, and suddenly changed the topic: “So this time your wife came back, there was an extra piece of oil on her arm?” The
sons of shuddered. Cheng Wang Shizi seemed to be very concerned about this, and repeatedly asked when the eldest bride’s clothes were stained.
“Nothing.” The sons of didn’t dare to hide anything else, “Such a big piece of oil, the will never look at it.” The slaves were sure that the woman’s clothes were clean until the accident. I remember the lady came back a little lost, but did not say anything, while taking us around, while from time to time will look at the river, halfway if you encounter the same window, the mother will always stop to say a few words, about half an hour, said to go to the river to put a wishing lamp, the result just walked to the arch bridge near the accident. We also didn’t know until the woman convulsed and fell to the ground that we found that she had a large oil stain on her arm.
Yan Ji nodded his head, and it seemed that the oil stain was left by the murderer when he moved.
“What strange smell did you smell at the moment of the incident?”
Several of the maids looked at each other.
Lin Chengyou reminded them: “The smell of burning, or the smell of oil or something.” One of the
maids was stunned: “When I remembered, I smelled a burnt smell, but the maids soon found out that the lady was wrong, and they didn’t care to find the source of the burnt smell.” It
seems that this should be the taste of the burnt charm.
Lin Chengyou added, “Was there a certain lady in the academy who was close to your lady at the time of the incident?” The
maids said blankly, “I didn’t see it.” “Do
you see a man with meat in his hand?”
The maids shook their heads again.
“Haven’t seen it all night?”
“Nothing.”
When Lin Chengyou was about to be questioned, one of Kuannu’s retinue ran up to his life, hurried to Lin Chengyou’s side, and whispered: “The little people have detained Lu Zhao’an, but he does not have meat on his hands, and he was drinking with several friends at the time of the incident, which everyone at the table can testify about.”
This does not explain anything, even if Lu Zhaoan is related to this matter, he will not be stupid enough to take matters into his own hands. Lin Chengyou whispered, “Can you catch a person carrying meat?” The
attendant shook his head, “I didn’t get caught.” The door has long been closed, the nearby bad people are all mobilized, the street entrance is blocked one by one, the man can’t escape, Kuannu also specially sent people to guard the river, as long as someone throws meat into the water, immediately arrest it, but it is strange to say, I have not seen a person carrying meat.
Lin Chengyou’s eyelids jumped, isn’t it meat meat?
He had seen the Soul Extraction Secret Book written by the Qiankun Sanren, and it was indispensable to perform this technique with two things: the Soul Charm and the Soul Locking Bag.
However, the soul charm is different from the ordinary rune, it is several inches wide, the charm is coated with corpse oil, only this one, it must be used repeatedly, and after ignition, it will not turn into ashes on the spot, but will burn for a few breaths and then extinguish.
The soul sac is tied with a soul bell, because the sac is full of resentment, and the bell will ring from time to time.
Therefore, it is not difficult to perform this technique in public, but the difficulty is to sell the stolen goods afterwards.
Anyone who sees someone holding a burning charm in his hand will be suspicious, and it will be strange to hear the bell, but no one noticed anything different around them after tonight’s incident.
After the murderer cast the spell, he must have immediately hidden the rune and the lock soul bag, because it was hidden in time, and he could even pretend to be a passerby and watch the liveliness.
Hiding in the garment is not possible, because the charm will set the garment on fire.
It is not okay to hide in the lantern, because the lantern can only help cover the burning charm, but it cannot stop the sound of the bell that locks the soul capsule…
So he suspected it was a piece of meat. After the murderer committed the crime, he stuffed the charm and the lock soul sac into the meat, and then left with the meat without doing anything, so no one at the scene was suspicious.
The fact that a huge oil stain appeared from Wu Ji’s body could completely prove his speculation. After examination, the soles of Li Ying’er’s feet and the palm of his right hand that died at the Chu Guo Temple last time were stained with oil.
This is the biggest similarity between the two soul-snatching cases.
The charm is very important to the murderer, and it is impossible to throw it away unless it is a last resort.
So as soon as he arrived at the scene, he sent people to block the surroundings, and then checked the suspicious people one by one, but all the people and horses were already in place, and still did not find the suspect, and the maids also said that they had not seen anyone carrying meat all night.
Could it be that his thinking was wrong? If it is not meat, there is something inconspicuous in the hand.
Looking down, Lin Chengyou’s eyes froze: Yes, a wine bottle or a water bladder.
As long as the bottle is filled with water, it is not difficult to hide the burning charms and bells.
Lin Chengyou’s heart jumped, and he turned his head and said a few words to the retinue, and the retinue hurried away.
After the entourage left, Lin Chengyou’s face slowly cooled down, and the murderer seemed to know his work style very well, and even he was calculated in advance, if it were not for the conspicuous oil stains left in both cases, his train of thought would not have been led to the meat by the murderer.
Hopefully, it’s still too late.
After the maid of the martial family left, Yan Jizhi carefully reviewed the dictations of the people: “The people who used Wu Ji to frame Deng Weili were not the same group as the people who used magic to plot Against Wu Ji. The former was to ruin the reputation of Wu Ji and Deng Weili, and the latter directly took away Wu Ji’s soul, if the murderer was the same, why bother so much, it was completely possible to take away the souls of both at the same time.
Lin Chengyou secretly thought, no, it must be the same person. The murderer was not afraid to confront himself afterwards when laying out the layout, and obviously had expected that Wu Zhen would lose his soul tonight.
It’s a complete and meticulous bureau.
Yan Ji analyzed directly: “The person in front of him can make Wu Zhen trust so much, it must be some classmate in the academy who kicked out Wu Ji and Deng Weili, who are most likely to become the crown princess, and the chance of her turn is greater.”
He said, and the pen circled the “Zheng Shuangyin” and “Liu Siniang” in the name list.
Lin Chengyou took a look at it and conveniently circled the names of a series of noble women such as “Peng Huayue”, “Peng Jinxiu”, “Deng Weili”, “Chen Dai’er” and so on.
Yan Ji was stunned: “This-”
Lin Chengyou smiled: “Kicked away the Wu and Deng families, Zheng Liu and the two are indeed the most likely to be selected, but Brother Yan don’t forget, all the students in the academy are among the candidates, and the candidate for the crown princess is not announced one day, which means that everyone has the opportunity to compete, as for Deng Weili, in view of the fact that tonight this matter was broken on the spot, her reputation is not damaged, but she has picked herself clean, so she can’t rule out the suspicion, and in my opinion, that person may not be the same window, to make Wu Wei defenseless, As long as it was someone that Wu Xuan trusted, he could do it.
Yan Ji was puzzled: “No, it still doesn’t make sense, since the candidate for the crown princess has not been announced, why should the murderer rush to do it, in case he hurts the wrong person, isn’t it in vain?” I still maintained the original view that if the person wanted to remove the obstacles, he could take away the souls of Deng Wu and Deng Wu at the same time.
Lin Chengyou touched his chin: “What if there is a rumor that the Crown Princess has decided to be Wu Da Niang?”
Yan Ji was dumbfounded.
Lin Chengyou looked at the case and thought that during this time, in order to find out who the Peng family had installed in the dprk, he and the sage would release some wind noises from time to time.
For example, last time on Mount Li, in order to examine the hearts of the students of the academy, my aunt specially tested everyone with an injured peasant woman.
As a result, only Teng Yuyi, Du Tinglan, Zheng Shuangyin and Wu Zhen returned to find the peasant women.
The Peng sisters were completely unaware of this.
From this point of view, the Peng family had not yet been able to install their own people in the palace, and when the uncle deliberately revealed this matter to Shangshu Province, the Peng family quickly reacted.
In addition to the Peng family, there should be no news in the Lishan Wu family that time, otherwise it would not only be Wu Zhen who would return, but her sister Wu Qi would also return.
From this point of view, Wu Da Niang is a truly kind person.
Later, when some people heard about this, of course, they would think that the future crown princess candidate would be chosen among these four people.
But the Du family is now in decline, and Teng Yuyi is obviously not here, so all that remains is Zheng Shuangyin and Wu Zhen.
Not long after entering the academy to study, Lady Liu, the vice dean, lifted Wu Miao many times because of her good personal relationship with Lady Wu, and within a few days of the start of school, she sent a number of articles written by Wu Ji into the palace to show her aunt.
Wu Ji’s literary talent is outstanding, and his aunt naturally appreciates it.
These points added together are enough to make people think that the crown princess will set up a martial arts.
If this matter is delayed any longer, it will be a foregone conclusion, so the forces behind it can’t help but take action.
Yan Sizhi still expressed doubts about the reason for this harm: “Lin Comment, don’t forget, this murderer also killed Li Ying’er in the same way at the Chu Guo Temple, Li Ying’er is the daughter of the common people, it is impossible to have a relationship with the royal family in this life, as for Hu Jizhen, who was killed last month, he is a boy.” Neither of them could have become a princess, but both had their souls taken away.
Lin Chengyou did not say a word, which was also the link that made him most confused.
The motives for several murders are obviously inconsistent.
Yan Sizhi continued, “In addition to this, the maid of the martial family did not see the same window of the academy at the time of the incident, and I remember lin commenting that this kind of soul-taking technique was left behind by the Wuji Gate in that year, and the soul-taking had only several purposes: to pose the formation and help the close relatives to summon the soul.” Maybe the murdererWanting to use magic to achieve a certain goal, so looking for a suitable target on the street, he bumped into Hu Jizhen and Li Ying’er in front of him, and tonight he inadvertently bumped into Wu Zhen, and the souls of these people met his requirements, so he took advantage of the fact that there were more people.
Lin Chengyou hugged his arm and pondered for a while, then smiled and said, “Tonight the door of the factory will be closed as soon as the incident occurs, if there is no accident, the murderer will be caught within half an hour, and the first trial will be known at that time.” This side has asked almost, go and see if the murderer has fallen.
Yan Ji closed his pen book and hurried downstairs with Lin Chengyou to help catch the murderer.
*** As
soon as Wu Da Niang had an accident, Kuan Nu led people around the Qinglong Temple theater under the assignment of Lin Chengyou, and anyone who carried a large piece of meat in his hand had to be detained on the spot.
Soon the servants and bad people were also ordered to come, and one group patrolled the streets, and the other was responsible for watching the entire river area near the Qinglong Temple.
This investigation was half an hour, and as a result, not a single person carrying meat in his hand saw it.
Seeing a drunk man with a wine jug approaching, Kuan Nu stepped forward to stop the man, the man was open-chested and backless, and he was talking drunkenly, and Kuan Nu stared up and down at the drunk man several times, making sure that there was no place for meat in this outfit, but when he caught the man’s arm and smelled it, he smelled a little oily smell.
In order to be foolproof, Kuan Nu searched his body carefully, but even the soles of his shoes were searched, and not even an ant was hidden.
The drunkard burped, “What are you going to do?” I, I am a good citizen, you stop people in the street for no reason, and there is no royal law. Kuan Nu was smoked by the greasy smell in the drunkard’s
mouth, and subconsciously threw his head back, needless to say, this person must have eaten a meal of wine and meat, no wonder there was a greasy smell on his body.
“It’s all right, please go.” Kuan Nu waved his hand.
The drunk man grinned and giggled and left.
As soon as the drunkard left, the servants came looking for him, and when they came, they whispered to Kuannu, “Shizi said that the man may not be holding meat meat, but perhaps a wine jug or a water bladder.”
Kuan Nu was shocked and said to the people, “Stop the drunkard.”
But when he saw the drunk man swinging and swinging to the vicinity of the embankment, as if he noticed that someone was chasing him, he simply stopped and fell to the river and vomited heavily, spitting out, and threw the wine jug in his hand into the river.
The bad people in the neighborhood had already been smoked half to death by the things vomited by the drunkard, and they did not pay attention to the wine bottles thrown and not the meat meat.
The wine jug fell into the water and made a banging sound, lin Chengyou rushed to see this scene, his right arm supported the embankment, turned over and jumped down, and drank in his mouth: “Buckle him down.”
The drunkard was coldly bound by people, and his drunken eyes widened and scolded: “What are you going to do?” Come on people, kill people!
Kuan Nu and the others looked at the river with trepidation, the wine pot was washed by the water, it would flow downstream, unless there was any particularly good method, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch it back, and the drunk seemed to have anticipated this, and the more fierce the trouble.
Who knew that it wasn’t long before Lin Chengyou came up from the bottom, all wet from below his chest, but he was holding a wine jug in his hand.
“Shizi.”
Lin Chengyou scoffed: “Do you think that if you throw something into the water, you will die without proof?” The public opened
the lid of the wine jug, poured out a few things inside, and sure enough, it was a charm and a lock soul bag, lin Chengyou, although he had prepared earlier, was still a little surprised, quietly looked at the drunk man, nodded, and said: “Okay, take away.” ***
Not
long after Teng Yuyi got up the next day, he heard that the murderer of Wu Ji had been caught.
It is said that the murderer lived in a medical worker named Huo Songlin in Yiningfang. After committing the crime, he first hid the precious magic weapon in the wine bottle, and then pretended to be a drunk man to prepare to escape, and successfully escaped the interrogation of many passes, only to be caught by Lin Chengyou who rushed to the scene.
Huo Songlin was once an apprentice of Wujimen, and when the imperial court investigated the prohibition of magic, this person luckily escaped the pursuit. After that, he hid his name in anonymity, lived by practicing medicine, although the days were cold, but he could also live, how did he know that last year his daughter suddenly had a strange disease, and seeing that he could not live, Huo Songlin remembered the old trick he had learned in those years, the magic of wuji gate shook the world, as long as the formation method put together the souls of several people, he could make a puppet with an empty soul shell to die on behalf of his daughter.
As for why Wu Ji and others were chosen as soul snatchers, they are also exquisite, Hu Jizhen was born on the same day of the same month as his daughter, Li Ying’er was similar to his daughter, and Wu Ji was a noble life. According to the requirements of this evil art, the more precious the soul of a person with a destiny, the more it can add blessings and longevity to its daughter. In order to choose a suitable noble girl, Huo Songlin specially squatted near the Xiangxiang Academy for a few days, and once the Wu family’s calf car passed in front of him, it happened that Wu Xuan lifted the window curtain, Huo Songlin saw that her face was plump, and it was expected that her life would be precious, and he had been eyeing Wu Zhen ever since.
In time for the Buddha Bathing Festival, he waited for the opportunity to start.
I heard that the officials of Dali Temple had found a lot of physical evidence in Huo Songlin’s home overnight, and the owner of the shop near Xiangxiang Academy was ordered to go to the prison to see it and also testified that Huo Songlin had walked around the neighborhood a few days ago.
Huo Songlin’s daughter was indeed seriously ill in bed, and there were indeed traces of practice in the house before, plus Huo Songlin began to prepare for this matter a few months ago, because there was a lot of physical and human evidence left, and the days and hours were right, and it was absolutely impossible to temporarily falsify.
When the Wu family got the news, they were the precious daughter who had grown up in the palm of their hands and was actually murdered by such a scoundrel. The Wu family sent their daughter to qingyun temple overnight, but the Qingxuzi Daoist could not help, Hu Jizhen and Li Ying’er were taking souls for more than seven days, and Wu Ji was the soul that was thrown into the water with the wine pot, and the river rushed to the spiritual root, that is, the immortals could not do anything.
Wu Zhongcheng was now furious and attacking, Lady Wu simply fell ill, Wu Yuanluo and Wu Qi were full of grief and anger, and the entire Martial Family was in chaos.
When the fellows talked about this matter, in addition to feeling sorry for Wu Zhen, their words were full of admiration for Lin Chengyou’s ability to investigate the case.
Teng Yuyi listened for half a moment, never heard Lu Zhaoan’s name, and secretly thought, no, the three cases Lu Zhaoan was obviously present, but the charges all fell on the head of that Huo Songlin?
However, with Lin Chengyou’s ability, he would never catch the wrong person, and since Lu Zhaoan had not yet entered the army, what virtue could he let someone like Huo Songlin cover his guilt? What a coincidence.
All day, the talk of the same window is this matter, every time I talk about Wu Ji, there will always be tears and sighs from the same window.
After two days, Wu Qi was sent back by the Wu family, and heard that she said that she would not come back to school again, but Wu Zhongcheng said that the quota of the academy was designated by the empress, and not returning to school was tantamount to disobeying the empress’s will, and she made trouble at home for a few days, but was personally escorted by Lady Wu.
After this incident, the academy was more strictly managed than before, and the students were no longer allowed to travel privately in groups, and everything sent to the academy had to be inspected and checked by several female officials.
Every night when Lady Jane came to inspect, Teng Yuyi would look at the things in The hands of Lady Jane, but since the first time, Lady Jane had brought letters and snacks again, and wanted to come to Lin Chengyou to be busy investigating the case, and the Absolute Saint and Renzhi could not pass on the words to the academy.
Teng Yuyi pondered, even if she asked about the progress of the case, Lin Chengyou might not pay attention to it.Therefore, every time Lady Jane asked her “how”, Teng Yuyi replied: “Okay.” After
two more days, seeing that it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, the atmosphere of the academy was finally slightly relaxed, and when the same window occasionally gathered together to chat, they no longer blindly frowned.
After the afternoon class, the same window will be in a piece to discuss the matter of tomorrow’s festival, the other day was too tight, chatting and chatting to feel happy, some people took out their own long life to show, some people said to take out the rice dumplings sent from home for everyone to eat, gradually the atmosphere became more and more active, the same window people could not sit still, simply went to the garden to play.
The garden is located in the northeast corner of the academy, far from the self-pastoral courtyard where the students live, this play will be played until the evening, no one will return to the house, until the female official comes to inspect, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan are reluctant to say goodbye to the same window.
Back in the room, Du Tinglan took the long life wisp in Teng Yuyi’s hand and looked at it: “You also made up too fast, five or six at once, this line is a bit rough, tomorrow here will have to be dismantled and re-compiled, so many long life strands, who will you give it to?”
Teng Yuyi yawned, she hadn’t thought about it yet, but this was something she had made up by herself, and it had to be a relative or friend to send it.
She snatched the rough long life strand and rested her head on Du Tinglan’s shoulder: “Sister, I am sleepy. Du Tinglan looked
at the night leak: “It’s not early, freshen up and go to sleep.” Saying that he let the red slave and Bi Luo behind him go to fetch water, he pulled Teng Yuyi into the East Wing.
Teng Yuyi had to put a hundred flowers in the opposite house every night, so since entering the academy, he had slept next to Sister A, and Du Tinglan was just about to speak, when Teng Yuyi suddenly pulled Du Tinglan along: “Wait.
Du Tinglan was stunned: “What’s wrong?”
Teng Yuyi stared dead at a certain place in front of him: “Gone.” “What’s
missing?”
Teng Yuyi’s voice was a little cold: “The strand of hair I was holding in the room is gone.” Du Tinglan’s
heart seemed to have blown through a fierce wind, since breaking into the academy, her sister not only carefully set up the organs for the house, but also made some movements on her side, but because the focus was on that room, this side often only tied a hair in the room.
The doors and windows are closed, and the strands of hair aren’t going to blow away, so it’s —
“Somebody’s been here.” Teng Yuyi didn’t dare to move, this was not right, the person’s target was obviously her, why did she sneak into Sister A’s room.
Bi Luo and Hong Nu were too frightened to move, and said hesitantly, “Could that thief have run into the wrong house?”
Teng Yuyi pulled Du Tinglan back a few steps cautiously, turned around, slowly moved to the opposite room, and vigilantly pushed open the door to see that the hair at the window and the side of the bed was intact.
Several people were stunned.
Teng Yuyi quietly looked at the organ in his room, no one had ever come, this person was coming for Sister A.
But why?
Sister Ah hadn’t done anything eye-catching in recent days, and now that the academy had stepped up its guard, this thief couldn’t have come in from outside, only the thief inside.
“Mother, what now?” The red slave clutched Du Tinglan’s arm tightly.
Du Tinglan tried to calm himself down as much as possible, and quickly pulled his sister behind him: “Don’t be afraid, Sister Ah immediately went to inform the dean, just say that there is a thief in the room, and ask her to be the master of the old man’s home.”
“No.” Teng Yuyi, “The dean checked, the whole academy knows, before you understand the purpose of the person, you must not go around, you stay here do not move, remember not to move anything in the room.”
Du Tinglan hurriedly grabbed his sister’s hand: “What are you going to do?” “I went
to Lady Jane and asked her to send a letter to Lin Chengyou.”
“So late?” Du Tinglan was astonished, at this hour Lin Chengyou could never rush over, and his sister did not let the dean inform, should he be afraid all night.
Teng Yuyi didn’t have a bottom in her heart, but this was what she and Lin Chengyou agreed to, and this was the safest way she could think of at the moment, after all, Lin Chengyou knew how to catch the thief, and she couldn’t wait until the thief appeared.
“It’s always right to try, I’ll come when I go.”
Returning from The Jane’s Office, the four master and servant sat motionless in the middle of the living room.
Bi Luo and HongNu did not dare to come out, while Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were afraid of destroying the clues left by the man.
Teng Yu wanted to go, but he couldn’t figure out why the man suddenly took aim at Sister A.
“Sister, you are the most.”
