Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Chapter 13 Water ghost kills people

"How did you die specifically? Tell me about the process."

Ma Chenggong took a look inside the coffin, and then a spiritual light appeared in his eyes. He opened his 'Dharma Eyes' and began to look around: "It is indeed dark and gloomy here. Do you know the origin and whereabouts of that evil ghost? It's impossible. Harming people for no reason.”

The arrester in black still told everything he knew: "Last night at midnight, Lin Yuanwai suddenly shouted that there was a ghost in the room, his voice was panic. Then when his family members arrived, Lin Yuanwai had already dug his hands. Throat, suffocated to death. Lin Yang encountered a ghost when he was going to the toilet at the seventh quarter of Yinshi. He died in the same way as his father. At that time, many people here saw the thing. It was dressed in red, with disheveled hair, and there were traces of water at its feet. As for it The origin——"

The black-clothed catcher glanced at the family members of the deceased: "It is said that Zhang, the concubine outside the Lin family, drowned and died after his adultery was exposed two months ago. My colleague, the catcher Wang who was handling the case at the time, believed that this was the case. There may be some ulterior motives, but Lin Yuanwai spent a lot of money in the Yamen, so the matter will be settled."

Li Xuan was listening and couldn't help but look slightly moved.

He knew that the status of women in this era was very low, and if a so-called concubine was not a 'good concubine' recognized by the government, it was actually equivalent to a slave and did not have many personal rights.

For some wealthy local families, as long as there is a reasonable reason, even if they directly kill their concubines, the officials will generally not interfere.

What's more, the Lin family's side room drowned and died after her adultery was exposed, so no one would care about her life or death.

"No grievance! No grievance!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in mourning clothes suddenly rushed over and knelt in front of Ma Chenggong: "Sir! My father treated Mr. Zhang with the utmost love and kindness. Even after the adultery was exposed, There was no harsh criticism. Not to mention blaming, even the family law was useless. According to the current rules, this was a pig cage! After the bitch woman died, her father even bought her a piece of excellent Feng Shui land. , give her a generous burial. In short, there is absolutely no place in my family that I can’t tolerate that bitch!”

He cried bitterly, his expression extremely sad and angry: "Zhang has always been narrow-minded, irritable and irritable. This is a well-known thing. This time it was her own fault that led to a dead end, but now she has turned against us, father and son." , what kind of truth is this? Please take action to get rid of this evil spirit and avenge my father and second brother!"

Only halfway through what this man said, the group of Lin clan members next to him also started to howl loudly.

"Shut up!" Ma Chenggong seemed a little annoyed, and he slashed the table in front of him with a sharp knife. The dull sound of metal and wood clashing suddenly choked the wails that filled the courtyard.

When the surrounding area was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, Ma Chenggong turned his side and looked at the Taoist priest on the altar.

"Taoist priest over there, what do you think?"

"Come back to Lord Captain, I have no opinion." The Taoist raised his eyebrows and said, "The Lin family invited me here to calm the souls and save them. Everything else has nothing to do with me. If you need to eliminate demons and subjugate them, you must pay more."

"Who asked you this?" Ma Chenggong snorted dissatisfiedly: "You really have the same virtues as your master, but he has got into the eyes of money."

At this time, Li Xuan also walked up to him, looked into the two coffins, and asked curiously: "Do you think what they said is untrue?"

"I've found its location, but there's one thing that makes me wonder."

Ma Chenggong's eyes filled with spiritual power were focused on the well in the courtyard. He crossed his arms and looked confused: "There is nothing unreasonable about the case. Death by suffocation is also a characteristic of water ghosts. But I see that the water ghost’s soul power has just reached the third floor, so how can he kill two people in a row in one night?”

Li Xuan nodded slightly. He knew that it would be difficult for all evil spirits and ghosts to cause harm to a living person with strong blood before entering the fourth floor.

At this moment, his eyes moved slightly: "Captain Li, didn't you ask the couple to conduct an autopsy before?"

Zhuque Hall and Yingtianfu Yamen have been cooperating all year round, so they and the police officers in their jurisdiction know each other. Although Li Xuan's original body fished all day and dried nets for half a month, he still recognized many heads. He knew that the black-clothed head catcher was named Li Quan, and he was in charge of most of the street south of Ertou Bridge, and half of them were related to Li Xuan. Their jurisdictions overlap.

"No." Li was stunned for a moment: "I mentioned it, but the family members didn't agree. They didn't want to bother. And it's not necessary, right? Many people saw it at the time. It was indeed caused by evil spirits, and they all died of suffocation. "

"But I smell a bit of almonds." Li Xuan pointed to the two corpses: "They may have seen evil spirits, but the two people in the coffins died of poison."

Ma Chenggong's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the two corpses again: "Are you sure about the apology? What kind of poison was it?"

"Cyanosis all over the body, bright red spots on the body, and a slight smell of almonds indicate cyanide poisoning."

Li Xuan saw doubts on the faces of Ma Chenggong and everyone else, and immediately changed his words: "It's bitter almond! This poison must be extracted from bitter almond. Before death, he will usually be restless, inexplicable fear, convulsed all over the body, and have difficulty breathing. , or even stop it directly. If the dose is larger, the time of death after poisoning can be within thirty seconds. If his body can be dissected, you can see that his muscles and blood are bright red, which is different from ordinary deceased people."

As soon as Li Xuan said this, the faces of the Lin clan members suddenly changed. Everyone looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

"Poisoned? Why did he die of poisoning?" The middle-aged man in mourning clothes had a look of disbelief on his face: "At that time, in full view of everyone——"

"Let Zuo do an autopsy and the truth will be revealed."

Li Xuan glanced meaningfully at the family members next to him: "Your second brother should have family members, right? Brother Lin died strangely, and was definitely not caused by a ghost. I guess the murderer probably didn't have time to deal with the evidence. UU看书www.uukanshu.net But if the delay is too long, it may not be possible to find out.”

When Li Catou heard this, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold and stern as he looked at the middle-aged man in filial piety. The latter's face began to turn pale, and a little cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"It turns out it was poisoning, so that makes sense!"

Ma Chenggong laughed, and then took off the two spears from behind: "But the duty of this envoy is to kill demons! Sorry, watch the south side along the river, and be sure not to let it escape into the water."

He glanced at the young Taoist again and threatened: "The door is yours. If you dare to let it go, believe it or not, I will have your Taoist certificate collected."

Li Xuan suddenly became excited again, wondering if he could finally see a ghost? He immediately walked to the south courtyard wall, then took out the demon mirror and hung it high on the courtyard wall. Then he took out two more talismans, one on the left and one on the right, and stuck them on his arms.

His current level of martial arts is too low, and without external help, he cannot see the attributes of the ghost in his normal state. Those two talismans are the 'Taixiao Wind and Thunder Talisman', which allows him to use the power of wind and thunder when he takes action, greatly increasing his power.

Money ability - this should be another golden finger after his time travel.

Li Xuan dared to face Situ Zhong before because of the large number of talismans in his sleeve pockets. At that time, it was all thanks to a powerful Vajra Talisman that he could withstand Situ Zhong's punch. Otherwise, his fate would have been much worse than that of Zhang Taishan.

Ma Chenggong saw it and nodded with satisfaction.

He still trusts Li Xuan's fighting ability. Although this guy's cultivation is unbearable, but because he comes from a noble family, has a wealthy family, and carries all the magic weapons and talismans, they are all excellent choices. Plus, he The actual combat effectiveness of the secret skills passed down from the family will not be lower than that of the martial arts practitioners in Sanzhonglou, and may even be better than it.
