Chapter 49 The Metaphysical Detective
Next, Gu Xu asked the servants of the Fan family and several guests who had the wedding banquet that night to ask questions one by one.
But these people also failed to give Gu Xu too much useful information.
According to their description, after Fan Zhou left the banquet on the night of his wedding, he seemed to have evaporated out of thin air in the yard, leaving no traces left.
"Somewhat is strange." Gu Xu reached out and held the hat, thinking silently.
If you don’t decide to encounter problems, use metaphysics.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out three copper coins he carried with him from his pocket and threw them three times in a row to obtain the "Zhen" hexagram.
According to the acquired Bagua direction map, "Zhen" is the eastern direction.
"Let's go to the east of the county town to look for it!" Gu Xu turned his head and said to the families of the victims around him.
Hearing this, the family members were stunned-
Are the officials of the Exorcist Division so casually solving cases these days? How can they throw a coin and find clues?
This makes people feel very unreliable!
However, because Gu Xu's identity was extraordinary, they did not dare to ask questions. They only dared to follow Gu Xu, leave the Fan's house, and walk towards the east.
…………
Next, every time Gu Xu walked to a fork in the road, he would take out copper coins and calculate the location under the suspicious eyes of others.
Before they knew it, they gradually left the bustling county center and came to the remote and cold suburbs.
It is sparsely populated here, only the endless wilderness and a few sparse houses can be seen.
At this moment, the mistress of the Qin family suddenly pointed ahead and shouted in surprise:
"Why did this place inexplicably have an extra house? I didn't see it when I came here a month ago!"
Gu Xu looked in the direction she pointed.
He saw that at the end of the road, there was indeed a two-story house.
The door of this house is facing the straight road, and there are many trees planted on both sides.
In Feng Shui, the gate is the air-supplying port of the house.
The gate is facing the road, which will cause the evil spirit to rush towards you, bringing bad luck and even bloody disasters.
This is considered to be a crime of "road clash", also known as "gun evil", which is an extremely dangerous pattern.
Of course, if the person living in this room is not a human being, it will be a different matter.
So Gu Xu boldly guessed that the ghosts who robbed Fan Zhou were probably hiding in this room.
"I go to that house to see it," Gu Xu told the people around him lightly, "You just stay here and don't walk around."
Mrs. Fan was worried, so she stepped forward and bowed to Gu Xu and said earnestly: "Sir, please let Cao Min go with you! I want to know if my son--"
"——I am here to come here and only responsible for solving the case," Gu Xu shook his head and interrupted her indifferently, "If there is really an evil ghost in it, it will not be able to control your life safety."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the house at the end of the road, and he ignored it.
Mrs. Fan looked at his back as she was leaving, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Before this, she once suspected whether Gu Xu, an overly young exorcist official, could solve this strange case.
But now, as an anxious mother, she only wants to pray for Gu Xu silently, hoping that he can clear the fog, see the truth, and get her son back as soon as possible...
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu arrived at the two-story house at the end of the road.
He reached out his hand and knocked on the door three times.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
"Who is knocking on the door?" The voice of a young man came from inside the house.
His words were mixed with gasps, as if he was doing vigorous exercise.
"It doesn't matter who I am," Gu Xu replied, "I'm just here to bring you a word."
"Taking a word?" The young man's voice sounded a little puzzled.
"Fan Zhou, have you had enough fun here?" Gu Xu showed a faint smile on his face, "Your mother called you home to get married."
"Bang!"
After a while, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The young man stood in the house with a frown, dressed in disheveled clothes and his face turned red. Not only did he not wear a belt, but he also only wore one shoe.
Obviously, he rushed over after hearing Gu Xu's voice.
This person is the protagonist of the case - Fan Zhou, who has been missing for half a month.
At this moment, Fan Zhou looked at the black "Seven Stars Clothes" that Gu Xu was wearing, feeling extremely puzzled.
In his impression, there were no such young officials in the Ju County Exorcist Division.
"Big...Master, you may have misunderstood," said Fan Zhou. "I married Miss Qin half a month ago. Now we live together and life is very happy."
Living with Miss Qin?
According to Qin's parents, hasn't Qin Xiangyun been in her room every day recently and sulking?
But why did another lady of the Qin family appear here?
Gu Xu smiled.
He looked at Fan Zhou's red face and felt that the case became more and more interesting.
"Is your wife...the name is Qin Xiangyun?"
"yes!"
At this moment, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly came from the upstairs of the house: "Mr., when will you drive away that annoying guest? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Madam, don't worry, I'll come over right away!" Fan Zhou immediately replied with a smile on his face.
Then he turned his head and said to Gu Xu who was standing outside the door at a very fast speed: "This Exorcist, it's too late now, so I'd better go back early! I won't give you it!"
Gu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I heard that Mr. Fan's wife is a famous beauty far and wide. I have always been very curious and want to meet her in person."
After saying that, he pushed Fan Zhou aside, stepped into the house, and walked towards the stairs.
Hearing his words, Fan Zhou suddenly stood there, and then a burst of anger surged in his heart: "Are all the officials in Daqi so bastards now? They actually expressed their interest in other people's wives openly? Could it be that they wanted to occupy their wife?
"The great great clan has become so decayed!"
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu saw Fan Zhou's "wife" on the stairs.
He must admit that this is one of the most beautiful women he has ever seen in his life.
The ice skin is hidden in jade bones, the collar of the shirt reveals the breasts; the willow eyebrows are covered with green and dark, and the bright eyes are shining with silver stars.
It is charming and charming.
No wonder Fan Zhou was immersed in the gentleness and refused to return home.
At the same time, Fan Zhou hurried over and pointed at Gu Xu and shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to touch my wife!"
But the woman seemed to have not seen her husband at all.
She smiled like a flower and looked at Gu Xu with an obsessive look, as if Gu Xu was her true lover.
Even though she just said "hateful guests"...
But the moment she saw Gu Xu, she had already left this sentence behind.
"Young Master, it's getting late now. Why don't you spend the night with me in the humble house?" She leaned into Gu Xu's ear and said softly in an ecstatic voice.
Gu Xu immediately took two steps back and kept a distance from her.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart: The evil spirit-torture body!
