Chapter 295 Squatting and watching
…
The crescent moon quietly climbed up the clouds, the bright and cold moonlight scattered on the ground like a white gauze skirt, and the soft night wind blew through the treetops, and the constant friction between the leaves made a rustling sound. (
Every time I write a scene, my words fail to convey the meaning...)
The grass on the side was gently opened by someone, revealing an eye staring at one place intently.
In front of his sight, there was a house standing dimly in the night. There were only two lanterns hanging at the door of the whole house, and the candlelight inside began to sway with the breeze.
Rustling...
While he was concentrating on watching, rustling movement came from the grass behind him. From a height, he could see someone in the grass crawling towards him.
"Qiu Sheng! How are you? Are you here?"
The person who spoke was none other than Wen Cai. He was wearing a straw hat and carefully approached Qiu Sheng and asked.
"Shh, it's not here yet, keep your voice down!"
Qiu Sheng turned around and pointed his finger at his mouth to tell Wen Cai to lower his voice, then turned back and stared.
"Hey, do you think Master made a mistake in his calculation? We have been here for three days. What's the matter? There are a lot of mosquitoes and they are almost full."
Compared to Qiu Sheng's caution, Wen Cai seemed to be doing nothing, and from time to time he would reach out and pat his body.
"Be calm. If the ghost is scared away by you, you can catch it yourself."
Qiu Sheng turned around and looked at Wen Cai with a helpless expression. He made some noise from time to time, which made it impossible for him to keep an eye on him. Besides, if he was noticed, wouldn't it be in vain if the ghost escaped?
"I don't want to either. Who knew there were so many mosquitoes in this damn place...pop!"
Hearing Qiu Sheng's words, Wencai suddenly had a grimace on his face. The mosquitoes in the place they were looking for didn't know what they ate to grow up. They were so fierce that they were so fierce that Wencai was bitten again while he was talking.
"I'm really convinced by you. You told me that I can be alone. I insisted on coming over to join in the fun."
"Hey, take this and use it sparingly, it's very expensive!"
I saw Qiu Sheng put his hand into his arms and fumbled for a few times, and then handed over a small bottle. Wen Caijie took it and curiously opened it and smelled it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You are so unkind and you still hide this trick. No wonder no mosquitoes have bitten you for so long!"
While Wen Cai was complaining about Qiu Sheng hiding all the good things, he couldn't wait to turn the bottle over, dip some in his hand, and then apply it on the exposed skin of his body.
"Hey, hey, save your money. This is the only bottle Tingting brought back from the provincial capital."
"Oh!!! It turns out that it was given by Tingting...I'll pour it, I'll pour it, I'll pour it..."
Qiu Sheng didn't say anything, but Wen Cai heard that it was Tingting who brought it back from the provincial capital. He couldn't help but speed up the movements of his hands. Qiu Sheng was offended and he didn't care about watching. He quickly stretched out his hand to grab it. "You two are here in the grass."
I have been focusing on offense and defense, and have forgotten about the main business.
Why are the two of them following here?
This starts with a murder case three days ago.
There was a murder case in my town three days ago. The deceased died in a strange manner. It looked like it was not a normal death, so people from the security team went to invite Uncle Jiu and others.
When Uncle Jiu and others arrived at the scene, they saw that all the water in the body had evaporated, and it was even drier than the bacon hung outside to dry.
After questioning, we learned that the deceased was a middle-aged man, a single man, living a life where one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry.
We originally made an appointment to rub hand cards with a friend, but the friend came to the door without waiting for someone, and then found him dead at home, so he went to the security team to report the crime.
If Li Mu were still in Renjia Town, he would have discovered that the dead man was Liao Zhigang, whom Li Mu had helped before!
"Master, all the energy in this man's body has been sucked away. It's the work of evil spirits."
After Qiu Sheng looked around the corpse, he couldn't help but said to Uncle Jiu with a solemn expression.
"Can you tell it's something evil?"
"Well…"
"Well... go and find out if this person has been anywhere before, or if there was anything unusual!"
Uncle Jiu was not surprised by this. After thinking for a moment, he asked them to find the left leader and the deceased's relatives and friends to inquire about the news. Although the remaining breath at the scene was very weak, he still noticed it as soon as he entered the door.
But Qiu Sheng's cultivation level was now up to par, so Uncle Jiu wanted to test him and asked him to go up and check.
However, the two of them ran back quickly not long after they left.
"Why are you running so fast? The dog chased you away?"
Uncle Jiu looked at them suspiciously as they left, as if he had been chased away by a dog.
"No, Master, I heard about it!"
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng summarized the information they had gathered and told it to Uncle Jiu. They were also lucky. As soon as they went out, they met the leader who liked to join in the fun, and they understood the situation clearly in a few words.
"Say what it is quickly!"
Seeing that the two of them had figured out the matter so quickly, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Master, please take a guess!"
"I guess you're big enough, so if you fart, hurry up!"
Wen Cai came over to him in a mean manner, but Uncle Jiu glared at him and tried to raise his hand to hit him. He was so frightened that he quickly ran behind Qiu Sheng.
"Master, this person is the person A Mu saved before..."
Having learned from the past, Qiu Sheng did not hold back and explained the situation to Uncle Jiu straightforwardly.
In the eyes of the leader, this person has been quite law-abiding recently. Apart from occasionally inviting a few friends to come over to his house for drinks, he rarely goes out at night, so there is no unusual behavior.
But he was not like this before. He often drank outside until midnight before coming back drunk. Later, I don’t know what happened, but he became particularly unlucky for a while. Dog bites when he went out were minor.
His whole body was covered in bruises, and later I heard that he got better after he found a master to change his luck.
Uncle Jiu and the others also knew about Li Mu because he helped people solve the life-buying money matter. However, they didn't know much about who the person who received the life-buying money was. It wasn't until Qiu Sheng heard the deceased's estate talk about these things that he realized
This person is the person Li Mu helped before.
After listening to Qiu Sheng's explanation of the whole story, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but come to the mummy and frown at the corpse to examine it carefully.
Because I didn't understand the situation before, even if I saw that this person was killed by evil spirits, it was difficult to tell what was behind it. But now that we have these clues, things look a little different.
But before that, Li Mu had already taken the cause and effect of the life-buying money on himself. Why would this person be killed by the life-buying ghost? Uncle Jiu thought silently in his heart.
The reason why Qiu Sheng and the others came to squat in this place was because Uncle Jiu took a trace of the remaining breath from the corpse to deduce the location.
Since Qiu Sheng's breakthrough, he has not had much opportunity to show off his talents, so after Uncle Jiu deduced the place of his birth, he volunteered to stay there, and that's how he got that admiration just now.
"Shh! Stop making noise! There's something moving!"
