Chapter four hundred and forty-one, the suspected case
"Soul-possessed?"
"This is just my guess," Lu Feng thought thoughtfully: "The art of absorbing souls has extremely high requirements for the caster, and the soul strength needs to reach a certain level. Just like just now, I can only use it when you are unprepared.
, and all I ask you to do are trivial things. If you are deliberately wary, or if you are asked to do something that you resist in your heart, such as killing Wang Wei, I am afraid that the soul-obsessing technique will break down on its own."
Wang Wei understood something and said: "What you are saying is that if Su Qing'er is really possessed by someone, then it is most likely that someone close to her did it, so that she would not be defensive?"
"That's right," Lu Feng said, "I'll leave this to you. Send someone to inquire carefully and find out if there is anyone around Su Qing'er who has practiced the secret art of the soul."
Xing Qi interrupted: "When it comes to control, in addition to soul-stirring techniques, I heard that there are many special drugs that can also achieve this, and they are relatively easy to obtain. Do you need to follow up on this aspect?"
Lu Feng nodded: "I asked Su Qing'er and she didn't take anything before the incident, and she didn't notice anything unusual. However, just in case, you should follow up and investigate this."
Wang Wei finally asked: "Is there any follow-up investigation that needs to be carried out? In the past few days, Shan Wu has recruited several smart guys and has solved the problem of manpower shortage."
"It's hard to say whether Su Qing'er is being controlled by others, so let's leave it at that."
Lu Feng suddenly remembered that some special formations could achieve this goal, but the formations would have residue. He had checked on site and found no traces of the formations, so he subconsciously ruled this out.
…
In the afternoon, Lu Feng came to Ye Yutang.
Under the management of Tie Puppet, everyone in Ye Yu Hall has begun to behave in a standardized manner, and the action arrangements are being carried out in an orderly manner.
This time, Chi Mei, Gui Ling, and Bai Li are all here, but Tie Puppet, Yeyou Blade, Phantom Hand Ghost Sword, and Gui Xiao have gone out to perform the mission instead. It can be considered that the distribution of men and women is even.
In the dark room, Bai Li was sitting cross-legged practicing, while Chi Mei and Gui Ling were talking softly to the side. When Lu Feng walked in, he happened to hear Gui Ling talking about going back to Baihua Garden to prepare for the afternoon performance.
"Why do I have to leave as soon as I come?" Lu Feng walked into the darkroom with a smile.
"Hall Master~" Chi Mei and Gui Ling said in unison. Bai Li also woke up from training.
Lu Feng glanced at the bed in the corner, "Where did Ye Youren go? Has his injury healed?"
A few days ago, when Lu Feng came, Ye Youyan was still bedridden, so he probably didn't recover so quickly.
Gui Ling explained: "It has improved a lot. Although it is not suitable for my companions to take action, I think basic tracking and lurking will be fine. Originally, Tie Puppet wanted him to rest for a while, but he insisted on acting together."
Chi Mei smiled sweetly and joked: "I guess he is embarrassed to live under the same roof with three of us girls. Even though he is not young, his temperament is as shy as Xiao Huan's."
Lu Feng was also very happy and said: "Isn't he always walking around day and night? How can he do this?"
Gui Ling said: "He held a grudge against the man who hurt him in the City Lord's Mansion, so he rented a guest room in a street restaurant that could see the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, and hid and watched secretly."
Lu Feng knew the location of the restaurant facing the street. Although he could only see the gate of the City Lord's Mansion from there, it was only used to monitor the entry and exit of the City Lord's Mansion, but it was an excellent lurking place.
Before making this decision, I think Night Travel must have conducted a thoughtful on-site investigation.
Bai Li then opened his mouth and said, "Do you have any new arrangements for the hall master to come today?"
Lu Feng nodded and asked, "Have you heard about Su Qing'er killing Wang Cuihua yesterday? Do you have any clues?"
Bai Li said: "The Su Mansion is monitored by the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword. When Su Qing'er left the mansion yesterday, he kept watching in the dark."
"Where is he now?" Lu Feng asked.
Gui Ling stood up and said, "I think he should be near Su Mansion. It's getting late. I need to rush back to Baihua Garden to avoid suspicion. I'll call him when I pass by Su Mansion later."
Half an hour later, the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword appeared in Ye Yu Hall.
"Hall Master, are you looking for me?" Phantom Hand Ghost Sword said respectfully.
Lu Feng looked at this quiet and somewhat reserved little boy and said softly: "Recall carefully, did you notice anything unusual when you followed Su Qing'er yesterday?"
The Phantom Hand Ghost Sword thought for a while, raised his head, bit his fingertips and thought: "Yesterday... I saw Su Qing'er leaving the Su Mansion alone. I thought she was rushing back to the spiritual prison. I wanted to follow her for a while and then continue to monitor her.
Su Mansion, however, realized that the direction she was going was not the Spiritual Prison, so out of curiosity, I followed her."
Lu Feng interrupted: "Did she look abnormal along the way? Was she under someone's control?"
Phantom Hand Ghost Sword raised her head and glanced at the ceiling, and said thoughtfully: "It seems quite normal, and she looks quite relaxed and happy. When passing through the countryside, she saw a few clusters of wild flowers, and she leaned over to pick some, and knitted them while walking.
It's a garland, it shouldn't look like it's under someone's control."
Lu Feng thought for a while and then motioned for the Phantom Hand and Ghost Sword to continue.
"I followed her all the way and found that she went to a thatched hut. She lingered outside the house for a while, as if hesitating about something. It was not until Wang Cuihua opened the bamboo window in the thatched hut that she slowly approached."
The Phantom Hand and Ghost Sword gestured with his hands while saying: "I didn't dare to follow too close, so I had to watch from a distance. When Su Qing'er pushed the door open and entered, I saw Wang Cuihua sitting quietly on the bed through the window.
Her expression seemed a little dazed, and even when Su Qing'er stepped into the room, she didn't react much."
"I originally thought that Wang Cuihua's expression was calm because they were familiar with each other and had already made an appointment. But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Wang Cuihua at that time was more like her acupuncture points."
Lu Feng listened carefully and compared what Su Qing'er said before in his mind. He didn't find any difference, but it was a little strange that both of them mentioned seeing the scene inside the house through the bamboo window.
When Lu Feng inspected the scene, the bamboo windows in the house were clearly closed. When he asked Wang Wei, he said that it was like this when they arrived, and no one had closed the windows.
"Go on," Lu Feng signaled.
Phantom Hand Ghost Sword continued: "Su Qing'er closed the door after entering the house. From outside the house, I could only see the area where Wang Cuihua was sitting through the window. Although I did not see the face of the murderer with my own eyes,
I sensed carefully that there must have been only two people in the house, Su Qing'er and Wang Cuihua."
Lu Feng frowned. The words of the Phantom Hand and Ghost Sword overturned his previous speculation. Su Qing'er should not have
If she had been possessed by someone, at least she was still conscious before she stepped into the bamboo house. And in a strange environment like her room, Su Qing'er must have been a little wary, and it would not be easy to succeed if she wanted to possess her.
"Since it's not soul-stirring, is it possible that Su Qing'er really killed Wang Cuihua on purpose?" Lu Feng shook his head and denied the thought that just emerged. It was not that he trusted Su Qing'er, but that in his opinion, Su Qing'er still had
You are not so stupid as to use such obvious means to kill people.
Currently, the only witness is Phantom Hand Ghost Sword, but unfortunately he did not see clearly what was going on inside the house.
Lu Feng asked carefully: "Before the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Prison Mansion arrived, was there any movement in the house?"
"No," Phantom Hand Ghost Sword shook his head and said, "It would take about half a stick of incense for Su Qing'er to go in. People from the City Lord's Mansion rushed over. During this period, except for a weak spiritual energy fluctuation, there was no other
abnormal."
Lu Feng said in surprise: "What is extremely weak spiritual energy fluctuation? Please explain it clearly."
The Phantom Hand Ghost Sword took a step forward, stood in front of Lu Feng, waved his sleeves, and slowly moved his right hand from Lu Feng's left side to the right side. During this period, a light green dagger flickered and appeared, like a magic trick. Lu Feng's carelessness
I didn't even see clearly where he took the dagger from and where he put it back.
"It's almost like this," the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword returned to its original position.
Lu Feng sensed that the aura that stood out when the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword took out the dagger and put it away was indeed very small and could easily be ignored. And the presence of such aura in the bamboo house did not mean anything.
The Phantom Hand Ghost Sword looked at Lu Feng's thoughtful look, thought for a moment and said, "There was only so much movement in the room before the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Prison Mansion arrived, but after the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Prison Mansion arrived, I felt a sudden
There was a strange spiritual power fluctuation, and the bamboo windows on both sides of the bamboo house were suddenly closed after the spiritual power fluctuation. It must have been caused by Su Qing'er's murder."
"I was lurking in the distance and saw people from the City Lord's Mansion breaking in after hearing the noise. Then someone started shouting, constantly shouting that Su Qing'er had killed someone."
Baili and Chimei had been listening quietly, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Lu Feng's thoughts.
After the Phantom Hand Ghost Sword finished speaking, Chi Mei finally couldn't help but said: "This is so strange. The people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Prison Mansion came by coincidence. Or is it that Su Qing'er deliberately chose them to come?
Only then did you move your hands?"
Bai Li also said: "If she was framed, then the people behind the scenes were so precise about the timing. They could actually control Su Qing'er to kill people without any trace in front of everyone?"
The Phantom Hand Ghost Sword said with some childishness: "I would say the murderer is Su Qing'er. So many people present saw it, and there was no third person in the room. Who else could be there besides her?"
Lu Feng sighed. His thoughts at the moment were in a mess. His preconceived notions made him try his best to prove Su Qing'er's innocence, but he couldn't find any clues.
There is even no one to suspect at the moment. If this continues, I am afraid that in the end, I will have to ask the higher-ups of the spiritual prison to use the soul-searching technique on Su Qing'er to exonerate her.
But that would undoubtedly be a great harm to her soul.
…
After leaving Ye Yutang, Lu Feng was walking back and heard people talking about the Su Mansion in the streets and alleys. From Su Mo killing Zhang A Niu to Su Qing'er killing Wang Cuihua, in just a short period of time, Su Mansion's affairs
