Xiong San was too nervous and could not recite clearly, but I could still tell that he was reciting the Purification Mantra. The Purification Mantra is a low-level spell used to prevent being possessed by ghosts. It seems that
This guy thinks Wu Chenzi is an ordinary ghost, but he doesn't know that this low-level spell has no effect on Wu Chenzi.
I smiled and said to Ma Yuanjing: "Senior Wuchenzi's cultivation is close to becoming a demon. Let alone ordinary ghosts, even if the real demons from hell come, we have to avoid him. With him here
, Uncle Ma, do you think it is still necessary for me to practice the ghost arts in the Yin Book?"
Ma Yuanjing stared at Wuchenzi for a long time, then stammered and asked: "Shi Yu, you... how can you... be able to associate with ghosts?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wuchenzi said coldly: "Although I am a ghost, I have never done anything harmful to nature! How can you compare Idao with ghosts who do all kinds of evil!"
Ma Yuanjing obviously didn't expect Wuchenzi to be able to speak. He was even more shocked. He opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a moment.
I saw that he seemed to be completely shocked by Wuchenzi, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you should believe what I say now. I can assure you that I want the half volume of "Uncle Ma" from you.
"Yin Yang Mystic Art" is definitely not for practicing the art of ghosts, it is really to find the whereabouts of that artifact."
Ma Yuanjing was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, looked at me and said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age. You are really formidable."
"Uncle Ma, thank you! Now please take out the half volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"."
Unexpectedly, Ma Yuanjing waved his hand and said: "How could I carry such an important thing with me? It is naturally hidden in a safe place." At this point, he changed the subject: "I can put it on my body."
I leave the book to you, but you have to agree to one condition!"
I had expected that he would make a request, so I nodded: "Tell me about it!"
Ma Yuanjing composed himself and said slowly: "After you find the artifact, you must return the copper bell to me!"
I originally thought that Ma Yuanjing would ask to go with him, and I had even thought about how to refuse him, but I didn't expect that he would just make such a small request. And this request can be said to be reasonable, because after all, Tongling is
What the master gave him is what belongs to him, and he should naturally return it after using it.
I calmed down and hurriedly assured him: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, I will definitely return the jade to Zhao intact when the time comes!"
"Okay! I'll take my leave today. I'll come back to visit you after picking up the half volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"!" After Ma Yuanjing finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Wen Qingshan and me, and then led Xiong San away.
.
After Ma Yuanjing left, I remembered that I didn't even leave his phone number and I didn't know where to find him. Moreover, what if he didn't want to hand over the Yin Book of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu"?
Come on, I just deliberately made an excuse today, so now that he has just walked away, there is nothing I can do against him.
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but regret a little. I should have let Wuchenzi follow him without hesitation. However, now that the matter has come to this, I can only wait patiently.
Almost seven or eight days had passed, and Ma Yuanjing did not come back to me with the half volume of "Yin Yang Xuan Shu". Just when I thought I had been deceived by him, Luo Jian, the captain of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade, suddenly brought Liu Qi with him.
A criminal police officer came to the door.
Luo Jian told Wen Qingshan and I that there was a murder case that required us to cooperate in the investigation. At first, I thought that the murder case was related to ghosts, so I invited us to go and have a look. Unexpectedly, Luo Jian actually said that Wen Qingshan and I were
The suspect in this murder case!
This shocked both of us. Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked what was going on, but Luo Jian did not answer and just asked us to go back to the police station with them first.
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Wen Qingshan and I have never killed anyone, so we are naturally not afraid of investigations, so we got into the police car and followed them to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
I have met several criminal policemen who came with Luo Jian before, and they all recognized Wen Qingshan and me, so they were quite polite to us and did not put handcuffs on us. They also comforted us from time to time, saying
As long as it has not been done before, there is no need to worry, they will definitely investigate it.
However, when we arrived at the police station, it was not just a few of them who interrogated us, but several criminal police officers. Wen Qingshan and I were still separated and interrogated separately.
I didn’t recognize any of the criminal police officers who interrogated me. They all had stern faces and stern tone of voice. They were full of doubts about every word I said, as if they had already determined that I was the murderer.
Similar.
This made me feel very unhappy, but the other party was the police after all, and I knew that there was no benefit in tit-for-tat with them, so I could only endure it.
I asked them where the murder occurred and who the deceased was. Without saying anything, they took out a photo from a thick stack of documents and handed it to me.
When I saw the person in the photo, I couldn't help but be shocked. The person in the photo was none other than my great uncle - Ma Yuanjing!
However, in the photo, Ma Yuanjing's eyes were closed, his mouth was slightly open, and there was a wound about three or four inches long on his face. He seemed to be lying flat on the floor. I stared at the photo for a while.
It suddenly dawned on me that the murder case mentioned by the police was Ma Yuanjing. He was already dead. As for the cause of death, there was no way of knowing.
The police asked me: "Do you recognize the person in the photo?"
I nodded and replied: "The one in the photo is my master Bo Ma Yuanjing. I have never seen him before, and I met him for the first time a few days ago."
As soon as I finished speaking, a sturdy young detective who looked to be in his twenties asked: "I heard that you and the deceased had a dispute. You are more honest. Is it because of personal grudges that you took action?"
Kill him?"
When I heard this, I immediately argued: "I don't have any personal grudges with him! The grudges between him and my uncle are a matter of the previous generation, so it's not my turn to intervene! What's more, I still have something to ask for.
How could he kill him?"
"You didn't kill him, so tell me how he died!" the young detective asked. This guy obviously asked this deliberately, and the purpose was just to disturb my thoughts. I replied to him angrily: "
How do I know? Could it be that because you couldn't solve the case, you just found me and Boss Wen as scapegoats?"
The young detective smiled coldly: "You still want to make excuses! According to our investigation, the deceased went to Guyuan Pavilion eight days ago, and there was a fight between you two."
His words shocked me. There were only a few of us present that day. How did the police know that there was a fight between us? Could it be that guy Huang Si who reported the case to the police!?
While I was thinking about it, an older detective slammed the table and shouted angrily: "You'd better confess honestly! You know the principle of leniency for confession and severity for resistance. If your accomplice confesses,
, then he can be punished leniently, and you have to deal with it sternly!"
Because I had never done it at all, I was not afraid of the police's threat. Instead, I was a little angry. I stood up and said sternly: "What do you want me to explain for something I haven't done!? That's right.
, I had some misunderstandings with Master Ma before, but we reconciled that day, and I still have something to ask of him. Now, I want to know how he died more than you do!"
When the young detective saw that I was not intimidated and actually dared to talk back, he immediately stood up, pointed at me, and shouted: "What are you doing standing up!? Sit down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. I turned around and saw that it was Luo Jian, and the person following Luo Jian was none other than Long Yi from the Dragon Shield Bureau.
When the three detectives who interrogated me saw Luo Jian, they immediately stood up and saluted him. The young detective opened his mouth and said: "Captain Luo, this kid is very tough-talking. I think..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Jian waved his hand and said, "Let him go!"
When the young detective heard this, his eyes widened immediately, with a look of disbelief on his face: "What!? Let him go? But didn't you catch him yourself?"
Luo Jian said: "That's right! He was originally suspected, but now the suspicion has been lifted." After saying this, Luo Jian pointed to Long Yi beside him and said: "This is Director Long of the National Security Bureau. He
Wen Qingshan and Mo Shiyu's alibi were provided." Because the Dragon Shield Bureau is a first-level confidentiality unit, Long Yi and others generally claim to be members of the National Security Bureau.
The young detective was a little confused: "Alibi? But isn't the time of death of the deceased not yet completely determined?"
Long Yi smiled slightly and said: "He is a key protection target of our National Security Bureau, so we know his whereabouts. I can tell you with certainty that he has nothing to do with this murder case."
After listening to what Long Yi said, the faces of several criminal police officers showed expressions of surprise. They probably never expected that I would be a key protection target of the National Security Bureau. In fact, I didn't expect it either. I have no idea what I am.
At that time, I became the protected target of Dragon Shield Bureau, and Long Yi actually said that they knew my whereabouts. Doesn't this mean that they are monitoring me 24 hours a day!?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Even if this kind of surveillance did not affect my life, I am afraid that no one wants to be stared at every day. I really want to ask Long Yi what is going on, but at the moment
My situation is obviously not the right time to argue with him about this matter. I'd better let him get me out of here first.
