"What's the name of this monster? Why isn't he in the inn?"
"Young people don't know his whereabouts." Fu Wenqing knew that he had committed a heinous crime and could hardly escape death. However, the Australians had promised to spare him the punishment of being cut to pieces, so the explanation was quite simple. "I only know that his name is Wu Zhiqi.
I come to the inn every day and ask someone to tell me what I want to do. I just follow my orders and only come in person when I want to cast a spell."
A simulation of Wu Zhiqi's appearance was made based on his dictation. However, Mu Min knew that the accuracy of the simulation was unreliable, and repeatedly asked him if he had other characteristics, but Fu Wen couldn't tell him anything. This witch
Zhi Qi is very mysterious. He usually comes to the inn at night, and he likes to use dim and unclear lights. When he speaks, he often pretends to be hoarse to hide his true voice. As for the other people arrested in the inn, Wu Zhi Qi’s
There is even less contact.
Although his contact was limited, Fu Wen probably knew that the wizard was under the protection of Gao Tianshi, and Gao Tianshi was probably responsible for his food and daily life - because he had heard Gao Tianshi mutter: Wu Zhiqi wasted money on food.
Daily life is very particular.
Apart from this, Fu Wen could not tell any useful information. Mu Min took him into custody. Then she called the naturalized police officer responsible for interrogating him.
"The interrogation of these people must continue, but there is no need to press too hard. Those with torture injuries must be treated in time, and the interrogation can be suspended for serious cases. Improve their food - no one can die."
This is not only to allow them to go to the execution ground themselves, but more importantly, Mu Min wants to take this opportunity to completely dig out the gangs engaged in flower shooting, harvesting and cutting in Guangdong and Guangxi. Most of these gangs have been passed down from generation to generation and have strong
They are closely related to each other by blood and geography. They are very closed. Mere strikes can only contain them, but cannot achieve the purpose of destruction. You must know that there are many people in this business: according to the confessions that have been obtained, they sail regularly every year to "do this."
There are more than a hundred "ships" for business. You can imagine how many women and children are brutally murdered every year.
After Su Wan's simulated head was delivered, Mu Min immediately asked a few retained yamen who were familiar with Wang Dayiao to come over and ask them to think about it. As a result, they all agreed that the plaster head "resembled" Wang Dayiao!
In this way, many clues that had been messed up in the past were connected at once. Wang Daniao's murder was directly related to the "Qupu" in his hand.
It is obvious that the master of "Shi Weng" had to resort to sorcery after repeatedly attacking the Senate with no results. And it was under this line of thinking that Wu Zhiqi, who had "great power", was
Invited. His background in Yunnan and Guizhou also explains the origin of the Zhu Ti silver ingot found at Widow Wang's house.
Mu Min speculated that the "Shi Weng" people might have used the money to buy the "Gou Tu" in Wang Dayiao's hands, and then killed Wang Dayiao for some reason, cut off his head and took it away.
Turang completely blocked the news of Wang DaNiao's death.
As for why they need a "channel map", Mu Min thinks it must have something to do with their so-called "Feng Shui Formation", otherwise it cannot be explained what the use of the channel map is.
"Since Gao Tianshi has a deep relationship with this case, we should focus on him in the next step." Wu Mu said, "Wu Zhiqi is under his care. We only need to keep an eye on Gao Tianshi."
Sir, don't worry about finding this Wu Zhiqi."
"That's right." Mu Min nodded, "I think we can take a long-term approach. First, we should closely monitor the suspect and his disciples, and then fish for big fish in the long run, and dig out the cancer of Guandi Temple. Exception, Taoist Cui also and
I expressed my opinion: these people are practicing sorcery and are also combining powerful medicines. They cannot combine this medicine for themselves. They should have customers in the city - these customers must be the wealthy gentry in the city.
, a very wealthy owner. So I am afraid that the wealthy gentry families in this city may also be involved."
"Wouldn't this be better?" Wu Mu smiled, "In the past, the case of witchcraft by the Emperor Wu and the prince, the queen, the prince, the concubine, the princes, the ministers, the officials and the people were implicated and died in the tens of thousands. We do not engage in the false accusation and implication of the feudal society, and those who violate the law will be punished.
, Enforcement must be strict, and as long as a case is involved, it will be strictly enforced. Liu Xiang will be more comfortable as mayor in the future."
Mu Min smiled, rang the bell, and said to the secretary who came in, "I want to talk to Mayor Liu and Director Lin to make arrangements."
Here at Mayor Liu, Cui Hantang is busy with his "ghost catching" plan.
Catching a monkey is not that difficult, but whether the monkey will come back and how it came back are still unknown to Cui Hantang. The most important thing is that they have not yet figured out who the "ghost" around Liu Xiang is.
After discussing with Liu Xiang, Lin Baiguang and others, Cui Hantang decided to set up a trap to catch the "outsiders" first and then the "inside ghosts".
First, the captain of the Guangzhou branch of the Secret Service notified the General Affairs Office that in order to ensure the "security" requirements of Liu Xiang's residence, several offices originally located in the courtyard of Liu Xiang's office were all deactivated. Only the "Liu Office" who directly served Liu Xiang was left.
".Except for Liu Office personnel and related security personnel, other naturalized citizens must hold temporary passes issued by the Secret Service to enter and leave the courtyard.
After clearing away the irrelevant personnel, Cui Hantang performed a ritual ceremony in the courtyard of Liu Xiang's residence. After pretending to dance with the mahogany sword, he claimed that he had gotten rid of the "evil objects" and that the "evil ghosts" did not dare to come near anymore. It turned out that the guards
The guards posted by the General Administration in the courtyard can also be withdrawn, leaving only the guards on duty in the room.
After the guards in the courtyard were removed, Cui Hantang asked Liu Xiang to find an opportunity to completely empty the courtyard for a long time. He personally led his apprentice and maid to lay out a "ghost hunting plan" in the courtyard.
It sounds bluffing, but it's actually very simple: install a bear trap around Liu Xiang's residence. This thing consists of two semicircular sawtooth iron rings and a torsion spring made of animal tendons. After opening, place it on the ground.
When Cui Hantang was a child, he did a lot of catching rabbits, mice, and weasels...it was very effective. In addition, he also asked his apprentice Qingyun to bring a large ceramic vat and place it under the small window behind Liu Xiang's house, with half of the vat inside.
Paste, there is an "oil paper hat" on the surface of the tank for covering.
It is said to be an "oil paper" bucket hat, but in fact it is made of a thin layer of paper that has not been brushed with tung oil. It has been dyed with color, and as long as it is not moved, it looks like an ordinary bucket hat at first glance. But it is not worth eating at all.
After making some arrangements, they waited for the "little devil" to take the bait. Wu Mu had already adjusted the personnel arrangement in the city government and adopted one-to-one tracking of all naturalized citizens who could enter and leave the yard of Liu Xiang's office.
The next step is to sit back and wait. Cui Hantang did things in the yard and removed the sentry. In the final analysis, it was to lure the other party to take action again - after all, the initiative was now in their hands.
Cui Hantang arranged all this secretly, and went out in a sedan chair in a swaggering manner. But at night, he and his young apprentice Qingyun changed into military uniforms, mingled with the guards of the General Security Bureau and returned to the yard, acting as guards on duty for Liu Xiang every day.
.
I lurked like this for several nights, but nothing happened.
That night, Liu Xiang worked until midnight and went to rest. Cui Hantang was in high spirits after getting enough sleep in the duty room. He was squatting under the roof and staring at the yard through the peephole of the tiger skylight in the attic.
The attic and the dormer roof were recently renovated after the city government moved them in. It was originally intended to be a dormitory for the staff to sleep in, and now it is used as a surveillance post.
In the second half of the night, the sky was clear and the moon was bright. The moonlight shone quietly in the courtyard through the sparse shadows of the laurel trees. Cui Hantang looked up at the bright moon and was fascinated by it. A slight chill came over him, and he suddenly thought about it: That Guanghan
In the palace, the cool dew must have also wetted the osmanthus tree, right?
In the middle of the night, he heard the crow croaking twice on the tree. Cui Hantang was shocked, and saw a black shadow flashing out from among the leaves. It jumped lightly on the branches, grabbing a branch and lightly
It landed on the roof of the main house as lightly as nothing, then sniffed it gently and went straight to Liu Xiang's bedroom.
Cui Hantang quickly grabbed the security guard next to him, made a silent gesture, and then whispered: "You are here, please don't make a sound. You will listen to my orders later."
After Cui Hantang finished speaking, the monkey had disappeared, but he was not in a hurry. The monkey would not leave easily until it completed the task. Besides, he still had a magic weapon in hand - he raised a weapon equipped by the Guangzhou Detachment of the General Security Bureau.
He used his infrared telescope and carefully searched the yard.
Soon he found the target, but saw that the monkey did not go to the back window but patrolled on the roof of the main house - obviously the last failure had caused it to change its course and use another method. Cui Hantang was just about to watch.
How did it move? Suddenly I heard the sound of roof tiles. It turned out that the monkey was vigorously lifting the tiles on the roof, trying to dig a hole in. Fortunately, the roof tiles of the government office were all made of fired bricks. If it were ordinary
The reed mats, large white paper and thin slats and other signboards really can’t stop it!
The monkey dug for a long time but could not get rid of the bricks. He squeaked a few times and jumped onto the window sill. His claws popped out and scratched at the window. After scratching for a while, he lost his patience.
, and wanted to jump into the yard again.
But this time the little monkey miscalculated. When it jumped to the ground, it habitually found a place that was close to the ground and jumped onto the big tank. The tank was only covered with a thin layer of paper, so it couldn't withstand such a shock.
Press? With a splash, the monkey fell into the water tank.
Cui Hantang laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right!" He waved his hand, "Go and catch him quickly!"
I heard two "squeaks" in the water tank, and the little monkey jumped up, but as soon as his head appeared, it was covered by a net bag. It turned out that Qingyun had already rushed over, and his net bag lightly covered his head.
