Seeking the Dao in the Seemingly Mundane Mortal World

Chapter 14: Investigation

Views:

"What the hell are you thinking about?" In the wing room, Liusu asked Qin Yi incredulously, "When did you ever have such curiosity about investigating a case?"

Qin Yi leaned against the window sill and sipped his wine leisurely: "You seem to have made a mistake, the Li brothers and sisters all want to come and see, but I can't insist on it alone? I haven't started working together, just in such a side-by-side place. Awkward?"

Tassel choked for a while, as if that's right... It seems that he hasn't interacted with people for thousands of years, and he even forgot the basic principles of life.

"It's really strange why Li Qinglin came here. It stands to reason that he definitely doesn't have such a leisurely interest." Qin Yi looked at the night outside the window and thoughtfully: "If I were him instead, please ask the alchemist to come out, and I wish I had two wings. Hurry back to Beijing, how could you let me ride my old horse all the way without even urging me... That's all, I've come to meddle in my business to investigate the case."

Tassel said: "Others see you as having a strange temper, and they don't want to make trouble with you if they don't urge you. Li Qinglin is very stable. Do you think they are as innocent as Li Qingjun?"

"Maybe." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Anyway, this incident doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. That lady's eyes can't wait to swallow Li Qinglin."

Tassel also laughed. A young handsome man like Li Qinglin is obviously a wealthy family, and he can really kill young women.

"Hey, Bang Bang, do you think this lady murdered her husband and stole the property?"

"I don't know, I can't read minds."

"Then do you feel that this Zhuangzi has a demonic energy or something?"

Tassel said lazily: "I told you at the time of the spider demon, I am too weak now, and my soul power is extremely low. It is not bad to be able to see things and transmit sound. It is difficult for me to perceive demon energy."

"You can't even sense demonic energy, and they claim to teach people to practice..."

"..." Tassel gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm weak, it's not that I can't!"

"Then how else can you determine whether the other party is a human or a demon?"

Tassel said confidently: "If you follow me to cultivate immortals, there are countless ways, but now, there is no way!"

Qin Yi was about to speak when footsteps came from outside the door, and he immediately closed his mouth.

The knock on the door sounded quickly, Qin Yi opened the door, but it was Li Qingjun.

"I'm here to discuss with you how to investigate the matter at night." Li Qingjun looked a little excited, and could see that he was very interested.

Qin Yi said helplessly: "What kind of person is your brother, why don't you ask me why?"

Li Qingjun looked around and lowered his voice: "Let me in first."

Qin Yi stepped aside, Li Qingjun stepped in and closed the door.

"It's uncertain whether the matter here is caused by human beings or ghosts. If it's human, my brother will be able to investigate it, but if it's a ghost, of course, I will ask your opinion." Li Qingjun paused for a while, and then said helplessly: "Not to mention my brother tonight. It may be inconvenient to act with us."

Qin Yi laughed: "Is it because Madam Zhang might go to your brother?"

"Yes, so my brother stays in the house tonight, maybe I will gain something. It's up to you and me to go out and act."

"Listening to your tone, you seem to be quite supportive of your brother having an affair outside?"

"Why don't you support it?" Li Qingjun looked at him strangely: "My brother is a prince and has countless concubines. What's wrong with having an affair outside? If this woman really has nothing to do with the case, then if my brother likes it, it's normal to take it back and take it home. Very, but I see her spontaneity, but my brother doesn't like her."

It's a matter of course, tsk... the ancient world... Look at the attitude of the girls towards three wives and four concubines, it's really good news for the harem party.

Qin Yi thought that his smile was a little ambiguous, and Li Qingjun said with contempt, "Men."

"Hey, are you a double standard? Your brother can take it back if he likes it. I'll despise it even if I laugh?"

"Because you laughed so disgustingly."

"You don't care how I laugh, it's your brother who has an affair, not me. Are you not afraid that your brother will be fascinated by women?"

"It's impossible." Li Qingjun replied casually: "That's not Li Qinglin."

Qin Yi finally nodded, although he didn't get along much, he was also very confident in Li Qinglin.

Li Qingjun asked unintentionally: "I see that you are very indifferent to everything, why are you interested in this kind of nosy?"

Qin Yi said: "Seeing the injustice on the road, and the dream of happy rivers and lakes, Qin also has it."

Tassel really wanted to use the mace to knock it down, you didn't say that just now!

Li Qingjun didn't know whether to believe it or not, but just smiled: "Then we will act tonight, what advice do you have?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment: "I think I have to go and see the corpse of the village owner. It is said that he is not in his early years, isn't he? It should still be buried in the mourning hall."

Li Qingjun nodded, looking at the corpse should be the most direct means, the so-called bizarre death, is it really impossible to see any clues

The moon was black and the wind was high, and the two quietly sneaked behind the mourning hall. Looking in from the window, the mourning hall is still lit with candles, and a few people are keeping watch. One of them was dressed as a dutiful son, and looked like the owner of a young village, but his face was blue and his lips were white, and he looked very frail. And this young village owner seems to be about the same age as that lady... It can be seen that the so-called wife is just a continuation of the village owner.

The young village owner was talking about the autumn harvest with a few Zhuang Dings. The two of them stood outside the window and listened for a while, but nothing gained. Li Qingjun said in his ear: "Hey, do you have any special means to let them go to sleep?"

Qin Yi's ears were slightly itchy, and he smelled the fragrance of Lan Lan around him, and was stunned for a while, unable to say what he wanted to say. Li Qingjun also realized that this gesture was too ambiguous, and his pretty face was a little red, but he quickly urged indifferently: "Where is the pretentiousness, tell me if there is a way!"

"Yes." Qin Yi took out a packet of medicinal powder: "Blow this powder in, they will fall asleep when they smell it."

In the past two months, in order to gain some pre-experience in the alchemy skills, a lot of basic pharmaceutical experiments have been done, many of which have been sorted out, and they have come in handy everywhere. Li Qingjun left him half a foot and said with contempt, "What do you want to do to make this medicine secretly?"

Qin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You need this medicine again, and you despise me for having this medicine, do you have schizophrenia?"

Li Qingjun snorted, grabbed the powder with his hands, and was waiting for Yun Gong to send it in.

At this time, the conversation inside just ended, and several Zhuang Ding said goodbye to the young Zhuang master. Li Qingjun was stunned for a moment, didn't these people accompany the young village master to keep the spirit

Just as he was wondering, he saw the owner of the young village standing alone in the center of the mourning hall. When the dark wind was high this month, the candlelight flickered, reflecting his pale face like a ghost, making people feel cold.

The young village owner stayed silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Why did you keep those three guests?"

In the empty and empty mourning hall, in the dead of night, talking like this is like a ghost prison.

A filial figure walked slowly outside the door, and said softly: "That young master has internal strength, that's very important to me... Maybe from now on, you can let it go from others, you don't like me and others..."

The owner of Shao Zhuang remained unchanged, but he was a little helpless: "You have internal strength, don't show your waist! And seeing his temperament and dressing up, he is either rich or expensive, so don't cause a big problem."

"As long as you don't know it, what's the problem?" Madam Zhang put her hand on the chest of the young village master, and said softly: "Don't be afraid of those so-called ghost hunters, there is no real way of doing things. The gentlemen, they are not all swindling liars, all eyes are fixed on other people's breasts and they are reluctant to move..."

The owner of the young village snorted angrily: "So the same is true for the three people today?"

"It's not really..." Madam Zhang hesitated for a while, "One of them is a girl's family, let's not mention it, the two men have clear eyes, the son surnamed Li may be used to seeing beauty, and the young man surnamed Qin sees beauty. Wearing rough clothes and straw shoes, but also calm and calm, not vulgar…”

Qin Yi was a little speechless. It turns out that sometimes normal performance is a flaw in the eyes of a caring person, so he has learned.

The master of the young village said: "So you are not afraid that they are really here to hunt ghosts?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "I didn't feel that they had any mana practice, it was just the martial artist's internal strength. It's not a problem if they really came to hunt ghosts."

"You just like that Young Master Li!" The owner of the young village angrily shook off her hand, turned around and left.

Seemingly annoyed, she actually acquiesced to her to hook up with Li Qinglin. Madam Zhang stood there for a while, smiled slightly, and then turned around.

Qin Yi and Li Qingjun looked at each other for a while, and suddenly there was no one to guard the mourning hall...

"Let's go, the hypnotic powder won't work anymore." Silently waited until the people were far away, and confirmed that no one was coming. Li Qingjun thought he was cautious enough, and entered through the window.

"Hey, wait!" Before Qin Yi could shout, he saw that she had rushed to the edge of the coffin and reached out to lift the lid.

There was a "click" sound, as if some switch had been flipped, and the ground beside the coffin suddenly cracked. Li Qingjun was caught off guard and fell down.

"This stupid woman!" Qin Yi flew over and tried to pull her, but only had time to hold a slender hand, and the force of the flying crash caused him to fall down.

"Bang!" Fortunately, the trap wasn't too deep. Li Qingjun slammed into the bottom of the pit and fell in all directions. Qin Yi was planted on top of her, pressing down hard.
