Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but his face was calm, "Someone said my fate was hard before, and then both my parents died, and some said that my soul went with my parents, and others said that I I don’t know if it’s because of this Daoist priest that I can’t see the evil spirit in the hit..."
Daoist Zhang looked at Qin Wan, and suddenly smiled. He was a Taoist in the first place, and now many of the teachings on worshiping the moon come from Taoism. Of course, he did not recognize what Qin Wan said, but since Qin Wan said so, he Why do you want to refute it
"So that's the case, maybe that's why."
Seeing that Daoist Zhang didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, Qin Wan was just relieved. Daoist Zhang has some supernatural powers, and maybe he can really see something, but as long as he doesn't have any malice to get to the bottom of it, Qin Wan is not afraid of anything. , plus her identity is different now, even if Taoist Zhang said something, no one would believe it.
"Zhang Daochang, every time I count it, there are three places, so there is no best one?"
Daoist Zhang frowned slightly, "It's really not easy to decide which is the best place, not to mention the best place for a murderer nowadays is naturally the one that won't be discovered by the government. When the arrester comes back, let's go to the south of the city to see Look, let's see which is the most suitable place for the murderer..."
Qin Wan nodded, and left Daoist Zhang's yard to wait for Zhan Yang outside. When Shen Shizheng came, Zhan Yang brought someone back from the outside. When he learned that Qin Wan was waiting, he immediately came to see Qin Wan.
"Princess, my subordinates went down to visit Wang Shouchang's former friends. They didn't know about Wang Shouchang's setting fire to death earlier, and asked Wang Shouchang's mother. His mother said that the only ones who knew about it were herself and Wang Shouchang's father. Originally, a mother beside her also knew about it, but that mother had left Wang's family long ago and passed away six years ago. That old mother had a son, and now she is still checking her son's whereabouts. Tell others that his mother doesn't know, but this matter will affect his reputation, and under normal circumstances, he will never say it himself."
Falling into the cycle of being unable to determine how the murderer learned of the evil karma committed by the deceased, Qin Wan said with a heavy heart, "First Wu Qian, then Zhao Jiaxu and Wu Dequan, and then this Wang Shouchang, these people are of high or low status They are all different, and their professions are also different, but they are all known by the murderer of their bad karma... "
"Yeah, it's so strange. The murderer must be someone who knows a lot of people, and may have connections with various industries."
Qin Wan sighed, "Daozhang Zhang has calculated two places, both of which may cause accidents next time, do you want to go and see them?"
When Zhan Yang heard this, he nodded immediately, and ordered someone to call Taoist Zhang to come out. As expected, Taoist Zhang took the deduced blueprint, "Butou Zhan, I've figured out two places right now, and I'll take you to see them first. Take precautions."
Zhan Yang nodded, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage and horses. Not long after, he took Taoist Zhang and Qin Wan out of the magistrate's yamen.
The two newly calculated places by Taoist Zhang are both in the south of the city. They arrived at the first place in less than half an hour. The first place is also in a folk square. Although this folk square is not as good as Xingle Square, Xing'an But it is also the place where wealthy families in the south of the city live. The alley is wide and the mansions on both sides are tall and wide. Taoist Zhang chanted while walking, and after a while pointed to a big mansion and said, "This is the place where the Suzaku ghosts live in the south. First place."
Tong Yu looked at the surrounding houses and stepped forward, "This kind of place is surrounded by respectable people. The murderer dare not come here to kill people..."
Zhan Yang frowned, "Have you forgotten our mistake last time?"
Qin Wan nodded, "That's true. We think it's impossible for a murder to happen here, and the murderer thinks so too, so he might take advantage of it. In addition, according to the seven hells of the Moon Worship Sect, the next time a living sacrifice will be made It is a stone mill hell, and it is also very important whether there is a possibility of killing people with things like graphite in these places."
Zhan Yang looked at Tong Yu, "Remember?!"
Tong Yu nodded, naturally not daring to contradict Zhan Yang's words.
Taoist Zhang looked around, and pointed to two directions, "These two directions are the best, from here you can see Suzaku ghosts for half a mile, and the murderer may choose another alley. "
Suzaku haunted place... Zhan Yang raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. Although he didn't know what Taoist Zhang meant, he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly asked Tong Yu to take a few small clerks to investigate nearby. After getting down, it was getting late, and Zhan Yang took Taoist Zhang to the next place, but this place was going further south, and it was getting more and more remote. When Taoist Zhang mentioned the place, he frowned when he got off the car —
In front of everyone was an abandoned mill. The gate of the mill had collapsed a long time ago, and the surrounding courtyard walls had also collapsed on one side. Weeds were overgrown in the courtyard, and stone mills collapsed from the wooden platforms one by one, covered with moss.
Tong Yu was surprised when he saw the yard, "It can't be such a coincidence..."
Just now it was said that the murderer wanted to imitate the stone mill hell to kill people, so he came to a yard full of stone mills, and the yard had been deserted for too long, at dusk, there was a bit of a gloomy feeling, Tong Yu shrank Neck and back feel cold.
Daoist Zhang smiled, "It's really a coincidence. Although it is not necessary to use a stone mill for this kind of thing, if such a good place is not used, it is not in line with the murderer's mind. The best location, to the south, the terrain is too low, to the north, the terrain is higher, and the two mansions in front are a bit high, blocking the evil spirit flowing at night, no matter how you look at it, this is the best place …”
Zhan Yang's heart moved slightly, and he looked around vigilantly, "Could the murderer have already fixed the place?"
As soon as this was said, Tong Yu, who was walking in the front, suddenly said, "Boss, come and have a look!"
Zhan Yang's complexion changed and he hurried forward, only to see Tong Yu walked into the abandoned mill house, the doors and windows of this house were rotten, only the walls were left standing, and weeds grew between the floor tiles in the house, Dust and cobwebs are all over the door and roof beams. At first glance, this house has been unoccupied for decades. However, in this unoccupied house, a big rope as thick as a fist fell in the middle of the house. , and at the bottom of the rope, there is still a stone mill disc hanging. The disc is about the size of a single person's arms, but it is extremely thick, at least nearly a hundred catties. Once the stone mill falls and hits a person, the person will undoubtedly die.
"Why is this hanging here?!" Tong Yu's complexion changed, "This rope looks very new—"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Wan said sideways, "Someone has been here."
Qin Wan was looking at a clump of weeds. At the beginning of summer, the weeds grew green in the house, but the weeds under the stone mill were all stuck to the floor tiles as if they had been crushed by something.
Qin Wan followed the mark and went out again. Facing the light, the mark on the ground was very clear. On the mossy floor tiles, there was a mark like a rut, "The murderer has been here, within ten days. The stone mill rolled in and made this mechanism, the murderer has already set the venue for each subsequent live sacrifice and made preparations early."
The height difference between the crushed grass and the non-crushed grass is not much, which shows that the murderer has been here recently. Hearing Qin Wan's words, Zhan Yang immediately frowned again, "Now we are here, The murderer must know."
As she was talking, Qin Wan turned her eyes to the gate of the courtyard, and she saw a blue silk shirt flashing past outside, Qin Wan's complexion changed, "There are people outside! Show your head! "
Zhan Yang ran after him, Qin Wan immediately shouted, "Bai Ying, you go too!"
Tong Yu followed Zhanyang, and just halfway through the pursuit, he saw Bai Ying's figure flashing out, running faster than a big man like him. Seeing this situation, they hurriedly chased them out together. As soon as everyone left, only Daoshi Zhang and Qin Wan were left in the room.
Taoist Zhang frowned slightly, "Isn't it possible that the murderer came here with us?"
Qin Wan also felt that something was wrong, "We came out of the yamen and went to the place just now. If the murderer follows all the way, we won't be able to find it all the time..."
Daoshi Zhang shook his head. He was really not interested in solving the case. He just looked at the room and muttered something while walking. Soon, he found another pattern on the ground. This pattern was not made of cinnabar. It was painted, but it was rolled out with a stone mill. After a few days, the traces were very faint, but it was still discovered by Taoist Zhang.
Daoist Zhang's complexion changed slightly, he looked around the marks, then squatted down, and touched the patterns with his hands, "It seems that this person is really ambitious, and he even wants to activate the curse of killing evil—"
Qin Wan was originally looking in the direction of the courtyard gate worriedly, but now he turned to look at Taoist Zhang after hearing this, "What is the evil curse?"
Daoist Zhang continued to squat down and said, "The evil-killing dojo is already extremely fierce. If this evil-killing spell is used again, this person's ambition is probably not just to seek simple glory and wealth. I only heard about it." However, I don’t know exactly how to do it. Apart from living sacrifices, you have to use your own blood…”
Daoist Zhang spoke in a deep tone, and Qin Wan listened very attentively, but before Daoist Zhang finished speaking, Qin Wan suddenly felt a sound of breaking wind, like a very fast bee flying over his head.
Qin Wan frowned. He didn't know what happened at first, but when he looked up, he saw that the rope hanging the stone mill had been cut in half by something. The thick rope was loose into thin strands. Precariously on the verge of falling, he took another look at Daoist Zhang who was squatting under the stone mill with his back turned to him and buried himself in the research. Qin Wan was terrified, "Master Daoist! Get out of the way!"
Daoist Zhang was suddenly slammed by Qin Wan. Without any sense of crisis, he subconsciously looked at Qin Wan. When he looked at it, the loose strands began to break. Qin Wan gritted his teeth and flew towards Zhang. The Taoist pushed him away, and Taoist Zhang felt a blur in front of his eyes. The next moment, Qin Wan pushed him forward with both hands, and then, there was a loud "bang" and it fell down!
Daoist Zhang was pushed to the ground, and before he could calm down, he heard Qin Wan's soft cry. Daoist Zhang was stunned for a moment, and there was a bang in his head. When he got up to look, he saw Qin Wan also lying on the ground. Her black hair spread all over her back, her body was tightly pressed against the stone mill, and half of her shoulders could not be seen. Taoist Zhang was horrified, and hurried forward, "Princess!"
Qin Wan's elbows were covered with bruises, and the blood came out quickly through his clothes. Seeing Daoist Zhang pushing the stone mill in a panic, Qin Wan smiled wryly, "It's okay, my hair, my hair is suppressed— "
Daoist Zhang has been imprisoned for so many years and has never lost his mind. At this moment, he was terrified and didn't know what to do. Hearing what Qin Wan said, he quickly squatted down to check Qin Wan's shoulder. There was still two inches of ground in the stone mill, but the waterfall-like black hair was suppressed by the stone mill.
Zhang Daoshi breathed a sigh of relief, his knees bent and he fell to the ground, "Princess, you... If the princess is injured today, the little old man may not be able to pay for his life—"
Qin Wan smiled helplessly, "The Taoist priest should cut off my hair."
"If the princess is a little slower, I'm afraid that half of his body will be smashed."
The old stone slab on the ground was smashed into a hole. Qin Wan's shoulder was only two inches away from the stone mill. Seeing Mo's hair being pressed under the stone mill, Taoist Zhang's heart beat wildly. But he couldn't cut off Qin Wan's hair. His body, skin, hair and skin belonged to his parents, not to mention that Qin Wan was a woman. Daoist Zhang took a deep breath, stood up and pushed the stone mill, but Daoist Zhang was too thin to use it. It took a lot of effort to push the stone mill away—
Daoist Zhang was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Qin Wan pulled his hair out from under it and stood up, patting the dust off his body, Qin Wan showed no look of fear.
Daoist Zhang looked at Qin Wan with mixed emotions in his heart, and then glanced at the few strands of black hair on the ground. Daoist Zhang lifted his robe and knelt towards Qin Wan, "Thank you princess today, I don't owe anyone anything. , but today I owe the princess the grace to save my life."
Qin Wan was helpless when he heard the words, "The Taoist priest doesn't have to be like this, even whoever is here, I will save, not to mention that I have estimated that nothing big will happen—"
Just now the situation was urgent, Zhang Daochang stopped right under the stone mill, he didn't know what happened above his head, when he raised his head to see the crisis above his head, it was too late, Zhang Daochang she saved, Zhan Yang, Zheng Baishi, she will save too.
Qin Wan leaned over to give her a hand, "Prince Taoist, please get up." As soon as the words fell, someone's voice sounded outside the courtyard, Qin Wan leaned over to pick up the ink hair on the ground, and said hurriedly, "President Taoist, get up quickly, this piece Don’t let my maidservant know beforehand.”
Daoshi Zhang stood up after hearing the voices getting closer and closer.
As soon as he patted the dust off his clothes, Zhan Yang and Bai Ying rushed into the door. As soon as they entered the door, they saw graphite falling from the ground, and Bai Ying rushed in with a changed expression, "Miss! What happened?" !"
Qin Wan sighed, "We've been tricked—"
After Qin Wan finished speaking, he picked up the hemp rope on the ground and took a closer look at the cut. Half of the cut was neat, but the other side was broken with strands of different lengths. Qin Wan showed Zhan Yang's body, and pointed to it not far away. Fangliang at the place, "Zhan Butou, the murderer wants Zhang Daochang's life, so you should be able to find hidden weapons in that direction."
