The Eighth Master raised his eyebrows and seemed to be about to get angry. My hesitation just now showed that I had something to hide. But the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master shook their heads, indicating that they should not be angry.
Qi Ye sighed and said, "Brother, this matter has been reported to the Chief Executive, just like the Zhang Hanxue incident back then. The Chief Executive personally ordered the arrest of the culprit. Xiaoxue has any grievances, and after being personally interrogated by the Chief Executive, he will give her a fair punishment. You don't have to do this. You will hurt Xiaoxue and yourself at the same time."
I rubbed my nose and thought, what Master Qi said is not unreasonable, but since Xiaoxue asked me for help, it means that she knows that she will not have a good ending if she is caught and taken back to the underworld this time. Otherwise, with her qualifications, she will definitely be fine if she clarifies the facts. I smiled helplessly and said, "Master Qi, I am telling the truth, don't you believe me? How about this, all my things are here, you can search..." Then I took the backpack off my shoulder and handed it to Master Qi.
When I handed it over, my heart was pounding. What if some guy really opened the bag and looked through it? My trick would be exposed immediately.
The Seventh Master did not reach out to take it, but looked at the Eighth Master and exchanged glances. Then he turned back and said to me: "It is possible that Xiaoxue used the 'ghost escape technique' to escape, and perhaps fled to Death Valley, which is her lair. This is a bit difficult to deal with."
Damn, it sounds like this is not sincere, it's clearly to help me clear the suspicion of hiding a ghost. I understand, they are here to catch the ghost prisoner, and they must be followed by the dead bastards to wander around at night. If I don't pretend, I will be punished when I go back.
Mr. Ba said with a dark face, "Then let's go back. By the way, if you have any clues about her, inform us immediately." He took out a piece of straw paper and handed it to me, "Just write 'Please show up, Master Wuchang' on it, and we will come to you. Remember to write at night, if you write during the day, we will not come."
After saying this, the two brothers shook their heads with a gloomy look on their faces and disappeared in front of the mourning shed.
I bowed and said respectfully, "Goodbye, gentlemen!"
I straightened up and looked around, thinking that the damn bastard must still be nearby, and I must not show any trace. I squatted by the swimming pool and called them to come up, and they both emerged from the water tremblingly and climbed out.
Lu Fei looked around in fear and asked me, "Where's Xiaoxue?"
"I don't know. She suddenly disappeared without a trace just now. Then the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master came, and she might have been scared away." I said.
"What are the Seventh and Eighth Masters doing here?" Lu Fei had a question mark on his face.
"I'm here to catch Xiaoxue."
"Did her murder get reported to the underworld?"
I frowned and stood up. I didn't answer this question, but changed the subject and said, "Someone died here. We have to report it quickly."
The middle-aged man was shivering with cold and said, "But this is a murder committed by a ghost. Will the police believe us? What if they pin the suspicion of murder on me?"
In fact, I also find this matter difficult, because it is difficult to judge the case of ghost killing in legal procedures. If it were in the provincial capital, the police station would have a large number of psychic consultants and could find out the truth. But in the county, there is no such thing as a psychic consultant. If you can't find the murderer, you have to find a scapegoat, right
For example, if the ghost hadn't appeared, I would have been wrongly killed when An Qi died last time. Although that bastard chief said that the police station had a psychic consultant, there are no famous celestial masters in this area except Lu Fei and me. If a whole charlatan comes out, won't he still take human life lightly
"So what do you think we should do?" I asked him.
The man's teeth were chattering with cold. He hugged his body with his hands and said, "I will ask the hospital to issue a death certificate for the car accident, and send it to the crematorium for cremation tomorrow, so that no one can tell there is anything wrong."
Lu Fei and I looked at each other. It turned out that money can really do everything. The truth of the murder was changed to a car accident. This villa is relatively remote and large. If there are a few screams here, because there is a funeral at home, I guess the nearby residents will not pay much attention. If he gives out a lot of money, the relevant departments will turn a blind eye. Once the body is cremated, there will be no evidence.
Actually, this is a solution. If we hand it over to the police, they won't be able to find the murderer. We can figure it out on our own and find out the real murderer. I firmly believe that Xiaoxue killed someone because the murderer manipulated her and confused her mind. Find out the manipulator behind the scenes and let Xiaoxue kill him!
We nodded, and I said to him, "Then you can do whatever you want. We are leaving now."
“No!” The guy stood up from the ground in shock and said to us with a terrified look on his face: “I am the only one left in the house now. If you leave, I… I’m scared!”
Lu Fei snorted coldly and said, "I saved your life tonight out of kindness. Why don't you think about how you drove me out this morning?"
The guy was sweating profusely at what Lu Fei said, and he said humbly, "I was confused, please don't bother with me, I'm willing to pay any amount you want."
"Do you think I care about your money?" Lu Fei said with his eyes wide open. Maybe he was too upset in the morning and he was venting it now.
I pulled him and asked him, "Are you the owner of this place, Zhu Zhongqi?"
"Yes Yes."
"Why don't I see the Yin-Yang master you hired?" I asked curiously. There was a lot of commotion here tonight, but why didn't I see this bastard? Could it be that he was dealt with by Xiaoxue
Zhu Zhongqi shook his head helplessly and said, "That man was a wandering man. He came to our house a few days ago. He stayed at our house for five days and said that he had found a scapegoat for Xiao Lu. He took the money and left this afternoon."
The Xiaolu he mentioned should be his daughter. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I had originally wanted to find out the origins of that skinny boy and then be kind enough to accompany him until dawn. When I thought about the scapegoat, I was furious. I sneered and asked him as I walked towards the mourning shed, "Who gave you the idea to find a scapegoat for your daughter?"
Zhu Zhongqi and Lu Fei came up behind me. Zhu Zhongqi said from behind, "On the night my daughter died, I had a strange dream. I dreamed of an old man with a white beard who said he was our ancestor. He said that Xiaolu's drowning was an abrupt death, and that if she didn't find a scapegoat, she wouldn't be able to reincarnate. Because Xiaolu was too young to understand the matter, she needed to find a yin and yang master to enlighten her, so I asked someone to do this."
I stood under the mourning shed, looking at the eerie coffin, and asked him, "The coffin nails seem to have been moved, what happened?" Only now could I see that the coffin nails had traces of having been re-nailed, which was very unlucky. Even people who didn't understand the ins and outs of it would not close the coffin lid and then open it, as this would bring disaster to the family.
Zhu Zhongqi said: "Mr. Gu bought a piece of jade this morning and wrote an incomprehensible word on it with cinnabar. He told Xiaolu to hold it in her mouth. This is called the Nine-orifice Soul-Resting Jade, and the soul of the deceased will rest in peace. I said it would be unlucky to reopen the coffin lid, and he told me that with his arrangement, there would be no adverse consequences."
I frowned when I heard this. It turned out that this bastard bought a piece of consecrated jade and used it here. You should know that the Nine-Aperture Jade is not consecrated, so it will collide with the corpse's qi. If you write a strange word on the jade, it will be an evil curse. Consecrated jade plus an evil curse is like gasoline touching a flame, which is a kind of offense in itself. Add to that the blood under the coffin, it would be strange if the corpse didn't immediately turn into a blood corpse!
