Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 104 Renovation
After Zheng Peng said this, several people immediately realized something.

"Uncle Zheng, it's this fountain, the one that's broken, the pattern of the dragon-suppressing pile?"

Zheng Peng walked around the fountain, inspecting it carefully, frowning tightly.

After a long time, he sighed.

"According to the records in the ancient books, this location happens to be the point where one of the energy veins of Zhenlong Zhuang converges. The energy moves with the water, and the fountain will spray water into the sky, so the energy will be released."

Lu Ming doesn't really believe in this set of metaphysical theories.In fact, he never believed in this set from the beginning to the end.The reason why I agree to follow the existing clues is to see if I can get closer to the truth in this way.

However, at this moment, along with Zheng Peng's judgment, one thing can finally be confirmed.

That is, the layout of Zhenlong Zhuang, after Wu Qingfu at the beginning, did indeed make mistakes and omissions.

This point was just a guess of the members of the second action team before, but now, it has finally been confirmed by Zheng Peng, a professional.

In this way, from an overall point of view, another missing piece of the puzzle has been added to the logic of the entire "Haunted House" case.

Zhang Dingshan said: "Uncle Zheng, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, I will fix whatever is wrong with this dragon-suppressing pile."

Lu Ming could clearly sense that Zheng Peng still had a look of fear in his gaze towards the main building of Binhai Building.

After all, because of the "revenge" of that "fierce ghost", Wei Yanzhen's whole family died, and he also ended in misery.This time, if he tries to repair the dragon-suppressing piles and suppress the ghosts, he still doesn't know how severe the retaliation will be.

But he didn't hesitate at all.

Lu Ming sighed inwardly.

"I just hope that Zheng Qianglong can change his mind and make a good reform in prison, and don't let down the opportunity his father bought with his life..."

"Tear down this fountain first."

Zheng Peng made the first order.

"it is good."

Gao Chunhua was puzzled, a little unacceptable to be commanded by a magic stick.In particular, Sergeant Zhang Dingshan, the top "criminal investigator" whom I admire in my heart, who is regarded as the last hope to solve the murderous house case, and the others, even obeyed the words of this magic stick.

But he still just suppressed these doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart, without showing anything.

Under the protection of many security officers, some construction workers entered the site. In front of Zheng Peng, it took less than an hour to dismantle the fountain. They followed his instructions and used concrete and other materials to disassemble the fountain. filled potholes.

Afterwards, Zheng Peng first walked around the Binhai Building several times, carefully inspecting every plant and tree here, carefully calculating the distance between the buildings, and sometimes looking up at the sky, pinching his fingers constantly, as if calculating position.

At night, a waning moon rose into the sky, and several bright stars also appeared in the night sky.

Zheng Peng looked up at the stars, and made another calculation that seemed extremely complicated.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Peng slept for a while.Early the next morning, he got up.

"Fortunately, the craft of stargazing and calculating the earth's veins has not been given up."

Zheng Penglue said with some emotion, and led several members of the second action team, Gao Chunhua and several security officers, and walked straight to the place about two hundred meters in front of the Binhai Building.

There is a flower bed, and there are some plants like evergreens growing in it.

"Dig out."

Gao Chunhua called the construction workers again.Several workers put all kinds of tools together, and dug it out in a short while, and dug down to a depth of more than one meter.

"Officer, there is something."

Zheng Peng was refreshed and stepped forward immediately.

Lu Ming looked intently, and saw a little metallic luster.Zheng Peng carefully cleaned the dirt away, and the thing revealed its true appearance.

It was a metal box with rust on the outside, which seemed to be old.

Lu Ming didn't expect that Zheng Peng actually dug something after some operations.

Even if the box was buried by himself before, but decades have passed, the scenery on the ground has changed a lot, and the memory is bound to be biased.Now that Zheng Peng made calculations and observed the sky, he found it directly after only one attempt. This shows that at least in Zheng Peng's "professional field", he does have some knowledge.

Looking at the metal box, Zheng Peng seemed to recall something, and his face was full of emotion.

When the metal box was opened, a wooden sign wrapped in transparent plastic appeared in front of people.

The wooden sign was about the size of a palm, and it had an unsophisticated look as a whole, with many mysterious patterns outlined on it.

"Decades ago, I watched the master bury this token in this position, and let it serve as a suppressing object and become part of the dragon-suppressing pile formation."

"Now……"

Zheng Peng picked it up and shook his head: "Look."

Lu Ming looked carefully, and following Zheng Peng's instructions, he saw that although the wooden sign hadn't decayed, there was a thin crack in the middle, running through the entire sign.

"Is it damaged?"

Zheng Peng nodded.

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Is the damage to this wooden sign due to the cracks that appeared due to the uneven humidity inside and outside for too long, or because it was affected by some unspeakable force—for example, the "ghost" suppressed by the dragon-suppressing pile? , I can't say right now.

But now is not the time to pursue.

Gao Chunhua didn't say a word, but just handed him another wooden sign that had been prepared according to Zheng Peng's instructions.

The two wooden signs have exactly the same patterns and materials.Just one new and one old.

Zheng Peng took it carefully, put it in the iron box as it was, and buried it carefully.

This is the first place.

After that, Zheng Peng went straight to the second place.It was under a floor tile.

"Last time, when Master and I set up formation together, there was still a forest here. Now..."

The passage of time and the vicissitudes of life made Zheng Peng deeply moved.

"dig."

Several workers did as they said, lifted the floor tiles, dug a distance of about one meter, and saw another iron box.

Open it, revealing a stone god statue inside.

The statue did not see any damage, but the color was dim.

"This array eye is not damaged, but let's replace it with a new one."

Zheng Peng bowed devoutly to the statue twice, then carefully took out an identical new statue, put it into an iron box, and buried it again.

After that, Zheng Peng searched a few more places and found a piece of talisman paper, a dagger, a piece of iron and other things.

Some of them are broken and some are intact.But Zheng Peng all replaced them with new ones.

During this process, no matter what changes happened to the scenery on the ground, how different it was when he followed Wei Yanzhen to set up the formation decades ago, Zheng Peng could find it all at once, and never made a mistake.

In terms of this skill alone, it seems that there is indeed some way.

After two full days of busy work, the "refurbishment" of the Zhenlong pile formation was completed.After that, Zheng Peng opened the altar again, wearing Taoist robes, holding wooden swords, talisman papers, copper bells, etc., chanting words in front of the table, and made a lot of movements.

After everything was done, Zheng Peng's face was full of exhaustion.

"Officer He, I have filled in all the incomplete parts of the Zhenlong pile formation."

But things are not over yet.

The formation of Zhenlong Zhuang has been completed, but... is it really effective?

According to the current logic and clues, the reason for the "fierce ghost" to get out of trouble was that the dragon-suppressing pile formation was damaged.Then, if the damage is repaired and the Dragon Suppressing Pile Formation is re-established, that ghost will of course be trapped again.

But this is only theoretical.In reality, how to verify?

This thing cannot be tested by scientific instruments and equipment.

"Don't worry." Zheng Peng said: "According to ancient records, no matter how powerful this ghost is, no matter how much it recovers now, it will definitely be suppressed under the dragon-suppressing pile formation. It can pass through at most a trace of mana." Come to take revenge on me, but now, if you want to kill someone again, it is impossible to do it no matter what."

According to Zheng Peng's previous experience, the practice of "revenging the formation through a trace of mana" can only affect the "destiny" of the formation, causing them to suffer bad luck and have a miserable fate, but it is absolutely impossible to actually kill people such as.

"Tomorrow night, I will stay alone in this building all night. You will know soon whether the dragon-suppressing pile formation is useful or not."

It is indeed the simplest and most direct method of verification for a person to test it himself to see if he will be killed by that "spirit".

However, no one is more suitable for this role than Zheng Peng.

This is one of the conditions for He Wei to help him bring his son back and prevent his son from continuing to slide into the abyss.

Lu Ming still hesitated in his heart.

In any case, taking a human life to verify a certain question always challenges his moral bottom line.But Zheng Peng showed full confidence in this: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If the Zhenlong pile doesn't work, something should have happened when the Binhai Building was just built, and it won't be delayed for so long. Just don't worry, Officer Lu."

Lu Ming thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"However, before you go in, Uncle Zheng, we will do some experiments first. Well, let's try using animals such as mice, pigs, and monkeys."

"Alright."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Uncle Zheng, don't worry, when you go in, we will stay outside and watch you through surveillance. If something is wrong, we will go there immediately."

"it is good."

It was only noon at the moment, and after finishing these things, although Zheng Peng was very tired, he did not go to rest.

Under Lu Ming's leadership, he came to another place.

This is a barren mountain, located at the foot of a small hill on the outskirts of the city.

Here, Zheng Peng took a compass and calculated around for a long time.At night, I watch the sky again, and I don't go to sleep until late at night after being busy.

At this time, dozens of mice, monkeys, and pigs have been placed in different locations in the Binhai Building, and they are all closely monitored.But until the morning sun rose, none of these animals showed any abnormalities.

On the second day, Zheng Peng was busy until the afternoon, and finally directed the transferred architects to complete an architectural drawing.

"Let's build it according to this blueprint."

This is a scaled-down version of the Zhenlong Pile Formation.

Lu Ming nodded.

After finalizing these matters, at night, after 12 o'clock, everyone gathered in front of Binhai Building again.

According to Zhang Dingshan's instructions, many scientific research and observation equipment have been placed in the Binhai Building at this moment, the place where the old master liar died.

Here, there are the most basic temperature, humidity, air pressure, air composition detection equipment, etc., as well as radiation, pulse and other detection equipment that are usually relatively rare.

In short, all the equipment that can be placed there is placed there.

Under the eyes of everyone, Zheng Peng turned around and walked into the Binhai Building alone.
