[Liao Zhai] I'm sorry, I'm looking for a home attack

Ruan Ci protected these people out of the garden, and continued to run outside the mansion without a pause. He was relieved until he got out of the gate of Li Mansion, and quickly told him: "Stay away from here, don't let people come near here again. , and don't get close to the Yudai River and all its tributaries, this female ghost may have a way to walk in the river."

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and ran in, and he had to go back to help.Although it's useless to fight him, if Brother Lin rescues the three people who went into the water just now, he can come in handy.

So he must hurry back and stand guard on the shore as soon as possible!

On the other side, when Lin Heng stepped into the water, he felt a much colder air than before, and it was different from the dead silence before, this time he clearly felt that there was a person peeping in the dark.

He sneered, thinking that he would not be found if he hid?You don't have to rely on your eyes to fight!

I am not afraid of you coming, but I am afraid that you will not come!Lin Heng slapped hard towards the source of the peeping gaze.

He discharged it with a palm without holding back, and the thick black and viscous river water was split into a huge gap by force, separating the two sides like dividing water, revealing the path passed by the palm wind.

The female ghost was shocked, her strength was greatly increased in the river, not to mention that this place is still in her ghost domain, this person can even sense her!

And this powerful palm, what kind of cultivation is this?This is definitely not something she can compete with!

She wanted to leave, but couldn't escape.

The scariest thing in this world is that you clearly see the enemy launching a fatal blow to you, but you can't dodge it no matter what.

No matter where you hide, the palm wind will arrive as expected, it doesn't seem that fast, but it has already hit your vitals in the next moment.

Before the female ghost even had time to shout, she was taken out of her wits.

No matter how powerful she was, she was just a ghost who had just formed for a short time. Compared with the monks in the Nascent Soul Stage, she was still far behind.

If it wasn't Lin Heng who came but other Nascent Soul cultivators who were proficient in spells, she wouldn't even have the chance to hide for so long.

However, it was precisely because she managed to hide the truth from Lin Heng for the first time that she misunderstood her, thinking that it was nothing more than that, so she dared to show up.

If she didn't take the initiative to show up, it would be really difficult for Lin Heng to catch her.

After the female ghost dissipated, a grayish-yellow object the size of a palm was left on the spot. Lin Heng picked it up and glanced at it, and found that it was a pottery puppet.

He frowned, put away the doll, and decided to go out to show Ruan Ci.

He always felt a little strange about this pottery puppet.

But now is not the time to worry about this, saving people is the most important thing!

The ghost domain had already collapsed when the female ghost dissipated, and Ning Lan and the two police officers had already fallen to the bottom of the river because their hands and feet became stiff from the sudden cold.

Lin Heng quickly lifted them up with all his strength and pushed them up. Ruan Ci, who had just run back to the shore, saw a few people floating on the water, and hurriedly fished them up.

Liu Xuan jumped off his shoulders, ran to Ning Lan's side and slapped him with his small head, feeling a little cold on his body.

It thought for a while, jumped to Ning Lan's chest, sniffed vigorously, and sucked all the Yin Qi into its body.

Anyway, it is transformed by a wisp of the master's soul, and its physique is too cold to be colder, such a little yin energy, it's a trivial matter.

As it inhaled, Ning Lan's complexion slowly recovered, gradually turning from abnormally pale with blue to normal pale.

Ruan Ci released his mirror, and the warm white light shone on Ning Lan's body. He opened his eyes, his face became rosy, and he felt warm on his body.

Liuyong meowed a few times, and Ning Lan held it up happily: "Little Liuyong? You saved me? You are really amazing!"

Ruan Ci was completely ignored, and resignedly directed the mirror to take a picture of the other two policemen.

Lin Heng swam out of the water, and the two police officers had recovered and woke up. Ruan Ci waved at him, his big peach eyes turned into a crescent moon: "Brother Lin, you just get rid of that female ghost!" Is it? It's amazing!"

"Meow~" Seeing his master, Liu Hong immediately abandoned Ning Lan, who was in a good place before, and rushed into Lin Heng's arms.

Lin Heng went to the case calmly, the river water slipped off his body without leaving a drop, and his whole body was no different from before he entered the water.

He caught the flying Liu Yan, smoothed his hair a few times, took out the pottery puppet from his sleeve, and handed it to Ruan Ci.

Ruan Ci took it over, looked at it, and was a little surprised: "Huh? Is this a double pottery puppet?"

……

Everyone sat around and looked at the pottery puppet placed in the center of the table.

The pottery puppet is only the size of a palm, its luster is dim, and its appearance is very vague. It can only be seen that it is a human figure.

Ruan Ci turned the puppet over, and tapped a line of small characters on the back of the puppet.

"Stand-in pottery is a difficult thing to make. Don't look at how ordinary it looks, but it takes a lot of effort to make it! I didn't expect that female ghost to get one, so it's no wonder she was able to find it at the bottom of the river. Running around. With this thing, a brief break from the confines of the body is totally doable."

Lin Heng glanced at the line of words: "Is this the birth date?"

Ruan Ci nodded: "That's right. This kind of ordinary pottery doll has relatively large restrictions. It is not the kind that can be used by everyone with good workmanship, but can only be used by specific people, but even so, it is already very rare. .”

Ning Lan rubbed her chin: "I don't think it's right. Since the murder in Li's Mansion was not because the corpse was here and unable to leave, why did it only commit crimes in Li's Mansion? Also, ghosts can't commit crimes by themselves." How about making a pottery puppet? Someone must have made it for her. According to Taoist Ruan, this pottery puppet is expensive to make, who made such a pottery puppet for this female ghost?"

Li Xi nodded: "That's right, this matter is indeed full of strangeness. Although the water ghost has been eliminated, the case is not over yet, and the investigation will continue."

"The water ghost hasn't been eliminated yet." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

"This...doesn't it mean that the soul is gone?" Everyone was very surprised. They were still convinced of Lin Heng's strength. Why did something go wrong?

Ruan Ci sighed: "Brother Lin is right, I didn't think carefully, I took it for granted. If the water ghost wants to be completely eliminated, it must destroy its body, but after Brother Lin dispersed the female ghost, only What does it mean to leave a stand-in pottery puppet?"

It means that the real body of the female ghost is not dead yet.

This sentence popped up in everyone's mind, and they automatically answered Ruan Ci's question.

"We'll burn that female corpse right now!" Ning Lan slapped the table.

Li Xi said in a difficult way: "The identity of the deceased has not been determined..." How does this make him write the case file?

"The night has many dreams, it's better than that female ghost recovering and coming out to make trouble, right? Killing her while she's sick!" Ning Lan insisted: "If the emperor blames you, you can say that I burned it, and I will explain it clearly to him. .”

Li Xi felt relieved, with Ning Lan supporting him, he didn't have to worry about being dismissed from office.

Lin Heng said: "The female corpse should not be the real corpse. Since the female ghost can walk with the help of a substitute pottery puppet, it means that her corpse is likely to be somewhere else. The female corpse here is just a cover-up."

Ning Lan slapped her forehead: "Forget it, forget it, these ghosts and ghosts have confused me."

Li Xi suddenly said: "No, it's not."

"What?" Ning Lan was confused, and everyone looked at Li Xi suspiciously.

"Marshal Ning was not confused by these things, but someone misled us from the beginning!" Li Xi frowned, and said slowly, "It's Li Anren."

"Li Anren's testimony misled us, and made us subconsciously believe that the woman who sank in Li's mansion was the one who caused the chaos. But in fact, there was no trace of bondage on the woman's body. Master Ji Li and Daoist Ruan also said , the female corpse was lying on the water plants, and there were no stones around her, and the two catchers who salvaged it can also testify."

After all, Li Xi has been adjudicating cases for many years, so she is quite sensitive to the loopholes in the testimony.It was only because this loophole was so insignificant compared to other problems, so he didn't notice it for a while, but when he heard Ning Lan's words, he suddenly remembered it.

"On the surface, there is nothing wrong with Li Anren's testimony. But it is such a small detail that misleads us. And it is precisely because he is mostly truthful that we ignore this even more, subconsciously Everything that I said to him I believed to be true and reliable."

Speaking of this, Li Xi seemed to remember something, opened the door, and said to the yamen guard outside: "Hurry up and arrest that Li Anren, hurry up, don't let him escape!"

"Yes!" The yamen servant took the order and ran away.

Li Xi closed the door, sat back, and continued: "Li Anren mentioned in his testimony that when he saw the fourth corpse floating, he was afraid of being implicated, so he ordered people to tie the corpse to stones and sink it into the bottom of the water. Afterwards, the Li Mansion began to be haunted by ghosts, and the first to die were the servants of the two sinking corpses. This easily reminded us of the female ghost's revenge, and we firmly believed that the fourth female corpse must be the ghost female ghost."

Everyone nodded, indeed.

"Afterwards, in the name of the tragic death of his wife and children, he pretended to be crazy and foolish, and people put him in the position of the victim, and they felt more sympathy for him, and they would not suspect that there was something wrong with him."

"In the end, he let out the wind again, willing to exchange all his family wealth for an expert to avenge his wife and children, attracting batch after batch of people. In the end? In the end, the biggest culprit, Li Anren himself, is alive and well."

Li Xi said while organizing his thoughts, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Anren was a serious suspect.

Ruan Ci's face changed: "Could it be that he is an evil cultivator, using this method to cultivate ghosts?"

The author has something to say: Do you think the real culprit is Li Anren?hey hey~
