ghost

After listening to Gu Wenkai's introduction of Chen Ming's identity, Fang Xia was still surprised, never expecting that there is such a department in the country.Geng Zhongzhi and Zou Wumang, however, looked at the teacup in front of them indifferently, and the other carelessly pulled the gauze wrapped around their injured right hand, expressing the attitudes of the families and sects in the Xuanshu circle to the State Bureau of Special Criminal Cases. Show it.

In the competition between sects and aristocratic families in the Xuanshu circle, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Under such a situation, no one likes a third party to come out to meddle, let alone try to manage their roles.Even if we let go of the dispute over power and status, taking a step back, most of the people in this special criminal case bureau are ordinary people, and there are few capable people. A fringe character who can't be ranked at the bottom.Who can accept this practice of laymen leading experts and incompetent and low-level management of the upper elite?

However, Geng Zhongzhi did not lose Gu Wenkai's face too much.

Although Gu Wenkai became a policeman and did not hang out in the mystical arts circle, he came from the Gu family, the first among the four major families, and was a serious third young master.The Geng family used to have a good relationship with the Gu family, but after the previous heir Geng Bowen passed away, the two families became estranged, but they are both aristocratic families, so there is really no need to lose face too much in this situation.

Geng Chongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Ming who was diagonally opposite. That captain Chen was probably addicted to cigarettes, and his eyes frequently turned to the cigarette case on the table.If it weren't for the fact that no one was smoking, he would have smoked happily.

"I have two nephews who should be outside the teahouse. I'll call them in too. Nephew Gu, don't you mind?" Geng Zhongzhi looked away and said to Gu Wenkai.

"Of course." Gu Wenkai said he had no objection.

Not long after Geng Zhongzhi made the phone call, Geng Lijie and Geng Chaolin entered the private room one after the other.

Fang Xia looked at the pair of Geng family brothers, both of them had water stains from the rain, and suddenly lost their temper.Still following him on this rainy day, he suddenly felt sympathy for them.

Geng Lijie and Geng Chaolin sat down beside Geng Zhongzhi, and the topic officially entered the topic.

Chen Ming took out the tablet from the bag on the table, turned it on, opened a folder inside, and handed it to Fang Xia, "These are the photos and videos of the crime scene."

Fang Xia took the tablet computer handed over by Chen Ming with a dazed expression, not understanding why he showed him the crime scene.

Seeing Fang Xia's perplexed expression, Geng Zhongzhi slowly explained, "Team Chen invited me and Zou Wumang to see the scene yesterday, and we helped to confirm that the formation was not a trick of ordinary people. It was painted under Wu Changsong's body." The magic circle should be written by Gui Zongmen. Gui Zongmen was a prosperous sect a hundred years ago. They are good at ghost Gu, collecting wandering souls, letting them devour each other, and training evil ghosts. Later, they At the beginning, they were not satisfied with ordinary wandering souls, so they used cruel means to hunt and kill living people, turning their souls into ghosts, and making them into powerful enslaving ghosts."

"This practice of Guizongmen finally aroused public anger, and was attacked by people in the circle, and finally wiped out. However, more than 20 years ago, the descendants of Guizongmen's remnant party tried to rebuild Guizongmen, using more cruel means Back out of the arena. Because we are both from the family of slavery ghosts, our Geng family took over to deal with the remnants of the ghost sect, and the previous patriarch of our Geng family, Geng Zhongxuan, led the team to pursue the people of the ghost sect." Geng Zhongzhi said, looking at Fang Xia Fu Jin beside him said, "At that time, I asked Mr. Fu Jin to go. Mr. Fu Jin should have seen the magic circle of the Ghost Sect, so we want to ask Fu Jin to confirm it now."

"So it wasn't for me to see..." Fang Xia muttered, moved the tablet in her hand to Fu Jin's side, and leaned over to her, touching her head with Fu Jin, sliding the screen, looking at the photos on it .

The photos were taken in the hotel room.

In the photo, Wu Changsong was lying on the floor next to the bed in a large character shape, with a circular magic circle drawn under his body that could enclose his entire body inside.The magic circle is reddish brown, which is the color of dried and coagulated blood.

Wu Changsong was only wearing a pair of underwear, and his bony body was covered with wounds.There was a fruit knife at his hand, and the wound should have been cut with that fruit knife.The wound was a little white, almost bleeding out.

"The blood used by the magic circle on the ground has been identified and compared by the police who conducted the on-site investigation in City C. It was Wu Chang who gave his own blood." Chen Ming helped explain.

Most of his eyes fell on Fang Xia, and occasionally passed Fang Xia to the empty seat on the other side of Fang Xia.He knew that there was a ghost sitting there, and Gu Wenkai had warned him before he came.Geng Zhongzhi's speech and behavior just now also revealed this information.

Chen Ming quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on the hem of his trousers, and said calmly in his heart, isn't it just sitting on the same table with a ghost?In his current position, in the future, there will be more opportunities to be in the same room with ghosts.

Chen Ming continued: "The wound was cut out with the fruit knife on the ground. Judging from the fingerprints on it, Wu Changsong did it himself. The hotel corridor surveillance also proved that no one had entered Wu Changsong's room before his death." The room. His apprentice lived in the room next to him, but during the time of the incident, his apprentice didn’t hear any noise from the next door before the hotel waiter delivered food and found something was wrong. Wu Changsong didn’t have any drug reaction in his body. ..."

So, someone manipulated Wu Changsong, let him slash the blood on his body, draw a magic circle on the floor of the room with the blood from his body, and then let him lie down on it?

Fang Xia turned the photo backwards, it was the photo of the magic circle under the corpse that Wu Chang sent.

Fang Xia raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Jin, and seeing that he saw him almost, she continued to slide back.As soon as the next photo came into view, Fang Xia shook his hand and almost threw the tablet in his hand.

This is also a photo of Wu Changsong lying on the magic circle, but it is a recent photo of his face—the face is bluish-white, with the peculiar gloomyness of corpses, and the corners of his mouth with a sparse beard, but it is strange. Up, revealing a creepy smile.

Fu Jin raised her hand and placed it on the screen of the tablet, blocking Fang Xia's view.

[Don’t read if you’re uncomfortable. ]

"No, I was just shocked when I saw it suddenly." Fang Xia pulled the tablet out of Fu Jin's palm.

Chen Ming stretched his neck and glanced at the tablet screen, "Oh, I was also taken aback when I saw this one before."

At the end of the photo, Fu Jin gave Fang Xia the answer without asking Fang Xia to click on the video.

[It is the soul fetching technique of the ghost sect. ]

"The soul fetching technique of the ghost sect?" Fang Xia returned the tablet to Chen Ming, and subconsciously repeated it.

"A technique that forcibly extracts a person's soul." Geng Zhongzhi said, "I heard that the soul-taking technique relies on a magic circle, so the magic circle drawn with blood is actually a soul-hunting technique... "

"However, the practice of manipulating a person's body, asking him to use his own blood to draw a magic circle, and then make people lie on it is too wicked." Zou Wumang showed a disgusted expression.

"This is in line with the usual style of Guizongmen." Geng Zhongzhi took a sip from his teacup and said to Chen Ming, "It is confirmed that Wu Changsong's death was the work of the remnants of Guizongmen. The reason for their action is still unknown. It may not be an easy task to find out the people from the Ghost Sect. Captain Chen, do you have any other clues from the police?"

"Coincidentally, there really are." Gu Wenkai said, stood up, and took out two small objects wrapped in yellow symbols from his pocket.

Two small objects wrapped in yellow talismans, one spherical like a lychee, and the other flat like a strip.Gu Wenkai opened the spherical object first, and as the yellow paper was peeled off, a familiar keychain appeared in front of Fang Xia.

A keychain with a bronze sculpture of an eagle.Fang Xia blinked, isn't this the little ghost attached to the mink coat, the evil-attracting object found in the murdered villa?

"This is an evil thing that Fang Xia and I discovered in City S." Gu Wenkai smiled at Fang Xia, then pinched the eagle's head and turned it down like opening a bottle cap. The eagle's body was hollow inside, and Gu Wenkai With a backhand, he poured out a piece of paper pasted in a strip.Unfold the note, and there are two rows of runes written in scarlet ink, "My elder brother has studied these runes, and it has been confirmed that they are from the Ghost Sect."

Geng Zhongzhi nodded slightly.

The Gu family is good at formation pattern spells, and the talisman is a kind of pattern spells, so the appraisal results given by the Gu family will naturally not be wrong.And it was Gu Wenkai's eldest brother, Gu Yin, the heir of the Gu family, who did the appraisal.

Gu Wenkai briefly talked about the origin of the keychain. Hu Jia refused to tell the truth before, and said that he bought it from a roadside stall. However, there are a lot of evil things in the villa, so it is not very reliable to say that the stall is moved. .Gu Wenkai checked Hu Jia's series of personal contacts to the bottom, and finally found a way to buy evil-repelling items.

"On this online store, after explaining the needs to the seller in private, first use another channel to transfer the money to them, and they will arrange the delivery when the money arrives."

Gu Wenkai swipe the mobile phone that opened the online store page in the direction of Geng Chaolin. After Geng Chaolin caught it, he took out his mobile phone and wrote down the online store.

"There is one more thing I'm not sure about. This is the magic weapon for raising ghosts that I got from Wu Changsong's apprentice. I haven't had time to take it back to show my elder brother. I researched it myself and think it looks like a talisman from the Ghost Sect. .” Gu Wenkai picked up the small strip-shaped object left on the table, and opened the yellow talisman, revealing a long trapezoidal copper piece about the size of an index finger inside, with embossed talismans printed on the copper piece.

"I picked up the copper piece that Wu Chang gave away, and it's the same as this one. I..."

Before Fang Xia could finish speaking, Zou Wumang had already charged the case, "This magic weapon cannot be related to the Ghost Sect!"

"How do you know that this magic weapon has nothing to do with the Ghost Sect?" Geng Zhongzhi raised his eyelids and looked at Zou Wumang opposite.

"Because this is our Xuanyong sect's magic tool for raising ghosts, which was improved by my uncle!" Zou Wumang looked at Gu Wenkai with a gloomy gaze, "The aristocratic family is worthy of being an aristocratic family. Plant it for our sect."

The author has something to say:

-

Zou Wumang: You bully the few with the more!You framed!

Geng Zhongzhi: Nothing.

Gu Wenkai: Uh, I'm just telling the truth.And when I said I was not sure, the words I used were very rigorous.

Zou Wumang: Fang Xia, you criticize!

Fu Jin: No time.

Fang Xia: I eat melons, you continue.
