Chapter 146 Mysterious and Strange Tales · Soul Seizing

When the picture returned to normal again, Su Ji found himself standing on a grand hall.Surrounded by a group of palace people and civil and military officials standing with their heads bowed respectfully.Then he looked down at himself. He was dressed in a purple official uniform with a crane patch embroidered on his chest. He looked like a high-ranking civil servant.

Su Ji lowered his head and raised his eyebrows lightly.Co-authoring this time, he has become an adult?

"This is the third time this month!"

In the main hall, the emperor was very angry and slammed the memorial, "Including the four people who died last month, this is already the seventh! The murderer is still at large, what are you doing?"

Just like the plots often performed in film and television dramas, in the next second, all the civil and military officials present all lowered their heads tremblingly: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Although I don't know what the plot of the second story is, Su Ji quickly got into the role and bowed down along with the others.

"If you can't find out the case, I won't talk about it. It's the monster who reported the case. Don't you want your heads?"

After speaking, I heard the emperor complaining about the incompetence of the ministers of punishment. After a while, he seemed to be tired, and finally stopped.

Sweeping around among the dark heads in front of him, the emperor said, "Su Ji."

Hearing the emperor call his name suddenly, Su Ji paused, stood up unhurriedly, followed the example of other ministers, walked to the front of the hall and bowed to the superior: "The minister is here."

"This case will be handed over to you, Dali Temple."

The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and immediately assigned a task to Su Ji: "I limit you to investigate this case within half a month. Otherwise, come and see me!"

Hearing the emperor's order, all the civil and military officials present heaved a sigh of relief, and then there were faint sighs and exclamations from under the court hall.

This case is not easy to handle, otherwise the Ministry of Criminal Justice would not have been able to solve the case for so long.Witnesses and material evidences are about everything, and the family members of other officials are also involved.No one was willing to pick up such a hot potato, so when everyone heard that the Holy Majesty asked Dali Temple Minister Su Ji to thoroughly investigate the case, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this unlucky guy was not themselves.

Fortunately, everyone couldn't help but look regretfully at the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple.

It's a pity that a young man with a bright future should lose his head because of this case.

Fortunately, he didn't marry his own daughter to him.

Su Ji didn't know the smallness in these ministers' hearts, so he bowed and said without changing his face: "The minister leads the decree."

The moment he received the order, the system went online again——

[Player "Su Ji" triggers the second part of the special ghost story dungeon "Mysterious Strange Story" "Seizing Soul"]

[Background of the story: In the past two months, there have been 7 cases of disappearance and death in the capital.The victims died in the same manner, male and female, of different ages, and with completely different identities. 】

[Task requirements: Solve the case within half a month. 】

Different from the first story, this time the game even gave him a clear task as soon as it came up, asking him to find out the truth within half a month.

I think of the fact that the black three Taoists escaped at the end of the last story, and the setting that "the three stories are related" mentioned at the beginning of the dungeon.Su Ji guessed that this case should also be related to the Black Three Taoists.However, games usually don't give him such an obvious answer, so the real culprit in this case may be someone else.

Thinking about it, the surrounding picture suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ji appeared on the bustling street from the resplendent and magnificent hall before, and the official uniform on his body has also changed into simple casual clothes.

Looking at the suddenly changing scene in front of him, Su Ji blinked, gradually understanding in his heart.

Just like a TV series, some irrelevant scenes will not be released at all, and the camera will only automatically transition with the protagonist and important plots.

Although the mission gave him half a month on the surface, in fact he didn't have that long time at all.

Thinking of the deadline the emperor gave him, Su Ji narrowed his eyes.

It seems that he has to hurry up.

"My lord, are you really going there?"

The voice of the attendant beside him instantly pulled Su Ji out of his thoughts.

Glancing in the direction the other party pointed, the three bright characters of "Chunfeng Building" instantly came into view.

Outside the door, a few beautifully dressed girls waved handkerchiefs and winked at a few passers-by——

"Master, let's play~"

Almost without the other party's explanation, Su Ji immediately understood what it was.

Good guy, the ancient version of Haitian Shengyan.

It's just that he was ordered to investigate the case, why did he come to this place in a blink of an eye?Could it be related to the case?

As if to answer his doubts, the entourage beside him immediately said: "It's just a flower girl who died this time. You can definitely send someone to arrest the people in this building to the government office for interrogation. Why go there yourself?"

Realizing that the identity of the seventh deceased was the flower girl in the Spring Breeze Building, Su Ji immediately said: "That would be too easy to scare the snake. And there may be many details missing."

Hearing this, the attendant suddenly nodded, "My lord is still thoughtful."

Su Ji's expression remained unchanged: "Lead the way."

Chunfeng Building is the largest flower building in the capital. Different from the general Qin Building and Chu Building, the girls here are not only good-looking, but also possess unique skills.Not to mention being good at singing and dancing, he is also proficient in poetry and Fu.Therefore, many dignitaries who like to be arty are willing to come here to have sex with beauties.

And in this Chunfeng Tower, the two most popular pillars are the two oirans here——Yao Huang and Wei Zi.

Just like their nicknames, Yao Huang is gentle and slender, Wei Zi is gorgeous, the two are so beautiful in their own way, and they are called "Twin Shus in the Spring Breeze", and they are in the limelight for a while.

But now, one of the two pillars of the Chunfeng Tower fell down.

The seventh person who died was Wei Zi, the oiran.

The body was found this morning.The place is in her own house.

When she was discovered, her body had already developed rigor.According to what Wu Zuo said, the time of death should have been between 9:11 and [-]:[-] pm last night.There was no sign of forced entry at the scene of the crime, and there was no obvious trauma on the body.

Like the deceased in the previous cases, Wei Zi had a grim face when he died, as if he had been greatly frightened.

In fact, the same is true of her death.

According to Wu's autopsy report, she was frightened to death.

If only a flower girl was scared to death, it would not make the emperor so angry.But before Wei Zi, there were already 6 dead people with the same symptoms in Beijing.Among them was even the only son of the Minister of Rites.This Minister of Rites is the husband-in-law of the eldest princess, and his son died so inexplicably, so he must investigate thoroughly.

Because 7 people died in just over a month, and the death was strange and the murderer was not found for a long time, so the folks began to rumor that this incident was done by monsters.

As for whether it is a monster or not... Su Ji can't say for sure.

After all, this is a strange novel, and it is not surprising that anything appears.

As soon as he entered the Chunfeng Tower, the old bustard greeted him.Before she could say that classic soliciting line, the entourage showed the official investigation document of Dali Temple.Seeing this, the smile on the old bustard's face froze immediately, and then he didn't dare to say more, and only respectfully invited Su Ji to a separate private room.

Looking at Mama Qian, the bustard who was a little nervous, Su Ji said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to ask you a few questions."

"Yes..." Although Qian's mother obediently agreed, she was still at a loss.

"Last night, when did Wei Zi go back to the house? Who has he come into contact with?"

Mother Qian thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, Wei Zi was ill, so he didn't see any guests, and stayed in the house all day. The three meals a day were brought in by the servant girl Xiao Cui."

Su Ji nodded, "That is to say, she didn't see anyone except the maid Xiaocui yesterday?"

Mother Qian: "No. I invited a doctor to see her at noon, and the doctor stayed for about fifteen minutes before leaving. After that, I let her rest in the room."

"Because it's not a serious illness, and there were many guests in the building yesterday, I asked Xiaocui and a few maids to take care of her. But who knows..." Mother Qian took out her handkerchief to cover her face and wept, as if she was a little sad.

Su Ji glanced at her and said, "Can you let me go to Wei Zi's room to take a look?"

Hearing this, Mother Qian stopped crying and nodded.

Following behind Mama Qian, Su Ji came to the second floor.

As the top oiran of Chunfeng Building, Wei Zi's residence is naturally excellent.The furniture in the room is very expensive at first glance.

It's just that the smell of incense in the house is a bit strong.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong fragrant wind blew, and the entourage's nose itch, and immediately sneezed several times.

"What the hell is this smell? So heavy?"

"This is Du Ruoxiang, Wei Zi's favorite incense. She likes to light and play with it when she has nothing to do." As she spoke, Mother Qian walked to the window as if she had thought of something, and prepared to open it for ventilation.

Seeing this, Su Ji immediately stopped: "No need. Go and help me call the maid Xiaocui here first. I have something to ask her."

Hearing this, Mother Qian nodded, and immediately said yes.

After Qian Mama left, Su Ji wandered around in the room in front of him.

On the surface, the whole house is nothing special.As stated in the case report, there were no signs of forced entry into the house.There is nothing unusual about it except that the incense is a bit strong.

However, as a top oiran with taste, wouldn't he be afraid of inhaling the guests by lighting such a strong incense?

Thinking about it, Su Ji walked to the incense burner and lifted the lid.

In an instant, a strong fragrance rushed over.

It's just over the top.

Covering his mouth and nose, Su Ji immediately put the lid back on.Just when he was about to look elsewhere, he caught a glimpse of a hairpin on the dressing table out of the corner of his eye.

It is not surprising that hair pins appear on women's dressing tables.The strange thing is the material of this hairpin.

It is neither gold nor silver nor jade.

But the most common wood.

Although there was a small peony flower carved on the wooden hairpin, compared with the other gorgeous jewelry in her makeup box, this hairpin was extremely simple, and even felt a bit out of place.

A person's preferences can be seen from his residence. He observed carefully just now, whether it is the clothes he wears or the decoration in the house, Wei Zi prefers the gorgeous and luxurious style.The most commonly used colors are either red or purple.

That being the case, shouldn't such a flamboyant character like her look down on such a simple hairpin?

Just when Su Ji was wondering about the origin of Wei Zi's hairpin, a follower's voice came from behind——

"My lord, the servant girl Xiao Cui has arrived."

Hearing this, Su Ji put down the hairpin.As soon as he turned his head, he saw a shocking scene that he never wanted to see again in this life.

I saw Cheng Xuyuan wearing two buns, bowing to him without changing his face: "My lord, my family is Xiaocui. I don't know why my lord is looking for my family?"
