Shuntian government office, mortuary room.
The dim skylight filtered through the dense holes in the wall, revealing corpses covered with burlap. Dark yellow bamboo lanterns were hung on the tops. The weak wicks inside were swaying, adding an unspeakable gloominess.
"Two adults, the body of the Western Region monk is here."
Words rang out.
"tread."
The door opened, and three people from the Yamen, including the policeman, the police officer, and Li Kui came in one after another.
"Deputy Li Qianhu, this is the body."
There was a pause in the words.
"It just smells a bit, please be patient."
Wu Zuo opened the linen cloth, revealing a swollen face covered with dirt and stains, and an unpleasant stench immediately filled the air.
"Gan, where did this guy die?"
Pei Ming immediately covered his mouth and nose, his disgust palpable, "Why does it stink so much?"
"Died in a smelly ditch in the streets of Nanshi."
The police officer immediately replied: "It is true that he died of drowning. The cause of death was strange. After we found out, we reported it to Beizhen Fusi as soon as possible."
"Stinky ditch!?"
Pei Ming frowned and said, "No wonder it smells so bad."
But the matter was important, so he still looked at the corpse carefully with his eyebrows lowered, but saw a peaceful smile on his lips.
It seemed like I saw something beautiful.
'In line with the first characteristic, the cause of this phenomenon is mold covered with black velvety material in the body. '
Information flashed through Pei Ming's mind instantly.
There seemed to be a green light passing through his eyes, and the flesh and skin of the corpse gradually became blurred, and the internal organs were visible, as well as the black velvet-like mold, which was like spots, gradually eroding every inch of flesh and blood.
"Hahaha."
Pei Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Li Qianhu, he was obtained without any effort. The cause of death of Lin Dongdong is exactly the same. It must have been done by the same evil spirit. Now let me find out his true identity."
'Um? '
Li Kui glanced at Pei Ming.
Does this Wudang Taoist disciple have any trump card?
"The soul is here, in the cave sky and underworld, listen to my orders..."
Pei Ming muttered something in his mouth, mana surged all over his body, he spread out his five fingers on his right hand, grabbed it straight into the void, and shouted: "Imperative!"
"..."
"call."
A faint sound of wind blew the corners of the cloth.
But other than that, nothing happened.
Several people looked directly at Pei Ming, who immediately looked embarrassed and retracted his palm angrily.
'He has strong self-esteem and is headstrong and proud, but he doesn't seem to have much official experience. '
On the side, Li Kui observed Pei Ming.
'Being able to become a member of the Qianhu household is partly due to his strength, and the rest should be his status in the Wudang Taoist sect. '
Immediately afterwards.
"Pei Qianhu, if you want to attract the soul of Monk Fan, you'd better give up."
Li Kui glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid he's gone out of his mind a long time ago."
"..."
Pei Ming opened his mouth slightly, but finally just clenched his fists without saying a word.
at the same time.
Li Kui's eyes were filled with thoughts.
He was certain that there was definitely something hidden in what Zhu Di said last night, especially the conversation with Lu Shidao. It was impossible for the emperor to make such an arrangement for no reason based on his scheming.
Let the Wudang disciples in the East Factory cooperate with the investigation.
Finally, what is the relationship between Zhu Di and Lu Shidao? Pei Ming, who is standing in front of him now, does he have any problems?
All kinds of doubts settled in his eyes.
immediately,
Li Kui looked at the corpse in front of him again, his eyes slightly rippling.
Fingers touching the body.
After drowning, his body temperature was indeed extremely cold. There were some ice cubes in Lin Dongdong's nasal cavity at that time, but there was no ice in this monk's body. The internal organs were also corroded and occupied by mold, and they looked exactly the same.
It's just...so weird.
But he couldn't tell where the strange point was.
'Um? ! '
at this time.
Li Kui's eyebrows were raised, and he was filled with surprise.
There is still a trace of unwillingness in this corpse.
In an instant, many speculations and thoughts passed through his mind, but the movements of his hands did not delay, and he pointed at Fan Seng's forehead.
Trace the soul!
…
…
Slightly spinning.
Suddenly, the scene around him changed.
But I saw that the space of obsession was filled with ambiguous pink mist and wisps, as if it was going to turn a hundred refined steel into finger-wrap-around softness.
Li Kui put his hands in his pockets, stood in the void, and looked around.
joy of spring.
On the high platform, a voluptuous dancer, dressed in red gauze, is looming;
guests coming and going;
The boy carrying the fruit plate;
There is no doubt that this is a brothel.
His eyes were fixed on the corner of the brothel.
Compared with the murky face lying in the morgue, the monk in red robes now looked somewhat handsome. His eyes frequently looked to the other side, and a stunningly beautiful face came into view. In eyes.
It made him feel thirsty and kept drinking.
'Beauty! woman? '
Seeing this, the corners of Li Kui's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This time I learned a lesson.
I never thought that this monk’s obsession would be a brothel girl, maybe a beautiful brothel girl?
Then here comes the problem.
Why was the soul eaten clean by evil spirits, but only this trace of obsession was left?
Coincidence, or a game?
On the other hand, the only thing questionable about Lin Dongdong is his Taoist and Buddhist beliefs.
Could it be that this foreign monk did not obey the precepts?
"Click."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from my ears.
Li Kui raised his eyes slightly and looked.
I immediately saw a man at the edge of the space, as if being erased by an eraser, first his head and then his body, disappearing in an instant.
It just shows that this trace of obsession is gradually being annihilated and will disappear soon.
Li Kui looked at the plaque hanging on the high platform.
Chunyue Tower.
immediately,
He left here.
…
…
Reality.
Li Kui opened his eyes.
What caught Pei Ming's eyes was Pei Ming's probing gaze, but he ignored it and turned his head to look at Yuan Bin, "Yuan Bin, do you know that there is a brothel in Beiping City called Chunyue Tower?"
"Ah, Chunyue Tower?"
Yuan Bin was stunned, not expecting that Li Kui would suddenly ask such a question, and immediately replied: "I recognize it, it's a slightly famous brothel."
'It seems to be in Peiping. '
Li Kui nodded slightly, "Let's go there together now."
"Okay, Chunyue Tower is quite far from the Yamen. Sir, it will be faster if we ride there." Yuan Bin said.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked straight out of the mortuary.
The footsteps faded away.
Only Pei Ming and the others were left staring, wondering what Li Kui had done inexplicably.
'hateful! These two guys are so arrogant! '
Pei Ming gritted his teeth.
He had sensed a trace of magic fluctuation just now. Li Kui must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have suddenly gone to the brothel.
Do you want to follow?
But if you don't follow, you may be dragged into the water without even knowing what happened.
'no! '
Thinking about it, Pei Ming looked at the Yamen policeman and ordered:
"You must guard this monk's corpse. Someone from Dongchang will come and take it away later. Before that, no mistakes are allowed!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
The police officer quickly handed over his hands.
Immediately afterwards.
Pei Ming disappeared instantly as his eyes flashed, but he quickly chased after Li Kui and Yuan Bin.
