The bedroom, which emitted the pungent smell of blood, became a little quiet again. Lan
"Master, I think Junior Brother Seventh's inference is very reasonable. Otherwise, why would that person kill these mortals in succession?"
After a long time, Mu Yao said this.
"A person from Jingcheng?"
Li Zhixia frowned and murmured something like this, as if she was thinking about who among the practitioners in Jingcheng could be the "Swallow".
"Master, that person may be a practitioner we have never known before."
At this time, Shu Guan said this again.
Li Zhixia nodded thoughtfully, and then said seriously: Lan
"If he only took action last time, as Master Sanmu, Master Su Jieshan has already had a tacit understanding and is not prepared to delve too deeply into it."
"But now he has taken action again, and it seems that he may take action again in the future, so now we have to find this person."
"If Junior Brother Seventh's inference is correct, it will be even harder for us to find that 'swallow'!"
The Sanli people lamented.
This seems to be a clueless thing indeed. The mysterious "Swallow" left almost no clues for tracing.
Even Master Miki's clairvoyance technique couldn't see him, and divination techniques naturally couldn't predict him. There were no traces left at the scene of the two murders. Except for the original inference from Master Miki that he should be a strong man above the fetal movement state, They are even currently unable to determine whether this "Swallow" is a boy or a girl.
The only trace left was the blood-stained paper swallow in Li Zhixia's hand. Lan
So how do they find the mysterious "swallow"?
Shu Guan's eyes flickered slightly.
This incident is actually somewhat similar to the last rat demon incident. Both can be regarded as serial killer incidents, except that one targets cats and the other targets humans.
Of course, there are still some differences. The rat demon is purely a pervert, and if this mysterious "Swallow" is, as I inferred, really motivated by the injustice in his heart, then his trajectory cannot be judged. The behavior pattern of a perverted killer is predicted.
There is no way to use a cat to lure out the rat demon like last time.
Shu Guan recalled the detective dramas or suspense mysteries he had watched in his previous life, and wondered if he could use ordinary people's methods of dealing with such matters now that the practitioners' methods were useless.
When ordinary people face this kind of thing, they don't have any clairvoyance or divination skills to use. They can only rely on reasoning like drawing out the cocoon. Lan
Shu Guan remembered a very telling sentence in a book he had read before. He had forgotten the title of the book, but the sentence still impressed him deeply:
Any crime in the world will leave traces, and the truth is hidden in those traces.
Shu Guan's gaze once again fell on the paper-folded swallow in Li Zhixia's hand. His heart moved, and then he said to Li Zhixia:
"Master, can you give me that swallow?"
Li Zhixia glanced at him and handed over the blood-stained paper swallow without asking why.
After Shu Guan turned it over in his hand, he didn't look at the folding technique of the paper swallow, but at the paper itself.
Paper swallows are made of folded ordinary paper pages. The paper surface is slightly rough but quite tough. There are many similar papers on the market. Lan
Then Shu Guan placed the paper swallow on the floor, then took out a turtle shell, placed it on the paper swallow, and took out a few ancient coins from his pocket.
Li Zhixia, Mu Yao, and Sang Liren immediately understood what he was planning to do, but at the same time they were even more confused.
"Seventh Junior Brother and Fifth Junior Brother, haven't they also used the paper swallow from last time to divine fortunes, but in the end nothing came out?"
Mu Yao asked in surprise.
Of course, Shu Guan does not think that he is more accurate in divination than Fifth Senior Brother An Zichun, although in fact he may be more accurate, because any Taoist magic that comes into his hands will show its original power and appearance several Yuanhui ago. .
But even so, you still have to abide by the restrictions of the art itself.
For example, if the secret is blocked or the opponent's realm is too high for you, it will still be difficult to use divination to get the results you want. Lan
"I am not a person who folds swallows, but I am trying to figure out where I bought this piece of paper."
Shu Guan smiled and pointed at the paper swallow on the ground and said:
"This is a very ordinary piece of paper. It should be bought casually in the market, so I want to figure out where this paper was bought from."
"We can't figure out the identity of the 'Swallow', but we can figure out where the paper came from. Maybe we can find some clues to his identity from the place where he bought the paper."
When Shu Guan finished speaking, Li Zhixia, Mu Yao, and Sang Liren all looked at Shu Guan with surprise in their eyes, and then looked at Shu Guan strangely.
Shuguan had already thrown the ancient coins in his hand on the turtle shell.
The ancient coins slipped from the turtle shell and whirled on the ground. Lan
A picture also appeared in front of Shu Guan's eyes.
The secret is revealed.
Although the "Swallow" concealed his identity, he really neglected to conceal the origin of this piece of paper!
Shu Guan saw a shop with a small and shabby facade. The word "Jiuliang Grocery Store" was written on the crooked wooden plaque above. There were many daily necessities in the shop, including pots, pans, needles, and thread. , there were matches and candles, and most importantly, on the shelf near the door, there were several stacks of paper.
The exact same paper as the paper used to fold this paper swallow.
The image appears and disappears.
The secret of heaven is inherently elusive and unpredictable. If you cannot seize the opportunity to experience it at that moment, then you will never be able to see this secret of heaven again in the future. Lan
Shu Guan closed his eyes and began to recall all the details in the flashing scene just now.
If you just rely on the name of a shop, finding such a small shop in Jingcheng is like finding a needle in a haystack.
But fortunately, Shu Guan still saw some scenes around the shop in the scene where the secret was revealed just now, but the scene flashed too fast, and he couldn't tell what the things he saw represented.
"Xiao Yi, reproduce the scene just now."
So Shu Guan said something in his mind.
Excluding that inexplicable understanding of Taoism, Shu Guan has never been a genius, but just a very ordinary person. Just like at this moment, in the scene where the secret was revealed just now, he had no time to see many details. Some of them were I can no longer recall the details.
But fortunately, he has Xiaoyi as his personal assistant. Lan
"Okay, brother."
With Xiaoyi's sweet response, the scene where the secret was revealed appeared again in Shuguan's mind.
Xiaoyi has naturally seen the scenes he has seen, and can reproduce them, so from this point of view, it is not without benefit for Xiaoyi to stay in his mind.
Then Shu Guan looked at the picture carefully again.
This time, he could slowly and carefully pay attention to every detail in the picture.
Soon, Shu Guan noticed the detail that moved his heart just now, but he couldn't help but grasp the inspiration.
It was a piece of glass on the window of the shop, and brilliant lights flashed on the glass from time to time. Lan
Just now, before Shu Guan could see clearly what those lights were, the heavenly scene had disappeared.
But now he finally sees clearly.
That's the reflection of the neon lights on the window glass!
And when Shu looked more carefully, he discovered that the flashing neon lights were actually a few words:
Yinle City.
Shu Guan immediately knew where this place was, so he opened his eyes.
"Seventh Junior Brother, is there any result?" Lan
When they were watching the divination just now, Li Zhixia and the others were waiting quietly. At this time, Mu Yao was the first to ask.
Shu Guan nodded and said:
"The divination is out. The paper for this origami swallow must have been bought at a store called Jiura Grocery Store."
"Kura Grocery Store? Where is this store? It's not easy to find such a store."
The Sangli man touched his nose and said.
Shu Guan looked at Li Zhixia and said slowly:
"That store is in Jiangyang, opposite Yinle City." Lan
"Yinle City, the hidden land!"
The Sangli people on the side let out a cry of surprise.
Li Zhixia's thick eyebrows suddenly frowned. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Those two people from Yinle City? This doesn't seem like something they would do. Even if everyone in the world is dead, as long as it doesn't delay their enjoyment, they won't blink an eye. How can they go out of their way to uphold justice? "
"Master, that 'Swallow' should not be a practitioner we know."
Shu Guan reminded him in a low voice.
"Furthermore, the Tianji hexagram just revealed the store in which the paper was purchased, but it does not necessarily indicate that the person who bought the paper is from Yinle City." Lan.
Li Zhixia said oh and nodded.
Then Shu Guan thought for a while and said:
"In addition to the grocery store we have to look at, we can also try to trace it from another aspect."
"Is that why that person gave photos of the scene to Begonia Newspaper twice?"
"If he wants to let everyone in Jingcheng know what he is doing, there are actually better and more choices. After all, Qiu Haitang Newspaper is just a third-rate newspaper. Why doesn't he choose Jingcheng Daily or Dajiang Evening News, which readers want? A lot more broadsheets?”
"Of course, this may just be an accidental choice, but it is also possible that the identity of the 'Swallow' in reality has something to do with the Begonia newspaper."
"So we might as well secretly monitor the Begonia Newspaper office, and use the dream spell on the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Maybe that 'Swallow' is actually related to him, but some things don't seem abnormal to ordinary people, but we Maybe you can find some clues if you look at it yourself." Lan
"By the way, there are also those original photos. You should also use them to make a divination to see where they were developed. This is an easier place to find clues than the store where you buy paper. You must know that developing photos is not like buying paper. So simple……"
Shu Guan's thoughts became more and more divergent, and then he started talking non-stop.
Initially, it seemed like there was no clue to find out the identity of the "Swallow". However, under his razor-sharp analysis, he discovered that there were actually many clues that could be traced.
But at a certain moment, Shu Guan suddenly stopped because he found that his master and two senior brothers were looking at him blankly.
"What's wrong?"
Shu Guan asked cautiously.
Li Zhixia looked at him and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. Lan
Mu Yao gave him a thumbs up in admiration and said with admiration:
"Seventh Junior Brother, your thoughtful thinking is really eye-opening, and even Senior Brother doesn't know how to describe it."
】
Shu Guan immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.
In fact, it was because he was thoughtful, and it did not mean that his IQ could defeat Li Zhixia, Mu Yao, and Sang Li. In fact, Shu Guan knew very well that his knowledge and wisdom were definitely not as good as those of his master and senior brothers.
It's just that my master and senior brothers have been accustomed to relying on the power of Taoism before. Unlike me who has just practiced for a year, I can still think about problems in the way of ordinary people.
But there is nothing wrong with them. Most of the time, they can simply use Taoism to achieve their goals, so why waste their brains like me.
Lan
