Next, Gu Xu asked the servants of the Fan family and the guests who were having a wedding banquet that night to question them one by one.
But these people didn't give Gu Xu much useful information.
According to their description, after Fan Zhou left the banquet on his wedding night, he seemed to have evaporated out of thin air in the yard, leaving no trace anymore.
"There's something strange." Gu Xu stretched out his hand to hold his hat, thinking silently.
Use metaphysics when you are in trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Xu took out the three copper coins he carried with him from his pocket, tossed them three times in a row, and got the "Zhen" hexagram.
According to the Bagua azimuth map of the day after tomorrow, "Zhen" is due east.
"Let's go to the east side of the county and look for it!" Gu Xu turned his head and said to the families of the victims around him.
Hearing this, the family members were all stunned——
Are the officials from the Exorcism Department so casual in solving crimes these days? How can I get a clue by tossing a coin?
This feels very unreliable!
However, due to Gu Xu's extraordinary status, they did not dare to ask. They only dared to follow Gu Xu step by step, leaving Fan's house and walking towards the east.
…………
Next, every time Gu Xu came to a fork in the road, he would take out copper coins and calculate the direction under the suspicious eyes of others.
Unknowingly, they gradually left the lively center of the county and came to the remote and cold suburbs.
There are few people here, only endless wilderness and a few sparse houses can be seen.
At this moment, the mistress of the Qin family suddenly pointed forward and shouted in surprise:
"Why is there an extra house in this place for no reason? I didn't even see it when I came here a month ago!"
Gu Xu looked in the direction she pointed.
He saw that there was indeed a two-story house at the end of the road.
The gate of this house faces a straight road with many trees planted on both sides.
In Feng Shui, the door is the air intake port of the house.
If the door faces the road, evil spirits will rush towards you, causing bad luck and even bloody disasters.
This is considered a "road rush evil", also known as a "gun evil", which is an extremely dangerous pattern.
Of course, if the person living in this house is not a human being, it would be a different matter.
So Gu Xu made a bold guess: the ghost who kidnapped Fan Zhou was probably hiding in this room.
"I'm going to take a look at that house," Gu Xu said calmly to the people around him, "Just stay here and don't move around."
Mrs. Fan was worried about her son. She took two steps forward and bowed to Gu Xu. She said sincerely, "Sir, please let the common people go with you! I want to know if my son -"
"——I am here to solve the case," Gu Xu shook his head and interrupted her indifferently, "If there is really an evil spirit in there, I can't care about your life."
After that, he walked straight towards the house at the end of the road without giving it a second thought.
Mrs. Fan looked at his retreating figure and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Before this, she had once doubted whether Gu Xu, an exorbitantly young official from the Exorcism Department, could solve this strange case.
But now, as an anxious mother, she only wants to silently pray for Gu Xu, hoping that he can clear the fog, see the truth, and find her son as soon as possible...
…………
After a while, Gu Xu arrived at the two-story house at the end of the road.
He stretched out his hand and knocked three times on the door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Who's knocking on the door?" A young man's voice came from inside the house.
His words were mixed with gasping sounds, as if he was doing strenuous exercise.
"It doesn't matter who I am," Gu Xu replied, "I'm just here to bring you a message."
"A word?" The young man's voice sounded a little puzzled.
"Fan Zhou, have you had enough fun here?" A faint smile appeared on Gu Xu's face, "Your mother asked you to go home and get married."
"boom!"
After a moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
I saw the young man standing in the room with a frown on his face. He was disheveled and his face was red. Not only was he not wearing a belt, but he was only wearing one shoe.
Apparently he came in a hurry after hearing Gu Xu's voice.
This person is the protagonist of the case - Fan Zhou, who has been missing for half a month.
At this moment, Fan Zhou looked at the black "Qi Yao Suit" Gu Xu was wearing and felt extremely puzzled.
In his impression, there were no such young officials in the Juxian Exorcism Department.
"Sir...Sir, you may have misunderstood," Fan Zhou said, "I married Miss Qin half a month ago, and now we live together and live a happy life."
Living with Miss Qin?
According to the Qin family's parents, doesn't Qin Xiangyun stay in her room and sulk every day recently?
But why did another Miss Qin appear here?
Gu Xu smiled.
He glanced at Fan Zhou's rosy face and felt that the case was becoming more and more interesting.
"Is your wife... called Qin Xiangyun?"
"yes!"
At this moment, a soft and sweet voice suddenly came from upstairs in the house: "Mr. sir, when will you get rid of that annoying guest? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Don't worry, madam, I'll be here right away!" Fan Zhou immediately replied with a smile on his face.
Then he turned his head and spoke very quickly to Gu Xu who was standing outside the door: "Master of the Exorcist Department, it's getting late now, so you'd better go back early! I won't see you off!"
Gu Xu said with a smile: "No rush, no rush. I heard that Mr. Fan's wife is a famous beauty. I have always been very curious and want to meet her in person."
After saying that, he pushed Fan Zhou aside, stepped into the house, and walked towards the stairs.
Hearing his words, Fan Zhou suddenly froze on the spot, and then a burst of anger surged in his heart: "Are all officials in Daqi such bastards now? They openly expressed their interest in other people's wives? Could it be that they want to seize other people's wives?"
"The Great Qi has become so rotten!"
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu saw Fan Zhou's "wife" on the stairs.
He had to admit, this was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his life.
The jade bones are hidden in the icy muscles, the collar of the shirt exposes the breasts; the willow eyebrows are covered with emerald green, and the bright eyes are shining with silver stars.
It can be described as charming and charming.
No wonder Fan Zhou can be immersed in the gentle land and refuse to go home.
At the same time, Fan Zhou hurried over, pointed at Gu Xu and shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to touch my wife!"
But the woman seemed not to see her husband at all.
She smiled like a flower and looked at Gu Xu with obsessed eyes, as if Gu Xu was her real lover.
Even though she just said "annoying guest"...
But the moment she saw Gu Xu, she had already forgotten these words.
"Master, it's getting late now, why don't you spend the night with me in the humble house?" She leaned into Gu Xu's ear and whispered in a voice that was so ecstasy that it hurt her bones.
Gu Xu immediately took two steps back and kept his distance from her.
At the same time, he cursed secretly in his heart: The evil spirit-calling body!
