The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward.
The warriors couldn't help but frown.
It’s not that I’m doubting Qin Shaoyou, but I’m worried: “The incense given to Jiutian Demon Patriarch has gone out. Is it because the Patriarch refuses to help us? Or is the case involving the vampire too difficult to handle?”
When Zhu Xiucai heard the discussion, he helped find an excuse and said: "I guess these three incense sticks are damp. Lao Zhang, please bring three more incense sticks to the adults. You must choose the good ones, and don't hold the damp incense sticks again." .”
Zhang Lishi said "Hello" and immediately went to pick out the incense.
The other strongmen breathed a sigh of relief:
"It turns out that the incense was damp. I asked why the incense went out inexplicably."
"I was shocked. I thought it was Jiutian Demon Patriarch who refused to accept our incense."
Only Qin Shaoyou remained silent.
Because he knew that the three sticks of incense just now were not affected by moisture.
He is gifted with [bright eyesight]. If there is something wrong with Xiang, he won't be able to tell?
Qin Shaoyou looked at the statue of Jiutiandangmo Patriarch and murmured in his heart: Could it be that Jiutiandangmo Patriarch refused to accept my incense? It shouldn’t be, he took it all last time. Although there was blood and tears in the back, it was not caused by the Black Lotus Sect, and it had nothing to do with me...
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Lishi picked out three new sticks of incense, lit them and handed them over.
Qin Shaoyou also wanted to try it again, so he took the incense, bowed again, and then put the incense into the incense burner.
This time he didn't turn around, just stared at the three incense sticks in the incense burner.
After a few breaths, the three incense sticks that were burning well suddenly went out again.
The warriors who had just breathed a sigh of relief couldn't help but whisper, wondering what was going on.
Qin Shaoyou looked up again at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
Do you always do this on purpose?
At this time, Zhang Lishi silently lit three incense sticks and handed them to him.
Qin Shaoyou took the incense blankly and looked at Zhang Lishi.
Zhang Lishi also looked at him.
Qin Shaoyou really wanted to ask Zhang Lishi whether he could do things. At this time, what was he doing so diligently and actively?
What should I do if the incense goes out again? How do I explain this?
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, Monk Ma came to the hall with two strong men.
He didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the hall, and reported to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, we have escorted your parents to the backyard."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Qin Shaoyou took the opportunity to walk to Monk Ma and handed him the three incense sticks in his hand.
"Go and put incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch and ask him to bless our interrogation smoothly."
"Okay." Although Monk Ma didn't understand why he was asked to offer incense, he still nodded and agreed. He took the incense and worshiped the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
Everyone stared at the incense burner.
This made Monk Ma feel a little shy under everyone's gaze after he turned around: "What are you looking at me for?"
No one paid attention to him, everyone was watching to see if the three incense sticks would go out again.
After waiting for a long time, the incense did not go out. After the slowly rising smoke, it was sucked into the body by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
"Great." The warriors breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really targeting me! Qin Shaoyou looked at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, his eyes full of resentment.
You obviously accepted my incense last time, why did you change your mind?
The statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch looked down at him. The ancient well was unrippled and unchanged.
The warriors couldn't help but discuss, why did the first two attempts to burn incense fail, but the monk succeeded when he changed his horse?
Qin Shaoyou made an excuse: "Maybe it's because I got some of the vampire's blood on my hands when I brought the vampire back, so I was disliked by the founder of Jiutian Demon."
This reason barely made sense, and no one had any doubts.
Only Qin Shaoyou knows that things will not be so simple.
The statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch refused to accept his incense, probably for other reasons.
Is it because of his status as a time traveler? Or is it because of the mysterious recipe in his head?
It can't be because he eats monsters, right? The other people in the Demon Suppression Division also ate less.
Zhu Xiucai greeted everyone at this time: "Okay, don't discuss it anymore. Since the founder of Jiutian Demon has accepted our incense, let's interrogate the vampire quickly and don't waste any more time. Old Liao, come on."
Liao Lishi responded, and took out the torture tools specially used to deal with ghosts that he had just borrowed from the torture chamber, and deliberately placed them in front of the vampire to scare it.
The powerful men stopped talking.
Qin Shaoyou also suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked to the vampire, raised his hand and pointed at Yan Liu, who was stiff beside him, and said, "Who asked you to kill him?"
The vampire just stared at Qin Shaoyou fiercely and said nothing.
Qin Shaoyou asked a few more questions, but the vampire didn't speak, whether it was through coercion or inducement.
Zhu Xiucai suggested: "Sir, this vampire's mouth is quite tough. How about torture? Let's see if it can still hold its teeth and keep silent after being tortured for a while."
Qin Shaoyou was waiting for his answer when the sound of footsteps suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, several people appeared in the hall.
The leader was an acquaintance - Xue Qingshan's confidant, General Banner Xu Ba'an.
Xu Baan went to take over Wujiapu. After secretly bringing the Wu family's people and property back to the Demon Suppression Division, he has been responsible for interrogating everyone in the Wu family and investigating the forces involved behind the Wu family.
Xue Qingshan led the team to Mianyuan County, but he did not go with him, but stayed at the Demon Suppression Division Shoujia.
He came here now because he heard from his subordinates that Qin Shaoyou had caught a ghost and came back for trial, so he came to see the specific situation and see if there was anything he could do to help.
"Sir Xu." Qin Shaoyou bowed his hands in salute.
Xu Ba'an smiled and waved his hands enthusiastically: "Hi, what's your name, Mr. Xu? I have a good relationship with your brother-in-law, and I'm a few years older than you. You can just call me Brother Xu."
Because the vampire was tied up like a rice dumpling by the ghost chain and the ink rope, Xu Baan didn't recognize it at first glance, but he recognized the deceased Yan Liu, and his expression suddenly changed.
"The person who died was Yan Liu? This is murder and silence!"
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly asked: "How did Brother Xu know that he was killing people and silencing them?"
Xu Ba'an said: "We have been interrogating people from Wujiabao these days, and they have produced a list of officials with interests, including Yan Liu. We suspect that there is a higher level behind Yan Liu They didn’t rush to arrest him, they just sent people to investigate secretly.”
"Have you found anything?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
Xu Baan shook his head: "No, Yan Liu's behavior these days is the same as before, no different, and he didn't see anyone. Yesterday, he suddenly became very happy, but before we could find out the reason for his happiness, he died. .”
Having said this, Xu Baan turned his attention to the rice dumpling-shaped vampire: "Yan Liu was killed by this ghost? Hey, is this... a vampire?"
He finally saw clearly what the vampire looked like.
Qin Shaoyou reported to Xu Baan what happened before and after Yan Liu's death.
After listening, Xu Baan said nothing else, pointed at the vampire and said, "So it turns out that the vampire you want to interrogate is this vampire?"
Qin Shaoyou heard something wrong in his tone and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Do any of you understand ghost language?" Xu Ba'an asked, his eyes scanning Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others, as if he was surprised that Qin Shaoyou had talents who could speak foreign languages.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others shook their heads.
"I don't even know Mandarin fluently, so how can I understand any nonsense?"
"When I praise myself for being invincible, my wife always calls me nonsense... Does this count?"
Xu Ba'an shook his head and laughed: "If you don't understand nonsense, why are you trying to judge a vampire? This vampire was created by a fetus that has not yet been born, and cannot understand human speech at all. If you don't understand nonsense, you are not talking like a chicken and a duck. Well!"
Only then did Qin Shaoyou and others understand that the vampires had been ignoring them, not because they were stubborn, but because they simply didn't understand what they said?
Surprised, Qin Shaoyou asked: "Since the vampire cannot understand human language, how can the person who raises it communicate with it?"
Xu Baan raised his hand and pointed: "Did you see the talisman on the vampire's forehead? The person who raised it controlled it through that talisman."
Qin Shaoyou's expression changed: "Will the vampire know that it has been captured by us through this talisman?"
"That's not true." Xu Ba'an said, "But vampires can use secret techniques to summon and drive vampires. If the vampires don't respond, vampires will definitely become suspicious."
Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xu Ba'an: "Is there anyone in the Demon Department of Luocheng Town who understands ghost language?"
"Of course there is..."
Before Xu Ba'an finished speaking, the vampire who was tied up like a rice dumpling suddenly began to struggle violently after being quiet for a while.
The expression was painful and ferocious.
Dark red blood continuously seeped out from between the ghost chain and the ink pipe line, and the smell was pungent, instantly forming a large pool of blood on the ground.
"What's going on?" Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
Zhu Xiucai squinted his eyes and said, "The vampire is menstruating? Such a large amount means it's metrorrhagia!"
