The small paper crane charm is difficult to detect under the cover of darkness.
But that was for ordinary people. Qin Shaoyou, who had [bright eyesight], saw the Paper Crane Talisman flying into the Demon Suppression Department at the first moment.
"Liao Yaosuo and the others finally sent back the news."
When Qin Shaoyou saw this, he felt a little relieved.
He has been waiting for news about Liao Yaosuo and others, fearing that something might happen to them.
Now it seems that the worries have not occurred.
Qin Shaoyou raised his hand, and an invisible stream of blood immediately surged out, using the method of retrieving objects from the air to pull the paper crane talisman in front of him.
He nodded Zhihe's head, poured blood into it to activate the runes, and the voice message recorded by Liao Yaosuo was immediately transmitted from Zhihe's mouth.
"Sir, your judgment is correct. There is really something wrong with this wedding team..."
Liao Yaosuo used the paper crane talisman to tell the story of what they had discovered after following them all the way.
On the way to follow, Liao Yaosuo and the others noticed something strange about this wedding team.
Because along the way, except for the foreign business escort team, most of the locals in Mianyuan County saw this wedding team and stayed away with expressions of awe.
Not to mention coming up to congratulate and please Qian, no one even came close to watch the fun.
And this wedding team finally took the bride to a village called Shuanggui Village below Tai'an Town.
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, his expression condensed slightly, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart: "It's Tai'an Town again? Isn't this wedding team also related to the case on the third day of March?"
But he quickly denied this speculation: "Probably not. These two things are incomparable. It should be just a coincidence."
During this process, the Paper Crane Talisman continued to play the voice message recorded by Liao Yaosuo - it did not have a pause function.
According to Liao Yaosuo's story, after they followed Shuanggui Village, they found that the people in the village had a very indifferent attitude towards the wedding team.
Like the locals they met on the road, the villagers in Shuanggui Village did not come forward to congratulate them after seeing the wedding procession.
Even if there are children who want to join in the fun, their parents or people in the village will immediately twist their ears and drag them away.
The wedding team did not send the bride to a certain home in Shuanggui Village. Instead, they carried the sedan directly into a temple at the west entrance of the village.
The temple may not look big, but it is very popular.
Liao Yaosuo and the others investigated from a distance and found that there was a statue of a god in the temple.
It has the body of a dragon, wears a crown and robes, but is actually a Dragon King.
After the bride was sent to the Dragon King Temple, the wedding ceremony was held immediately, and the firecrackers were fired in a lively manner.
But none of the villagers in Shuanggui Village went to participate.
In the Dragon King Temple, there was no mention of setting up banquets to entertain the villagers and elders.
Liao Yaosuo and the others did not dare to get too close for fear of alerting the enemy. They only investigated from a distance, but they also discovered some strange things that happened during the wedding.
For example, there is no groom, and the bride performs a one-man show from beginning to end.
She went to church alone and drank a glass of wine alone...
At the same time, judging from the bride's reaction, it doesn't seem like she did it voluntarily.
Although she did not cry or struggle, she was like a puppet on strings, completely controlled by the matchmaker, completing this series of wedding ceremonies.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others gathered around Qin Shaoyou, listening to the news from Liao Yaosuo.
Hearing this, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows and marveled.
"Let's just let the wedding take place in the temple, but the groom didn't come forward during the whole process? This is too abnormal! Hey, do you think it's possible that the groom is not seriously ill, but has died a long time ago? Is this a sign of embarrassment? A dead person finds a wife and gets married in the underworld?"
This guess was immediately recognized by many people.
Others are complaining about the bad habit of underworld marriage: "I, a strong living person like me, have not found a wife. These stupid men and women actually arrange wives for dead people. What a waste!"
Monk Ma clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "Amitabha, ghost marriages are against the laws of nature and against human nature, and must be prohibited!"
Zhu Xiucai had a different view.
He squinted his eyes and said, "Why do you all think this is a ghost marriage? Just because the groom is not here? But have you ever thought that the groom is actually at the scene all the time?"
Just now, he had asked Monk Ma the whole story and knew what the wedding team was about.
As soon as his words came out, many people were surprised and stunned.
"Is the groom at the scene?"
"But didn't Liao Yaosuo say that they didn't see the groom at the scene?"
"Xiucai, did you discover something?"
Everyone urged Zhu Xiucai to stop showing off and tell him his findings quickly.
But before Zhu Xiucai could speak, someone jumped in and asked him, "Do you suspect that the groom is the Dragon King enshrined in the temple?"
Because the person who spoke was Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai not only did not dare to have any objections, but also had to nod and bow his head and praise: "Your Excellency is wise! I suspect that these people are doing the 'He Bo's Marriage' thing and arranging a marriage for the Dragon Prince. Object, to pray for rain to relieve drought!”
Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Your suspicion is not impossible."
Just now, when everyone was asking Zhu Xiucai who the groom was, Qin Shaoyou was listening carefully to Liao Yaosuo's follow-up report.
According to Liao Yaosuo, after the weird wedding, they disguised themselves as traveling merchants and found a villager in the field outside Shuanggui Village to inquire about the situation.
The villager in Shuanggui Village said that the reason why the Dragon King Temple is so popular is that since the drought broke out, all the people who went to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense and ask for water could get water from wells and rivers when they returned home.
Although the water obtained each time is not much, it is only enough for a family to drink for two or three days, and there is a strange smell in the water, but in this water shortage season, it is enough to drive people crazy.
That's why people from all over the country, and even other towns, flock to the Dragon King Temple in Shuanggui Village to burn incense and worship the gods for water.
It was after hearing the news from Liao Yaosuo that Qin Shaoyou felt that this weird wedding might actually be the marriage of the Dragon King.
And when he saw the wedding team, he had the idea of 'eating', and it was very likely that he was heading towards the efficacious 'Dragon Prince'.
I just don't know, what kind of existence is the 'Dragon Prince' who took advantage of the severe drought to develop believers and steal incense?
Is it a water snake? Catfish spirit? Or something else?
It can't really be a dragon, right?
In fact, Liao Yaosuo and others also doubted whether this wedding might be related to the Dragon King Temple.
They wanted to conduct further investigation, but they were afraid that they might alert the wedding team and the mysterious groom.
So after reporting the findings, Liao Yaosuo asked Qin Shaoyou for instructions whether to conduct an in-depth investigation.
After Qin Shaoyou thought for a moment and had a brief discussion with Zhu Xiucai and others, he took out a paper crane talisman drawn by Brother Tu and sent a message:
"Old Liao, you have completed your mission very well. What you have to do next is to continue to secretly keep an eye on the wedding team, the bride and the Dragon King Temple, and do not take any additional actions for the time being. I will send Zhu Xiaoqi over until dawn, and he will Let me lead you in further investigation.”
Zhu Xiucai's latent and investigative abilities are among the best among the people under Qin Shaoyou. With him in charge of the investigation, Qin Shaoyou can rest assured.
The first task tonight is to deal with the matter of the human-skinned ghost claiming to be wronged.
As for the matter of "Dragon Prince Marrying a Wife", it won't be too late to keep an eye on it first and wait until dawn to deal with it.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou did not forget to tell Liao Yaosuo:
"You must always pay attention to demons, especially the bride. If there is a demon coming out to harm the bride tonight, decisively rescue them and shoot a cloud-piercing arrow as a warning! I know you don't have enough manpower, so I will dispatch a team The troops will go over to assist you..."
After finishing the instructions, Qin Shaoyou released the paper crane talisman and ordered a few night watchmen to be fully armed and rush to Shuanggui Village to obey Liao Yaosuo's command.
As soon as they saw off the night watchmen, Qin Shaoyou and the others heard a blood-curdling, beautiful scream coming from the direction of the human-skinned ghost drum.
Cui Youyou didn't brag, he really brought out the evil ghost sealed in the human skin ghost drum!
