Because the sale of souls is taboo, anyone who touches it will be sentenced to severe punishment.
Haoyue is now very angry because this kind of thing is being traded again. Now Haoyue has an idea about this spiritual shield, which is to prevent people from discovering what happened here.
"No wonder the store manager didn't say anything. It turns out there is something like this that people don't know about."
"whats the matter?"
The members of the Investigation Department who followed in did not notice the existence of souls here and just stared blankly at the empty containers.
Kumu looked at the souls in these containers and thought, because if the store manager adopts souls, there must be a purpose, and the store manager himself is not a soul-type ability user, so if the store manager admits that this is him, then he must have an accomplice, and The opponent must be a soul-type ability user.
("If this is the case, then the person who deliberately left clues may not have any connection with this place. The other person may even have a better relationship with the investigation office and want to help the investigation office.")
Soon the store manager arrived here, led by members of the Investigation Department.
As soon as he met Haoyue, he asked the store manager, "Where is this place?"
"I don't know this or this?"
The store manager had a look of panic on his face. He didn't know this place at all. He did use everything he knew. He even knelt down and was scared out of his wits.
The store manager almost collapsed under Haoyue's terrifying eyes, and finally Haoyue withdrew his terrifying eyes.
"Trouble." Haoyue already had a prediction in his mind.
"How is this going?"
Several people in the investigation department thought that the store manager was denying and pretending to be stupid, so they pressed the store manager for questioning, but the store manager kept repeating what he just said, completely unaware of this matter.
Haoyue didn't have much, but left here with everything. Now it is necessary to investigate who the traces here are related to.
.....................
Soon the investigation office also came up with the results of this matter, that is, the traces in the secret passage and the room belong to the store manager alone and there is no third person.
This proof further confirmed Haoyue's conjecture, and Kumu became more certain about the third person's conjecture.
Haoyue came to Kumu, ready to discuss the harvest this time with Kumu.
Haoyue first came to Kumu and asked, "Did you hit the trap by mistake? Or did you already know that there was a trap there and deliberately show it to me? Did you know that I was observing you?"
Teacher Haoyue is still very alert. Kumu feels that he must tell Haoyue what he has discovered, because he does not know whether this third person is a friend or an enemy. Although he cannot tell Haoyue in detail how he knows this.
"Why didn't Teacher Haoyue question the store manager?" Kumu asked his own question.
The look in Haoyue's eyes at Dead Mu was not entirely filled with doubts, but she wanted to tell the answer herself.
"I thought he really didn't know what he was doing. He didn't show many strange behaviors under my pressure, and his behavior didn't have any suspicious changes. This shows that he was indeed telling the truth at the beginning, and his mental fluctuations were very high. He wasn’t pretending to be chaotic, so he really wasn’t lying.”
"Then how do you explain the traces in Teacher Haoyue's secret passage room?"
"Hey." Haoyue sighed and told the reason, "If my guess is correct, he is probably controlled and did these things without his knowledge. In the past, I also After all these things happened, I haven’t caught that person yet, although I saw him when the accident happened in the Garden of Nature.”
"That is to say?"
"He was controlled by someone to do these things, and he didn't know it. And the other person is a soul-type ability user, so it makes sense that there are a lot of souls in that room."
After speaking, Haoyue glanced at Dead Tree, "You ask me this because you want to share whether the things I discovered can correspond to the things you discovered, right?"
"Teacher Haoyue is really amazing. You can see it so easily."
"Stop talking nonsense, what did you find?" Haoyue urged Kumu to quickly tell what he knew.
"I discovered that not only the soul-type ability user discovered by the store manager and teacher in this place, but also a third person!" As soon as Kumu said this, Haoyue looked at each other in shock.
"How to say."
Kumu explained that he was observing and finding clues everywhere at the fire scene, but when he walked there, he discovered something strange, that is, the wall was uneven, so he discovered the mechanism, and the fall was indeed fake.
"What? There's something fishy about that wall. No one in the investigation office has noticed it these past few days. They're just a bunch of losers. Let's see how I teach them a lesson when I go back."
After hearing what Kumu said, Haoyue immediately prepared to go back and teach everyone who could not do anything practical, but he immediately thought of the third person Kumu proposed.
"You are saying that the other party may be someone from the Investigation Department."
Kumu had never thought about this, but it was easy to investigate, as long as Haoyue checked the members who had entered the on-site investigation office in the past few days one by one.
"Teacher Haoyue, what I think is that the other party may not be from the Investigation Department at all, but he is interested in helping the Investigation Department."
Kumu told Haoyue that if no abnormalities are found in subsequent investigations, then this may be the biggest one.
After Kumu finished explaining, Haoyue also understood.
"You are saying that it was not that the people from the Investigation Department did not discover it, but that they avoided the Investigation Department when it was investigating the scene and left clues not long ago."
Haoyue thought about it carefully and thought it was very possible, "It's really scary to talk about this person like this."
"Because I think that when he left the clues, he must have done so after Teacher Haoyue's investigation, because it was best for him to avoid that time to do this."
"It makes sense. I think no matter how powerful the opponent is, he can't be as strong as me." When he said this, Haoyue's nose seemed to have grown a bit longer. Haoyue liked Kumu's compliment very much.
"Okay, I'll do as you like and go check on your own people first."
.....................
The investigation went smoothly and the store manager was also mentally checked. There is currently no mental problem with the store manager.
Regarding this result, Haoyue was both happy and worried. The people in the Happy Event Investigation Department were indeed not too stupid. Many of them had gone through the previous investigation, but they did not find any abnormalities, and there was no insider.
This shows that things have indeed become serious as Kumu said. Originally, Haoyue thought this was just an ordinary arson case or something caused by a fight between the four major families, but now it is definitely not simple.
"What should I do next, Teacher Haoyue?"
Haoyue told Kumu that he knew a person who could control souls, but the other party was very cautious and difficult to catch, so Haoyue told Kumu to be careful. After a few days of investigation, he might not get into the other party's ears, but the other party would definitely tell him based on The Investigation Department’s current movements are inconclusive. Whether this matter is related to the Hall of Light remains to be discussed.
"Teacher Haoyue wants me to be careful."
"Well, the more we investigate this matter, the more dangerous it will be. I will personally protect the store manager, and you should not run around recently, or you will be watched."
After Haoyue told Kumu the precautions, he asked Kumu to go back to the hospital to recuperate. If he felt bad, he could go directly to the investigation office. Kumu nodded and listened to Haoyue's opinion, and Haoyue was going to go to the Hall of Light to find out the situation in person and ask clearly about the relationship between the Hall of Light and this matter.
After doing this, Kumu returned to the hospital and faced teachers Xue Zhi and Xin Ting.
"How was the investigation?"
Xin Ting is still very concerned about whether Ku Mu's ability can be recognized by Haoyue.
Kumu nodded and said that there was definitely nothing wrong with what he did, but the problems he discovered were terrifying.
Kumu told Xuezhi and Xinting what he had discovered, and they couldn't believe it. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Teacher Haoyue said that I can't continue the investigation, and Teacher Haoyue already has some targets for the culprit in the Soul Incident, so it will be difficult for me to interfere in the future, and that person, Teacher Haoyue, also met during the Garden of Nature incident. "
Xin Ting nodded understandingly. Haoyue must have known the subsequent dangers before letting Kumu leave and not continue the investigation.
Yukiori started to think about what happened in the Garden of Nature, but she didn’t know why she had lost a piece of memory. But now Yukiori has some guesses about her missing memory, that is, her ability was activated, and when it was activated I won't have any memories of that time.
.....................
The old man was waiting for Hao Qinghe's arrival in his room.
Soon Hao Qinghe hurried over, and he did not dare to neglect when facing the old man.
As soon as he met the old man Hao Qinghe, he told him his recent discovery.
"It's very troublesome. Haoyue protected that person and even brought him directly to the investigation office. It was very difficult to do anything. And today I observed that he was taken away from the investigation office in a hurry. I knew that the things under the store were very likely. Found."
When Hao Qinghe heard this, he immediately asked why he didn't kill the man directly.
"How is it possible? Haoyue wasn't with that person at all at that time. If I had to take action, it would be possible for me to do it, and he wouldn't say anything if I didn't take action. Those things were all done by him unconsciously, so He will definitely not find anything in a short period of time. If the other party finds out any clues if he takes action in a hurry, it is very likely that not only my Hall of Light will be in crisis immediately."
Upon hearing the old man's reprimand, Hao Qinghe immediately said that he didn't think carefully.
"But people from the Investigation Department should be arriving soon. You have to pay attention. At present, no one except our two families knows about our cooperation, so don't worry. Even if he suspects me, there won't be any evidence to overthrow him now. Palace of Light, deal with it well, what we need to deal with more now is their investigation of me."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Hao Qinghe heard a message from someone else, saying that Mr. Haoyue from the Investigation Department was coming.
Hao Qinghe looked at the old man anxiously, but the old man just nodded and told him to just deal with it and he would eliminate the threat in the incident.
"The best way now is to find a scapegoat." After saying these last words, the old man left the Hall of Light.
Hao Qinghe also adjusted his expression to face Haoyue...
.....................
Kumu feels that staying in the hospital is extremely boring and hopes to do something.
"Wait a minute, although there are things in the other party that normal souls dare not approach, but I can rely on the surrounding souls to find traces of the other party to determine where he ran!"
Relying on his ability to see souls, he seems to have found a way to break the situation. His ability to collect information can be said to be very terrifying. After not using it for a long time, he actually forgot about it.
As soon as he said it, Qian Kumu immediately asked Xuezhi to cover for him, and then quickly left the hospital. Now Kumu's body has basically recovered as before, and his body is as light as a swallow.
"The characteristics of this ability are really helpful."
Soon Deadwood returned to the scene and looked for traces of souls around. Although they could be found, not all souls were willing to help. Even if some souls were willing to help, they would make some extremely excessive demands. Deadwood hoped that someone would see it. Okay, so you can continue to look for other soul questions and answers along the way, as long as there is not a soul who can tell them.
Deadwood is lucky, because the soul is very sensitive to the stench emitted by the opponent. Even if all abilities are hidden later, the soul can still lock the target based on the previous stench.
Gradually, Kumu learned the general direction and began to chase along the way. Then as the journey continued, Kumu discovered that the other party was moving away from the crime scene in a straight line.
"You look like this because you want to escape from something as soon as possible."
According to the situation when Teacher Haoyue came here, the other party was obviously extremely scared. Knowing this, Dead Wood kept walking along a straight line until he knew that the direction provided by a soul had changed. By now, Dead Wood had run three kilometers away.
"This guy is very scared. Even though he hid his ability, he still ran so far before changing direction. This situation is not cautious. It should be something Teacher Haoyue did that influenced him to make him so scared."
Without wasting any time, Dead Wood continued to chase after him relying on his soul to provide him with direction. He soon deviated from the urban area and continued heading into the wild.
"Run into the wild."
Combining this with the fact that Teacher Haoyue has captured a large number of souls, the other party should be eager to find souls to supplement his strength.
"This guy must have done something unethical and has a lot of evil in him. The soul will immediately avoid him when he sees it. If he wants to find the soul, he needs to go to certain places."
Although there is no soul here to provide direction to the dead wood, but the dead wood still knows where to provide the soul.
"Cemeteries should be possible, or they could be abandoned buildings or even places where accidents occurred. There may be souls remaining."
Kumu knew that there happened to be a cemetery near where he was now.
.....................
Walking along the uninhabited path, the dead tree quickly came to this place where no one had pooped. It seemed that no one had been to this place for a long time.
The entire cemetery is covered with weeds and dead trees, and from time to time there are frightening bird calls in the air that make the dead trees shudder. It is obvious that this place has been abandoned for a long time, but some of the people here have not moved away.
The dead wood's feet stepped on the dead wood and grass, making a tiny crackling sound. Apart from the dead wood's own voice, the surroundings were also eerily silent.
Thanks to it being daytime, it would easily be scary here at night.
The dead tree walked slowly and observed its surroundings. Some places showed traces of animal excavation.
"Animal traces are not unusual, but there are recent ones." Deadwood sighed as he looked at the traces.
Luck still favors the dead wood. There are obvious traces of human walking here. The dead wood was moved aside by the weeds and fell to the side. Although the other party did not stay again, someone had been here.
Kumu was overjoyed, saying that his judgment was correct, so that he could know that the other party was indeed moving for the soul.
"It's just that the road ahead will be very troublesome. I don't know if there will be any danger. It will definitely be very troublesome if something happens to me again."
Kumu thought for a moment and decided to wait until later. It was business to record this first.
After recording it, Deadwood searched the surrounding area and found that there were indeed other cemeteries nearby, which meant that in this case the other party most likely went to other cemeteries.
"How can I tell Teacher Haoyue about this clue? It's said that I encountered it by accident. What should I do? Unless he can come to me on his own."
Thinking of this, Kumu suddenly felt a different look observing him.
Kumu turned his head and looked around. This feeling was very unusual. Kumu was sure that he was being watched, but there was no trace of the other party at all.
"Don't stay here for long, run away!"
Kumu realized something was wrong and immediately ran away. As for how to reasonably tell Haoyue this clue, Kumu already had a way, and that was to rely on musical notes.
It's certainly not surprising for him to say that he is also a person with mental abilities. Now he just needs to let Yin Yin know the knowledge about the soul. It would be easier if Yin Yin himself knew it.
Kumu immediately left the scene with great speed, and then prepared to go to the investigation hall to find the musical notes.
The person observing the dead tree was none other than Qiu Zhenyuan, but now Qiu Zhenyuan's eyes were empty and without any expression. At this moment, he was like a walking corpse. After seeing the dead tree leave, Qiu Zhenyuan looked like he was heading to the next place, but he finally murmured as he left. He murmured, "It's the man in the villa. Just wait, I will seek revenge on you, and then I will get the stone back."
.....................
When he came to the investigation hall, Kumu asked him to see Yin Yin by name.
Yin Yin heard that it was Kumu who was looking for him. At the same time, he had doubts about Kumu's luck last time and quickly came to Kumu's side.
Kumu had already made up his rhetoric when he first saw Yin Yin.
"I have done some research on souls and want to go to the scene of the accident to investigate, but I have no mental ability, so I need your help."
"Why are you looking for me?"
Kumu coughed lightly and leaned into Yin Yin's ear and said, "Others are not very nice to me, but you are the only one who sees how powerful I am."
"Well, that's true."
The mentor behind Kumu is Master Haoyue, and Yin Yin has no reason to refuse based on this alone. However, Yin Yin doesn't know that Haoyue won't let Kumu continue to investigate, and he doesn't know that he will be regarded as a meritorious service by Kumu.
After a while, Kumuyin returned to the scene of the crime, and Kumu immediately took out the words he had made up and said it.
"Mu Note, you know the soul, right? I went to find some information, and it is said that it has the ability to control the soul!" Kumu's eyes widened as he spoke, expressing that he was very excited about his discovery.
Yin Yin did indeed fall into the trap. Seeing Kumu's excited look, he immediately corrected Kumu, "Yeah, but Kumu just understands a little bit is not enough. He needs a more detailed understanding. He does have that ability, but the reason why the investigation department ordered to prohibit the control of souls. It’s because of a very scary thing, and the soul is not that easy to control, and this ability must have side effects.”
"???" What Yin Yin said aroused Kumu's interest. No one can know the actual understanding of souls better than Kumu, but Kumu hardly knew about the prohibition against the use of souls by the Investigation Department.
"Well, do you know about the side effects of controlling the soul of the musical note?"
"Yes, as a psychic type, although I am not the rarer soul type, I still do some research, because although the psychic type cannot see directly like the soul type, I can perceive it through my own spiritual field, so I still need to understand it. This is also my flaw that I learned about after I was injured last time, so I worked hard to study it. Later I found that the soul is completely different from what I feel about myself. This is the experience of seniors with soul-type abilities. "
Yin Yin felt that he had said too much, because Dead Wood was an incompetent person and it was useless to explain these things to Dead Wood.
But this just fits Kumu’s meaning (“It seems he should be very knowledgeable, so the rest will be easy to handle”)
