Chapter 232 New Discovery

After saying that, the rich man Ma felt that the fate of Chunhualou was placed in the hands of the lord. Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but weaken his legs and knelt in the water with a gurgle. However, the water had reached his thighs. After kneeling, it reached his erect neck. The rippling waves made him unstable and rushed into the water. Lu Jinping quickly grabbed him and lifted it up, saying, "No need to do this, you continue."

"Yes, yes." The rich man Ma agreed in a crying voice, saying that after I discovered this horrible scene, I originally wanted to go forward to put out the fire, but this guy was obviously in the water, and the flame was burning in the water! How could I put out it? So I could only stand there blankly and watch the flame burn the maid bit by bit, until only one head and a pair of hands were left, floating on the water surface, and the whole body was burned to charcoal. I threw myself on the bed and snatched the body up. After snatching it, it broke into several pieces."

Lu Jinping frowned and thought carefully. But he couldn't figure it out. Of course, there are things burning in water in modern technology, but they are all products made under high technology. Now in ancient times, in natural environments, are there things that can burn in water?

Lu Jinping couldn't figure it out, so he walked to the two corpses and lifted the white cloth covered by the body. After seeing it, he frowned. The two corpses were relatively intact and burned into coke. The body was curled, and they should have been broken into several pieces and barely spliced ​​together. There was a piece of legs in it, and what was missing? It must have been sunk into the water and it was not caught. The whole corpse was injured and turned into coke. Fortunately, the coke still had a certain strength, so it barely maintained the shape of the limbs of the corpse itself.

Before this, Lu Jinping had not paid attention to dissecting the body, but this time he heard from the rich man Ma that a maid saw the body burning in the water with his own eyes, and his attention was immediately attracted by the remains of the body.

Lu Jinping asked the rich man Ma, "Before you found the body, have anyone else come in? Is there anyone else in the yard?"

The rich man Ma said, "I asked, no one has come in before, because this is my bedroom. Except for my two personal maids, no one can come in without hello. So they are only two of them in the house, and the others are in the yard or in their own room. There are people in the yard, and I really don't understand how the murderer sneaked in and why the two maids were burned to death."

"I will find out, but I will take a few pieces of body wreckage back for inspection. Is it okay?"

"Of course it's okay, Sir."

Lu Jinping asked the rich man Ma to bring a box, then took a few pieces of burnt remains of the two bodies and placed them in the two boxes. At the same time, the remaining limbs were extracted and placed in the box, so that DNA could be tested if necessary.

Then Lu Jinping asked the rich man Ma to take him to the bedroom where two bodies were found. After preliminary inspection, no signs of damage or fighting were found, and there were no other abnormal situations in the room.

So Lu Jinping then said goodbye with the remains of Huang Jintu and the two maids.

When they arrived at the front door, they were stopped by Master Randeng. Master Randeng laughed and said, "Sir. I have something I want to report to you, don't know if it's possible?"

Lu Jinping frowned and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Master Randeng looked around and laughed and said, "Can you please let me move and find a quiet place to talk about it? This matter is related to whether these cases can be solved."

The voice of the Lan Deng Tianshi was lowered, which was only heard by Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping couldn't help but be curious and glanced at him. He couldn't think of what the so-called Tianshi who relied on props could help him solve the case, so he nodded and asked the rich man Ma to find an empty room, and then closed the door after entering.

Because the entire Tongzhou City is now flooded, the low soft couch in the room where the two entered was already flooded. Lu Jinping sat cross-legged on a round table, without looking at the Lan Deng Tianshi, and said, "What do you think?"

Master Lan Deng stood respectfully at the round table, standing with his hands down, like a boy next to the Lady Buddha sitting cross-legged on the lotus pond.

Master Randeng said: "That's right. Last night, I accidentally saw something. I believe this matter should be helpful to the Lord's cracking of this case."

"Come and listen."

Master Randeng looked even more respectful. He hunched his waist and his head almost touched the water surface. He said in a flattering tone as much as possible: "Sir, I admire your Taoism very much. I have been visiting famous teachers all over the country to learn the real Taoism and Dharma skills. However, in the vast world, there are too few people who are truly capable. I have visited many famous mountains and rivers, and have also seen many so-called masters with Taoism, but there are never those who are truly Taoism.

I have encountered many ghost tricks that deceive the world and steal reputation. Of course, I have also learned some ghost tricks that are also deceiving. These are things that are not allowed to be on the table in front of the Lord. I now know that you have the real Taoism. Therefore, I especially hope to be your master. If you accept me as your disciple, I will do my best to respect the master, and I will be crushed to pieces, and I will never refuse. Please accept the little disciple."

After saying that, he ignored the flood below and knelt in the water with a gurgle. The water filled his chest, but he did not hesitate and crawled into the water to kowtow. He could hear the thumping sound of his head hitting the ground underwater.

He kowtowed nine times in a row, and then he looked at Lu Jinping pitifully. But he found that Lu Jinping was facing him sideways and did not kowtow from him. He couldn't help but feel even more frightened, mournful, and at a loss for a moment.

Lu Jinping came over to look at him with a side face and said, "Do you want to force me to accept you as your disciple by helping me solve the case?"

"The little disciple dare not. The little disciple just hopes that the master is pitiful and can accept me as his disciple. He will never dare to threaten the master with anything. Regardless of whether the master agrees or not, I will tell the master about this matter. I just want to use this matter as a gift for the master. The little bald donkey is stupid and did not explain it clearly, which makes the master angry. The little disciple knows his mistake and begs to forgive him."

When Lu Jinping heard him say this, his face calmed down a little, and said, "You talk about that first, and then talk about the matter of becoming a disciple later."

"A disciple obeys the order."

Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Don't call him Master and disciple first. I will talk about this until I really accept you as my disciple. But now I'm really not interested. You will tell me what you discovered first."

"well."

Master Lan Deng wiped the yellow mud on his face and said, "That's right. Last night, there was continuous lightning and lightning. I felt uneasy. I got up and walked into the corridor and found that the water had already flowed into the yard and was rising. I felt a little anxious. I was about to go back to the room to take a look and put things on the high place. At this moment, I saw a ghost floating from the sky and landing outside the yard. I felt very strange. I didn't know until the next morning that a servant outside the yard was burned to death by someone. After you checked, you did not find the murderer. I remembered this. I thought of this. Could it be that the ghost fire burned him to death?"

Lu Jinping's pupils shrank, looked at him and asked slowly: "Ghost Fire? What kind of ghost fire?"

"I don't know very well, because the distance is a bit far, and I can't see it in detail. However, the ghost fire floated in the sky. Then, I suddenly accelerated and wanted to fall down a stone. It shot into the outside yard with a whoosh. Because I lived alone in a small courtyard, the ghost fire I saw fell outside the yard, which was where the body was discovered later. So I remembered what I discovered last night and wanted to tell the Lord that it might be helpful to the Lord."

Lu Jinping said in a deep voice: "Do you mean he was burned to death by ghost fire from the sky?"

Master Lan Deng nodded solemnly. After he found that Lu Jinping was interested in his words, he couldn't help but be very excited and quickly said: "I think it should be a ghost fire, because if it was an open fire, the heavy rain last night would definitely be extinguished. The ghost fire would not be extinguished."

Lu Jinping's heart skipped a beat. The ghost fire that Master Randeng Tianshi appeared in the pouring rain, and the direction happened to be the yard where the servant was burned to death. The rich man Ma's personal maid, whom he had just discovered, was also burned in the water by a kind of furry green flame. The two kinds of fires have a common feature, that is, they are not afraid of water, and can burn in water. What kind of fire is this? Is it really like Master Randeng Tianshi said? Of course, Lu Jinping doesn't believe it.

Lu Jinping asked: "Do you see the flame, please describe what it looks like?"

Master Lan Deng scratched his head and thought for a long time and said, "I really dare not say this because the flame is actually not bright, and the fire is grayish white or blue, which is not conspicuous in the night sky, especially in the heavy rain. If it weren't for my boredom and looking around, I wouldn't have found it. As for what shape or something? I really dare not say it because it affected the Lord's case solving, I can't say it based on imagination. I really didn't see it clearly. The rain was too heavy at that time, and I could only see it through the rain curtain."

It is grayish white or a little blue, which is a bit like the light blue flame that Ma Qiang said to burn his close maid to death. Is it the same thing?

Lu Jinping asked again: "Are there any other discoveries besides this?"

"There is nothing else. I think it's really a ghost fire. Otherwise, I'd better invite a Taoist to do a ritual to collect this ghost? I think this Chunhua Tower is too evil. There are so many murders in succession, which is really incredible. After thinking about it, what else can I explain besides the ghost monsters and fox fairies? Especially last night, I saw with my own eyes that the ghost fire fell from the sky, which was really scary. In the morning, I heard that the place where the ghost fire took off and landed, and it happened to be found that the person was burned to charcoal. These shouldn't be coincidental, right? It's better to ask someone to come and catch ghosts." (To be continued.)
