Chapter 38 Murder Case
After working hard for a day and a night, I finally could lie down and have a good rest, but before I could lie down comfortably, the master suddenly said, "You can sleep when you have a shortage, but you are not allowed to sleep now on the seventh day of the lunar month!"
"Ah?" I felt nervous and asked quickly, "Master, what's wrong with you? Why can't you sleep?"
At this moment, I looked at the bed even more close than my master. If the master had no absolute reason to convince me, I would have to lie down and sleep if I beat him to death this time!
The master stretched his waist, then lay lazily on the bed, and said casually: "You just started, and your foundation is unstable and you want to be lazy. If you have any suffering in the future, you can eat it. Meal for an hour first, and then read the "Shangqing Sutra" again before going to bed!"
After listening to the master's words, I felt a black thread in front of me quickly pass by, but I was really unable to refute this. Yes, my foundation is indeed unstable, and I have not even laid a solid foundation. On the contrary, when I saw Shangguan Jin just now, his mental power was obviously very strong and strong. I guess that he could easily put it down by concentrating his mind and pinching a mantra. I have to say that Shangguan Jin's practice is more than twice or twice, or even dozens of times higher than mine.
Fortunately, my hard work for so long has not been in vain. When I was in the secret competition just now, I could barely confront him for a moment, but only a moment. If my master hadn’t stopped him in time, I thought I would have been very embarrassed. Yes, I should practice well, at least I can’t let Shangguan Jin look down on me, and I will not let my master be humiliated by me!
After some thought, I calmed down and immediately focused and said, "Yes!"
Sitting cross-legged with both knees, this time, the master told me a fingerprint that helps me practice, which is the Tai Chi seal. This fingerprint can quickly reach a state of meditation, abandon distracting thoughts, and can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The pinching method of this hand seal is to hold the four fingers of the right hand with the tiger's mouth in the left hand, and hold the big thumbs of the left hand with the tiger's mouth. At the same time, the tips of the thumbs of the hands touch the Laogong point on the other palm of the hand. In this way, the thumbs of the hands form the "Tai Chi Diagram" shape at the tiger's mouth, and the big fingers on the palm of the other hand are the two eyes of the Tai Chi diagram, which are used to connect the two yin and yang energy of the body. The other four fingers represent the "Eight Trigrams", and the hands are one yin and one yang, so it is also called the "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Eight Trigrams Chain".
The master said that such yang hands protect the yin hands, and yin hands hold the yang hands, which is the meaning of "carrying yin and embracing yang" in the "Tao Te Ching".
After pinching the Tai Chi Seal with both hands, I quickly entered a state of ethereality. I felt that the yin and yang energy in my body were operating and regulating my breathing. In this way, my body felt tired and quickly dissipated. This extremely comfortable feeling made me instantly abandon all distracting thoughts and entered a state of meditation with my whole body...
I don’t know how long it took, but I was awakened by a heat flowing all over my body. I thought I was on fire all over my body. I put away my handprints and realized that the air flowing all over my body was a thick wave of air. At this moment, all my fatigue and discomfort disappeared without a trace, and I felt that my mental state was better than ever.
The light on the oil lamp was obviously dimmed a lot. I guess I was not short of meditation after I was like this. I got up and picked up the wick. Then I saw that my master and Bu Yique had already fallen asleep. I looked at my master gratefully and grinned. Although his master had a stinky mouth, he knew how to express his love for me and what I needed most.
I found the "Shangqing Sutra" from the Dharma bag, and I carefully studied it. After many days of study, I gradually gained a new understanding of the mysteries and mysteries in the scriptures. Just as I was still interested, I was preparing to reorganize the mantras and talismans, as well as the thirty-seven sets of Maoshan top formations mentioned in the book. If possible, I really want to learn all the things now, so as not to worry about me, and even more so that I will always embarrass my master.
But it was not accidental that I just put the "Shangqing Jing" into my Dharma bag, but suddenly I was shocked by the sound of a gong on the street outside. "Dongdongdongdong~~~" The sound of a gong that was beating continued. Could something big happened again?!
I got out of bed and put on my shoes, and the master woke up immediately and got out of bed and put on my clothes. However, Bu Yique was "Happy in the Dream". Daluo outside didn't wake him up. I hurriedly asked the master, "Is something wrong outside again?"
The master shook his head with a serious expression and said, "Some strange things have happened here recently. I don't know what happened again this time. Let's go out and have a look!"
I nodded and was about to follow the master out of the room, but immediately thought that Tian Xiaosan's mother was still in a coma. Should there be someone to take care of her at home?
Before I could think too much, I kicked Bu Yique's butt egg-
"What's wrong?! The seventh day of the lunar month! What..."
The voice suddenly came out of Bu Yique's mouth, and then Bu Yique jumped out of bed and shouted in panic. But when he saw me staring at him quietly, he immediately exhaled and said with a slight breath, "Ah, the seventh day of the lunar month, you can't calm down for a while? So what's wrong with not sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
I didn't have time to tease Bu Yique, who looked mournful, and I casually said: "What happened outside again. Master and I will go and see it, but the old man in that room is still half yin and half yang. You kid stay at home!"
Bu Yique sat on the bed, showing signs of snoring, and then waved his hands and said, "Go and go, I will pay attention."
As soon as I walked out of the room, I suddenly turned around, but I saw that Bu Yique had returned to his original position and continued his dream of spring and autumn. I was speechless...
"Dongdongdongdong~~~" "Dongdongdongdong~~~"
There were still a burst of gongs. After we walked out, we could barely get the aged voices with a little anxiety that accompanied us: "It's dead, it's dead, it's dead!"
The sound of gongs and the word "death" is heard everywhere. In this dark night, people feel a little trembling and uneasy. Death is an extremely ordinary thing, who is not born, old, sick and dead, right? But this is Tongyao Town. Since we came here, we have never encountered an ordinary thing. A large group of people robbed a dollar, the "Holy Light God" who can help people survive against the will of heaven, the crazy man with evil spirits, the townsmen who disappeared for no reason, the ghost parading at midnight, etc., are all explaining one thing. Even if a sesame thing happens here, it will instantly become a huge event, let alone a dead person.
The air at night is a little cool, or even a little cold. Maybe I am too sensitive, so I always feel that there is a hint of coldness in the air that shouldn't exist!
Although the sound of gongs resounded throughout the street, there were very few townsmen on the road. So, Imagine who dared to run to the street in the middle of the night after being worried and afraid again? No, there are a few people dressed in a tolerant dress, needless to say, they are from several public security brigades.
In addition to the people from the Public Security Brigade, there were also several townsmen holding torches standing far away. If there were a few people like this, they would probably be extremely brave, or they were some skilled men.
The two security team members were bent over to check the corpses on the ground, and there were five large-brimmed hats holding small iron sticks standing next to them. Opposite was a short, fat, but upright middle-aged man. What was more special was that he was carrying his hands on his back, wearing a pair of white gloves, and staring at the corpses on the ground with a cold face. I have heard of this, he should be the legendary security captain.
Master and I walked forward quickly, and immediately two security personnel raised their small iron sticks and pointed at us: "Our security captain is handling the case, and the idle people are waiting to step back and see!"
This is what we said, we have become idle people waiting. If it weren't for the troubles here, Master and I would have gone to find the treasure of the mountain gate long ago. Master politely clasped his fists and nodded to the two of them, and then signaled me to stand aside with him.
And from the beginning to the end, the short and fat man wearing white gloves didn't turn his head and look at us directly.
After a moment, the two people who inspected the body stood up and saluted the white gloved short fat man, and said respectfully from the person on the right: "Report to the captain, the three dead are two men and one woman, one male is about forty years old, the other is more than thirty years old, and the female is nearly forty years old. The cause of the three people is unknown. The initial judgment is that they were bitten to death by a wild dog. The death time is unknown. The preliminary judgment is three days ago, and the signs of poisoning are unknown. It is initial judgment that one blow is fatal!"
The air at the scene suddenly condensed. The men who were originally whispering behind us were speechless, and the master was also staring at the three corpses on the ground. Now... I'll see what the short and fat man said.
The short and fat man looked at the three bodies again, immediately raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and said in great surprise: "What? The wild dog bit him to death? He bit him to death three days ago? There was no sign of poisoning? It's impossible, it was dead three days ago. Why did their family report the case now?"
The person who reported the report lowered his head with a puzzled look on his face, then raised his head and said, "Because the bodies are all stiff, it is initially judged that the time of death is... between three days and seven days."
The short and fat man frowned immediately, then rubbed his nose and said, "Look at the whole neck of his neck is black, there is really no sign of poisoning?"
The two reporters looked at each other, then nodded together and said, "Yes!"
The short and fat man pondered for a while and immediately said furiously: "His grandma, I asked you to solve the problem, not to ask you to cause problems for me! Deputy Team, where are the families of the three deceased now?"
Immediately, a tall and thin young man walked forward and said respectfully: "Captain, because he was worried that the deceased's family would be overly sad and disturb the scene, so I asked my brothers to guard each family and did not let them come out!"
The short fat man rubbed his nose and nodded, "The deputy team was considerate and now bring one of the deceased's families out. I want to verify the specific cause and time of death!"
Chapter completed!
