Monk Ma frowned and asked a question: "If the murderer is really a wolf demon, a dog demon or other ghosts, the people we stay behind will be smelled by them even if they use invisible charms or hidden energy charms."
The smell, so as to alert the snake, right?"
Shan Daonian pondered and nodded: "The monk's worry is not unreasonable. Wolf demons, dog demons and even cat demons all have extremely strong senses of smell, and they can smell our scent from a long distance away."
Having said this, he suddenly realized that Cui Yougui looked very confident, and he quickly asked: "Old Taoist, is there anything you can do?"
Cui Youying really has a solution: "We're afraid that people's scent will be smelled by demons and ghosts, so we don't need people to keep an eye on us."
Monk Ma was stunned for a moment and did not react: "No need for people? What to use?"
"Use wandering ghosts." Cui Youguo said, "When demons and ghosts smell the smell of humans, they will indeed become wary and on guard. But even if they find the scent of wandering ghosts, they won't pay much attention to it.
"
This is the truth.
During this period of time, many demons and ghosts appeared in Mianyuan County. Even if the murderer of Huang San noticed the presence of ghosts nearby, he would not suspect that these ghosts were spies sent by the Demon Suppression Department.
Because the wandering ghosts are different from Qingji, the latter is like a silly roe deer and has a loud voice. It has already made the people and demons in the city know that they have become a member of the Demon Suppression Department.
In comparison, the wandering ghosts who were taken into the Demon Suppression Division by Cui Yougui were much more low-key.
So far, except for the night watchmen in the Demon Suppression Department, no one or ghost knows that some of the wandering ghosts wandering around the city at night have actually converted to good deeds.
Moreover, the wandering ghosts are very weak. Even if the murderer discovers their existence, he will not care. At most, he will drive them away.
The only problem is...
Qin Shaoyou raised his finger and pointed to the sky and said: "The ghosts in our Demon Suppression Department are very weak, and they may not be able to withstand the sun during the day."
"This problem is not difficult to solve. Just find a temporary hiding place for those lonely ghosts. Anyway, we only need them to keep an eye on this place, and we don't need them to come out to patrol."
When Cui Youyou said this, he raised his hand and pointed not far away.
"Aren't there just a few willows and locust trees over there? They are all five shades, which are the most suitable for ghosts to hide. Even during the day, as long as they hide in the trees and don't come out, nothing will happen. And that location is also just right for ghosts to hide.
The surveillance here is in place.”
Senior Brother Cui is an expert on things like ghosts. Since he said that wandering ghosts can hide in the trees to monitor this place, it must be feasible.
In comparison, Monk Ma is only good at "physical transcendence" and fooling around.
And Qin Shaoyou is only good at sacrificing demons and ghosts to the five internal organs temple.
"Then do what Senior Brother Cui said, let's go back and get a group of lonely ghosts over..." Qin Shaoyou made up his mind immediately, but in the middle of his words, he saw Qiurong gesturing to him in sign language.
Qin Shaoyou understood Qiurong's sign language and asked, "Do you want to stay here and monitor this place?"
Qiurong nodded repeatedly.
It had been a while since she came to the Demon Town Division, and she had done a good job in the logistics work. Not only did she help the night watchmen wash clothes and cook, but she also cleaned the big bunk where the night watchmen slept.
The original Datong Shop had a complex smell, and even the odor had many levels.
But now that Qiu Rong helps with the cleaning every day, the situation is much better.
At least Qin Shaoyou won't be brought to tears by the strong stench again when he enters Datongpu.
But Qiurong, who has done so many things, is still not satisfied. She wants to do more things to repay the night watchman for helping her take revenge. At the same time, she also wants to show more of her abilities so that she can continue to stay in the town.
In the Demon Division.
The people in the Demon Suppression Department are all talented people, and they speak well. They will also teach her skills and give her delicious food.
She likes it here very much.
Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed a good suggestion for Qiurong to stay and monitor.
Qiurong's ability to hide her figure and appear elusive made even him unable to guard against her.
It is more appropriate for Qiu Rong to stay here and monitor it than for ordinary wandering ghosts. After all, the human bones buried here have been touched by them. As long as the murderer comes here, he will definitely be more careful.
I'm afraid ordinary wandering ghosts can't hide it.
"Okay, you can stay here and keep an eye on me."
Qin Shaoyou waved, called Qiurong in front of him, took out the cloud-penetrating arrow from his body, and handed the paper crane talisman to her, and ordered: "If you see a demon coming, you put the paper crane talisman to notify us. If you are in danger,
, don’t hesitate, release the Cloud Piercer Arrow immediately.”
Qiurong nodded to express her understanding. With a wave of her red sleeves, she put the cloud-piercing arrow and the paper crane talisman into her sleeve.
Then she held a red umbrella and floated directly to an old locust tree not far away. She swayed and sank into the trunk of the tree.
After Qiurong hid, Qin Shaoyou checked the area again to make sure there were no flaws, and then took Cui Yougui, Monk Ma and others back to the Demon Suppression Division.
As soon as he returned to the Demon Suppression Division, Cui Yougui went to the back of the lobby to find wandering ghosts to go on a mission.
He wanted to select some smart ones and take them to other places where the remains of Huang San's body were hidden.
The strength of these wandering ghosts is much inferior to Qiurong. Not only are they unable to hold an umbrella and walk under the sun, they are also unable to crawl into locust trees and willows.
It all depends on Cui Yougui.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Cui has the means and ability.
On his way back to the Demon Town, he went to the funeral shop and bought a soul-calling flag. Now he came to the back of the lobby and held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, with a layer of mud on the umbrella.
After choosing a wandering ghost, Brother Cui will recite the incantation and shake the soul-calling flag.
Then the wandering ghosts will first attach themselves to the soul-calling flags, and the oil-paper umbrellas will be covered with mud to prevent them from being damaged by the sun.
After arriving at the place, Cui Youguo will cast a spell again to let the wandering ghosts come out of the soul-calling flags and get into the corresponding shelter.
Qin Shaoyou did not participate in this task and left it all to Cui Youyou.
First, he couldn't help even if he wanted to participate, and second, he had other things to do.
After Qin Shaoyou entered the mission room, he took out the case file and started to look through it.
Not only did he read the recent case files in the Demon Suppression Department, he also looked at the case records of the Demon Suppression Department and the county government over the past year or so, looking for content related to the disappearance case.
In the end, he discovered that not only had disappearances occurred during the month or so when the ghosts were haunted, but also in the past year or so, there had been some disappearances in Mianyuan County and surrounding towns.
Some of these cases have been solved, while others have become unsolved.
Qin Shaoyou tried to find commonalities among these disappearance cases, but failed to find them.
These missing people include men and women, old and young, from the city and from outside the city, and they are not related to each other at all.
The only clue that Qin Shaoyou found was that most of these missing cases initially occurred in various places outside the city.
But when the demons of the Black Lotus abducted children in the city and turned them into dogs, the disappearance case was moved to the city.
It's just that everyone at that time was distracted by the cases of missing children, so they didn't notice these missing cases.
But it is also possible that they noticed it but suspected that these cases were related to the missing children, so they did not launch a special investigation.
After all, in Mianyuan County at that time, many of the officials from the county magistrate to the lower levels were followers of the Black Lotus Sect, and even many of the county and town demon divisions were bribed.
Once they mistakenly believe that these missing people were kidnapped by the Black Lotus Sect, they will naturally turn a blind eye.
"etc……"
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized something.
Now, I am looking at the problem from the perspective of hindsight, so I know that several yamen in Mianyuan County have colluded with the Black Lotus Sect, so I will not seriously investigate cases related to the disappearance of children.
But what about the murderer?
Is it possible that he also knows?
Because according to common sense, whether the murderer is a demon or a human being, he must be very cunning and cautious if he can hide in the city and commit so many crimes.
According to his cautious character, when a large number of children disappeared in the city, he should be cautious and restrained, so as not to be burned and arrested as a scapegoat.
But he just took advantage of the situation and fished in troubled waters.
Is it because he is brave and confident in his own strength, and firmly believes that no one will find out about him?
Or……
At that time, the murderer already knew that Mianyuan County had been infiltrated by the Black Lotus Cult, so he dared to fish in troubled waters, even unscrupulously?
Qin Shaoyou touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
I am afraid that the answers to these questions can only be answered by finding the murderer.
Qin Shaoyou quickly tallied up the names, place of birth and birthdates of the missing people in the past year or so, made a list, found Cui Yougui, and asked him if he could cast a spell again to find out the whereabouts of the remains of these missing people.
