After hearing Xu Yang's words, my sleepiness disappeared immediately.
If yesterday I only doubted Chaotian Guan, then now I am almost certain that these murders are 100% related to Chaotian Guan!
Because things can't be such a coincidence, several people who died have been to Chaotian Temple.
"What's going on there?" I looked at Xu Yang and asked.
"This Chaotian Temple was built less than two years ago and was invested by a wealthy overseas Chinese. His name is Liu Tiande and he is eighty-five years old this year." Xu Yang said to me.
I frowned. This information obviously didn't make sense. It seemed that if I wanted to understand the weirdness of this Chaotian Temple, I had to go there in person.
I put on my coat and said to Xu Yang: "Let's go and watch the sky."
When we came downstairs, Xiaoyu chased me out of the kitchen and said to me, "Master, you haven't had breakfast yet!"
I waved my hand and said, "I won't eat. I have something urgent."
Xiaoyu stopped talking and stepped back, but Xu Yang stopped and looked at Xiaoyu and frowned.
Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart. Xiaoyu had been dead a long time ago, and he died in a car accident. Xu Yang was the captain of the Jishui Criminal Police Team. It was very likely that he had met Xiaoyu and had been in contact with him in the past few days.
I know he is a person with a strong memory, maybe he recognized Xiaoyu!
"Let's go, Captain Xu." I said to Xu Yang.
Hearing my words, Xu Yang glanced at the kitchen door again, but didn't say anything.
"Big Ears, what are you doing here?" As we walked to the door, Duanmuqing happened to walk in.
I smiled and nodded to him, pointed to Xu Yang and said, "This is the captain of our Jishui Criminal Police Team. I need my help with a case."
Duanmuqing was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "There is a case, that's great, I'll go with you."
Xu Yang glanced at me, and I knew what he meant, but Duanmuqing was somewhat capable, and this guy was more flexible. I smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together then."
Hearing what I said, Xu Yang didn't say anything. We got in the car and headed straight to the south of the city.
Along the way, Duanmuqing pestered me to ask me more about the case. Then the guy frowned and said, "Damn, it seems there is something wrong with Chaotian Temple!"
I didn't say anything because I had already thought of it. I glanced at Xu Yang and he hadn't spoken since he came out of the shop. I knew there was something on his mind.
"Captain Xu, if you have any questions, just ask." I said to him.
Xu Yang glanced at me, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the woman in the shop just now should have died in a car accident six months ago."
Xu Yang said with some uncertainty.
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, he really suspected Xiaoyu.
But I feel like I have nothing to hide from him now. If I had tried to explain it to him before, he wouldn’t have believed it even to death. But after spending so many days together, he has seen my methods and has gained a new understanding of the world.
We know each other, so I think Xiaoyu’s matter is not so difficult for him to accept now.
"Yes, that's her." I smiled and nodded.
After hearing my answer, Xu Yang could no longer remain calm and stepped on the accelerator.
Duanmu Qing, who was sitting in the back, bumped into the seat, but the guy didn't say anything, he just smiled lightly and looked at Xu Yang.
"But...but she is already dead and her body has been cremated. How can she still be there with you?" Xu Yang's voice trembled slightly. If the successive bizarre murders had made him doubt the world,
Then Xiaoyu's appearance today directly subverted his world view, and it was understandable that he found it difficult to accept it for a while.
"She is already dead. What you see is just her ghost. In other words, what you see is that she is a ghost now." I said calmly.
After hearing what I said, Xu Yang unscrewed the glass, took out a cigarette with some trembling, lit it, took a deep puff, then turned his head and stared at me closely, and asked: "Are you saying that in this world is it really possible?"
Is there a ghost?"
I didn't speak, just nodded. I knew it would take time for him to accept these things.
"Then...then what do you do?" Xu Yang looked at me with a worried look on his face.
I know what he is thinking. After all, a person who hangs out with ghosts is not a good person in the eyes of normal people. Xu Yang obviously regards me as a being who knows magic.
I thought it was time to show off my cards with him, so I smiled at him and said, "I'm actually in the same industry as you."
Hearing what I said, Xu Yang looked puzzled and asked, "You are also a policeman."
I nodded, shook my head, and said, "You can say that, but you are a policeman in the world of the world, and I am a policeman in the underworld. I am a shady agent, and I am in charge of the ghosts of Jishui."
After hearing what I said, Xu Yang was stunned for a long time, his lips moved, and he wanted to ask something else.
But I didn't let him speak. I pointed to the front and said, "Officer Xu, I will still be in Jishui from now on. You can slowly investigate my identity. I think the most important thing for us now is to go to Chaotian Temple first."
After hearing my words, Xu Yang took a deep breath, nodded, and restarted the car.
Xu Yang didn't say another word along the way. I knew he was trying to convince himself to believe what I said, because what he had seen in the past few days had completely overturned his previous worldview.
About half an hour later, we stopped. In front of us was a small Taoist temple. The Taoist temple was built on the mountain. There were three big characters on the door: Chaotian Temple!
We got out of the car and walked directly into the temple. But as soon as we reached the door, we were blocked by a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" the Taoist asked, looking at us with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
I didn't answer him, but looked inside. I saw a tall statue of a god enshrined in the temple inside the Taoist temple. However, unlike other Taoist temples, the statue of the god enshrined here looked ferocious and his eyes were wide open.
