Volume Three: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lord Chi Yuan
"Tell me about it." After walking into the Mingjing Department, Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu: "Where is the origin of Master Chi Yuan? How..."
Duan Ming's brows furrowed as soon as he stopped speaking.
Xing Qianqiu understood what Duan Ming meant and said with a smile: "I thought Mr. Duan was really confused by the words of Palace Master Chi Yuan just now."
"Haha, almost, almost," Duan Ming shook his head.
"Having said that, this Master Chi Yuan is indeed extraordinary. Among the seven immortals of the Immortality Sect, he ranks third, and his status far exceeds that of the previous Master Wangji." Xing Qianqiu said: "The most important thing is that Chi Yuan
The palace master seems to be very kind and polite to everyone he faces, so his reputation is very good and his prestige is also very high."
"Sure enough." Duan Ming nodded: "It seems that Master Chiyuan is much more difficult to deal with than Master Wangji."
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu said: "Time is very tight now, and we have to act as soon as possible. Mr. Duan, do you have any ideas?"
"Time is very tight?" Xu Shizhong on the side said doubtfully: "Commander, Mr. Duan, why do you say that? Didn't Master Chi Yuan say everything? He will not interfere with our investigation of the case."
"No, no, he said he wouldn't interfere, but actually that's the biggest problem." Duan Ming said solemnly: "Old Xu, do you know when the Immortality Ceremony will be held?"
"This, I just heard a passerby mention it, it should be five days later." Xu Shizhong recalled it and said: "But what does this have to do with us? They hold their ceremony, and we can just solve our case.
."
"At first glance, it seems to be so, but in fact it is not." Duan Ming explained: "First of all, this matter must be the work of the Changsheng Cult. You should have no problem."
"No." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "It was the Ghost Festival, but hundreds of ghosts were killing people. The killing methods were weird and hard to find. People were worried about the evil ghosts harming people and went to the Immortality Sect to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. It happened that Master Chi Yuan was here again, so he took advantage of the situation.
The Immortality Dharma Conference was held. Haha, how can there be such a coincidence in the world."
"In this way, it is indeed a coincidence." Xu Shizhong nodded: "But even if this matter was done by the Immortality Cult, so what?"
"It's very simple. Since it was done by the Immortality Cult, the Immortality Cult occupies a very high advantage." Duan Ming said: "If after the Immortality Dharma Assembly, the murderer immediately escapes far away and no longer harms others, then what do you think of the common people?
Who do you think takes the credit?"
"Of course it's the Immortality Cult." Xu Shizhong said.
"Yes, the common people will think that the murderer is really a evil spirit, and the Immortality Sect can expel evil spirits that even the judge cannot expel!" Duan Ming said: "In this way, the prestige of the Immortality Religion will be even greater."
"And if after the Immortality Ceremony, we catch the murderer and solve the case, what do you think the Immortality Church will say?" Duan Ming asked again.
"This..." Xu Shizhong hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"The Immortality Sect can secretly spread the word everywhere, saying that we were guided by the Immortality Sect, and that we were able to solve strange cases all because of the longevity ceremony." Duan Ming said.
"Funny!" Xing Qianqiu snorted coldly.
"It is indeed funny, but it is very possible." Duan Ming said: "As long as it works well, the people will definitely believe in this statement."
"Oh, I understand." Xu Shizhong nodded: "As long as we pass the Immortality Ceremony, whether we solve the case or not, it will only be good for the Immortality Sect, and there will be no harm."
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "That's why Lao Xing just said that we need to hurry up."
"Having said that, how should we hurry up?" Xu Shizhong said in embarrassment: "It has been so many days, can we still get any clues?"
"It's difficult, but it may not be impossible," Duan Ming said.
"Xu Shizhong." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "This time, you don't need to worry about too many things. Just stay with Mr. Duan and never let Mr. Duan encounter danger again."
"Yes." Xu Shizhong said, cupping his fists.
"Thank you, Commander Xing." Duan Ming clasped his fists at Xing Qianqiu and said, "Then let's move as soon as possible. Lao Xing, you should take people to question the people who claimed to have seen the 'Hundred Ghosts' that night. And I
Let's go to the place where the crime occurred with Lao Xu to see if we can find any clues."
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu didn't hesitate, nodded and left.
After Xing Qianqiu left, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong also left together, heading towards Nancheng.
As soon as they arrived in Nancheng, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong met an acquaintance, Sun Wu, the current shipping officer of the Shipping Department.
"Mr. Duan!" As soon as Sun Wu saw Duan Ming, he hurried over and said with a smile: "Are you out?"
"Come out." Duan Ming smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Shizhong beside him: "Then he was caught doing hard labor."
"This must be someone from the Mingjing Department." Sun Wu glanced at Xu Shizhong, clasped his fists and said, "Sun Wu, the shipping officer of the Shipping Department, has seen..."
"Oh, I'm Xu Shizhong from the Mirror Department." Xu Shizhong clasped his fists and said, "I've seen the sailor."
"Just call me Lao Sun." Sun Wu scratched his head and said with a smile: "But, Mr. Duan, what have you committed again? Or are you here to help the Mirror Division solve the Hundred Ghosts Night Case?
Coming?"
"Of course the case has been solved." Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "What, Lao Sun, what do you mean by this, do you seem to know something?"
"It's not like he knows anything." Sun Wu looked around, hesitated and said, "Well, I don't know if you two are in a hurry. If you are not in a hurry, just follow me home. My mother-in-law has long wanted to entertain you.
It’s time for you, Mr. Duan.”
"You'd better not call me Mr. Duan, it sounds weird." Duan Ming scratched his head: "But it just so happens that I also want to give birth to my sister-in-law, who is about to give birth."
"Well, it's almost time." Sun Wu nodded, and then led Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong towards his home.
As early as a few months ago, Sun Wu was still living in a dilapidated small house in Nancheng. After all, at that time, Sun Wu fought bravely and had nothing to do every day. He was lucky to have a wife.
Now, Sun Wu is already the commander of the Ship Department and lives in a small house.
But having said that, Duan Ming has either lived in a prison or in Luoyi Lane since the Linzhou Talented Scholar case. This is the first time he has visited Sun Wu's home.
Looking at the brand new yard in front of him, Duan Ming was also happy for Sun Wu.
"Ah, Sixth!" Mrs. Sun, who was packing things in the yard, smiled immediately when she saw Duan Ming: "Oh, no, I should call you Mr. Duan."
"Nothing else, sister-in-law!" Duan Ming said hurriedly: "Just call me Lao Liu."
"Why did you clean up by yourself again, where is Xiaocui?" However, Sun Wu hurriedly walked over, put the broom in Sun's hand aside, and asked.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you and call you Sixth." Sun replied with a smile, then looked at Sun Wu: "Don't I want to do some exercise? I asked Xiaocui to buy some meat. I want to
I want to make you some delicious food tonight. Just in time, Lao Liu is here, let’s have some together tonight!”
"Then it will be too much trouble." Duan Ming said with a smile... This chapter has been completed!
