Volume 3: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter 81: Peace in the World
After listening to Duan Ming's words, Xing Qianqiu and Li Waner had to admit that what Duan Ming said was correct.
By putting himself in a position of being "coerced" to solve the case, the Immortality Cult's intention to kill him will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, no matter which time it was, Duan Ming was indeed forced to solve the case, and it could not be considered a lie.
As long as the Immortality Cult conducts a thorough investigation, they can be more sure whether what Duan Ming said is true.
"That's right." After saying this question, Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu: "I found a problem when I went to investigate today, but you have to go with me."
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded without hesitation.
"Where to go? I'll go too." Li Waner said.
"Princess Princess, this is... okay." Duan Ming nodded: "But I have agreed in advance that you must listen to me in everything."
"Okay." Li Waner replied.
"In this case, you two should go change your clothes first. This outfit is really eye-catching now." Duan Ming said as he looked at Xing Qianqiu, who was wearing a mirror uniform.
Soon, the two of them had changed into ordinary people's clothes and walked towards the south of the city under the leadership of Duan Ming.
"The place we are going to now is called Nancheng Alley." On the way, Duan Ming said to Xing Qianqiu, and Li Waner said: "Nancheng alleys are very weird. Although I lived in Nancheng in the past, I have never been there."
"It can be said that in the entire Nancheng, there are three alleys that few people walk on."
"One is my Luoyi Alley, the other is my hometown alley, and the last one is this Nancheng alley."
"The reason why few people walk in Luoyi Alley is because the other side of Luoyi Alley has been sealed off, leaving only one exit on Zichu Street."
"There are few people walking on Hometown Alley because it has been in disrepair for a long time and the road is rugged, making it difficult even for people to walk on it."
"And the last alley in Nancheng has wide roads, flat ground, and extends in all directions."
"In that case, why is no one walking in the alleys of Nancheng?" Li Waner asked doubtfully.
"Because it is haunted." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Since the Nancheng alley was built, people will disappear here every once in a while. No one is seen alive, no body is found dead. As time goes by, no one dares to leave."
"During the Linzhou Talented Scholar case, the Mirror Division searched the entire city and also searched the alleys of Nancheng, but nothing unusual was found." Xing Qianqiu said solemnly.
"It's normal. Where are there ghosts in the world? It's just the human heart that has ghosts." Duan Ming said: "There must be deep secrets hidden in the alleys of Nancheng, so we pretend to be ghosts and scare people away. Your Mirror Division is here to handle the case and search.
, how dare these pretenders show their faces?"
"According to my previous inspections, if the person pretending to be a Hundred Ghosts on the day of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade wants to escape, he must take Suyun Road or Nancheng Alley."
"Suyun Road is a place for fireworks. Even though on the day of the Ghost Festival, even this fireworks place is closed and everyone goes to bed early. But after all, there is a large population, so mistakes are inevitable."
"But there is no such worry in the alleys of Nancheng." Duan Ming said solemnly: "The alleys of Nancheng are sparsely populated. On the night of the Ghost Festival, even officers and soldiers patrolling will never go here, so it is easiest to escape from here.
People don’t know what’s going on.”
Soon, the three of them had arrived at the intersection of Nancheng's alleys. The alley in front of them looked spacious and bright, but it gave people an extremely eerie feeling.
"Ahem." Li Waner couldn't help but shiver: "Mr. Duan, this place really looks like it's haunted."
"It's about the stones." Duan Ming smiled and said, "The color of the stones here is a little greener than other places. The slightly green road will make people feel cold. In addition, there have been no pedestrians passing by for a long time, so it looks naturally eerie.
.”
"That's right." Li Waner nodded.
"Let's go, let's go in and explore the alleys of Nancheng!" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
Then, the three of them slowly walked into the alleys of Nancheng under the strange looks of the people around them, and walked slowly deeper along the spacious road.
There are also houses on both sides of the alleys in Nancheng. These houses look a little old.
As if sensing the entry of Duan Ming and others, the doors of these houses slightly opened a gap, as if someone was peeping at Duan Ming and others from inside.
"Who!" Xing Qianqiu frowned and shouted sternly.
"Creak!" Following Xing Qianqiu's loud shout, the doors and windows of these houses were instantly closed, no longer revealing any gaps.
"Don't worry about it." Duan Ming said with a smile: "The alleys in Nancheng are haunted. The houses on both sides are uninhabited. The beggars in the city will live here to avoid the wind and sun."
"But aren't they afraid of being haunted?" Li Waner said doubtfully.
"When people are poor to a certain extent, what do they have to fear even if they are ghosts? Even if it is a Montenegro grandma, if she is willing to recommend herself as a pillow, she will become pretty and delicious in the eyes of some people." Duan Ming said: "This is the most terrifying thing in the world.
The problem is not ghosts, but poverty."
"Grandma Heishan?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming in confusion.
"Well, it's a kind of scary-looking female ghost." Duan Ming replied.
"Mr. Duan's words have profound meaning, Wan'er has learned a lesson." Li Waner said to Duan Ming: "When Wan'er returns to Beijing, I will definitely convey this matter to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can show mercy to these poor people."
"That's not necessary." Duan Ming shook his head: "Some people are poor because of bad luck, and some people are poor because of cheating and cheating. In peaceful and prosperous times, as long as people are willing to work hard, few people will be so poor.
This is the situation. Therefore, your Majesty does not need to reform anything in one continent or one place today. You only need to make this country permanent, the world peaceful, the country peaceful and the people safe, then people who should not be poor will naturally have a turning point."
"I have learned a lesson." Xing Qianqiu and Li Waner looked at each other and bowed slightly to Duan Ming.
"Sir is a great talent, and I always gain something by being around him." Li Waner praised.
"Thank you, thank you!" Duan Ming scratched his head in embarrassment.
While they were talking, the three of them had been walking along the road for a long time, and the scene in front of them became increasingly eerie and weird.
There are two rows of tall locust trees planted on both sides of the road. They are strangely shaped and look very weird.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Duan Ming raised his hand and looked at the streets on both sides with confusion.
"What's wrong?" Xing Qianqiu and Li Waner looked at Duan Ming in confusion.
"Have you ever felt that more eyes are peeking at us here?" Duan Ming said in a deep voice.
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded. He could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was indeed subtly different from other places.
"These sights are different from the previous ones. If the previous ones were vigilant, here they are more like greed." Duan Ming said solemnly: "The people here are definitely not the poor people before, but people with ulterior motives.
!”
"Uh, why don't I feel anything?" Li Waner whispered... This chapter has been completed!
