The dim skylight filtered through the dense holes in the wall, revealing corpses covered with burlap, with dark yellow bamboo lanterns hung on the tops, with weak wicks swaying inside, adding an unspeakable eerieness.
"Two adults, the body of the Western Region monk is here."
The voice of words rang out.
"tread."
The door opened, and the three people in the yamen, the policeman, the policeman, and Li Kui came in one after another.
"Deputy Li Qianhu is the corpse."
There was a pause in the words.
"It's just a little smelly, please be patient."
Wu Zuo opened the linen cloth, revealing a swollen face covered with dirt and stains, and an unpleasant stench immediately filled the air.
"Gan, where did this guy die?"
Pei Ming immediately covered his mouth and nose, his disgust palpable, "Why does it smell so bad?"
"Died in a smelly ditch in the streets of Nanshi."
The policeman immediately replied: "It is true that he died of drowning. The cause of death was strange. After we found out, we reported it to Beizhen Fusi as soon as possible."
"Stinky ditch!?"
Pei Ming frowned and said, "No wonder it smells so bad."
However, since the matter was so important, he still looked at the corpse carefully with his eyebrows lowered, and saw a peaceful smile on his lips.
It seemed like I saw something beautiful.
'In line with the first characteristic, the cause of this phenomenon is the mold that is covered with black velvety material in the body.'
Information flashed through Pei Ming's mind instantly.
There seemed to be a green light passing through his eyes, and the flesh and skin of the corpse gradually became blurred, and the internal organs were visible, as well as the black velvet-like mold covered with it, which was like spots, gradually eroding every inch of flesh and blood.
"Hahaha."
Pei Ming couldn't help but laugh, "Li Qianhu, the deputy, was obtained without any effort. The cause of death of Lin Dongdong is exactly the same. It must be the same evil spirit. Now let me find out his true face."
'Um?'
Li Kui glanced at Pei Ming.
Does this Wudang Taoist disciple have any trump card?
"The soul is here, in the cave sky and the underworld, listen to my orders..."
Pei Ming muttered something in his mouth, and the mana surged all over his body. He spread out his five fingers on his right hand, grabbed it straight into the void, and shouted: "Imperative!"
"..."
"call."
A faint sound of wind blew the corners of the cloth.
But other than that, nothing happened.
Several people looked directly at Pei Ming, who immediately looked embarrassed and retracted his palm angrily.
'He has strong self-esteem and is headstrong and proud, but he doesn't seem to have much official experience.'
On the side, Li Kui observed Pei Ming.
'Being able to become a member of Qianhu is partly due to his strength, and the rest should be his status in the Wudang Taoist Sect.'
Immediately afterwards.
"Pei Qianhu, if you want to attract the soul of Monk Fan, you'd better give up."
Li Kui glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid he's gone out of his mind a long time ago."
"..."
Pei Ming opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he just clenched his fists without saying a word.
at the same time.
Li Kui's eyes were filled with thoughts.
He was certain that there was definitely something hidden in what Zhu Di said last night, especially the conversation with Lu Shidao. It was impossible for the emperor to make such an arrangement without any reason based on the emperor's scheming.
Let the Wudang disciples in the East Factory cooperate with the investigation.
Finally, what is the relationship between Zhu Di and Lu Shidao? Pei Ming, who is standing in front of him now, is there any problem?
All kinds of doubts settled in his eyes.
immediately,
Li Kui looked at the corpse in front of him again, his eyes slightly rippling.
Fingers touch the body.
Drowning, the body temperature was indeed extremely cold, but there were some ice cubes in Lin Dongdong's body, but this monk did not have any in his body, and his internal organs were also corroded and occupied by mold, so they looked exactly the same.
It's just...so weird.
But where the strange point lies, he still can't tell.
'Um?!'
at this time.
Li Kui raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
There is still a trace of unwillingness and obsession in this corpse.
In an instant, many speculations and thoughts passed through his mind, but the movements of his hands did not delay, and he pointed at Fan Seng's forehead.
Trace the soul!
…
…
Slightly spinning.
Suddenly, the scene around him changed.
But I saw that the space of obsession was filled with ambiguous pink mist and wisps, as if it was going to turn a hundred tempered steel into finger-wrap-around softness.
Li Kui put his hands in his pockets, stood in the void, and looked around.
joy of spring.
On the high platform, a voluptuous dancer, dressed in red gauze, is looming;
guests coming and going;
The boy carrying the fruit plate;
There is no doubt that this is a brothel.
His eyes were fixed on the corner of the brothel.
Compared to the murky face lying in the morgue, the monk in red robes now looked somewhat handsome. His eyes frequently looked to the other side, and a stunningly beautiful face came into view.
In eyes.
It made him feel thirsty and kept drinking.
‘Brothel! Woman?’
Seeing this, Li Kui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
This time I learned a lesson.
I never thought that this monk’s obsession would be a brothel girl. Maybe she would be called a beautiful brothel girl?
Then here comes the problem.
Why is it that the evil spirit has eaten all the soul, but only this trace of obsession remains?
Coincidence, or a game?
On the other hand, the only thing questionable about Lin Dongdong is his Taoist and Buddhist beliefs.
Could it be that this foreign monk did not abide by the precepts?
"Click."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from my ears.
Li Kui raised his eyes slightly and looked.
Immediately, he saw a man at the edge of the space, as if being erased by an eraser, first his head and then his body, disappearing in an instant.
It just shows that this obsession is gradually being annihilated and will disappear soon.
Li Kui looked at the plaque hanging on the high platform.
Chunyue Tower.
immediately,
He left here.
…
…
Reality.
Li Kui opened his eyes.
Pei Ming's probing gaze caught his eye, but he ignored it and turned his head to look at Yuan Bin, "Yuan Bin, do you know if there is a brothel in Beiping City called Chunyue Tower?"
"Ah, Chunyue Tower?"
Yuan Bin was stunned, not expecting that Li Kui would suddenly ask such a question, and immediately replied: "I recognize it, it's a slightly famous brothel."
'It seems to be in Peiping.'
Li Kui nodded slightly and said, "Let's go there together now.'
"Okay, Chunyue Tower is quite far from the Yamen. Sir, it will be faster if we ride there." Yuan Bin said.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked straight out of the mortuary.
The sound of footsteps faded away.
Only Pei Ming and the other three were left staring, wondering where Li Kui was causing the inexplicable commotion.
'Damn it! These two guys are so arrogant!'
Pei Ming gritted his teeth.
He had sensed a trace of magic fluctuation just now. Li Kui must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have suddenly gone to the brothel.
Do you want to follow?
But if you don't follow, you may be dragged into the water without even knowing what happened.
'no!'
Thinking about it, Pei Ming looked at the Yamen policeman and ordered:
"You must guard this monk's corpse. Someone from Dongchang will come and take it away later. Before that, no mistakes are allowed!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
The police officer quickly raised his hands and said.
Immediately afterwards.
There was a blur in front of his eyes, and Pei Ming disappeared in an instant, but he quickly chased after Li Kui and Yuan Bin.
