The process lasted from noon to afternoon, even the county magistrate was alarmed, but in the end no reason was found.
Fortunately, everyone was only slightly frightened and had no life-threatening danger. After the sun went down, the good-hearted neighbors gradually dispersed.
In order to prevent accidents, Lord Sun, the county lieutenant, specially kept a few strong agents, and the others, including Li Gongfu, were sent away.
Then the Sun family tremblingly cooked, ate, rested and chatted until the moon reached the zenith. After they could no longer hold on, the family dispersed one after another as usual to prepare for a rest.
However, just after the third quarter, the whirlpool that swept out inexplicably appeared again, accurately sending wisps of white smoke into everyone's mouth and nose.
Those who had already fallen asleep naturally knew nothing, while those who were still hanging on to sleep felt suddenly dizzy, and finally lost consciousness.
When it was nearly the fourth day of the shift, the shift watcher passed by the Sun family's mansion again, and as expected, he saw dozens of members of the family lying neatly on the street.
But this time, in addition to the Sun family, there were four more policemen.
They were neatly dressed, with their swords at hand, their faces were calm, and their breathing was even. If their hands and feet weren't straight, as if they were lying in coffins, they would be no different from ordinary sleepers.
With the knowledge of last night's strange things, although the watchman was also startled, he still had the courage to step forward and test it out. After discovering that the person was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the original route.
Reported to the county government.
As for the long, four-doored, dark Sun Mansion, in the eyes of the watchman, it suddenly became the entrance to an abyss. Let alone going in to find out what was going on, he felt shuddering even if he got close.
After last night's experience, Li Gongfu simply didn't go home to sleep today in order to prevent an accident. He stayed at the yamen gate.
Seeing the moon gradually moving towards the west, it was almost time to watch the fourth watch, and he thought that tonight would be a peaceful night.
Unexpectedly, the watchman ran over again out of breath and once again reported the strange things in Sun Mansion.
Although Li Gongfu was shocked, he still gave the order and clicked the troops to rush to the scene.
This time I was well prepared and had the experience from last night, so I felt a little more comfortable handling it.
However, after careful investigation, nothing was found.
After daybreak, the neighbors heard that another strange thing had happened in the Sun Mansion, and they immediately started talking about it.
At ten o'clock at noon, the Sun family members woke up on time, with blank faces on their faces, and all their reactions were as if they were yesterday.
After the county magistrate learned about this matter, he felt strange and a little awe-inspiring in his heart. While ordering an investigation into the matter, he also sent four people to the Sun Mansion to guard it.
In addition, several eye spies were carefully placed at both ends of the outer streets.
He even had to go to discuss with the neighbors, and the people took turns keeping an eye on him day and night.
Supervisor, how did this incident happen?
Mr. Sun is naturally very grateful for this arrangement.
So that night, in addition to the four policemen lying on the street, there were four more people watching and three civilians on duty.
At this moment, the whole city was in shock.
Various rumors spread all over the sky, and many good people intentionally or unintentionally came to the street where Sun's house was located, pretending to be passers-by and eating melons.
There are even some idle people who deliberately get up in the middle of the night to be the first to discover the crime scene.
So, on the fourth night, the group of people lying on their backs expanded again.
This time, there were more than twenty people who were keeping an eye on him, ranging from scoundrels and meddling people to beggars and wandering Taoist priests. They were all neatly arranged.
On the fifth night, the number doubled again.
The reason is that the news has spread outside the city, and many people passing by are eager to find out.
On the night of the sixth day, the number of people dropped sharply and became the Sun family's own again.
He had been lying on the street inexplicably for several days. The police and ordinary people who had nothing to do with him were afraid and no longer dared to act as troublemakers.
On the seventh day, he was still lying flat.
At noon on the eighth day, when the Sun family woke up from their coma, they all collapsed.
Master Sun is an official after all. He has been tortured for seven days a year and has long since decided to back down. However, as the head of the family, he always has to maintain his face.
Now that the woman at home is making a fuss and wants to retreat, he can just go with the flow.
So that night, dozens of people from the entire Sun family moved to the inn on the next street.
However, just when they breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the matter was over and the only thing weird was the mansion, something happened again that made them collapse.
Obviously everyone was lying on their own beds and sleeping, but when they opened their eyes, they were back on the familiar pile of straw.
Li Gongfu and the other detectives standing in front of him all looked sympathetic.
Mr. Sun's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
His lips trembled, but after a moment he still asked the question: "Captain Li, last night... last night..."
Li Gongfu sighed: "At three o'clock, I'm still lying in the same position!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Sun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his entire family turned pale.
Among the crowd watching the excitement outside the door, Gao Ning and the other three were hidden among them.
Gao Ning smiled: "Senior sister, at this point, the fire should be almost done, right?"
"Well! It's almost time to appear!"
Bi Xiaonian nodded lightly.
This week, not only Gao Ning's progress was smooth, but Bi Xiaonian's progress was also smooth.
Qing Songzi is indeed an old Taoist priest. Although he does not deceive people for a living, he still has the ability to tell fortunes by touching bones.
Moreover, he himself lived in a first-class room in the inn. Although he was dressed simply and looked like a monk, his two apprentices were obviously rich people.
So when he usually chatted with people in the inn and told people's fortunes, passers-by did not regard him as a charlatan, but only regarded him as an experienced Taoist who was good at teaching others.
Among them, with the cooperation of Bi Xiaonian, Qing Songzi fooled the shopkeeper and several waiters into a daze.
One of them was so innocent that he cried and begged Qing Songzi to help him change his name.
Old Taoist priests don't have this ability, so they can only find various reasons to delay.
And his behavior made onlookers convinced of his true ability.
Therefore, he has become famous only within the scope of the inn.
Compared with Lao Dao, Bi Xiaonian's achievements are much richer.
The strange case of Sun Zhai attracted a lot of people. Bi Xiaonian didn't know how to identify some evildoers among them, and used "Forget All" and special means to control them.
Gao Ning was responsible for throwing them into a portable prison, and through his absolute control, he changed their faces.
After seven days, the number of people under control reached eight, all of whom were skilled and capable of defeating many with one.
Bi Xiaonian named them after Zhao Min's eight divine arrows, and he was particularly fond of a middle-aged man in his forties named Zhao Da.
Gao Ning thought before that she wanted to directly create a team commander.
Only now did I realize that she was actually making hooks!
Gao Ning looked at the low-pressure Sun Mansion and knew that soon, there would be a hilltop belonging to them outside the city.
