Late at night, everything in Qingyang County is silent.
Three days have passed since I obtained the Six Senses Return to Origin Technique.
During the past three days, apart from asking people to go to the Yamen to say hello, Lin Ji spent the rest of the time practicing in seclusion at home.
"Spiritual eyes, open!"
Lin Ji suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.
His eyes swept across the closed door and saw a wild cat walking lightly on the edge of the wall of his courtyard.
Looking at the kitchen again, a mouse was pulling at the door.
This is not seeing like clairvoyance, but feedback obtained through spiritual eyes seeing through the breath of living beings.
"Is this considered the preliminary application of spiritual consciousness?" Lin Ji thought to himself.
In the yard, the mouse was pinned to the ground by a wild cat.
Lin Ji withdrew his spiritual eyes, opened the window, and looked towards the kitchen door with relish.
The wild cat was also interesting. It caught a mouse but did not eat it. Instead, it pressed the mouse's tail and let it struggle under its paws.
Occasionally, when a mouse gets tired and lies down to wait for death, it will pull at it to make it continue to struggle.
After playing for a while, the wild cat seemed to have lost all its freshness, so it opened its mouth and bit the mouse to death. Without dragging the body away, it jumped up and landed on the courtyard wall, disappearing.
"You had a great time, but I have to clean up the mess for you." Lin Ji walked out of the room helplessly and cleaned up the mouse's body.
"ah!!!"
But at this moment, a frightened roar suddenly broke the silence in Qingyang County.
"Huh?" Lin Ji looked in the direction of the sound, frowning slightly.
He quickly returned to his room and picked up his sword. When he was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Lu Cong who lived not far away.
"Boss, did you hear that? What's going on?" Lu Cong's face was still a little sleepy, but he also had the big knife in his hand.
"It's coming from the west, go and have a look."
Lin Ji led Lu Cong in the direction of the sound. Not long after walking, he met a hurried policeman.
"What's going on?" Lin Ji grabbed the other person.
"Someone died in the Song Mansion. Brother Guo has arrived and sent me to the Yamen to report the case."
Letting go of the policeman, Lin Ji looked at Lu Cong.
"Song Mansion, it must be Song Er's family."
"There are only two families with the surname Song in Qingyang County, and apart from Song Er, they are a tailor." Lu Cong answered without thinking.
Lin Ji nodded.
Quickening their pace again, the two of them soon arrived at Song Mansion.
At this time, Song Er was pacing anxiously at the door, looking into the distance from time to time. His face was ashen, mixed with a bit of fear.
As soon as he saw Lin Ji appear, he quickly came over to greet him.
"Boss, you're finally here!" Song Er breathed a long sigh of relief, and the fear on his face finally disappeared.
"What happened?"
"Let's talk as we walk, something happened to my elder brother."
Song Er led Lin Ji and Lu Cong into the Song Mansion. As he hurried toward the wing inside, he explained: "My eldest brother's wife died, and she died beside him."
"Death by your side?" Lin Ji was a little surprised and asked, "It's not a normal death for you to be so anxious, right?"
"No, I have seen my sister-in-law's body. Her face was blue, and...and..."
Song Er murmured for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to describe it. He could only smile bitterly and said: "You will know after seeing it."
While they were talking, several people had already arrived in front of Song Da's room.
The door was open, and Guo Yi's voice came from inside.
"Is it done?"
"I'm here." Lin Ji responded and walked into the room with Guo Cong.
"Lin Captou."
Lin Ji nodded and glanced at Ling Yin next to Guo Yi.
At this time, the little girl was still yawning and looked sleepy.
"Lao Guo, thank you for your hard work." Lin Ji's words didn't just mean that Guo Yi was the first to arrive at the scene in the middle of the night.
"It should be." Guo Yi smiled and nodded, not sure if he heard the implication.
While chatting, Lin Ji's eyes had already fallen on the young woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
The deceased's face was blue, but his expression was quite peaceful, as if he was sleeping.
"Captain Lin, when I just got up at night, I noticed that my wife has become like this." Song Da said cautiously, "At first, I thought her face was so bad because she was sick. Who knew..."
Lin Ji opened his spiritual eyes.
The next moment, he saw an almost black evil aura hovering around the dead body.
"The evil spirit has entered the body? Where did the evil spirit come from?" Lin Ji frowned, "Are evil spirits harming people again?"
Looking at Guo Yi, Guo Yi also confirmed: "What I saw is also evil energy."
After a while, the official from the Yamen arrived.
A man named Xing from Qingyang County has been working in the government all his life and is very reliable.
Although he was not a monk, he had seen too many evil ways to kill people, so he won Lin Ji's trust.
"Lao Xing, come and take a look."
Lao Xing came to the corpse, but he didn't rush to take action. Instead, he looked at Song Da first.
"You have to undress the deceased during the autopsy. Does Boss Song mind that?"
"You're already dead, why don't you care! I just want to know who killed my wife." Song Da said fiercely.
Lao Xing nodded and began to press his hands on various parts of the body from time to time.
After doing this, he untied the body's clothes and inspected them carefully.
"My face is blue, as if there is something stuck in my throat. It means I can't take it up in one breath and can't swallow it."
"The hair in the private parts of my armpits has turned blue and looks like steel needles. This is weird."
"There is no external injury or skeletal injury. It can be determined for the time being that it was not caused by external force."
"in addition..."
Lao Xing paused and pointed to the arm of the corpse with its sleeves removed.
"The body spots are all visible. The person has been dead for more than a day. Why are they only discovered now?"
"What?!" Song Da screamed.
Lin Ji and others also felt strange.
Looking at Song Dalian, he saw Song Dalian shaking his head.
"Impossible, I talked to her when I came back from the gambling stall at night."
Lin Ji asked: "Is there anything weird when you talk to her at night?"
"It's nothing weird." Song Da quickly explained, "When I came back in the evening, I said I was going to sleep. She nodded at me and then ignored me."
"Isn't this weird?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
Song Da smiled bitterly and said: "My wife dislikes me for keeping a few concubines outside, so she has been so cold for several months... If my father hadn't been strict and said that a wife who is worthless should not be abandoned, maybe I wouldn't
Will come back often.”
"Strange bedfellows, I really belong to you." Lin Ji looked at Song Er who was standing aside.
Song Er nodded and confirmed what Song Da said.
"Take the body back to the Yamen and don't make any noise about it."
After explaining, Lin Ji took the lead and left.
Guo Yi, Ling Yin and Lu Cong followed closely behind.
"So what should we do next, please give me an explanation!" Ayane also curiously asked Lin Ji at this time.
"Nothing else to do, let's see if we can find any other clues on the body. If we can find it, we'll investigate it. If we can't find it, we'll find it."
"How could this be? As a head catcher, how could you be so lazy?"
"Lingyin!" Guo Yi glared at the junior sister, "Captain Lin has his own opinions, so don't talk too much."
Lin Ji raised his hand to stop Guo Yi's advice and looked at the little girl.
"If there are no clues, how do you think we can investigate?"
Ayane was speechless for a moment. She stared with big eyes and murmured for a long time but couldn't come up with a plan.
Lin Ji asked again: "There is a high probability that this matter was done by an evil spirit. Even if it is found out, if the evil spirit kills and then runs away, how will you catch him? Where will you catch him?"
Ayane was even more speechless.
Lin Ji laughed twice, turned around and continued walking. This little girl still needed training.
Investigating cases, especially those involving evil spirits, is never as easy as you think.
