The materials in Qiuye's hand were not recorded in detail, only a few names, so he had to rely on the association's relationship to filter out the ordinary people with the same name from the vast sea of people, and the remaining ones were locked into alien identities.
.
This kind of super efficiency also made Li Moyan very envious. I had only heard that the administrative department had very high powers before, but this time I have learned a lesson. If only four people were responsible for such a huge screening work, the murderer would probably die of old age.
They can't finish it either.
There were a total of more than forty names listed in the materials. After filtering out those who were murdered, there were still twelve people left. Among these twelve people, two more died of illness in their early years. Therefore, the final target was only ten people.
Six of these ten people are still living in Shandong, and the others have been scattered across the country, so Li Moyan also suggested starting with these six people.
This kind of macro-statistical things sometimes have deviations. Even after the detailed information has been determined, Li Moyan still made a lot of detours. When he knocked on the door of the first house, he was told that the original residents had moved out.
I can only pretend to be a distant relative and ask along the way to find him.
Of the six people, Qiuye and Fang Tianyi checked three, and Li Moyan and Pang Zhuzhu checked three. Let alone three at the moment, it took Li Moyan four days to finally find this person.
But as soon as he informed him of his intention, he was kicked out by this person, which made Li Moyan annoyed and angry. But he finally found a clue, and he was unwilling to give up easily, so he had to take turns with Pang Zhuzhu.
This clue was a man in his thirties who rarely went out on weekdays. After driving Li Moyan and Pang Zhuzhu away, he stayed at home even more. After observing for a while, Li Moyan simply squatted at his door and locked the door.
His takeout, express delivery, everything was blocked.
At first, the man could hold on, but Li Moyan kept squatting at the door for three days in a row, eating his takeout and unpacking his express delivery. While eating, he muttered outside the door: "Brother, you are a little bit mouthy."
It’s heavy. I’ll order it next time and don’t order it so spicy.”
Being intercepted by a scoundrel like Li Moyan squatting at the door, the man had no choice but to open the door. Li Moyan was having a good meal here. When he heard the door ring, he quickly turned his head. Unexpectedly, as soon as the man opened the door, he knelt down to him.
He got off: "Brother, I beg you to let me go. If you do this again, I will starve to death."
Li Moyan picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and waved it in front of his eyes. When the man looked at it and swallowed, he stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it and said with a smile: "It's a little too oily."
The man said in an almost mournful voice: "Brother, it's not that I don't say anything, but I cherish my life. I know everything about them. I don't want to die so early. Even Lao Liu can't survive it."
When Li Moyan heard this, his movements were slightly stagnant. Even though this old man didn't go out very often, he seemed to be very aware of what was going on outside. Old man Liu wrote the words Soul-Retaining Lantern to Qiuye, and he died suddenly at home that day.
This happened not long ago.
"How do you know about Old Man Liu?" Li Moyan asked sharply.
The man's emotions were a little broken, and he kept shaking his head: "Please, brother, don't push me, you are really pushing me. I don't care if you are a member of the association or not!"
Li Moyan put the takeout aside and lit a cigarette: "What do you mean, do you still want to fight with me? I can tell you, even if you fight and I accidentally kill you, the association will still protect me. But you
It's different. If you tell me everything, you are one of our own, and the association will protect you."
The man was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "
This is not a question of who can keep it. The contract signed back then is still there, so we can’t say.”
This sentence was the man's biggest concession. Li Moyan could also hear the helplessness in it, so he patted his shoulder and whispered: "Brother, excuse me." Then he turned and left.
The man looked at Li Moyan's back and hesitated to speak. After a long while, he finally shouted: "Hey!"
Li Moyan quickly turned around, thinking that the man had something to say, but unexpectedly, the man finally lowered his head and said softly: "Brother, I'm sorry."
After bidding farewell to the man, Li Moyan began to make a calculation in his mind. The man's words made it clear that the contract from that year was still there. This shows that there was some kind of contract between the victims and the murderer. These dead people may have triggered the restrictions subject to the contract.
, which leads to the final death.
In this case, it is logical that Old Man Liu died unexpectedly for no reason. After all, he wrote the words "soul arresting lamp" on the note. Judging from the man's expression, he must have been helpless.
When he walked downstairs, he met Pang Zhuzhu who came to take over. Looking at Pang Zhuzhu's fat face full of freckles, Li Moyan smiled slightly and came up with a plan.
"Li Moyan, I think you are crazy, I won't do it!" Pang Zhuzhu fell out after hearing Li Moyan's method.
Li Moyan put his arm around Pang Zhuzhu's shoulders and said angrily: "Zhuzhu, we are buddies. You can't just sit idly by and watch when our buddies are in trouble."
"One code, one code! It won't work anyway, don't even think about it!" Pang Zhuzhu refused to give in to Li Moyan's method, and it was obvious that she had touched her bottom line.
Li Moyan's smile faded: "In this case, we can only take heavy action. Do you think this is okay?..."
After hearing Li Moyan's second idea, Pang Zhuzhu hesitated and said: "Then... OK, Li Moyan, why are you so shady? If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come here."
Li Moyan was having fun, led Pang Zhuzhu upstairs again, and knocked on the man's door.
"Who?"
"takeout!"
The man had let Li Moyan starve for several days, and the house had already run out of food and ammunition. He hurriedly opened the door, but saw a flash of golden light, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.
Li Moyan stepped over the fallen man, took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen, looked at the man condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry."
If anyone was passing by at this time, they must have thought that the house had been robbed, and if not, they would destroy the body and eliminate all traces. Unexpectedly, Li Moyan just picked up the man's hand and cut a small incision. The moment blood seeped out, he raised his head and shouted:
"Hurry, Piggy, hurry up."
Pang Zhuzhu reluctantly took the man's finger into her mouth, closed her eyes slightly, and soon she frowned and said with disgust: "This otaku is so disgusting."
"Key point! Key point!" Li Moyan urged in a low voice for fear that the man would wake up.
A few minutes later, Li Moyan and Pang Zhuzhu drove away from the man's residence. Their goal was to investigate the last man on the list named Fengguan.
On the way, Li Moyan called Qiuye and informed Qiuye of the details. The latter also set off from the other end without stopping, preparing to meet Li Moyan.
But he didn't know that just when he and Pang Zhuzhu left, a green light slowly floated out from the house, transforming into a woman with long hair, long legs, short skirt and bare feet, who was the spirit of the Soul-Retaining Lamp.
Qi Ling sat on the lamp pole with his legs crossed, looking at the man lying on the ground jokingly, smiled evilly, stretched out his hand towards him, and the man was covered in a
Ji Ling woke up.
"You violated the rules." The voice of the weapon spirit sounded faintly.
The moment the man saw the weapon spirit, his entire mind went blank. He had only one thought, and that was to escape! Obviously, he knew about the weapon spirit and was deeply afraid of it.
"I didn't! I didn't say anything! I didn't say anything!" the man yelled and ran downstairs.
But the weapon spirit never gave him a chance to escape. The soul arresting lamp under the seat suddenly turned on, and his delicate hands grabbed him from the air. The man collapsed to the ground softly, no longer breathing.
In front of an old residential building, Li Moyan repeatedly checked the information on the address and then knocked on the iron security door in front of him. The person who opened the door was a man, but he was not the man Li Moyan saw in the magic weapon.
He was slightly disappointed.
The man in front of him was wearing a pair of high myopia glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. He was short and thin. His hair had obviously not been combed for a long time and was disheveled. He had nothing in common with the gorgeous man in the magic weapon.
However, when the man saw Li Moyan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. This was caught by Li Moyan attentively. This man definitely had something going on.
"Hello, I'm looking for a closure." Li Moyan said very politely.
"You've got the wrong one! I don't want to close the door." The man was about to close the door with an expressionless face.
"Hey, don't panic. According to our registration, the residents of this place are called Fengguan. If you are not the one, do you know where he went?" Li Moyan quickly blocked the door with quick eyes and hands.
The man looked a little impatient: "I don't know, don't bother me, I'm busy."
With a "bang", Li Moyan and Pang Zhuzhu were shut down, and they looked at each other. Pang Zhuzhu scratched his nose and said with certainty: "This is the person."
"I know." Li Moyan smiled slightly.
"How do you know?"
Li Moyan pointed at his eyes and said, "Look at the eyes."
Knocking on the door again, Li Moyan first blocked the door frame with his hand and said: "Fengguan, I understand everything about you. I only want to come here to resolve the problem peacefully."
The man looked at Li Moyan, hesitated for a moment, then let go of the doorknob and said, "Come in and talk."
The room is very simple, and the most conspicuous thing is the antique shelves on the surrounding walls, which are filled with strange-shaped bottles and cans. After the two of them sat down, the man made tea and placed cigarettes.
"We are members of the association, and you should also know why we are here to find you. However, those matters are not under my control for the time being. I am here this time just to ask you for two people." Li Moyan said straight to the point.
Although he let the two of them into the house, made tea and put out cigarettes, the man's attitude was still lukewarm, and he said with a somewhat distracted look: "I have experienced many people and many things. There is a truth. I
I don’t know if you understand it clearly or not, it’s said that if someone doesn’t do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.”
The man's words also admitted in disguise that he was the Fengguan they were looking for, but he did not mention the matter of Lu Buren and Lu Ruyi.
"Those two thousand-year-old souls are very important to me." Li Moyan understood the meaning behind the seal, but understanding it did not mean compromise. These two people must be obtained, and there is no room for negotiation.
Feng Guan sneered: "Unfortunately, they are also very important to me." As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Moyan, with a temperament in his eyes that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance.
That look in his eyes was as aloof as the man in the magic weapon!
