Chapter 13 A simple, kind, handsome charlatan [New book, please collect it! ]
Peach leaves are pointed at the tips.
The willow leaves covered the sky.
The girl jumped and came to Li Chu.
"Hello, I'm Li Xinyi, a purple-robed guard from Chaotianque." Her voice was clear and her tone was soft, which sounded pleasant.
When the detectives in the classroom behind heard this, they were all shocked and their jaws dropped to the ground.
This girl had a fierce expression, a dry voice and a hard tone in front of us, how come she suddenly turned into a soft girl?
The speed of changing face is so terrifying!
Li Chu didn't care whether the person in front of him was a soft girl or a tigress, he only cared about the name he heard.
Facing the sky.
well.
He sighed secretly, and said with a folded hand: "I am Li Chu, a Taoist priest from Deyun Temple outside Yuhang Town. Since the Lord of Chaotianque is here, I should not be needed, right?"
In fact, what he really said in his heart was, then my bounty should be gone, right?
Of course Li Chu knew what Chaotianque was used for.
At that time, the Heluo Dynasty conferred titles on the twelve immortal sects, which were divided into seven sects and five schools.
The Zhongzhou Imperial Court Chaotianque is one of the five major sects.
Among all the great sects, Chaotianque is very different. The difference is that although it is an independent sect, it serves the Heluo court.
This involves some high-level secrets that must not be known to outsiders.
In short, Chaotianque can now be regarded as a court agency specializing in matters concerning ghosts and gods, with offices in every continent and capital.
Li Chu is a person who knows himself well.
It was because Chaotianque could not be opened to the town that he had the business of helping the government to exorcise evil spirits.
Since people from the imperial court have come, I should tactfully withdraw.
"Hey, why not?" Li Xinyi rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I just got here and don't know the situation yet. I need a local to help me solve the strange case better."
After she said this, a low cough was heard behind her, and the wretched images of the constables flashed through her mind.
They are not considered human beings.
She defined it quickly.
Huh?
Li Chu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Does the government still need my help?"
"Of course, you can come with me later. I don't have any knowledgeable helpers." Li Xinyi said.
At the same time, she solemnly declared in her heart that this was for the purpose of investigating the case.
I have always suspected this Taoist priest! I will take this opportunity to get close to him and see if he is up to something!
Yes, that's it.
Even though he doesn't look suspicious...
But you have to understand it more deeply to know it.
Li Chu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then my reward..."
“Give it as originally planned.” Li Xinyi waved his hand.
Even though someone has come to Chaotianque, logically speaking, this bounty should not be offered.
But... the money comes from the government anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's used to hire an insignificant person who's just for eye-catching purposes.
Can public money be called money?
Li Chu smiled when he heard this, and he also felt a little more favorable towards this generous girl.
He nodded and added: "Of course, this is not about money. We cultivators have the duty to eliminate demons and defend the Way."
“Young Taoist priest, you have a very high level of awareness.” Li Xinyi praised with a smile.
At the same time, I screamed in my heart, he is so cute when he is obviously greedy for money but refuses to admit it!
Speaking of which.
A greedy person and a lustful person...are a perfect match.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Oh, don't call me sir, I'm still a kid."
"Forehead……"
Chatting in this way, the two of them left side by side and went to the scene of the strange crime.
The remaining group of detectives behind him looked at each other in bewilderment.
How are you small? You are not small at all, right?
Very big!
And...Mr. Big Sir, did you leave anything behind?
Don't you bring detectives with you when you investigate a case? Although we didn't want to go anyway.
Then you should at least bring the captain with you, right? Oh, the captain was knocked unconscious by you.
Looking at the two people's backs, one handsome and the other graceful, the detectives couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Judging from the style of the painting, are you really going to catch ghosts?
…
Li Chu and Li Xinyi walked along the river bank for two or three miles and arrived at Xialiu Village where the strange case took place.
The water was sparkling along the way, the sunset was shining on the mountains, and the warm breeze was blowing on your face, making the journey quite comfortable.
On the way, Li Xinyi carefully checked Li Chu's breath and found that there seemed to be no fluctuation of true energy in him.
So she asked, "Little Taoist priest, which of the seven realms of heaven and man have you reached now?"
"Hmm?" Li Chu was stunned for a moment, then asked truthfully, "What are the seven realms of heaven and man?"
“Haha, these are just insignificant things.” Li Xinyi shook her hands, as if it really didn’t matter.
At the same time, she completely let go of her doubts about Li Chu.
There was no fluctuation of true Qi, and he didn't even know what the Seven Realms of Heaven and Man were. This showed that Li Chu had no idea about cultivation and it was impossible for him to commit a serious crime like raising a ghost to cause trouble.
Then it’s obvious…
He is just a simple, kind, handsome charlatan.
The affairs of the scammers are not the responsibility of Chao Tianque.
If it's an ugly liar, Lord Li wouldn't mind taking care of him on behalf of the detectives.
Moreover, it is quite impressive that one person could deceive the entire Yuhang Town government for such a long time.
Love it.
…
Soon, the two of them arrived at Xialiu Village. Li Xinyi's expression also began to become serious, and he regained some of the demeanor of a Chaotianque disciple.
As for Li Chu, he has always been serious.
Compared to dealing with Li Xinyi's chat, he still felt that dealing with the vengeful spirits was easier.
This tragedy happened at the Fang family in Xialiu Village.
A small shabby courtyard with only a few thatched houses is located at the end of a village with few gates. It seems that the Fang family is not only poor, but also has a bad relationship with the villagers.
People from the yamen had come to clean up early in the morning, and the scene had been cleared up by now.
It looked like just an empty yard, and although the house was a mess, there was no blood stain.
Li Xinyi had read the case files several times before coming here and was very familiar with the case.
"There are four people in the Fang family. The father is Fang Da, 33 years old. The son is Fang Gang, 12 years old. The mother is Fang Liu, 23 years old. The daughter is Chen Yingying, 4 years old." She gave Li Chu a brief introduction.
"Fang Da's daughter Chen Yingying?" Li Chu immediately grasped the blind spot.
Li Xinyi paced back and forth in the courtyard, seemingly measuring something, while explaining:
"Both Fang Da and Fang Liushi were divorced. Fang Da's ex-wife... was beaten to death by him, and Fang Liushi's ex-husband died of illness. Both of them remarried with their children."
Li Chu was silent for a moment.
Li Xinyi's voice also lowered halfway through her speech.
It is indeed a speechless thing that a man can beat his wife to death and still live a good life and marry another wife.
After a pause, Li Xinyi continued, "Someone said that Fang Liu was seen looking for her daughter in the village last night. She said Yingying was missing, but she probably didn't find her."
"Early this morning, someone who went to the fields found something wrong. The door of Fang's house was not open, and all the poultry and dogs in the yard were dead. The brave villagers went in and saw a horrifying scene."
"According to the autopsy results, Fang Liu was killed by a blunt object hitting the back of the head, and Fang Gang was poisoned. The reason why we determined that it was a vengeful spirit that committed the crime was because of Fang Da. He strangled himself to death. The body was freezing cold, and there were two ghost handprints on his neck, which were obvious signs of vengeful spirit possession."
Li Chu touched his chin. It seemed a bit complicated.
Fang Liu and Fang Gang must have been murdered, because it is impossible for ghosts to use methods such as poisoning and beating.
But Fang Da was killed by a ghost again.
He asked, "Where's the little girl?"
"Chen Yingying's body was found behind the mountain. She fell down the hillside and died."
It was indeed a tragedy that wiped out an entire family.
But Li Chu was a little confused about the various ways of death.
However, it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out. He is not a constable in the yamen, so he doesn't need to explore the truth of the case.
As long as there are ghosts here, it's fine.
A cool breeze blew over from the other side of the mountain, easily blowing through the walls of the Fang family's thatched cottage, making a humming sound.
It sounded like someone was crying.
unconsciously.
It's getting dark.
Li Xinyi looked at Li Chu very seriously and said, "Don't act rashly without my order. The vengeful spirit is different from ordinary ghosts. Once it is angered, things will be very troublesome."
In her heart, Li Chu was definitely a charlatan.
So her request to Li Chu was that he just didn't cause any trouble.
This was a rare tenderness for Li Xinyi, a new Purple Guard of Chaotianque.
