Chapter 29 The copper coins for buying life cannot be spent [New book, please collect it! ]
The mountain breeze is gentle, fluttering my clothes.
The fluttering butterflies among the flowers and under the grass are like the skirts of a young girl, lively and vibrant.
Outside Deyun Temple, three small stools were lined up in a row. Yu Qian'an led Li Chu and Xiao Yue'er, and they all struck the same pose with their left hands supporting their chins, staring into the room in a daze.
I felt happy on the first day, felt fulfilled on the second day, and felt a little bored on the third day.
Only Xiaoyue remained interested and asked from time to time what this one did and what that one did.
Of course, it was most likely the question she asked yesterday.
Sometimes she remembers that she asked this question yesterday, but she still asks it again.
Because she couldn't remember what the answer was.
Life in the Taoist temple is like this, just like the leisurely white clouds outside the mountains.
Passing by slowly.
Li Xinyi's arrival broke the peace.
Her outfit today was extremely eye-catching. The dress was rose red in color, with her left shoulder slanted open, exposing her entire white and round shoulder and half of her deep collarbone. Her chest was firm and her tight waist showed off her proud curves.
A pair of snow-white long legs are faintly visible in the slit of the skirt.
Her long hair was still tied up high, and her beautiful eyes were shining with light, locking onto Li Chu's lazy figure from afar.
As she approached, the workers laying bricks in the front yard were all stunned. But they were not scolded because the foreman was also stunned.
When they got closer, Li Xinyi saw Xiaoyue sitting next to Li Chu.
The girl's delicate face and clear eyes suddenly made her look nervous as if she was facing a great enemy.
Wait until her eyes fall on the girl's chest again.
The tension was immediately relieved by 70%.
Since ancient times, heroes have loved mountains, and I have never heard of a horse treading on plains.
…
“Master Yu, Master Li,” Li Xinyi greeted.
Li Chu watched Li Xinyi walk forward with her head held high and glanced over there.
Um.
Sure enough, there is a mole.
This frank and undisguised look naturally fell into Li Xinyi's eyes.
She smiled slightly.
Haha, man.
After some psychological activities that neither party knew about, she finally clarified the main purpose of her visit today.
In short, the case of the grudge is not over yet.
"I came to see you the day before yesterday, but you were not there, and something had already happened."
The incident happened on the second day of the exorcism in Xialiu Village, when Li Xinyi had not yet set out to return to Hangzhou Prefecture.
Two constables were buying sesame cakes together on their way to the classroom in the morning. Unexpectedly, one of the constables died suddenly just after he turned around after taking the sesame cake.
His death came without any warning, which frightened the other constable so much that he shouted for a long time to report to the police before he remembered that he was the police officer.
After the body was carried to the government office for inspection, the coroner began to doubt his life.
Because there was nothing wrong with the body, the constable was in good health and had no illness, poisoning, or external injuries, and he didn't even have any emotional fluctuations.
A living person just died out of nowhere.
It seems that it can only be explained by a mystery case.
Just when Chow Tai Fook was at a loss, something caught his attention.
The hawker selling sesame cakes handed over all the money the constable paid for the cakes to the yamen, saying that he could not accept money from a dead person.
It was just a few copper coins, no big deal, and Chow Tai Fook wouldn't care about it normally. But at that time he had no idea what to do, so he just stared at the copper coins for a while.
When he stared at it, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Normal copper coins all have "Heluo Tong Bao" written on them, but one of these copper coins has "Yinsi Tong Bao" written on it, which is a word that has never been seen before.
He immediately handed the case over to Li Xinyi.
Li Xinyi reported to Chaotianque and learned that "Yinsi Tongbao" was the copper coin of the Ghost Country.
The Ghost Kingdom on Earth is said to be a kingdom established by countless ghosts that remain in the world of the living. It is illusory but real. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and every time it appears in the world, it brings great disasters.
This is a big deal.
Zhou Dafu went to check where the constable got the copper coins from this evil country. He didn't know until he checked, and he was shocked.
It turns out that this copper coin is related to the previous two cases of vengeful spirits.
On the day of the Xialiu Village massacre, the deceased constable went to collect the bodies, and the body of the little girl was found by him at the foot of the mountain.
The copper coin was held in the little girl's hand at that time.
When collecting the body, the copper coin fell to the ground, and he put it in his pocket without looking at it carefully. At that time, another colleague also said to him that if he took advantage of the dead, he might suffer retribution.
But he was greedy by nature and said with a smile that this was his reward for helping her collect her body.
Later, he took the copper coin and went out to buy a sesame cake. Just as he spent the money, he lost his life.
Zhou Dafu has been a veteran constable for many years and still has the necessary sense of smell.
He immediately went to check the body of the eldest lady of the Xue family.
After the eldest lady committed suicide that day, the Xue family collected her body. Zhou Dafu led people to pry open the eldest lady's coffin and found that she indeed had a copper coin in her mouth.
It is exactly "Yinsi Tongbao".
The hidden clues finally surfaced after being connected front and back.
Why are there so many strange cases in Yuhang Town and why are there rare vengeful spirits appearing one after another?
There is a powerful ghost behind this!
Although the case has not yet been fully solved, this has completely proved his innocence. He has not failed to do his job properly and has not made a false report.
I'm not lying, I'm being targeted, do you understand?
Chow Tai Fook is proud.
After that, it was Li Xinyi's turn to be worried.
She asked her master again and confirmed that this copper coin was a means used by the ghost, called "life-buying money."
This is an extremely vicious trick, designed to seduce people who are resentful. They use this money to buy their lives, and after death the person will turn into a vengeful spirit.
As for the death of the constable, it was indeed an unprovoked disaster. He spent the money of others to buy their lives, and lost his own life as well. Fortunately, he had no resentment in his heart, so he did not turn into a resentful spirit.
She realized that there was indeed the big case she was expecting, and if it could be solved, it would definitely be a great achievement.
But at the same time, she was also worried whether she was capable enough to solve this strange case. After all, she almost failed the last time she dealt with a vengeful spirit.
That's why she came to Li Chu for help the day before yesterday.
But she came up empty-handed at that time, so she had to find a solution on her own.
After reviewing the previous cases of vengeful spirits, she discovered that the ghost behind the scenes must have a way to sense resentment.
Whenever there is strong resentment, it will go over and seduce people to work for it in exchange for the opportunity to transform into a vengeful spirit and take revenge on the vengeful person.
Before the vengeful spirit appears, someone must have died first.
So she asked Zhou Dafu and other detectives to keep a close eye on the area day and night, and any disappearance or death in Yuhang County must be reported immediately.
Sure enough, within two days, new news of death came.
…
When she was talking about this, men, women, young and old from Deyun Temple gathered around, as if listening to a story.
After listening to her story, Xiao Yue shrank her shoulders in fear and whispered, "So picking up other people's money will kill you?"
Yu Qian'an quickly patted the little girl's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, we will only pick them up and not spend them, I guarantee you will be fine."
If Xiaoyue doesn't dare to pick up money when she goes out in the future because of what she heard, she will suffer a great loss. She is now a key figure in revitalizing Deyun Temple!
Li Xinyi looked at the handsome face of the young Taoist priest and asked, "Can you help me?"
Li Chu was a little bored these days, so he didn't think much about it and nodded directly: "Okay."
A smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face, just like a blooming flower.
She took the initiative to say, "The reward will be the same as before, and if the real culprit behind this can be found, it can be increased."
Li Chu nodded calmly.
With Xiaoyue'er as a stable source of income, he really doesn't have to worry too much about the unstable bounty from the government office.
Making money is so troublesome, it is not as convenient as picking up money.
He agreed to help this time, partly out of a sense of justice and a desire to maintain peace in Yuhang Town.
Well, at least half.
"Okay, let's go see the deceased now." Li Xinyi stood up quickly.
"Where are you going?" Li Chu asked.
Li Xinyi said, "Spring is all over the building."
