Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up. "How do you lure them in? Who will be the bait?"
"Yan Ming."
Lu Mo had already discussed it with Fang Yanming. In the past few days, he and Fang Yanming had reviewed a large number of case files and discovered that in the past ten years, there had been more than ten cases of missing middle-aged men in Pingjiang. Moreover, these cases were all closed because the bodies could not be found.
The number of missing persons cases is almost one per year, and these dozen or so middle-aged men have one thing in common: none of them have ever been in a relationship, meaning they are all virgins.
If these dozen or so disappearances were all committed by Ji Wuxin, then it can be deduced that the men used by Yin Laogui to borrow life must be virgins who are physically strong.
Both Fang Yanming and Ji Wuxin meet the requirements, but Ji Wuxin definitely knows him, so Fang Yanming is more suitable as bait.
"But Yin Laogui just borrowed a life, so he probably won't borrow another one anytime soon, right?" Ye Qingqing speculated.
Lu Mo shook his head and analyzed, "Do you still remember when Yin Laogui first borrowed life?"
"Of course I remember, it was the day after I helped Zhuang Zifeng break the curse." Ye Qingqing's expression changed slightly as she spoke, and she suddenly realized, "Could it be that the old ghost's borrowing of life is related to breaking the curse?"
Lu Mo nodded, "There should be a connection. Zhu Zi said that after the curse is lifted, it will backfire on the owner, and it will definitely cause harm, and the harm will be quite severe. That's why the old ghost needs a strong young man to borrow his life."
Yin Yu is definitely over a hundred years old. According to the laws of nature, he should be an old man who is unable to move around easily by now. However, Yin Yu is full of energy and has a strong body. This should be related to the life he borrowed. But the older he gets, the more strong young men he needs.
That's why Lu Mo was so confident that Ji Wuxin would definitely come out again to find prey for the old ghost.
"How do we lure it?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump."
A cold glint flashed in Lu Mo's eyes. For both public and private reasons, he would do everything in his power to capture Ji Wuxin and rid the people of this scourge.
The place where Young Master Qian was murdered was Guose Tianxiang. Ji Wuxin's hidden identity was a cigar saleswoman. Guose Tianxiang was a place where all sorts of people mingled, and the disappearance of one or two people would not attract attention. Lu Mo speculated that Ji Wuxin would probably strike there again.
Lu Mo didn't let Ye Qingqing interfere, and she didn't say anything either, but she planned to follow quietly. At worst, she would disguise herself and Lu Mo would definitely not recognize her.

Yin Yu had circulated his energy for three cycles, but his strength was still insufficient. The backlash from Zhuang Zidong's Gu attack was too severe. If he hadn't just taken some tonics, he would have almost lost his cultivation. Yet, a strong young man had wasted his energy.
"How's the fifth brother doing?"
Ji Wuxin respectfully replied, "Fifth Junior Brother has already approached Miao Tianxiong, but Miao Tianxiong is accompanied by Second Junior Brother, and he is worried about hurting Second Junior Brother."
"No need to worry, let Fifth Brother deal with Miao Tianxiong as soon as possible." Yin Yu said without hesitation, his voice chilling.
With the treasure map of the Li family in hand, Li Wuming has no reason to live.
"Yes, I'll call Fifth Junior Brother right away." Ji Wuxin's voice was icy, like that of an emotionless robot.
"Find another tonic when you have some free time," Yin Yu commanded in a deep voice, his mood instantly souring.
The older he gets, the less effective the tonics become. Sooner or later, the life-borrowing technique will lose its effectiveness, so he must get his hands on the direct descendant's treasure as soon as possible.
Night falls.
The streets were ablaze with color, and the Guose Tianxiang club was even more dazzling and decadent. The men's pursuit of pleasure was not affected by the New Year; on the contrary, the club's business was booming.
On stage, a vulgar dance was being performed, and singers sang energetically, striking seductive poses. The audience cheered. Several pretty girls were selling cigars among them. Miao Tianxiong, dressed as a man with a mustache, sat alone drinking. In the distance was Li Wuming.
