After a while, everyone in the room slowly smelled the scent of sandalwood, which overwhelmed the smell of raw meat in the room. Soon, the stench in the room disappeared, and everyone smelled the scent of sandalwood.
"The person has come out. You carry him out and put a bucket of bath water in." Gu Mingtai looked at Gao Zuren.
Gao Zuren nodded immediately and called his two younger brothers. Together, the three of them carried the sticky Chief Gao off the bed and into the bathroom next door.
When the three brothers carried Commander Gao past him, Zhang Meng tightly grasped the arm of the man next to him and said in a low voice, "Gu Mingtai, Commander Gao has a lot of flesh on his body."
She also noticed that the pieces of flesh attached to Chief Gao's body all had faces, and they were all different, with expressions of fear and pain. This must have been the mood of those who had been subjected to this kind of black magic before their death.
Gu Mingtai patted the back of her hand, which was a little cold, and said, "Don't be afraid."
Soon, they all crowded into the bathroom next door.
The three sons of the Gao family had prepared a piece of clothing for their father that covered his important parts.
Chief Gao, who was sitting in the bathtub, had his eyes closed. If his chest hadn't been moving, someone who didn't know him would have thought he was dead.
"Xiao Meng, burn a piece of paper to ward off evil spirits and sprinkle it into the water." Gu Mingtai shouted to Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng nodded and tossed the talisman she had taken out a while ago into the air, chanting the incantation again. The talisman, floating in the air as if blown by the wind, spun several times before spontaneously combusting. After a short while, it reduced to a pile of ash that scattered into the tub below. "It's done," Zhang Meng glanced at Gu Mingtai.
"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Gu Mingtai poured out one third of the blood in the basin in his hand.
The blood seemed to move, turning into a blood thread and crawling up the seated leader.
“This, this, this…” The Gao family members looked at it with horror on their faces.
In their eyes, they only saw the blood crawling on their father's body, but in the eyes of Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, the blood dragged the human face flesh pieces attached to Chief Gao's body into the water.
The faces and flesh that fell into the water dissolved into a pool of blood and melted into the blood in the tub. This wasn't Zhang Meng's first encounter with foreign magic, but every time she encountered it, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her feet, and couldn't help but think of a saying: This world's culture is truly profound and extensive.
Chief Gao soaked in the bathtub for almost half an hour. In the eyes of the Gao family, the layer of mucus on his body looked like sweat flowing into the tub.
At this time, Chief Gao, who was sitting in the barrel, finally opened his eyes which had been closed.
"Dad, you're awake." "Dad, you're awake. We were all so worried about you."
When the Gao family members saw Chief Gao wake up, they no longer cared about the disgusting food in the bucket and rushed towards Chief Gao who was sitting in the bucket.
It really is a picture of filial piety.
Chief Gao looked at his children who were gathered around him and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with me? Why are you all here?"
"Dad, you've been hit by a black magic. Do you know that you've locked yourself in the room for almost ten days? We're all worried to death." Gao Zuyi looked at his father excitedly.
"I was hit by a black magic? How is that possible?" As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Gao lowered his head and glanced at where he was. The bath water he was bathing in was actually red blood. "What is this? Why is there such a strong smell of blood!"
"Dad, that was our blood. Comrade Gu said that in order to save you, we had to use the blood of four of us brothers and sisters. Each of us shed a bowl of blood." Gao Shufen cried with fake tears.
The color on Chief Gao's face at this moment was like a big dye vat, with all kinds of colors.
"Investigate, investigate for me, who did it." Chief Gao is indeed a big shot who has been in a high position. He was just angry, and the overwhelming aura he exuded made many people present feel a little overwhelmed.
Gao Zuren's lips turned pale as he called out to Chief Gao, "Dad, Comrade Gu seems to know how to find the person who harmed you."
Upon hearing this, Commander Gao immediately looked towards Gu Mingtai and said, "Comrade Gu, we meet again!"
Gu Mingtai nodded towards him, his attitude neither respectful nor humble, "Hello, Chief Gao."
Chief Gao stared at the couple for a while and said, "I never thought that we would meet again in this way. It's really embarrassing."
After laughing at himself, Commander Gao immediately continued to question Gu Mingtai, "I just heard my eldest son say that you know how to catch the person who hurt me? What is the method?"
Gu Mingtai suddenly smiled and lowered his eyes. "Chief Gao, are you really going to tell me how to catch your killer now?"
Chief Gao followed his gaze and lowered his head. Suddenly, his old face flushed and he coughed softly. "Zu Ren, stay and serve me. You all go out."
Except for Gao Zuren who stayed, the other members of the Gao family walked out of the bathhouse one after another.
Gu Mingtai walked at the back holding Zhang Meng's hand.
"Gu Mingtai, do you really know who the murderer is?" Seeing that the Gao family members gathered on the other side and whispered, Zhang Meng also lowered her voice and asked the man next to her.
"It's easy to find out. The murderer is among these people." Gu Mingtai glanced at the group of Gao family members as if unintentionally.
Zhang Meng understood immediately, took a breath, and pretended to glance at the group of people hurriedly. He was secretly shocked, and at the same time curious about who the murderer was.
"Would you like to walk with me?" Gu Mingtai suddenly asked.
Zhang Meng looked at the closed door and asked, "What should we do inside?"
"Let them wait when they come out. It's not us who ask them to do anything, it's them who ask us to do something for them. It's fair to let them wait."
After Zhang Meng finished speaking, Gu Mingtai took her hand and left the second floor and went down to the back of the house on the first floor.
The young couple walked to the downstairs part of the western-style building where people lived and met an old lady who was sweeping the floor.
"Auntie, you look so bad. You must have been suffering from insomnia recently!" Gu Mingtai walked up to Zhang Meng holding her hand and said.
The cleaning lady was stunned, looked at the two of them, and suddenly remembered that these two were the two masters invited back by the host family to cure the master's strange disease?
