Chapter 118 Backlash
Seeing Yue Mingli's scruffy beard and exhausted face, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, you haven't slept since you left last night, have you?"
Yue Mingli yawned loudly: "Yes, I just arrested someone and interrogated him."
"Don't mention it. No matter how we asked him, he just wouldn't speak. Later we found out he was mute, so we went to find someone who could sign language."
Yue Mingli found it funny even when he talked about it, and what they didn't expect was that the killer on the rainy night confessed surprisingly readily.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come back now and I would have to waste time with him.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Yue Mingli waved his hands and said, "It's worth it no matter how hard it is if we can catch the person. What I'm afraid of is that we won't be able to catch the person and let down the people's trust in us."
"Zhi Qiu, don't you have anything to say to me?" Yue Mingli noticed that Ye Zhiqiu was hesitant to speak.
"Brother, I need your help with something again." Ye Zhiqiu apologized: "It's about Yaya, and it's quite urgent."
"What's the matter?"
Ye Zhiqiu told Yue Mingli about the evil thing, and Yue Mingli patted the handlebars: "What a coincidence, I'm going to arrest him tomorrow."
"The man we just arrested confessed that he was bewitched by this evil way and that's why he killed people one after another."
My mute mother suffers from a serious heart disease and our family has no money to treat her. I heard that there is a very powerful master on Xiangfeng Mountain in the eastern suburbs.
After the visit, the master told the mute that using a woman's heart blood as a medicine could cure his mother's heart disease.
But the woman must be wearing red clothes, even a red raincoat will do, and the action must be taken on a stormy night, so that the heart blood obtained can carry the energy of the heavenly thunder.
The mute was a filial son. He couldn't bear to see his mother suffer like that. Even though he knew he was committing a crime and would be sentenced to death if caught, he still listened to the master.
He killed four people in a row, and each of them had a deep scar on his chest.
The fifth person was caught by Yue Mingli. The mute knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he confessed everything very happily, only asking that his mother not know about it.
But he didn't know that his mother passed away not long after he left home.
After capturing the two brothers Liu Da and Liu Gui and this killer on a rainy night, Yue Mingli would definitely be rewarded and might even be promoted to a higher rank, but he felt extremely heavy-hearted.
All I can say is that even hateful people have their pitiful side.
The location of the master that the mute mentioned was the same as the address Ye Zhiqiu told him, so they should be the same person.
Early the next morning.
Ye Zhiqiu brought Ye Jiawu and Shen Xiang, and together with Yue Mingli's men, Taoist Qingfeng and his disciples, met up at the East City Gate, and they all headed to Xiangfeng Mountain together.
On the way, Yue Mingli told Taoist Qingfeng what he had learned, and then asked: "Taoist Qingfeng, have you heard of the name of Master Yuanhe?"
Master Yuanhe is the evil one, and many people in Dongcheng call him that.
Taoist Qingfeng shook his head: "I am devoted to cultivation in Yunsheng Temple and don't know much about the outside world."
Their Taoist ancestral motto is: in prosperous times, close the mountains and cultivate diligently; in troubled times, go down the mountains to help the people.
Now is a new era, the best era in history, so there is no need for them to come down the mountain.
There is a particularly dilapidated Taoist temple halfway up Xiangfeng Mountain. The plaque on the door is no longer legible, but Taoist Master Qingfeng is very familiar with this temple: "This is Yuanxiang Temple, which was built during the Song Dynasty. It was once the most popular temple in the capital and was the largest temple."
"After two major fires, one of which was caused by lightning, some people started to spread rumors that the disciples in Yuanxiang Temple had behaved improperly and angered the gods, who punished them. Others said that a monster had moved into Yuanxiang Temple, which was why it was struck by lightning."
"There is indeed such a superstitious belief, but later when I was renovating the farm, I came into contact with some university professors, and one of them told me that there is a large tripod in Yuanxiang Temple, halfway up the mountain, with no cover, which is why the thunderbolt was attracted."
"Afterwards, the Yuanxiang Temple became increasingly dilapidated, and the number of disciples decreased. Until that time, there was only one master and his young apprentice left in the temple."
"The master was in poor health and passed away after being criticized twice. The young disciple seemed to have been sent to a farm, and after that, Yuanxiang Temple was completely abandoned."
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Taoist Qingfeng and Yue Mingli took the lead. When they pushed open the gate, they saw a man sitting in the hall with his back to them.
Yue Mingli signaled to his colleagues to be ready for battle, as they didn't know who the other side was, so they had to be prepared.
Ye Jiawu and Chen Xiang also quickly stood on the left and right to protect Ye Zhiqiu.
But what they didn't expect was that when they got up, they found that the man was already dead.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand. When Taoist Qingfeng took it, he recognized at a glance that it was Yaya's birth date that was written on it.
There were yellow paper and cinnabar placed in front of him, and the incense in the incense burner had just been lit. It looked like he wanted to draw talismans, but for some reason, he died before he could finish.
Yue Mingli instructed his apprentice Xiao Li: "Go to the nearby villages and ask if anyone has seen Master Yuanhe, and then bring him here to identify whether this person is Yuanhe?"
"This person is Yuan He. I just remembered that the little disciple is called Yuan He."
Taoist Qingfeng shook his head with regret: "He was a good candidate, but he chose the wrong path."
"There are many monks and Taoists in front of the gates of hell, practicing and cultivating virtue. A single mistake can lead to eternal damnation. One wrong step will lead to all the wrong steps."
Taoist Qingfeng stepped forward and placed his hand on Yuanhe's head, and recited to him the "Sutra on the Meritorious Dharma and the Rebirth of the Pure Land" by Yuanshi Tianzun.
After leaving Yuanxiang Temple, Ye Zhiqiu asked Taoist Qingfeng: "Master, now that this person is dead, is my daughter safe from now on?"
"My dear, I told you last time that Yaya has a special fate. Ordinary evil spirits cannot approach her, not to mention that she has that piece of spiritual jade to protect her body."
"Those who get close to her will have good luck, and those who want to harm her will be harmed."
Taoist Qingfeng guessed that Yuanhe was hit back.
Yaya's fortune, wealth, and longevity are all of the highest order. People with good morals don't need to worry about these things, but those with bad morals can't handle them at all and will naturally suffer backlash, just like a pony pulling a big cart. Not only will it not be able to pull the cart, but the horse will also be tired to death.
"But her fate is indeed very easy to be coveted by others. When she is 100 days old, you take her to Yunsheng Temple. I will use a secret method to bless her with a talisman that can protect her until she is 18 years old."
"This is the only skill I have. I hope you can forgive me. When Yaya turns 18, it won't matter if she doesn't have the amulet. She will be able to protect herself, and the people around her will be able to protect her well."
If at that time, there were still people who wanted to harm her beyond their capabilities, it would be like the birthday boy buying an urn for himself - he thought he had lived too long.
