Chapter 162 The case is confusing
The King of Qin and Shen Xi were reading the files carefully. They both looked serious and focused, and they didn't even bother to drink the tea beside them.
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, the "world's best detective", looked at the piles of files on the table and immediately lost interest in investigating the case.
After flipping through two files carelessly, he pushed the files away. "This stuff makes people dizzy. I'm going to take a walk outside. You two should study hard! If you find any clues later, just report to me."
The King of Qin buried his head in the file and ignored him. Shen Xi raised his head from the file, smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "Senior Ghost Hand, please go outside and relax. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters. When I find clues to the case, I will report to you. Please analyze and advise."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor gave him a satisfied look of praise, put his hands behind his back, and walked out to relax.
The King of Qin also raised his head from the file and gave Shen Xi a look of approval. : "Sir Shen, you have diagnosed my uncle's condition very well. You are good at prescribing the right medicine for the right disease!"
Shen Xi smiled awkwardly, and buried his head in the files again.
Luo Li took a nap after lunch. After waking up, he took Hong Gu, Yu Li and Si Yu to the artificial lake in the villa.
Beyond the courtyard wall, there were green mountains in the distance. The lake in the courtyard was rippled by the breeze. The weeping willows by the lake were reflected in the clear water, which was refreshing.
"Miss, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, with many mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It is really a good place to live. We want to settle down here. Should we buy a ready-made house or buy land to build it?" Si Yu asked.
Luo Li was worried and said absentmindedly: "It depends! It's better to buy a ready-made house. It takes too much effort to buy land and build it."
Yu Li asked the young lady in confusion: "Miss, why did you choose Changhua and Chengdu to build your home? Is the Feng Shui of these two places good?"
Luo Li sat down on the stone bench by the lake.
"The two places I chose are Feng Shui treasures.
Chengdu is located in the heart of Shu, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is rich and safe. This Changhua was Hangzhou in the past, and it will become a prosperous capital in the future.
When the war in the north is turbulent in the future, our children and grandchildren can live a few more years of peace and prosperity in these two places."
Yu Li laughed! : "Miss, you are so far-sighted and thoughtful. You have even planned for the peaceful and prosperous life of your children and grandchildren."
[Silly girl, you don't know! In the future, when the northern enemies invaded, the Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty. Hangzhou was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin'an, and it could survive for another 200 years. ]
: "Miss, look!... How did that white beast follow here?" Hong Gu pointed at a fleeting white shadow and exclaimed in surprise!
Luo Li also saw the white shadow and frowned slightly, "It should be the little spirit beast we met in Luoyang. It's been a long journey through mountains and rivers for several days. Did it hide in the boat and follow us?"
The bold and open-minded Si Yu said happily, "This white little spirit beast is so cute! It must have fallen in love with you, young lady, and wants to be your pet, right?"
"A little beast takes the initiative to come to you and wants to be your pet? This is so interesting.
Young lady, you are such a great person! Not only do people like to follow you, but even little beasts like to follow you. This little beast must be a spirit beast that has achieved the right result in cultivation." Yu Li chattered excitedly.
Luo Li also became interested, "Sprinkle some delicious snacks around to attract it, and I will subdue this spiritual beast as a pet!"
Yu Li immediately ran back to the house, found some meat jerky and cakes, ran back and placed the delicious bait around, and waited for the little spiritual beast to take the bait.
Several people stopped laughing and waited for a long time, but the little spiritual beast did not appear.
Luo Li said disappointedly, "It seems that this little thing is alert and cunning. It will not show up when there are people.
Let's go! Let's go back to drink tea and eat delicious food!"
Yun Yi suddenly appeared and bowed, "Princess, the prince invites you to the study in the front yard."
"Isn't he busy investigating a case with Shen Xi, the number one detective in the capital? Why did you invite me to the study?"
Yun Yi smiled slightly, "Shen Xi is no longer the number one detective in the capital. The ghost hand poison doctor senior snatched his crown and stepped on it. The ghost hand senior calls himself the number one detective in the world."
Luo Li couldn't help but "puff" when she heard it!
"This shameless old guy, he tries to put all kinds of high hats on his head. Is he the material for investigating cases?
Let's go! Let's take a look. Let's see how my thick-skinned old apprentice investigates cases?" Luo Li became interested.
Seeing the Princess of Qin coming, Shen Xi hurriedly stood up and saluted!
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who was sitting at the table eating snacks and drinking tea, also stood up, moved a chair over to show his courtesy, and saluted his master with his actions.
After Luo Li sat down, she glanced at the piles of files on the big table. She took the fragrant tea handed over by Si Yu and tasted it slowly.
The King of Qin finished the third cup of fragrant tea. He was thirsty for half a day and was moistened by the fragrance of the tea. The tiredness of burying his head in the files was gone.
"Shen Xi, can you please tell me what you think about this case first?"
Shen Xi pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, these cases of missing children and girls seem to have no trace, but I have found several common points.
Most of the 81 missing children and 6 girls are from Changhua County, and only 23 are from surrounding prefectures. This is related to the region where they were born.
Among these children and girls, more than 30 were born on the Ghost Festival. The
Ghost Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival by the people. The name of the Ghost Festival comes from Taoism, and Buddhism calls it the Ullambana Festival.
So many missing children and girls were born on the same day, and it is also the Ghost Festival. There must be a reason.
The perpetrator is most likely a Taoist or Buddhist who practices some kind of evil skills."
The King of Qin nodded approvingly. "You can follow this line of thought and sort out all the Taoist temples and monasteries within a few hundred miles."
Shen Xi said again, "Only more than 30 people were born on Ghost Festival. I wonder what the reason is for the victims born on other days?"
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor interrupted, "The other victims must have been born on Ghost Festival! Don't you know? Many parents who give birth to children on Ghost Festival will regard their children as reincarnated ghosts.
Those with human feelings will change the birth date, while those without human feelings will abandon the child or even drown him!"
Shen Xi suddenly realized it!
He looked at Senior Ghost Hand with admiration: "Yes! There are many such things in the folk. Senior Ghost Hand is wise and intelligent, and his eyes can see through everything."
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor proudly stroked the remaining few whiskers.
"I was born on Ghost Festival, but my parents love me as if my life, and my birth date has not changed. I will still achieve extraordinary success in this life and live a long life!"
"Then send someone to find those parents and interrogate them to see if those children were also born on Ghost Festival?" King Qin made the decision. "
Yun Yi, notify Shao Zhixian and let him handle this matter immediately!"
Yun Yi took the order and sent someone to notify Shao Zhixian.
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor stroked the few whiskers again and pretended to be deep.
: "I have concluded that the perpetrator must be a rebel of Taoism! He stole those children in order to practice evil skills, probably to make medicine or for sacrifice!"
Luo Li felt a chill on her back, and she shuddered with horror!
[If it is really as the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor said, it is too cruel!
Is there such a cruel and inhumane demon in the world? ]
The King of Qin looked solemn! : "What Uncle Master said is very reasonable.
But that man has been thrown into the abyss by Master. Could it be that he is not dead? Or has another person obtained that evil skill?"
Luo Li looked at King Qin in shock and asked: "Is there really such a demon who has lost his humanity in the world? Do you know him?"
Shen Xi also looked at His Royal Highness King Qin in surprise.
The King of Qin glanced at the surprised and curious Princess and Shen Xi, "I know one.
My second uncle Xuan Yinzi once got a copy of the Nine Yin Supreme Mysterious Scripture, which contained evil magic.
He secretly practiced evil magic and killed people. When my master found out, he imprisoned him in Kunlongtan for punishment.
But he escaped four years ago and continued to cause trouble to the world. After my master came out of seclusion, he tracked him down for thousands of miles and found his trace in Tianshan. He destroyed his inner strength and threw him off a cliff.
He should have died in Tianshan. I wonder if he has anything to do with the evil demon who committed this crime?"
: "Brother, you were too kind-hearted at first. If you had destroyed his inner strength or killed him directly in Kunlongtan, he wouldn't have chased and fought for thousands of miles later, and he wouldn't have suffered internal injuries and been in seclusion again."
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor didn't care about the soft-heartedness of the elder brother.
This information shocked Luo Li!
Those dangerous rivers and lakes, strange things in the martial arts world, demons and cults that she had only seen in martial arts novels actually existed.
Luo Li asked curiously, "Ghost Hand, if you and your demon second brother were to fight, who would have better martial arts?"
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor puffed out his chest! When he saw the sarcastic look of his nephew, he lowered his back again.
: "Of course... I'm awesome!"
He turned around and sneered at the King of Qin: "What are you looking at? You can't beat me, and you still have the nerve to laugh at me?"
The King of Qin smiled indifferently: "I will honestly admit that I can't beat him, so don't brag to the princess again!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor complained angrily: "I have never boasted that I am the best martial artist in the world!
My strengths as the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor are poison and medicine. If I say that I am the second best in poison, who dares to claim to be the best?
In medicine, I am willing to admit that I am the second best in the world.
And there is also the investigation of the case . Your ability can be considered the best in the world, right? Brother Shen, are you convinced by the number one detective in Beijing?"
Shen Xi smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I am convinced! I admire Senior Ghost Hand's ability to investigate cases.
You have analyzed this confusing case thoroughly and clearly with just a few words.
If I encounter a difficult case in the future, I hope Senior Ghost Hand can give me some pointers."
Shen Xi's flattery made the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor feel extremely comfortable. He stroked his remaining beard with his hands proudly, pretending to be a hermit!
"No problem! No problem! If you encounter any confusion when handling a case
, just ask me for advice." Luo Li couldn't stand the pretense of this shameless old apprentice.
He looked at the uncle and nephew with disdain and said, "I thought you and your nephew were so powerful in martial arts? It turns out you are just two weaklings!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor immediately put down his hand that was stroking his beard, bent his waist and hunched his back, and put on a flattering smile.
He said humbly, "Princess Qin, you are right! The two weaklings, the King Qin and I, will never dare to brag in front of you again."
Shen Xi was stunned! The arrogant Ghost Hand senior was so respectful to the Princess Qin?
The King Qin glared at the Ghost Hand uncle with dissatisfaction!
[Am I a weakling? Am I as shameless as you to brag and pretend? 】
