"A murder?" Lin Fengjiao frowned when she heard Wen Cai's words. "What does a murder have to do with me? This is something that only the captain of the investigation team should be in charge of! "
"No, Master. The captain of the investigation team said that it was done by someone who knows how to use the Art of Invisibility. Hence, Master is the most suspicious." Qiu Sheng finally regained his composure and explained to Lin Fengjiao.
Lin Fengjiao's frown deepened when she heard Qiu Sheng's words. She said to the two of them in a low voice, "Tell me what you saw. What exactly happened?"
"Master, Senior Ye, this is what happened!" Qiu Sheng was the one who started the conversation. With Wen Cai's eloquence, it was enough to infuriate anyone who heard it. Qiu Sheng naturally took over the conversation and said, "This morning, Wen Cai and I were ordered by Master to go to the market to buy groceries. In the end, the town suddenly sounded a gong and said that there was a murder. Wen Cai and I went to take a look and saw that five people had died. There was a talisman drawn on their faces and there were two bloody holes on their necks. It seemed like all the blood in their bodies had been sucked dry. It looked like it was done by a zombie. However, the captain of the investigation team said that he suspects that Master was the culprit. "
"Preposterous!" Lin Fengjiao said angrily after hearing Qiu Sheng's words.
However, it was understandable. After all, anyone would be angry when they were suddenly accused of being a murderer. Moreover, five people had died this time. It was a huge matter that involved five lives.
"Ninth Uncle, I don't think this is the time to be angry. The most important thing now is to go to the town and see what exactly happened. We won't be able to understand everything just by listening to Qiu Sheng and the others. If we find anything, we can tell the captain so that we don't get wronged. " Ye Xuan, who was standing at the side, naturally saw everything. He was familiar with the plot and naturally knew what had happened, so he immediately suggested.
"Yes, Daoist. I'll go get something and go take a look!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Lin Fengjiao realized that it was useless for her to stand there and vent her anger. She should listen to Ye Xuan's words and see what happened first before making a decision.
After saying that, Lin Fengjiao immediately strode into the house and quickly changed her clothes. She picked up the cloth bag and carried it on her back. After that, the four of them quickly rushed toward the town.
As Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had already been to the town, they knew the location. Thus, the four of them did not take any unnecessary detours. Soon, they arrived at an empty space in the town.
The open space was filled with people, and in the middle stood several detective team members. There seemed to be a coroner examining the corpses.
"Excuse me, make way, make way!" Because this concerned her reputation, Lin Fengjiao did not stand on ceremony. She pushed the crowd aside and walked in. Those who were pushed aside saw that it was Lin Fengjiao and knew Dao techniques. Therefore, they did not dare to complain and allowed Lin Fengjiao and the other three to enter together.
"What are you doing? Can't you see that we're investigating a case?" Seeing that the crowd was noisy, the detective team members immediately shouted. However, when they saw that it was Lin Fengjiao, they immediately stopped. One of the detective team members said, "Ninth Uncle, so it's you. Why are you here?"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was a little surprised. He did not expect Lin Fengjiao to be so popular in this town. It seemed that he was also respected by the people. Even the detective team members did not dare to be angry with him.
"I heard that your team leader thinks that I'm a murderer. Can I come and take a look?" The detective team members did not dare to be angry with him, but Lin Fengjiao's expression was not good. She looked at the detective team member with a straight face.
"Ninth Uncle, you know how our team leader is. Please don't make things difficult for me." The detective team member had a troubled expression.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I want to take a look. Don't worry, I won't touch these corpses. Moreover, all of you are here to watch. You don't have to be afraid of me doing anything." Hearing the detective team member's words, Lin Fengjiao was not the kind of person who would force others to do things against their will.
Hearing Lin Fengjiao's words, the detective team members looked at each other. In the end, they nodded and said, "Alright, Ninth Uncle, you can take a look. However, you must not do anything. If you want to see anything, you can tell the coroner."
Seeing that the detective team member had agreed, Lin Fengjiao nodded and walked in. First, she observed the talismans drawn on the faces of the corpses. Then, she looked at the two bloody holes on the necks of the corpses. Gradually, her frown deepened.
"Ninth Uncle, how is it? Did you find anything?" Seeing Lin Fengjiao's expression, the detective team member could not help but ask.
"These people were all killed by sorcery." Lin Fengjiao said with a sullen face.
Wow! — —
Hearing Lin Fengjiao's words, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Although they had already guessed it, when Lin Fengjiao, a publicly recognized master, said it, they could not help but be shocked.
"Then, Ninth Uncle, do you know who the murderer is?" The detective team member asked again.
Lin Fengjiao shook her head and ignored the detective's question. She did not continue to look and turned around to walk out of the crowd.
"Ninth Uncle, did you discover something?" Ye Xuan asked as the four of them walked out of the crowd.
"To be honest, I did find some clues. I discovered that these five people's eight characters were all born in the Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, Yin hour. All of their blood was sucked dry. In addition to the talismans on their heads, I suspect that the person who performed the sorcery this time used a kind of corpse refining sorcery." Lin Fengjiao did not hide anything from Ye Xuan and told him about her discovery.
"So, the person who did this this time might be someone from my Celestial Sect?" Ye Xuan asked.
"Very likely!" Lin Fengjiao nodded. In reality, there was something else that he did not say. The Maoshan Sect's ancient records had records of this sorcery, but it was a forbidden art of Maoshan Sect. Not many people had learned it, so he did not know if it had anything to do with the Maoshan Sect.
"Ma-Master, look, look …" Just as Lin Fengjiao was thinking about how to deal with the situation, Wen Cai suddenly grabbed Lin Fengjiao's sleeve as if he had seen a ghost and pointed at a person not far away.
"The coffin fungus is working. What's there to be surprised about?" Lin Fengjiao looked in the direction Wen Cai was pointing and saw Shi Shaojian slowly walking over with his hands behind his back. Lin Fengjiao could not help but glance at his two disciples.
"That's not right, Master. He's been chewed to pieces by wild dogs!" Qiu Sheng suddenly said.
Hearing Qiu Sheng's words, Lin Fengjiao could not help but be shocked. He looked at the unharmed Shi Shaojian and scolded Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, "Now you're telling me? What were you doing before?"
"I told you it was a disaster!" Qiu Sheng said with a wronged look on his face.
"You, you said that if there's trouble, we'll bear it together!" Wen Cai said.
"Ninth Uncle, now is not the time to pursue this matter. I think we should figure out what happened to him first!" Ye Xuan said when he saw that Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were still trying to shirk responsibility.
"Yes, yes, let's figure it out first!" Wen Cai nodded.
"Master, what should we do?" Qiu Sheng asked with a bitter look on his face.
Lin Fengjiao thought for a moment and took out an iron needle that was as thin as a chopstick. "Go poke his Yang acupoint and see how he reacts!"
