The night was as cold as water, and in the hut that summoned ghosts yesterday, Qi Lu was ready to hold another spiritualist ceremony.
Ding Xiaolan originally wanted to go home to rest, but seeing that everyone was busy, she was embarrassed to leave work early, so she also sat quietly and watched Qi Lu cast spells to attract ghosts.
Slightly different from yesterday's conjuring ceremony, instead of those acacia and willow wood cards on the table, the skull of the female ghost in red was placed, and there was a spell written by Lao Wu with a cinnabar urn on the top of the bone.
Qi Lu arranged six bright lamps in the direction of the six stars of the Southern Dipper in front of the desk, and then lit these lamps and candles with his own hands.
"Let's get started" Seeing that Lao Wu had no objections, Qi Lu returned to the desk and began to pinch the mantra, preparing to summon the true body of the female ghost in red.
When Qi Lu's incantation was finished, the room was silent, and there was no movement for a long time.
"Whew, whew" That was Ding Xiaolan's rapid breathing, she was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the female ghost, and she was a little excited and scared in her heart.
"Don't get excited, the ghost hasn't come yet" Qi Lu was a little unhappy, not because Ding Xiaolan disturbed the spirit conjuring ceremony, but because he suddenly found that he had failed to summon the ghost.
Qi Lu had never missed this kind of spell before, and he didn't know what went wrong.
Lao Wu asked him with a smile: "Alas, I haven't practiced for a long time, and now I'm rusty."
"Impossible, I also successfully recruited a ghost yesterday and asked him for clues about the female ghost in red."
"Come on, don't quibble, let me find out the female ghost in red."
Qi Lu had no choice but to reluctantly move his position and let Lao Wu take over his soul summoning.
But in fact, when Lao Wu finished reciting the same spell, the female ghost in red also did not appear, and both of them were dumbfounded.
The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward, and Qi Lu and Lao Wu didn't know what to say.
Qi Lu suddenly frowned, feeling that something evil was approaching the house.
This is a supernatural existence that ordinary people can't perceive, but for a soul master like Qi Lu, he can clearly smell this breath.
"Is it a female ghost coming" The evil spirit became heavier and heavier, and Lao Wu also felt it.
Above their heads, there was a sudden and continuous "popping" screech.
The three people in the room looked up in unison, only to see that the ceiling of the roof was bent and deformed for no reason, revealing huge cracks, and then an unknown animal jumped out of the black crack, and landed proudly in front of everyone's eyes.
This four-legged monster has a body the size of a human, looks like a horse rather than a cow, and looks different from any animal in the world, Ding Xiaolan is the first time in his life to see such a strange creature.
It has an inscription on its forehead that glows black, and it looks very much like a spell drawn by an onmyoji.
Ding Xiaolan found that its ears were very pointed, its eyes were slender, and there was a ring of protruding sarcomas around its neck, which was very imaginary in the shape of a necklace.
"What is this, it can't be a ghost," Ding Xiaolan cried out.
"You're right, we've got a youkai."
Qi Lu replied a little embarrassed, this is indeed a disappointing thing, not to mention the failure of recruiting ghosts, but instead attracting a monster of unknown origin.
"It's such a nasty smell, it's been a long time since I've seen a demon slayer."
The youkai's voice seemed to rub between its teeth.
Qi Lu said: "Since you know how powerful I am, I don't want to avoid it quickly, and I'm not afraid of losing my life." ” "Whew" the monster let out a long roar, and said with a cruel smile: "What a big breath, believe it or not, I will bite your neck at any time and let you die."
Lao Wu scolded beside him: "It's all dying, and you dare to speak out here."
The youkai was enraged by his words, and he slammed the ground with his four legs, and the house shook suddenly, and dozens of white ghosts flew out from behind the youkai, whistling and pounced on the three of them.
Qi Lu also threw dozens of spirit runes at him while the monster attacked him, and at the same time, Lao Wu picked up the peach wood sword on the desk with his right hand, and swung out the Dao sword light in the direction of the spirit rune attack, and the spirit runes thrown by Qi Lu immediately burned into fireballs under the guidance of the peach wood sword, quickly blocking the ghosts in the air and igniting them all.
This scene is like fireworks in the night sky cruising in the wind, which is very beautiful.
It didn't take long for the fire to go out, and the ghosts to ashes.
All of a sudden, the two sides were evenly matched, and the atmosphere became strangely tense.
"It's too cramped here, let's go out and fight" Lao Wu opened the door.
"Hmph, humans are really treacherous."
The youkai didn't fall for him at all, "Do you think I don't know that the room outside is full of seals and magic circles?"
Seeing that the monster saw through his little tricks, Lao Wu had no choice but to hide his face and snicker.
"I'm not here to fight you."
Lao Wu replied to him angrily: "Then you don't want to get out of here" "Master, I asked me to bring you a message."
The monster grinned wide, revealing its white teeth, making the face look ghostly.
"The master said, if you half-tone mages want to do a lot of things, just wait to go to hell to investigate the case."
"Hehe, it's really better than one can brag."
Qi Lu threw another spirit talisman at him, but unfortunately he pounced, and the monster jumped into the crack above his head and disappeared.

As the monster's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, the room returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"Ran away," Ding Xiaolan asked in surprise.
Qi Lu ignored her, took out an altar with a blushing face, put the female ghost's skull into the altar, and then sprinkled a handful of charcoal-like black powder on the skull.
Finally, he sealed the mouth of the altar with a spirit rune.
Lao Wu smiled and said: "Why, when you encounter a little setback, you will be discouraged."
"No, I just think it's a real loss this time."
Qi Lu was a little unconvinced.
After tidying up everything in the house, the three of them went back to the living room to work.
Qi Lu sighed and said: "Since we can't take shortcuts, our top priority now is to find out the identity of the female ghost in red." ” "It's better to give the photo and skull to Liu Chenfei and let him check it for us."
Lao Wu proposed.
"Don't let him know for the time being, otherwise this detective will blame us for hyping up feudal superstitions."
Qi Lu asked Lao Wu: "What do you think of this case?"
"The female ghost died in the late 70s, when there was only one village here, which was Linjiawan.
However, five years ago, the village was collectively demolished, and all the villagers moved to live in Chaoyang Community, 20 kilometers away. ” "You're right."
Qi Lu agreed with Lao Wu's point of view.
"At the time, even bicycles were a luxury, so the chances of the killer moving the body over long distances were slim.
I speculate that the scene of the murder was probably near the pond, and that the murderer and the deceased were living in Linjiawan at the time. ” Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan also felt that Qi Lu's words were very reasonable, the murderer killed people and hid the corpse, so they could only find a suitable place nearby.
If you choose to bury yourself far away from the scene of the crime, you are afraid that before the person arrives, you will be twisted into the police station by the people passing by.
Seeing Ding Xiaolan yawning, Qi Lu said with a smile: "After work, everyone go home early to rest." ” Before leaving, Qi Lu suddenly remembered something, so he said to Lao Wu: "Put aside Song Wenjian's in advance, you take the photo of the female ghost to Chaoyang Community to investigate her identity, and notify me as soon as there is news." ” After this series of supernatural events, Qi Lu had roughly guessed the identity of the female ghost in red, but he still needed a little evidence to refine the inference in his heart.
The next day, after Qi Lu finished lunch, he was smoking on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, when he saw Lao Wu hurrying back to the company.
"Is there any good news for me?"
Qi Lu put out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"I've investigated the identity of the female ghost in red, do you know who she is?"
"Who else could it be, isn't it Lin Fang."
Qi Lu replied nonchalantly.
"Ah, how do you know?"
"Have you forgotten, Jiang Wenhao said that Lin Jiawan was the only one wearing a green skirt at that time."
"Since you have already guessed the riddle, why do you want me to run away wrongly" Lao Wu felt that he was ridiculed.
"I think Mr.
Qi not only asked you to verify the identity of the female ghost, but I am afraid he also wanted you to find out the time of her death and some other relevant clues."
Ding Xiaolan was afraid that the two of them would quarrel.
"Beauty, you are too smart, you deserve to have big breasts and brains" Before Qi Lu's words were finished, he was smashed in the face by the folder thrown by Ding Xiaolan.
Seeing that Ding Xiaolan was angry for himself, Lao Wu's anger disappeared, and after drinking saliva, he said: "Lin Fang's death time is the summer of 1978, but it's very strange, because no one knows how she died." ” Qi Lu said disapprerovingly: "Of course no one knows, if anyone knows, the real murderer will fall into the legal net back then." ” "That's not what I said, Lin Fang disappeared suddenly, and no one knows her whereabouts."
"The murderer killed and hid the body, Lin Fang's relatives couldn't find her body, so they naturally thought she was missing."
Ding Xiaolan still didn't know why, but Qi Lu sensed a hint of trickery, and couldn't help but sit up straight, waiting for Lao Wu's next words.
Lao Wu continued: "The strange thing is that Lin Fang left a suicide note on the day of his death, and then the person disappeared."
"Could it be that she had a premonition that someone was going to kill her, so she wrote a suicide note" Ding Xiaolan still didn't understand.
"No, the suicide note means that she is trapped by love and has nothing to love, so that her parents can forget her unfilial daughter."
"So Lin Fang wanted to commit suicide, but why did the murderer kill her again, isn't this an extra move," Ding Xiaolan pouted in confusion.
Qi Lu put forward his own point of view: "Maybe the murderer is not familiar with Lin Fang, and when he met her, he didn't know that she wanted to commit suicide, but he temporarily had murderous intentions." ” "Yes, I agree with you."
Lao Wu nodded.
If it is a murder case that has been planned for a long time, the murderer will definitely observe the victim's movements in advance, and naturally perceive Lin Fang's intention to commit suicide, so why should he be stupid enough to do it himself.
"There's another clue you'll never think of," Old Wu was halfway through his words, and he was ready to drink again.
"What is it, you say it quickly" Ding Xiaolan was anxious.
"Lin Fang's lover is Jiang Wenhao, no, to be precise, Professor Jiang is the boy Lin Fang likes."

"Ah" Not only Ding Xiaolan was surprised, but even Qi Lu couldn't sit still when he heard the news, he walked up to Lao Wu and asked: "Is the news reliable, how do you know" ytforiitfreeti0 t1706231537:
