Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 1083 Idle People of the Song Dynasty 2
"Why all the noise?"

Liu Shu asked doubtfully while holding the bowl.

Li San said: "I'll go take a look."

After saying that, the young man ran out of Liu's house.

After a while, Li San ran back with a look of horror on his face.

Liu Shu asked Er Niang, Li San's mother, to make a cup of hot tea for Li San to calm him down.

Er Niang asked worriedly, "What happened? What did you see?"

Li Sanlian drank several sips of hot water before calming down a little. He said, "Mr. Zhang and his wife next door are both dead. It's so scary. Their skins were peeled off. It was bloody and scary."

After saying this, he shuddered.

Er Niang also felt scared when she heard this.

Liu Shu didn't respond.

In Bao Qingtian's world, it is normal to have cases and deaths.

Just like it is normal to have eight eggs and potassium cyanide in the world of Detective Conan.

Liu Shu quickened his eating pace, thinking of going out to see what was going on.

But before he could leave, the constable came to his door.

After all, it was his neighbor who was in trouble.

The constable's attitude was not bad, after all, Liu Shu had the title of scholar.

Moreover, the detective did not think that the elderly, weak, and sick people in the Liu family were capable of killing someone.

The constable was conducting routine questioning and asked Liu Shu and a few others about the strange noises they heard last night.

Everyone said that they were sleeping soundly and did not hear any sound.

Liu Shu shook his head, indicating that he didn't hear it either.

He certainly didn't hear it.

Liu Shu was not at home at the time, but went to the mountains.

He had previously discovered a treasure buried underground in the mountains, so he went to the mountains late at night and dug out the treasure.

Now the boxes containing treasures are still in his soul space.

The detectives were not angry when they did not get any useful information. They did not expect to get any useful information. They just told Liu Shu to be careful.

Who knows whether the murderer who killed Mr. Zhang and his wife will continue to commit crimes.

If he continued to commit crimes, Liu Shu, who lived next door to Zhang Xiucai and was also a scholar, would be a good target.

Liu Shu thanked the constable.

Er Niang was very tactful and stuffed a handful of money into the constables' pockets and invited them to have tea.

The detectives thought that this family was very reasonable and had a better impression of the scholar Liu Shu, so they decided to make more frequent visits here during future patrols.

The noise from next door gradually died down, and the people from the yamen left.

The Zhang family members handled the funeral arrangements for Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang with tears in their eyes.

Zhang Xiucai's parents are still alive, and he has a younger brother and two younger sisters.

Zhang's parents were so shocked that they collapsed.

Fortunately, Brother Zhang was capable of taking the responsibility. While he asked a doctor to treat his parents, he also arranged for someone to buy coffins to bury the bodies of Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang.

The two girls from the Zhang family brought people to set up the mourning hall.

By the afternoon, the mourning hall was completely set up.

As a neighbor and someone who had some friendship with Mr. Zhang, Liu Shu naturally had to go and pay tribute to Mr. Zhang.

Liu Shu lit incense and walked to the coffin.

Because the body was too scary, the coffin was secured tightly after the burial so that other people could not see the deceased.

Liu Shu stood in front of the coffin and felt it for a while. He only felt the remaining resentment, but no evil or ghostly aura.

It doesn't look like it's caused by evil spirits.

In that case, it is the government's job.

Liu Shu turned around and said a few words to the younger brother of the Zhang family. The younger brother of the Zhang family was also a scholar, but he had not yet participated in the imperial examination.

He had originally planned to take part in the county examination this year, but then the incident with Mr. Zhang happened.

The plan is to step back.

Liu Shu comforted Zhang Xiaodi: "My condolences. If you can't take part in the county exam this year, you can still take part in next year. I will guarantee you then."

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Brother Zhang's eyes were red, but he behaved well and did not lose his composure.

This made the other people who came to pay their respects give Zhang a high evaluation.

The Zhang family was not a wealthy family, so they did not hold a funeral for 49 days like some other big families.

Without ice, the body would become smelly if left for so long.

After seven days of rest, the body was buried.

Peace returned next door.

But the county town was no longer peaceful.

On the seventh day after Zhang Xiucai's death, which was the night after Zhang Xiucai and his wife were buried, someone else died.

This time, the victims were the second son and daughter-in-law of the grain and oil store owner.

Like Mr. Zhang and his wife, he was found dead in his bed.

The skins of the two people were also peeled off, which was very scary.

It is said that the maid who went to wake people up early in the morning was frightened to death.

The government officials came to investigate, but still had no clues.

Two people died in the middle of the night, but no one in the boss's family heard anything.

There were rumors in the county that ghosts were killing people. The rumor was that the killer was a female ghost who couldn't bear to see the loving couple.

This made many young people who had not yet married feel relieved, but it made many young couples worried.

The government had no clues. On the same day that the boss's second son and his wife were buried, another young couple was murdered.

The stories of time travel became more and more intense, and even the appearance of the female ghost and the reasons why she harmed people were told in detail.

Liu Shu couldn't sit still anymore. He thought that this was the job of the government office and he shouldn't compete for the credit with the runners and constables.

But now there are so many victims. If the murderer is not caught, there will be more victims. Although Liu Shu is not a saint, it is impossible for him to watch innocent people suffer and remain indifferent.

He decided to investigate the murderer.

Liu Shu first went to Zhang's house and asked Zhang's younger brother about the whereabouts of Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang before they were murdered.

Younger Zhang recalled the whereabouts of his brother and sister-in-law.

"My eldest brother will be taking part in the provincial examination next year, so he will be studying at home most of the time. My sister-in-law doesn't go out very often either. Before that, the two of them went to the Nian Ci Temple to burn incense together. My sister-in-law asked for a blessed amulet for my eldest brother."

Zhang Xiaodi: "Brother Liu, why are you asking these questions? You don't want to investigate the cause of death of my elder brother and sister-in-law, do you? This is the work of the government, you'd better not interfere."

Liu Shu smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually."

After leaving Zhang's house, Liu Shu went to the vicinity of the grain and oil store owner's home.

Because he was not familiar with the family, Liu Shu was unable to enter their home.

He waited outside the mansion and saw the servants coming out. He spent some money to learn from them the whereabouts of his second son and his wife before their death.

Coincidentally, these two people had also been to Nian Ci Temple.

Liu Shu went to the third house.

The family was holding a funeral, and Liu Shu disguised himself as a mourner and sneaked in to burn incense for the deceased.

Liu Shu took the opportunity to ask the child a question.

From the child, Yanagi learned that the victim of this family had never been to Nianji'an.

But the old lady of this family is a Buddhist, and she invites the nun from Nian Ci Temple to come to her house every month to preach to her.

Nian Ji An?

The victims of the three cases were more or less connected to him. In the absence of other more specific clues, Yanagi Hiiragi identified Ninji'an as the main target of investigation.

only--

Nianci Temple is a nunnery. How can a grown man like him get in?
