Chapter 941, Talking with Ghosts
Chapter 941, Talking to Ghosts
Before the chill of the morgue had dissipated, Lilith's brows knitted together and she said in a flat tone, "Tell me in detail."
Wu Heng followed and said, "According to the interrogation, this priestess died three days before the banquet, and she did not return to the Vatican's dormitory. She did not mention such an important matter, and only briefly mentioned that she had investigated the illegal immigrants."
Lilith slowed down her pace, "Anything else?"
Wu Heng continued, "There is one more thing. When I investigated the tavern, the other party deliberately left behind leather boots and belts, trying to mislead me to track them northward. There are not many people in Netale who know the effect of my rare item. You can count them on one hand. The only one the other party can contact is Nasir."
Before he became a hero, he and Nasir were comrades-in-arms during the investigation of Netale City.
Although I don't want to believe it in my heart, these two points are indeed doubtful.
I originally thought that the ghost who possessed me had been hanging around in the Church and the Association, and only heard about it before that I was in possession of this rare item.
But three days before the banquet, the priestess had disappeared. Nasir had no suspicion and took her to the banquet directly.
It's easy to be suspicious.
Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you suspect Nasir and the ghost are in collusion?"
He casually put on a dark blue hood and said, "The priests of the Holy See are a little paranoid about their faith. Cooperating with the ghosts who killed the priests? This is unreasonable."
"I am also troubled by this." Wu Heng touched his chin.
In the distance is the end of the corridor, where you can see mercenaries moving around and hear noisy sounds.
Lilith stopped, adjusted her hood, and said softly, "Since you've returned to Treasure Island, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will ask the inspector who lives nearby about this matter. You will stay in Treasure Island during this period of time and are not allowed to run around anymore."
When he spoke the last part, his tone was somewhat harsh.
Wu Heng smiled and said, "I won't go out. I was really scared this time."
Lilith glared at him and turned away.
The butler behind him bowed slightly to Wu Heng and followed him out.
He opened an umbrella for Lilith at the door and walked straight out of the association.
Wu Heng continued to walk back, just in time Deacons Xilagui and Shi Yali, two sisters, came up from downstairs with their investigators.
"Leader Lilith has left?" Xilagui glanced into the distance.
"I'll go back first." Wu Heng glanced at the investigator and said, "Please work harder and prepare the report tonight."
"Yes, Chief!" The investigator saluted again and walked towards his office.
Wu Heng followed the two elf sisters to the office study, closed the door, hugged the two sisters on both sides, and kissed each of them on the face.
After a brief moment of intimacy, Shi Yali walked over to make tea for him, while Xi Lagui asked, "Didn't you say you were going to build a church? How did you get framed?"
I could also understand a little bit of what was said about the corpse just now.
I'm still quite curious as to how someone could frame a hero.
Shi Yali brought the brewed tea over and sat down opposite.
Wu Heng recounted what happened in Neitale City, but still did not mention the matter of the ghost to the two girls.
After hearing this, the two sisters looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The other party was so meticulous that he almost made Wu Heng the murderer.
After the banquet, he tried to rape the priestess. If this matter gets out, the Vatican will not let it go, and it will also be a good signal to the outside world.
His profession is already controversial, and it will be even more difficult to spread his faith.
Shi Yali said: "Chief Lilith said that you cause trouble wherever you go, and it's true."
Wu Heng gave her a displeased look and said, "I have many enemies, there is nothing I can do."
Xi Lagui continued, "Once the report is compiled and sent to the headquarters tomorrow, it should be able to prove your innocence."
"I'm not worried about our headquarters at all. It all depends on the Vatican." Wu Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It should be okay." Xilagui comforted.
The three of them sat together and chatted for a while.
Wu Heng glanced at the time, stood up and said, "I'm going back first. I still have some things to deal with over there."
Shi Yali asked: "Will you come to dinner tonight?"
"During these two days, I will accompany you then."
"That's fine." Shi Yali nodded.
After saying goodbye to the two women, Wu Heng stood up and left the study, entering the steward's residence through the back door.
Use [Teleport] to return to the Island Master's Mansion.
……
A figure emerged from the courtyard of the island owner's mansion.
The family's four maids, plus Philippa, came out of the building to greet them, "Master, is everything going well?"
Wu Heng said: "It's okay, the results of the interrogation of the corpse are fine."
This time the interrogation of the corpse went quite smoothly.
If the corpse cannot give an answer to prove Wu Heng's innocence, it will only cause more trouble later.
Philippa hugged his arm and said, "Next time you go somewhere, take me with you. If I were with you, I would have been caught long ago."
"As for you, it would be good enough if you don't cause trouble when you go." Catwoman Robe complained.
"I was a captain. I'm good at finding out who's doing the wrong thing." Philippa puffed out her chest.
"The master is also a great detective." Robert said unyieldingly.
Andvier separated the two noisy people and said, "Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to wait for Sister Shannella to come back?"
"Where is Shannara doing?" Wu Heng led a few people into the building.
"I went to the five elders of the wood elves." Minnie replied.
"Send her a text message and come back early for dinner."
"it is good!"
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!
As he spoke, Xiao Xiao appeared beside him and greeted the maids, "Hello, sisters."
The noisy people also smiled.
Xiao Xiao continued, "Uncle, give me the doll. I'm going to play with Sister Lilith."
Wu Heng took out the doll and Xiao Xiao completed the possession.
"I'm going to play!" Xiaoxiao said, and was about to run out.
Wu Heng warned, "Xiao Xiao, don't forget what I told you before. Don't let it slip."
Xiao Xiao immediately responded, "Don't worry, uncle."
After saying that, he ran out with a stomping sound.
They continued chatting in the living room for a while, then Shannara came back from outside and they had dinner together.
……
On the other side, Lilith's mansion.
In the study, the butler brought tea and cakes, then stood upright and said with a smile, "Chief Wu Heng's efficiency is as neat and tidy as always."
"When you are full of energy, you will get into trouble." Lilith said angrily, and then said, "Go downstairs first. I will call you if there is anything."
"Yes, miss." The butler walked out.
After the door was closed, Lilith took out the stiff crow from the brocade box.
Drops of blood dripped, and the crow's eyes lit up.
When the sixth eye lit up, the crow seemed to come alive, jumped onto the table, and looked at her with its head tilted.
Lilith glanced at her finger, the wound healed instantly, and then said: "Wu Heng has caught the murderer. The body and the interrogation records will be sent to the headquarters tomorrow. The deceased priestess had already died in the previous mission. She attended the banquet to frame Wu Heng and let the Church get rid of Wu Heng."
After quickly retelling what happened, he waved at the crow.
The crow turned around, flapped its wings, and flew into the void.
Lilith picked up the pastry with her slender fingers and ate it bite by bite, then waited for a while.
Ripples appeared in the air, and the crow reappeared, standing on the table and speaking in human language, "The Holy See has also received news from the local church. The situation is gradually becoming serious. Send the autopsy report as soon as possible. Do not let Wu Heng leave Treasure Island for the time being."
After saying that, Crow froze and fell on the table.
Lilith put the crow away and sighed softly.
I can't keep an eye on him.
Dong Dong~!
There was a slight knock on the door, and the housekeeper's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, Miss 'Xiaoxiao' is waiting for you in the living room." Lilith raised the corners of her lips slightly, her body gradually shrank, she opened the door and went downstairs.
Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Sister! Let's go to the entertainment city and play the dance machine!"
"Okay." A smile appeared on Lilith's cold face, and she said to the butler, "Go prepare the carriage."
"Yes." The butler left.
Xiaoxiao stood up, took her hand and walked out.
Lilith asked, "What level was the ghost that was killed at? It was so hidden from your uncle."
Xiao Xiao said: "Uncle doesn't let me say anything nonsense, sister, you ask uncle!"
Lilith rolled her eyes at her and said, "I love you in vain."
"I spent money playing games at that time. I asked my uncle for a lot of money."
"Okay." Lilith nodded.
The two got on the carriage and headed towards the entertainment city.
……
Island owner's mansion.
After dinner, Wu Heng returned to his study.
Glenda floated not far away and said, "Lilith used a kind of crow to contact the headquarters. I feel it should be a strange object that requires a drop of blood to use. She has already told the headquarters that you caught the murderer."
Wu Heng had already guessed that Lilith had a prop connection with the headquarters.
After all, Lilith had gotten some information from the headquarters in a quick way several times before.
This time, it was seen by Glenda, who confirmed that it was a rare crow-like creature.
But all strange things have a price, and they are definitely not as useful as your own mobile phone.
"What is the attitude of our headquarters?" Wu Heng asked.
"Our headquarters said that the Holy See also got the news and is very angry about this matter. They asked her to keep an eye on you and not let you run around." Granda said with a smile.
Beni, who was standing by, also smiled, "This department also knows where you go and where you cause trouble."
"That's it. I have one more stereotype." Wu Heng sat down on the sofa and continued to ask, "Where is Lilith now?"
"I went to the casino with Xiaoxiao." said Granda.
Penny then asked, "That ghost, what are your plans?"
Wu Heng sat in his seat and thought for a while, "I plan to have a good chat with her and learn some things about the past."
"She should know something," said Benny.
Glenda said, "Ask, give us the puppet, and go downstairs to look around."
Wu Heng took out the doll, and the two ghosts completed the possession. After confirming that he did not need help, they walked downstairs together.
……
Pour yourself a cup of tea.
Then he took out the Demon Soul Pot and released the [Dead Soul Cage] to surround the Demon Soul Pot in the middle.
The lid of the pot was opened, and the ghost of a woman swirled out like smoke.
The ghost looked around and glared at him fiercely, "Are you going to hand me over to the association?"
Wu Heng sat opposite him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The matter has been resolved, there is no need to hand you over to the association."
The ghost's eyes narrowed, "Trying to deceive me?"
"The examination of the corpse has proved my innocence, so there is no need to hand you over." Wu Heng said calmly.
"Hypocrisy!" The ghost's body wavered, "You let me out to humiliate me?"
"On the contrary." Wu Heng put down the water cup. "I killed the general you mentioned, and you framed me once. How about we be even now?"
The ghost showed a surprised expression and stared at him carefully, as if trying to figure out whether he was playing a trick on him.
After a long while, he said, "You have to let me go."
"That's not it."
The ghost immediately said angrily, "You are playing tricks on me!"
Wu Heng said: "This is Treasure Island. What if I let you out and you kill someone again? And how long can your soul body last?"
The ghost said angrily, "What do you want to say?"
Wu Heng leaned on his knees and looked at Youhun, saying, "Just chatting, how did you and that man know each other?"
"Are you curious about me?" The ghost suddenly calmed down and coiled half a circle in the bone prison.
"I am indeed a little curious." Wu Heng looked at her, "If you think it's a secret, you don't have to tell me."
After Wu Heng said this, the ghost was not so resistant and said, "It's okay to tell you. They were a group of tomb robbers, and he was the only one left in the end."
Tomb robber?
Wu Heng instantly thought of the group of tomb robbers who robbed the ghost ship.
At that time, the body of a dwarf was found on the ghost ship. After questioning, the corpse mentioned that the tomb robbers found a clue about the princess in the tomb.
The next step is to rob the princess’ tomb.
In other words, the empress in front of us was dug out from that tomb.
But this time they were not as lucky as the ghost ship. The princess directly became a ghost, and her level was not low.
Killed the rest, leaving only one.
"What's with that expression on your face?" the ghost asked back.
Wu Heng explained, "A ghost ship appeared in front of the Emerald Sea. It was a sea burial cemetery. A group of tomb robbers robbed the tomb, then got the location of the princess's tomb and continued to rob the tomb."
The ghost's expression froze. "You mean, they found my clues in another tomb? Whose tomb?"
"I don't know whose tomb it is, but there is a stone tablet with a record saying that you seduced the king, so the minister chopped off your head, and he escorted your body back to your hometown." Wu Heng recalled.
"Shut up!" The ghost suddenly screamed and went straight back into the Magic Soul Pot.
Wu Heng scratched his face and said to the Demon Soul Pot, "Still want to chat? If not, I'm going to sleep."
The Demon Soul Pot did not respond. It closed the lid and put it into the space ring.
……
bedroom.
After taking a shower, Wu Heng lay on the bed.
After two knocks on the door, it opened and her four maids, plus Philippa, walked in in their pajamas.
Stand in a horizontal row.
Philippa said, "Shannella, we will give you to us today."
Minnie also smiled and said, "Master, it's been a long time since I punished the little fox."
Andvier rolled her eyes at her and said, "Let me teach you a lesson first, you disobedient rabbit."
Wu Heng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come on."
"Master~!"
The maids called out delicately, climbed onto the bed from the foot and sides, and fell into her arms.
……
The next day, in the morning.
After breakfast, Minnie came in from outside.
Holding a letter in hand.
"Master, it was sent by the association."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, took the letter and touched it, it seemed like there was something inside.
He tore open the envelope and poured it into his palm, and a letter and a space ring fell out.
Space ring?
He unfolded the letter and took a look at it, raising his brows.
A reply from the assistant to the leader of Hongwen Society.
And in the space ring is the information that he needs.
Build a database of information!
