The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 172 Join forces to investigate the case

After Wen Jiu left, Lu Xu had some clarity in his heart. It seemed that Ye Ziheng and he were indeed not the same person.

But she was right about one thing. Perhaps the clues to the Dragon Vein Guardian should start with this jade pendant.

The next day, Wen Jiu got up early and stopped Ye Heng back to his room before he went out.

Seeing that she was looking at death, Ye Ziheng resignedly sat back at the table and poured two cups of tea: "Sit down and talk."

Wen Jiu was surprised: "How did you know I had something to say?"

Ye Ziheng lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that your abacus beads fell off my face."

Wen Jiu: "Brother, why don't we first find out the cause of death of the female ghost downstairs."

"it is good."

Ye Ziheng did not hesitate.

Wen Jiu was surprised again: "So simple? Yesterday, he acted like it had nothing to do with him."

I saw Ye Ziheng taking out the ghost hunting order: "It's on."

"But the female ghost didn't." Wen Jiu suddenly realized that someone else might have died here: "It's not her, someone else is dead."

Ye Ziheng stroked away the weeds that had stuck to her body from nowhere, and continued: "I went to see it yesterday. The death method of the female ghost downstairs was exactly the same, but I just saw her, and the ghost disappeared."

Fortunately she didn't eat much for breakfast, otherwise she would have been so surprised that she would have eaten too much.

"What the hell can you slip away from under the nose of senior brother? And senior brother, when did you go out again yesterday?"

"You don't have to go out through the door, don't you?"

Wen Jiugang wanted to retort, but he remembered that he had tried to follow him a few days ago and even fell from the window.

It turned out that he had known it for a long time.

She pursed her lips: "Senior brother, is that evil ghost the same as the one downstairs? Is it covered with traces of Gu insects? Is it also a Heart-Eating Gu?"

Ye Zi Heng nodded slightly: "I searched for traces of corpses in that area, but found nothing unusual. Has Xiao Shi told you where he met this girl?"

Wen Jiu thought about that day and narrowed his eyes slightly: "As I said, we met on the street, but there is no way that place is a place where corpses are hidden or where people are killed."

The only possibility is that someone breathed their last while passing by.

"Xiaojiu, where do you think this person is being transported?"

"This corpse must always be transported to the wilderness. The wilderness is surrounded by mountains. It's hard to tell." A thought flashed across Wen Jiu's mind: "Brother, where is the area you are talking about?"

"Maybe it's the same thing as Xiao Shi."

The four of them stood in the middle of the market with serious expressions, their brows furrowed.

"I checked on the roof yesterday. This is almost in the middle of the city. If a dead person wants to be transported to the wilderness, it is impossible to pass through here anyway, unless they want to be transported to a designated place instead of simply transporting them to a designated place. Simply dump the body, or the hiding place is not outside the city at all."

Ye Ziheng spoke first and expressed his judgment yesterday.

Wen Jiu always felt that something was wrong. How could there be no breakthrough in this matter?

She looked around and saw nothing unusual.

"Maybe we should change the direction. Who can be killed with the Heart-Eating Gu?" Although Lu Xu didn't know what the Heart-Eating Gu was and had never seen the death state of the deceased, he had a clear idea for solving the case: "We need to use specialized The people that can only be killed by Gu insects are probably not ordinary people."

As soon as he said this, a gleam of light flashed in Zhou Lingran's eyes, and he thought about it.

"The person killed by the heart-eating Gu must be invulnerable to a hundred poisons." "If he is invulnerable to a hundred poisons, can't he be hacked to death with a knife or stabbed to death with a sword? Doesn't that mean his martial arts are extremely powerful? At least these people can’t do anything to her.”

Ye Ziheng looked at Lu Xu thoughtfully, with a bit of admiration in his eyes. He originally thought he was a rich idiot who stood in a high place because of his birth, but it turned out that he was actually quite capable.

In fact, he discovered very early that when he was attacked that day, Lu Xu's martial arts was superior to him and superior to most people.

Maybe the rumors can be faked, the reputation can be faked, but the scars on his hands cannot be faked, nor can the thick calluses on the tiger's mouth be faked.

Seeing that the other three people were looking at him, Lu Xu continued: "As you have seen, the two who appear now are female ghosts, so the ones the Heart-Eating Gu wants to kill are probably women."

Perhaps, even the Dragon Vein Guardian is not a man as they thought.

Wen Jiu said almost subconsciously, "It shouldn't be difficult to inquire about such a person."

"On the contrary, it's almost impossible to find out." Lu Xu said in a deep voice. He had already asked Lou Wu and the others to make some innuendo outside. Almost no one knew that there were still people who were immune to all kinds of poisons.

After all, he is still a smart man. If he publicizes it, he is seeking death.

If she is not dead yet, she is not only smart, but also good at disguise.

Someone wanted to kill her, but they kept killing the wrong person.

Zhou Lingran raised his eyebrows and tried to calm down the atmosphere: "There is no airtight wall in the world. Since someone wants to kill her, doesn't it mean that someone knows about it? Ordinary people don't know, but those who can eat the heart-eating Gu don't Don’t you know, it’s just that it’s a little troublesome now, why don’t we split up and keep an eye on a few of them.”

Now that there are still two days left before the sacrificial ceremony, it might as well be a solution.

Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran stood not far from the back door of the Wu Mansion, pretending to be kitchen servants who took the food, and after paying the money, they changed into vendors delivering food.

The nurse at the door stopped them and looked them up and down: "Why did they change people today?"

Wen Jiu raised his head and said sillyly: "The store is busy today, so we asked you to deliver it. Now that we recognize you, we will definitely give you the freshest vegetables next time you come to the store."

The nurse didn't take it seriously and just asked casually.

Seeing that these two people looked ordinary, he let them in.

As for the unremarkable appearance, it was just because the two of them wore makeup and had the temperament of ordinary people in southern Xinjiang.

The two of them pushed the trolley into the back door unhurriedly and handed the dishes to the cook waiting at the door of the kitchen.

"Hey, today's dishes are fresh. Did you bring the Ganoderma lucidum that you sent me?"

"Oh, take it, take it."

Fortunately, I just stared at the Ganoderma lucidum for a few more times. The vendor who delivered the food thought there was something wrong with the Ganoderma lucidum, so he quickly explained: "I went to Lingshan yesterday to step on this Ganoderma lucidum. The government warned me the day before yesterday, so my little old man hurried up the mountain. found."

"That's good." Zhou Lingran pretended to be calm and rounded off his words.

Now I really encountered cross-examination.

Wen Jiu imitated the lady's tone of voice: "This was just picked from the mountain yesterday. It's very fresh!"

Only then did the cook laugh: "It's not bad. I'll give you more in the next few days, just in time to replenish my husband's energy."

Oh, such a big Ganoderma needs to be delivered for a few more days. Why do you need to replenish your energy like this?

The two looked at each other and smiled, maybe they were in the right place.
