Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 17 Disappearance

"There is nothing special about the identities of the two deceased, they are the people of Chang'an Wannian County.

According to the investigation, their family members left Chang'an not long after the two disappeared. Although the two were powerful, they did everything they could to bully them both at home and abroad. "Wang Xuanzhi talked about the information he had collected during these days.

On his own, he could only go around in circles in Chang'an, and Daoyi's eyes were blurred for a moment when he heard it.

Fortunately, there are only two counties in Chang'an, with Suzaku Gate as the boundary to divide the east and west, and they live next to each other, which is easy to remember.

It's just that there are too many squares in the county and the roads are too complicated. Daoyi expressed his disgust.

Now that a murderer is running between the two places to kill, she has a little bit of envy for the other party's ability to come and go freely.

She said what she thought, "Siqing, you said that the murderer ran back and forth between two counties, isn't he afraid of being discovered?"

Wang Xuanzhi's expression froze, he broke off a branch, and gestured on the ground, "The two counties live in separate workshops with Suzaku Gate as the boundary. Wannian County is full of dignitaries, and Chang'an County is full of businessmen. The point lies in Pingkang Square."

"According to Si Qing, the murderer is in Pingkang Fang?"

"Otherwise, I think the perpetrator should have been picked near Pingkangfang."

"Eating, drinking and having fun in Pingkangfang is Chang'an's place of pleasure. Why did the murderer choose the location here?"

Daoyi also gestured, "Si Qing said just now that there is nothing special about the two deceased, but have you noticed that the life experiences of the two are extremely similar, especially that their relatives moved out of Chang'an with their family."

An inch of land and an inch of gold in Chang'an, even in a remote place, it is at the feet of the emperor, if there is no accident, no one is willing to leave.

Hearing this, Wang Xuanzhi's expression froze, "Follow me."

"Did Si Qing remember anything?" Dao Yi followed into the important area of ​​Dali Temple.

Cases reported by various places are stored in the File Pavilion, and the files are reviewed by Dali Temple. Those that should be issued are issued, and those with serious punishments are transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.

Some are heartbreaking, some are frenzied, in short, there are all kinds of strange things.

While waiting, Daoyi obtained consent, and he could look at the case records on the bookshelf next to him, which were not categorized as major or important cases.

Daoyi found one of the scrolls, which was a little worn out compared to the others, and unfolded it, which was recorded by an official of the previous dynasty. She found something that caught her attention, that this scroll actually recorded the existence of monsters.

This was the first time she came into contact with records about monsters after going down the mountain. She couldn't wait to understand the case clearly, so she quickly turned to the end, but only found a monster that injured countless people, and she searched for it to no avail.

"Do Taoists usually only like these?" Wang Xuanzhi approached him at some point, and asked casually.

Dao Yi almost smashed the case in his hands, and rolled his eyes angrily, "As a Taoist, I don't even look at these things. What kind of Tao am I still learning, like those young people outside?"

"cough……"

Putting the dossier back to its original place, Dao recalled the purpose of this, "Have you found what Siqing was looking for earlier?"

"Well, come and see."

Several files were spread out on the table. Dao Yi walked on the other side of the table, and Wang Xuanzhi pointed at the opened place, "These cases are all cases that have been reported over the years."

"Why are they all missing persons cases?" Dao Yi felt strange, they were investigating murder cases right now.

"This is the missing persons case file of Dali Temple."

"What I retrieved were all unresolved unresolved cases. According to the records above, the officials at that time did not find the person who was kidnapped, and the missing person was never found." Wang Xuanzhi has a photographic memory. In his spare time, Will go to check the case file.

Thinking back suddenly now, I broke out in a cold sweat.

So many people disappeared in the previous dynasty, but no one was found.

Wang Xuanzhi placed a piece of clean white paper in the empty space of the table, and Daoyi took the initiative to undertake the work of researching ink. If the father, mother, Xiaotong and others were here, they would definitely stare their eyes out. Those who do it are willing to use ink developed by others.

Dao Yi didn’t have time to look at the flamboyant characters, she was attracted by what was written on it, “Siqing circled a range of places where these missing persons were, and their missing time.

Huh?Although the two people who died were not recorded, according to the investigation, they also disappeared for a period of time, and their situation is similar to these people.And these are the case files of the previous court. Those who reported the case never came again. "

"Yeah, that's the problem.

Perhaps because of the war, they have no time to take care of their missing relatives, because they themselves need to live.Or some missing persons just enlisted in the army, and then changed their surnames to go home, but they did not report, but used their current names. "

Afraid Dao didn't understand, he explained specifically: "Many people are unwilling to be involved with the past after they become famous. These are matters of the previous dynasty, and it takes time to check." As far as he knows, there are several people.

There is another possibility, taking advantage of the chaos of war: Tibetans perish.But these are just speculations for now.

The conversation turned around, and he said: "I'm afraid that the two disappearance cases are related to the current murder case, because the way they disappeared is exactly the same." What's more, the disappearance case of the previous dynasty made him feel uneasy. But I can't say why for the time being.

"The two disappearances from the previous dynasty may be related to the current one, or they may not be. After this matter is resolved, we will investigate and find out." Both of them knew that it was the same disappearance case based on this intuition, and made a statement. A case investigation is not enough.

"Why does the minister infer this way?"

"That's what you told me."

"Me?" Dao pointed to his nose, not knowing when he said such words.

"You told me that these two people were raised by humans. After some time, they will not be able to raise their white and tender flesh. However, the traces of their past life are still there. This is the problem."

"These two people have been missing for more than a year. It's really unreasonable for the family members not to come and report the crime, and even move the whole family away.

Another possibility is that they bullied people too much, and their family members were unwilling to find them. It would be a good thing for them to disappear, but it would be even worse if they didn’t want to be found afterwards. If these two people hadn’t died, no one would know In fact, they have long since disappeared. "

"Perhaps those people are being raised somewhere like these two people now, so we need to find out the murderer as soon as possible." The two also understand that maybe this is just a beautiful imagination, who would raise so many people for no reason.

Dao Yi still felt that it would be safer for the two of them to come out first, so he said: "These two families are definitely not the murderers. It is extremely unfavorable for them to disappear suddenly like this. what."

"I will arrange for people to search for these two families, and the murderer must be found out, otherwise we will not know who will be killed. The streets of Chang'an have been cleaned up a lot recently. There will be hundreds of missing people in ten years. It has never been reported.

If everyone was killed, why were only these two dead found?Is there someone manipulating this?What is the intention? "Wang Xuanzhi felt his throat was tightly pinched by a big hand, his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"When I was in the suburbs today, I also found something. Near the two dead people, I found footprints similar to horseshoe prints. They are larger than ordinary horseshoes, so I am not sure."

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. What if Si Qing sees other monsters in the future." Dao Yi waved his hand nonchalantly.

This little Taoist priest, seeing him once is not enough, I want him to be evil all day long, right?But he thinks that the most evil thing is that he brought a group of people back to Dali Temple to take up the post of Wu Zuo.

Wang Xuanzhi became a little angry, but he couldn't deny that his nervousness had improved a lot.

"I know what Siqing means. Based on the previous news, the murderer has at least one horse that is bigger than ordinary horses, which is used as a tool for him to carry the corpse, and the Suzaku Gate is the boundary. People from Nian County and Chang'an County, the intersection of the two places is in Pingkangfang.

So the murderer is a regular visitor to Pingkangfang? "

"You have forgotten one more thing. The deceased's legs were broken and he disappeared. What is the effect?"

"Don't, don't..." In a dark basement, there are roars of beasts, and the smell of the wooden boards under his body is all stimulating the man. Fear envelops his whole body like water, and he looks like a black shadow walking against the only light. Come on, the blood on the originally fair face instantly receded, becoming even paler, and the bound limbs were struggling desperately.

"what!"

A pair of legs that were still flowing with blood was lifted high by the black shadow. Following the roar of the beast, when the black shadow turned around, it revealed a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes. fanaticism.

　Good afternoon.
