Demon detective

Chapter 58
In the middle of the night that day, Xu Zhen analyzed the case of the fake Wei Yulang in his study, trying to figure out the psychology of the criminal.

In the next room, the little daughter-in-law Youmeng and Huniu Shenyu have already fallen asleep.

In the past few days, Shen Yu has been guarding Xu Zhen's house every night, which can be said to be conscientious.

Even though the Daxuan Dynasty was relatively open, it would be very damaging to the reputation of an unmarried girl to stay at the house of a male colleague every day and night.

Even though Xu Zhen has a daughter-in-law in name, it is always not good to hear about it.

In the past few days, Xu Zhen has also heard gossip from people in the yamen, saying that Shen Yu has something to do with him, that he has already slept in the same bed and so on.

But the more this is the case, the more it can show Shen Yu's sincerity, which is really commendable.

Besides, Xu Zhen was also worried that even if Song Zhili stopped attacking him, it was hard to guarantee that those scattered people from Dongyou would not bear a grudge against him.

With Shen Yu here, I am indeed much more at ease.

As for reputation and so on, since other girls don't care about it, why should I bother myself?It's a big deal, just repay others in the future...

Putting down Shen Yu's thoughts, Xu Zhen turned his attention back to the case of fake Wei Yulang.

To tell the truth, this case is very bizarre.

The perpetrator's methods are so high and his courage is so embarrassing.

You know, maids and servants are good at chatting, once they chatted that there were two Wei Yulangs there that night, wouldn't he have revealed his secrets?

However, this person seems to have made the right decision. Wei Yulang's family has strict discipline on the servants. One is to set up an area of ​​action for them, and the other is to prohibit them from discussing the master's family affairs indiscriminately.

Therefore, this matter has never been brought to light. No one knew that two Wei Yulangs appeared at home in three nights.

It can be seen from this that this person knows Wei Yulang's family very well, so he must be a relatively close person, and at least in terms of body shape and appearance, this person must be somewhat similar to Wei Yulang.

In addition, Xu Zhen also thought of one thing, that is, this person must be quite obsessed with Mrs. Wei. He must be deeply attracted by Mrs. Wei's beauty and cannot extricate himself, so he took such a risk.

Therefore, this fake Wei Yulang must have met Mrs. Wei many times before impersonating himself.

Or, this person is also a member of the Rama nation, and has a certain complex and admiration for Senna, the Princess Rama...

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen put a list in front of his eyes, and this list was the guest information of Wei Yulang's three banquets.

When Xu Zhen saw this information, he couldn't help feeling dizzy, but he saw that more than half of it was filled with foreign names.

Gee...

He gradually realized that this case was not as easy as he had imagined. With so many foreigners, it was very troublesome to investigate.

It seems... Xu Zhen thought instead that he might have to start with disguise and quack tricks.

This person not only disguised himself as Wei Yulang, but also used some kind of hallucinogenic means to make Mrs. Wei fall into a psychedelic state, unable to extricate herself, so that Mrs. Wei would not find out that he was a fake.

Disguise, tricks of the rivers and lakes...

Xu Zhen wondered if he needed to seek advice from a person from the Jianghu?
Hey?
Suddenly, he remembered the book "The Way of the Demon", which seemed to record some content about the disguise technique.

In the past few days, because of Shen Yu's presence, he hadn't studied the book carefully. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly took out the book.

As a result, after searching and searching, he found relevant content.

After reading these contents, Xu Zhen's blood boiled suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent.

The tutorial on disguise technique in the book is very detailed. If you follow the tutorial, you only need to find someone who has painting skills, and he should be able to disguise himself as another person!

Also, there are more than a dozen kinds of illusion methods recorded here, including Mixiang, whose characteristics seem to be very consistent with Mrs. Wei's description.

wow!

Aside from solving the case, if he could get these materials, wouldn't he be a flower picker?
Looking back, the book also records thousand skills, gambling skills, deception skills, medical skills, etc., all of which are very practical dry goods, and it is worthy of being a genuine time travel training manual.

In this way, this "The Way of the Demon" is really monster enough!

What is recorded here is not only the knowledge of the previous world, but also many unknown secret arts in the current world, as well as various clever prescriptions.

It can be seen from this that even if the author of this book is a time traveler, he is by no means an idle person.

The more Xu Zhen looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he became.

Such a fantastic book, why did the author give it to his grandma?

Is the author really his grandfather?
The book says "Give Mingyue", so is this Mingyue really grandma's name?

The grandfather is in the golden house, and he takes care of the grandma. After the grandma raised the child, she ran away from home...

So... where did grandma go?
Are you looking for grandpa?
What made her run away from home regardless of her family?

Could it be that she is no longer alive?
Otherwise, her parents have passed away, and she never came back to see it?

However, if grandma was still a pretty girl 40 years ago, she would be in her sixties at most now, right?
Will she appear in front of him one day?
otherwise……

Xu Zhen felt that it was necessary for him to investigate his own life experience. If he could find his grandparents, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.

How about... Go ask the old people next door and learn about the situation from them?

No, no.

He quickly thought that his identity was too sensitive, how could these gossiping old neighbors tell him the truth?
Therefore, it is better to find a middleman to help him investigate this matter.

Who to look for?
Hey?
Isn't it true that my aunt is the best candidate, and letting this gossip queen do the job will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

But...how should I put it so that my aunt can come out on top?

In this way, Xu Zhen thought over and over again, until midnight, before finally going back to his room to rest.

Lying on the bed, his brain did not rest, and even finally falling asleep was not easy, and he had a lot of dreams in a daze.

One of the dreams was particularly strange. It actually dreamed that the tiger girl Shen Yu really crawled into her bed in the middle of the night...

……

The next day, the yamen ordered Mao.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Zhen and Shen Yu traveled on the wrong peak.

When Xu Zhen stepped into the Yamen, Shen Yu was already standing in the queue.

However, as soon as he entered, Xu Zhen found that the atmosphere was not right again.

But seeing that all the people in the yamen were all facing the center of the lobby, their eyes were looking at something very strangely.

Looking along the trend, Xu Zhen finally saw that there was a monk kneeling there!
It was a young monk with a rough face, wearing a severely faded and patched robe, sitting cross-legged in meditation in the center of the hall.

He closed his eyes slightly, and quickly twisted the rosary beads hanging on his chest in his hands, and he was also chanting words.

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhen asked Fu Bin, "Is this for alms?"

"For alms?" Fu Bin shook his head and said, "Also exorcising ghosts!"

"Brother, brother," at this moment, Shen Yu quickly ran to Xu Zhen's side and told the truth, "It's so strange, this great monk surrendered himself!"
