Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 27
"Master Gu, someone is visiting."

In the back of the Tao's courtyard, Gu Chen, who was reading medical books, heard a message from the servants of the Tao's family.

"Looking for me?"

Seeing Tao's servants coming to him, Gu Chen asked differently.

The servant replied:

"It seems to be so. The person who came here claimed to be the patrol officer of Pinghu Division, and said he came to ask you, Young Master Gu, something."

"Pinghu Division patrolling..."

Zheng Hong?

Gu Chen thought of the policeman Pinghu who threw out Cunguang to kill Liu Dashi. Thanks to him, Gu Chen knew that Pinghu still had such a thing.

What did this patrolman come to find him for?
Gu Chen recalled what he had done recently. Except for turning some people into ghosts at the beginning, he hadn't done anything too outrageous recently.

Even for ghosts to eat, Gu Chen tried to let them find some fringe people, and ghosts don't need to eat every day. Their purpose of eating is not so much to satisfy their appetite, but more to enhance their own strength.

For example, Hei Si Mou, since he was summoned until now, he has never eaten, but he does not feel hungry.

So it's unlikely that Zheng Hong came to Gu Chen because of these things, but if it wasn't for these reasons... Could it be because of the Gu family's affairs?
By the way, Zheng Hong should have known about the Jinlong Temple extermination case. Didn't he link the two extermination cases together?

Gu Chen thought for a long time, and seeing that the servant in front of him was still standing in front of him, he quickly said politely:
"Sorry, I was out of my mind just now, let Zheng Xun catch over...cough cough..."

Gu Chen coughed twice while speaking.

This is the sequelae of being pierced in the chest last time, of course it is not a real sequelae, but Gu Chen needs this sequelae to perfect his personality.

Humans and animals are harmless and sick, even if something serious happens in the future, it is impossible to suspect him.

"Young Master Gu, you're welcome, then I'll let the policeman over here."

The servants were flattered by Gu Chen's politeness, he hurriedly bowed and said, then turned around and called Zheng Hong over.

After about a dozen breaths of time, the servant brought Zheng Hong and a relatively young man over.

Gu Chen took another look at the people around Zheng Hong, and thought that Liu Yuan was still recovering from his injuries, so he didn't have any special thoughts about Zheng Hong's change of assistant.

The only thing that needs to be taken care of is that the people around Zheng Hong are also Pinghu Division's arresters, so he should be more careful when he speaks later.

"Young Master Gu, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zheng Hong cupped his fists and apologized.

With a kind smile on Gu Chen's face, he said with a smile:

"It's okay, I don't have anything to do recently...cough cough..."

"Young master Gu's injury hasn't healed yet?"

"Doctor Li said that the root cause of the disease is probably about to fall, but his life is safe...By the way, I don't know why Xunzu Zheng came here today..."

Gu Chen showed appropriate doubts, Zheng Hong glanced at Gu Chen after listening, and then sighed:

"To be honest, just now, another major case happened in Dan'an City."

"Major case?"

"Yes, the Jinlong Temple located in the outer city... was destroyed by people."

"What?! Cough cough...Zheng...cough cough...Zheng Xunbu, this...Is this true?!"

Gu Chen was taken aback, and asked while coughing.

Zheng Hong looked at him a few more times, then nodded and said:
"It's true, and according to the scene, the Jinlong Temple extermination case this time seems to be similar to the Gu family extermination case, except that the criminals did not set fire afterwards."

Zheng Hong selectively concealed the method of death of those people in Jinlong Temple, and deliberately said that the modus operandi of the two cases was the same, just to see Gu Chen's reaction.

But Gu Chen's reaction was very ordinary. Apart from shock, he only had some hidden fear. He murmured:
"If... if it is true as Zheng Xunzheng said... doesn't it mean that the murderer is not dead yet? But... But didn't you say last time that the murderer has been executed?!"

"Yes, that's what I said, but it's also very likely that it was a chess piece that was pushed out. The real culprit is someone else, so I came here today to ask Mr. Gu, the day the Gu family was destroyed, did you really kill me?" Did you see nothing?"

"I... cough cough... I have said everything I should say! I have never seen anything except... except that I have witnessed the death of sister Xiaotao. I even learned about the destruction of the Gu family from Mr. Zheng. , Mr. Zheng should be very clear about these things."

Gu Chen is the illegitimate son of the Gu family, his status is low, and he lives in a remote house in the Gu family, so it is impossible for Gu Chen to know too much, and his current behavior is reasonable.

Although Zheng Hong also knew this, he still asked Gu Chen a few more questions, and after confirming that Gu Chen really didn't know anything, he followed Wu Chai and left Tao's house.

Watching Zheng Hong leave, Gu Chen glanced at the shadow behind him, and the sun above his head coughed a few times and returned to his room.

After stepping into the room, Gu Chen said with a bad expression:

"The guy named Zheng Hong seems to be following me."

In the shadows, Hei Si Mou's voice came:
"Do you want me to get rid of him?"

"No, it's too obvious to get rid of him now. I'm just wondering why he's staring at me when I obviously didn't do anything."

In terms of Gu Chen's superficial identity, there is no need for Zheng Hong to stand up to Gu Chen. After all, if he didn't know that there was a "ghost" around Gu Chen, it would be impossible for Ren Zhenghong to break his head and talk about Gu Chen's affairs with the Gu family. get in touch.

But now, Zheng Hong felt that there was something wrong with Gu Chen, which was totally unreasonable.

But compared to Gu Chen's incomprehension, Hei Si Mou said very flatly:

"There will always be people and things in the world that go beyond common sense."

"…makes sense."

Gu Chen glanced at Heishi Mou, knowing that he was thinking of his younger brother Ji Guoyuan Yi, who had been exceptionally gifted since he was born, so he didn't say anything more, and sat on the main seat and said in a deep voice:

"But having said that, if Zheng Hong really investigates something, it will be troublesome..."

"Why don't you try to participate in this matter, son?"

When Gu Chen had a headache, Hei Si Mou said suddenly.

Gu Chen frowned and looked at him: "Participate in this matter? Which matter? The case of Jinlong Temple extermination?"

"Exactly."

"I have nothing to do with this matter. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I got involved?"

"Young Master, from the moment you got the jade pendant, you have been unable to escape from this matter."

Black Death Mou said calmly.

Gu Chen was startled, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Although it is not clear whether there is any relationship between the destruction of the Jinlong Temple and the Jade Guanyin obtained by Gu Chen, even if there is no relationship, a jade pendant that can charge Gu Chen's summoning formation is definitely a rare item.

In case the person behind the destruction of Jinlong Temple really aimed at this jade pendant, no matter how much Gu Chen avoided it, the other party would eventually come to him.

It's better to take this opportunity to participate in it and establish a relationship with the Daqi court. In this way, even if someone really comes to the door at that time, Gu Chen's safety during the day can be guaranteed.

Black Death Mou probably meant this.

"But how do you get involved?"

Gu Chen is not smart, and usually he only suddenly bursts out beyond the usual wisdom on issues related to his own life, but now he has not reached that level, so Gu Chen didn't know what to do for a while.

Hei Si Mou didn't speak, he looked at the medical book in Gu Chen's hand.

In order to be able to study the characteristics of ghosts and develop medicines that can make ghosts not be afraid of sunlight in the future, Gu Chen has been studying medicine recently, and never leaves his medical books.

But now that he noticed Hei Simou's gaze, Gu Chen suddenly understood something.

Maybe... he can use the existence of 'ghost' again to do something.
