I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 158 Night Watch (asking for monthly ticket)

Sang Que followed Yu Da to see all the crime scenes. Everyone believed that they were murders committed by evil spirits or ghosts, and no careful investigation of the scenes was conducted.

Relying on her limited experience from watching criminal investigation dramas, Sang Que searched the crime scene thoroughly inside and out.

Her eyes at the third level of the Nine Netherworld did not see any traces of evil spirits, but her naked eyes discovered some problems.

In addition to the place where the dead had finally knelt in a circle, there were splattered blood in other rooms.

Every room was tidy, with no signs of struggle or scuffle.

These actually all fit the characteristics of being killed by evil spirits, and the bloodstains can also be explained as being left behind by the evil spirits after taking the face of the person.

But unfortunately, Sangque found the same bloody footprints in every house.

This at least shows that there was someone at the scene at that time.

Unfortunately, according to Yu Da, the Thousand Faces Ghost was controlled by a ghost. Whether the Thousand Faces Ghost was out of control or was driven by a ghost, it would not be surprising that there was someone at the scene.

Their next main task is to find the person who controls the Thousand Faces Ghost within three days, or to imprison the Thousand Faces Ghost directly.

Yu Da’s idea was to just find the approximate location of the humans and ghosts, and leave the rest to Wei Wu; they would not risk any contact.

The whole case was still unclear, so Sang Que did not give too many opinions and just listened and watched.

The investigation of the crime scene has been completed, but it will take time for the detectives to summarize the results of their visits.

Sangque went back to the yard before it got dark and met Xiaowu at the gate of his yard.

Xiaowu held up an exquisite wooden box and said it was an old mountain ginseng that his captain gave to Xia Chan to thank Xia Chan for his help this time.

The reward for Qu Tianhe's case has also been announced, and Sang Que can get 100 merit points.

If she had joined the Evil Suppression Bureau when she was in the bandit camp in Ziyun Mountain, it would be a pity that she could only get 300 points this time.

The nail pieces that Sang Que had previously placed in Gongcaoyuan had also been exchanged. Excluding the handling fee, she received 95 merit points. In total, she currently had 500 merit points.

What can be useful to her now must be a ghost-level Yin object. All ghost-level Yin objects are above 500 merit points. A red candle like Yan Daozi's that can dispel evil spirits below level five costs 1,000 merit points each.

Sang Que only now understood that for someone as cunning as Yan Daozi, it was already very impressive that he could get two.

She left one for her mother, as her own had been used up the last time she faced the fish wife, so she would have to work harder to redeem it.

In addition, the Evil Suppression Bureau also has a very useful "scapegoat", which is the size of a palm and can withstand an attack from a fourth-level evil ghost. It costs 500 merit points each.

This thing is in short supply and you have to queue up if you want to exchange it.

There is nothing that Sangque can exchange for at the moment, so the merit points can only be saved temporarily.

After Xiaowu delivered the things, he left. Sangque washed up, changed into light clothes, left Xiachan to Kou Yushan's care, and only took Xuanyu away.

In the next three days, she will definitely have to follow Lao Yu everywhere and have no time to rest.

Damn the Evil Suppression Division. There are no labor contracts, and the officers there don’t live long. She thinks most of them die of exhaustion.

On the way back to Buyi Lane, Sang Que thought of Yin Tong's ghost eyes.

Xiaoliu said that the ghost eye can see into cause and effect and find the traces of ghosts, but Yin Tong has been holding the ghost eye in his hand since he got it and has not integrated it into his body.

Apart from the fact that One-Eye is too ugly, is it possible that Yin Tong is guarding against her and doesn't want to add new abilities to give her more work?

In terms of trying to be lazy and slack off, after Sang Que had been in the Evil Suppression Division for half a month...

From questioning Yin Tong to understanding Yin Tong, and now wanting to become Yin Tong.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Sang Que's mind that she should not be too outstanding when working as a night patrol envoy in the future, otherwise trouble would be blamed on her.

Yin Tong was unwilling to merge the ghost eye, but she could force him to give her the ghost eye. But she couldn't let anyone find out when using the ghost eye, otherwise the evil suppression department would definitely track her down. Also, there was the side effect of blindness after using the ghost eye, so she had to be careful.

Check it yourself first, and then tell me if you don’t understand.

Buyi Lane.

When Sang Que rushed back, it was already more than half an hour into the night. The alley was silent. Only a few families had lights on, and most of the yards were pitch black.

Especially those households close to the crime scene were empty.

The crime scene near the entrance of the alley was requisitioned by Yu Da. Sang Que returned to the yard and asked the two unpaid servants who helped to keep watch, only to find out that many people in Buyi Lane had moved away today.

Those who had shops in the city all went to stay in their shops, and those who didn't have shops chose to stay in inns tonight. No one dared to come back until the case was solved.

"Sang Er, you have performed Yin magic before, please ask Yin Zai a question."

Yu Da called Sang Que in the house. Sang Que first went to the kitchen to grab a handful of rice. When he entered the house, he found the corpse was still there, unmoved.

Yu Da didn't feel scared at all. He turned on the lamp and looked through the records of the police's interrogation in the afternoon on the table next to him. There were roast chicken and buns on the table. Yu Da read two pages and then tore off a piece of roast chicken to eat.

meow~
Xuanyu smelled the aroma of meat, jumped off Sangque, crawled in front of Yu Da, and meowed obediently.

Yu Da laughed, tore off a piece of meat for Xuan Yu, and warned, "Little guy, you can't get close to those corpses. Black cats are prone to resurrecting corpses if they touch them."

Meow!

Xuanyu responded by biting his flesh.

Sang Que used a dagger to take a relatively clean piece of cloth from the corpse, walked to the armchair opposite Yu Da and sat down, arranged the incense, yellow paper and a bowl of water that he would use later, tilted his head back and covered his face with the cloth, took a few grains of rice and put them in his mouth to chew dry.

After chewing for a while, he didn't taste the flavor of fireworks. Sangque took a few more grains to chew, but still didn't taste the flavor of fireworks.

After chewing for the third time, the Yin cub still didn't come. The Yin technique failed and could not be requested again.

Sang Que put down the cloth on his face and rubbed Xuan Yu's head. "Old Yu, do you want to try to summon the spirit?"

Yu Da shook his head, "No need. If the ghost can't be summoned, it means that the ghost is very vicious. The dead person may not have any soul left. Let's look at these and find some clues."

Yu Da gave half of the paper full of words in his hand to Sang Que. Sang Que felt dizzy. She had been traveling for two days and came back from Maple Ridge without even sleeping. Now she had to work the night shift again.

Sighing, Sang Que calculated the time and thought that Liu Tianyou should be here in about half a month.

"Xuanyu, look around too, see if there's anything I missed."

Sang Que scratched Xuan Yu's chin. Xuan Yu could always help her find clues.

Xuan Yu squinted his eyes comfortably and made a snoring sound. After enjoying Sangque's massage for a while, he stood up, shook his feathers, jumped off the table and patrolled the courtyard.

Sang Que started to have a headache after reading two pages. The handwritings of these detectives were all different, and the methods of recording content were also different.

Some of them were written down word for word of what others said, but the handwriting was so flamboyant and even more exaggerated than the prescriptions written by doctors in the hospital, and it was completely unrecognizable.

Some of the handwriting was clear, but only key words were recorded. Given Sangque's ability to connect context, it was difficult to determine what was being said.

Yu Da looked at it for a while, then poured some water for him to drink. "These families don't know each other. From all aspects, we can't find any common points among them. As for the worship of the Thousand-Faced Ghost, many people in Buyi Lane have worshipped it before, and some of them did not die after worshipping it."

"Why not let the coroner perform the autopsy?" Sang Que temporarily changed the subject to give his brain a rest.

Yu Da grabbed a bun and ate it, glancing at the corpse in the distance. "Killed by an evil spirit, what's there to examine? Besides, ordinary coroners can't find out the cause of the crime, and the coroner from the Evil Suppression Department won't be available until tomorrow."

Meow——

Xuan Yu suddenly let out a loud cry, Sang Que's eyes became stern, and he jumped off the chair in an instant, and the strong wind blew up all the papers on the table.

"There's someone on the roof, I'll go check it out!"
