I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 167: Preparation for Detention (asking for monthly ticket)

All the questions that needed to be asked have been asked clearly. Now all that remains is to detain the gambler Wu Renxing. Otherwise, at night, the arrangements around the gambling house may not be able to trap the gambler, and he will still go out and kill people.

Yu Da said to Sang Que, "It is daytime now. Unless there are special circumstances, the gambler will not leave the gambling house. This is a good time to imprison him. If Wu Renxing, the gambler, really came out of the coffin in the gambling house, then the coffin is a part of him. We must put Wu Renxing back into the coffin and then seal it up so that we can imprison him perfectly."

"It's easy to seal the coffin. Drive four peach wood nails into the four corners of the coffin, press the Bagua mirror in the middle, tie the coffin with the soul-locking rope, and finally use the ink fountain to draw criss-crossing ink lines. Then it will be foolproof. But the biggest problem is how to get Wu Renxing into the coffin. You are only a third-level ghost walker, and your evil fog cannot forcibly move the fourth-level evil spirits."

"Where is the soul-calling incense?" Sang Que asked.

Yu Da shook his head. "The soul-calling incense is only useful for evil spirits. When they reach the ghost level, the soul-calling incense has no appeal to them."

"Attraction?" Sang Que thought thoughtfully, "Currently, Wu Renxing has killed people who have gambled in the gambling house. So at night, he will definitely go out to kill those gamblers. What will happen if I divert his target when Wu Renxing is about to attack a living person?"

Yu Da's eyes lit up, "That's a solution. You can't move the fourth-level evil spirits, but you can move ordinary people. As long as you transfer this person to the coffin, Wu Renxing will most likely go to the coffin to kill people."

"It's just that we don't know yet whether Wu Renxing will change someone to kill once he loses his current target. Also, at night, ghosts will become more powerful. It's easier for accidents to happen when crossing such a long distance."

Sang Que thought for a while, "Then can I follow Wu Renxing with the coffin?"

"It shouldn't be possible. The coffin must be placed in the gambling house to have the special meaning of 'seeing the coffin brings wealth'. In order to detain Wu Renxing, in addition to putting him back in the coffin, the gambling house must also be sealed off on the spot. We can deal with it after the situation calms down. Also, Wu Renxing's methods of killing people outside the gambling house and inside the gambling house are different."

Sang Que looked embarrassed. When Wu Renxing killed people outside the gambling house, he would kill the entire family directly. But inside the gambling house, he would make people lose all their family members by betting on the size of the bet, and then kill them.

Same result, different process.

Yu Da thought for a moment and said, "If there are two people who can walk in the dark, and combine their strength, maybe they can force Wu Renxing into the coffin."

Sang Que immediately thought of Qin Ze, but unfortunately he had been transferred and would not be able to come back in a short time.

Cui Cheng doesn't like ghosts, so there are no ghosts among the day-roaming envoys, only among the night-roaming envoys.

"Where can I find a ghost walker now?"

Sang Que also thought of Xia Chan, but this time he was facing a gambler on the fourth floor, so Sang Que was unsure.

Unlike before in the bandit camp, where they faced zombies and living people, she was confident that she could bring Xia Chan in and out.

Yu Da touched his face and said, "In fact, there is still a ghost walker in Wangshan City now."

"Thousand-faced ghost?"

Yu Da nodded, "But the person who controls the Thousand Faces Ghost is very good at hiding, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find him."

"If you can't find it, let this person come out by himself!"

Judging from the previous behavior of the Thousand-Faced Ghost Rider, he can be said to be a man who hates evil and can be asked for cooperation after he shows up.

Having watched a lot of modern TV dramas and novels, and with the influence of his mother, Sang Que has a lot of ideas except that he is not good at studying.

She turned and looked at Wei Wu, who was emitting resentment, "Master Wei Wu, I have decided to take action tonight, but I have to trouble you with one thing during the day."

Wei Wu snorted coldly and turned his head.

"I'd like to trouble you to issue a city-wide warrant for the driver of the Thousand-Faced Ghost. The bigger the better. It would be best if all the people in the city knew that anyone who worships the Thousand-Faced Ghost again will be severely punished by the Evil Suppression Division. In addition, the Evil Suppression Division already has solid evidence that the case in Buyi Lane was committed by the Thousand-Faced Ghost."

Wei Wu still tilted his head, not wanting to pay attention to Sang Que.

Seeing this, Sang Que said, "It seems that Master Wei Wu is unwilling to cooperate? In this case, Master Wei Wu should seek help from someone else."

As he spoke, Sang Que took out his Night Walker token.

Wei Wu's eyes twitched, and he said impatiently, "Got it!"

You keep saying you're quitting, who are you trying to threaten? I'll make things difficult for you after I lock up the gambler! Wei Wu thought angrily in his heart, glared at Xue Er next to him, and shouted angrily, "Don't you have ears? Why don't you go to work?"

Just as Xue Er was about to leave, he was stopped by Sang Que again. Sang Que asked him to find more people to check the list and residences of the regular customers of the gambling house and make sure that the road from the gambling house to these people's residences was unobstructed after nightfall.

"Sang Er, I don't have any skills, so I won't go in with you. I'll go get the things you need to seal the coffin."

Yu Dama ran away, fearing that Sang Que would drag him in to investigate.

Sang Que never thought about going in now, she was also afraid of uncontrollable accidents.

Sang Que stayed in the restaurant opposite the gambling house all day, ordering Wei Wu to work for her.

Before noon, the news that the Buyi Lane bloody case was committed by the Thousand-Faced Ghost had spread all over the city.

When it comes to threatening people, Wei Wu is really good at it.

The Thousand-Faced Ghost had too shallow a foundation, and after being identified as an evil being by the Evil Suppression Bureau, those who once worshipped it turned against it one after another, and some even took the initiative to "surrender" to the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Some of them have seen the driver of the Thousand Faces Ghost and have asked him for help. They said that this person is very famous in both the black and white worlds and his code name is "Thousand Faces".

However, the Thousand Faces described by these people are all different. Some say he is an old man, some say he is a scholar, some say he is a prostitute, and some say he is a carpenter. There are all kinds of descriptions, which makes him worthy of the name "Thousand Faces".

Time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually darkened, and no suspicious people appeared around the gambling house. Sang Que's heart sank little by little.

At dusk, Kou Yushan was dismissed from office and came to see her with Xia Chan and Xuan Yu, and also brought her dinner.

As a result, she didn't eat much and Xia Chan ate all the dinner.

When Xuanyu saw the gambling house, he looked terrified and hid in Sangque's arms and refused to come out, even though he was still holding a grudge against Sangque for training him yesterday.

When it got dark, Yu Da prepared the peach wood nails and Bagua mirror for sealing the coffin. Sang Que had his own soul-locking rope and inkstone. The inkstone was from Yan Daozi and was better than the ones usually prepared by the Suppression of Evils Division.

In addition, Yu Da also gave Sang Que a large bag of incense ash, saying that he took it out from the incense burner at the Zhenxie Division.

The evil ghosts on the fourth level already have the ability to control ghost slaves. The incense ashes at the evil-suppression office have the power of Daojun, Shoufo and Prime Minister. They are more powerful than ordinary incense ashes and can deal with ghost slaves.

The talisman paper on the gambling house door and the cinnabar and black dog blood on the ground have all been removed. Now all we have to do is wait for the gambler to kill someone.

Wei Wu and Xue Er, along with a few hired servants and Yuan Gui from the gambling house, stationed in the restaurant to see how Sang Que would imprison the gambler.

Sangque didn't wait for Qianmian, but instead waited for two day tour teams responsible for Changle Lane and Kangfu Lane. They were not there to assist Sangque, but people had died in these two places, and they were also responsible for part of the gamblers' affairs.

Before the action, Sang Que called Yu Da, Kou Yushan and Xia Chan aside and asked them to stay in the restaurant and wait for her signal. Xia Chan would come to help and keep an eye on Wei Wu and the other three teams, to be careful of anyone secretly causing trouble.

There is still no clue about the person hiding behind Wu Renxing, so Sang Que must be on guard against everyone.

After nightfall, the moonlight was dim and the wind was cold. The bodies outside the gambling house had been dealt with, leaving only large bloodstains on the ground.

The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound was the sound of summer cicadas chewing on radishes, which attracted Wei Wu and the others to look over frequently.

He Buning asked Xiao Wu to bring her some wild ginseng, but Xia Chan took one bite and said it was unpalatable and threw it aside. She still liked to chew on radishes, which were crispy and sweet.

"He's out! That gambler is out!"

Yuan Gui, who was lying on the restaurant window, suddenly shouted and pointed at the entrance of the gambling house. Sang Que and the others all stood up from their chairs and stared at the gambling house.

However, apart from the lantern at the entrance of the gambling house that suddenly turned green, no one saw the gambler, including Sang Que.

　see you tomorrow~
