Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 17
Out of habit, some questions immediately appeared in Li Canghai's mind.

The incense burner has been placed for decades and has not been touched by anyone. Why is there a sudden deviation?
Even if someone can push a weight of hundreds of catties, who would be so bored and come here in the middle of the night to push this for fun?

If the pilgrims didn't do it on purpose, who would it be?What is the purpose?
"Hui Guang, thieves have appeared frequently recently, carefully inspect the Di cemetery, and don't let the thieves take advantage of the loopholes." A middle-aged monk came over with an umbrella and said to the monk.

"Brother, don't worry, Huiguang will inspect carefully." Huiguang saluted the monk.

Listening to the conversation between the two, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Li Canghai's mind.

"Could it be that some thieves are pushing the censer? They want to steal Di Renjie's tomb?" The more Li Canghai thought about it, the more likely it was.

Di Renjie, as a famous figure of a generation, Wu Zetian will definitely give him countless treasures to be buried with him. Presumably some tomb robbers are eyeing the treasures in this tomb.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai came up with an idea: If the incense burner was really moved by the tomb robbers, would the appearance of Di Renjie have something to do with this matter?
Li Canghai tried to combine what happened in Di's cemetery with Di's family, but found that there was no clue to connect the two.

Tomb robbers are usually for the treasure, but what is the purpose of Di Renjie's appearance?If Di Renjie's appearance is caused by tomb robbers, what are they planning?
"Could it be that all of this is just a coincidence?" Li Canghai couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, so he muttered to himself.

Huiguang had already separated from the middle-aged monk. He walked up to Li Canghai and saw him murmuring in a daze, so he said, "Everything in the world is formed by the convergence of causes and conditions. Benefactor, you are in good shape."

At this moment, Li Canghai's mind was in chaos, his thoughts were like ants in circles, and he couldn't find a way out.

Huiguang's words pulled him out of the chaos like enlightenment.

"That's right, there are no coincidences in the world, and all coincidences have their reasons. The timing of Duke Di's apparition and the movement of the incense burner is so close, it can't be a coincidence, there must be a special reason."

Li Canghai thought about all this, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master, thank you for your enlightenment, I understand, haha."

With a smile on his face, Huiguang bowed and said, "Amitabha, the donor has a deep root of wisdom, and he is truly a man of merit."

Not caring about talking to Huiguang about anything else, Li Canghai turned around to say goodbye, and hurried to Di's house.

Back at Di's house, Li Canghai immediately called the servants to buy some hemp rope and fishing nets.

Di Qing hadn't had a good night's sleep after experiencing the 'Underworld'. When she returned home this time, she slept until almost noon.

Dragging a long skirt, rubbing her eyes lazily, Di Qing was dressed in Xiaojiabiyu's attire, light pink long skirt, loose hair, Li Canghai was stunned for a full minute before recovering.

"This girl is so charming after changing her fine clothes, she looks like a fairy descending to earth!" Li Canghai stared straight at Di Qing, thinking to himself.

Di Qing yawned, and when she saw Li Canghai staring at her, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

For the first time, Di Qing didn't hit him, and didn't even threaten him with words, but asked curiously: "Li Canghai, what are you doing?"

Several servants were busy tying ropes, while Li Canghai was fiddling with fishing nets. He squinted his eyes and said, "Catch ghosts!"

"Catch ghosts?" Di Qing's eyes widened with an incredulous expression on her face.

However, she soon understood what Li Canghai said, and immediately became excited.

"It's so much fun, I've never caught a ghost before!"

Li Canghai looked at her with interest, and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts? Why are you so excited now?"

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him, and said proudly: "My lady has even been to the 'Hell of the Underworld', and is still afraid of ghosts? I want to see what kind of monster dares to pretend to be the ancestor of this lady. If I catch it, I will let you He's out of his wits!"

As Di Qing spoke, she waved her fists, looking at her posture and wishing she could find someone to fight immediately.

At three o'clock in Haishi, Di Ying hid in the dark with a group of servants, holding talismans in his hand, staring nervously at the clan hall.

Li Canghai and Di Qing hid on the roof opposite the clan hall, where you can see the situation inside the clan hall.

"Cang Hai, will that ghost really come?" Di Qing asked with an extremely unnatural expression.

Li Canghai stared at the clan hall intently, and said in deep thought: "As long as he hasn't found what he wants, he should come again."

"Looking for something?" Di Qing felt a little puzzled.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "The Di family has many houses, but this 'ghost' keeps appearing in the clan hall. I guess there must be something he needs here."

Di Qingxiu frowned, and said doubtfully: "There is nothing else in the clan hall, they are all old things left by the ancestors, not even a single thing of value."

Time passed bit by bit, and it was approaching in a blink of an eye.

The clan hall was extremely calm, without any movement.

"What's the matter, why is there no movement at all? Did you guess wrong?" Di Qing asked a little depressed.

Li Canghai didn't speak, he stared at the clan hall, suddenly a shadow floated past the window of the clan hall.

"coming!"

Li Canghai pointed at the clan hall, and immediately sent out a signal.

After receiving the signal, the servants who were ambushing outside the clan hall quietly moved towards the windows with cloth bags in their hands.

Li Canghai turned down along the eaves, he leaned in front of the door, and saw a figure through the crack of the door.

The figure was seven feet long, wearing a black long gown, its figure was quite similar to the portrait of Di Gong hanging in the clan hall.

The figure was patrolling back and forth in the family hall, as if it was really looking for something.

"Where is the ghost, dare to pretend to be Di Gong? I will take you in today!" Li Canghai kicked the door open, jumped out, imitating the movie dialogue from his previous life, and roared.

The figure was concentrating on searching, but when it heard the roar, it didn't react at all, but turned its head calmly.

Li Canghai gasped suddenly, it was exactly the same as Di Renjie's portrait, especially the paleness on his face, as if he crawled out of a grave.

The 'ghost' looked at Li Canghai for a second, then suddenly raised his arm, and his wide sleeves instantly wrapped around Li Canghai's neck.

The sudden change caught Li Canghai by surprise. The sleeve was like a boa constrictor, wrapping around his neck tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Li Canghai's veins were exposed, his eyeballs were protruding, and he was about to suffocate to death at any moment.

In a panic, Li Canghai grabbed the dagger that Di Qing gave him, and he pulled out the dagger and sliced ​​at his sleeve.

The dagger was extremely sharp, and the sleeve was cut off instantly.

Li Canghai was panting heavily, and at this moment his eyes were fierce, and with a groan, he stabbed hard at the opponent.

The ghost didn't seem to have expected that Li Canghai would be able to break free of his sleeves, and after a little bit of figure, he floated back in an instant and was suspended in the air.

"Come on people!"

Li Canghai hit the air with one blow, and immediately blew a whistle.

The ghost was suspended in mid-air, looking at Li Canghai with empty eyes, as if looking at a dead person.Hearing Li Canghai's yell, the ghost suddenly turned around and flew towards the window on the left.
