Paranormal incident investigation notes

After Zheng Peng said these words, several people immediately realized something.

"Uncle Zheng, is this fountain broken, which one is broken, and that dragon-suppressing pile pattern?"

Zheng Peng walked around the fountain and examined it carefully, frowning tightly.

After a long time, he sighed.

"According to records in ancient books, this position happens to be the point where the Qi of Zhenlong Zhuang gathers. The Qi moves with the water, and the fountain will spray water into the sky, which will release the Qi."

Lu Ming didn't really believe in this set of metaphysical theories. In fact, he never believed this from beginning to end. The reason why I agreed to follow the existing clues is just to see if I can get closer to the truth in this way.

However, at this moment, with Zheng Peng's judgment, one thing can finally be confirmed.

That is, there were indeed mistakes and omissions in the layout of Zhenlongzhuang after Wu Qingfu.

This was just a guess by a few members of the second action team before, but now it was finally confirmed from the mouth of a professional, Zheng Peng.

In this way, from an overall perspective, another missing piece of the puzzle has been filled in the logical context of the entire "Haunted House" case.

Zhang Dingshan said: "Uncle Zheng, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, if there is anything wrong with this dragon-suppressing pile, I will fix it."

Lu Ming could clearly detect that Zheng Peng was still looking at the main building of Binhai Building with a look of fear.

After all, because of the "revenge" of that "fierce ghost", Wei Yan's entire family died, and he also ended up miserable. This time he repairs the dragon-suppressing stake and suppresses the fierce ghost again, but he doesn't know how severe the retaliation will be.

But he didn't hesitate at all.

Lu Ming sighed in his heart.

"I just hope that Zheng Qianglong can change his mind and reform in prison, so as not to let down the opportunity that his father gave his life for..."

"Tear down this fountain first."

Zheng Peng made the first instruction.

"good."

Gao Chunhua was confused and a little unable to accept being commanded by a magic stick. In particular, Sheriff Zhang Dingshan and the others, who he admired in his heart and was known as the top "criminal investigation master" and was regarded as the last hope for solving the murderous house case, actually obeyed this magician's words.

But he still just suppressed these doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart without showing any signs of it.

Under the protection of many security guards, some construction workers entered the scene. In front of Zheng Peng, it took less than an hour to dismantle the fountain. Then, following his instructions, they used concrete and other materials to dismantle the fountain. The potholes are filled.

After that, Zheng Peng first walked around the Binhai Building several times, carefully checking every plant and tree here, and carefully calculating the distance between the various buildings. Sometimes he would look up at the sky and keep pinching his fingers, as if calculating. position.

Until evening, a waning moon rose into the sky, and several bright stars also appeared in the night sky.

Zheng Peng raised his head to gaze at the stars, and made another calculation that seemed extremely complicated.

In the second half of the night, Zheng Peng took a nap. Early the next morning, he got up.

"Fortunately, I haven't given up my skills of stargazing and measuring earth veins yet."

Zheng Peng said with some emotion, and led several members of the second operation team, as well as Gao Chunhua and several security guards, directly to a place about two hundred meters in front of the Binhai Building.

There is a flower bed with some plants such as Dieffenbachia growing in it.

"Dig it up."

Gao Chunhua called in the construction workers again. Several workers used various tools and soon dug it out to a depth of more than one meter.

"Officer, there's something."

Zheng Peng perked up and stepped forward immediately.

Lu Ming looked intently and saw a bit of metallic color. Zheng Peng carefully cleaned away the dirt, and the true appearance of the thing was revealed.

It was a metal box, with rust on the outside, and it seemed to be old.

Lu Ming did not expect that after some operations, Zheng Peng actually dug something.

Even if he had buried this box with his own hands before, the scenery on the ground has changed a lot over the past few decades, and his memory is bound to be biased. Now Zheng Peng made some calculations and observed the celestial phenomena, and he found it directly after only one try. This shows that at least within Zheng Peng's "professional field", he does have some skills.

Looking at the metal box, Zheng Peng seemed to recall something, and his face was filled with emotion.

Opening the metal box, a wooden sign wrapped in transparent plastic appeared in front of people.

The wooden sign was about the size of a palm, and it had a simple color as a whole, with many mysterious patterns outlined on it.

"Decades ago, I watched with my own eyes as the master buried this token in this position, letting it act as a suppressor and become part of the dragon-suppressing pile formation."

"Now……"

Zheng Peng picked it up and shook his head: "Look."

Lu Ming looked carefully and followed Zheng Peng's instructions. He saw that although the wooden sign was not decayed, there was a thin crack in the middle that penetrated the entire sign.

"Is this damaged?"

Zheng Peng nodded.

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Is the damage to this wooden sign caused by cracks caused by uneven humidity inside and outside over time, or is it due to the influence of some unspeakable force - such as the influence of the "fierce ghost" suppressed by the dragon-suppressing pile? , it’s hard to tell at the moment.

But now is not the time to pursue the matter.

Gao Chunhua didn't say a word, but handed him another wooden sign that had been prepared according to Zheng Peng's instructions.

The two wooden signs have exactly the same pattern and the same material. Just one new and one old.

Zheng Peng took it carefully, put it into the iron box as it was, and carefully buried it as it was.

This is the first place.

After that, Zheng Peng went straight to the second place. That's under a floor tile.

"Last time, when my master and I set up the formation together, this place was still a forest. Now..."

Zheng Peng was deeply moved by the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life.

"dig."

Several workers did as they were told, lifted up the floor tiles, and dug about one meter away. Sure enough, they saw another iron box.

Opening it, a stone statue of a god was revealed.

There is no damage to this statue, but its color is dull.

"This formation eye is not damaged, but it's better to replace it with a new one."

Zheng Peng bowed devoutly to the statue twice, then carefully took out an identical new statue, put it into the iron box, and buried it again.

After that, Zheng Peng searched several places and found a piece of talisman paper, a dagger, a piece of iron and other things.

Some of them are damaged and some are intact. But Zheng Peng replaced them all with new ones.

During this process, no matter how much the scenery on the ground changed, how different it was from when he followed Wei Yanzhen to set up the formation decades ago, Zheng Peng could find everything in one go and never made a mistake.

Just looking at this skill alone, it does seem like there is some skill.

It took two full days of busy work to complete the "refurbishment" of the dragon-suppressing pile formation. After that, Zheng Peng opened the altar again, dressed in Taoist robes, holding wooden swords, talismans, copper bells, etc., and muttered words in front of the table, doing a lot of tricks.

After everything was done, Zheng Peng's face was full of exhaustion.

"Officer He, I have made up for all the deficiencies in the dragon-suppressing stake formation."

But things are not over yet.

The dragon-suppressing stake formation has been completed, but... is it really effective?

According to the current logic and clues, the reason why the "fierce ghost" got out of trouble was that the dragon-suppressing pile formation was damaged. Then, if the damage is repaired and the dragon-suppressing pile formation is re-established, the evil ghost will of course be trapped again.

But this is only theoretical. In reality, how to verify it?

This thing cannot be tested through scientific instruments, equipment, etc.

"Don't worry." Zheng Peng said: "According to ancient records, no matter how high the magic power of this evil ghost is, no matter how much it has recovered now, it will definitely be suppressed under the dragon-suppressing pile formation. It can pass through at most a trace of magic power Come to take revenge on me, but now, if you want to kill someone, it is impossible to do it no matter what."

According to Zheng Peng's previous experience, the method of "retaliating against the person who set up the formation through a trace of magic power" can only affect the "fate" of the person who set up the formation, causing them to suffer bad luck and a miserable fate, but it will never be able to actually kill people. such as.

"Tomorrow night, I will stay in this building by myself all night. You will know soon whether the dragon-suppressing pile formation is useful or not."

It is indeed the simplest and most direct verification method to let a person test it in person to see if he will still be killed by the "fierce ghost".

However, no one is more suitable for this responsibility than Zheng Peng.

This was one of the conditions for He Wei to help him bring his son back and prevent his son from continuing to slide into the abyss.

Lu Ming still had some hesitation in his heart.

In any case, taking a human life to verify a certain issue always challenges his moral bottom line. But Zheng Peng expressed full confidence in this: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If the dragon-suppressing pile did not work, something should have happened when Binhai Building was first built, and it would not have been delayed for so long. Officer Lu, just rest assured."

Lu Ming thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

"However, before you go in, Uncle Zheng, we will do some experiments first. Well, let's try using animals such as mice, pigs, and monkeys."

"That's fine."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Uncle Zheng, don't worry. When you go in, we will stay outside and watch you through surveillance. If anything goes wrong, we will go there immediately."

"good."

It was only noon at the moment. After finishing all these things, Zheng Peng was very tired, but he did not go to rest.

Under the leadership of Lu Ming, he came to another place.

This is a barren mountain wilderness, located at the foot of a hill on the outskirts of the city.

Here, Zheng Peng took a compass and measured everything for a long time. Waiting until night, I watched the sky at night and was busy until late at night before falling asleep.

At this time, dozens of mice, monkeys, and pigs have been placed in different locations in the Binhai Building, and all are closely monitored. But until the sun rose, these animals showed no signs of abnormality.

During the day of the next day, Zheng Peng was busy until the afternoon, and finally guided the transferred architectural designers to complete the production of an architectural drawing.

"Let's build it according to this drawing."

This is a scaled-down version of the dragon-suppressing pile formation.

Lu Ming nodded.

After finalizing these things, in the evening, after 12 o'clock, everyone gathered in front of the Binhai Building again.

According to Zhang Dingshan's instructions, many scientific research and observation equipment have been placed in Binhai Building, where the old liar master and several others died.

Here, there are the most basic equipment for temperature, humidity, air pressure, air composition detection, etc., as well as radiation, pulse and other detection equipment that are usually rare.

In short, all the equipment that can be put there is put there.

Under the watch of everyone, Zheng Peng turned around and walked into Binhai Building alone.
