Chapter 15: The Mystery of Donghua Village
"It's okay, Officer Zhou . We are acquainted with each other. This villa is quite famous in this area, Officer Zhou, you can see it now. As for the matter of Donghua Village, I just moved in yesterday and I am not familiar with this place. Also, Officer Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. If you don't mind, just call me brother."
Zhou Qi looked at me meaningfully, "Haha, I like straightforward people like you. I won't be polite then. This is my business card, what's your phone number? I'll have to trouble you with some things in the future."
I didn’t take the misunderstanding with Zhou Qi to heart. Instead, I admired Zhou Qi’s bold and responsible style of doing things.
Zhou Qi saved my phone number in his mobile phone and then left with his police officers.
Ningxiang had already taken the incense and candles and went to look for the two little ghosts. The living room suddenly seemed a little empty.
I took out the brazier and lit it. I took out the jade pendant from my pocket and threw it into the brazier. The jade pendant instantly broke into pieces in the flames, and a trace of red liquid turned into steam and dissipated in the air.
I returned to the bedroom and took out the things in my backpack. Suddenly, I found that the original crack on the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror had disappeared!
Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror, Qiankun represents yin and yang. At this time, the part representing the yang side is emitting waves of heat, while the part representing the yin side is freezing cold.
What a treasure! I couldn't help but admire it. The five elements magic array in this extremely yin place is in perfect harmony with yin and yang, and it unexpectedly repaired the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror. This is really a great opportunity.
Infusing spiritual power, the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror glowed with a hazy light. A small red dragon slowly swam. As it swam, the light of the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror gradually became clearer, forming a three-sided diamond-shaped mirror floating in the air.
My heart was immediately excited. This Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror was indeed extraordinary.
Just looking at the layout of the three mirrors, it fits the Three Talents Formation and has the effect of trapping spirits. Looking at the mirror again, it is still foggy.
"It seems that I am still not strong enough to drive this magic weapon!" I sighed, and thought of Zhou Qi whom I met for the first time. But I felt that the mirror in front of me suddenly rippled.
After a moment, the mirror showed the scene of Donghua Village.
Zhou Qi sat in the command vehicle, and a policeman appeared in the mirror, waving and saluting. He was also saying something. Unfortunately, the mirror only had images but no sound.
After a moment, Zhou Qi got out of the car with a serious expression and shook hands with an old man with a thin face, beard and wearing a Zhongshan suit.
The old man took out a few talismans and handed them to Zhou Qi, and then walked towards a house with Zhou Qi.
The scene changed.
This was an ordinary living room of a civilian house. In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man lay on a mat. The man's body was swollen, and yellow liquid was oozing out of his mouth and nose from time to time.
My eyes suddenly fixed. This was not a murder, but rather a death by a water ghost. The strange thing was that a water ghost would harm people in a river or pond, but this person was killed by a water ghost at home! This was weird!
The old man looked at the corpse, turned around and asked Zhou Qi and the accompanying police officers to put the talisman he had given them earlier on.
Then the old man took out a compass, circled the dead body, frowned, shook his head and sighed, and then spoke to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi's eyes became more and more serious. After a moment, he turned around and told the people around him to control the scene tightly.
The old man took out a handful of talismans from his arms and threw them into the sky, muttering something.
At this moment, the corpse lying on the ground suddenly sat up, his eyes glowing with a long and cold light, staring at the old man.
The old man's expression changed drastically, and he shouted something loudly. He stepped back and took out a small golden bowl from his arms, which floated above his head.
Looking again, Zhou Qi took out his pistol when the old man was shouting, and it was spraying sparks. But it was useless. Then he turned around and left anxiously.
"Magic weapon!" I exclaimed. It seems that this old man is also a metaphysical person. I just don't know what happened to this corpse and why it is so powerful.
The image of the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror became blurred when I was distracted.
Alas! I sighed, and my spiritual power was consumed again. It was impossible to activate the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror.
I am not worried about Zhou Qi's safety. It is obvious that the old man has some skills.
Sitting cross-legged, he practiced the formula of the Bu Yi Divine Art. Being above the extremely yin land, his spiritual power recovered quickly.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Qi suddenly called.
"Brother Ni, I have a problem here, can you come over and help me?"
"Brother Zhou, don't you have a master there? What went wrong?" I asked casually in confusion.
"Uh! Brother Ni is very capable, but how did you know Master Zheng Qihuai?"
"Haha." I responded with a dry laugh. I couldn't tell you the truth. Let me look at you in the mirror!
"Nothing, just a little trick. Well, I'll be there in a minute."
After hanging up the phone, I took out some yellow paper and prepared some talismans to drive away the ghosts. I also took the peach wood stick and copper coins with me. Then I walked out of the house and rushed to Donghua Village in front of me.
Donghua Village is not a big place, and the public security has always been very good. A murder case happened, and the curious villagers had already surrounded the place where Zhou Qi was handling the case.
"Have you heard that the son of the old Niu family was strangled to death yesterday?"
"Isn't it? That murderer is really powerful!"
"Tsk, you sound like you've seen it before!"
"I haven't seen it! I can guess that the kid from the Niu family is still in the room . So many policemen have not made any move yet. How can the murderer not be powerful!"
"Yes! Early in the morning, several policemen went door to door to investigate."
The villagers were talking at once, while the policemen who were maintaining the scene had gloomy faces and remained silent.
Beep! A horn sounded. A Cherokee passed by me.
The police at the scene immediately dispersed the crowd and cleared a path. The Cherokee parked openly within the cordon.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in a neat suit walked respectfully to the back seat of the car and opened the door.
"Ahem! Folks, I am Wang Dashan, the Public Security Bureau Chief of Dongmen City. Everyone listen to me. We are the people's team and will never let the murderer go. We will definitely investigate thoroughly. Please go back home. The Public Security Bureau will definitely give an explanation and give everyone peace."
A burly middle-aged man in a neat suit got out of the car, and he announced his identity in a high-profile manner as soon as he got off the car.
Unfortunately, the villagers who were watching had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, the police who were maintaining order hurriedly persuaded the villagers to leave, but their attitude was rather tough.
"Go back, there's nothing to see. You are interfering with the police in their investigation and you will be held legally responsible."
The villagers then began to retreat. At this time, I was walking forward and immediately stood out.
"Hey! That young man, leave quickly!"
A policeman who was maintaining order immediately pointed at me and shouted loudly.
I looked around to make sure the other party was talking to me, then I smiled and said, "Captain Zhou Qi asked me to come here, so please inform Captain Zhou Qi."
The policeman looked me up and down. Seeing that I was wearing sneakers, jeans, and a casual jacket, his eyes flashed with disdain: "Don't ask the leader to come out to see you when there is nothing wrong. If you really have something to do, wait for Captain Zhou to come out."
"Xiao Li! Be gentle with the masses. "
I don't know when Director Wang Dashan noticed me. He just glanced at me for a few seconds, then said something official and turned to walk towards the temporary command center.
"Yes, Chief Wang!" The policeman quickly gave a standard military salute.
"You'd better inform Captain Zhou, otherwise I'll leave. If you want me to come again, you'll have to invite me in person."
I was suddenly a little depressed and my tone became unfriendly when faced with such snobbery.
"Leave now, or I'll charge you with interfering with the police's work and ask you to come to the police station." The policeman's face suddenly darkened. If the leader wasn't here, he probably wouldn't have just said that.
"Okay! Very good! I'll wait for you to treat me!" I was so angry that I was actually happy. I turned around and was about to leave.
"Ni Ge! Wait a minute!"
Just as I turned around, Zhou Qi from the command center just came out and saw me.
I stopped and stood there with an indifferent look on my face. But the policeman in front of me had a different look on his face.
"Brother, why are you leaving right after you got here?" Zhou Qi ran over and glanced coldly at the embarrassed policeman.
"Which detachment are you from?"
The policeman's face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "Report, Captain Zhou. I am Lin Gongzi, a police officer from the Fourth Criminal Police Brigade."
Zhou Qi nodded, but didn't bother to look at him again and grabbed my arm.
"Brother Ni Ge, don't mind if your subordinates are ignorant. Come on, let's go inside. I'll introduce you to Director Wang."
"Wait, Brother Zhou, everything has a cause and effect. I arrived, but was kicked out by Officer Lin. This can only be because the cause and effect has not yet come. Let's forget about this matter."
"Brother, this matter really can't be let go! I will handle this matter properly and make sure you are satisfied."
"Lin Gongzi, please hand over your gun and report to the detachment instructor."
In front of me, Zhou Qi took away Lin Gongzi's gun. Lin Gongzi's face was pale, and even his hand was shaking as he handed over the gun.
Haha! I chuckled twice: "Brother Zhou, it's really not the cause and effect yet. People in metaphysics talk about cause and effect in everything. This thing can't be forced."
Seeing that I was determined, Zhou Qi stood in front of me somewhat awkwardly.
However, although Zhou Qi is straightforward, he is a smart man. As soon as he saw the atmosphere between me and Lin Gongzi, he understood the general idea.
"Well, Brother Ni, please wait a moment."
