Monk Ma frowned, and asked a question: "If the murderer is really a wolf demon, a dog demon, or something like that, the people we stay will still be smelled by them , so as to scare the snake away?"

Shan Daonian nodded ponderingly: "The monk's worry is not unreasonable. The wolf monster, dog monster and even cat monster have a strong sense of smell, and they can smell our scent from far away."

Having said that, he suddenly found that Cui Yougui looked confident, and hurriedly asked, "Old Taoist, is there anything you can do?"

Cui Yougui really has a way: "I'm afraid that the ghosts will smell the smell of people, so we don't need people to follow here."

Monk Ma was stunned for a moment, but didn't react: "No one? What?"

"Use wandering ghosts." Cui Yougui said, "When demons and ghosts smell human scents, they are indeed prone to vigilance and defense. But even if they find the scent of wandering ghosts, they won't be too concerned. "

This is the truth.

During this period of time, many ghosts appeared in Mianyuan County. Even if the murderer who killed Huang San sensed the existence of ghosts nearby, he would not suspect that these ghosts were spies sent by the Zhenyao Division.

Because wandering ghosts and ghosts are different from Qingji, the latter is like a silly roe deer, and has a loud voice, which has already yelled so much that the people and ghosts in the whole city know that they have become a member of the demon town.

In contrast, the wandering ghosts who were brought into the demon town by Cui Yougui were much more low-key.

So far, except for the night watchmen in the Demon Suppressing Division, no one or ghosts know that some of the wandering ghosts wandering around the city at night have already become good.

Moreover, the strength of wandering ghosts is very weak, even if the murderer finds out about their existence, they won't care, at best they will drive them away.

the only problem is

Qin Shaoyou pointed to the sky, and said: "The group of lonely ghosts in our town demon division have very weak ghost spirits, and I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the sun during the day."

"This problem is not difficult to solve. Just find a temporary hiding place for those lonely ghosts. Anyway, we only need them to keep an eye on this place, and we don't need them to come out to patrol."

After Cui Yougui said this, he raised his hand and pointed towards the not-too-distant distance.

"Aren't there just a few willow trees and pagoda trees over there? They are all five shades, which are the most suitable for ghosts to hide. Even during the day, as long as they hide in the trees and don't come out, nothing will happen. And that location is just right for ghosts to hide. It's under surveillance here."

Brother Cui is an expert in matters such as ghosts. Since he said that it is possible to let wandering ghosts hide in the trees to monitor this place, it must be possible.

In contrast, Monk Ma is only good at fooling around with physical supernatural powers.

And Qin Shaoyou is only good at sacrificing ghosts to the temple of the five internal organs.

"Then do as Senior Brother Cui said, let's go back and get a group of lonely souls and wild ghosts." Qin Shaoyou immediately made a decision, but when he was halfway through the speech, he saw Qiu Rong continuously sign language to him.

Qin Shaoyou understood Qiurong's sign language and asked, "Do you want to stay here and monitor here?"

Qiu Rong nodded repeatedly.

It's been a while since she came to Zhenyaosi. Although she did a good job in logistics, she not only helped the night watchmen wash clothes and cook, but also cleaned the Datong shop where the night watchmen slept.

The original Datong shop had a complex smell, and even the smell was divided into many layers.

But now with Qiu Rong helping to tidy up and clean up every day, the situation is much better.

At least Qin Shaoyou will not be brought into tears by the strong smell when he enters Datongpu again.

But after doing so many things, Qiurong is still not satisfied. She wants to do more things to repay the Night Watchman for avenging her. At the same time, she also wants to show more of her abilities so that she can stay in the town. In the monster.

The people in the Town Demon Division are all talents, they speak nicely, they will teach her skills, and give her delicious food.

She absolutely loves it here.

Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed a good proposal for Qiurong to stay and monitor.

Qiurong's ability to hide his body and to be invisible, even he can't guard against it.

It is more suitable for Qiu Rong to stay here to monitor than ordinary wandering ghosts. After all, the human bones buried here have been touched by them. As long as the murderer comes over, he will definitely be more careful.

Ordinary wandering ghosts, I'm afraid they can't hide it.

"Okay, I'll just stay here and keep an eye on you."

Qin Shaoyou beckoned, called Qiurong to the front, took out the cloud-piercing arrow and the paper crane talisman from his body, and handed them to her, and said: "If you see a ghost coming, you can put the paper crane talisman to notify us. If you encounter danger , don’t hesitate, release the Cloud Piercing Arrow immediately.”

Qiu Rong nodded to express her understanding, and with a wave of her red sleeves, she put the Cloud Piercing Arrow and the Paper Crane Talisman into the sleeve cage.

Then, holding a red umbrella, she floated directly to an old locust tree not far away, and with a flick of her figure, she went straight into the trunk.

After Qiurong was hidden, Qin Shaoyou checked the area again, making sure that there were no flaws left, and then returned to Zhenyaosi with Cui Yougui, Monk Ma and others.

As soon as he returned to Zhenyaosi, Cui Yougui went to the back of the lobby to find wandering ghosts and go on missions.

He wanted to select some clever ones and take them to other places where Huang San's remains were hidden.

The strength of these wandering ghosts is far inferior to that of Qiu Rong. Not only can they not walk under the sun with an umbrella, but they also cannot get into locust trees and willows by themselves.

It all depends on Cui Yougui.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Cui has the means and the ability.

On his way back to Zhenyaosi, he went to the funeral shop to buy a spirit-calling flag, and now he came to the back of the lobby, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and the surface of the umbrella was covered with mud.

After choosing a wandering ghost, Senior Brother Cui will recite the mantra and shake the soul-calling banner.

Therefore, the wandering ghosts will first attach themselves to the soul-calling banners, and the oil-paper umbrellas will be covered with mud to prevent them from being hurt by the sun.

After arriving at the place, Cui Yougui will cast the spell again to let the wandering ghosts come out of the soul-calling banner and get into the corresponding dwelling.

Qin Shaoyou did not participate in this job, and Cui Youyu was given full power to do it.

One is that he can't help if he wants to participate, and the other is that he has other things to do.

After Qin Shaoyou entered the police room, he took out the file and began to look through it.

He not only looked at the recent case file of the Zhenyaosi, but also looked at the case records of the Zhenyaosi and the county government over the past year or so, looking for content related to the disappearance case.

In the end, he discovered that not only did the disappearances occur during the month or so during the haunting of ghosts, but also in the past year or so, there had been some cases of disappearances in Mianyuan County and the surrounding villages and towns.

Some of these cases have been solved, while others have become unsolved cases.

Qin Shaoyou tried to find common ground from these disappearance cases, but he couldn't find them.

These missing people, male and female, old and young, both inside and outside the city, have no connection with each other at all.

The only clue that Qin Shaoyou could find was that most of these disappearances occurred outside the city at first.

And when the Black Lotus Cult demon abducted the children in the city and turned them into dogs, the disappearance case was transferred to the city.

It's just that everyone at that time was attracted by the cases of missing children~lightnovelpub.net~ so they didn't notice these missing cases.

But it is also possible that they noticed it, but suspected that these cases were related to the disappearance of children, so no special investigation was launched.

After all, in Mianyuan County at that time, many officials from the county magistrate to the lower officials were followers of the Black Lotus Sect, and even many of the county town demons were bribed.

Once they mistakenly think that these missing people were taken away by the Black Lotus Sect, they will naturally turn a blind eye.

"etc"

Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized something.

Now, I am looking at the problem from the perspective of hindsight, so I know that several yamen in Mianyuan County have colluded with the Black Lotus Sect, so I will not seriously investigate the case related to the disappearance of the child.

But what about the murderer?

Could it be that he also knew?

Because according to common sense, whether the murderer is a ghost or a human, he must be very cunning and cautious to hide in the city and commit so many crimes.

According to his cautious personality, when there are a large number of children missing in the city, he should be cautious and restrained, so as not to be caught on fire and taken as a scapegoat.

But he just took advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters.

Is it because he is bold and confident in his own strength, and firmly believes that no one will find out about him?

Or

At that time, the murderer already knew that Mianyuan County was infiltrated by the Black Lotus Sect, so he dared to fish in troubled waters, or even act recklessly?

Qin Shaoyou stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

These questions, I am afraid, can only be answered by finding the murderer.

Qin Shaoyou quickly counted the names, places of origin, and birthdays of the missing persons in the past year or so, made a list, found Cui Yougui, and asked him if he could cast the spell again to find out the whereabouts of the remains of these missing persons.
