I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

Chapter 848: Determine the target

Plasterwashing Street is a street on the northwest corner of Qingtangwei. There is a river beside the street, and the water in it has a strong odor.

This street is named because a large number of leather craftsmen gather here to make a living by tanning and washing leather.

Before the outbreak of the war, there were a large number of craftsmen here in Staring Street. Every day, they helped leather merchants to tanner and pulp a large amount of leather, which was very lively.

After the outbreak of the war, Xingxian Street was also one of the few places in Qingtang Acropolis that could still maintain the bustling scene of the past.

After all, things like leather are military assets and are especially important in wartime. The leather craftsmen in the pulp washing street were all taken over by the frontier army. Without the order of Dongchuanhou, let alone leaving the Qingtang acropolis, even walking out of the pulp washing street at will, is not allowed.

"My lord, the Qingtang wizard you are looking for is hidden in this alley."

Cai Guizhong looked at the Qingtang Sanitary Records he was holding in his hand and reported to Qin Shaoyouhui.

Not far away, the spy who hid in the dark to monitor Qin Shaoyou and others, but only saw Qin Shaoyou and others, but not Cai Guizhong.

This is his special magical power as a yin god. Unless someone with a high enough cultivation base can perceive his existence, those spies are still a little worse, not to mention Qin Shaoyou and others help to cover up.

"Are you sure? Is it really here?"

After listening to Cai Guizhong's words, Qin Shaoyou's face not only did not show joy, but he frowned slightly.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Cai Guizhong, it's just that they did a search in the place of Lashwashing Street in the past two days, and not only did they not find the ghost of the Qingtang wizard, but they also didn't smell the smell left behind by him.

As for fetuses and babies, there are quite a few, but in terms of time, they all don't match the number.

Either it will take a few months to be born, or it has been born for several months and has not been born in the past few days, or it is a baby and fetus that is about to be born.

After listening to Qin Shaoyou's reason for questioning, Cai Guizhong thought for a while, and then he had a guess.

"The book of life and death said very plainly. The soul of the Qingtang wizard is here... Could it be the baby or fetus that he reincarnated, what's weird?"

With suspicion, Cai Guizhong, without waiting for Qin Shaoyou to speak, mobilized the incense in the Qingtang Weili and the Chenghuang Temple, and performed magical techniques, so that the book of life and death he was holding in his hand quickly flipped through it. The information of those babies and fetuses in the starch washing street.

After a while, he snorted, and the book of life and death stopped turning pages.

"What's the matter, Lao Cai, did you find out?" Zhu Xiucai hurriedly asked.

Cai Guizhong nodded: "There is a record of a baby here, which is weird."

While speaking, he recited the incantation, mobilized more incense, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on the book of life and death.

Zhu Xiucai probed curiously, but saw nothing.

But Qin Shaoyou and Cai Guizhong could both see clearly that with Cai Guizhong's hand wiping like this, a light appeared on the book of life and death, dispelling the haze and revealing the true content of this page.

Qin Shaoyou read it out in a low voice: "The third son of the Xu family, the body was born on the 16th day of April in the 30th year of Jianwu, and the soul belongs to the 8th day of the third month in the 31st year of Jianwu..."

"Um?"

When Zhu Xiucai heard this, he looked at the book of life and death, and then at Qin Shaoyou, his face full of astonishment.

In his eyes, the book of life and death was a blank piece with nothing in it.

How did Qin Shaoyou see this passage?

"Sir, can you see the contents of the book of life and death?"

Cai Guizhong was also a little surprised.

But he didn't discuss this issue too much, pointing to the book of life and death and said: "The content on this page of the book of life and death just now was covered up and tampered with by magic. I used a lot of incense to correct its true content. Come back. Presumably this third son of the Xu family is the Qingtang wizard who was reincarnated."

Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.

"The third son of the Xu family, the soul belongs to the eighth day of the third month in the thirty-one year of Jianwu, which is the day when the Qingtang wizard committed suicide... It seems that this Qingtang wizard was planning the layout early in the morning!"

Zhu Xiucai stared hard at the book of life and death, wanting to see the contents on it, but his eyes were about to pop out, but he still didn't see anything, only his eyes were black and his hair fainted.

After hearing the discussion between Qin Shaoyou and Cai Guizhong, he gave up the idea of ​​​​seeing the content from the book of life and death, and said one thing:

"I remembered. When I was investigating in the Xingxian Street before, I heard people say that in Xu Jiaren's home, there was a young child with dementia, who was almost one year old. Others teased, the child did not respond.

Every day that child only knows how to eat milk, pee, pee, and sleep. Even if he is not given milk, and he is extremely hungry, he will not cry.

Someone persuaded Xu Jiangren to secretly send the demented young son to someone for disposal. But he refused, saying that this child was his flesh and blood after all, and that his first two children had died, and now that he finally had three sons, he couldn't give up easily. He also said that there was a master who helped him see the child, saying that the child was not really stupid, but that his intelligence was not developed. When he was a little older, he would send him to a temple to live for a period of time, and he would be able to help him under the enlightenment of gods and Buddhas. He opened up his wisdom, so he flew into the sky, and he became rich and noble..."

Qin Qiaoer synthesized the clues from the crowd and analyzed:

"It seems that the Qingtang wizard used some kind of sorcery to devour the soul of the third son of the Xu family in advance, but he left his body immortal and was successfully born.

Afterwards, the Qingtang wizard pretended to be a mage again, deceived Xu Jiangren, and drew a big cake for him, so that he would not abandon the child.

We have been targeting the newborn and the fetus to be born~lightnovelpub.net~ but we never thought that the Qingtang wizard had prepared for him to reincarnate a few months ago. Flesh.

If it wasn't for Cai Chenghuang's use of the book of life and death to find out the truth, we might have tried our best to find him. "

After listening to everyone's analysis, Cui Youkui exclaimed: "This Qingtang wizard is really good at calculating, he's almost catching up with me!"

"Can you have some face?" Qin Shaoyou spat at him, and then asked Zhu Xiucai, "Where is the home of Craftsman Xu in Starwash Street?"

Without saying a word, Zhu Xiucai took Qin Shaoyou and his party to touch Xu Jiangren's home.

This is a very simple and small earth house, but Qin Shaoyou used his hearing and clever nose to hear human voices and smell people in this small earth room.

Zhu Xiucai guessed: "The artisans in Pulp Washing Street were requisitioned by the army after the war broke out. At this time, they should be tanning leather for the military. Xu Craftsman's wife, like many women in Pulp Washing Street, They will also help starch and wash leather, sell their strength in exchange for rice grains, and most likely bring their young sons along with them.”

So everyone rushed to the place where the leather was tanned. There were indeed a lot of people here. Zhu Xiucai found the person in charge here. here.

After determining the target, Qin Shaoyou and the others did not rush to do it, but sent someone to ask Dongchuanhou for support. At the same time, an order came, and the person in charge made an excuse to tell the craftsmen to leave work early and go home. So as not to cause accidental injury to innocent people when arresting.

When Xu Jiang's family returned to their residence, the soldiers who came to reinforce them also arrived.

It's just that the attitude of these soldiers is not very cooperative.
