Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 111: Dial Cloud Operation
Half an hour later, a map of Jinxia City marking the evil cases in the past ten to twenty-five years was hung up.
There are a total of 26 incidents of sprites in these records, there are four incidents of sprites, fifteen incidents of charms, and a total of forty-six incidents of monsters.
If you look up these cases separately, it is difficult to see the connection between each other, but when placed on a map, Luo Youer and Wei Wushuang immediately discovered that the distribution of sprites is very messy, and it can be said that they are everywhere. But the marks of ghosts and charms are much more concentrated. The former are all located on the beach, the latter are four from the south of the city, five from the north pier, and the rest are scattered in the outer city and surrounding countryside.
"It's so close..." Wei Wushuang exclaimed, "Brother Xia, do you mean that these evil places are likely to be the enemy's hiding place?"
"Yes, human behavior can lead to evil, and conversely, we can deduce human behavior from the amount of evil."
Xia Fan used a pen glued with cinnabar to draw red circles on the above three places. "Most sprites are animals, so the distribution is not regular, but the charm and sprites are different."
The evil they encountered in Qingshan Town was the charm—the consciousness of death, or the long gathering of qi, eventually triggered the vision. It does not need the corpse itself, it can be formed on its own.
As for ghosts, they are often based on corpses, which are more aggressive and more difficult to form.
In terms of quantity, the ratio of the two also fits this characteristic.
As for why we choose a case between ten and fifteen years, the reason is also very simple. At least during that time, Gaoshan County was in a period of low incidence of evil. The county magistrate at that time probably didn't choose to go with the Wang family before he died. At the same time, Xia Fan believed that ruins like the high mountain grottoes could not be found everywhere in Shenzhou.
If people cannot be transported to other places for processing, Jinxia's evil cases will inevitably show an increasing trend. Once it is put on the scale of fifteen years, time will automatically connect all the clues together.
"My lord, my humble position thinks...the possibility of the Donghai Gang hiding on the beach is unlikely." After joining Xia Fan's team, Li Xing spoke for the first time. You can hear from the wording that he is still quite cautious. After all, in the past, he was a quick catcher, not an alchemist, and his identity alone was a huge difference, let alone his first participation in a major mission in the Privy Council.
During the time he came to Jinxia City, what he did the most was to make up for evil and related knowledge.
Xia Fan will not underestimate each other because of his identity, "Tell me what you think."
"Yes. Since members of the Wu Gang and the outer circle of the East Sea Gang have no way of knowing where it is hiding, it must not be noticeable. Either it is underground or hidden in a group of buildings." Li Xingbian thought, said. "The bottom of the beach is soft and not suitable for digging trenches, and the top is flat and empty, and salt-burners often pass by. The East China Sea Gang should not choose to gather here."
"I think the reason there are so many ghosts here is because the seaside is suitable for destroying corpses." He concluded.
"Destroying the corpse... Extinguishing the trace?" Luo Youer trembled.
"As long as you throw it into the water at high tide, the sea can take away the evidence. Even if you rush back later, the body is probably illegible." Li Xing nodded, "In fact, it's not just the sea, but the big lake, the dark river, and even the sea. Deep wells are all good choices-well, I mean, I often deal with similar murders."
Xia Fan smiled, his thoughts coincided with each other, "Then there are two places left. It is not difficult to understand how evil the wharves are. There are many gangs gathered there, and they often fight for territory. The flow of people is complicated and it is indeed suitable for hiding."
"As for the south of the city..." He also has some doubts here. From the map, the south of the city can be regarded as the "rich area" of Jinxia City. There are many restaurants and shops, and there are also many three-story blue brick buildings. In the walled courtyard, it was unexpected that the evil incidents here were second only to the inland wharf. "It doesn't seem to be a good hiding place."
"Then we mainly search the dock area?" Wei Wushuang asked.
"No, to be on the safe side, the investigation will be done in two sides." Xia Fan made a judgment, "The dock is crowded, and the alchemist is easy to see through even if he is dressed in disguise, so I will hand it over to Li and Shanhui. Search, focusing on dark alleys on street corners and guarded places."
"In the south of the city, Zhao Dahai and Li Xing led the team. According to the file records, they checked the location of the crime. If you find anything suspicious, remember to come back and report to me immediately. Don't conflict with the enemy. Donghai It is very likely that there are people who are in the gang’s hiding place."
"Don't worry, you don't need to remind you of this. As long as there is wind and grass, I will stay far away." Zhao Dahai buttoned his ears.
"The East China Sea Gang’s actions in Jinxia City have been full of evil, which has seriously affected the safety of the city and the living order of the local residents. It should be the duty of the government to bring them to justice, but under the blessing of the Wang family, they not only Did not get punished, but stretched out his hand to the surrounding counties."
"Since the government does not act, then the Privy Council will revive the law! This time, we will completely destroy the dens of the Donghai Gang and get rid of them!" Xia Fanlang said, "This investigation is called "Dial Cloud", I am here waiting for your good news. So, help you all go smoothly and get started! "
"Yes!" Li Xing and others arched their hands.
"Your kid... has grown up." Zhao Dahai smiled, and then walked towards the door, "Don't say, I think this alchemist robe suits you well for my teacher."
Li was the last to leave.
Before that, she stared at a point on the map for a long time.
That was also the only case recorded as a demon among all evil events.
According to the dossier, the other party seemed to be a cat demon, who had been in the downtown area for a long time, almost completely integrated with the surrounding people.
Until she was found flawed by colliding with the messenger of the Privy Council.
The reason for the collision was not because of hatred or hostility, but simply because there was an urgent letter that needed to be delivered at the time. After entering the city, the courier rode a horse and did not slow down at all. When passing through the downtown area, a child happened to stand in the way. In front of the horses.
I don’t know why ~IndoMTL.com~ The recording department did not hide this paragraph, but recorded it completely.
As a result, the child was rescued, the cat demon was bruised, and the messenger had to stop the horse.
If this is the case, this accident may not cause much attention.
But the child ran over to help the bruised cat demon, and touched her tail hiding behind her back. He was shocked and shouted out this discovery.
Finally, the cat demon was arrested by the Privy Council and executed in the downtown area.
It's been twelve years since this incident. No matter the long street stained with monster blood or the onlookers at that time, it is no longer what it used to be.
Xia Fan wanted to say something, but Li stopped him with his eyes.
She seemed to be telling Xia Fan not to worry about her for this kind of thing.
In those golden eyes, he seemed to feel an extremely complex emotion, including anger, regret, and regret, but more...thanks to him.
